Atlas Financial Holdings Provides Update on Current Listing Status as Company Shares to Trade on OTC under the Ticker Symbol "AFHIF” Beginning September 2, 2020

Atlas Financial Holdings, Inc. (OTC: AFHIF) ("Atlas” or the "Company”) today announced that its shares would be suspended from the Nasdaq Capital Market ("Nasdaq") at the opening of business on September 2, 2020. The determination by Nasdaq to commence the delisting process resulted from the Company’s inability to satisfy certain of Nasdaq’s continued listing standards as previously disclosed by the Company. The suspension and delisting were first disclosed by the Company in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC”) on August 31, 2020.

The Company’s common shares are expected to begin trading under the symbol "AFHIF” on the Pink Open Market, which is operated by OTC Markets Group Inc. ("OTC Pink”), effective with the open of markets on September 2, 2020. The Company will remain subject to the public reporting requirements of the SEC following the transfer to the OTC Pink. The Company does not believe that the transition to the over-the-counter markets will affect the Company's business operations.

Management Commentary
As previously announced, the Company has made substantial progress in connection with its strategic transition toward an asset-light managing general agency ("MGA”) business model.

Scott D. Wollney, President & CEO of Atlas, stated, "We understand Nasdaq’s decision in light of their earlier defined timelines. Our Team continues to focus on generating positive EBITDA from our MGA operation and best positioning the operation for future success, while working to reduce risk and capital requirements related to traditional primary insurance company operations. We intend to continue working towards becoming current with our financial reporting, while also leveraging our existing infrastructure, data, and previous investment in specialty commercial auto into different applications in the future.”
