Capital return has been minimal: a token annual common dividend (2 cents per share) and an unused repurchase authorization with no open‑market purchases reported in recent periods.

Leverage consists mainly of two tranches of trust‑preferreds maturing 2032/2033 priced at SOFR plus 4.0–4.1%, which is an expensive funding stack in a higher‑rate regime; early redemption has not been pursued. Investments appear conservative, but underwriting discipline in commercial auto has been mixed.

We view capital allocation as cautious but suboptimal for minority holders.
