Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Seller transferred to Buyer 1,000,000 shares of Class A common stock of Tiptree (the "Shares") for aggregate consideration of $7,300,000. The transaction is expected to be accretive to book value and earnings per share on a GAAP basis. The Shares acquired by a subsidiary of Tiptree will be held as treasury shares and therefore will not be outstanding for accounting or voting purposes.

On an as exchanged basis, Tiptree has 37,066,490 shares outstanding. “As exchanged” assumes the full exchange of the limited partnership units of Tiptree Financial Partners, L.P., an intermediate holding company through which Tiptree operates its businesses, for Tiptree Class A common stock.
