- Transaction type: P = Purchase; shares were acquired under the Kingsway America Inc. Employee Share Purchase Plan (ESPP) and bought on the open market by the plan administrator (Footnote F1).

Context
The purchase was made under the ESPP, which allows eligible employees to contribute up to 5% of adjusted salary and—after 12 months of employment—receive a 100% company match that is used to buy shares. The administrator purchases shares on the open market through a broker, so this reflects plan activity rather than necessarily a discretionary open-market buy by the executive. The amount is modest ($2.5K).
