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

On November 8, 2016, Michael Corey notified Steven Mariano, Chairman of the Board of Patriot National, Inc. (the “Company”), via email that he would resign from the Company’s Board of Directors effective immediately.

VIA EMAIL

From: Michael Corey

To: Steven Mariano

Subject: Letter of resignation from Patriot National Board of Directors

Steve:

Effective immediately, November 8, 2016, I am resigning as a Director of the Patriot National Board. I am hopeful this will not cause significant inconvenience to you or the board. It is clear to me that you and I have a different opinion regarding how to manage and lead the company into the future, and because of those differing opinions, I cannot effectively perform my duties as a board member in the manner I believe necessary. Thus my need to resign. Best of success to you, the board and the company as you move forward.
