EXPLANATORY NOTE

On April 14, 2022, Palomar Holdings, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our”) filed its Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A (the “Proxy Statement”) and the related Proxy Card (the “Proxy Card”) for the Company’s 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Proxy Statement was filed in connection with the Company’s 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on May 26, 2022 (together with any adjournment or postponement thereof, the “Annual Meeting”). This supplement to the Proxy Statement and Proxy Card (the “Proxy Statement Supplement”) is being filed to correct the Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management table. This table inadvertently omitted certain stock options exercisable within 60 days of April 1, 2022 from the Proxy Statement when originally filed with the SEC and this filing corrects this omission. Other than the correction to the Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management table, no other changes have been made to the Proxy Statement or the Proxy Card and they continue to be in full force and effect as originally filed and continue to seek the vote of Company stockholders for all proposals to be voted on at the Annual Meeting. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Proxy Statement Supplement have the meanings ascribed to them in the Proxy Statement. This supplement should be read together with the Proxy Statement.


SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of April 1, 2022 for:

each of our directors and our nominees for director;
each of our Named Executive Officers;
all of our current directors, director nominees, current executive officers, and Named Executive Officers as a group; and
each person or group who beneficially owned more than 5% of our common stock.

We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Unless otherwise indicated below, to our knowledge, the persons and entities named in the table have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all shares that they beneficially owned, subject to community property laws where applicable.

We have based our calculation of the percentage of beneficial ownership on 25,230,571 shares of our common stock outstanding as of April 1, 2022. We have deemed shares of our common stock subject to stock options that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of April 1, 2022 and RSUs scheduled to vest within 60 days of April 1, 2022 to be outstanding and to be beneficially owned by the person holding such equity awards for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person. We did not deem these shares outstanding, however, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Unless otherwise indicated, the address of each beneficial owner listed in the table below is c/o 7979 Ivanhoe Avenue, Suite 500, La Jolla, California 92037.
