The amount of $3,000,000, representing a portion of the purchase price, was paid to the statutory liquidator of the Indirect Subsidiaries at closing by Buckle. A holdback amount will be paid by Buckle to the statutory liquidator within five (5) business days following the date that is six (6) months following the closing date, which will be calculated based on the status of licenses that may change following closing. The stock purchase agreement was previously disclosed via Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and was subsequently amended as filed on Form 8-k concurrent with this release. Buckle plans to re-capitalize the Insurance Subsidiaries to support go-forward business.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAs previously announced, Atlas\u2019 strategic focus includes transitioning business previously written by the Indirect Subsidiaries as well as Gateway Insurance Company, which was previously acquired by Buckle, to alternative markets through the Company\u2019s wholly owned managing general agency (\u201cMGA\u201d), Anchor Group Management, Inc. (\u201cAGMI\u201d), to leverage the team, distribution systems and other resources aligned under this business unit. Upon closing, affiliates of Buckle and AGMI intend to expand their existing general agency agreement relating to the transition of qualifying taxi, livery and limousine insurance business. The previously announced program framework agreement relating to administrative support to be provided by Atlas subsidiaries to Buckle in connection with the operation of Buckle\u2019s insurance companies is also being expanded to include the Indirect Subsidiaries.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>Management Commentary: Continued Progress with the Company\u2019s MGA Strategy<br \/>\n<br \/><\/b>Scott D. Wollney, President &amp; CEO of Atlas, stated, \u201cWe are very pleased to have concluded this transaction regarding the sale of legacy insurance assets to Buckle. We expect it will provide incremental positive benefits to both companies, our employees, customers, investors, and other stakeholders. As we continue pursuing our specialty MGA strategy, expanding the scope of our risk taking partner relationships will increase our flexibility with respect to product offerings and addressable markets. Our emphasis continues to be focused on generating EBITDA at the MGA level, while endeavoring to reduce risk and capital requirements related to traditional primary insurance company operations.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Buckle recognizes that MGAs represent a valuable aspect of the risk transfer supply chain,\u201d stated <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Fin%2Fsharonrfernandez%2F&amp;esheet=52435381&amp;newsitemid=20210526005113&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Sharon+Fernandez&amp;index=3&amp;md5=4e95446f437737d7108dc0cba307be9d\">Sharon Fernandez<\/a>, Head of Insurance at Buckle. \u201cAdding American Country and American Service Insurance Companies to our carrier infrastructure is expected to provide additional flexibility in connection with the &#8216;digital fronting\u2122&#8217; aspect of our business model. We are excited to continue working together with AGMI and our reinsurance partners to expand our infrastructure in anticipation of growth in the important transportation markets we collectively serve.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\nMr. Wollney continued, \u201cWhile it remains very difficult to forecast expected business volumes, revenue, and other key metrics due to COVID-19 related economic uncertainty, we are encouraged to see leading indicators of recovery in our customers\u2019 business segments. This transaction brings us one step closer to finalizing our strategic transition and adds additional resources we believe will ensure we are best positioned to capture business in the face of an expected recovery.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p><b>About Buckle<br \/>\n<br \/><\/b>Buckle is the inclusive, digital financial services company serving the emerging middle class and providers to the gig economy.
