EXECUTION VERSION

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made as of May 9, 2014 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Heritage Insurance Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), and Ananke Re, Ltd., a Bermuda corporation (the “Investor”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Company intends to convert from a Delaware limited liability company to a Delaware corporation (the “Conversion”) and, following such Conversion, to consummate an initial public offering (the “IPO”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”).

WHEREAS, the Investor desires to purchase from the Company, and the Company desires to sell and issue to the Investor, Common Stock having an aggregate purchase price equal to $10,000,000 (Ten Million Dollars) concurrently with the consummation of the IPO at a price per share of Common Stock equal to the initial offering price in the IPO (the “IPO Price”), as set forth on the cover of the final prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 1.1 below, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

WHEREAS, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement on the Effective Date, which is prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-1 filed by the Company with the SEC for the Company’s IPO.

WHEREAS, in order to effect the IPO, the Company shall enter into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as representative of the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”).

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants herein contained, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1. Purchase and Sale of Stock.

1.1. Sale and Issuance of Stock. The Company agrees to issue and sell to the Investor, and the Investor agrees to purchase from the Company, $10,000,000 (Ten Million Dollars) of Common Stock (the “Investment Amount”) at the IPO Price; provided, however, that if the IPO Price exceeds the highest point of the price range (the “Maximum Price”) set forth in the Registration Statement which includes the preliminary prospectus filed with the SEC in connection with the IPO, then the Investor shall purchase the Investment Amount at the Maximum Price (such purchase price per share to be paid by the Investor pursuant to this sentence, the “Per Share Purchase Price”). The number of shares of Common Stock to be sold by the Company and purchased by the Investor hereunder (the “Shares”) shall equal the number of shares determined by dividing the Investment Amount by the Per Share Purchase Price (rounded down to the nearest whole share). Payment of the aggregate purchase price for the Shares (the “Purchase Price”) shall be made at the Closing (as defined below) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified in writing by the Company to the Investor, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Agreement. Payment of the Purchase Price for the Shares shall be made against delivery to the Investor of the Shares, which Shares shall be uncertificated and shall be registered in the name of the Investor on the books of the Company by the Company’s transfer agent.

1.2. Closing. The closing of the sale and purchase of the Shares (the “Closing”) will take place remotely via the exchange of documents and signatures after the satisfaction or waiver of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4 (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the fulfillment or waiver of those conditions) concurrently with the closing of the IPO.


2. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Investor that the following representations are true and correct as of the date hereof and as of the Closing (except to the extent any such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties are true and correct as of such earlier date). “Registration Statement” means the registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-195409), including any prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), and any free writing prospectuses, relating to the IPO.

The Company is, and following the Conversion will be, duly qualified to transact business in each jurisdiction in which it conducts its business, except where failure to be so qualified would not reasonably be expected to result, either individually or in the aggregate, in a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, business or operations.

2.2. Registration Statement. The Registration Statement and any prospectus contained therein will not, as of the filing date of such Registration Statement, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

2.3. Authorization. All limited liability company or corporate, as applicable, action on the part of the Company, its officers, directors and shareholders necessary for the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement, the performance of all obligations of the Company hereunder, and the authorization, issuance, sale and delivery of the Shares has been taken or will be taken prior to the Closing, and this Agreement constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (a) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and (b) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies.

2.4. Valid Issuance of Shares. The Shares that are being purchased by the Investor hereunder, when issued, sold and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement for the consideration expressed herein, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable, and will be transferred to the Investor free of liens, encumbrances and restrictions on transfer other than (a) restrictions on transfer under applicable state and federal securities laws, (b) restrictions on transfer under the Lock-Up Agreement (as hereinafter defined), and (c) any liens, encumbrances or restrictions on transfer that are created or imposed by the Investor. Subject in part to the truth and accuracy of the Investor’s representations set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement, the offer, sale and issuance of the Shares as contemplated by this Agreement are exempt from the registration requirements of applicable state and federal securities laws.

2.5. Non-Contravention. No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any federal, state or local governmental authority on the part of the Company is required in connection with the consummation of the sale and issuance of Shares contemplated by this Agreement, except for the filing of notices of the sale of Shares pursuant to Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The Company is not, and following the Conversion will not be, in violation or default in any material respect of any provision of its certificate of formation, operating agreement, certificate of incorporation or bylaws, as applicable, or of any instrument, judgment, order, writ or decree to which it is a party or by which it is bound, or, to its knowledge, of any provision of any federal or state statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company, except for such violations or defaults of any federal or state statute, rule or regulation that would not reasonably be expected to result, either individually or in the aggregate, in a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, business or operations. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not result in any such violation or constitute, with or without the passage of time and giving of notice, either (i) a default in

 

- 2 -


any material respect of any such instrument, judgment, order, writ or decree or (ii) an event that results in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any assets of the Company or the suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture, or nonrenewal of any material permit, license, authorization or approval applicable to the Company, in each case, which would reasonably be expected to result, either individually or in the aggregate, in a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, business or operations.

2.6. Underwriting Agreement. Upon the execution of the Underwriting Agreement by the Company and the Underwriters, the Company hereby makes the same representations and warranties to the Investor that the Company makes to the Underwriters in the Underwriting Agreement.

2.7 No Material Adverse Change. Since the date of this Agreement, there has been no change, event, condition or development that has had, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, business or operations.

3. Representations and Warranties of the Investor. The Investor hereby represents and warrants to the Company that the following representations are true and correct as of the date hereof and as of the Closing (except to the extent any such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties are true and correct as of such earlier date):

3.1. Authorization. Such Investor has all requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement, and such agreement constitutes its valid and legally binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms except (a) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and (b) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies.

3.2. Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made with such Investor in reliance upon such Investor’s representations to the Company, which by such Investor’s execution of this Agreement such Investor hereby confirms, that the Shares acquired by such Investor hereunder will be acquired for investment for such Investor’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that such Investor has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. By executing this Agreement, such Investor further represents that such Investor does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participation rights to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Shares.

3.3. No Solicitation. At no time was such Investor presented with or solicited by any publicly issued or circulated newspaper, mail, radio, television or other form of general advertising or solicitation in connection with the offer, sale and purchase of the Shares.

3.4. Disclosure of Information. Such Investor has received or has had full access to all the information it considers necessary or appropriate to make an informed investment decision with respect to the Shares to be purchased by such Investor under this Agreement. Such Investor further has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Shares and to obtain additional information (to the extent the Company possessed such information or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense) necessary to verify any information furnished to such Investor or to which such Investor had access. The foregoing, however, does not in any way limit or modify the representations and warranties made by the Company in Section 2.

3.5. Investment Experience. Such Investor understands that the purchase of the Shares involves substantial risk. Such Investor: (a) has experience as an investor in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that such Investor is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of such Investor’s investment in the Shares and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that such Investor is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of this investment in the Shares and protecting its own interests in connection with this investment; and/or (b) has a preexisting personal or business relationship with the Company and certain of its officers, directors or controlling persons of a nature and duration that enables such Investor to be aware of the character, business acumen and financial circumstances of such persons. Such Investor represents that the office in which its investment decision was made is located at the address set forth in Section 7.5.

3.6. Accredited Investor. Such Investor is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

3.7. Restricted Securities. Such Investor understands that the Shares are characterized as “restricted securities” under the Securities Act inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under the Securities Act and applicable regulations thereunder such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, such Investor represents that such Investor is familiar with Rule 144 of the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.

6. Other Rights and Obligations of the Parties.

6.1. Registration Rights.

(a) Demand Registration.

(i) Subject to the conditions of this Section 6.1(a), if the Company shall receive a written request from the Investor that the Company file a registration statement under the Securities Act, on Form S-1, Form S-3, or any successor form thereto, covering the registration of the Shares, then the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible, effect the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities (as defined below) that the Investor has requested to be registered.

(ii) If the Investor intends to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by its request by means of an underwriting, the Investor shall so advise the Company as part of its request made pursuant to this Section 6.1(a). In such case, each of the Company and the Investor shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company (which underwriter or underwriters shall be reasonably acceptable to the Investor). If the underwriter advises the Company that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of securities to be underwritten (including Registrable Securities) then the Company shall so advise the Investor, and the number of shares that may be included in the underwriting shall be reduced accordingly; provided, however, that the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be included in such underwriting and registration shall not be reduced unless all other securities of the Company are first entirely excluded from the underwriting and registration. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from the registration.

(iii) The Company shall not be required to effect a registration pursuant to this Section 6.1(a):

 

  (A) prior to 180 days following the IPO;

 

  (B) after the Company has effected one (1) registration pursuant to this Section 6.1(a) and such registration has been declared or ordered effective;

 

  (C) if, within thirty (30) days of receipt of a written request from the Investor pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(i), the Company gives notice to the Investor of the Company’s intention to file a registration statement within ninety (90) days, other than pursuant to a Special Registration Statement; or

 

- 5 -


  (D) if the Company shall furnish to the Investor a certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such registration statement to be effected at such time, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than forty-five (45) days after receipt of the request of the Investor; provided, that such right to delay a request shall be exercised by the Company not more than once in any twelve (12) month period.

(b) Piggyback Registrations.

(i) For so long as the Investor holds Registrable Securities, the Company shall notify the Investor in writing at least fifteen (15) days prior to the filing of any registration statement under the Securities Act for purposes of a public offering of securities of the Company (including, but not limited to, registration statements relating to secondary offerings of securities of the Company, but excluding Special Registration Statements) and will afford the Investor the opportunity to include in such registration statement all or part of such Registrable Securities held by the Investor. If the Investor desires to include in any such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities held by it, the Investor shall, within fifteen (15) days after the above-described notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing. Such notice shall state the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities by the Investor. If the Investor decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities in any registration statement thereafter filed by the Company, such Investor shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent registration statement or registration statements as may be filed by the Company with respect to offerings of its securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

(ii) If the registration statement of which the Company gives notice under this Section 6.1(b) is for an underwritten offering, the Company shall so advise the Investor. In such event, the right of the Investor to include Registrable Securities in a registration pursuant to this Section 6.1(b) shall be conditioned upon its participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of its Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. Each of the Company and the Investor shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the underwriter determines in good faith that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the number of shares that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated, first, to the Company; second, to the Investor; provided, however, that no such reduction shall reduce the amount of securities of the Investor included in the registration below twenty five percent (25%) of the total amount of securities included in such registration.

(iii) The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 6.1(b) whether or not the Investor has elected to include securities in such registration, and shall promptly notify the Investor, if it has elected to include shares in such registration of such termination or withdrawal.

(c) Expenses. All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registrations pursuant to this Section 6.1 shall be borne by the Company. The Investor shall pay the fees and disbursements of its own counsel in connection with any registration pursuant to this Section 6.1, provided, however, that the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of the Investor’s counsel in any such registration pursuant to this Section 6.1 in an amount not to exceed $25,000 (Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars). All Selling Expenses incurred in connection with any registrations pursuant to this Section 6.1 shall be borne by the Investor.

(d) No Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights granted to the Investor pursuant to this Section 6.1 may not be assigned, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the Company.

(e) Indemnification by the Company. If underwriters are engaged in connection with any registration referred to in Section 6.1, the Company shall provide indemnification, representations, covenants, opinions and other assurances to the underwriters in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such underwriters and the Company. In the event of a registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Investor, its directors and officers, and each person, if any, who controls the Investor within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and any agent thereof (collectively, “Indemnified Persons”), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, costs (including reasonable costs of preparation and reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses, judgments, fines, penalties, interest, settlements or other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which any Indemnified Person may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, under the Securities Act or otherwise (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, arising out of, based upon or resulting from any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the registration statement, the related prospectus, preliminary prospectus or free writing prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of, are based upon or resulting from the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case or to any Indemnified Person to the extent that any such Loss arises out of, is based upon or results from an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in reliance upon or in conformity with information furnished by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person in writing specifically for use in the preparation of the registration statement, the related prospectus, preliminary prospectus or free writing prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person, and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such Investor.

The Company will file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder, and the Company will take such further action as the Investor may reasonably request to the extent required from time to time to enable the Investor following the IPO to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (i) Rules 144, 144A or Regulation S under the Securities Act, as such rules may be amended from time to time, or (ii) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the request of the Investor, the Company will deliver to the Investor a written statement as to whether the Company has complied with the filing requirements set forth in the preceding sentence and, if not, the specifics thereof.

6.4. Integration. The Company shall not sell, offer for sale, solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any “security” (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that could be integrated with the offer or sale of the Shares to the Investor in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Shares to the Investor or result in any violation of the Securities Act.

6.5 Publicity. The Company shall not issue any such press release or otherwise make any public statement or disclosure regarding the transaction contemplated by this Agreement without the prior consent of the Investor, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, conditioned or delayed, except if such disclosure is required by law, in which case the Company shall promptly provide the Investor with prior written notice of such public statement or disclosure.
