Insider sales (SEC Form 4, open-market, last ~7 months) (SKWD)

0 of 2 under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan (scheduled in advance). Unplanned sales were timed by the insider.

% of holdings sold = shares sold ÷ (shares sold + all holdings the insider reported on that Form 4, direct and through trusts).

Insider type follows Cohen, Malloy & Pomorski (Journal of Finance, 2012). An insider who traded the stock in the same calendar month in each of the past three years is a routine trader; one who traded in each of those years without such a pattern is an opportunistic trader. In their study, trades by opportunistic insiders predicted future returns and trades by routine insiders did not. Counts open-market purchases and sales only (SEC Form 4 codes P and S) by that insider in that company. Not investment advice.

Insider purchases (SEC Form 4, open-market, last ~7 months) (SKWD)

1 purchase, $94K. Private placements, offerings, dividend reinvestment and employee stock purchase plan buys are excluded.

From Skyward Specialty Insurance Group, Inc.'s Latest SEC 10-K Filing (filed 2026-03-02)

Key Strengths & Strategy (as disclosed to the SEC)

• Typically, the program administrators possess a competitive advantage (owing to their scale in a particular market niche and/or proprietary technology) that we believe would be difficult for us to replicate on our own.
• For example, certain of our program administrator partners have developed proprietary technology to optimize risk selection and pricing in specific markets.
• Our approach for managing medical costs, combined with our claims oversight, enables us to partner with select distribution partners.
• All of these factors enable us to respond to market opportunities and dislocations by deploying capital where we believe we can consistently earn attractive risk-adjusted returns.

Partnerships

• We believe the combination of our underwriting and claims expertise with their scale and/or technology creates a more powerful partnership than either party could present to the market on its own.

Legal & Regulatory Risks (Item 1A, quoted)

• We are subject to extensive regulation, which may adversely affect our ability to achieve our business objectives. In addition, if we fail to comply with these regulations, we may be subject to penalties, including fines and suspensions, which may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
• We may become subject to additional government or market regulation, which may have a material adverse impact on our business.
• Our business could be adversely affected by changes in laws, including those relating to asset and reserve valuation requirements, surplus requirements, limitations on investments and dividends, enterprise risk and risk-based capital requirements.
• Changes to the U.S. tax laws and implementation of new tax policies could have a significant negative impact on the overall economy and our business.
