Explanatory Note: Markel Group Inc. (f/k/a Markel Corporation), a Virginia
corporation (“Markel Group” or the “Reporting Person”) is hereby filing this Amendment No. 2 (this “Amendment No. 2”) to the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Person on December 10, 2021 (the “Original Schedule 13D”), as amended by Amendment
No. 1 filed by the Reporting Person on June 27, 2023 (“Amendment No. 1” and collectively, the “Schedule 13D”), relating to the Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”) of Hagerty, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the “Company”). Capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 2 and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Original Schedule 13D. Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 2 does not modify any of the
information previously reported in the Schedule 13D.
| Item 2. |
Identity and Background.
|
Item 2 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
(a-c) The name, business address, present principal occupation or employment, and citizenship of each director and each executive officer of
Markel Group, as well as the number of shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by each person, as applicable, are set forth on Annex A hereto and are incorporated by reference herein.
(d-e) During the past five years, none of Markel Group or, to the best of its knowledge, any person listed on Annex A attached hereto, has (i) been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic
violations or similar misdemeanors), or (ii) been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was, or is, subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining
future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws, or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

|
Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
The response to Item 4 of this Amendment No. 2 is incorporated by reference herein.
| Item 4. |
Purpose of Transaction.
|
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
On June 3, 2024, pursuant to the registration statement on Form S-4 filed by the Company with the SEC on June 3, 2024 (the “Registration Statement”), the Company announced the commencement of an exchange offer (the
“Exchange Offer”), pursuant to which the Company offered to all holders of its outstanding public warrants, private warrants, underwriter warrants, OTM warrants, and PIPE warrants (collectively, “Exchange Warrants”), including the Warrants held by
the Reporting Person, the opportunity to receive 0.20 shares of Class A Common Stock in exchange for each outstanding Exchange Warrant tendered by the holder and exchanged pursuant to the Exchange Offer.
Concurrently with the Exchange Offer, the Company solicited consents (the “Consent Solicitation”) from holders of the Exchange Warrants to amend both the IPO Warrant Agreement (as defined in the Exchange Offer) and the
Business Combination Warrant Agreement (as defined in the Exchange Offer) to permit the Company to require that each Exchange Warrant that was outstanding upon the closing of the Exchange Offer be exchanged for 0.18 shares of Class A Common Stock per
warrant, which is a ratio 10% less than the exchange ratio applicable to the Exchange Offer. Pursuant to the terms of the IPO Warrant Agreement, all amendments except certain specified modifications or amendments required the vote or written consent
of holders of both (i) at least 50% of the Public Warrants (as defined in the Exchange Offer) outstanding and (ii) at least 50% of the Private Placement Warrants (as defined in the Exchange Offer) outstanding. Pursuant to the terms of the Business
Combination Warrant Agreement, all amendments except certain specified modifications or amendments required the vote or written consent of holders of at least 50% of the PIPE Warrants (as defined in the Exchange Offer) outstanding.
On June 3, 2024, the Reporting Person agreed to tender its Warrants in the Exchange Offer and consented to the amendment to the Business Combination Warrant Agreement pursuant to the Tender and Support Agreement, dated
June 3, 2024, by and among the Company and holders of Warrants party thereto (the “Tender and Support Agreement”). Holders of Exchange Warrants, including the Reporting Person, could have revoked their consent at any time prior to the Expiration
Date (defined below) by withdrawing the Exchange Warrants tendered for exchange in the Exchange Offer.
Prior to the expiration of the Exchange Offer at one minute after 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on July 2, 2024 (the “Expiration Date”), the amendments to the IPO Warrant Agreement and the Business Combination Warrant
Agreement received the requisite consent from the applicable holders of Exchange Warrants. Accordingly, at the Expiration Date, the Reporting Person’s 540,000 Warrants were accepted by the Issuer for exchange and, pursuant to the terms of the
Exchange Offer, 108,000 shares of Class A Common Stock will be delivered to the Reporting Person promptly following the Expiration Date.
The foregoing description of the Tender and Support Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Tender and Support Agreement, a copy of which is filed
as an exhibit to this Amendment No. 2 and is incorporated by reference herein.

| Item 5. |
Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
|
Item 5(a)-(c) of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
(a)-(b) As of the date of this Amendment No. 2, the Reporting Person may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 79,380,265 shares of Class A Common Stock, or approximately 47.9% of the shares of Class A Common Stock
outstanding. The Reporting Person’s beneficial ownership is composed of (i) 75,000,000 shares of Class V Common Stock and an equal number of OpCo Units, which are, together, exchangeable, at the option of the
holder, on a one-for-one basis for a share of Class A Common Stock or, if certain conditions set forth in the Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement are met, an equivalent value in cash at the option of
the Company; (ii) 1,590,668 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, which are exchangeable, at the option of the Reporting Person, into 1,272,265 shares of Class A Common Stock at the Conversion Rate, which is subject to customary anti-dilution protections; and (iii) 3,108,000 shares of Class A Common Stock.
Each share of Class V Common Stock has no incidents of economic ownership and has ten (10) votes per share until the earlier of (i) December 2, 2036, and (ii) transfer to a non-qualified transferee,
after which it has one (1) vote per share.
The Series A Preferred Stock votes together with the Class A Common Stock on an as-converted basis (one vote per share), and not as a separate class.
The beneficial ownership percentage reported herein was calculated based on the sum of
(i) 85,703,286 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding as of May 15, 2024, based on the Registration Statement; (ii) 3,686,191
shares of Class A Common Stock estimated to be issued in exchange for 18,430,959 Exchange Warrants at the Expiration Date of the Exchange Offer; (iii) 75,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock that could be issued upon conversion of Class V
Common Stock and an equal number of OpCo Units held by the Reporting Person; and (iv) 1,272,265 shares of Class A Common Stock that could be issued upon
conversion of Series A Preferred Stock held by the Reporting Person, each of (iii) and (iv) of which have been added to the total shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding for purposes of calculating the Reporting Person’s beneficial ownership
percentage in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i) under the Act. Notwithstanding the percentage reported herein, based on the aggregate total of Class A Common Stock and Class V Common Stock outstanding, and the voting power assigned to each
class, the Reporting Person controls approximately 28.9% of the voting power of the Company.
The board of directors of the Reporting Person may be deemed to collectively exercise voting and investment power over the shares of Class A Common Stock and other securities of the Company held by the Reporting
Person. Under the so-called “rule of three,” no individual member of the board of directors of the Reporting Person may be deemed to have such power over the shares of Class A Common Stock and other securities of the Company reported in this
Schedule 13D.
Pursuant to Rule 13d-4 under the Act, the Reporting Person expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of any other shares of Class A Common Stock or other securities of the Company, including those held by the other
parties to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Series A Registration Rights Agreement, and the Investor Rights Agreement, and nothing herein shall be deemed an admission by the Reporting Person as to the beneficial ownership of such shares of
Class A Common Stock or other securities.
(c) The response to Item 4 of this Amendment No. 2 is incorporated by reference herein.
| Item 6. |
Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
|
Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
The response to Item 4 of this Amendment No. 2 is incorporated by reference herein.
| Item 7. |
Material to Be Filed as Exhibits.
|
Item 7 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
Exhibit 99.12 Tender and Support Agreement, dated June 3, 2024 (incorporated by reference to Exhibit
10.37 of the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed with the SEC on June 3, 2024)
