        F o c u s e d   o n   “ l i g h t ”   c o mm e r c i a l   a u t o   The primary business of Atlas is commercial automobile insurance in the United States, with a niche market  orientation and focus on insurance for the “light” commercial automobile sector including taxi cabs,  nonemergency para‐transit, limousine/livery (including full‐time transportation network company drivers)  and business auto. Atlas’ specialized infrastructure is designed to leverage analytics, expertise and  technology to efficiently and profitably provide insurance solutions for independent contractors, owner  operators and other smaller accounts. The Company focuses on underserved and evolving niche markets  where its differentiated approach is expected to create value for its stakeholders and shareholders. The Company’s strategy is focused on leveraging its managing general agency operation (“AGMI”) and its  insuretech digital platform (“optOn”). For more information about Atlas, please visit www.atlas‐ fin.com, www.agmiinsurance.com, and www.getopton.com. About Atlas


 
        Early Years 2011‐2015 Atlas began process of building its  underwriting infrastructure as a  carrier; historically focused on taxi  and limo business.   Addressing  Challenges 2019‐2020 After several years of strong  operating results, the Company  began to report heavier than  expected loss reserves across its  business lines. Atlas’ losses were  similar in nature to that of the  commercial auto industry at large.  As a result the Company  re‐ aligned its operational focus to  leverage core strengths. Paradigm Shift 2015‐2018 The proliferation of ride‐sharing  services and transportation  network companies such as Uber  and Lyft completely transform  the market.  Atlas continues to  grow in light commercial auto  throughout this process as it  adapts to the changing market  conditions. Present and Future 2021 ‐ Focusing on its core strengths,  relationships, and data/analytics,  Atlas began a strategic shift  focusing on its technology driven  commercial auto managing  general agency (“MGA”) as its  primary business Atlas History Strategic Realignment


 
        Atlas Strategic Focus Strategic Realignment Vision To always be a preferred specialty transportation related insurance business that delivers benefit to all stakeholders by leveraging technology, analytics, expertise, partnerships and capital resources. Deliver sustainable value to our risk taking partners and consumers of our products by cultivating and maintaining a unique position in the markets on which we focus. As a nimble, innovative specialist, deploy our expertise, analytics and technology to disrupt underserved segments of commercial auto. Mission To develop and deliver superior specialty insurance products and services to meet our customers’ needs with a focus on innovation and the effective use of technology and analytics to deliver consistent operating profit for the insurance businesses we own


 
        Strategic Focus • Leverage heritage in specialty market • Utilize Atlas’ systems and MGA resources (“AGMI”) • Existing distribution channel cultivated over decade (420+ independent producers) • Re-capture legacy $200+ million book of business in public auto sectors • Combine traditional insurance company structure with legitimate insuretech • Expand into other areas of “light” commercial automobile 1 Key “Atlas” Assets  • Decades of data in niche market • More than $10 million in technology and analytics development invested prior to challenges in recent years • Expert staff that embraces innovation • Systems and workflows designed around highly transactional business • Ability to capitalize on hard commercial auto market • Unique insights based on industry and affiliate insurance company results 2 MGA Approach Changing the Business Model


 
        MGA Attributes Changing the Business Model Infrastructure • MGA entity licensed nationwide • Contracts in place with third party carriers representing the majority of total premium • In discussions to continue to expand product offerings through partnerships with external risk taking carriers/reinsurers • Scalable policy and claims systems specifically designed for niche business • Predictive analytics tools developed using machine learning deployed in both risk selection (underwriting) and claim processes • Proven success working in a remote environment with the ability to scale as the business grows Employees • Cohesive and experienced team with decades of experience in specialty commercial auto niche • Metric-based operating environment ensuring quality and productivity • Initial MGA headcount is a subset of a larger pool of employees which can be available to support growth, as necessary • Longstanding relationships with producers and other strategic business partners • Historically demonstrated ability to grow premium successfully while maintaining efficient operating expense ratios • Management team with experience running 300 FTE business Financial • Flexible expense structure based on potential growth • Headcount to be managed based on actual growth and economic recovery with marginal scale efficiency • Expected positive EBITDA based on hard market, limited competitors, and incremental risk bearing platform(s) • Considering opportunities to cross sell with other insurance and/or service providers • Ability to grow without capital constraints historically related to primary insurance carrier based business model • Significant margin expansion with scale and increased use of insuretech platform


 
       Explaining the MGA Model Knowledge Insureds seeking  coverage for  commercial auto  needs (typically  individuals and  smaller fleets of  drivers) Insureds Agents / Brokers MGA Carriers Independent agents seeking  options for insureds in order  to fit their needs Insurance carriers seek programs to  access insureds in niche markets which  may not be practical to develop on their  own either due to scale, speciality, etc. An MGA, or Managing General Agent, is an  individual or company that provides  operational functions for insurance carriers  who in turn take the financial risk for  policies issued by the MGA. These strategic partnerships are a   “win  win” for both parties due to the  complimentary nature of the value  delivered by each.


 
       ! Current Status of MGA Programs Strategic Update Paratransit • National Interstate exercised renewal rights • Beginning with policies with December 1 effective dates, business will be transitioned during subsequent twelve months • Frees up resources to focus on growing taxi/livery/limo book Global Liberty • Liquidated in October 2021 • Evaluating potential alternatives in New York market Taxi / Limo / TNC • Strong partnership with Buckle Corporation who acquired three of Atlas’ former insurance company entities out of liquidation • Ability to quote >80% of business we wrote in 2018 • Demand continues to be significantly depressed due to COVID • Exploring opportunity to leverage former Lyft program for fleets • Business planning to potentially launch optOn 2.0 Continuing Discontinued


 
        Business Activity Update Current Market Recovery Public Auto COVID Impact/Recovery • Part-time TNC leading Taxi/Livery in total recovery, but marginal growth slowing − Chicago TNC: 4,343k trips in September 2021, no change from last month but still about 51% down from September 2019 (8,916k trips) • Taxi/Livery continuing from prior months at increasing marginal rate − Chicago Taxi: 360k trips in September 2021, about a 4% increase from last month but still about 68% down from September 2019 (1,134k trips) − Las Vegas (Desert)Taxi: September 2021 shows 13% decrease from prior month; 8% increase from September 2019 • All segments experiencing significantly more demand for rides vs. driver supply • Driver return began to gain momentum work following Labor Day • Platforms offering near-term incentives to attract owner operators Data Source: Nevada Taxicab Authority https://taxi.nv.gov/About_Us/ALL/Statistics/ Data Source: Nevada Taxicab Authority https://data.cityofchicago.org/Transportation/Transportation- Network-Providers-Trips/ Data Source: Nevada Taxicab Authority https://data.cityofchicago.org/Transportation/Taxi-Trips/


 
        Business Activity Update Current Market Recovery In New York, all rideshare drivers are commercially licensed.  Outside of New York, increasing demand for rides  should result in a tipping point that justifies full time drivers to put vehicles back in service.  We expect this to  potentially generate a dramatic increase in new business applications and a shift in effective dates.  In recent  months, NY TNC declined while taxi continued to recover: Uber and Lyft continue to report increase in passenger demand with improving driver supply.
