QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

The following are some questions that you, as a shareholder of International General Insurance Holdings Ltd. (“IGI,” “we” or the “Company”) may have regarding the matters being considered at IGI’s 2021 Annual General Meeting and brief answers to those questions. You are urged to carefully read this Information Circular in its entirety.

Q:     Why am I receiving these materials?

A:     The board of directors of IGI (the “Board”) is providing these materials to you in connection with IGI’s Annual General Meeting of shareholders, which will take place on Tuesday, November 30, 2021. As a shareholder, you are invited to attend the Annual General Meeting and are entitled and requested to vote on the items of business described in this Information Circular.

Q:     What items of business will be voted on at the Annual General Meeting?

A:     The items of business scheduled to be voted on at the Annual General Meeting are:

•        The election of two directors to IGI’s Board for a term of three years;

•        The approval of the re-appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent auditor for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021 and authorization for our Board to fix the independent auditor’s remuneration; and

•        such other business as may properly come before the meeting.

The audited financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 will be presented to the Annual General Meeting but do not require a vote.

Q:     How does the Board recommend that I vote?

A:     The Board recommends that you vote your shares “FOR” each of the proposals.

Q:     What shares can I vote?

A:     Each of IGI’s common shares, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Shares”), issued and outstanding as of the close of business on October 15, 2021 (the “Record Date”) for the Annual General Meeting is entitled to be voted on all items being voted upon at the Annual General Meeting. The record date for the Annual General Meeting is the date used to determine both the number of IGI’s Common Shares that are entitled to be voted at the Annual General Meeting and the identity of the shareholders of record and beneficial owners of those Common Shares who are entitled to vote those shares at the Annual General Meeting. On the record date for the Annual General Meeting, we had 48,885,441 Common Shares issued and outstanding. This number includes both (1) shares issued and outstanding as well as (2) contingent shares which have not yet vested but whose holders are entitled to vote with respect to such contingent shares.

You may vote all shares owned by you as of the record date for the Annual General Meeting, including (1) shares held directly in your name as the shareholder of record, and (2) shares held for you as the beneficial owner through a broker, trustee or other nominee such as a bank.

Q:     What is the difference between holding shares as a shareholder of record and as a beneficial owner?

A:     Voting procedures vary between record holders of shares and beneficial owners of shares.

Shareholder of Record

If your shares are registered directly in your name with IGI’s transfer agent, Continental, you are considered, with respect to those shares, the shareholder of record, and these proxy materials are being sent directly to you by IGI. As the shareholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to IGI management or to vote in person at the meeting. IGI has provided a proxy card for you to use.

Table of Contents

Beneficial Owner

If your shares are held in a brokerage account or by another nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in street name and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you together with voting instructions. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, trustee or nominee how to vote and are also invited to attend the Annual General Meeting.

Since a beneficial owner is not the shareholder of record, you may not vote these shares at the virtual meeting unless you obtain a “legal proxy” from the broker, trustee or nominee that holds your shares, giving you the right to vote the shares at the meeting. Your broker, trustee or nominee should have provided voting instructions for you to use in directing the broker, trustee or nominee how to vote your shares.

Q:     How can I attend the Annual General Meeting?

A:     You are entitled to attend the virtual Annual General Meeting only if you were an IGI shareholder as of the close of business on October 15, 2021 or you hold a valid proxy for the Annual General Meeting. The Annual General Meeting will be held on Tuesday, November 30, 2021 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time, in a virtual meeting format only via the Internet, with no physical in-person meeting. You will be able to attend and participate in the virtual Annual General Meeting online by entering the unique control number found on your enclosed proxy card at the meeting center at https://www.cstproxy.com/igi/2021, where you will be able to listen to the Annual General Meeting live, submit questions and vote. Information on how to vote virtually at and entering your control number found on your enclosed proxy card Annual General Meeting is discussed below.

Q:     How can I vote my shares?

A:     For each of the proposals you may vote “For” or “Against” or abstain from voting.

Shareholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name

If you are a shareholder of record as of October 15, 2021, you may vote at the Annual General Meeting by proxy using the enclosed proxy card, over the telephone or through the internet. Whether or not you plan to attend the virtual Annual General Meeting, we urge you to vote by proxy to ensure your vote is counted. You may still attend the meeting and vote in person even if you have already voted by proxy.

To vote using the proxy card, simply complete, sign and date the enclosed proxy card and return it promptly in the envelope provided in accordance with the instructions therein. If you return your signed proxy card to us before the Annual General Meeting, we will vote your shares as you direct.

To vote over the telephone, please dial +1 415-655-0243 (if you are dialing outside of the U.S. and Canada) and 1 888-965-8995 (if you are dialing from within the U.S. and Canada) using a touch-tone phone and follow the recorded instructions. You will be asked to provide the company number and control number from the enclosed proxy card. Your telephone vote must be received by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time on November 29, 2021 to be counted.

To vote through the Internet during the virtual Annual General Meeting, please visit https://www.cstproxy.com/igi/2021 and have available the control number included on your proxy card or on the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials.

To vote through the internet before the Annual General Meeting, go to https://www.cstproxyvote.com to complete an electronic proxy card. You will be asked to provide the company number and control number from the enclosed proxy card. Your internet vote must be received by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time on November 29, 2021 to be counted.

Table of Contents

Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of Broker or Bank

If you are a beneficial owner of shares registered in the name of your broker, bank, or other agent, you should have received a voting instruction form with this Information Circular from that organization rather than from IGI. Simply complete and mail the voting instruction form as directed therein to ensure that your vote is counted. Alternatively, you may vote by telephone or over the internet as instructed by your broker or bank. To vote in person at the Annual General Meeting, you must obtain a valid proxy from your broker, bank or other agent. Follow the instructions from your broker or bank included with this Information Circular, or contact your broker or bank to request a proxy form.

Q:     Can I change my vote?

A:     You may change your vote at any time prior to the vote at the Annual General Meeting. If you are the shareholder of record, you may change your vote by granting a new proxy bearing a later date (which automatically revokes the earlier proxy) by providing a written notice of revocation to IGI’s Chief Legal and Compliance Officer by mail, which must be received by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on November 29, 2021 prior to your shares being voted in accordance with the earlier proxy, or by attending the Annual General Meeting and voting. Virtual attendance at the meeting will not cause your previously granted proxy to be revoked unless you specifically so request. For shares you hold beneficially in street name, you may change your vote by submitting new voting instructions to your broker, trustee or nominee, or, if you have obtained a legal proxy from your broker or nominee giving you the right to vote your shares, by attending the meeting and voting.

Q:     Is my vote confidential?

A:     Proxy instructions, ballots and voting tabulations that identify individual shareholders are handled in a manner that protects your voting privacy. Your vote will not be disclosed either within IGI or to third parties, except (1) as necessary to meet applicable legal requirements, (2) to allow for the tabulation of votes and certification of the vote and (3) to facilitate a successful proxy solicitation. Occasionally, shareholders provide written comments on their proxy card, which are then forwarded to IGI management.

Q:     How many shares must be present or represented to conduct business at the Annual General Meeting?

A:     A quorum of shareholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present if shareholders holding at least a majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares entitled to vote are present at the meeting in person or represented by proxy. On the record date, there were 48,885,441 Common Shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote. Thus, Common Shares representing 24,442,721 votes must be present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting to have a quorum.

Your shares will be counted towards the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy (or one is submitted on your behalf by your broker, bank or other nominee) or if you vote in person at the meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted towards the quorum requirement.

Q:     How are votes counted?

A:     For each item of business, you may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN.” If you “ABSTAIN,” your abstention is not considered a vote for the purposes of the proposals and therefore has no effect on the adoption of any of the proposals.

If you provide specific instructions for a given item, your shares will be voted as you instruct on such item. If you sign your proxy card or voting instruction card without giving specific instructions, your shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of the Board (“FOR” all of IGI’s nominees to the Board, “FOR” the re-appointment of our independent auditor and authorization for the Board to fix their remuneration, and in the discretion of the proxyholders on any other matters that properly come before the meeting).

Table of Contents

If you hold shares beneficially in street name and do not provide your broker with voting instructions, your shares may constitute “broker non-votes.” Generally, broker non-votes occur on a matter when a broker is not permitted to vote on that matter without instructions from the beneficial owner and instructions are not given. In tabulating the voting result for any particular proposal, shares that constitute broker non-votes are not considered entitled to vote on that proposal. Thus, broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of any matter being voted on at the meeting, assuming that a quorum is obtained.

Q:     What is the voting requirement to approve each of the proposals?

A:     Proposals 2 and 3 require the affirmative “FOR” vote of a majority of votes cast.

Q:     Is cumulative voting permitted for the election of directors?

A:     No. IGI does not allow you to cumulate your vote in the election of directors. For all matters proposed for shareholder action at the Annual General Meeting, each Common Share issued and outstanding as of the close of business on the record date is entitled to one vote.

Q:     What happens if additional matters are presented at the Annual General Meeting?

A:     Other than the items of business described in this Information Circular, we are not aware of any business to be acted upon at the Annual General Meeting. If you grant a proxy, the persons named as proxyholders, Wasef Jabsheh, or failing him, Walid Jabsheh, or failing him, Pervez Rizvi, each with the power to appoint his substitute, will have the discretion to vote your shares on any additional matters properly presented for a vote at the meeting. If for any unforeseen reason any of our nominees are not available as a candidate for director, the persons named as proxyholders will vote your proxy for such candidate or candidates as may be nominated by the Board, unless the Board chooses to reduce the number of directors serving on the Board pursuant to the Amended and Restated Bye-laws .

Q:     What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials?

A:     You may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this Information Circular and multiple proxy or voting instruction cards. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you may receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. If you are a shareholder of record and your shares are registered in more than one name, you will receive more than one proxy card. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive.

Q:     How may I obtain a separate set of voting materials?

A:     If you share an address with another shareholder, you may receive only one set of proxy materials unless you have provided contrary instructions. If you wish to receive a separate set of proxy materials now or in the future, you may contact us to request a separate copy of these materials at:

International General Insurance Holdings Ltd.
74 Abdel Hamid Sharaf Street,
P.O. Box 941428,
Amman 11194, Jordan
Attention: Investor Relations
Telephone: 44 (0) 2072 204937
Email: robin.sidders@iginsure.com

Similarly, if you share an address with another shareholder and have received multiple copies of our proxy materials, you may contact us as indicated above to request delivery of a single copy of these materials in the future.

For Shareholders who hold their shares through a bank or brokerage account, instead of receiving future copies of these documents by mail, Shareholders can elect to receive an e-mail that will provide electronic links to the proxy materials. Opting to receive your proxy materials online will save the Company the cost of producing and mailing documents to your home or business, and will also give you an electronic link to the proxy voting site.

PRINCIPAL SECURITYHOLDERS

The following table sets forth information regarding beneficial ownership of IGI’s Common Shares based on 48,885,441 Common Shares issued and outstanding as of October 15, 2021, with respect to beneficial ownership of our shares by:

•        each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our issued and outstanding Common Shares;

•        each of our executive officers and directors; and

•        all our executive officers and directors as a group.

The information provided in the table is based on information filed with the SEC and information provided to IGI. In accordance with SEC rules, individuals and entities named below are shown as having beneficial ownership over Common Shares they own or have the right to acquire within 60 days, as well as Common Shares for which they have the right to vote or dispose of such Common Shares. Also in accordance with SEC rules, for purposes of calculating percentages of beneficial ownership, Common Shares which a person has the right to acquire within 60 days are included both in that person’s beneficial ownership as well as in the total number of Common Shares issued and outstanding used to calculate that person’s percentage ownership but not for purposes of calculating the percentage for other persons.

Except as indicated by the footnotes below, we believe that the persons named below have sole voting and dispositive power with respect to all Common Shares that they beneficially own. The Common Shares owned by the persons named below have the same voting rights as the Common Shares owned by our other shareholders. We believe that, as of October 15, 2021, our Common Shares are owned by 82 record holders.

BOARD STRUCTURE AND GOVERNANCE

Classification of Directors

Our Board is comprised of seven directors. Our Amended and Restated Bye-laws provide that our Board is divided into three classes designated as Class I, Class II and Class III with as nearly equal a number of directors in each group as possible. The Class I Directors were initially elected for a one-year term of office, the Class II Directors were initially elected for a two year term of office and the Class III Directors were initially elected for a three-year term of office. At each annual general meeting, successors to the class of directors whose term expires at that annual general meeting shall be elected for a three-year term. A director will hold office until the annual general meeting for the year in which his or her term expires, subject to his or her office being vacated in accordance with our Amended and Restated Bye-laws.

Prior to the consummation of the business combination between the Company and Tiberius Acquisition Corporation, David Anthony and David King were elected as Class I Directors with terms expiring at our 2021 Annual General Meeting, Wanda Mwaura and Andrew Poole were elected as Class II Directors with terms expiring at our 2022 annual general meeting, and Wasef Jabsheh, Walid Jabsheh and Michael Gray were elected as Class III Directors with terms expiring at our 2023 annual general meeting. Accordingly, the terms of David Anthony and David King will expire at the 2021 Annual General Meeting and our Board has nominated each of them for a new 3-year term which will expire at the 2024 annual general meeting.

The directors are elected with a plurality of the votes cast by the shareholders and there is no cumulative voting for elections of directors, provided that (1) for so long as Wasef Jabsheh, his family and/or their affiliates own at least 10% of our issued and outstanding Common Shares and provided that Wasef Jabsheh remains a shareholder, Wasef Jabsheh is entitled to appoint and classify two directors to the Board (such Wasef Jabsheh-appointed directors, “Jabsheh Directors”), (2) for so long as Wasef Jabsheh, his family and/or their affiliates own at least 5% of our issued and outstanding Common Shares and provided that Wasef Jabsheh remains a shareholder, Wasef Jabsheh is entitled to appoint and classify one Jabsheh Director to the Board, and (3) the remaining directors are elected by the shareholders. The current Jabsheh Directors are Wasef Jabsheh and Walid Jabsheh.

Board Independence

The Board has determined that each of the two persons nominated as Class I directors, David Anthony and David King, is “independent” under Nasdaq rules. As a foreign private issuer, we are not required to have a majority of independent directors. However, four out of seven members of our Board — David Anthony, Michael Gray, David King and Wanda Mwaura — are “independent” directors under Nasdaq rules. We also view Andrew Poole as a fifth independent director, although under Nasdaq rules Mr. Poole does not qualify as independent because he was an executive officer of Tiberius Acquisition Corp. who received compensation for such services.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Our Board has established three standing committees: the audit committee, the compensation committee and the nominating/governance committee. The membership of each of the committees as of the date hereof, and the number of meetings of each committee held during 2020, are as follows:

Audit Committee

The members of IGI’s audit committee are David Anthony, David King and Wanda Mwaura. Wanda Mwaura is the chair of the audit committee. The audit committee must be composed exclusively of “independent directors,” as defined by the rules and regulations of the SEC. Each of the members of our audit committee is independent under SEC and Nasdaq rules. Wanda Mwaura serves as the audit committee financial expert (within the meaning of SEC regulations). The Company has adopted an audit committee charter which sets forth the requirements for audit committee members and the responsibilities of the audit committee.

The audit committee is responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the auditors, review of the results and scope of the audit and other accounting related services and review of our accounting practices and systems of internal accounting and disclosure controls. The audit committee pre-approves auditing services and permitted non-audit services to be performed for the Company by the independent auditor. Audit committee pre-approval of audit and non-audit services is not required if the engagement for the services is entered into pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures established by the audit committee. The audit committee also reviews the independence and quality control procedures of the auditors and the experience and qualifications of the auditor’s senior personnel that are providing audit services to the Company. The audit committee’s duties include meeting with management and the auditors in connection with the annual audit, overseeing the internal auditor or internal audit function, and reviewing with management the risk assessment and risk management policies of the company and the earnings press releases and any guidance provided to analysts and rating agencies.

The audit committee may delegate to the chair of the audit committee, any of the members of the audit committee, or any subcommittee, the responsibility and authority for any particular matter within its powers and authority. However, subcommittees do not have the authority to engage independent legal counsel, accounting experts or other advisors unless expressly granted such authority by the audit committee.

Nominating/Governance Committee

As a foreign private issuer, the Company is not required to have a nominating/governance committee or a nominating/governance committee composed entirely of independent directors. However, IGI’s Board has a nominating/governance committee with a majority of independent directors. The members of the nominating/governance committee are Walid Jabsheh, Michael Gray and David King. David King is the chair of the nominating/governance committee. The nominating/governance committee is responsible for overseeing the selection of persons to be nominated to serve on our Board, advising the Board and making recommendations regarding appropriate corporate governance practices, and leading the Board in the annual performance evaluation of the Board and its committees.

Compensation Committee

As a foreign private issuer, the Company is not required to have a compensation committee or a compensation committee consisting only of independent directors. However, IGI’s Board has a compensation committee consisting of Walid Jabsheh, David Anthony and Andrew Poole. David Anthony is the chair of the compensation committee. The Company has adopted a compensation committee charter which sets forth the requirements for compensation committee members and the responsibilities of the compensation committee. The purpose of the compensation committee is to review, evaluate and approve compensation paid to our officers and directors. The compensation committee will review director compensation and make recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding the form and amount of director compensation. The compensation committee meets at least twice per year and annually reviews the compensation committee charter.

Codes of Conduct

The Company has adopted a Corporate Code of Business Conduct and Ethics applicable to all of its directors, officers and employees. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics covers, among other things, conflicts of interest, company books and records, use of company property, payments of gifts, corporate opportunities, compliance, extension of credit to officers and directors, confidentiality and employee relations.

The Company has also adopted a Financial Code of Ethics applicable to the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Accounting Officer, Controller and certain other officers. The Financial Code of Ethics provides that each officer must act ethically with honesty and integrity (including ethical handling of conflicts of interest), provide full and accurate disclosure in SEC filings and public communications, comply with applicable laws and regulations,

17

Table of Contents

act in good faith, responsibly, with due care, competence and diligence, promote honest and ethical behavior by others, respect the confidentiality of information acquired in the course of employment, responsibly use and maintain all assets and resources employed or entrusted to the officer, and promptly report violations of the code to the chairman of the audit committee.

Approval of Certain Transactions

Our Amended and Restated Bye-laws provide that the Board may approve the following transactions only if each Jabsheh Director then in office votes in favor of such transactions: (1) sell or dispose of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, (2) enter into any transaction in which one or more third parties acquire or acquires 25% or more of the Company’s Common Shares, (3) enter into any merger, consolidation, or amalgamation with an aggregate value equal to or greater than $75 million (exclusive of inter-company transactions), (4) alter the size of the Board, (5) incur debt in an amount of $50 million (or other equivalent currency) or more, and (6) issue Common Shares (or securities convertible into Common Shares) in an amount equal to or greater than 10% of the then issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Company.

Board Leadership

Wasef Jabsheh serves as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. We believe that having Mr. Jabsheh act as both Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer is most appropriate for us because it provides us with consistent and efficient leadership, both with respect to our operations and the leadership of the Board. In particular, having Mr. Jabsheh act in both of these roles increases the timeliness and effectiveness of our Board’s deliberations, increases the Board’s visibility into the Company’s day-to-day operations, and ensures the consistent implementation of our strategies.

We believe that the combined role of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, together with the significant responsibilities of the Board’s independent directors, provides an appropriate balance between leadership and independent oversight.

Vote Required

Approval of the election of each of Messrs. David Anthony and David King as a Class I director requires an affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual General Meeting.

Our Board unanimously recommends a vote FOR the approval of the election of each of Messrs. David Anthony and David King as a Class I director as set forth in Proposal No. 2.
