Disclosure of Compensation Arrangement
Group Coverage, Inc. secures and otherwise facilitates the purchase of insurance
coverage for its policyholder clients from a variety of insurance carriers and group
benefits providers (collectively “carriers”) and sometimes engages the services of
other entities in connection with the issuance of such coverage. In most
instances, Group Coverage, Inc. is primarily compensated for the insurance
brokerage services that it provides to its policyholder clients through commission
payments that are based on the premium charged, and paid for, by the issuing
carrier for each policy secured for Group Coverage, Inc.’s clients. The percentage
of these commissions varies by insurance carrier and policy type. In
addition, Group Coverage, Inc. has entered into contingent compensation
arrangements with insurance carriers based on circumstances, including without
limitation, the overall volume of premiums paid to or policies issued by or through a
particular insurance carrier for Group Coverage, Inc.’s clients; the overall growth,
persistency and/or retention of the premiums paid by Group Coverage,
Inc.’s clients to or through a particular insurance carrier; and, in certain cases, the
profitability of the total premium (i.e., claims history on the coverage) paid
by Group Coverage, Inc.’s clients to or through a particular insurance carrier.
Documentation currently in Group Coverage, Inc.’s possession evidencing Group
Coverage, Inc.’s current compensation agreements with the aforementioned
carriers is available for all policyholders’ review at Group Coverage,
Inc.’s corporate office; however, if those policyholders or their representatives have
any additional questions or require any other information regarding any of the

brokerage services, please do not hesitate to contact:
