Item 5.02.			Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On May 12, 2021, FedNat Holding Company (the “Company”) entered into an Addendum to Employment Agreement (the “Addendum”) between the Company and Patrick McCahill, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer. The Addendum supplements the Employment Agreement between the Company and Mr. McCahill dated as of August 22, 2020 (the “Employment Agreement”). Under the terms of the Employment Agreement, the Company agrees to pay Mr. McCahill an annual base salary and additional incentive compensation, if any, as each are determined from time to time by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”).

The Addendum memorializes the modification agreed to by Mr. McCahill and the Company to his annual bonus program for 2021 to eliminate any minimum bonus amount. In addition, the weighting of the two components of his annual bonus program (which constitutes 50% of Mr. McCahill’s total incentive bonus opportunity for 2021) were modified to 12.5% for the EBITDA metric (from 30% as originally approved by the Compensation Committee) and 37.5% for the discretionary component (from 20% as originally approved by the Compensation Committee). The discretionary component of Mr. McCahill’s annual bonus will be tied to comprehensive goals, including “SMART” objectives, for all members of the Company’s senior management.

Although the Compensation Committee believes that the original structure of Mr. McCahill’s annual bonus was customary for newly hired executives, the Company and Mr. McCahill agreed to the modifications described above, in particular the elimination of a minimum bonus for 2021, to address concerns raised by Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. when recommending a vote against the Company’s advisory “say-on-pay” proposal in the proxy statement for its upcoming annual meeting of shareholders.

Mr. McCahill also acknowledged in the Addendum that the modifications described above will not constitute “Good Reason” as defined in the Employment Agreement.

The description of the Addendum set forth above is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text thereof, which is attached as Exhibit 10.48.A to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
