Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On June 1, 2025, Bowhead Specialty Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) became eligible to file registration statements on Form S-3. On June 6, 2025, the Company filed two registrations statements on Form S-3. The first Form S-3 is for up to $300 million of securities (the “Universal Shelf”). The second Form S-3 is for securities held by Gallatin Point Capital, American Family and Stephen Sills (the “Registration Rights Shelf”). In connection with the filing of the Universal Shelf and the Registration Rights Shelf, please note the following:

•The Company views the filing of the Universal Shelf as good balance sheet hygiene and in line with the Company’s view that it is a growing business.

•Nothing specific is imminent regarding a capital raise.

•The filing of the Registration Rights Shelf covering securities held by American Family Mutual Insurance Company, S.I., GPC Partners Investments (SPV III) LP and Stephen Sills was made to fulfill the Company’s contractual obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of May 28, 2024, between the Company and the investors party thereto. No party listed as a selling stockholder (including Stephen Sills) has indicated a present intent to sell, which prompted the filing of the Registration Rights Shelf.
