EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

State National Companies, Inc. (the “Company”) has previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-203098), filed and effective March 30, 2015 (the “Original Registration Statement”) to register 4,381,500 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), originally authorized for issuance under the State National Companies, Inc. 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Original Plan”).

 

On May 18, 2017 (the “Effective Date”), the Company’s stockholders approved the First Amended and Restated State National Companies, Inc. 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan, which amended and restated the Original Plan in its entirety (the “Amended and Restated Plan”).  Those shares of Common Stock that were authorized and remained available for issuance under the Original Plan immediately prior to the Effective Date, including shares subject to outstanding awards granted under the Original Plan and any forfeitures of shares under outstanding awards on or after the Effective Date (collectively, the “Remaining Original Plan Shares”) are, on and after the Effective Date, available for issuance under the Amended and Restated Plan.

 

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Original Registration Statement is being filed with the Commission, as provided in SEC Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation 126.43, to indicate that the Original Registration Statement, as hereby amended, will also cover the issuance of the Remaining Original Plan Shares under the Amended and Restated Plan.

 

The Amended and Restated Plan amended the Original Plan in certain respects, including to authorize the issuance of an additional 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock under the Amended and Restated Plan (the “Additional Shares”).  The Additional Shares will be registered pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-8, filed contemporaneously herewith, and will be available for issuance under the Amended and Restated Plan.
