The Company also announced that Kingstone Insurance Company ("KICO"), its wholly-owned subsidiary, finalized a new 25% personal lines quota share treaty for the period December 15, 2019 through December 31, 2020. "This new treaty enables us to reduce our catastrophe retention (from $7,500,000 to $5,625,000) and further benefits us by providing a material increase to year end 2019 statutory surplus.
