On July 16, 2018, the Company announced it had entered into a definitive agreement to sell its non-standard automobile insurance companies Mendota Insurance Company, Mendakota Insurance Company and Mendakota Casualty Company (collectively "Mendota"). On October 18, 2018, the Company completed the previously announced sale of Mendota. As a result of this announcement, Mendota, which was previously disclosed as part of the Insurance Underwriting segment, has been classified as a discontinued operation, and the results of their operations are reported separately for all periods presented.

The Company recognized a loss on disposal of Mendota of $1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The final aggregate purchase price of $28.6 million was redeployed primarily to acquire equity investments, limited liability investments, limited liability investment, at fair value and other investments, which were owned by Mendota at the time of the closing, and to fund $5.0 million into an escrow account to be used to satisfy potential indemnity obligations under the definitive stock purchase agreement. As part of the transaction, the Company will indemnify the buyer for any loss and loss adjustment expenses with respect to open claims and certain specified claims in excess of Mendota's carried unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses at June 30, 2018. The maximum obligation to the Company with respect to the open claims is $2.5 million. There is no maximum obligation to the Company with respect to the specified claims. During the first quarter of 2019, Mendota settled one of the two specified claims for $0.5 million, resulting in no loss to the Company. During the fourth quarter of 2019, Mendota notified the Company that Mendota had entered into an agreement to settle the remaining specified claim for $1.6 million. Net of expenses, the Company recorded a loss of $1.5 million related to the settlement of the remaining specified claim, which is reported as loss on disposal of discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019. The $1.6 million settlement was funded from the $5.0 million escrow account, and the $3.4 million remaining in the escrow account was released to the Company during the first quarter of 2020 consistent with the terms of the escrow agreement.
