Business Developments PREPA During 2025, the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (“PREPA”) defaulted on scheduled debt service for National insured bonds and National paid gross claims in the aggregate of $ 105 million. As of December 31, 2025, National had $ 565 million of debt service outstanding related to PREPA. On January 1, 2026, PREPA defaulted on scheduled debt service for National insured bonds and National paid gross claims in the aggregate of $ 11 million. On January 31, 2023, National entered into a restructuring support agreement (“PREPA RSA”) with the Financial Oversight and Management Board for Puerto Rico (the “Oversight Board”), on behalf of itself and as the sole Title III representative of PREPA. A plan of adjustment for PREPA (the "Plan") and related disclosure statement was filed on February 9, 2023. Subsequently, both the Plan and PREPA RSA were amended. The Title III Court conducted confirmation hearings in March 2024. On June 12, 2024, the First Circuit Court of Appeals reversed Judge Swain's prior rulings and supported bondholder liens and claim amounts (the "Appeal Decision"). On June 26, 2024, the Oversight Board filed a petition for a First Circuit panel rehearing, and the Unsecured Creditors Committee ("UCC") filed an en banc appeal. On November 13, 2024, the First Circuit affirmed the Appeal Decision. On November 27, 2024, the Oversight Board filed a petition for further rehearing, and on December 31, 2024, the First Circuit denied the rehearing request. Following the Appeal Decision, the Oversight Board informed the Court, National and other parties that it intended to modify National’s settlement in a forthcoming amended Plan. Thereafter, National provided notice to the Oversight Board that National did not support the board's actions and that such actions constituted a breach and termination of the PREPA RSA, as amended. On January 29, 2025, the Court extended its litigation stay through March 24, 2025, and on March 3, 2025, the Court entered an order identifying key legal issues and requiring a joint proposed litigation schedule. On March 20, 2025, the Court set a briefing schedule on a motion for allowance of an administrative expense. On June 11, 2025, the Court set June 30, 2025, as the deadline for discovery, and July 23, 2025, for oral arguments in the administrative expense claim motion. Following the hearing, the Court reserved its decision on the legal issues and permitted the parties to continue resolution of discovery disputes. On August 8, 2025, the Court entered an order suspending deadlines for the Administrative Expense Claim until further order of the Court. On October 22, 2025, the Court ordered the parties to meet and confer on scheduling issues in the Administrative Expense Claim litigation and required they filed a Joint Status Report by November 24, 2025. Following the filing of the Joint Status Report, the Court entered an order dated December 9, 2025, lifting the litigation stay to permit the parties to litigate motions to compel solely in connection with the Administrative Expense Motion. Bondholders filed their Motion to Compel on January 9, 2026, and the Oversight Board on January 23, 2026 filed its opposition. Bondholders filed their reply brief on February 6, 2026. There is no assurance that a plan that is substantially similar in the treatment of National's claims and rights will ultimately be confirmed and become effective.…
