Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On August 1, 2025, Brown & Brown, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), completed its previously announced acquisition of RSC Topco, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“RSC”), pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of June 10, 2025, by and among RSC, the Company, Encore Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Kelso RSC (Investor), L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, solely in its capacity as the equityholder representative (the “Kelso Investor”), pursuant to which the Company acquired RSC for an aggregate purchase price of $9.825 billion, paid at the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”), subject to certain customary post-Closing adjustments as set forth in the Merger Agreement (the “Transaction”). After adjustments pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the net merger consideration paid to equityholders of RSC at Closing was estimated to be approximately $4.7 billion, composed of approximately $3.5 billion in cash and approximately $1.2 billion in shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.10 per share (the “Common Stock Consideration”). The number of shares comprising the Common Stock Consideration was determined using the $110.57 per share closing price of the Company’s common stock on June 6, 2025. A portion of the merger consideration is being held in escrow pursuant to certain previously disclosed indemnification arrangements.

RSC is the holding company for Accession Risk Management Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation, which is a North American insurance distribution platform with a family of specialty insurance and risk management companies, including the Risk Strategies and One80 Intermediaries brands.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which has been previously filed.

Certain of the recipients of the Common Stock Consideration have entered into an agreement which prohibits, subject to customary exceptions, the sale, pledge, or other disposition of a portion of such Common Stock Consideration over a five-year period, with 20% of such shares released from lock-up on the second, third and fourth anniversaries of such issuance and 40% of such shares released from lock-up on the fifth anniversary of such issuance, respectively.
