ITEM 1.01                    ENTRY INTO A DEFINITIVE MATERIAL AGREEMENT

 On March 2, 2018, we entered into a Sales Agreement with Cowen and Company, LLC (“Cowen”), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell from time to time in an “at the market” offering, at its option, up to an aggregate of $50,000,000 of shares (the “Placement Shares”) of our Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Class A common stock”), through Cowen, as sales agent (the “ATM Offering”). Pursuant to the Sales Agreement, Cowen may sell the Placement Shares at market prices by any method that is deemed to be an "at the market offering" as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including sales made directly on The NASDAQ Capital Market or any other trading market for our Class A common stock, or as otherwise directed by us.

Cowen will use commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Placement Shares from time to time, based upon instructions from us (including any price, time or size limits or other customary parameters or conditions we may impose). We will pay Cowen a commission equal to three percent (3.0%) of the gross sales proceeds of any Placement Shares sold through Cowen under the Sales Agreement, and have provided Cowen with customary indemnification and contribution rights. We are not obligated to make any sales of Class A common stock under the Sales Agreement. The offering of Placement Shares pursuant to the Sales Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the sale of all Placement Shares subject to the Sales Agreement, or (ii) termination of the Sales Agreement in accordance with its terms.

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

Sales of the Placement Shares will be made pursuant to a prospectus supplement to our previously filed and currently effective shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-222853) (the “Registration Statement”). This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the securities discussed herein, nor shall there be any offer, solicitation, or sale of the securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state. 

A copy of the opinion of Gennari Aronson, LLP, relating to the legality of the Placement Shares, is filed as Exhibit 5.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is filed with reference to, and is hereby incorporated by reference into, the Registration Statement.

ITEM 8.01                    OTHER ITEMS

In connection with the filing of the Registration Statement on February 2, 2018, we filed the Consent of Stowe & Degon, LLC, Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, as Exhibit 23.3 thereto (the “S&D Consent”). The S&D Consent incorporated by reference Stowe & Degon, LLC’s report dated January 9, 2017 with respect to the financial statements of our subsidiary United Casualty and Surety Insurance Company (the “S&D Report”), but erroneously referenced the inclusion of such S&D Report in our latest Annual Report, while the S&D Report was actually included as an exhibit in our Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 26, 2017. Accordingly, we are now filing with this Current Report on Form 8-K a revised version of the S&D Consent, correctly referencing that the S&D Report was included in our Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed on January 26, 2017. A copy of the revised version of the S&D Consent is filed as Exhibit 23.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is filed with reference to, and is hereby incorporated by reference into, the Registration Statement.

On March 2, 2018, we filed with the SEC a final prospectus supplement in connection with the ATM Offering. The final prospectus supplement includes certain risk factors and incorporates by reference the “Risk Factors” section of our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC, as amended, and any updates to those risk factors or new risk factors contained in our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC. We are now filing with this Current Report on Form 8-K an update containing additional risk factors in connection with the ATM Offering. The updated risk factors are filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
