Mercury Insurance Launches Enhanced Homeowners Insurance Product for Oklahoma Mercury Insurance has launched a new enhanced homeowners insurance product that gives Oklahoma homeowners more ways to lower their insurance costs, strengthen their properties against severe weather, and choose coverage that better fits their homes. The enhancements can provide qualifying homeowners with estimated average savings of $420, or 12.4%, for eligible hail-resistant roofing. Estimated average savings of $290, or 8.5%, for homes meeting qualifying FORTIFIED standards. Optional coverage that helps eligible customers upgrade to a stronger hail-resistant roof following a covered loss requiring full roof replacement. New discounts available for qualifying wildfire mitigation measures. More flexibility to tailor coverage to their property and individual needs. Mercury's enhanced product provides two distinct benefits for homeowners with hail-resistant roofs: an opportunity to save before a loss and an option to rebuild with stronger materials after one. The updated Hail Resistant Roof Discount rewards qualifying homeowners whose roofs use eligible impact-resistant materials. Customers receive an estimated average savings of $420, or 12.4%, depending on their home, policy and individual rating factors. Mercury has also introduced Hail Resistant Roof Upgrade Coverage, an optional coverage that helps eligible homeowners replace their existing roof with qualifying Class 4 impact-resistant shingles or eligible Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS)-recognized shingles when a covered loss requires full roof replacement. Once the upgraded roof is installed and verified, the home may also qualify for Mercury's Hail Resistant Roof Discount, giving customers an opportunity to emerge from a covered loss with a stronger roof and potential future insurance savings. Mercury has also updated its FORTIFIED Home Discount for homes constructed or upgraded to qualifying FORTIFIED standards developed by the IBHS. Mercury's new homeowners insurance product saves eligible customers an average of $290, but those savings will vary because it's equal to 8.5% of the premium. The discount recognizes homeowners who have already invested in improvements designed to help roofs and homes withstand severe wind and weather. Oklahoma homeowners who take steps to reduce wildfire risk may now qualify for additional savings through three discount opportunities: Wildfire Mitigation Discount Property Level – IBHS Wildfire Prepared Home or Mercury Wildfire Mitigation Discount, Wildfire Mitigation Discount Community Level, Fire Resistive Construction Type Discount. The discounts recognize qualifying measures such as home hardening, defensible space, participation in community mitigation programs, and fire-resistive construction. Eligible homeowners may receive a discount of 30% on the wildfire peril portion of their premium through qualifying property-level wildfire mitigation measures. The updated Mercury homeowners product also includes new optional Cosmetic Exterior Surfacing Coverage for eligible cosmetic wind and hail damage. Greater flexibility in selecting Coverage B, C, and D limits. Broader eligibility for certain homeowners. More precise pricing that better reflects the characteristics, condition and protection features of an individual property. The enhanced product for new Oklahoma homeowners policies is available now.

Mercury Insurance Offers New Coverages in New Jersey Mercury Insurance announced three new coverages and four new discounts that are available for homeowners or renters in New Jersey. Mercury's new coverages provide additional insurance protections with an option for environmentally friendly replacement products. Discounts are available for homeowners already taking eco-friendly measures and will put hard-earned money back in the pockets of policyholders. New coverages include: Green Home: Mercury will cover up to an additional 10% of the replacement costs for environmentally friendly alternatives or construction methods with a covered loss. For example, if a homeowner with this additional coverage has damaged carpeting and selects an eco-friendly replacement, Mercury would issue funds up to 10% more than the costs to replace the carpeting so the homeowner can go with the green flooring option. The protection also extends to personal property such as HVAC systems or appliances when replaced with an eco-friendly product. Matching of Undamaged Siding and Roofing: Many times, roofing or siding repair is limited to a damaged area of the home, and with time the older existing and non-damaged material will fade — or the roofing or siding is no longer available. In the past, homeowners could end up with roofing or siding that does not match. Today, Mercury is providing two additional coverages — siding or roofing — that allow the undamaged portions to be replaced as well when there is a mismatch. Refrigerated Products: During the pandemic, many homeowners spent hundreds of dollars stocking their refrigerators from top to bottom. Mercury's new protection covers up to $1,000 of food items if there's a loss of power or a mechanical failure of a refrigerator resulting in spoiled food. Tillkännagivande • Mar 27

New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of German stocks, typically moving 7.2% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Paying a dividend despite being loss-making.

Mercury Insurance Offers New Coverages and Discounts in Nevada Mercury General Corporation announces five new coverages and five new discounts available for homeowners and renters in Nevada. Mercury's new coverages provide additional insurance protections with an option for environmentally-friendly replacement products. Discounts are available for homeowners already taking eco-friendly measures and will put hard-earned money back in the pockets of policyholders. New coverages include: Green Home: Mercury will cover up to an additional 10% of the replacement costs for environmentally-friendly alternatives or construction methods with a covered loss. For example, if a homeowner with this additional coverage has damaged carpeting and selects an eco-friendly replacement, Mercury would issue funds up to 10% more than the costs to replace the carpeting so the homeowner can go with the green flooring option. The protection also extends to other types of property, such as an HVAC or appliances, when replaced with an eco-friendly product. Matching of Undamaged Siding and Roofing: Many times, roofing or siding repair is limited to a damaged area of the home, and with time the older existing and non-damaged material will fade or the roofing or siding is no longer available. In the past, homeowners could end up with roofing or siding that does not match. Today, Mercury is providing two additional coverages—siding or roofing—that allow the undamaged portions to be replaced as well when there is a mismatch. Refrigerated Products: During the pandemic, many homeowners spent hundreds of dollars stocking their refrigerators from top to bottom. Mercury's new protection covers up to $1,000 of food items if there's a loss of power or a mechanical failure of a refrigerator resulting in spoiled food. Limited Hidden Water, Steam Seepage or Leakage: Water claims are one of the most common claims that can lead to costly repairs along with many inconveniences for homeowners. In some instances, a water leak may be hidden from the homeowner within a wall or ceiling and go on for weeks or months and only be found when a wall is opened up. To better protect homeowners from water damages that are hidden, Mercury is offering coverage that would apply to the resulting damages in these instances. Tillkännagivande • Jun 27
