PROXY STATEMENT

The Board of Directors of Kinsale Capital Group, Inc. (the “Company,” the “Board,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is soliciting your proxy to vote at the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders to be held at 10:30 a.m., Eastern Daylight Time, on May 21, 2026, and any adjournment or postponement of that meeting (the “Annual Meeting”).

The Annual Meeting will be held at The Commonwealth Club, 401 W. Franklin Street, Richmond, VA 23220. A Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Proxy Notice”), containing instructions on how to access this Proxy Statement and our Annual Report to Stockholders online, was mailed to stockholders on or about April 9, 2026. On that date, we also began mailing a full set of proxy materials to those stockholders who had previously requested paper copies of our proxy materials.

If you received the Proxy Notice by mail, you will not automatically receive a printed copy of the proxy materials or our Annual Report to Stockholders. Instead, the Proxy Notice instructs you how you may access this information online and instructs you how you may submit your proxy. If you would like to receive a printed copy of our proxy materials, including our Annual Report to Stockholders, you should follow the instructions for requesting such materials included in the Proxy Notice.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE PROXY MATERIALS
AND THE ANNUAL MEETING

Why am I receiving these materials?

We are providing these proxy materials to you in connection with the solicitation, by the Board, of proxies to be voted at our Annual Meeting and at any adjournment or postponement thereof. You are receiving this Proxy Statement because you were a Company stockholder as of the close of business on the Record Date. This Proxy Statement provides notice of the Annual Meeting, describes the proposals presented for stockholder action and includes information required to be disclosed to stockholders.

How do I obtain electronic access to the Annual Report to Stockholders and proxy materials?

This Proxy Statement and our Annual Report to Stockholders are available at https://materials.proxyvote.com/49714P. If you are a stockholder of record, you may elect to receive future annual reports or proxy statements electronically by so indicating on our proxy voting website at www.proxyvote.com or on your proxy card. If you hold your shares in “street name,” you should contact your broker, bank or other intermediary for information regarding electronic delivery of proxy materials.

An election to receive proxy materials electronically will remain in effect for all future annual meetings unless revoked. Stockholders requesting electronic delivery may incur costs, such as telephone and Internet access charges, that must be borne by the stockholder.

What proposals will be voted on at the Annual Meeting?

There are three proposals scheduled to be voted on at the Annual Meeting:

•Proposal 1: To elect the nine directors identified in this Proxy Statement to serve a one-year term until the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders;

•Proposal 2: To hold an advisory vote on executive compensation;

•Proposal 3: To ratify the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2026 and

•Such other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement of the Annual Meeting.

What is the Board’s voting recommendation?

The Board recommends that you vote your shares:

•“FOR” the election of the nine directors identified in this Proxy Statement to serve a one-year term until the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders;

•“FOR” the approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of our executive officers; and

•“FOR” the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2026.

What shares owned by me can be voted?

All shares owned by you as of the Record Date, which is the close of business on March 27, 2026, may be voted by you. These shares include shares that are:

• held directly in your name as the stockholder of record and

• held for you as the beneficial owner through a broker, bank or other nominee.

Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?

All stockholders who owned shares of our common stock as of the Record Date, which is the close of business on March 27, 2026, may vote at the Annual Meeting, either in person or by proxy. Each common stockholder is entitled to one vote on each matter properly brought before the Annual Meeting. On the Record Date, we had approximately 23,057,896 shares of our common stock outstanding and entitled to vote.

What is the difference between holding shares as a stockholder of record and as a beneficial owner?

Many of our stockholders hold their shares through a broker, bank or other nominee rather than directly in their own name. As summarized below, there are some differences between shares held of record and those owned beneficially.

Stockholder of Record. If your shares are registered directly in your name with the transfer agent of our common stock, Computershare Inc. (“Computershare”), you are considered, with respect to

those shares, the stockholder of record. As the stockholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to certain officers or to vote in person at the Annual Meeting. You may vote by phone, via the Internet, or, if you have received a printed copy of these proxy materials by mail, by signing, dating, and returning your proxy card in the prepaid envelope provided.

Beneficial Owner. If your shares are held in an account at a broker, bank or other intermediary, like many of our stockholders, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name.” As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other intermediary how to vote your shares, and you are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting.

Since a beneficial owner is not the stockholder of record, you may not vote your shares in person at the Annual Meeting unless you obtain a “legal proxy” from the broker, bank, or other intermediary that is the stockholder of record of your shares giving you the right to vote the shares at the Annual Meeting. If you do not wish to vote in person or you will not be attending the Annual Meeting, you may vote by proxy. If available, you may also vote by proxy on the Internet or by phone. Your broker, bank or other intermediary mailed you a proxy notice or proxy card with voting instructions.

How can I vote my shares in person at the Annual Meeting?

Stockholders of record and beneficial owners as of the Record Date may vote in person at the Annual Meeting. If you choose to vote your shares in person at the Annual Meeting, please bring proof of ownership of our common stock on the Record Date, such as a proxy card or the legal proxy, voting instruction card provided by your broker, bank or other intermediary, as well as proof of identification. Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we recommend that you vote your shares in advance as described below so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the Annual Meeting.

How can I vote my shares without attending the Annual Meeting?

Whether you hold your shares directly as the stockholder of record or beneficially in “street name,” you may direct your vote without attending the Annual Meeting by proxy. If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote via the Internet at www.proxyvote.com, or, if you have received a printed copy of these proxy materials by mail, you may vote by phone or by signing, dating, and returning your proxy card in the prepaid envelope provided. If you are a beneficial owner, you should follow the voting instructions provided by your broker, bank or other intermediary. Mailed proxy cards must be received no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on May 20, 2026 in order to be counted for the annual meeting.

What is the quorum requirement for the Annual Meeting?

A quorum is necessary to hold a valid Annual Meeting. A quorum exists if the holders of a majority of our capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat are present in person or represented by proxy. Both abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum. Broker non-votes, however, are not counted as shares present and entitled to be voted with respect to the particular matter on which the broker has expressly not voted. Thus, a broker non-vote will not impact our ability to obtain a quorum and will not otherwise affect the outcome of the vote on a proposal that requires the approval of a majority of the votes present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote (Proposals 1, 2 and 3).

Generally, broker non-votes occur when shares held by a broker for a beneficial owner are not voted with respect to a particular proposal because (1) the broker has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner and (2) the broker lacks discretionary voting power to vote such shares.

What happens if I do not give specific voting instructions?

If your shares are held in “street name” and you do not instruct your broker on how to vote your shares, your broker, in its discretion, may either leave your shares unvoted or vote your shares on routine matters. Only Proposal 3 (Ratification of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm) is considered a routine matter. If your broker returns a proxy card but does not vote your shares, this results in a “broker non-vote.” Broker non-votes will be counted as present for the purpose of determining a quorum. For routine matters, any shares represented by proxies that are marked to “ABSTAIN” from voting on a proposal will be counted as present in determining whether we have a quorum. They will also be counted in determining the total number of shares entitled to vote on a routine matter.

What is the vote required for each proposal?


Proposal	Vote Required	Broker Discretionary Voting Allowed
Proposal 1 - Election of nine directors	Majority of the Shares Entitled to Vote and Present in Person or Represented by Proxy	No
Proposal 2 - Advisory vote on executive compensation	Majority of the Shares Entitled to Vote and Present in Person or Represented by Proxy	No



Proposal 3 - Ratification of independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2026	Majority of the Shares Entitled to Vote and Present in Person or Represented by Proxy	Yes

With respect to Proposals 1, 2, and 3 you may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN.” If you “ABSTAIN” from voting on any of these proposals, the abstention will have the same effect as an “AGAINST” vote.

If you sign your proxy card or broker voting instruction card with no further instructions, your shares will be voted as described above in “What happens if I do not give specific voting instructions?”

Proposals 1 and 2 are not considered routine matters, and without your instruction, your broker cannot vote your shares. Because brokers do not have discretionary authority to vote on these proposals, broker non-votes will not be considered in determining the number of votes necessary for approval and, therefore, will have no effect on the outcome of the votes for these proposals. However, broker non-votes will be treated as shares present for purposes of determining a quorum at the Annual Meeting.

What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy or voting instruction card?

It means your shares are registered differently or are in more than one account. Please provide voting instructions for all proxy and voting instruction cards you receive.

Who will count the vote?

A representative of Broadridge will tabulate the votes and act as the inspector of election.

Can I revoke my proxy or change my vote?

Yes. You may revoke your proxy or change your voting instructions prior to the vote at the annual meeting. You may enter a new vote by mailing a new proxy card or new voting instruction card bearing a later date (which will automatically revoke your earlier voting instructions). Your new vote must be received by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on May 20, 2026. You may also enter a new vote by attending the annual meeting and voting in person. Your attendance at the annual meeting in person will not cause your previously granted proxy to be revoked unless you specifically so request.

Who will bear the cost of soliciting votes for the Annual Meeting?

We will pay the entire cost of preparing, assembling, printing, mailing and distributing these proxy materials. In addition to the mailing of these proxy materials, the solicitation of proxies or votes may be made in person, by telephone or by electronic transmission by our directors, officers and employees, who will not receive any additional compensation for such solicitation activities. In addition, we may reimburse the transfer agent, brokerage firms and other persons representing beneficial owners of shares of our common stock for their expenses in forwarding solicitation material to such beneficial owners.

Where may I request a separate copy of this Proxy Statement or the Annual Report to Stockholders if I share an address with other stockholders?

To reduce expenses, in some cases, we are delivering one set of proxy materials to certain stockholders who share an address, unless otherwise requested by one or more of the stockholders. A separate proxy card will be included with the proxy materials for each stockholder. Any stockholder of record who wishes to receive a separate copy of this Proxy Statement or our Annual Report to Stockholders as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) without charge may (i) call us at 804-289-1272 or (ii) mail a request to: Kinsale Capital Group, Inc., 2025 Staples Mill Road, Richmond, VA 23230, Attention: Secretary, and we will promptly deliver the requested materials to you at no additional cost to you. You may also obtain our Annual Report to Stockholders, as well as this Proxy Statement, on the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov), or on our website at http://ir.kinsalecapitalgroup.com.

Is my vote confidential?

Yes. We encourage stockholder participation in corporate governance by ensuring the confidentiality of stockholder votes. We have designated Broadridge to receive and tabulate stockholder votes. Your vote on any particular proposal will be kept confidential and will not be disclosed to us or any of our officers or employees except (i) where disclosure is required by applicable law, (ii) where disclosure of your vote is expressly requested by you or (iii) where we conclude in good faith that a bona fide dispute exists as to the authenticity of one or more proxies, ballots or votes, or as to the accuracy of any tabulation of such proxies, ballots or votes. However, aggregate vote totals will be disclosed to us from time to time and publicly announced at the Annual Meeting.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth information as of March 27, 2026, unless otherwise indicated, regarding the beneficial ownership of shares of our common stock by (1) each person (including any group as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of our common stock, (2) each of our directors and director nominees, (3) each of our named executive officers, and (4) all of our directors and executive officers as a group. Unless otherwise indicated, the address for each person named below is c/o Kinsale Capital Group, Inc., 2025 Staples Mill Road, Richmond, Virginia 23230.

The amounts and percentages owned are reported on the basis of the SEC’s rules governing the determination of beneficial ownership of securities. Under these rules, a person is deemed to be a beneficial owner of a security if that person has or shares voting or investment power, which includes the power to dispose such security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any securities the person has the right to acquire within 60 days. These securities are deemed to be outstanding for purposes of computing that person's ownership percentage, but not for purposes of computing any other person’s ownership percentage. Under these rules, more than one person may be deemed a beneficial owner of the same securities. Computations are based on 23,057,896 shares of our common stock outstanding as of March 27, 2026.

PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

At the Annual Meeting, our stockholders will be asked to consider nine nominees for election to the Board to serve a one-year term until the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders.

As disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on February 4, 2026, Mr. Russell notified the Company that he does not intend to stand for re-election when his current term expires at the upcoming Annual Meeting, and the Board anticipates that it will reduce the size of the Board from ten to nine members effective May 21, 2026.

The names of the nine nominees for director, their current positions and offices, tenure as a Company director, and their board committee memberships are set forth in the table below. All of the nominees are current Company directors and have been determined by the Board to be independent, with the exception of Mr. Kehoe and Mr. Haney. The Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board (the “CNCG Committee”) has reviewed the qualifications of each of the nominees and has recommended to the Board that each nominee be submitted to a vote of our stockholders at the Annual Meeting. The Board unanimously approved the CNCG Committee’s recommendation at its meeting on February 18, 2026.

The Board expects each nominee to be able to serve if elected. If a nominee is unable to serve, your proxy may be voted for any substitute candidate nominated by the Board. In accordance with our current Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated By-Laws (“By-Laws”), the nine nominees receiving the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be elected for a one-year term.

(1) Indicates the total market value of common shares, restricted stock and stock options held by a director based on the closing price of our common stock on March 27, 2026.

The following is additional information about each of the nominees as of the date of this Proxy Statement.

Michael P. Kehoe has served as our Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer since March 2026, and before that, as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer since March 2024. Prior to becoming Chairman of the Board, Mr. Kehoe served as President and Chief Executive Officer from June 2009 to March 2024. From 2002 to 2008, Mr. Kehoe was the President and Chief Executive Officer at James River Insurance Company and previously served in various senior positions at Colony Insurance Company from 1994 to 2002, finishing as Vice President of Brokerage Underwriting. Mr. Kehoe earned a B.A. in Economics from Hampden-Sydney College and a J.D. from the University of Richmond School of Law.

We believe Mr. Kehoe’s qualifications to serve on the Board include his over 30 years of underwriting, claims and executive experience in the property and casualty industry.

Steven J. Bensinger has served as one of our directors since July 2015. Mr. Bensinger currently serves as Senior Advisor with Howden Re, formerly Howden Tiger, a privately-held reinsurance broker, strategic and risk capital advisor to the insurance industry. Prior to joining Howden Re in October 2015, Mr. Bensinger was a Senior Managing Director at FTI Consulting in its Global Insurance Services Practice.

He was appointed Vice Chairman, Financial Services, in May 2008 in addition to retaining Chief Financial Officer responsibilities. Mr. Bensinger has also held senior positions with Combined Specialty Group, Inc. (Aon), Chartwell Re Corporation, Skandia America Corporation and Coopers & Lybrand, a predecessor firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers. Mr. Bensinger is a director of Accredited Global, Inc., Clearcover Insurance Company, The Doctors Company, and Ariel Re Holdings Limited. He earned a B.S. from New York University’s Leonard N. Stern School of Business.

We believe Mr. Bensinger’s qualifications to serve on the Board include his more than 30 years of experience in the insurance industry and his financial and business acumen, which have provided him with significant expertise in our area of business.

Teresa P. Chia has served as one of our directors since January 2021. Ms. Chia is currently the Managing Partner of Post Mills Capital, Inc., an advisory firm she founded in March 2021 to provide strategic guidance to growth-oriented businesses in the insurance, financial services, and technology sectors.

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” ALL NOMINEES TO SERVE AS DIRECTORS.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Board of Directors

The Board currently consists of ten directors. At the Annual Meeting, nominated directors will be elected to a one-year term until the next annual meeting of stockholders.

Board Leadership Structure

Our By-Laws provide flexibility to the Board in choosing a Chair of the Board and a Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) by providing that such offices may be held by different people or the same person, as determined by the Board. This flexibility allows the Board to determine whether it is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders to combine the roles of CEO and Chair of the Board in the same person. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines (the “Guidelines”) provide for the position of Lead Independent Director when the Chair of the Board is not an independent director as defined under “Director Independence.”

During 2023, the Board evaluated its current leadership structure and determined that a combined role of Chairman and CEO, counterbalanced by a strong independent Board and headed by a Lead Independent Director, is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. As a result, the Board appointed Michael P. Kehoe, our CEO, to the additional office of Chairman of the Board, effective March 1, 2024. Robert Lippincott, III, formerly our Chairman of the Board, now serves as our Lead Independent Director. In the Board’s view, this structure allows Mr. Kehoe, as Chairman and CEO, to drive strategy and agenda setting at the Board level, while maintaining responsibility for executing on that strategy as CEO. At the same time, Mr. Lippincott will work with Mr. Kehoe to set the agenda for the Board and exercise additional oversight on behalf of the independent directors. In addition, the Board believes that combining the roles of Chairman and CEO is important to provide clarity on decision-making and accountability and facilitates effective development, articulation, and execution of a unified strategy. As Lead Independent Director, Mr. Lippincott serves as liaison between management and independent directors, facilitates discussion among independent directors during Board meetings and presides at executive sessions, among other responsibilities detailed in the Guidelines. The Board will continue to

review the appropriateness of this structure and consider stockholder feedback from our ongoing engagements.

Director Independence

The rules of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company’s audit, compensation, and nominating committees be independent. Audit committee members must also satisfy the independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act.

Under the rules of NYSE, a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if such person, in the opinion of that company’s board of directors, has no material relationship with the company, either directly or as an officer, partner or stockholder of a company that has a relationship with the company. To be considered to be independent for purposes of Rule 10A-3, a member of an audit committee of a listed company may not, other than in his or her capacity as a member of the audit committee, the board of directors, or any other board committee: (1) accept, directly or indirectly, any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the listed company or any of its subsidiaries; or (2) be an affiliated person of the listed company or any of its subsidiaries.

Except for Mr. Kehoe, who is Chairman, President and CEO, and Mr. Haney, who is Senior Advisor and the former President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company, all director nominees are independent within the meaning of the independent director guidelines of NYSE. In addition, all our Audit Committee and CNCG Committee members meet the independent director guidelines of NYSE. In assessing director independence, the Board took into account certain transactions, relationships, and arrangements involving certain directors and concluded that such transactions, relationships, and arrangements did not impair the independence of such directors.

Director Attendance

Each director attended at least 75% of the aggregate meetings of the Board and committees that he or she served on during 2025 while he or she was in office.

The Board held four meetings and acted thirteen times by unanimous consent during 2025.

The Company does not have a policy about directors’ attendance at our annual meetings of stockholders. All director nominees and directors at the time attended the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Committees of the Board

We have three standing committees of the Board: the Audit Committee; the CNCG Committee; and the Investment Committee.

Audit Committee

Our Audit Committee consists of Mr. Bensinger, who serves as Chair, Ms. Chia and Ms. Fortin. NYSE listing rules require each company to have an audit committee of at least three members. Each member of the Audit Committee must meet independence standards under NYSE listing rules and SEC Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act. The Board has determined that each Mr. Bensinger, Ms. Chia and Ms. Fortin meets these independence standards. Additionally, the Board has determined that Mr. Bensinger and Ms. Fortin qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” as such term is defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K, and possess financial literacy as defined under NYSE listing rules.

The Audit Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities relating to:

•the quality and integrity of our financial statements and our financial reporting process;

•the qualifications, performance and independence of our independent registered public accounting firm;

•the scope, progress and results of our independent registered public accounting firm’s audit plan;

•the adequacy and effectiveness of our systems of internal accounting and financial controls; and

•our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.

In so doing, the Audit Committee is responsible for maintaining free and open communication between the committee, our independent registered public accounting firm and our management. In this role, the Audit Committee is empowered to investigate any matter brought to its attention with full access to all books, records, facilities and personnel of our Company and has the power to retain outside counsel or other experts for this purpose.

The Audit Committee has direct responsibility for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of our independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee meets in executive session with the independent registered public accounting firm at least quarterly. For further information, the Audit Committee charter may be accessed at http://ir.kinsalecapitalgroup.com.

The Audit Committee held eight meetings during 2025.

Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

The CNCG Committee consists of Mr. Share, who serves as Chair, and Messrs. Hatcher and Lippincott. Each committee member must be an independent director as defined under NYSE listing rules. The Board has determined that each of the committee members meets these independence standards.

The CNCG Committee assists the Board with reviewing the performance of our management in achieving corporate goals and objectives and assuring that our executives are compensated effectively in a manner consistent with our strategy, competitive practice and the requirements of appropriate regulatory bodies. Toward that end, the CNCG Committee, among other responsibilities, reviews goals and objectives of the Company’s executive compensation plans, incentive compensation and equity-based compensation plans, and employee benefit plans. From time to time, the CNCG Committee may form subcommittees, consisting of no fewer than two members, and delegate such power and authority as deemed appropriate. The CNCG Committee also assists the Board by:

•identifying individuals qualified to become board members;

•recommending to the Board the director nominees for the next annual meeting of stockholders;

•leading the Board in its annual review of performance and effectiveness;

•evaluating annually the performance of the CEO and other executive officers in light of the goals and objectives of the Company’s executive compensation plans and determine and approve, or make recommendations to the Board with respect to these executives’ compensation levels based on this evaluation;

•developing succession plans for the CEO and other senior management positions for recommendation to the Board;

•evaluating annually the level of compensation for directors and making recommendations to the Board; and

•monitoring compliance with the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to the Board.

Mr. Kehoe, our Chairman of the Board, President and CEO, provides the CNCG Committee with his perspective on the performance of other executive officers and certain other senior officers of the Company, and presents compensation recommendations. The CNCG Committee considers recommendations from Mr. Kehoe in its review of executive officer compensation. In addition, Mr. Kehoe is involved in setting the business goals that are used as the performance goals for the bonus incentive plan, subject to Board approval.

The CNCG Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, and oversight of the work of any compensation consultant, legal counsel, or other adviser that it retains. The Company bears all expenses of such service providers. In 2025, the CNCG Committee engaged Semler Brossy, an independent compensation consulting firm, to assist in the review and development of the Company’s 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan. Semler Brossy did not provide other services for the Company or the CNCG Committee in 2025.

Our CNCG Committee identifies individuals qualified to become board members, assists the Board in reviewing the backgrounds and qualifications of individuals being considered as director candidates, and recommends to the Board the director nominees for election by the stockholders, or appointment by the Board.

While the CNCG Committee has not adopted minimum criteria, it considers several qualifications when considering candidates for the Board. Among attributes the CNCG Committee takes into account are: experience, skills, expertise, diversity, personal and professional integrity, character, business judgment, time availability, dedication, conflicts of interest and such other relevant factors that the CNCG Committee considers appropriate in the context of the needs of the Board. The CNCG Committee may also take into account legal and regulatory independence requirements. The CNCG Committee selects candidates who have a mix of experiences and backgrounds that will enhance the quality of the Board’s interactions and decisions. The CNCG Committee has the sole authority to retain or terminate any search firm to be used to identify director candidates and the sole authority to approve the search firm’s fees and other retention terms, such as fees to be borne by the Company.

The CNCG Committee will consider candidates recommended by stockholders for consideration as directors on the same basis it evaluates other candidates. For details on how stockholders may submit nominations for directors, see “Additional Information - Requirements for Stockholder Proposals to be Brought Before Next Year’s Annual Meeting.”

For further information, the CNCG Committee charter may be accessed at

http://ir.kinsalecapitalgroup.com.

The CNCG Committee held four meetings and acted six times by unanimous consent during 2025.

Investment Committee

Our Investment Committee consists of Ms. Kronenberg, who serves as Chair, and Messrs. Kehoe and Russell. As previously discussed, Mr. Russell has decided not to stand for re-election to the Board and will no longer be a member of the Investment Committee when his term expires at the upcoming Annual Meeting. The Investment Committee is appointed by the Board to assist in discharging the Board’s responsibilities in establishing and overseeing the Company’s investment policies and strategies and the implementation of such policies and strategies including the performance of our investment managers.

The Investment Committee held four meetings during 2025.

Corporate Governance Guidelines and Committee Charters

The Board has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines and written charters for the Audit Committee and the CNCG Committee. Current copies of the Guidelines and the written charters for each of these committees are available on the Company’s website, http://ir.kinsalecapitalgroup.com.

As part of our corporate governance guidelines, our non-employee directors meet in executive session, without management, at each regularly scheduled board meeting. The Lead Independent Director presides over these executive sessions.

Risk Management Oversight

The Board oversees the risk management activities designed and implemented by our management. Our senior management is responsible for assessing and managing our risks on a day-to-day basis. The Board executes its oversight responsibility for risk management both directly and through its committees. The Board considers specific risk topics, including risks associated with our strategic plan, business operations, capital structure and cybersecurity. In addition, the Board receives detailed regular reports from members of our senior management and other personnel that include assessments and potential mitigation of the risks and exposures involved with their respective areas of responsibility.

The Board has delegated to the Audit Committee oversight of our risk management process. Our Audit Committee oversees and reviews with management our policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management and our significant operational, financial, information technology and regulatory exposures, among others, and the actions management has taken to limit, monitor or control such exposures. Additionally, the Audit Committee is responsible for oversight of the financial reporting process and internal control, including reviewing our annual and interim financial statements. The Board has delegated to the CNCG Committee the oversight of risk related to compensation policies. Our CNCG Committee also considers and addresses risk as it performs its responsibilities. Both standing committees report to the full Board as appropriate, including when a matter rises to the level of a material or enterprise-level risk.

Cybersecurity Risk Management

The Board is responsible for oversight over the Company’s cybersecurity risk management. The Company’s Chief Information Officer (“CIO”) along with the head of the Company’s information security function, present at least semi-annually to the Board on cybersecurity risks and the Company’s strategies and actions to assess and manage those risks. The Company’s information security function, which operates under general oversight of the Company’s CIO, is responsible for day-to-day assessment

and management of cybersecurity risks, including efforts to prevent and, if necessary, mitigate the effects of a cybersecurity incident.

Stockholder Communications with the Board

Stockholders and interested parties may communicate with the Board by sending correspondence to the Board, a specific committee of the Board, or a director at: Kinsale Capital Group, Inc., Attn: Secretary, 2025 Staples Mill Road, Richmond, VA 23230. The communication must prominently display the legend “BOARD COMMUNICATION” in order to indicate to the Secretary that it is a communication for the Board.

Our Secretary reviews all communications to determine whether the contents include a message to a director and will provide a summary and copies of all correspondence (other than solicitations for services, products or publications) to the applicable director or directors at each regularly scheduled meeting. The Secretary will alert individual directors to items that warrant a prompt response from the individual director prior to the next regularly scheduled meeting. Items warranting prompt response, but not addressed to a specific director, will be routed to the applicable committee chairperson.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

None of the members of our CNCG Committee and none of our executive officers has had a relationship that would constitute an interlocking relationship with executive officers or directors of another entity or insider participating in compensation decisions.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

We have a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics applicable to our directors, officers and employees that complies with the requirements of applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and NYSE. This code is designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:

•honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;

•full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with, or submit to, the SEC and in other public communications made by us;

•compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations; and

•prompt internal reporting to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics of violations of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics; and accountability for adherence to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is available at http://ir.kinsalecapitalgroup.com. Any amendments to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics will be disclosed on our website.

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

We seek to closely align the interests of our NEOs with the interests of our stockholders. Our compensation programs are designed to reward our NEOs for the achievement of short-term and long-term strategic and operational goals, while at the same time discouraging unnecessary or excessive risk-taking.

Compensation Determination Process

The CNCG Committee is responsible for establishing, maintaining and overseeing our compensation and benefit policies.

Our CEO’s compensation is determined by the CNCG Committee, which approves any adjustments to his base salary, performance incentive compensation and equity awards from year to year. The CNCG Committee makes determinations regarding our CEO’s compensation independently and without him present. Our CEO attends portions of the CNCG Committee meetings, but does not attend portions of those meetings related to making specific decisions on his compensation.

The CNCG Committee relies significantly on the input and recommendations of our CEO when evaluating factors relative to the compensation of the other NEOs. In addition, our CEO is involved in helping the CNCG Committee to set the business goals that are used as the performance goals for the bonus incentive plan, subject to Board approval. Our CEO provides the CNCG Committee with his assessment of the performance of each NEO and his perspective on the factors described below in developing his recommendations for each NEO’s compensation, including salary adjustments, equity grants and incentive bonuses. The CNCG Committee discusses our CEO’s recommendations and then approves or modifies the recommendations in collaboration with the CEO.

In addition to recommendations put forth by our CEO, other members of our executive team are involved in the compensation process by assembling data to present to the CNCG Committee. Other members of our executive management team also occasionally attend portions of the CNCG Committee meetings.

Risk Assessments

With respect to risk related to compensation matters, the CNCG Committee considers, in establishing and reviewing the Company’s compensation program, whether the program encourages unnecessary or excessive risk taking. Executives’ base salaries are fixed in amount and thus do not encourage risk-taking. Bonuses are tied to overall corporate performance. A portion of compensation provided to the executive officers may be in the form of options, restricted stock units and restricted stock that are important to help further align executives’ interests with those of the Company’s stockholders. The CNCG Committee believes that our compensation program does not encourage unnecessary or excessive risk-taking.

Executive Compensation Program Elements

The Company’s primary emphasis in determining compensation is to align the interests of employees, including executive officers, with those of stockholders. We provide a level of fixed compensation and, to varying degrees based on career level, meaningful components of variable compensation based on the Company’s short- and long-term financial performance. NEOs’ individual performance is subjectively evaluated and their compensation is set at levels reasonably competitive with our understanding of compensation levels at other companies in the insurance industry. Our objective is to incentivize employees to think, operate and manage the business like owners. We design the mix of pay elements to most effectively support our strategic priorities of quality, growth and operational excellence. In 2025, our compensation consisted of the following components:

Base Salary

The CNCG Committee determined our NEOs’ base salary based on a number of factors, including:

•The nature, responsibilities and duties of the officer’s position;

•The officer’s expertise, demonstrated leadership ability and prior performance;

•The officer’s salary history and total compensation, including annual cash bonuses and long-term incentive compensation; and

•The competitiveness of the market for the officer’s services.

We intend for the base salaries of our NEOs to provide a minimum level of compensation for highly qualified executives. The base salaries of our NEOs are subject to modification based on an evaluation of each executive’s contribution, experience, responsibilities, external market data as well as the relative pay among senior executives at the Company. Each factor is considered on a discretionary basis without formulas or weights. We consider relative pay between executives because our perspective is that some consistency in pay emphasizes teamwork across the senior leadership level.

As part of its annual review of executive compensation, the CNCG Committee reviewed the base salaries of our NEOs, focusing on market competitiveness, business performance and individual performance. We operate in a highly competitive industry and have been successful in delivering profitable growth, making our employees, including NEOs, attractive to other employers in the labor market. We are proactive and deliberate in our compensation decisions to retain talented employees.

As a result, effective January 1, 2025, the CNCG Committee approved increases to the annual base salary of each of Messrs. Haney, Petrucelli and Beachy and Ms. Schnupp in the amount of $50,000. Effective January 1, 2026, the CNCG Committee approved increases to the annual base salary of each of Messrs. Kehoe, Petrucelli and Beachy in the amount of $50,000 and Ms. Schnupp in the amount of $25,000.

Annual Cash Incentive

All of our employees, including each NEO, are eligible to participate in our annual cash incentive program. Our annual cash incentive program is intended to directly link a portion of our employees’ compensation to the financial performance of our business during the current fiscal year, especially as it relates to the compensation of each NEO. Under the annual cash incentive program, the CNCG Committee approved the bonus pool calculation parameters for 2025, which is determined by calculating the amount that is equal to a specified percentage of actual underwriting profit in 2025. Actual underwriting profit is defined as earned premiums plus fee income less net loss and loss adjustment expenses and underwriting expenses, before any deduction for bonuses. The CNCG Committee selected actual underwriting profit as the basis for the bonus pool calculation because it believes it is a useful

metric to evaluate the Company’s results of operations and our underlying business performance, without regard to investment income.

The CNCG Committee oversees the bonus program, retains discretion in evaluating the individual performance component and approves the bonus payments for each NEO. Individual awards paid from the pool are determined based on a discretionary assessment of the individual’s performance for the year (which takes into account the target bonus for such individual, which is 150% of base salary for Mr. Kehoe, and 125% of base salary for Messrs. Haney, Petrucelli and Beachy and for Ms. Schnupp). Bonus awards are payable in cash by March 15th of the year following the performance year. Bonuses with respect to 2025 were paid to our CEO at approximately 181% of target level and to the other NEOs between approximately 185% and 213% of target level. Actual payouts exceeded targets as a result of the Company’s profitability relative to the CNCG Committee’s expectations. See “Executive Compensation - Summary Compensation Table” for amounts.

Equity Compensation

In connection with the completion of our IPO in July of 2016, we adopted the Kinsale Capital Group, Inc. 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2016 Incentive Plan”) which was effective until May 2025. On May 22, 2025, the Company's stockholders approved the Kinsale Capital Group, Inc. 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2025 Incentive Plan”), which replaced the 2016 Incentive Plan prior to its scheduled expiration in 2026. Our 2025 Incentive Plan provides for grant of options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and other share-based awards to our officers, employees, directors, independent contractors and consultants. These awards are an important part of our long-term incentive compensation program which we use in order to strengthen the commitment of such individuals to us, motivate them to faithfully and diligently perform their responsibilities and attract and retain competent and dedicated individuals whose efforts are expected to result in our long-term growth and profitability. All of our equity awards are subject to vesting conditions and require each executive to remain employed with the Company for a period of time or risk forfeiting the award, except in the event of certain terminations of employment. We granted stock options to our NEOs in 2016 in connection with our IPO and have granted restricted stock awards to our NEOs each year since 2018.

Stock options granted in connection with our IPO have a term of ten years and generally, upon an employee’s termination of employment with us, the employee will have 90 days following the date of such termination to exercise any vested options. If the employee’s termination is due to death or disability, as defined in the 2016 Incentive Plan, the employee or his/her estate, as applicable, may exercise vested options for six months. In no event will an employee be entitled to exercise the option after its original expiration date. All options will be forfeited if an employee’s employment is terminated for cause.

Restricted stock awards granted to employees vest 25% annually for four years following the date of grant. All unvested restricted stock awards are forfeited if employment is terminated prior to the vesting date for any reason other than due to death or disability. If employment terminates prior to the vesting date due to death or disability, as defined in the 2016 Incentive Plan or 2025 Incentive Plan, as applicable, all unvested restricted stock awards will fully vest as of the termination date. During the period until the restricted stock awards are vested, the grantee has all the rights of a stockholder, including the right to vote the underlying shares of common stock. Any dividends associated with the restricted stock awards will be paid at the time such shares vest, and will not be paid if the shares do not vest.

See “Executive Compensation” for more information on options and restricted stock awards outstanding.

Retirement and Other Benefits

All of our employees are eligible to participate in broad-based and comprehensive employee benefit programs, including medical, dental, vision, life and disability insurance, a 401(k) plan and a health savings account (HSA) plan. Our NEOs are eligible to participate in these plans generally on the same

basis as our other employees. We do not sponsor or maintain any deferred compensation or supplemental retirement plans in addition to our 401(k) plan. Our 401(k) plan provides substantially all employees with the ability to make pre- or post-tax retirement contributions in accordance with applicable IRS limits. Matching contributions are provided in an amount equal to 100% of the first 6% of elective contributions by the employee. The 401(k) plan matching contributions provided to our NEOs in 2025, 2024, and 2023 are reflected in the “Executive Compensation - Summary Compensation Table” section under the “All Other Compensation” column heading.

Executive Stock Ownership Guidelines

The Board believes it is important that key executive officers have meaningful equity ownership in the Company to align such executives’ individual interests with the interests of stockholders. As a result, the CNCG Committee adopted executive stock ownership guidelines during 2020. The value of all shares owned outright or beneficially by the executive (or his or her immediate family members), restricted shares, and shares issuable upon the settlement of restricted stock units (regardless of whether they have vested) must equal or exceed a multiple of the executive’s respective salary, as shown below. Unexercised stock options, regardless of whether they have vested, are not included when determining compliance with the executive stock ownership guidelines.


Position						Salary Multiple
Chief Executive Officer						5x
Chief Financial Officer						3x
Chief Operating Officer						3x
President						3x

Until the ownership requirements are achieved, each executive officer is expected to retain at least 50% of the number of shares awarded to him or her under the Company’s Stock Incentive Plan, net of the number of shares the executive officer has applied to the payment of taxes on such awards and excluding any shares held subject to a 10b5-1 Sales Plan in existence as of the effective date of the adopted guidelines. An officer who holds more than one title will be expected to satisfy the highest applicable ownership requirement.

Each executive officer subject to the policy was in compliance with the executive stock ownership guidelines as of December 31, 2025. The CNCG Committee monitors compliance with these guidelines and has the authority to modify them as it deems appropriate.

Clawback Policy

The Company has adopted a policy that, to the extent permitted by law, will seek recovery of incentive-based compensation received by current or former executives if 1) the amount of such payment was based on the achievement of certain financial results that were subsequently the subject of a restatement and 2) a lower payment would have been made to the executive officer based on the restated results.

Insider Trading Policy

The Company has an insider trading policy governing purchases, sales and other dispositions of the Company’s securities that applies to the Company’s directors, officers, employees, agents and other covered persons. It is also Company policy to comply with applicable securities laws concerning trading in Company securities on the Company’s behalf. The Company believes that its insider trading policy and procedures are reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and listing standards applicable to the Company. A copy of the Company’s insider trading policy is filed as Exhibit 19 to our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 20, 2026.

Anti-Hedging Policy

The Company’s insider trading policy prohibits executive officers, directors, and employees from hedging their ownership of Company common stock, including transactions in forward contracts, collars or other derivative instruments related to Company common stock. In addition, the Company’s insider trading policy prohibits executive officers, directors, and employees from placing shares of Company common stock in margin accounts, short sales, and pledging shares of Company common stock.

Employment Agreement

We have outstanding obligations under an employment agreement with Mr. Kehoe in connection with the commencement of his employment by the Company. Please see the description of Mr. Kehoe’s employment agreement in the section entitled “Executive Compensation - Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.”

We have not entered into employment agreements with any of our other NEOs.

Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation

Stockholders have the opportunity each year to cast a non-binding advisory vote to approve the executive compensation program. At the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, approximately 96 percent of the votes cast approved the Company’s executive compensation program.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

On June 4, 2009, Kinsale Management, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an employment agreement with Michael P. Kehoe, our CEO. The agreement had an initial term of three years and provides for automatic renewal for one-year terms thereafter unless written notice not to extend the term is provided by Kinsale Management, Inc. or Mr. Kehoe at least 90 days prior to the end of the term.

Kinsale Management may terminate the agreement for cause (as defined in the agreement), without cause, upon disability and may permit the agreement to expire at the end of a term. Mr. Kehoe may terminate the agreement for good reason (as defined in the agreement), resign without good reason or permit the agreement to expire at the end of a term.

If Kinsale Management terminates the agreement without cause or permits the term to expire, or Mr. Kehoe terminates the agreement for good reason, Mr. Kehoe is entitled to continuation of his base salary and benefits for 12 months following the termination date, subject to Mr. Kehoe’s execution and non-revocation of a release of claims. If Kinsale Management terminates the agreement for cause or disability, or Mr. Kehoe resigns without good reason or permits the term to expire, Kinsale Management has no further obligations to Mr. Kehoe, except as provided in any bonus or incentive plan. Mr. Kehoe is also subject to confidentiality covenants and one year post-termination non-competition and non-solicitation covenants under the agreement.

No other NEO is a party to any agreement, arrangement, or policy providing for severance or termination benefits other than the equity acceleration reflected in the table below.

The estimated incremental payments and benefits that would be provided to each of our NEOs upon certain terminations of employment are quantified in the following table, assuming termination of employment took place on December 31, 2025.


Name	Severance	Health and Welfare Benefits	Restricted Stock(2)	Total Compensation

(1) Pursuant to his employment agreement, Mr. Kehoe is entitled to receive continuation of his base salary and benefits for 12 months

following a termination of employment by the Company without cause, due to his resignation for good reason or due to expiration of the

term.

(2) If employment terminates prior to the vesting date due to death or disability, all unvested restricted stock awards will fully vest as of the termination date. The amounts shown have been calculated using the closing stock price on December 31, 2025, $391.12, multiplied by the number of unvested restricted stock awards held by each NEO.

CEO Pay Ratio

The SEC has issued final rules implementing the provision of the Dodd-Frank Act that require a U.S. publicly-traded company to disclose in its proxy statement the ratio of its CEO’s compensation to that of its median employee. Our pay ratio estimate has been calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K. The SEC rules for identifying the median employee and calculating the pay ratio permit companies to use various methodologies and assumptions and to make reasonable estimates that reflect their employee populations and compensation practices. As a result, the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable with the pay ratio that we have reported.

We had approximately 719 active employees as of December 31, 2025, excluding the CEO. We calculated the 2025 total compensation for this population in the same manner used to calculate Mr. Kehoe’s total compensation, as reflected in the Summary Compensation Table, and identified our median employee as of December 31, 2025. Compensation for any employees who were employed for less than the full fiscal year was annualized. In determining our median employee, we did not use any of the permitted exemptions. We did not rely on any material assumptions, adjustments, (e.g. cost of living adjustments), or estimates (e.g. statistical sampling) to identify our median employee or determine annual total compensation or any elements of annual total compensation for our median employee to Mr. Kehoe.

In 2025, Mr. Kehoe’s total compensation was $7,423,891. The median employee’s total compensation in 2025 was $142,770 resulting in a ratio of 52 to 1.

Pay Versus Performance

The SEC requires disclosures of information pertaining to both Principal Executive Officer (“PEO”) and other NEO compensation, including separate disclosure of the PEO’s total compensation and other NEOs’ average total compensation calculated in accordance with Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K. To determine Compensation Actually Paid (“CAP”) for the PEO and NEOs, we are required to make certain adjustments to total executive compensation reported in the Summary Compensation Table for equity awards that are calculated in accordance with US GAAP.

The table below details CAP for our PEO, Michael Kehoe, the average of CAP to our other NEOs, our total shareholder return (“TSR”), the TSR of our peer group (the S&P 500 Property & Casualty Insurance Index), net income, and a company-selected measure. Our company-selected measure, the most important financial performance measure used to link compensation paid to all employees, including executive officers, to company performance for the most recently completed year, is actual underwriting profit. Actual underwriting profit is the performance metric used to determine the bonus pool calculation under the annual cash incentive program and from which the variable compensation is derived.

Relationship of Pay Versus Performance

The following graph depicts the relationship between the cash and equity portions of compensation of our PEO and average of cash and equity portions of compensation of our non-PEO NEOs and each of net income and actual underwriting profit.

Consistent with our compensation philosophy, we grant equity awards to certain employees, including executive officers, in order to align employee incentives with those of shareholders. As a result, CAP for both the CEO and average of NEOs is heavily influenced by the change in the price of our common stock. Our compensation philosophy, specifically the

bonus component in the table above, is intended to align executive bonuses with the performance of our underwriting operations. Equity awards granted to employees are intended to incentivize management, including executive officers, to grow the business over the long-term. We do not view changes in the fair value of previously granted equity awards as a meaningful metric when evaluating executive compensation.

Relationship of Compensation Actually Paid to Total Shareholder Return

The following graph shows the relationship between executive compensation actually paid for both the CEO and average of other NEOs to our TSR and TSR for the S&P 500 Property & Casualty Insurance Index for the period from December 31, 2020 through December 31, 2025. The graph assumes an initial investment of $100 and the reinvestment of dividends, if any.

List of Most Important Performance Measures

The following table lists the most important measures we used in determining executive compensation for the year ended December 31, 2025:


Most Important Measures for Determining NEO Pay
Actual underwriting profit (1)
Combined ratio (2)
Operating return on equity (3)

(1) See CD&A for description of how actual underwriting profit is calculated.

(2) Combined ratio is the sum of the loss ratio and the expense ratio. Loss ratio, expressed as a percentage, is the ratio of losses and loss adjustment expenses to sum of earned premiums and fee income, net of the effects of reinsurance. Expense ratio, expressed as a percentage, is the ratio of

underwriting, acquisition and insurance expenses to the sum of net earned premiums and fee income. A combined ratio under 100% indicates an underwriting profit. A combined ratio over 100% indicates an underwriting loss.

(3) Operating return on equity is a non-GAAP financial measure. We define operating return on equity as net operating earnings, a non-GAAP financial measure, expressed as a percentage of average beginning and ending stockholders’ equity during the period. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 for a reconciliation of net operating earnings and operating return on equity.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

Policies and Procedures for Related Person Transactions

The Board adopted a written policy for the review of any transaction, arrangement or relationship in which we are a participant, the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and one of our executive officers, directors, director nominees or beneficial owners of more than 5% of our common stock (or their immediate family members) is implicated, each of whom we refer to as a “related person,” has a direct or indirect material interest.

If a related person proposes to enter into such a transaction, arrangement or relationship, which we refer to as a “related person transaction,” the related person must report the proposed related person transaction to the chairperson of our Audit Committee. The policy calls for the proposed related person transaction to be reviewed and, if deemed appropriate, approved by the Audit Committee. In approving or rejecting such proposed transactions, the Audit Committee is required to consider the relevant facts and circumstances available and deemed relevant to the Audit Committee, including the material terms of the transaction, risks, benefits, costs, availability of other comparable services or products and, if applicable, the impact on a director’s independence. Our Audit Committee approves only those transactions that, in light of known circumstances, are in, or are not inconsistent with, our best interests and those of our stockholders, as our Audit Committee determines in the good faith in the exercise of its discretion. In the event that any member of our Audit Committee is not a disinterested person with respect to the related person transaction under review, that member is excluded from the review and approval or rejection of such related person transaction and another director may be designated to join the Audit Committee for purposes of such review. Whenever practicable, the reporting, review and approval will occur prior to entering into the transaction. If advance review and approval is not practicable, the Audit Committee will review and may, in its discretion, ratify the related person transaction retroactively.

The following are summaries of certain provisions of our related person agreements and are qualified in their entirety by reference to all of the provisions of such agreements. Because these descriptions are only summaries of the applicable agreements, they do not necessarily contain all of the information that you may find useful. We therefore urge you to review the agreements in their entirety.

Director and Officer Indemnification Agreements

We entered into separate indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers. Each indemnification agreement provides, among other things, for indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by law and our Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws against (i) any and all expenses and liabilities, including judgments, fines, penalties, interest and amounts paid in settlement of any claim with our approval and counsel fees and disbursements, (ii) any liability pursuant to a loan guarantee, or otherwise, for any of our indebtedness, and (iii) any liabilities incurred as a result of acting on behalf of us (as a fiduciary or otherwise) in connection with an employee benefit plan. The indemnification agreements provide for the advancement or payment of expenses to the indemnitee and for reimbursement to us if it is found that such indemnitee is not entitled to such indemnification under applicable law and our Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

We believe that these indemnification agreements, as well as our maintaining directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, help us to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.

Related Person Transactions

The Company entered into the following related person transactions during 2025:

From time to time, institutional investors, such as large investment management firms, mutual fund management organizations and other financial organizations, become beneficial owners (through aggregation of holdings of their affiliates) of 5% or more of voting securities of the Company and, as a result, are considered a “related person.” These organizations may provide services to the Company or its benefit plans.

BlackRock, Inc., which beneficially owns more than 5% of the Company’s common stock, provides, on an arm’s length basis, investment management services to the Company for which the Company incurred fees of approximately $2.9 million during 2025.

The Company entered into the following related person transaction in 2026:

In connection with Mr. Haney’s previously disclosed retirement as President and Chief Operating Officer effective March 2, 2026, the Company entered into a Senior Advisor Memorandum of Understanding (the “MOU”) with Mr. Haney pursuant to which he will provide advisory and consulting services to the Company following his retirement. The MOU became effective on March 3, 2026 and has a term of one year, unless earlier terminated in accordance with its terms. During the term of the MOU, Mr. Haney will serve as a Senior Advisor to the Company and provide advisory and consulting services, primarily focused on investor relations matters. In consideration for these services, the Company will pay Mr. Haney an annual consulting fee of $500,000, payable in equal monthly installments, and will reimburse him for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the performance of services under

the MOU. Mr. Haney will not receive any additional equity awards or incentive compensation pursuant to the MOU.

PROPOSAL 2: ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

In accordance with Section 14A of the Exchange Act, we are asking stockholders to approve, in a non-binding advisory vote, the compensation of the named executive officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement.

This proposal, commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal, gives our stockholders the opportunity to express their views on the compensation of our named executive officers. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our named executive officers as described in this Proxy Statement.

Accordingly, the Board invites you to review carefully the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” “Executive Compensation,” and “Equity Compensation Plan Information” sections of this Proxy Statement, and cast a vote “FOR” the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, that stockholders APPROVE, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, as discussed and disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the executive compensation tables, and any narrative executive compensation disclosure contained in this Proxy Statement.”

The say-on-pay vote is advisory, and therefore not binding on us, the CNCG Committee or the Board. Furthermore, because this non-binding, advisory resolution primarily relates to the compensation of our named executive officers that has already been paid or contractually committed, there is generally no opportunity for us to revisit these decisions. The Board and CNCG Committee value the opinions of our stockholders and to the extent there is any significant vote against the named executive officers’ compensation as disclosed in this Proxy Statement, the Board will consider the stockholders’ concerns and the CNCG Committee will evaluate whether any actions are necessary to address those concerns.

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE NON-BINDING RESOLUTION TO APPROVE THE NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS’ COMPENSATION AS DESCRIBED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT.

PROPOSAL 3: RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Audit Committee has selected KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) as our independent registered public accounting firm to perform the audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ending December 31, 2026 and the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2026 and has further directed that management submit the selection of our independent registered public accounting firm for ratification by the stockholders at the Annual Meeting. Representatives of KPMG will be present at the Annual Meeting, have an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and be available to respond to appropriate questions.

The Board is submitting the selection of KPMG to the stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If the stockholders fail to ratify the selection, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether or not to retain that firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee of the Board in its discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in our best interests and its stockholders.

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be required to ratify the appointment of KPMG as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026.

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS

A VOTE “FOR” THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF KPMG

AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2026.

COMMITTEE REPORTS

Audit Committee Report

Management has the primary responsibility for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and for performing an assessment of the effectiveness of internal control. KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) is responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company’s financial statements and expressing opinions on the conformity of the Company’s financial statements with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with the management of the Company and KPMG, with and without management present, the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, management’s assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and KPMG’s opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025. The Audit Committee has discussed with KPMG the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”). The Audit Committee also has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent registered public accounting firm’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence and has discussed with KPMG its independence. The Audit Committee also has considered whether KPMG’s provision of non-audit services, if any, to the Company is compatible with the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence.

Based on the review and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the financial statements referred to above be included in the Company’s Annual Report to Stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2025 for filing with the SEC.

The Audit Committee’s responsibility is to monitor and oversee the audit and financial reporting processes. However, the members of the Audit Committee are not practicing certified public accountants or professional auditors and rely, without independent verification, on the information provided to them and on the representations made by management, and the report issued by the independent registered public accounting firm.
