Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 7, 2022, Brown & Brown, Inc., a Florida corporation (the "Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiary Brown & Brown UK Holdco Limited (the "Buyer") entered into a majority share purchase agreement (the "Agreement") to acquire GRP (Jersey) Holdco Limited and its business ("GRP") from the owners of the entire share capital of GRP (the "Acquisition").

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company and the Buyer will pay a purchase price of approximately £1.48 billion ($1.96 billion, using the closing U.S. dollar exchange rate of £1.00 = U.S. $1.3248 on March 4, 2022).

The Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including, among others, covenants requiring GRP to conduct its business in the ordinary course in the period between execution of the Agreement and the closing. Under the Agreement, the Acquisition is subject to certain closing conditions, including the receipt of required regulatory approvals for the Acquisition (including the approval of the Financial Conduct Authority of the United Kingdom). The foregoing description of the terms and conditions of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, a copy of which is expected to be filed as an exhibit to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2022.

This Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements, including those regarding the closing of the Acquisition. These statements are not historical facts, but instead represent only the Company's current belief regarding future events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside of the Company's control. It is possible that actual events may differ, possibly materially, from the anticipated events indicated in these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to those set forth in the press release attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
