The distribution of this prospectus
and any applicable prospectus supplement and the offering of the securities in certain jurisdictions may be restricted by law. Persons
into whose possession this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement come should inform themselves about and observe any such
restrictions. This prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement do not constitute, and may not be used in connection with, an offer
or solicitation by anyone in any jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation is not authorized or in which the person making such
offer or solicitation is not qualified to do so or to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such offer or solicitation. We are not,
and the selling stockholders are not, making an offer to sell these securities in any jurisdiction where an offer or sale is not permitted.
ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS
This prospectus is part of
a registration statement that we filed with the SEC using a “shelf” registration process. Under this process, we may, from
time to time, offer and sell Class A common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, warrants, purchase contracts, rights and/or units
consisting of any combination of such securities, either individually or in combination with other securities, in one or more offerings
as described in this prospectus, and the selling stockholders may, from time to time, offer and sell shares of Class A common stock as
described in this prospectus in one or more offerings.
This prospectus provides you
with a general description of the Class A common stock, the Class B common stock, the Class C common stock, preferred stock, depositary
shares, warrants, purchase contracts, rights or units that we may offer and sell, and the Class A common stock described in this prospectus
that the selling stockholders may offer and sell. Each time we sell securities, we will provide a prospectus supplement that will contain
specific information about the terms of those securities and that offering. Each time a selling stockholder sells any Class A common stock
offered by this prospectus, the selling stockholder is required to provide this prospectus and the related prospectus supplement containing
specific information about the selling stockholder and the terms of the Class A common stock being offered in the manner required by the
Securities Act. Any prospectus supplement may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus. You should carefully
read this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement as well as additional information incorporated by reference herein and described
under the headings “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference”
before you invest in our securities. We may also prepare free writing prospectuses that describe particular securities. Any free writing
prospectus should also be read in connection with this prospectus and with any prospectus supplement referred to therein. For purposes
of this prospectus, any reference to an applicable prospectus supplement may also refer to a free writing prospectus, unless the context
otherwise requires.
The registration statement
that contains this prospectus, including the exhibits to the registration statement, contains additional information about us and the
securities offered under this prospectus. That registration statement can be read at the SEC website mentioned under the headings “Where
You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference.”
Neither we nor any selling
stockholder has authorized anyone else to provide you with different information or to make any representations other than those contained
in this prospectus or any applicable prospectus supplement. We and each of the selling stockholders take no responsibility for, and can
provide no assurance as to the reliability of, any other information that others may give you. You should not assume that the information
in this prospectus or any accompanying prospectus supplement, or the documents incorporated by reference herein or therein, is accurate
as of any date other than their respective dates. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed
since those dates.
When we refer to the “Company,”
“we,” “us” or “our” in this prospectus or when we otherwise refer to ourselves in this prospectus,
we mean (i) TWFG, Inc. and, unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise requires, all of its subsidiaries, including TWFG Holding

WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION
We have filed with the SEC

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
We have made statements in
this prospectus that are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as
“may,” “might,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,”
“believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue,” the negative
of these terms and other comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements, which are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions
about us, may include projections of our future financial performance, our anticipated growth strategies and anticipated trends in our
business. These statements are only predictions based on our current expectations and projections about future events. There are important
factors that could cause our actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from the results, level
of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including those factors discussed in
the “Risk Factors” section herein and under the captions entitled Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” and Part II,
Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report
as may be further updated from time to time in our other filings with the SEC.
Although we believe the expectations
reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, level of activity, performance or achievements.
Moreover, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of any of these forward-looking statements.
We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future
developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

could be materially and adversely affected by any of those risks. In such case, the trading price of our securities could decline and
investors could lose all or part of their investment. See the sections entitled “Where You Can Find More Information” and
“Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference” in this prospectus.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We intend to use the net proceeds
from the sale of the securities as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the
sale of Class A common stock being offered by any of the selling stockholders.
DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
The following description
is a summary of the terms of the capital stock of TWFG, Inc. as contained in our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the
“certificate of incorporation”) and our Amended and Restated By-Laws (the “by-laws”), and does not purport to
be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our certificate of incorporation and to our by-laws, which are filed as exhibits
3.1 and 3.2, respectively, to our Annual Report on Form 10-K, and the applicable provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State
of Delaware (the “DGCL”).
Our authorized capital stock
consists of 300,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, 100,000,000 shares of non-economic Class B common stock,
par value $0.00001 per share, 100,000,000 shares of non-economic Class C common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, and 50,000,000 shares
of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share.
Common stock
Class A common stock
Holders of shares of our Class
A common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters on which stockholders are entitled to vote generally,
including the election or removal of directors. The holders of our Class A common stock do not have cumulative voting rights in the election
of directors.
Holders of shares of our Class
A common stock are entitled to receive dividends when and if declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available therefor,
subject to any statutory or contractual restrictions on the payment of dividends and to any restrictions on the payment of dividends imposed
by the terms of any outstanding preferred stock.
Upon our liquidation, dissolution
or winding up and after payment in full of all amounts required to be paid to creditors and to the holders of preferred stock having liquidation
preferences, if any, the holders of shares of our Class A common stock will be entitled to receive pro rata our remaining assets available
for distribution.
All of our outstanding Class
A common stock is fully paid and non-assessable. The Class A common stock is not subject to further calls or assessments by us. The rights,
powers and privileges of our Class A common stock is subject to those of the holders of any shares of our preferred stock or any other
series or class of stock we may authorize and issue in the future.
Class B common stock
Each share of non-economic
Class B common stock entitles its holder to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders. If at any time
the ratio at which the nonvoting common interests of TWFG Holding Company, LLC (the “LLC Units”) are redeemable or exchangeable
for shares of our Class A common stock changes from one-for-one, the number of votes to which non-economic Class B common stockholders
are entitled will be adjusted accordingly. The holders of our non-economic Class B common stock do not have cumulative voting rights in
the election of directors. Except for certain permitted transfers, including transfers to us or to certain other permitted transferees
or transfers approved by TWFG, Inc. as the sole managing member of TWFG Holding Company, LLC, Bunch Family Holdings, LLC (“Bunch
Holdings”), RenaissanceRe Ventures U.S. LLC, and GHC Woodlands Holdings LLC (each, a “Pre-IPO LLC Member” and, collectively,
the “Pre-IPO LLC Members”) are not permitted to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any LLC Units or shares of non-economic
Class B common stock or non-economic Class C common stock. Holders of shares of our non-economic Class B common stock vote together with
holders of our Class A common stock and non-economic Class C common stock as a single class on all matters on which stockholders are entitled
to vote generally, except as otherwise required by law.
Holders of our non-economic
Class B common stock do not have any right to receive dividends or to receive a distribution upon a liquidation or winding up of TWFG,
Inc.
Class C common stock
Each share of non-economic
Class C common stock initially entitles its holder to ten votes per share on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders. The
high/low vote structure of the non-economic Class C common stock will terminate and each share of non-economic Class C common stock will
be entitled to one vote per share automatically (i) 12 months following the death or disability of Richard F. (“Gordy”) Bunch
III or (ii) upon the first trading day on or after such date that the outstanding shares of non-economic Class C common stock represent
less than 10% of the then-outstanding Class A, non-economic Class B and non-economic Class C common stock, which, in either instance,
may be extended to 18 months upon affirmative approval of a majority of the independent directors. Future transfers of LLC Units by the
holder of non-economic Class C common stock will result in the corresponding shares of non-economic Class C common stock converting into
shares of non-economic Class B common stock, subject to limited exceptions, including transfers to Richard F. (“Gordy”) Bunch
III, his family members or affiliates of Bunch Holdings or that are effected for estate planning purposes.
For purposes of calculating
the Substantial Ownership Requirement and the Majority Ownership Requirement (each as defined below), shares of non-economic Class C common
stock held by Bunch Holdings include shares held by the Class C Permitted Holders (as defined in our certificate of incorporation). If
at any time the ratio at which LLC Units are redeemable or exchangeable for shares of our Class A common stock changes from one-for-one,
the number of votes to which non-economic Class C common stockholders are entitled will be adjusted accordingly. Except for transfers
to us pursuant to the Third Amended and Restated LLC Agreement of TWFG Holding Company, LLC (the “TWFG LLC Agreement”) or
to certain permitted transferees, Bunch Holdings is not permitted to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any LLC Units or shares of
non-economic Class C common stock. Holders of shares of our non-economic Class C common stock vote together with holders of our Class
A common stock and non-economic Class B common stock as a single class on all matters on which stockholders are entitled to vote generally,
except as otherwise required by law.
Holders of our non-economic
Class C common stock do not have any right to receive dividends or to receive a distribution upon a liquidation or winding up of TWFG,
Inc.
Preferred stock
No
shares of preferred stock are currently issued or outstanding. Our certificate of incorporation authorizes our board of directors to establish
one or more series of preferred stock (including convertible preferred stock). Unless required by law or any stock exchange, the authorized
shares of preferred stock will be available for issuance without further action by holders of our Class A, non-economic Class B, or non-economic
Class C common stock. Our board of directors is able to determine, with respect to any series of preferred stock, the powers (including
voting powers), preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions
thereof, including, without limitation:
| ● | the designation of the series; |
| ● | the number of shares of the series, which our board of directors may,
except where otherwise provided in the preferred stock designation, increase (but not above the total number of authorized shares of the
class) or decrease (but not below the number of shares then outstanding); |
| ● | whether dividends, if any, will be cumulative or non-cumulative and
the dividend rate of the series; |
| ● | the dates at which dividends, if any, will be payable; |
| ● | the redemption rights and price or prices, if any, for shares of the
series; |
| ● | the terms and amounts of any sinking fund provided for the purchase
or redemption of shares of the series; |
| ● | the amounts payable on shares of the series in the event of any voluntary
or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of our company; |
| ● | whether the shares of the series will be convertible into shares of
any other class or series, or any other security, of our company or any other entity, and, if so, the specification of the other class
or series or other security, the conversion price or prices or rate or rates, any rate adjustments, the date or dates as of which the
shares will be convertible and all other terms and conditions upon which the conversion may be made; |
| ● | restrictions on the issuance of shares of the same series or of any
other class or series; and |
| ● | the voting rights, if any, of the holders of the series. |
We
could issue a series of preferred stock that could, depending on the terms of the series, impede or discourage an acquisition attempt
or other transaction that some, or a majority, of the holders of our common stock might believe to be in their best interests or in which
the holders of our common stock might receive a premium over the market price of the shares of common stock. Additionally, the issuance
of preferred stock may adversely affect the holders of our common stock by restricting dividends on the common stock, diluting the voting
power of the common stock or subordinating the liquidation rights of the common stock. As a result of these or other factors, the issuance
of preferred stock could have an adverse impact on the market price of our common stock.
Authorized but unissued capital stock
Delaware
law does not require stockholder approval for any issuance of authorized shares. However, the listing requirements of Nasdaq Global Select
Market (“Nasdaq”), which apply so long as the shares of Class A common stock remain listed on Nasdaq, require stockholder
approval of certain issuances equal to or exceeding 20% of the then outstanding voting power or the then outstanding number of shares
of Class A common stock (we believe the position of Nasdaq is that the calculation in this latter case treats as outstanding shares of
Class A common stock issuable upon redemption or exchange of outstanding LLC Units not held by TWFG, Inc.). These additional shares of
Class A common stock may be used for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings, to raise additional capital or
to facilitate acquisitions.
One
of the effects of the existence of unissued and unreserved common stock or preferred stock may be to enable our board of directors to
issue shares to persons friendly to current management, which issuance could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain
control of our company by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, and thereby protect the continuity of our management
and possibly deprive the stockholders of opportunities to sell their shares at prices higher than prevailing market prices.
Dividends
The
DGCL permits a corporation to declare and pay dividends out of “surplus” or, if there is no “surplus,” out of
its net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year. “Surplus” is defined
as the excess of the net assets of the corporation over the amount determined to be the capital of the corporation by its board of directors.
The capital of the corporation is typically calculated to be (and cannot be less than) the aggregate par value of all issued shares of
capital stock. Net assets equals the fair value of the total assets minus total liabilities. The DGCL also provides that dividends may
not be paid out of net profits if, after the payment of the dividend, remaining capital would be less than the capital represented by
the outstanding stock of all classes having a preference upon the distribution of assets. Declaration and payment of any dividend is subject
to the discretion of our board of directors.
Stockholder meetings
Our
certificate of incorporation and our by-laws provide that annual stockholder meetings will be held at a date, time and place, if any,
as exclusively selected by our board of directors. Our by-laws provide that special meetings of the stockholders may be called only by
or at the direction of the board of directors, the chairman of our board, the vice chairman of our board or the chief executive officer.
To the extent permitted under applicable law, we may conduct meetings by remote communications, including by webcast.
Redemption and exchange
Under
the TWFG LLC Agreement, the Pre-IPO LLC Members have the right (subject to the terms of the TWFG LLC Agreement), to require TWFG Holding
Company, LLC to redeem all or a portion of the LLC Units held by such Pre-IPO LLC Member for, at our election, newly-issued shares of
Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis or a cash payment equal to the volume weighted average market price of one share of our Class
A common stock for each LLC Unit redeemed (subject to customary adjustments, including for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassifications)
in accordance with the terms of the TWFG LLC Agreement. Additionally, in the event of a redemption request by a Pre-IPO LLC Member, we
may, at our option, effect a direct exchange of cash or Class A common stock for LLC Units in lieu of such a redemption. Shares of non-economic
Class B common stock and non-economic Class C common stock will be cancelled on a one-for-one basis if we, at the election of a Pre-IPO
LLC Member, redeem or exchange LLC Units of such Pre-IPO LLC Member pursuant to the terms of the TWFG LLC Agreement.
Other provisions
The
Class A common stock, non-economic Class B common stock, or non-economic Class C common stock do not have any preemptive or other subscription
rights.
There
are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the Class A common stock, non-economic Class B common stock, or non-economic
Class C common stock.
At
such time when no LLC Units remain redeemable or exchangeable for shares of our Class A common stock, our non-economic Class B common
stock and non-economic Class C common stock will be cancelled.
Corporate opportunity
Our
certificate of incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the doctrine of “corporate opportunity”
only applies against our directors and officers and their respective affiliates for competing activities related to insurance brokerage
activities.
Certain certificate of incorporation, by-laws
and statutory provisions
The
provisions of our certificate of incorporation and by-laws and of the DGCL summarized below may have an anti-takeover effect and may delay,
defer or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt that you might consider in your best interest, including an attempt that might result
in your receipt of a premium over the market price for your shares of Class A common stock.
Forum selection
Our
certificate of incorporation provides that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, or as otherwise required
by law, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery does not have jurisdiction, the United States District
Court for the District of Delaware) is the sole and exclusive forum for any state court action for (i) any derivative action or proceeding
brought on our behalf, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee
of ours or our stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, our certificate of incorporation
or our by-laws, (iv) any action or proceeding to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of our certificate of incorporation
or our by-laws (including any right, obligation, or remedy thereunder), (v) any action or proceeding as to which the DGCL confer jurisdiction
to the Court of Chancery, or (vi) any action asserting a claim governed by the doctrine. This provision does not apply to claim (A) as
to which such Delaware Court determines that there is an indispensable party not subject to the jurisdiction of such Delaware Court (and
the indispensable party does not consent to the personal jurisdiction of such Delaware Court within ten days following such determination),
(B) which is vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of a court or forum other than the Delaware Courts, (C) for which the Delaware Courts
do not have subject matter jurisdiction, or (D) any action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), as to which the federal district courts for the United States of America have exclusive jurisdiction to the fullest extent
permitted by law, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum. In addition this provision does not apply to
suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any other claim for which
the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our capital
stock is deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the provisions of our certificate of incorporation described above. Although
we believe that these provisions benefit us by providing increased consistency in the application of Delaware law or the Securities Act,
as applicable, for the specified types of actions and proceedings, the provisions may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against
us or our directors and officers. Alternatively, if a court were to find any of the forum selection provisions contained in our certificate
of incorporation to be inapplicable or unenforceable, we may incur additional costs associated with having to litigate such action in
other jurisdictions, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects
and result in a diversion of the time and resources of our employees, management and board of directors.
Anti-takeover effects of our certificate
of incorporation and by-laws
Our
certificate of incorporation and by-laws contain certain provisions that are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability
in the composition of our board of directors and that may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a future takeover or change
in control of our company unless such takeover or change in control is approved by our board of directors. These provisions include:
No
cumulative voting. Under Delaware law, the right to vote cumulatively does not exist unless the certificate of incorporation specifically
authorizes cumulative voting. Our certificate of incorporation does not authorize cumulative voting. Therefore, stockholders holding a
majority in voting power of the shares of our stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors are able to elect all our
directors.
Election
and removal of directors. Our certificate of incorporation provides that our board shall consist of not less than three nor more than
eleven directors. Our certificate of incorporation also provides that, subject to the rights granted to one or more series of preferred
stock then outstanding, any vacancies on our board will be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors,
even if less than a quorum. Our certificate of incorporation provides that, for so long as Bunch Holdings and the Class C Permitted Holders,
collectively, hold at least 10% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of our common stock (such threshold, the “Substantial
Ownership Requirement”), Bunch Holdings and the Class C Permitted Holders may designate a majority of the nominees for election
to our board of directors, including the nominee to serve as Chairman of our board of directors.
In
addition, our certificate of incorporation provides that, following the time when Bunch Holdings and the Class C Permitted Holders, collectively,
no longer hold at least a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of our common stock (such threshold, the “Majority
Ownership Requirement”), and subject to obtaining any required stockholder votes, directors may only be removed for cause and by
the affirmative vote of holders of 75% of the total voting power of our outstanding shares of common stock, voting together as a single
class. This requirement of a super-majority vote to remove directors for cause could enable a minority of our stockholders to exercise
veto power over any such removal. Prior to such time, directors may be removed with or without cause by the affirmative vote of the holders
of a majority of the total voting power of our outstanding shares of common stock.
Springing
classified board. Initially and for so long as the Majority Ownership Requirement is met, our board of directors will not be classified,
and each of our directors will be subject to re-election annually. Following the time when the Majority Ownership Requirement is no longer
met, our board of directors will be divided into three classes of directors, with each class as equal in number as possible, serving staggered
three-year terms.
Action
by written consent; special meetings of stockholders. Our certificate of incorporation provides that, following the time that the
Majority Ownership Requirement is no longer met, stockholder action can be taken only at an annual or special meeting of stockholders
and cannot be taken by written consent in lieu of a meeting. Our certificate of incorporation and by-laws also provide that, subject to
any special rights of the holders as required by law, special meetings of the stockholders can only be called by a written resolution
adopted by a majority of the total number of directors that the board of directors would have if there were no vacancies, or by the chairman
or vice chairman of the board of directors or, until the time that the Majority Ownership Requirement is no longer met, at the request
of holders of a majority of the total voting power of our outstanding shares of common stock, voting together as a single class. Except
as described above, stockholders are not permitted to call a special meeting or to require the board of directors to call a special meeting.
Advance
notice procedures. Our by-laws establish an advance notice procedure for stockholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting
of our stockholders, including proposed nominations of persons for election to the board of directors. Stockholders at an annual meeting
are only able to consider proposals or nominations specified in the notice of meeting or brought before the meeting by or at the direction
of the board of directors or by a stockholder who was a stockholder of record on the record date for the meeting, who is entitled to vote
at the meeting and who has given our Secretary timely written notice, in proper form, of the stockholder’s intention to bring that
business before the meeting. Although the by-laws do not give our board of directors the power to approve or disapprove stockholder nominations
of candidates or proposals regarding other business to be conducted at a special or annual meeting, the by-laws may have the effect of
precluding the conduct of certain business at a meeting if the proper procedures are not followed or may discourage or deter a potential
acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect its own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our
company.
Super-majority
approval requirements. The DGCL generally provides that the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the total voting power
of the shares entitled to vote on any matter is required to amend a corporation’s certificate of incorporation or by-laws, unless
either a corporation’s certificate of incorporation or by-laws require a greater percentage. Our certificate of incorporation and
by-laws provide that, following the time that the Majority Ownership Requirement is no longer met, the affirmative vote of holders of
75% of the total voting power of our outstanding common stock eligible to vote in the election of directors, voting together as a single
class, will be required to amend, alter, change or repeal specified provisions, including those relating to actions by written consent
of stockholders, calling of special meetings of stockholders, business combinations and amendment of our certificate of incorporation
and by-laws. This requirement of a super-majority vote to approve amendments to our certificate of incorporation and by-laws could enable
a minority of our stockholders to exercise veto power over any such amendments.
Authorized
but unissued shares. The authorized but unissued shares of common stock and preferred stock are available for future issuance without
stockholder approval, subject to any limitations imposed by the listing rules of Nasdaq. The existence of authorized but unissued and
unreserved common stock and preferred stock could make more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy
contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.
Business
combinations with interested stockholders. In general, Section 203 of the DGCL prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from
engaging in a business combination, such as a merger, with a person or group owning 15% or more of the corporation’s voting stock
for a period of three years following the date the person became an interested stockholder, unless (with certain exceptions) the business
combination or the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder is approved in a prescribed manner. We have expressly
elected not to be governed by the “business combination” provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL, until after the Majority Ownership
Requirement is no longer met. At that time, such election shall be automatically withdrawn and we will thereafter be governed by the “business
combination” provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL.
Directors’ liability; indemnification
of directors and officers
Our
certificate of incorporation limits the liability of our directors to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL and provides that we will
provide them with customary indemnification. We have entered into customary indemnification agreements with each of our executive officers
and directors that provide them, in general, with customary indemnification in connection with their service to us or on our behalf.
Transfer agent and registrar
Continental
Stock Transfer & Trust Company is the transfer agent and registrar for our common stock. Its address is 1 State Street, 30th Floor,
New York NY 10004, and its telephone number is 212-509-4000.
Listing
Our
Class A common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “TWFG.”
DESCRIPTION OF DEPOSITARY SHARES
We may issue preferred stock
either separately or represented by depositary shares. We may also, at our option, issue fractional shares of preferred stock rather than
full shares of preferred stock. If we exercise this option, we will issue receipts for depositary shares, and each of these depositary
shares will represent a fraction (to be set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to such depositary shares) of a share of a particular
series of preferred stock.
The shares of any series of
preferred stock represented by the depositary shares will be deposited under a deposit agreement between us and a bank or trust company
selected by us. The depositary will have its principal office in the United States and a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000.
Subject to the terms of the deposit agreement, each owner of a depositary share will be entitled, in proportion to the applicable share
or fraction thereof represented by the depositary share, to all of the rights and preferences of the preferred stock represented thereby.
Those rights may include dividend, voting, redemption, conversion and liquidation rights. The depositary shares will be evidenced by depositary
receipts issued under a deposit agreement.
We will describe the material
terms of the deposit agreement, the depositary shares and the depositary receipts in a prospectus supplement relating to the depositary
shares. You should also refer to the forms of the deposit agreement and depositary receipts that will be filed with the SEC in connection
with the offering of the specific depositary shares.
DESCRIPTION
OF WARRANTS
This
section describes the general terms and provisions of the warrants. A prospectus supplement will describe the specific terms of the warrants
offered through that prospectus supplement and any general terms outlined in this section that will not apply to those warrants.
We
may issue warrants for the purchase of common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares or other securities. Warrants may be issued alone
or together with common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, other securities or any combination of these securities in the form
of units, offered by any prospectus supplement and may be attached to or separate from those securities. Each series of warrants will
be issued under a separate warrant agreement between us and a bank or trust company, as warrant agent, which will be described in the
applicable prospectus supplement. The securities warrant agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the warrants and will
not act as an agent or trustee for any holders of warrants.
We
have summarized the material terms and provisions of the warrant agreements and warrants in this section. We will file the form of warrant
agreement for common stock (including the form of warrant), the form of warrant agreement for preferred stock (including the form of
warrant), and the form of warrant agreement for depositary shares (including the form of warrant) with the SEC either as an exhibit to
an amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K. You
should read the applicable forms of warrant agreement and warrant certificate for additional information before you buy any warrants.
General
If
we offer warrants, the applicable prospectus supplement will identify the warrant agent and describe the terms of the warrants we offer,
the warrant agreement relating to the warrants and the certificates representing the warrants, including the following:
| ● | the
title of the warrants; |
| ● | the
aggregate number of warrants; |
| ● | the
price or prices at which the warrants will be issued; |
| ● | the
currency or currencies, including composite currencies or currency units, in which the price
of the warrants may be payable if not payable in U.S. dollars; |
| ● | the

and terms of the securities purchasable upon exercise of the warrants, and the procedures
and conditions relating to the exercise of the warrants; |
| ● | if

and the currency in which the principal amount of such securities may be purchased upon such
exercise; |
| ● | the
date on which the right to exercise the warrants shall commence and the date on which the
right to exercise shall expire; |
| ● | the
maximum or minimum number of warrants that may be exercised at any time; |
| ● | if
applicable, the United States federal income tax considerations; |
| ● | whether
the warrants will be issued in registered or bearer form; and |
| ● | any
other terms of the warrants. |
You
may, at the corporate trust offices of the warrant agent or any other office indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement:
| ● | exchange
warrant certificates for new warrant certificates of different denominations; |
| ● | if
the warrant certificates are in registered form, present them for registration of transfer;
and |
| ● | exercise
warrant certificates. |
Exercise
of Warrants
Each
warrant will entitle the holder of the warrant to purchase at the exercise price set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement the
principal amount of common stock, preferred stock or depositary shares, or combination thereof, being offered. Holders may exercise warrants
at any time up to the close of business on the expiration date set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. After the close of
business on the expiration date, unexercised warrants are void. Holders may exercise warrants as set forth in the prospectus supplement
relating to the warrants being offered.
Until
holders exercise their warrants to purchase our common stock, preferred stock, or depositary shares, or combination thereof, holders
will not have any rights as a holder of our common stock, preferred stock or depositary shares, as the case may be, by virtue of their
ownership of warrants.
DESCRIPTION
OF PURCHASE CONTRACTS
The
following is a general description of the terms of the purchase contracts we may issue from time to time. The applicable prospectus supplement
will describe the terms of any purchase contracts and, if applicable, prepaid purchase contracts. The description in the prospectus supplement
will be qualified in its entirety by reference to (1) the purchase contracts, (2) the collateral arrangements and depositary arrangements,
if applicable, relating to such purchase contracts and (3) if applicable, the prepaid purchase contracts and the document pursuant to
which such prepaid purchase contracts will be issued.
We
may issue purchase contracts, including contracts obligating holders to purchase from us, and obligating us to sell to holders, a fixed
or varying number of shares of common stock, preferred stock or depositary shares at a future date or dates. The consideration may be
fixed at the time that the purchase contracts are issued or may be determined by reference to a specific formula set forth in the purchase
contracts. Any purchase contract may include anti-dilution provisions to adjust the number of shares issuable pursuant to such purchase
contract, as applicable, upon the occurrence of certain events.
DESCRIPTION
OF RIGHTS
We
may issue rights to purchase one or more of the securities described in this prospectus in any combination. These rights may be issued
independently or together with any other security offered hereby and may or may not be transferable by the holder receiving the rights
in such offering. In connection with any offering of such rights, we may enter into a standby arrangement with one or more underwriters
or other purchasers pursuant to which the underwriters or other purchasers may be required to purchase any securities remaining unsubscribed
after such offering.
Each
series of rights will be issued under a separate rights agreement, which we will enter into with a bank or trust company, as rights agent,
all as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.
The
applicable prospectus supplement will describe the specific terms of any offering of rights for which this prospectus is being delivered,
including, among other things, the following:
| ● | the
date of determining the holders entitled to the rights distribution; |
| ● | the
number of rights issued or to be issued to each holder; |
| ● | the
exercise price payable for each security upon the exercise of the rights; |
| ● | the
number and terms of the securities that may be purchased per each right; |
| ● | the
extent to which the rights are transferable; |
| ● | the
date on which the holder’s ability to exercise the rights shall commence, and the date
on which the rights shall expire; |
| ● | the
extent to which the rights may include an over-subscription privilege with respect to unsubscribed
securities; |
| ● | if
applicable, the material terms of any standby underwriting or purchase arrangement entered
into by us in connection with the offering of such rights; |
| ● | any
other terms of the rights, including the terms, procedures, conditions, and limitations relating
to the exchange and exercise of the rights; and |
| ● | if
applicable, a discussion of material U.S. federal income tax considerations. |
The
description in the applicable prospectus supplement of any rights that we may offer will not necessarily be complete and will be qualified
in its entirety by reference to the applicable rights certificate, which will be filed with the SEC.
DESCRIPTION
OF UNITS
We
may, from time to time, issue units comprised of one or more of the other securities described in this prospectus in any combination.
A prospectus supplement will describe the specific terms of the units offered under that prospectus supplement, and any special considerations,
including tax considerations, applicable to investing in those units. You must review the applicable prospectus supplement and any applicable
unit agreement for a full understanding of the specific terms of any units. We will incorporate by reference into the registration statement
of which this prospectus is a part the form of unit agreement, including a form of unit certificate, if any, that describes the terms
of the series of units we are offering. While the terms we have summarized below will generally apply to any future units that we may
offer under this prospectus, we will describe the particular terms of any series of units that we may offer in more detail in the applicable
prospectus supplement and incorporated documents. The terms of any units offered under a prospectus supplement may differ from the terms
described below.
General
Each
unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, the holder of a unit
will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security. The unit agreement under which a unit is issued may provide
that the securities included in the unit may not be held or transferred separately, at any time, or at any time before a specified date.
As
specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, we may issue units consisting of one or more of the other securities described in
this prospectus in any combination. In addition, we will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement and any incorporated documents
the terms of any series of units we issue, including the following:
| ● | the
designation and terms of the units and of the securities comprising the units, including
whether and under what circumstances those securities may be held or transferred separately; |
| ● | whether
we will apply to have the units traded on a securities exchange or securities quotation system; |
| ● | if
applicable, any material United States federal income tax consequences; |
| ● | how,
for United States federal income tax purposes, the purchase price paid for the units is to
be allocated among the component securities; |
| ● | any
provisions of the governing unit agreement that differ from those described below; |
| ● | any
provisions for the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer, or exchange of the units or of
the securities comprising the units; and |
| ● | any
other information we think is important about the units. |
The
provisions described in this section, as well as those described under the other sections describing the securities offered by this prospectus,
will apply to each unit and to any of such other securities included in each unit.
Issuance
in Series
We
may issue units in such amounts and in such numerous distinct series as we determine.
Enforceability
of Rights by Holders of Units
Each
unit agent will act solely as our agent under the applicable unit agreement and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency
or trust with any holder of any unit. A single bank or trust company may act as unit agent for more than one series of units. A unit
agent will have no duty or responsibility in case of any default by us under the applicable unit agreement or unit, including any duty
or responsibility to initiate any proceedings at law or otherwise, or to make any demand upon us. Any holder of a unit, without the consent
of the related unit agent or the holder of any other unit, may enforce by appropriate legal action its rights as holder under any security
included in the unit.
Title
We,
the unit agent, and any of their agents may treat the registered holder of any unit certificate as an absolute owner of the units evidenced
by that certificate for any purposes and as the person entitled to exercise the rights attaching to the units so requested, despite any
notice to the contrary.
SELLING
STOCKHOLDERS
The
selling stockholders listed below and their permitted transferees, pledgees or other successors may from time to time offer the shares
of our Class A common stock offered by this prospectus. The table below sets forth information with respect to the beneficial ownership
of our Class A common stock, Class B common stock and Class C common stock for each of the selling stockholders.
Beneficial
ownership is determined in accordance with SEC rules. The information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other
purpose. In general, under these rules a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any
contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise has or shares voting power or investment power with respect to such security.
A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of a security if that person has the right to acquire beneficial ownership of such security
within 60 days. To our knowledge, except as otherwise indicated, and subject to applicable community property laws, the persons named
in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of Class A common stock, Class B common stock and Class
C common stock beneficially owned by that person.
In
connection with the IPO, 342,362 LLC Units held by Bunch Holdings were exchanged into shares of Class A common stock, Bunch Holdings
was issued non-economic Class C common stock in an amount equal to the remaining number of LLC Units then held by Bunch Holdings and
each of the other Pre-IPO LLC Members was issued shares of our non-economic Class B common stock in an amount equal to the number of
LLC Units then held by each such Pre-IPO LLC Member. Under the TWFG LLC Agreement, the Pre-IPO LLC Members have the right (subject to
the terms of the TWFG LLC Agreement), to require TWFG Holding Company, LLC to redeem all or a portion of their LLC Units for, at our
election, newly-issued shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis or a cash payment equal to the volume weighted average market
price of one share of our Class A common stock for each LLC Unit redeemed (subject to customary adjustments, including for stock splits,
stock dividends and reclassifications) in accordance with the terms of the TWFG LLC Agreement. Additionally, in the event of a redemption
request by a holder of LLC Units, we may, at our option, effect a direct exchange of cash or Class A common stock for LLC Units in lieu
of such a redemption. Shares of non-economic Class B common stock or non-economic Class C common stock, as applicable, will be cancelled
on a one-for-one basis if we, following a redemption request of a holder of LLC Units, redeem or exchange LLC Units of such holder of
LLC Units pursuant to the terms of the TWFG LLC Agreement.
The
number of shares of Class A common stock, Class B common stock and Class C common stock outstanding and percentage of beneficial ownership
before this offering set forth below is computed on the basis of 15,005,464 shares of our Class A common stock issued and outstanding
as of July 21, 2025, 7,277,651 shares of our Class B common stock issued and outstanding as of July 21, 2025 and 33,893,810
shares of our Class C common stock issued and outstanding as of July 21, 2025. The number of shares of Class A common stock, Class
B common stock and Class C common stock and percentage of beneficial ownership after the consummation of this offering set forth below
are based on the number of shares to be issued and outstanding immediately after the consummation of this offering. Shares of our Class
A common stock that a person has the right to acquire within 60 days of July 21, 2025 (including the right to exchange described
above) are deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of such person’s holdings, but are not deemed
outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.
The
selling stockholders listed in the table below may have sold, transferred, otherwise disposed of or purchased, or may sell, transfer,
otherwise dispose of or purchase, at any time and from time to time, shares of our Class A common stock and/or LLC Units in transactions
exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, or in the open market after the date on which they provided the information
set forth in the table below.
The
maximum number of shares of Class A common stock offered hereby assumes, if applicable, that the selling stockholders exchange all of
their LLC Units held on the date on which they provided the information set forth in the table below and we elect to satisfy all exchange
requests by issuing only shares of Class A common stock. The selling stockholders may offer for sale all, some or none of the shares
of Class A common stock that may be offered pursuant to this prospectus and may do so from time to time during the effectiveness of this
registration statement as and when they redeem LLC Units for shares of Class A common stock. Therefore, it is difficult to estimate with
any degree of certainty the aggregate number of shares that the selling stockholders will ultimately offer pursuant to this prospectus
or that the selling stockholders will ultimately own upon completion of any offerings to which this prospectus relates.
Information
about additional selling stockholders, if any, including their identities and the Class A common stock to be registered on their behalf,
may be set forth in a prospectus supplement, in a post-effective amendment or in filings that we make with the SEC under the Exchange
Act, which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus. Information concerning the selling stockholders may change from time to
time. Any changes to the information provided below will be set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in a post-effective amendment
or in filings we make with the SEC under the Exchange Act, which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus, if and when necessary.
To
our knowledge, except as set forth in the footnotes to this table and subject to any applicable community property laws, each person
named in the table has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares set forth opposite such person’s name.

PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
General
We
or the selling stockholders may sell the applicable securities offered by this prospectus from time to time in one or more transactions,
including without limitation:
| ● | directly
to one or more purchasers; |
| ● | to
or through underwriters, brokers or dealers; |
| ● | through
a combination of any of these methods; or |
| ● | any
other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
A
distribution of the securities offered by this prospectus may also be effected through the issuance of derivative securities, including
without limitation, warrants, subscriptions, exchangeable securities, forward delivery contracts and the writing of options.
In
addition, the manner in which we or the selling stockholders may sell some or all of the securities covered by this prospectus includes,
without limitation, through:
| ● | one
or more underwritten offerings; |
| ● | block
trades in which a broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent, but may position
or resell a portion of the block, as principal, in order to facilitate the transaction; |
| ● | purchases
by a broker-dealer, as principal, and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
| ● | ordinary
brokerage transactions and transactions in which a broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
| ● | a
distribution in-kind to a selling stockholder’s direct or indirect partners, members
or equity holders; |
| ● | privately
negotiated transactions; |
| ● | settlement
of short sales; |
| ● | transactions
through broker-dealers to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price
per security; |
| ● | a
distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable securities exchange; |
| ● | a
combination of any such methods of distribution; or |
| ● | any
other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
As
described above, a selling stockholder that is an entity may elect to make a pro rata in-kind distribution of the shares of Class A common
stock held by it to its direct or indirect members, partners or equity holders pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus
is a part by delivering a prospectus, as amended or supplemented. To the extent that such members, partners or equity holders are not
affiliates of ours, such members, partners or equity holders would thereby receive freely tradeable Class A common stock pursuant to
the distribution under this prospectus. To the extent a distributee is an affiliate of ours (or to the extent otherwise required by law),
we may file a prospectus supplement to permit the distributees to use the prospectus to resell the securities acquired in the distribution.
The selling stockholders may also sell Class A common stock under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities
Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus. There can be no assurance that the selling stockholders will sell any or all of
the shares of Class A common stock registered pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. The selling
stockholders may also transfer shares of our Class A common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or
other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
We
or the selling stockholders may also enter into derivative or hedging transactions. For example, we or one or more of the selling stockholders
may:
| ● | enter
into transactions with a broker-dealer or affiliate thereof in connection with which such
broker-dealer or affiliate will engage in short sales of the Class A common stock pursuant
to this prospectus, in which case such broker-dealer or affiliate may use shares of Class
A common stock received from us or one or more of the selling stockholders to close out its
short positions; |
| ● | sell
securities short and redeliver such shares to close out our or one or more of the selling
stockholders’ short positions; |
| ● | enter
into option or other types of transactions that require us or one or more of the selling
stockholders to deliver Class A common stock to a broker-dealer or an affiliate thereof,
who will then resell or transfer the Class A common stock under this prospectus; or |
| ● | loan
or pledge the Class A common stock to a broker-dealer or an affiliate thereof, who may sell
the loaned shares or, in an event of default in the case of a pledge, sell the pledged shares
pursuant to this prospectus. |
In
addition, we or the selling stockholders may enter into derivative or hedging transactions with third parties, or sell securities not
covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. In connection with such a transaction, the third parties
may sell the applicable securities covered by and pursuant to this prospectus and an applicable prospectus supplement. If so, the third
party may use securities borrowed from us or one or more selling stockholders or others to settle such sales and may use securities received
from us or one or more selling stockholders to close out any related short positions. We or the selling stockholders may also loan or
pledge securities covered by this prospectus and an applicable prospectus supplement to third parties, who may sell the loaned securities
or, in an event of default in the case of a pledge, sell the pledged securities pursuant to this prospectus and the applicable prospectus
supplement.
One
or more of the selling stockholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in shares of our Class A common stock
beneficially held by it and, if such selling stockholder defaults in the performance of its secured obligations, the pledgees or secured
parties may offer and sell such shares of Class A common stock from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment or supplement
to this prospectus amending the list of the selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors-in-interest as
the selling stockholder under this prospectus.
A
prospectus supplement with respect to each offering of securities will state the terms of the offering of the securities, including:
| ● | the
name or names of any underwriters, agents or dealers and the amounts of securities underwritten
or purchased by each of them, if any; |
| ● | the
public offering price or purchase price of the securities and the net proceeds to be received
by us from the sale; |
| ● | any
delayed delivery arrangements; |
| ● | any
underwriting discounts, commissions or agency fees and other items constituting underwriters’
or agents’ compensation; |
| ● | any
discounts, commissions, concessions or other compensation allowed or reallowed or paid to
dealers; and |
| ● | any
securities exchange or markets on which the securities may be listed. |
The
offer and sale of the securities described in this prospectus by us, the selling stockholders, the underwriters or the third parties
described above may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions, including privately negotiated transactions, either:
| ● | at
a fixed price or prices, which may be changed; |
| ● | at
market prices prevailing at the time of sale; |
| ● | at
prices related to the prevailing market prices; or |
The
aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholders from the sale of shares of our Class A common stock offered by them will be the purchase
price of such shares of our Class A common stock less discounts or commissions, if any. The selling stockholders each reserve the right
to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of shares of our Class
A common stock to be made directly or through agents.
We
will not receive any of the proceeds from any offering by a selling stockholder. We will bear all fees and costs relating to all of the
securities being registered under the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.
To
the extent required, this prospectus may be amended or supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution.
Underwriting
Compensation
Any
public offering price and any fees, discounts, commissions, concessions or other items constituting compensation allowed or reallowed
or paid to underwriters, dealers or agents may be changed from time to time. The selling stockholders and any underwriters, dealers and
agents and remarketing firms that participate in the distribution of the offered securities may be “underwriters” within
the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts or commissions that such underwriters, dealers and agents and remarketing
firms receive and any profits they receive on the resale of the offered securities may be treated as underwriting discounts and commissions
under the Securities Act. We have advised the selling stockholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange
Act may apply to sales of securities in the market and to the activities of the selling stockholders and their respective affiliates.
We will identify any underwriters, agents or dealers and describe their fees, commissions or discounts in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Underwriters
and Agents
If
underwriters are used in a sale, they will acquire the offered securities for their own account. The underwriters may resell the offered
securities in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions. These sales may be made at a fixed public offering price or
prices, which may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of the sale, at prices related to such prevailing market price
or at negotiated prices. We or the selling stockholders may offer the securities to the public either through an underwriting syndicate
represented by one or more managing underwriters or through one or more underwriter(s). The underwriters in any particular offering will
be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Unless
otherwise specified in connection with any particular offering of securities, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the offered
securities will be subject to certain conditions contained in an underwriting agreement that we and, if applicable, the one or more of
the selling stockholders, will enter into with the underwriters at the time of the sale to them. The underwriters will be obligated to
purchase all of the securities of the series offered if any of the securities are purchased, unless otherwise specified in connection
with any particular offering of securities. Any initial offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed, reallowed or paid to
dealers may be changed from time to time.
Securities
may be sold directly by us or the selling stockholders or through agents designated by us or one or more of the selling stockholders
from time to time. Any agent involved in the offer or sale of the securities in respect of which this prospectus and a prospectus supplement
is delivered will be named, and any commissions payable by us or the selling stockholders to such agent will be set forth, in the prospectus
supplement. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, any such agent will be acting on a best efforts basis for the period
of its appointment.
In
connection with offerings made through underwriters or agents, we may enter into agreements with such underwriters or agents pursuant
to which we receive our outstanding securities in consideration for the securities being offered to the public for cash. In connection
with these arrangements, the underwriters or agents may also sell securities covered by this prospectus to hedge their positions in these
outstanding securities, including in short sale transactions. If so, the underwriters or agents may use the securities received from
us under these arrangements to close out any related open borrowings of securities.
Because
the selling stockholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act, they
may be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, including Rule 172 thereunder. We will make copies of this
prospectus available to the selling stockholders and are informing the selling stockholders of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus
to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).
Dealers
We
or the selling stockholders may sell the offered securities to dealers as principals. We or the selling stockholders may negotiate and
pay dealers’ commissions, discounts or concessions for their services. The dealer may then resell such securities to the public
either at varying prices to be determined by the dealer or at a fixed offering price agreed to with us or one or more of the selling
stockholders at the time of resale. Dealers engaged by us or the selling stockholders may allow other dealers to participate in resales.
Direct
Sales
We
or the selling stockholders may choose to sell the offered securities directly to multiple purchasers or a single purchaser. In this
case, no underwriters or agents would be involved.
At-the-Market
Offerings
We
may also sell the securities offered by any applicable prospectus supplement in “at the market offerings” within the meaning
of Rule 415 of the Securities Act, to or through a market maker or into an existing trading market, on an exchange or otherwise.
Institutional
Purchasers
We
may authorize agents, dealers or underwriters to solicit certain institutional investors to purchase offered securities on a delayed
delivery basis pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified future date. The applicable prospectus
supplement will provide the details of any such arrangement, including the offering price and commissions payable on the solicitations.
We
will enter into such delayed contracts only with institutional purchasers that we approve. These institutions may include commercial
and savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment companies and educational and charitable institutions.
Indemnification;
Other Relationships
We
or the selling stockholders may agree to indemnify underwriters, dealers and agents against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities
under the Securities Act and to make contributions to them in connection with those liabilities. Underwriters, dealers and agents, and
their affiliates, may engage in transactions with, or perform services for us, and our affiliates, in the ordinary course of business,
including commercial banking transactions and services.
Market
Making, Stabilization and Other Transactions
Each
series of securities will be a new issue of securities and will have no established trading market other than the Class A common stock
which is listed on the Nasdaq. If the offered securities are traded after their initial issuance, they may trade at a discount from their
initial offering price, depending upon prevailing interest rates, the market for similar securities and other factors. While it is possible
that an underwriter could inform us that it intends to make a market in the offered securities, such underwriter would not be obligated
to do so, and any such market-making could be discontinued at any time without notice. Therefore, no assurance can be given as to whether
an active trading market will develop for the offered securities. We have no current plans for listing of the preferred stock on any
securities exchange or quotation system; any such listing with respect to any preferred stock will be described in the applicable
prospectus supplement.
In
connection with any offering of Class A common stock, preferred stock or securities that provide for the issuance of shares of our Class
A common stock upon conversion, exchange or exercise, as the case may be, the underwriters may purchase and sell shares of our Class
A common stock or preferred stock in the open market. These transactions may include short sales, syndicate covering transactions and
stabilizing transactions. Short sales involve syndicate sales of Class A common stock in excess of the number of shares to be purchased
by the underwriters in the offering, which creates a syndicate short position. “Covered” short sales are sales of shares
made in an amount up to the number of shares represented by the underwriters’ over-allotment option. In determining the source
of shares to close out the covered syndicate short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares
available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase shares through the over-allotment option.
Transactions to close out the covered syndicate short involve either purchases of the Class A common stock in the open market after the
distribution has been completed or the exercise of the over-allotment option. The underwriters may also make “naked” short
sales of shares in excess of the over-allotment option. The underwriters must close out any naked short position by purchasing shares
of Class A common stock in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that
there may be downward pressure on the price of the shares in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who
purchase in the offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of bids for or purchases of shares in the open market while the offering is
in progress for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the securities.
In
connection with any offering, the underwriters may also engage in penalty bids. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling
concession from a syndicate member when the securities originally sold by the syndicate member are purchased in a syndicate covering
transaction to cover syndicate short positions. Stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may cause
the price of the securities to be higher than it would be in the absence of the transactions. The underwriters may, if they commence
these transactions, discontinue them at any time.
LEGAL
MATTERS
The
validity of the securities and certain other matters will be passed upon for us by Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP, Houston, Texas.
Certain legal matters will passed upon for any underwriters, dealers or agents by the law firm identified as counsel to such underwriters,
dealers or agents in the applicable prospectus supplement.
EXPERTS
The
consolidated financial statements of TWFG, Inc. incorporated by reference in this prospectus, have been audited by Deloitte & Touche
LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report. Such consolidated financial statements are incorporated
by reference in reliance upon the report of such firm, given their authority as experts in accounting and auditing.

Item
15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
The
Registrant’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that the Registrant’s directors and officers will
not be liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. Any amendment to,
or repeal of, these provisions will not eliminate or reduce the effect of these provisions in respect of any act, omission or claim that
occurred or arose prior to that amendment or repeal. In addition, if the DGCL is amended to authorize the further elimination or limitation
of the liability of directors, then the liability of a director or officer of the Registrant will be limited to the fullest extent permitted
by the amended DGCL. The Registrant will indemnify, and advance expenses to, any officer or director to the fullest extent authorized
by the DGCL.
Section
145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses,
including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with specified actions, suits and proceedings
whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, other than a derivative action by or in the right of the corporation, if they
acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable
in the case of derivative actions, except that indemnification extends only to expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred in
connection with the defense or settlement of such action and the statute requires court approval before there can be any indemnification
where the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation. The statute provides that it is not exclusive of other
indemnification that may be granted by a corporation’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws, disinterested director vote, stockholder
vote, agreement or otherwise.
Reference
is made to the form of Underwriting Agreement, which will be included or incorporated by reference as an exhibit to this registration
statement for provisions regarding indemnification of the Registrant’s officers, directors and controlling persons against specified
liabilities.

Item
17. Undertakings
| (a) | The
undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: |
| (1) | To
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made; a post-effective amendment
to this registration statement: |
| (i) | to
include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “Securities Act”); |
| (ii) | to
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration
statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in
the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration
statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities
offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering
range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b)
if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change
in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Filing Fee
Tables” table in the effective registration statement; |
| (iii) | to
include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously
disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the
registration statement; |
provided,
however, that subparagraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective
amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or
Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or
is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.
| (2) | That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective
amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof. |
| (3) | To
remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being
registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. |
| (4) | That,
for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser: |
| (A) | Each
prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part
of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and
included in the registration statement; and |
| (B) | Each
prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of
a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to
Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by
Section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration
statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness
or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the
prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person
that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date
of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to
which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement
made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement
or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration
statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser
with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement
that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration
statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date; or |
| (5) | That,
for the purpose of determining liability of the Registrant under the Securities Act to any
purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned Registrant undertakes
that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned Registrant pursuant to this registration
statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser,
if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following
communications, the undersigned Registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be
considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: |
| (i) | Any
preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned Registrant relating to the offering
required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; |
| (ii) | Any
free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned
Registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned Registrant; |
| (iii) | The
portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material
information about the undersigned Registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of
the undersigned Registrant; and |
| (iv) | Any
other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned Registrant to
the purchaser. |
| (b) | The
undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for the purpose of determining any liability
under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of
an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange
Act) that is incorporated by reference in this registration statement shall be deemed to
be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering
of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
| (c) | Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment
by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person
of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted
by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered,
the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. |

Pursuant
to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that
it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-3 and duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in The Woodlands, Texas, on August 6, 2025.
