Our Board of Directors (the “Board”) has fixed the close of business on April 20, 2021 as the record date for the Annual Meeting. All shareholders of record at that time are entitled to notice of and are entitled to vote in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting and any adjournments or postponements thereof.

COMPANY INFORMATION

Global Indemnity Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company formed on June 23, 2020, replaced Global Indemnity Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares, as the ultimate parent company of the Global Indemnity group of companies as a result of a redomestication transaction completed on August 28, 2020 (the “Redomestication”). The Class A Common Shares of Global Indemnity Group, LLC are traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (“NASDAQ”) under the symbol “GBLI.” Our predecessor companies have been traded on the NASDAQ since 2003. Our website is www.global-indemnity.com. Information on our website is not incorporated into this Proxy Statement.

References in this Proxy Statement to “Global Indemnity,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Global Indemnity Group, LLC and our consolidated subsidiaries unless the context requires otherwise or, prior to August 28, 2020, to Global Indemnity Limited.

VOTING AND REVOCABILITY OF PROXIES

If, at the close of business on April 20, 2021, you were a shareholder of record, you may vote your shares by proxy either by mail or by participating in the Annual Meeting, or any adjournments or postponements thereof. For shares held through a bank, broker or other nominee, you may vote by following the instructions provided by your bank, broker or nominee to submit voting instructions to your bank, broker or other nominee. You may revoke your proxy or proxies at the times and in the manners described below.

If you are a shareholder of record or hold shares through a bank, broker or other nominee and are voting by proxy, in order to be counted your mailed proxy card must be received by 11:59 p.m. (Eastern) on June 14, 2021.

To Vote By Proxy:

For Shareholders of Record, By Mail:

When you receive the proxy card, mark your selections on the proxy card.

Date and sign your name exactly as it appears on your proxy card.

Mail the proxy card in the postage-paid envelope that will be provided to you.

If Shares Held Through a Bank, Broker, or Other Nominee:

Follow the instructions provided by your bank, broker or other nominee to submit your voting instructions to your bank, broker or other nominee.

To Vote In Person:

For Shareholders of Record:

You can participate in the Annual Meeting. If you vote by proxy and also participate in the Annual Meeting, there is no need to vote again at the Annual Meeting unless you wish to change your vote. To participate in the Annual Meeting you must register at https://register.proxypush.com/GBLI by June 14, 2021 by using the control number found on your proxy card or voting instruction form. Even if you plan to participate in the Annual Meeting, we recommend that you also vote by proxy so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to participate in the Annual Meeting.

If Shares Held Through a Bank, Broker, or Other Nominee:

If you hold your shares through a bank, broker or other nominee, please also bring with you a letter from the bank, broker or other nominee confirming your ownership as of the record date (April 20, 2021). You will not be able to vote such shares in person at the Annual Meeting unless you obtain a proxy, executed in your favor, from the record holder (i.e. bank, broker or other nominee) giving you the right to vote at the Annual Meeting.

General:

Failure to register may delay your ability to participate or prevent you from participating, in the Annual Meeting.

The following proposals are scheduled to be voted on at the Annual Meeting:

•

Proposal One: To elect the following individual to the Board of Directors of Global Indemnity Group, LLC: Seth J. Gersch.

•

Proposal Two: To ratify the appointment of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s independent auditor and to authorize our Board of Directors acting through its Audit Committee to determine its fees.

In addition, if any other matters are properly brought up at the Annual Meeting (other than the proposals contained in this Proxy Statement) or any adjournments or postponements thereof, then the individuals named in your proxy card will have the authority to vote your shares on those matters in accordance with their discretion and judgment. The Board currently does not know of any matters to be raised at the Annual Meeting other than the proposals contained in this Proxy Statement.

On the record date, 10,479,999 Class A Common Shares and 3,947,206 Class B Common Shares of Global Indemnity were issued and outstanding (“Outstanding Voting Shares”). On each matter voted on at the Annual Meeting and any adjournment or postponement thereof, each record holder of Class A Common Shares will be entitled to one vote per share and each record holder of Class B Common Shares will be entitled to ten votes per share. The holders of Class A Common Shares and the holders of Class B Common Shares will vote together as a single class.

The required quorum for the Annual Meeting consists of the holders of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the Outstanding Voting Shares, taken as a single class, present in person or represented by proxy. For each of the proposals being considered at the Annual Meeting, approval of the proposal requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes cast.

If you mark your proxy as “Abstain” on any matter, or if you give specific instructions that no vote be cast on any specific matter, the shares represented by your proxy will not be voted on that matter and will have no effect on the outcome of such matter, but will be counted in determining whether a quorum is present. Proxies submitted by banks, brokers, or other nominees that do not indicate a vote for one or more of the proposals because the bank, broker, or other nominee does not have discretionary voting authority, but does have discretionary authority to vote on at least one proposal, and has not received instructions as to how to vote on those proposals (so called “broker non-votes”) are also considered in determining whether a quorum is present, but will not affect the outcome of any vote.

Banks, brokers, or other nominees holding shares in street name for beneficial owners are generally required to vote such shares in the manner directed by the beneficial owner. In the absence of timely directions, your broker, bank or other nominee will have discretion to vote your shares on our sole “routine” matter, the proposal to ratify the appointment of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s independent auditor for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021. Your broker will not have discretion to vote on any other proposals, which are “non-routine” matters, absent direction from you.

You may vote your shares at the Annual Meeting in person or by proxy. All valid proxies received before the Annual Meeting will be voted according to their terms. If you complete your proxy properly, but do not provide instructions as to how to vote your shares, your proxy will be voted as follows at the Annual Meeting or any adjournments or postponements thereof:

•

“FOR” the election of Seth J. Gersch.

•

“FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Global Indemnity Group, LLC’s independent auditor and the authorization of our Board of Directors acting through its Audit Committee to set its fees.

If any other business is properly brought before the Annual Meeting, shares subject to proxies will be voted, to the extent permitted by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), in accordance with the discretion of the persons voting such proxies. If you are a shareholder of record, you may change your vote and revoke your proxy by:

•

Sending a written statement to that effect to our Corporate Secretary c/o Global Indemnity Group, LLC Three Bala Plaza East, Suite 300, Bala Cynwyd, PA 19004, provided such statement is received no later than 11:59 p.m. (Eastern) on June 14, 2021;

•

Submitting a properly signed proxy card with a later date that is received no later than 11:59 p.m. (Eastern) on June 14, 2021; or

•

Participating in the Annual Meeting and voting in person.

We will bear the cost of preparing and soliciting proxies, including the reasonable charges and expenses of brokerage firms or other nominees for forwarding proxy materials to shareholders. In addition to solicitation by mail, certain of our directors, officers, and employees may solicit proxies personally or by telephone or other electronic means without extra compensation, with the exception of reimbursement for actual expenses incurred in connection with the solicitation. The enclosed proxy is solicited by and on behalf of our Board.

PROPOSAL ONE: ELECTION OF DIRECTOR

Our Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (the “LLCA”) provides that the size of our Board shall be determined from time to time by our Board, and the number of directors on our Board is currently fixed at seven. The current directors on our Board are Saul A. Fox, Joseph W. Brown, David S. Charlton, Seth J. Gersch, Jason B. Hurwitz, Bruce R. Lederman, and James D. Wehr.

Under the LLCA, the Class B Majority Shareholder is any person or group that, together with their respective affiliates, holds, beneficially or of record, (i) a majority of the outstanding Class B Common Shares and (ii) shares representing in the aggregate, at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the voting power of Global Indemnity’s outstanding shares. The Fox Paine Fund, as defined in the “Principal Shareholders and Security Ownership of Management” section of this proxy statement and FM Entities (collectively with the Fox Paine Fund and Fox Paine & Company, LLC, the “Fox Paine Entities”) beneficially own 100% of the outstanding Class B Common Shares and Class A and B Common Shares representing approximately 83% of the voting power of Global Indemnity as of April 20, 2021 and are therefore the Class B Majority Shareholder. Pursuant to Section 5.3 of the LLCA, and based on the percentage of the voting power in the Company of the Class B Majority Shareholder as of the record date, the Class B Majority Shareholder is entitled to appoint six (6) of the seven (7) directors of the Board (the “Designated Directors”). The Class B Majority Shareholder notified Global Indemnity in writing on April 29, 2021, that it has appointed the following individuals to serve as Designated Directors for a term beginning on the date of the Annual Meeting and expiring at Global Indemnity’s 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders: Saul A.

Our Board has nominated Seth J. Gersch for election as director to fill the remaining Board seat, for a term expiring at the 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, or when a successor is duly elected and qualified. If Mr. Gersch becomes unable to or declines to serve as a director prior to election at the Annual Meeting, the persons named in the accompanying proxy shall have discretionary authority to vote for a substitute or substitutes as the Board may nominate.

PROPOSAL TWO: RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF GLOBAL INDEMNITY GROUP, LLC’S INDEPENDENT AUDITOR AND AUTHORIZATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO DETERMINE ITS FEES

General

The appointment of an independent auditor is made annually by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee reviews both the audit scope and estimated fees for professional services for the coming year. The Audit Committee has appointed Ernst & Young Global Limited (“EY”) as our independent auditor for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021. As a matter of good corporate governance, the Audit Committee submits its selection of the independent auditor to our shareholders for ratification in a non-binding vote at the Annual Meeting. In addition, shareholders will be asked to authorize our Board acting through its Audit Committee to set the fees for EY. If the shareholders do not ratify the appointment of EY, the selection of our independent registered public accounting firm may be reconsidered by the Audit Committee. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may select a different independent auditor at any time during the year if it determines that such a change is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

A representative of EY is expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions from shareholders at the Annual Meeting. The representative will also have the opportunity to make a statement if he or she desires.

Information Regarding Our Independent Auditor

The following table shows the fees that were billed to us by EY for professional services rendered for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.


Fee Category	2020		2019
Audit Fees	$	1,643,784	$	1,673,803
Audit-Related Fees		249,800		0
Tax Fees		413,469		346,080
All Other Fees		0		0

Total Fees	$	2,307,053	$	2,019,883

Audit Fees

This category includes fees for the audit of our annual financial statements and review of interim quarterly financial statements included on our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and services that are normally provided by EY in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements.

Audit-Related Fees

This category includes fees for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements and are not included above under “Audit Fees.” For 2020, we paid EY $249,800 related to agreed-upon procedures for audit work related to Global Indemnity Reinsurance Company, Limited’s merger into Penn-Patriot Insurance Company. No payments were made to EY in 2019 for audit-related fees.

Tax Fees

This category includes fees for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning. The services provided included tax advice and assistance with tax compliance and reporting to federal, state and foreign taxing authorities as well as transfer pricing services. In 2020, we paid EY $164,683 for advice relating to the Redomestication, $99,433

for advice relating to foreign tax matters, $6,430 for consulting on federal tax matters, and $422 for advice on a local tax issue. We also paid EY $142,500 for tax compliance services. In 2019, we paid EY $142,349 for advice relating to foreign tax matters, $14,754 for advice on a local tax issue, and $8,227 for consulting on U.S. federal tax matters. We also paid EY $180,750 for tax compliance and transfer pricing services. The Audit Committee considered whether providing the non-audit services shown in the table above was compatible with maintaining EY independence and concluded that it was.

All Other Fees

This category includes fees for products and services provided by EY that are not included in the categories described above. No payments were made to EY in 2020 or 2019 for all other fees.

Pre-Approval of Services

To ensure that our independent auditor maintains the highest level of independence and pursuant to the Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy, the Audit Committee is required to pre-approve the audit and permitted non-audit services performed by our independent auditor. The Audit Committee pre-approved 100% of the fees for audit and non-audit services performed by EY during the year ended December 31, 2020. To ensure that the provision of these services does not impair the independence of our independent auditor, unless a type of service to be provided by our independent auditor and the associated fees have been pre-approved in accordance with the Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy, the Audit Committee’s separate pre-approval of any proposed services and the associated fees is required. The Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy only applies to services provided to us by our independent auditor; it does not apply to similar services performed by persons other than our independent auditor. The term of any pre-approval is 12 months from the date of pre-approval, unless the Audit Committee specifically provides for a different period. The Audit Committee will periodically, or more often as it deems necessary in its judgment, reassess and revise the Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy. The Audit Committee most recently reassessed and approved its Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy in November 2016.

Required Vote

The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting will be required for the ratification of the appointment of EY as our independent auditor for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021 and the authorization of our Board acting through its Audit Committee to set fees for EY.

The Board of Directors Recommends voting “For” Proposal Two.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND CERTAIN GOVERNANCE MATTERS

Board Structure

It is our policy to separate the positions of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. While we recognize that different board leadership structures may be appropriate for companies in different situations, we believe that our current policy of having a separate Chairman of the Board is the most appropriate for us at this time. In today’s challenging economic and regulatory environment, directors, more than ever, are required to spend a substantial amount of time and energy in successfully navigating a wide variety of issues and guiding the policies and practices of the companies they oversee. To that end, we believe that having a Chairman of the Board independent of the Company’s management, whose sole job is to lead the Board, allows our management to better focus their time and energy on running the day-to-day operations of Global Indemnity. Our previous Chief Executive Officer, Cynthia Y. Valko, retired in January 2021. On April 19, 2021, David S. Charlton was appointed as the Chief Executive, Insurance Operations and the principal executive officer of the Company. The Board believes that Global Indemnity’s current leadership structure does not affect its role in risk oversight of Global Indemnity.

While the full Board is ultimately responsible for risk oversight, the Board exercises its risk oversight responsibilities through its committees, which regularly report to the full Board. Our Enterprise Risk Management Committee addresses enterprise risk matters, the Audit Committee addresses financial reporting risk, the Nomination, Compensation, and Governance Committee addresses compensation related matters, the Investment Committee addresses risks related to investing and the Technology Committee addresses risks related to technology. Finally, our Board regularly meets with members of the senior management team at quarterly meetings of the Board, where, among other topics, they discuss strategy and risks facing the Company, as well as at such other times as they deem appropriate. For a further discussion, see “Board Committees” below.

Our Board has determined that Seth J. Gersch, Joseph W. Brown, Jason B. Hurwitz, Bruce R. Lederman, and James D. Wehr are independent as defined by applicable NASDAQ Listing Rules and the SEC rules. We believe that the number of independent, experienced directors that make up our Board, along with the oversight of our Board by the non-executive Chairman of the Board, benefits us and our shareholders.

Meetings and Independence Requirements

Our Board, including when serving as the Board of Global Indemnity Limited, held eight meetings in 2020. In 2020, all of the incumbent members of our Board attended 75% or more of the total number of meetings of our Board and the total number of meetings held by committees on which they served that were held during the period for which they were directors and served on such committees.

The Annual Meeting will be our eighteenth annual meeting of shareholders. We do not have a policy about directors’ attendance at our annual meeting of shareholders. No director attended our 2020 Annual Meeting.

Global Indemnity is a “controlled company” as defined in Rule 5615(c)(1) of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules because more than 50% of our voting power is held by affiliated funds of Fox Paine & Company, LLC. See “Additional Information — Principal Shareholders and Security Ownership of Management.” Therefore, we are exempt from certain requirements of Rule 5605 with respect to (1) having a majority of independent directors on our Board, (2) having the compensation of our executive officers determined by a majority of independent directors or a compensation committee composed solely of independent directors, and (3) having nominees for director selected or recommended for selection by either a majority of independent directors or a nominating committee composed solely of independent directors.

There are no family relationships among any of our directors or executive officers.

Board Committees

The Board currently has seven members and the following seven committees: Audit; Conflicts; Nomination, Compensation, & Governance; Executive; Investment; Technology, and Enterprise Risk Management.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee held four meetings in 2020. The Audit Committee currently consists of Seth J. Gersch, Joseph W. Brown, and Jason B. Hurwitz. Mr. Gersch is currently the Chair of the Audit Committee. Our Board has determined that Messrs. Gersch, Brown, and Hurwitz each qualify as “independent directors” as that term is defined in the NASDAQ Listing Rules, and each member of the Audit Committee satisfies the enhanced independence requirements for Audit Committee members under the rules of the SEC and the NASDAQ Listing Rules. Our Board has also determined that all three members of the Audit Committee are able to read and understand fundamental financial statements as required by the NASDAQ Listing Rules and that Messrs. Gersch and Brown qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the rules of the SEC.

The principal duties of the Audit Committee are to oversee our accounting and financial reporting processes and the audit of our financial statements, to select and retain our independent auditor, to review with management and our independent auditor our annual financial statements and related footnotes, to review our internal audit activities, to review with our independent auditor the planned scope and results of the annual audit and its reports and recommendations, and to review with the independent auditor matters relating to our system of internal controls.

Conflicts Committee

The Conflicts Committee held one meeting in 2020. The Conflicts Committee currently consists of Seth J. Gersch, Jason B. Hurwitz, and Bruce R. Lederman. Mr. Gersch is the Chair of the Conflicts Committee.

The primary duty of the Conflicts Committee is to, as and when requested by the Board, investigate, review, evaluate and take action upon any actual or potential conflicts of interest that may exist or arise from time to time in connection with any transaction, activity, arrangement, circumstance or other matter between or among one or more of Global Indemnity’s shareholders and/or directors or any of their affiliates, on the one hand, and Global Indemnity, on the other hand.

A copy of our Conflicts Committee Charter is available on our website at www.global-indemnity.com.

Nomination, Compensation, & Governance Committee

The Nomination, Compensation, & Governance Committee (“Nom-Comp Committee”) was formed on January 1, 2021 as a result of the merger of the Compensation Committee and Nominating & Governance Committee. The predecessor committees held three meetings in 2020. The Nom-Comp Committee currently consists of Bruce R. Lederman and James D. Wehr each of whom qualifies as an independent director under the applicable NASDAQ Listing Rules and SEC rules. Mr. Lederman is the Chair of the Nom-Comp Committee.

The primary duties of the Nom-Comp Committee are to identify and recommend to the Board individuals qualified to serve as directors and on committees; to advise the Board with respect to the Board composition, procedures and committees; to oversee Global Indemnity’s compensation and employee benefit plans and practices, including its executive compensation plans and its incentive-compensation and equity-based plans; to review and discuss with management the Company’s compensation discussion and analysis to be included in the Company’s annual proxy statement or annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC; to prepare the Compensation Committee Report as required by the rules of the SEC; to develop, recommend and advise the Board with respect to the corporate governance principles applicable to the Company; and to oversee the evaluation of the Board and the Company’s management.

The Nom-Comp Committee meets at least once a year in conjunction with a regularly scheduled Board meeting and as needed at other times. Management participates in such meetings at the invitation of the Nom-Comp Committee, providing financial data on which compensation decisions are based, publicly available compensation data with respect to our competitors, and updates on legal developments affecting compensation. Management may also propose financial targets on which performance will be judged. Generally, at each meeting an executive session is held without members of management present. In the course of its activities, the Nom-Comp Committee may designate or allocate all or any portion of its responsibilities and powers to a subcommittee consisting of one or more of its members.

Further discussion regarding the Nom-Comp Committee’s processes for setting executive compensation is set forth under “Executive Compensation — Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Committee Activities and Compensation paid to Named Executive Officers with Respect to 2019” and “Our Compensation Philosophy.”

Executive Sessions

At least twice a year, the independent directors meet in executive session.

Corporate Governance Guidelines and Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

Our Board has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines that address items such as the qualifications and responsibilities of directors and director candidates, as well as requirements for the committees for the Board.

In addition, our Board adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all of the directors, officers, and employees of Global Indemnity and its subsidiaries. A copy of our Corporate Governance Guidelines and Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is available on our website at www.global-indemnity.com. Within the time period specified, and to the extent required, by the SEC and the NASDAQ Listing Rules, we will post on our website any amendment to our Corporate Governance Guidelines and Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and any waiver applicable to our executive officers, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, or our Board. The Company’s Insider Trading Policy prohibits directors, officers, and employees from purchasing the Company’s securities on margin, from holding the Company’s securities in margin accounts, engaging in short sales, trading in any options, borrowing against any account in which the Company’s securities are held, or pledging the Company’s securities as collateral for a loan.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

General

The form and amount of non-employee director compensation is determined by the Board. Our directors that are also employees of the Company are not separately compensated for their service as directors. We believe that director compensation should not only be competitive within the insurance industry, but also fair and reasonable in light of our directors’ background and experiences, as well as the overall time, effort, and complexity involved in carrying out their responsibilities as directors.

To align the objectives of our directors and our shareholders, as well as to retain directors for an extended period, our non-employee directors receive annual retainers for serving on the Board and each committee payable in cash and in restricted Class A Common Shares. Until January 1, 2020, the annual retainers were apportioned between Global Indemnity Group, LLC and Global Indemnity Limited based upon the services rendered to our US insurance operations and our non-U.S. corporate operations, respectively. Effective January 1, 2020, the annual retainers were allocated between Global Indemnity Limited and GBLI Holdings, LLC, and since August 28, 2020 are allocated between Global Indemnity Group, LLC and GBLI Holdings, LLC. Until January 1, 2020, the number of restricted Class A Common Shares to be issued to a director under Global Indemnity Limited’s 2018 Share Incentive Plan, as amended on August, 28, 2020, (the “2018 Share Incentive Plan”), was determined by dividing the amount of compensation to be issued by the closing market price of our Class A Common Shares on NASDAQ on the last business day of the calendar quarter in which the compensation was earned. Effective January 1, 2020 the number of restricted Class A Common Shares to be issued to a director under the 2018 Share Incentive Plan is determined by dividing the amount of the remuneration earned for the calendar quarter divided by the per share value in respect of the calendar quarter. The per share value in respect of the calendar quarter equals (i) the volume weighted average closing price of our Class A Common Shares on NASDAQ over the calendar quarter during which the remuneration was earned, less (ii) dividends paid in such calendar quarter in respect of such number of Class A Common Shares.

The below restrictions on transfer, sale and disposition are designed to ensure that our directors maintain a long-term perspective when overseeing our operations. Further, the Company’s insider trading policy prohibits directors from purchasing the Company’s securities on margin and from holding the Company’ securities in margin accounts and prohibits directors from engaging in short sales of the Company’s securities or trading in any options (including, but not limited to, puts and calls) to buy or sell such securities.

All non-employee directors are eligible to receive reimbursement for their reasonable business related expenses and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in order to attend Board meetings, Board committee meetings, and other events requiring in-person attendance. Non-employee directors do not receive attendance fees for meetings.

Pre-2019

Until January 1, 2019, restricted Class A Common Shares issued to directors vested over a 24-month period. Restricted Class A Common Shares received may not be transferred, sold or otherwise disposed of unless and until (1) there is a change in control of Global Indemnity, (2) such director passes away, or (3) 24 months have elapsed since the date the director ceased to serve on the Board. Restricted Class A Common Shares are subject to forfeiture upon a director’s breach of confidentiality, or if, within 24 months following a director’s departure from the Board, the director becomes associated with a property and casualty company that, at the time of association or during the restriction period, competes with us.

2019

Effective January 1, 2019, while a member of the Board and until the completion of twelve calendar months after the director was no longer a member of the Board, a director was prohibited from trading Class A Common Shares or other Global Indemnity securities unless approved in writing in accordance with the Company’s Insider

Trading Policy (the “Liquidity Restrictions”). If prior to the lapse of these Liquidity Restrictions, a director directly or indirectly associated with or advised, whether as an employee, executive, director, or consultant, a Company Competitor, as defined below, the director was required to promptly return to the Company the value equivalent of all Gross-Up Shares and Gross-Up Cash, as defined below in Retainer and Fee Schedule, received by or credited to such director. Company Competitor meant (i) any company or group of affiliated companies with 10% or more of aggregate premium volume in one or more classes of business offered by the Company (the “Competitive Business”); or (ii) any company or group of affiliated companies with Competitive Business aggregate premiums equal to or exceeding $50 million, but the Competitive Business was less than 10% of that company’s or group of affiliated companies’ aggregate premiums; or (iii) any company or group of affiliated companies with Competitive Business aggregate premiums reasonably projected to equal or exceed $100 million over three years, but the Competitive Business was less than 10% of the company’s or group of affiliated companies’ aggregate premiums.

2020 to Present

Effective January 1, 2020, while a member of the Board and during the twelve calendar months immediately following the date a director ceases to be a member of the Board, a director may not hypothecate, sell or otherwise dispose of any Class A Common Shares, Global Indemnity share derivatives, or any other Global Indemnity (including its affiliates’) securities unless any such transaction is approved in advance in writing by the Chairperson of the Board, in his or her sole discretion. In addition, all trades (including, without limitation, any sale, hypothecation, other disposition, purchase or other acquisition) of any Global Indemnity Class A Common Shares, Global Indemnity share derivatives, of any other Global Indemnity (including its affiliates’) securities must comply with the Company’s Insider Trading Policy.

To protect the legitimate business interests of the Company and its subsidiaries, including their trade secrets, confidential information and existing and prospective client, broker and other valuable business relationships that form a substantial part of their goodwill, each director agrees that while serving as a director of the Company or its affiliates, he or she will not “Compete with the Companies” as described below. If a director violates this provision, as reasonably determined by the Company, then, in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity, such director shall promptly repay an amount equal to the total dollar value of all Gross-Up Shares and Gross-Up Cash, as defined below in the 2020 and 2021 sections of the Retainer and Fee Schedule, received by or credited to such director or former director since January 1, 2020 (the “Gross-Up Reimbursement”).

To further protect the aforementioned legitimate business interests, each director agrees that if, at any time during the twelve calendar months immediately following a director’s service on the Board, he or she Competes with the Companies, as reasonably determined by the Company, then, in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity, such former director shall promptly repay an amount equal to the Gross-Up Reimbursement. The Chairperson, in his or her sole discretion, may, upon the request of any current or former director, exempt from the obligation to repay the Gross-Up Reimbursement any activity or investment by such director that might otherwise be prohibited by the non-competition provisions if the Chairperson determines it is in the best interest of the Company to do so.

“Compete[s] with the Companies” means providing “Assistance” to a “Competitor.”

“Competitor” means any company, partnership, business association or group of affiliated companies, partnerships or business associations offering insurance products or services that are competitive with the insurance products or services being offered by the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates in any “Market” in which the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates are then offering such insurance products or services (a “Competitive Product”) and shall include, but not be limited to, any company, partnership, business association or group of affiliated companies, partnerships or business associations listed as a peer in the latest annual report of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Competitor shall not include any company or group of

affiliated companies that in the twelve (12) calendar months preceding the date the current or former director began providing Assistance, had (i) less than $50 million of aggregate gross insurance premiums; and (ii) out of such aggregate gross insurance premiums, less than 10% were generated from a Competitive Product.

“Market” means any of the following: (i) an area such as a country, state, region or subdivision thereof, (ii) a product market such as equine mortality, or (iii) an industry market such as the reinsurance market.

Providing “Assistance” to a Competitor, means either (i) directly or indirectly, assisting, aiding or advising a Competitor, whether as an employee, executive, director, consultant or otherwise; and/or (ii) owning, operating, or providing financing to, a Competitor. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, the following shall not constitute providing “Assistance”: (i) owning passive minority interests in publicly traded securities issued by Competitors; and/or (ii) assisting, aiding or advising a Competitor at the written request of, or with the approval of, the Chairperson, such permission to be given or withheld in his or her sole discretion.

Retainer and Fee Schedule

Pre-2019

Until January 1, 2019, each non-employee director was required to elect a percentage of their annual retainer to be paid in Restricted Class A Common Shares and a percentage of their annual retainer to be paid in cash. This election remained in effect and could be changed upon five days’ prior written notice by the non-employee director.

Non-employee directors who elected to receive 100% of their retainer for services rendered in Restricted Class A Common Shares had their compensation increased in cash to provide a gross-up for taxes. Those non-employee directors who did not elect to receive 100% of their retainer for Board services rendered in Restricted Class A Common Shares did not receive the additional cash payment and did not have their compensation grossed-up for taxes.

Until January 1, 2019, each current director elected to receive 100% of their retainer for services rendered in Restricted Class A Common Shares. The Company and Mr. Fox have agreed to defer the vesting of Mr. Fox’s Restricted Class A Common Shares granted for services rendered until the earlier of a change in control of the Company or January 1, 2024.

Until January 1, 2019, the amount of the annual retainer each non-employee director was eligible to receive for service in a fiscal year was: (1) $80,000 for the Chairman of the Board; (2) $37,500 for all non-employee directors (other than the Chairman of the Board); (3) an additional $8,500 for each continuous year served as a non-employee director (“Tenure Bonus”); (4) an additional $45,000 for the non-employee director who chairs the Audit Committee; (5) an additional $20,000 for non-employee directors who serve on the Audit Committee in a capacity other than Chairperson; (6) an additional $30,000 for the non-employee director who chairs the Investment Committee; (7) an additional $15,000 for non-employee directors who serve on the Investment Committee in a capacity other than Chairperson; (8) an additional $22,500 for the non-employee director who chairs the Compensation Committee; (9) an additional $11,250 for non-employee directors who serve on the Compensation Committee in a capacity other than Chairperson; (10) an additional $80,000 for the non-employee director who chairs the Executive Committee; (11) an additional $40,000 for non-employee directors who serve on the Executive Committee in a capacity other than Chairperson; (12) an additional $30,000 for the non-employee director who chairs the Enterprise Risk Committee; (13) an additional $15,000 for non-employee directors who serve on the Enterprise Risk Committee in a capacity other than Chairperson; (14) an additional $20,000 for the non-employee director who chairs the Nominating & Governance Committee; and (15) an additional $10,000 for the non-employee directors who serves on the Nominating & Governance Committee in a capacity other than Chairperson.

Until January 1, 2019, non-employee directors forfeited 12.5% of their yearly retainer and tenure bonus for each absence at an in-person meeting of the Board and forfeited $5,000 of their yearly retainer and tenure bonus for each non-participation in a telephonic meeting of the Board.

2019

In 2019, each non-employee director elected their annual remuneration to be paid either in Class A Common Shares or in cash. If the non-employee director elected to be paid in Class A Common Shares, the annual remuneration was grossed up based upon an assumed fifty percent (50%) combined federal and state income tax rate (“Gross-Up”). Each non-employee director may elect to receive the Gross-Up in either cash (“Gross-Up Cash”) or Class A Common Shares (“Gross-Up Shares”). Class A Common Shares received as annual remuneration, other than Gross-Up Shares, are fully vested as they are earned. Gross-Up Shares and Gross-Up Cash vest ratably over four (4) calendar quarters commencing March 31 of the calendar year immediately subsequent to the year in which the Gross-Up Shares or Gross-Up Cash were earned. Vesting of the Gross-Up Shares and Gross-Up Cash shall cease if a non-employee director is no longer a member of the Board. Gross-Up Shares and Gross-Up Cash credited to each non-employee director will be initially non-transferable other than to Global Indemnity or for estate planning purposes and, in each case, only if approved by the Chairman of the Board in his/her sole discretion.

In 2019, the amount of the annual retainer for each non-employee director was: (1) $175,000 for the Chairperson; (2) $50,000 for all non-employee directors (other than the Chairperson); (3) an additional $125,000 for the non-employee director who chairs the Audit Committee (4) an additional $50,000 for non-employee directors who serve on the Audit Committee in a capacity other than Chairperson; (5) an additional $125,000 for the non-employee director who chairs the Investment Committee; (6) an additional $25,000 for non-employee directors who serve on the Investment Committee in a capacity other than Chairperson; (7) an additional $75,000 for the non-employee director who chairs the Compensation & Benefits Committee; (8) an additional $25,000 for non-employee directors who serve on the Compensation & Benefits Committee in a capacity other than Chairperson; (9) an additional $150,000 for the non-employee director who chairs the Executive Committee; (10) an additional $50,000 for non-employee directors who serve on the Executive Committee in a capacity other than Chairperson; (11) an additional $125,000 for the non-employee director who chairs the Enterprise Risk Committee; (12) an additional $25,000 for non-employee directors who serve on the Enterprise Risk Committee in a capacity other than Chairperson; (13) an additional $75,000 for the non-employee director who chairs the Nominating and Governance Committee; (14) an additional $25,000 for the non-employee directors who serve on the Nominating and Governance Committee in a capacity other than Chairperson; (15) an additional $50,000 for the non-employee director who chairs the Technology Committee; and (16) an additional $25,000 for the non-employee directors who serve on the Technology Committee in a capacity other than Chairperson.

2020

In 2020, each non-employee director elected their annual remuneration to be paid either in fully vested Class A Common Shares or in cash. If the non-employee director elected to be paid in Class A Common Shares, then the non-employee director received “Gross-Up Amounts” equal to the amount of remuneration a non-employee director earned during the applicable calendar quarter. Each non-employee director could elect to receive the Gross-Up Amounts in cash, Class A Common Shares or a combination thereof. The amount of Class A Common Shares included as part of or all of any Gross-Up Amounts was equal the portion of the Gross-Up Amount for the calendar quarter divided by the per share value in respect of the calendar quarter as described in the “General” section above.

In 2020, the amount of the annual retainer for each non-employee director was: (1) $175,000 for the Chairperson; (2) $50,000 for all non-employee directors (other than the Chairperson); (3) an additional $150,000 for the non-employee director who chairs the Audit Committee; (4) an additional $50,000 for non-employee directors who serve on the Audit Committee in a capacity other than Chairperson; (5) an additional $175,000 for

the non-employee director who chairs the Investment Committee; (6) an additional $75,000 for non-employee directors that co-chair the Investment Committee; (7) an additional $25,000 for non-employee directors who serve on the Investment Committee in a capacity other than Chairperson or co-chair; (8) an additional $75,000 for the non-employee director who chairs the Compensation & Benefits Committee; (9) an additional $25,000 for non-employee directors who serve on the Compensation & Benefits Committee in a capacity other than Chairperson; (10) an additional $175,000 for the non-employee director who chairs the Executive Committee; (11) an additional $50,000 for non-employee directors who serve on the Executive Committee in a capacity other than Chairperson; (12) an additional $150,000 for the non-employee director who chairs the Enterprise Risk Committee; (13) an additional $25,000 for non-employee directors who serve on the Enterprise Risk Committee in a capacity other than Chairperson; (14) an additional $75,000 for the non-employee director who chairs the Nominating and Governance Committee; (15) an additional $25,000 for the non-employee directors who serve on the Nominating and Governance Committee in a capacity other than Chairperson; (16) an additional $75,000 for the non-employee director who chairs the Technology Committee; and (17) an additional $25,000 for the non-employee directors who serve on the Technology Committee in a capacity other than Chairperson.

In our discretion, we determined to grant Mr. Hurwitz an additional $2,000,0000 of remuneration for services rendered in relation to the Redomestication. This remuneration includes a $1,000,000 cash payment and a $1,000,000 payment in restricted stock units representing a contingent right to receive Class A Common Shares. The restricted stock units were granted on September 15, 2020 and vest ratably over three years on January 1, 2022, January 1, 2023, and January 1, 2024, subject to Mr. Hurwitz remaining a director or employee through the applicable vesting date. The restricted stock units vest immediately upon Mr. Hurwitz’s death or a change in control of the Company

2021

Effective January 1, 2021, each non-employee director elects their annual remuneration to be paid either in fully vested Class A Common Shares or in cash. If the non-employee director elects to be paid in Class A Common Shares, then the non-employee director receives “Gross-Up Amounts” equal to 37% of the amount of remuneration a non-employee director earned during the applicable calendar quarter. Each non-employee director may elect to receive the Gross-Up Amounts in cash, Class A Common Shares or a combination thereof. The amount of Class A Common Shares included as part of or all of any Gross-Up Amounts is equal the portion of the Gross-Up Amount for the calendar quarter divided by the per share value in respect of the calendar quarter as described in the “General” section above.

Effective January 1, 2021, the amount of the annual retainer for each non-employee director is: (1) $50,000 for all non-employee directors; (2) an additional $150,000 for the Chairperson; (3) an additional $150,000 for the non-employee director who chairs the Audit Committee; (4) an additional $25,000 for non-employee directors who serve on the Audit Committee in a capacity other than Chairperson; (5) an additional $50,000 for the non-employee director who chairs the Conflicts Committee; (6) an additional $25,000 for the non-employee directors who serve on the Conflicts Committee in a capacity other than Chairperson; (7) an additional $150,000 for the non-employee director who chairs the Investment Committee; (8) an additional $150,000 for non-employee directors that co-chair the Investment Committee; (9) an additional $25,000 for non-employee directors who serve on the Investment Committee in a capacity other than Chairperson or co-chair; (10) an additional $75,000 for the non-employee director who chairs the Nomination, Compensation, & Governance Committee; (11) an additional $25,000 for non-employee directors who serve on the Nomination, Compensation, & Governance Committee in a capacity other than Chairperson; (12) an additional $150,000 for the non-employee director who chairs the Executive Committee; (13) an additional $50,000 for non-employee directors who serve on the Executive Committee in a capacity other than Chairperson; (14) an additional $150,000 for the non-employee director who chairs the Enterprise Risk Committee; (15) an additional $25,000 for non-employee directors who serve on the Enterprise Risk Committee in a capacity other than Chairperson; (16) an additional $75,000 for the non-employee director who chairs the Technology Committee; and (17) an additional $25,000 for the non-employee directors who serve on the Technology Committee in a capacity other than Chairperson.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Introduction

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis focuses on the compensation of the executive officers listed in the Summary Compensation Table that follows (our “named executive officers”). Our named executive officers for 2020 were:

•

Cynthia Y. Valko, Retired Chief Executive Officer, Global Indemnity Group, LLC;

•

Jonathan E. Oltman, President – Insurance Operations;

•

Thomas M. McGeehan, Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President — Finance, Global Indemnity Group, LLC;

•

Thomas P. Gibbons, Executive Vice President & Chief Actuary;

•

Stanley K. Lam, Senior Vice President – Penn-America; and

•

David C. Elliott, Senior Vice President – Claims.

The following is a discussion of our objectives and philosophies regarding executive officer compensation, as well as the actions taken in 2020 and the compensation awarded to, earned by, or paid to our named executive officers with respect to 2020 performance. David S. Charlton was appointed Chief Executive – Insurance Operations on April 19, 2021 and did not receive any compensation from Global Indemnity in 2020, and so is omitted from the following discussion.

Committee Activities and Compensation Paid to Named Executive Officers With Respect to 2020

The Nom-Comp Committee’s predecessor Compensation Committee met two times in 2020. Actions included approving the executive officers’ 2020 salaries, bonus incentive opportunities, and Cynthia Y. Valko’s 2020 Chief Executive Agreement (as defined below). The Nom-Comp Committee, the Nom-Comp Committee predecessor Compensation Committee or the Board, after consulting with our Chief Executive Officer (except with respect to matters relating to the Chief Executive Officer), has approved the compensation and the employment agreements and arrangements for all of our named executive officers. Following the fiscal year, the Nom-Comp Committee also typically conducts an annual review of the performance of our named executive officers and did so in early 2021 with respect to performance for 2020.

The Nom-Comp Committee approves all grants of equity compensation to our named executive officers and determines the size of the grants as it deems appropriate to achieve the goals as described below and establishes the time or times at which equity will be awarded.

Our Compensation Philosophy

Our primary goals in structuring compensation opportunities for our named executive officers are: (1) fostering achievement of corporate performance objectives; (2) recognizing executives’ contributions to corporate success; and (3) attracting and retaining quality professionals. We apply a consistent compensation philosophy for all named executive officers. This philosophy is based on the premise that our achievements result from the coordinated efforts of all employees, including our named executive officers, working toward our business objectives. The Nom-Comp Committee designed and refines the executive compensation program to support the overall objective of maximizing long-term shareholder value by aligning the interests of executives with the interests of shareholders and by rewarding executives for achieving corporate and individual objectives.

We have entered into employment agreements or arrangements with certain of our named executive officers, as described in more detail below following the Summary Compensation Table. These agreements and arrangements are important to the future of our business because our success depends, in significant part, upon the individual employees who represent us in dealings with our producers and the investment community, execute our business strategy, and identify and pursue strategic opportunities and initiatives. We believe that such agreements and arrangements are helpful in providing our executives with comfort regarding their duties and compensation. For certain executives, our employment agreement and arrangements contain restrictive covenants with respect to competitive activity, non-solicitation, and confidentiality during and following the executive’s employment with us. These covenants are particularly important in protecting our interests in what is an intensely competitive industry in which leveraging the personal relationships of our executives is critical to our success. The employment agreements and arrangements also dictate the level and extent to which the executives receive post-termination compensation.

Generally, we structure our total compensation packages for our named executive officers to be competitive with respect to compensation paid by our peer companies to their executives. Three industry compensation surveys were used in 2020 that were not specifically prepared for us. The following companies participated in those surveys: Acuity, American International Group, Inc., AIPSO, American Modern Insurance Group, American National Insurance Company, Amerisure Insurance, Ameriprise Insurance Company, AmTrust Financial Services, Arbella Insurance Group, Argo Group US, Inc., Aspen Insurance Holdings, Ltd., CIT Group, Inc., Citizens Property Insurance Corporation, CUNA, Employers Mutual Casualty Company, Everest Reinsurance Company, FBL Financial Group, Inc., FCCI Insurance Group, Fifth Third Bank, First Insurance Company of Hawaii, Frankenmuth Mutual Insurance Company, GE Capital, General Reinsurance Corporation, Great American Insurance Group, GuideOne Insurance, Hagerty Management LLC, Heritage Insurance, Hiscox, Hudson Insurance Group, ICW Group, Island Insurance Company, James River Group Holdings, Ltd., Kemper, Main Street America Group, Mapfre, Mercury Insurance, MetLife Property and Casualty Insurance Company, Nodak Mutual Insurance Company, OdysseyRe, OneBeacon Insurance Group, Ltd., Pekin Insurance Company, Philadelphia Insurance Companies, Plymouth Rock Assurance Corporation, PMA Companies, ProAssurance, ProSight Global Inc., Risk Administration Services, RiverStone Resources, LLC, RLI Corporation, The Main Street America Group, Tokio Marine HCC, Transatlantic Re, Universal North America, Utica National Insurance Group, Verisk Analytics, Westfield Insurance, Workers’ Compensation Rating & Inspection Bureau of Massachusetts, Zenith National Insurance Corporation (collectively the “Peer Group”). We believe that use of such peer and competitor comparison provides a suitable basis for addressing and balancing between the competitive nature of our business and the attendant need to recruit and retain talented executives by providing competitive compensation against the Compensation Committee’s strong desire to ensure that our executives do not receive excessive compensation in relation to their peers or disproportionate to their contributions to our long-term success and shareholder value. However, we do not target any specific percentile in relation to such Peer Group with respect to any element of executive compensation. We believe that our emphasis on performance and shareholder return with a long-term perspective may result in compensation opportunities that differentiate our practices from those of our peers. In short, our compensation program has been structured so that our executives will be well compensated if, and only if, they create value for our shareholders over a period of several years.

Key Elements of Compensation

We use two primary components of executive compensation to satisfy our compensation objectives: base salary, which is provided to recognize our executive officers’ day-to-day contributions, and performance-based incentive opportunities that include both a long-term equity incentive component payable in equity awards and annual bonus incentives payable in cash. The Compensation Committee uses base salary to compensate executives at salary levels that are competitive with and comparable to the levels used by other companies within our Peer Group, but does not target any specific percentiles.

Our performance-based incentive opportunities generally are designed to motivate executives to focus on the performance of the division, subsidiary, or unit for which they have primary responsibility. In the first quarter of each year, our Nom-Comp Committee establishes the performance objectives that must be met during the applicable performance period for a named executive officer to earn the incentive compensation. These performance objectives reflect each executive’s responsibilities and a day-to-day emphasis on generating profits. If the incentive bonuses are earned, a portion will be paid in cash and the remaining portion in equity or equity-like awards, such as Class A Common Shares subject to restricted sock units (“RSUs”) or book value appreciation rights. The Nom-Comp Committee uses performance-based incentive opportunities to compensate and incentivize executives at levels that are competitive with and comparable to the levels used by other companies within our Peer Group, but does not target any specific percentiles.

We pay out a portion of these incentive opportunities in the form of equity or equity-like awards because we believe that short-term results do not, by themselves, accurately reflect the performance of a company in our industry or the return realized by our shareholders. These equity or equity-like awards generally vest pro rata over three or four years as described below, and unless otherwise indicated in the applicable employment agreement or arrangement, vesting is subject to continued employment or Board discretion. Equity or equity-like awards are an important component of our compensation policies and are designed to motivate recipients to act from the perspective of a long-term owner. We believe that providing our named executive officers with equity or equity-like ownership: (1) serves to align the interests of our named executive officers with shareholders by creating a direct link between compensation and long-term shareholder return, (2) creates a significant, long-term interest in our success and (3) aids in the retention of key executive officers in a competitive market for executive talent. We further believe that the allocation between cash and equity or equity-like awards with respect to the annual bonuses earned provides both an incentive for the named executive officer to continue to perform at a high level and to reward the named executive officer for their performance during an applicable performance period. All equity grants to our named executive officers are made under our current share incentive plan.

From time to time, we may grant additional equity or equity-like awards or other forms of compensation, such as in connection with an executive officer’s hire or promotion. With respect to new hire or promotion equity or equity-like awards, in order to promote our goals of attracting and retaining talented executives, the awards usually vest over certain periods of time subject to continued employment in good standing, with vesting contingent in certain instances on the attainment of performance goals as described above. Equity or equity-like awards that are made upon an executive’s commencement of employment may also be contingent on the executive’s purchase of restricted stock to ensure that the executive is a shareholder with a significant personal investment in Global Indemnity.

As described below under “Employment Agreements,” Ms. Valko received options to acquire our Class A Common Shares in connection with the commencement of her employment and the entering into of new employment agreements in 2014, 2018, and 2020. Ms. Valko retired in January 2021 and certain of those options that were unvested and contingent on her continued employment were forfeited.

As described below under “Employment Agreements,” Mr. Oltman received options to acquire our Class A Common Shares in connection with commencement of his role as President of our Insurance Operations.

Base Salary

The Nom-Comp Committee uses base salary to compensate executives at salary levels that are competitive with and comparable to the levels used by other companies within our Peer Group, but does not target any specific percentiles. The Nom-Comp Committee reviews base salaries on an annual basis to determine whether such salaries remain competitive relative to the Peer Group, and whether any adjustments would be appropriate based on other relevant factors. Base salaries for our named executive officers were initially set in the executives’ employment agreements or arrangements with us and have been increased in subsequent years in connection with merit increases, which generally relate to individual past performance, enhanced professional responsibilities and the review of Peer Group compensation. In setting the chief executive’s base salary and in evaluating the chief

executive’s recommendations for the base salaries of the other named executive officers, the Nom-Comp Committee generally weighs a variety of factors, including individual past performance, potential for future successful performance with us, level and scope of responsibility and relative fairness among our executive officers. The Nom-Comp Committee’s predecessor committee reviewed and approved executive base salaries in February 2020. In December 2020, the Nom-Comp Committee’s predecessor committee approved Ms. Valko’s December 10, 2020 Chief Executive Agreement (“2020 Chief Executive Agreement”), which increased her base salary to $900,000. In January 2021, the Nom-Comp Committee approved an agreement with Mr. Oltman (“Terms of Employment”), which increased his base salary to $650,000 and in April 2021, the Nom-Comp Committee approved an agreement with Mr. Charlton, which set his base salary at $1,000,000.

Incentive Opportunities

For 2020, Ms. Valko was provided an opportunity to earn cash bonuses based on the criteria in “Target Incentives Under Employment Agreements” below. Our other named executive officers were provided an opportunity to earn cash and equity bonuses based on the criteria set forth in the following table:


Named Executive Officer	Performance Criteria for Cash Bonus	Performance Criteria for Equity Bonus
Jonathan E. Oltman	Combined ratio and gross written premiums of our Commercial Specialty Operations	Global Indemnity’s overall combined ratio
Thomas M. McGeehan	Global Indemnity’s overall combined ratio and gross written premiums, expense management and service quality provided by our support services
Thomas P. Gibbons.	Global Indemnity’s overall combined ratio and gross written premiums, expense management and service quality provided by our support services
Stanley K. Lam	Combined ratio and gross written premiums of our Commercial Specialty Operations
David C. Elliott	Global Indemnity’s overall combined ratio and gross written premiums, expense management and service quality provided by our support services

As described below, the amounts of the annual bonuses payable to our named executive officers are dependent, in large measure, on our performance in relation to performance targets. The extent to which actual performance exceeds or falls short of target performance directly results in a corresponding increase or decrease in the bonus amounts payable.

The criteria for our annual bonus incentives for 2020 related to certain objective performance goals that included gross written premium, the combined ratio, expense management, and support services provided as well as individual performance expectations. Gross written premiums is a financial measurement that is generally viewed in the insurance industry as an indicator of revenue and growth. The combined ratio is the ratio of the sum of losses, acquisition costs and other underwriting expenses to net premiums earned. The combined ratio is a financial measure that is generally viewed in the insurance industry as an indicator of underwriting profitability. Generally a lower combined ratio equates to greater profitability.

Target Incentives Under Employment Agreements

Under the March 6, 2018 Chief Executive Agreement with Ms. Valko (the “2018 Employment Agreement”), Ms. Valko was eligible to receive a cash Return on Equity Bonus of up to $600,000 for each fiscal year of the 2018 Employment Agreement that Ms. Valko served as the Chief Executive Officer (the “ROE Bonus”). Ms. Valko was eligible to receive a preliminary ROE Bonus (the “Preliminary ROE Bonus”) for each such fiscal

year if Global Indemnity’s return on equity percentage for such fiscal year exceeded 85% of the targeted return on equity percentage (as established by the Nom-Comp Committee) for such fiscal year. As described in further detail in the 2018 Employment Agreement that previously was filed with the SEC, return on equity was determined as the Company’s consolidated pre-tax income on a GAAP basis, adjusted to include all premiums, underwriting losses, and underwriting expenses in respect of insurance policies issued in the applicable year. Further, it excluded contribution to income of certain excess capital (generally, the Company’s book value that is unnecessary to maintain the Company’s AM Best’s ‘A’ rating), certain investment portfolio realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, certain fees and expenses paid or incurred with respect to Fox Paine & Company, LLC and certain Board fees to the extent they exceed $1.5 million for the year. The Nom-Comp Committee determined that return on equity would be an appropriate performance criteria for the Chief Executive Officer because it is an important measure indicative of the Company’s business success. If Ms. Valko was still employed and in good standing through the date of payment she would receive 50% of the Preliminary ROE Bonus, payable no later than April 1 of the calendar year immediately following the year to which such Preliminary ROE Bonus related. Global Indemnity would retain the remaining 50% unpaid balance of the Preliminary ROE Bonus, which would be paid to Ms. Valko within 90 days after the end of the third full calendar year following a Bonus Year (as defined in the 2018 Employment Agreement), regardless of Ms. Valko’s then-current employment status with the Company, but subject to adjustment based on an actuarial assessment of incurred but not reported underwriting losses and loss adjustment expenses and actual underwriting losses and loss adjustment expenses.

Additionally, under the 2018 Employment Agreement, Ms. Valko was eligible to receive an annual cash Performance Incentive Bonus of up to $200,000, based on an assessment of her performance during the Bonus Year (as defined by the 2018 Employment Agreement) by the Nom-Comp Committee, in its sole discretion, based upon the assessment of the Company’s Chairman of the Board, in his sole discretion.

Under the 2020 Chief Executive Agreement, Ms. Valko was eligible to receive an annual cash bonus opportunity of between $875,000 to $1,400,000 (“Valko Cash Bonus Opportunity”). $675,000 to $1,200,000 of the Valko Cash Bonus Opportunity was based on the achievement of certain underwriting results for each calendar year of the 2020 Chief Executive Agreement as determined by the Board, and was subject to true-up. $200,000 of the Valko Cash Bonus Opportunity was based on an assessment by the Nom-Comp Committee of Ms. Valko’s performance during each calendar year of the 2020 Chief Executive Agreement in respect of certain Board objectives as may have been determined from time to time.

Under the Terms of Employment, Mr. Oltman has an annual bonus opportunity of between $487,500 and $812,500 (“Oltman Bonus Opportunity”), payable based on the achievement of certain underwriting results, as determined by the Board, for each year of Mr. Oltman’s term, with 50% of the Oltman Bonus Opportunity payable in cash in the subsequent calendar year and 50% payable in Class A Common Shares following a true-up of underwriting results for the applicable year in the fourth calendar year following the applicable bonus award.

Under his employment agreement, Mr. McGeehan is eligible to receive a cash and equity bonus award under criteria developed annually by the Board and Compensation Committee. Messrs. Oltman, Gibbons, Lam, and Elliott are or were during 2020 at-will employees. Messrs. Oltman’s and Lam’s bonus target for 2020 were the same as the targets developed for our Commercial Specialty Operations for 2020. Messrs. Gibbon’s and Elliott’s bonus targets for 2020 were the same as the targets developed for our support services for 2020.

For each performance criteria with respect to the cash bonus opportunities for Messrs. McGeehan, Oltman, Gibbons, Lam and Elliott, actual performance results between the specified goal ranges are subject to interpolation and adjustment outside of the ranges based on individual performance as assessed by the Nom-Comp Committee.

Performance Results

Ms. Valko did not qualify for a cash ROE bonus because the Company’s return on equity percentage for 2020 was -7.6% and thus did not exceed 85% of the targeted 4.8% return on equity. Ms. Valko did not qualify for a cash Performance Incentive Bonus as she retired in January 2021.

Mr. Oltman did not qualify for a cash bonus as our Commercial Specialty Operations did not meet its minimum gross written premium or combined ratio goals.

While Global Indemnity did not meet its combined ratio minimum goals, Messrs. McGeehan, Gibbons, and Elliott received a cash bonus based on gross written premiums of $606.6 million for Global Indemnity, expense management and service quality goals being met, and individual performance criteria not measured by gross written premiums, combined ratio, expense management, or service quality.

While our Commercial Specialty Operations did not meet its minimum gross written premium or combined ratio goals, Mr. Lam received a cash bonus based on individual performance criteria not measured by gross written premiums or combined ratio.

The following table sets forth the amount of cash bonus paid to each of our named executive officers on March 12, 2021, for 2020 performance:


Named Executive Officer	2020 Cash Bonus Amount Earned
Cynthia Y. Valko	$	0
Jonathan E. Oltman	$	0
Thomas M. McGeehan	$	175,000
Thomas P. Gibbons.	$	110,000
Stanley K. Lam	$	55,000
David C. Elliott	$	100,000

Equity Bonus Opportunity

Performance Objectives and Target Equity Bonuses

Ms. Valko was not eligible for an equity bonus.

Messrs. Oltman, McGeehan, Gibbons, Lam and Elliott were eligible for an equity bonus with the same ranges and targets discussed in “Cash Bonus Opportunity” above if Global Indemnity’s combined ratio in 2020 was 95.3% or less.

Performance Results

Messrs. Oltman, McGeehan, Gibbons, Lam, and Elliott did not qualify for an equity bonus as Global Indemnity did not meet its minimum combined ratio goal.

Other Equity Awards

Ms. Valko will be granted 300,000 fully vested and exercisable options to acquire Class A Common Shares (“Tranche 5 Options”) on September 20, 2021, regardless of whether Ms. Valko is employed by the Company. Tranche 5 Options shall have an exercise price equal to the greater of $17.87 and the closing per-share price of the Class A Common Shares on the date of grant.

Ms. Valko received options (“Tranche 4 Options”) on December 10, 2020 to buy Class A Common Shares. 100,000 of the Tranche 4 Options had an exercise price equal to the greater of the book value per share of the Class A Common Shares on December 31, 2020 and the closing per-share price of the Class A Common Shares on the last NASDAQ trading day prior to the effective date of the 2020 Chief Executive Agreement (“Tranche 4-I Options”). 100,000 of the Tranche 4 Options had an exercise price equal to the exercise price of the Tranche 4-I Options, plus $3.09 (“Tranche 4-II Options”). 100,000 of the Tranche 4 Options had an exercise price equal to the exercise price of the Tranche 4-II Options, plus $3.33 (“Tranche 4-III Options”). Tranche 4-I Options were to vest on the earlier of April 1, 2022 or the date a party that is not affiliated with Fox Paine & Company, LLC or Saul A. Fox acquires 50% or more of the Company’s voting shares (a “Change in Control”). Tranche 4-II Options were to vest on the earlier of April 1, 2023 or a Change in Control. Tranche 4-III Options were to vest on the earlier of April 1, 2024 or a Change in Control. Vesting was contingent upon Ms. Valko being a Company employee in good standing as of the applicable vesting date. The Tranche 4 Options were forfeited upon Ms. Valko’s retirement.

Ms. Valko received options (“Tranche 3 Options”) on March 6, 2018 to buy 300,000 Class A Common Shares with an exercise price of $50.00 per share. 100,000 Tranche 3 Options vested on December 31 of each of 2018, 2019 and 2020, if Ms. Valko remained employed and in good standing as of such date. Tranche 3 Options originally expired on the earlier of December 31, 2027 and 90 calendar days after Ms. Valko was neither employed by Global Indemnity nor a member of the Board, but per the terms of the Valko Separation Agreement (as defined below), the Tranche 3 Options cease being exercisable 24 months after Ms. Valko’s retirement. 100,000 of the Tranche 3 Options vested on December 31, 2018 and are exercisable, 100,000 of the Tranche 3 Options vested on December 31, 2019 and are exercisable, and 100,000 of the Tranche 3 options vested on December 31, 2020 and are exercisable.

In 2014, Ms. Valko was granted options to buy 300,000 Class A Common Shares (“Tranche 2 Options”). The Tranche 2 Options vested on December 31 of each of 2018, 2019 and 2020 in an amount based on the Company’s attainment of return on equity criteria in her 2018 Employment Agreement. 100,000 of Ms. Valko’s Tranche 2 Options failed to vest on December 31, 2018 and were forfeited as the return on equity criteria in her 2018 Employment Agreement was not met. 100,000 of Ms. Valko’s Tranche 2 Options vested on December 31, 2019 based on achievement of return on equity of 5.5%, which exceeded the targeted 5.1% return on equity, and are subject to true-up of the return on equity. 100,000 of Ms. Valko’s Tranche 2 Options failed to vest on December 31, 2020 and were forfeited as the return on equity criteria in her 2018 Employment Agreement were not met.

Mr. Oltman received options on January 19, 2021 to buy 140,000 Class A Common Shares with an exercise price of $28.70. One-third of the options will vest on April 1 of each of 2022, 2023, and 2024, subject to the achievement of certain underwriting results for the applicable year as determined by the Board and Mr. Oltman being a Company employee in good standing as of the applicable vesting date. Mr. Oltman received 26,507 RSUs on June 18, 2019. The RSUs vest 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% on June 18 of each of 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024, in each case subject to continued service to us through each applicable vesting date.

Mr. Gibbons received 19,181 RSUs on February 9, 2020. The RSUs vest 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% on June 18 of each of 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024, in each case subject to continued service to us through each applicable vesting date.

Mr. Lam received 15,738 RSUs on June 18, 2019. The RSUs vest 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% on June 18 of each of 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024, in each case subject to continued service to us through each applicable vesting date.

Mr. Elliott received 17,007 RSUs February 9, 2020. The RSUs vest 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% on June 18 of each of 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024, in each case subject to continued service to us through each applicable vesting date.

The Nom-Comp Committee believes that the targets it sets annually for cash and equity bonuses are challenging but within reach for a talented executive team. The Nom-Comp Committee is also empowered to exercise negative discretion and reduce the bonuses otherwise payable to any of our employees if the Nom-Comp Committee determines that particular corporate results were achieved without significant personal contributions by the particular employee. In addition, certain awards are subject to re-measurements at the conclusion of applicable performance periods, which may result in forfeiture of the awards or a portion thereof. The Nom-Comp Committee may also claw back bonuses if our financial statements are restated.

Other Considerations

Equity Ownership Generally

We have adopted certain policies with respect to equity compensation, all of which apply to our named executive officers, such as policies regarding insider trading which prohibit trading during periods immediately preceding the release of material non-public information. We also permit our named executive officers to establish Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, subject to the prior approval of our in-house legal department.

We expect our named executive officers to maintain a significant personal ownership stake in our company. While we have not established share ownership guidelines, other than those in Ms. Valko’s 2018 Employment Agreement, that are applicable to every executive, as noted above, equity awards that are made upon an executive’s commencement of employment are also often contingent on the executive’s purchase of restricted stock, and we may consider adopting such guidelines in the future. The Company’s insider trading policy prohibits officers and employees from purchasing the Company’s securities on margin and from holding the Company’ securities in margin accounts and prohibits officers and directors from engaging in short sales of the Company’s securities or trading in any options (including, but not limited to, puts and calls) to buy or sell such securities. Under the 2018 Employment Agreement, Ms. Valko was restricted from selling any Class A Common Shares unless Ms. Valko retained (x) vested Global Indemnity stock options and shares having an aggregate value of at least equal to the lesser of (i) $5,000,000 or (ii) $5,000,000 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the volume weighted trading price of Global Indemnity’s shares for the 30-day period ending on the relevant measurement date and the denominator of which is $50, and (y) at least 75% of the Global Indemnity options and restricted shares granted to her. Ms. Valko was required to provide Global Indemnity’s Chairman of the Board with advance notice, and receive approval of, any proposed sale.

Other Benefits

Our named executive officers are entitled to participate in the various benefits made available to our employees generally, including retirement plans, group health plans, paid vacation and sick leave, basic life insurance, and short-term and long-term disability benefits. Furthermore, all of our and our subsidiaries’ directors and officers are covered by our directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.

Post-Employment Benefits, Severance and Change in Control Policy

The post-employment benefits available to our named executive officers are subject to the terms of the executives’ employment agreements and arrangements. Our named executive officers are not provided with a supplemental retirement benefit plan or other pension beyond that of our 401(k) plan and matching contributions available to all of our participating employees.

The Nom-Comp Committee and our Board approve appropriate severance policies for each executive officer designed to (1) compensate an executive who is involuntarily separated from us for reasons other than for “cause” and (2) compensate the executive to the extent the executive is subject to a post-termination non-compete agreement.

We have adopted a limited change in control policy designed to incentivize our executive officers to pursue transactions which benefit our shareholders. The entitlement to accelerated vesting of restricted shares and options in the event that we undergo a change in control varies from executive officer to executive officer. For details regarding the potential for accelerated vesting of restricted shares, RSUs, BVARs (as defined below under “Employment Agreements”), and options, see the descriptions below under “Employment Agreements.” For additional details of the consequences of termination or change in control to the named executive officers, please see the disclosure related to the named executive officers under “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” below.

Impact of Accounting, Tax and Legal Considerations

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) limits the deductibility of compensation paid to our Chief Executive Officer and other “covered employees” as defined in Section 162(m) of the Code. Covered employees generally include (among others) all of the executive officers shown in the Summary Compensation Table in this proxy statement and may include any future executive officers shown in any Summary Compensation Table in any of our future proxy statements. No tax deduction is allowed for compensation paid to any covered employee to the extent that the total compensation for that executive exceeds $1,000,000 in any taxable year.

We also take into account Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code when structuring compensation. These two sections relate to the imposition of excise taxes on executives who receive, and the loss of deductibility for employers who pay, “excess parachute payments” made in connection with a change in control. We often structure our compensation opportunities in a manner that helps reduce the impact of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code.

Say-on-Pay and Say-on-Frequency

The Nom-Comp Committee has considered the result of the 2020 advisory, non-binding “say-on-pay” vote in connection with the discharge of its responsibilities. Over 99% of the votes cast approved the compensation of our named executive officers described in our proxy statement in 2020. As the level of support received by our stockholders was high, the Nom-Comp Committee decided not to make any material changes to our executive compensation programs.

In light of the voting results with respect to the frequency of shareholder votes on named executive officer compensation at the 2017 Annual Meeting in which a substantial majority of our shareholders voted for “say-on-pay” proposals to occur every three years, the Board decided that it currently intends to hold, in accordance with the results of such vote, a triennial advisory vote on the compensation of named executive officers until the next required vote on the frequency of shareholder votes on named executive officer compensation. The next advisory, non-binding “say-on-pay” vote is expected at the 2023 Annual Meeting.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

The Nom-Comp Committee has reviewed and discussed the foregoing Compensation Discussion and Analysis with management. Based on its review and discussion with management, the Nom-Comp Committee recommended to our Board that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Proxy Statement and incorporated by reference into our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

Employment Agreements and Arrangements

David S. Charlton

In 2020, Mr. Charlton was not employed by Global Indemnity and did not have an executive employment agreement or arrangement.

On April 19, 2021, the Company, Penn-Patriot Insurance Company (“Penn-Patriot”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Mr. Charlton executed a Chief Executive Agreement (the “CEO Agreement”), which provides for an employment term from April 19, 2021 through December 31, 2026.

The CEO Agreement provides for an annual base salary of $1,000,000 (“Base Salary”) and an annual target bonus opportunity of $1,000,000 (the “Bonus Opportunity”), payable based on the achievement of certain underwriting results, as determined by the Board, for each year of Mr. Charlton’s term as Chief Executive, with half of any earned Bonus Opportunity payable in the subsequent calendar year and an additional amount payable following a true-up of underwriting results for the applicable year in the fourth calendar year following the applicable year.

The CEO Agreement provides for a grant of 2,000,000 Penn-Patriot book value appreciation rights (the “BVARs”) with an aggregate initial notional value equal to approximately 4% of Penn-Patriot’s book value, which entitle Mr. Charlton to a payment based on the value of the per-BVAR appreciation in Penn-Patriot’s book value over the initial notional value, calculated in accordance with the CEO Agreement. The BVARs will vest by December 31, 2026, subject to the achievement of certain performance goals and Mr. Charlton’s continued employment as of the vesting date, with half of the applicable appreciation value of the BVARs payable on April 1, 2027 and an additional amount payable on April 1, 2030 following a true-up of underwriting results for the applicable performance period. The BVARs will vest in full in the event of a “change in control” of Penn-Patriot (as defined in the CEO Agreement) and a specified portion may vest in the event Mr. Charlton is terminated by Penn-Patriot without cause.

The CEO Agreement provides that Penn-Patriot may terminate Mr. Charlton’s employment at any time for any reason. In the event of Mr. Charlton’s termination by Penn-Patriot, other than in respect of a “Cause Event” (as defined in the CEO Agreement), Mr. Charlton will receive as severance an aggregate amount equal to the lesser of (i) one month of Base Salary for each 12 months of employment and (ii) the Base Salary otherwise payable between the termination date and December 31, 2026 (such Base Salary payments, the “Severance Amount”). Payment of the Severance Amount is contingent upon compliance with the terms in the CEO Agreement, including Mr. Charlton’s executing a general release of claims in favor of the Company, Penn-Patriot and other specified parties.

The CEO Agreement includes perpetual confidentiality and mutual non-disparagement provisions, and two-year post-termination non-competition, customer non-solicitation, and employee non-solicitation and non-hire provisions.

Cynthia Y. Valko

On December 10, 2020, we entered into the 2020 Chief Executive Agreement with Ms. Valko, which replaced the 2018 Employment Agreement. The 2020 Chief Executive Agreement provided for an employment term of three years, from January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2023.

Under the 2020 Chief Executive Agreement, Ms. Valko was eligible to receive an annual cash bonus opportunity of between $875,000 to $1,400,000. $675,000 to $1,200,000 of the Valko Cash Bonus Opportunity

was based on the achievement of certain underwriting results for each calendar year of the 2020 Chief Executive Agreement as determined by the Board, and was subject to true-up. $200,000 of the Valko Cash Bonus Opportunity was based on an assessment by the Nom-Comp Committee of Ms. Valko’s performance during each calendar year of the 2020 Chief Executive Agreement in respect of certain Board objectives as may have been determined from time to time.

The 2020 Chief Executive Agreement provides that the Company will grant 300,000 fully vested and exercisable options to acquire Class A Common Shares (“Tranche 5 Options”) on September 20, 2021, regardless of whether Ms. Valko is employed by the Company. Tranche 5 Options shall have an exercise price equal to the greater of $17.87 and the closing per-share price of the Class A Common Shares on the date of grant.

Ms. Valko received options (“Tranche 4 Options”) on December 10, 2020 to buy Class A Common Shares. 100,000 of the Tranche 4 Options had an exercise price equal to the greater of the book value per share of the Company’s Class A Common Shares on December 31, 2020 and the closing per-share price of the Company’s Class A Common Shares on the last NASDAQ trading day prior to the effective date of the 2020 Chief Executive Agreement (“Tranche 4-I Options”). 100,000 of the Tranche 4 Options had an exercise price equal to the exercise price of the Tranche 4-I Options, plus $3.09 (“Tranche 4-II Options”). 100,000 of the Tranche 4 Options had an exercise price equal to the exercise price of the Tranche 4-II Options, plus $3.33 (“Tranche 4-III Options”). Tranche 4-I Options were to vest on the earlier of April 1, 2022 or a Change in Control. Tranche 4-II Options were to vest on the earlier of April 1, 2023 or a Change in Control. Tranche 4-III Options were to vest on the earlier of April 1, 2024 or a Change in Control. Vesting was contingent upon Ms. Valko being a Company employee in good standing as of the applicable vesting date. The Tranche 4 Options were forfeited upon Ms. Valko’s retirement.

In connection with Ms. Valko’s retirement, we entered into a separation agreement with Ms. Valko (the “Valko Separation Agreement”). The Valko Separation Agreement provides for (a) a severance payment of $675,000 to be paid ratably through December 2021, (b) preservation of all vested stock options held by Ms. Valko as of the date of her retirement to remain exercisable until the earlier of (i) 24 months from the date of Ms. Valko’s retirement or (ii) the expiration date of the applicable option, (c) forfeiture or continued vesting, as applicable, of unvested stock options held by Ms. Valko in accordance with their terms, with any such options that vest remaining exercisable for a period 24 to 38 months from the date of Ms. Valko’s retirement depending upon the vesting date, (d) the grant of 300,000 fully vested options as provided in in the 2020 Chief Executive Agreement and (e) eligibility for an annual bonus for 2020 and true-up of bonus awards, based on a true-up of underwriting results for the applicable year, in the fourth calendar year following the applicable bonus award for all bonus years that remain open as of the date of retirement, including pro rata payment of bonus awards for January 2021. The Valko Separation Agreement also includes perpetual confidentiality and mutual non-disparagement provisions, and non-competition and employee and customer non-solicitation provisions effective for a period of two years following the Separation Date (as defined in the Valko Separation Agreement).

On March 6, 2018, we entered into the 2018 Employment Agreement with Ms. Valko. The 2018 Employment Agreement provided for an employment term of three years, from January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2020.

Under the 2018 Employment Agreement, Ms. Valko was eligible to receive a cash Return on Equity Bonus of up to $600,000 for each fiscal year of the Employment Agreement that Ms. Valko served as our Chief Executive Officer (the “ROE Bonus”). Ms. Valko was eligible to receive a preliminary ROE Bonus (the “Preliminary ROE Bonus”) for each such fiscal year if Global Indemnity’s return on equity percentage for such fiscal year exceeded 85% of the targeted return on equity percentage (as established by the Compensation Committee) for such fiscal year. If Ms. Valko was still employed by the Company and in good standing through the date of payment she would receive 50% of the Preliminary ROE Bonus, payable no later than April 1 of the calendar year immediately following the year to which such Preliminary ROE Bonus related. Global Indemnity would retain the remaining 50% unpaid balance of the Preliminary ROE Bonus, which would be paid to Ms. Valko within 90

days after the end of the third full calendar year following a Bonus Year (as defined in the 2018 Employment Agreement), regardless of Ms. Valko’s then-current employment status with the Company, but subject to adjustment based on an actuarial assessment of incurred but not reported underwriting losses and loss adjustment expenses and actual underwriting losses and loss adjustment expenses.

Additionally, under the 2018 Employment Agreement, Ms. Valko was eligible to receive an annual cash Performance Incentive Bonus of up to $200,000, based on an assessment of her performance during the Bonus Year (as defined by the 2018 Employment Agreement) by the Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, based upon the assessment of the Company’s Chairman of the Board, in his sole discretion.

Under the 2018 Employment Agreement, Ms. Valko was restricted from selling any Class A Common Shares unless Ms. Valko retained (x) vested Global Indemnity stock options and shares having an aggregate value of at least equal to the lesser of (i) $5,000,000 or (ii) $5,000,000 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the volume weighted trading price of Global Indemnity’s shares for the 30-day period ending on the relevant measurement date and the denominator of which is $50, and (y) at least 75% of the Global Indemnity options and restricted shares granted to her. Ms. Valko was required to provide Global Indemnity’s Chairman of the Board with advance notice, and receive approval of, any proposed sale.

In addition, Ms. Valko was granted options (“Tranche 3 Options”) to buy 300,000 Class A Common Shares with an exercise price of $50.00 per share. 100,000 Tranche 3 Options vested on December 31 of each of 2018, 2019 and 2020, if Ms. Valko remained employed and in good standing as of such date. Tranche 3 Options originally expired on the earlier of December 31, 2027 and 90 calendar days after Ms. Valko was neither employed by Global Indemnity nor a member of the Board, but per the terms of the Valko Separation Agreement, the Tranche 3 Options cease being exercisable 24 months after Ms. Valko’s retirement. 100,000 of the Tranche 3 Options vested on December 31, 2018 and are exercisable, 100,000 of the Tranche 3 Options vested on December 31, 2019 and are exercisable, and 100,000 of the Tranche 3 options vested on December 31, 2020 and are exercisable.

In 2014, Ms. Valko was granted options to buy 300,000 Class A Common Shares (“Tranche 2 Options”). The Tranche 2 Options vested on December 31 of each of 2018, 2019 and 2020 in an amount based on Ms. Valko’s attainment of the ROE Bonus criteria described above. 100,000 of Ms. Valko’s Tranche 2 Options failed to vest on December 31, 2018 and were forfeited as the return on equity criteria in her 2018 Employment Agreement was not met. 100,000 of Ms. Valko’s Tranche 2 Options vested on December 31, 2019 based on achievement of return on equity of 5.5%, which exceeded the targeted 5.1% return on equity, and are subject to true-up of the return on equity. 100,000 of Ms. Valko’s Tranche 2 Options failed to vest on December 31, 2020 and were forfeited as the return on equity criteria in her 2018 Employment Agreement were not met.

For information on Ms. Valko’s bonus opportunities, see the discussion related to Ms. Valko under “Target Incentives Under Employment Agreements” in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis above.

Jonathan E. Oltman

In 2020, Mr. Oltman was an at-will employee and did not have an executive employment agreement or arrangement.

In connection with Mr. Oltman’s appointment as President of our insurance operations, the Company and Mr. Oltman executed the “Terms of Employment” on January 19, 2021. The initial term of the Terms of

Employment runs from January 19, 2021 through December 31, 2023. The Terms of Employment provides for an annual base salary of $650,000. The Terms of Employment provides for a grant of 140,000 stock options to acquire Class A Common Shares, of which one-third will vest on April 1 of each of 2022, 2023 and 2024, subject to (i) the achievement of certain underwriting results for the applicable year as determined by the Board, and (ii) Mr. Oltman being a Company employee in good standing as of the applicable vesting date. All vested, unexercised stock options expire on the earlier of (i) January 31, 2031, (ii) the last day of the twenty-fourth month after the date Mr. Oltman’s employment is terminated for cause, (iii) ninety calendar days after the date Mr. Oltman voluntarily terminates his employment with us, (iv) the date Mr. Oltman precipitated a cause event, (v) the date Mr. Oltman’s employment is terminated for cause, and (vi) the date Mr. Oltman materially breached any material post-employment agreements with Global Indemnity.

The Terms of Employment provide Mr. Oltman with a bonus award opportunity between $487,500 and $812,500 with a target of $650,000, payable 50% in cash and 50% in Class A Common Shares. Calendar years 2021, 2022, and 2023 (corresponding to the Company’s fiscal years) are referred to as “Contract Year(s)”. With respect to each Contract Year during which Mr. Oltman serves as President for the entirety of such year (or in the case of 2021, from January 19, 2021 through December 31, 2021), if and only if Global Indemnity’s insurance and reinsurance operations’ (“Penn-Patriot’s”) actual consolidated policy year underwriting income for such Contract Year (the “Actual Contract Year UI”) equals or surpasses 75% of the amount of Penn-Patriot’s consolidated policy year underwriting income included in the business plan approved (and as may be modified) by the Board in respect of such Contract Year (the “Board Targeted UI”), then Mr. Oltman shall be entitled to a bonus award (“Bonus Award”) in respect of such Contract Year. The Bonus Award in respect of a Contract Year will be $487,500 if the Actual Contract Year UI is 75% of the Board Targeted UI, $650,000 if the Actual Contract Year UI is 100% of the Board Targeted UI, and $812,500 if the Actual Contract Year UI is 125% or more of the Board Targeted UI. If the Actual Contract Year UI is between 75% and 125% of the Board Targeted UI, the Bonus Award in respect of a Contract Year will be determined by interpolation.

A Bonus Award will be payable as follows: (i) if on April 1 of the calendar year immediately following the close of a Contract Year, Mr. Oltman is on such date then employed by the Company and in good standing, then fifty percent (50%) of the Bonus Award in respect of such Contract Year, if any, shall be deemed earned and shall be paid in cash (the “Bonus Award Paid Amount”); and (ii) if on April 1 of the fourth (4th) calendar year following the close of each Contract Year, Mr. Oltman is then employed by the Company and in good standing, or, if Mr. Oltman is no longer employed by Global Indemnity at such time, but Mr. Oltman (A) had not voluntarily terminated his employment with the Company, and (B) had neither been terminated for cause, precipitated a cause event, nor materially breached any material post-employment agreements, then the Bonus Award in respect of such Contract Year shall be redetermined (i.e., trued-up) based upon the (x) underwriting loss and loss adjustment expense developments in respect of the Contract Year as of December 31 of the third (3rd) calendar year following such Contract Year (the “True-up Date”) and (y) an actuarial assessment of incurred but not reported underwriting losses and loss adjustment expenses in respect of such Contract Year as of the True-up Date (the “Trued-up Bonus Award”). In the event a Trued-up Bonus Award for a Contract Year exceeds the Bonus Award Paid Amount in respect of such Contract Year, then Mr. Oltman shall at such time be paid the amount of such excess (the “Excess Payment”) in fully vested Class A Common Shares. The number of such shares will be determined by (i) the Excess Payment divided by (ii) the per share price of Class A Common Shares on December 31 of the applicable Contract Year. In addition, the Company shall pay to Mr. Oltman the cash amount of dividends that would have been payable to the holder of such number of shares if those shares had been issued on December 31 of the applicable Contract Year.

For information on Mr. Oltman’s bonus opportunities in 2020, see the discussion related to Mr. Oltman under “Target Incentives Under Employment Agreements” in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis above.

Cynthia Y. Valko

Under the 2018 Employment Agreement and the 2020 Chief Executive Agreement, Ms. Valko’s employment could have been terminated at any time by us, with or without cause, or by Ms. Valko at any time.

•

Termination by Us for Cause. If Ms. Valko’s employment was terminated for cause, Ms. Valko would receive all accrued, but unpaid, base salary through the termination date and any vesting of restricted shares and/or options would cease.

Under the 2018 Employment Agreement and the 2020 Chief Executive Agreement, “cause” included one or more of the following as determined by the Board in its sole discretion: (1) conduct of Ms. Valko constituting fraud, dishonesty, malfeasance, gross incompetence, gross misconduct, or gross negligence; (2) Ms. Valko being officially charged with or indicted for a felony criminal offense involving violence or moral turpitude; (3) Ms. Valko failing to follow the lawful written instructions of the Chairman of the Board or the Board; or (4) Ms. Valko’s violation of the Company’s governance, code of conduct, conflict of interest, or similar Company policies applicable to Company employees generally or senior executives generally.

•

Termination by Us Without Cause. If we terminated Ms. Valko without cause, Ms. Valko was entitled to severance payments equal to one month of base salary for each 12 months of employment prior to the date of termination, subject to the execution of a general release, with such amount payable in a lump sum on the 60^th day following Ms. Valko’s termination date.

•

Change in Control. All of Ms. Valko’s unvested restricted shares and unvested options, if any, become vested upon a change in control of Global Indemnity.

Assuming Ms. Valko’s employment was terminated under any of these circumstances or a change in control occurred on December 31, 2020, such payments and benefits would have had an estimated value of:


			Value of Accelerated Vesting of Equity Awards($)
	Severance($)		Options($)		Restricted Shares($)		Medical and Dental Benefits($)		Total($)

Without Cause		675,000		—		—		—		675,000

(1)	We would have had no further obligation to Ms. Valko except to pay her for all accrued, but unpaid, base salary through the termination date.

(2)

The option amount represents the value of the spread between the $17.87 exercise price and the closing price of $28.59 on December 31, 2020 for vested options to purchase 300,000 Class A Common Shares granted in 2011. For the vested options to purchase Class A Common Shares granted in 2014, the exercise price of $38.43 is above the closing price of $28.59 on December 31, 2020 and are of no value. For the vested options to purchase Class A Common Shares granted in 2018, the exercise price of $50.00 is above the closing price of $28.59 on December 31, 2020 and are of no value. For the options to purchase Class A Common Shares granted in 2020, the exercise price of $52.79 is above the closing price of $28.59 on December 31, 2020 and are of no value.

Under Mr. McGeehan’s employment agreement, “cause” generally means (1) Mr. McGeehan substantially failing to perform his material duties after notice from us and failure to cure such violation within 10 days of the notice (to the extent the Board reasonably determines such failure to perform is curable and subject to notice) or violating any of our material policies, including our corporate governance and ethics guidelines, conflicts of interests policies and code of conduct applicable to all of our employees and senior executives, (2) the engaging by Mr. McGeehan in any malfeasance, fraud, dishonesty or gross misconduct adverse to our interests, (3) the material violation by Mr. McGeehan of certain provisions of his employment agreement or share/option agreements after notice from us and a failure to cure such violation within 10 days of the notice, (4) a breach by Mr. McGeehan of any representation or warranty in his employment agreement or share/option agreements, (5) the determination by the Board that Mr. McGeehan has exhibited incompetence or gross negligence in the performance of his duties, (6) receipt of a final written directive or order of any governmental body or entity having jurisdiction over us requiring termination or removal of Mr. McGeehan, or (7) Mr. McGeehan being charged with a felony or other crime involving moral turpitude.

During this severance period, we are also obligated to maintain any medical and dental plan in which Mr. McGeehan participates until the earlier of the end of the severance period or Mr. McGeehan becoming eligible for coverage by another employer and subject to Mr. McGeehan continuing to bear his share of coverage costs.

EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN INFORMATION

The following table sets forth information as of December 31, 2020 regarding the Company’s equity compensation plans. The only plan pursuant to which the Company may currently make additional equity grants is the Global Indemnity Group, LLC 2018 Share Incentive Plan, which replaced the 2016 Share Incentive Plan. The 2016 Share Incentive Plan replaced the Global Indemnity plc 2014 Share Incentive Plan as a result of the redomestication of Global Indemnity from Ireland to the Cayman Islands. The Global Indemnity plc 2014 Share Incentive plan had replaced the Global Indemnity plc 2003 Share Incentive Plan, which had expired per its terms on September 5, 2013. Outstanding grants were not affected by the Redomestication, the 2016 redomestication of Global Indemnity from Ireland to the Cayman Islands, or the expiration of the Global Indemnity plc 2003 Share Incentive Plan.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER PAY RATIO

As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship of the annual total compensation of our employees and the annual total compensation of our Chief Executive Officer during 2020, Ms. Valko.

This pay ratio below is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules based on our payroll and employment records and the methodology described below. The SEC’s rules for identifying the median compensated employee and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee’s annual total compensation allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, to apply certain exclusions, and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their employee populations and compensation practices. As a result, the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported below, as other companies have different employee populations and compensation practices and may utilize different methodologies, exclusions, estimates and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios.

We identified the median employee for 2020 by selecting the middle employee calculated by ordering compensation of all employees, excluding Ms. Valko, from the highest to the lowest and selecting the employee at the center. We included all employees, as of December 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2020, we employed 376 persons in the United States, 20 employees in Ireland, and two employees in Bermuda. For United States based employees we used gross compensation as reported on Form W-2, for Ireland based employees we used total play plus additional compensation as reported on our 2020 payroll summary (euros were converted to U.S.

dollars using the exchange rate as of December 31, 2020), and for our Bermuda based employees we used 2020 gross compensation, which included annual salary plus any bonus payment plus any other compensation. Our median employee’s total compensation in 2020 was $91,655.

With respect to the annual total compensation of Ms. Valko, we used the amount in the “Total” column of our 2020 Summary Compensation Table included in this Annual Report, which was $1,424,440. Our 2020 ratio of chief executive officer total compensation to our median employee’s total compensation is 15.5:1.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

On December 31, 2020, the predecessor committee to our Nom-Comp Committee consisted of James D. Wehr and Joseph W. Brown. No member during 2020 was an employee or an officer of Global Indemnity or its subsidiaries at any time during 2020 nor has any such person formerly been an officer of the Company. No executive officer of Global Indemnity served as a director or a member of the compensation committee of another company, one of whose executive officers served as a member of our Board or the predecessor committee to our Nom-Comp Committee during 2020.

Principal Shareholders and Security Ownership of Management

The table on the following page sets forth certain information concerning the beneficial ownership of our Class A and Class B Common Shares as of April 20, 2021, including the percentage of our total voting power such shares represent on an actual basis, by:

•

each of our named executive officers;

•

each of our current directors and director nominees;

•

each holder known to us to hold beneficially more than 5% of any class of our shares; and

•

all of our current executive officers and directors as a group.

We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purposes.

The numbers of shares set forth in these columns are calculated in accordance with the provisions of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). As a result, these figures assume the exercise or conversion by each beneficial owner of all securities that are exercisable or convertible within 60 days of April 20, 2021. In particular, Class A Common Shares that may be acquired by a particular beneficial owner upon the conversion of Class B Common Shares are deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of the Class A Common Shares owned by such beneficial owner, but are not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of the Class A Common Shares owned by any other beneficial owner.

(2)

The percentages in this column represent the percentage of the total outstanding voting power of Global Indemnity Group, LLC that the particular beneficial owner holds. The numerator used in this calculation is the total votes to which each beneficial owner is entitled, taking into account that each Class B Common Share has ten votes, and the denominator is the total number of votes to which all outstanding shares of Global Indemnity Group, LLC are entitled, again taking into account that each Class B Common Share has ten votes.

(3)

The percentages in this column represent the percentage of the total outstanding share capital of Global Indemnity Group, LLC that a particular beneficial owner holds on an as-converted basis, assuming that each Class B Common Share is converted into one Class A Common Share. As of April 20, 2021 there were 14,427,205 Class A Common Shares outstanding on an as-converted basis. The numerator used in this calculation is the total number of Class A Common Shares each beneficial owner holds on an as-converted basis and the denominator is the total number of Class A Common Shares on an as-converted basis.

Related Party Transactions

The Conflicts Committee and, prior to August 28, 2020, the Audit Committee, of our Board is responsible for investigating, reviewing, evaluating and taking action upon any actual or potential related party transactions and, as appropriate, making recommendations with respect to related party transactions to our Board for its formal approval. In addition, the Conflicts Committee is responsible for carrying out and fulfilling the duties and responsibilities of the Conflicts Committee set forth in Section 5.17 of the LLCA in connection with any related party transactions. If a member of the Conflicts Committee or our Board is a party to the transaction, he or she will not vote on the approval of the transaction.

Generally, the Conflicts Committee reviews all transactions, activities, arrangements, circumstances or other matters between or among one or more related parties, on the one hand, and Global Indemnity, on the other hand, including those transactions that are required to be disclosed in our proxy statement or in the notes to our audited financial statements. A “related party” includes any executive officer, director, nominee for director or beneficial holder of more than 5% of our Outstanding Voting Shares, any immediate family member of those persons and any entity that is owned or controlled by any of the foregoing persons or any entity in which such a person is an executive officer.

The Conflicts Committee has the power and authority, in its sole discretion, to retain or obtain the advice of any financial advisors, consultants, legal counsels, or other advisors in connection with conducting investigations into or studies of related party transactions. In addition, the Conflicts Committee may ask members of management or others to attend its meetings and to provide pertinent information as necessary. Following each of its meetings, the Conflicts Committee will, as appropriate, deliver a report on the meeting to the Board, including a description of all matters approved by the Conflicts Committee at the meeting.

Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement

As of April 20, 2021, the Fox Paine Entities beneficially own shares representing approximately 83% of the voting power of Global Indemnity. As such, the Fox Paine Entities currently constitute a Class B Majority Shareholder (as defined in the LLCA) and, in connection therewith, are entitled pursuant to Section 5.3 of the LLCA to appoint a number of the Company’s directors equal in the aggregate to their pro rata percentage of the voting power in the Company, rounded up to the nearest whole number of directors, which number, as of April 20, 2021, is six (6) of the Company’s seven (7) directors. In addition, given the percentage of the voting power in the Company beneficially held by the Fox Paine Entities, the Fox Paine Entities are able to control the election of all of the Company’s remaining directors. The Company’s Chairman of the Board is the chief executive and founder of Fox Paine & Company, LLC.

Management Agreement

Pursuant to the Third Amended and Restated Management Agreement, (“Management Agreement”) dated August 28, 2020, between the Company and Fox Paine & Company, LLC, the Company agrees to pay, or to cause one of its affiliates to pay, an annual service fee (“Annual Service Fee”) as compensation for Fox Paine & Company, LLC’s ongoing provision of certain financial and strategic consulting, advisory and other services to the Company and its affiliates, and to reimburse all direct and indirect expenses paid or incurred in connection with such services upon request, excluding expenses for travel, lodging, meals, and other items relating to attendance at regularly scheduled meetings of the Board. For the twelve-month period beginning on September 5, 2019 and ending September 4, 2020, the Annual Service Fee was equal to $2.6 million, which amount will be adjusted on an ongoing basis in each subsequent twelve-month period to reflect the aggregate increase in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers as determined by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Should the Company and Fox Paine & Company, LLC agree that the Annual Service Fee will be deferred, the Annual Service Fee will become subject to an annual adjustment equal to the percentage rate of return the Company earns on its investment portfolio multiplied by the aggregate Annual Service Fees and adjustment amounts accumulated and unpaid through such date.

In addition, upon the consummation of a “change in control” transaction in connection with the termination of management services, the Company will pay Fox Paine & Company, LLC a cash fee in an amount to be agreed upon, plus reimbursement of expenses. Fox Paine & Company, LLC will also receive a cash transaction fee in an amount to be agreed upon, plus reimbursement of expenses, upon the consummation of a “change in control” transaction.

In addition, the Company has agreed to indemnify Fox Paine & Company, LLC and other indemnified parties against various liabilities that may arise as a result of the management services and advisory services they have provided or will provide.

Other Fees to Fox Paine & Company, LLC

In addition to the Annual Service Fee under the Management Agreement, as previously disclosed, Fox Paine & Company, LLC may also propose and negotiate transaction fees with the Company subject to the provisions of the Company’s related party transaction policies, including approval of the Company’s Audit Committee or Conflicts Committee of the Board, for those services from time to time. Each of the Company’s transactions with Fox Paine & Company, LLC described below were reviewed and approved by either the Company’s Audit Committee or Conflicts Committee of the Board, which are composed of independent directors, and the Board (other than Mr. Fox, who is not a member of either the Audit Committee or the Conflicts Committee and recused himself from the Board’s deliberations).

Recapitalization and Reorganization Transactions Fee

On April 25, 2018, the Company and its indirect wholly owned subsidiaries (including Global Indemnity Group, Inc., now GBLI Holdings, LLC (“GIGI”), and Global Indemnity Reinsurance Company, Ltd.

Fox Paine & Company, LLC acted as financial advisor to the Company’s affiliated group in connection with the design, structuring and implementation of the Reorganization. Fox Paine & Company, LLC’s services for the Company’s affiliated group in connection with the Reorganization were performed during the first and second quarter of 2018. The total fee for these services was $12.5 million, which was paid in June 2018. As with each of the Company’s transactions with Fox Paine & Company, LLC, this transaction was reviewed and approved by the Company’s Audit Committee and the Board (other than Mr. Fox, who is not a member of the Audit Committee and who recused himself from the Board’s deliberations), and, in connection with its review and approval of this transaction, the Audit Committee also engaged its own investment banking firm for advice.

For proposals not made in accordance with Rule 14a-8, you must comply with the specific procedures and requirements set forth in the LLCA and the proposal must contain the specific information required by the LLCA. You may write to our Corporate Secretary at Three Bala Plaza East, Suite 300, Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania 19004 to deliver the notices discussed above and to request a copy of the relevant LLCA provisions regarding the requirements for making shareholder proposals candidates pursuant to the LLCA.

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports

Based solely on our review of the copies of the reports that we have received, and written representations received from certain reporting persons with respect to the filing of reports on Forms 3, 4 and 5, we believe that all filings required to be made by the reporting persons for 2020 were made on a timely basis except for the following filings we filed late on behalf of the reporting persons: Mr. Gibbons on one Form 4 filing.

Other Matters

Our management knows of no matters to be presented at the Annual Meeting or any adjournments or postponements thereof other than those set forth above and customary procedural matters.

Householding

Some banks, brokers, and other nominee record holders may be participating in the practice of “householding” proxy statements and annual reports. This means that only one copy of the Proxy Statement and Annual Report on Form 10-K may have been sent to multiple shareholders in your household. We will promptly deliver a separate copy of these documents to you if you send a written request to our Secretary, Global Indemnity Group, LLC, Three Bala Plaza East, Suite 300, Bala Cynwyd, PA 19004 or request copies by calling (610) 664-1500.
