  The notes are structurally subordinated to $3.6 billion in insurance subsidiary reserves for policyholder claims. In a liquidation, those subsidiary obligations would be paid before noteholders receive anything, since the notes are obligations only of the parent holding company.

  Mercury General relies on dividends from insurance subsidiaries to service debt. The subsidiaries can pay up to $448 million in 2026 dividends without regulatory approval (having paid $25 million through March 31, 2026), but there is no assurance these amounts will be available in future periods.
