Preferred Stock shall be entitled to preemptive or subscription rights other than as may be set forth in an agreement
to which the Corporation is a party.
Section 3. Common Stock.

held of record by such holder.
(ii) Each holder of Class B Common Stock shall initially be entitled to ten (10) votes for each share of Class B

or (iii) September 30, 2029, each holder Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote per share.
(iii) [Reserved].
(iv) Except as otherwise required in this Restated Certificate or by applicable law, the holders of Class A Common
Stock and Class B Common Stock shall vote together as a single class on all matters on which stockholders are
generally entitled to vote (and, if any holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to vote together with the holders of
Common Stock as a single class, with such holders of Preferred Stock).
(v) The holders of shares of Common Stock shall not have cumulative voting rights.
(vi) The holders of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to
vote separately as a class upon any amendment to this Restated Certificate (including by merger, consolidation,
reorganization or similar event or otherwise) that would increase or decrease the par value of a class of stock or alter
or change the powers, preferences, or special rights of a class of stock so as to affect them adversely.
(vii) Subject to the rights of the holders of Class A Common Stock, the number of authorized shares of Class A
Common Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the
approval of the Board of Directors and by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the
outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in an election of directors, without
the separate vote of the holders of the Class A Common Stock as a class, irrespective of the provisions of Section
242(b)(2) of the DGCL
(viii) Subject to the rights of the holders of Class B Common Stock, the number of authorized shares of Class B
Common Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the
approval of the Board of Directors and by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the
outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in an election of directors, without
the separate vote of the holders of the Class B Common Stock as a class, irrespective of the provisions of Section
242(b)(2) of the DGCL.
(b) Dividends. Subject to applicable law and the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of Preferred
Stock or any class or series of stock having a preference over or the right to participate with the Class A Common
Stock with respect to the payment of dividends in cash, stock or property of the Corporation, such dividends may be
declared and paid on the Class A Common Stock out of the assets of the Corporation that are by law available
therefor, at such times and in such amounts as the Board of Directors in its discretion shall determine. Dividends
shall not be declared or paid on the Class B Common Stock. Any amendment to this Restated Certificate that gives
holders of the Class B Common Stock any rights to receive dividends or any other kind of distribution shall require,
in addition to any other vote of stockholders required by applicable law, the affirmative vote of holders of a majority
of the voting power of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, voting separately as a class.
(c) Liquidation, Dissolution, etc. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up
of the affairs of the Corporation, after payment or provision for payment of the debts and other liabilities of the
Corporation as required by law and of the preferential and other amounts, if any, to which the holders of Preferred
Stock shall be entitled, the holders of all outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock shall be entitled to receive
the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution ratably in proportion to the number of shares held
by each such stockholder. The holders of shares of Class B Common Stock shall not be entitled to receive any assets
of the Corporation in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs
of the Corporation. Any amendment to this Restated Certificate that gives holders of the Class B Common Stock the
right to receive distributions upon liquidation or additional economic rights shall require, in addition to any other
vote required by applicable law, the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding
shares of Class A Common Stock, voting separately as a class.
(d) Reclassification. Neither the Class A Common Stock nor the Class B Common Stock may be subdivided, split,
consolidated, reclassified, or otherwise changed (whether by amendment, merger, consolidation or otherwise) unless
contemporaneously therewith the other class of Common Stock and the common units (the “LLC Units”) of New
Ryan Specialty, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “LLC”), are subdivided, consolidated, reclassified,
or otherwise changed in the same proportion and in the same manner.
(e) Exchange. The holders of Class B Common Stock other than the Corporation shall, to the extent provided in the
LLC Operating Agreement (defined below) and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the LLC Operating
Agreement, as applicable, have the right to exchange the LLC Units held by them for fully paid and nonassessable
shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis or, at the Corporation’s election, for cash. Upon the
exchange of an LLC Unit for one share of Class A Common Stock in accordance with the terms and conditions of
the LLC Operating Agreement, the exchanging holder shall automatically and without further action on the part of
the Corporation or any holder of Class B Common Stock transfer an equivalent number of Class B Common Stock
to the Corporation, which may not be reissued and shall be automatically retired and cancelled and shall no longer
be issued or outstanding. The Corporation shall, at all times when any shares of Class B Common Stock and LLC
Units shall be outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Class A Common Stock
such number of shares of Class A Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the exchange of
all outstanding LLC Units into shares of Class A Common Stock in accordance with the terms of LLC Operating
Agreement. If at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock shall not be
sufficient to effect the exchange of all outstanding LLC Units, the Corporation shall take such corporate actions
within its power as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to cause this Restated Certificate to be amended
so as to increase the number of authorized shares of Class A Common Stock to such number as shall be sufficient
for such purpose. Following the transfer of all outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock to the Corporation
pursuant to this Section 3(e), the Corporation shall not issue further shares of Class B Common Stock. “LLC
Operating Agreement” means that certain Third Amended and Restated Operating Agreement of New Ryan
Specialty, LLC, dated as of July 5, 2023, as it may be amended and/or restated from time to time.
(f) Automatic Transfer.
(i) No share of Class B Common Stock may be sold, exchanged or otherwise transferred, other than in connection
with (A) the exchange of an LLC Unit as set forth in Section 3(e) of ARTICLE FOUR hereof and in accordance
with the terms and conditions of the LLC Operating Agreement, (B) the transfer of an LLC Unit by a holder of LLC
Units to certain permitted transferees pursuant to the terms of the LLC Operating Agreement and (C) transfers to the
Corporation permitted by the LLC Operating Agreement. In the event that any outstanding shares of Class B
Common Stock are sold, exchanged or otherwise transferred other than as provided in the foregoing clauses (A), (B)
and (C), or such outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock shall otherwise cease to be held by a holder of a
corresponding number, based on the exchange rate then in effect, of LLC Units (including a transferee of a LLC
Unit) for any reason, such shares of Class B Common Stock shall upon such sale, exchange or other transfer, or
upon ceasing to be held by such holder, automatically and without further action on the part of the Corporation or
any holder of Class B Common Stock be transferred to the Corporation for no consideration and may not be reissued
and thereupon shall be automatically retired and cancelled and shall no longer be issued or outstanding.
(ii) [Reserved].
(g) No Preemptive or Subscription Rights. No holder of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to preemptive or
subscription rights other than as may be set forth in an agreement to which the Corporation is a party.

directors shall be elected by the vote of the majority of the votes cast in favor of such nominee’s election at any
meeting of stockholders held to elect directors at which a quorum is present; provided, however, that, if the number
of nominees for director exceeds the number of directors to be elected, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the
votes cast at any meeting of stockholders held to elect directors at which a quorum is present. For purposes of this
Section 3, a majority of the votes cast means that the number of shares voted “for” a nominee must exceed the
number of shares voted “against” that nominee.

Corporation, other than those who may be elected by the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, shall be divided
into three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible, hereby designated Class I, Class II and Class III. Each
director elected at the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders shall be elected for a term expiring at the 2027 annual
meeting of stockholders. Each director elected at the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders shall be elected for a term
expiring at the 2028 annual meeting of stockholders. At the 2028 annual meeting of stockholders and at each annual
meeting of stockholders thereafter, all directors shall be elected for a term expiring at the next annual meeting of
stockholders and shall no longer be divided into three classes. Each director shall hold office until the annual
meeting of stockholders for the year in which such director’s term expires and a successor is duly elected and

resolution of a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director,
and may not be filled in any other manner. A director elected or appointed to fill a vacancy shall serve, (i) prior to
the date of the 2028 annual meeting of stockholders, for the unexpired term of the class of his or her predecessor in
office and (ii) from and after the 2028 annual meeting of stockholders, until the next succeeding annual meeting of
stockholders, and, in each case, until his or her successor is elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death,
resignation or removal. A director elected or appointed to fill a position resulting from an increase in the number of
directors shall hold office (i) prior to the date of the 2028 annual meeting of stockholders, until the next election of

successor is elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal. No decrease in the
authorized number of directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

directors may be removed with or without cause upon the affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of the

election of directors, voting together as a single class (“Voting Stock”) at a meeting of the Corporation’s
stockholders called for that purpose. Any director may resign at any time upon notice to the Corporation.
Section 7. Rights of Holders of Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding the provisions of this ARTICLE FIVE, whenever
the holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock shall have the right, voting separately or together by series, to
elect directors at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, the election, term of office, filling of vacancies and
other features of such directorship shall be subject to the rights of such series of Preferred Stock. During any period
when the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, voting separately as a series or together with one or more series,
have the right to elect additional directors, then upon commencement and for the duration of the period during which
such right continues: (i) the then otherwise total authorized number of directors of the Corporation shall
automatically be increased by such specified number of directors, and the holders of such Preferred Stock shall be
entitled to elect the additional directors so provided for or fixed pursuant to said provisions, and (ii) each such
additional director shall serve until such director’s successor shall have been duly elected and qualified, or until such
director’s right to hold such office terminates pursuant to said provisions, whichever occurs earlier, subject to his or
her earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal. Except as otherwise provided by the Board of Directors in
the resolution or resolutions establishing such series, whenever the holders of any series of Preferred Stock having
such right to elect additional directors are divested of such right pursuant to the provisions of such stock, the terms
of office of all such additional directors elected by the holders of such stock, or elected to fill any vacancies resulting
from the death, resignation, disqualification or removal of such additional directors, shall forthwith terminate (in
which case each such director thereupon shall cease to be qualified as, and shall cease to be, a director) and the total
authorized number of directors of the Corporation shall automatically be reduced accordingly.

to be brought by stockholders before any meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation shall be given in the
manner provided in the Bylaws.

specified in Section 1(a)(i) - (v) of the Nomination Agreement, the Chair of the Board of Directors may be
designated by a majority of the directors nominated or designated for nomination by the Ryan Parties.  “Ryan
Parties” means the unitholders (other than the Corporation) of the LLC, which are controlled by Patrick G. Ryan, the
Corporation’s founder and executive chairman and certain members of his family and various entities and trusts over

certain members of his family exercise control.

protection of a director or officer of the Corporation existing at the time of such amendment, repeal or modification
with respect to any act, omission or other matter occurring prior to such amendment, repeal or modification.

Section 1. Action by Consent. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the Corporation’s stockholders may
be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote if a consent or consents, setting forth the action
so taken, is signed by the holders of outstanding capital stock of the Corporation having not less than the minimum
number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares of the
Corporation’s capital stock entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.  Any action required or permitted to be
taken by the holders of Preferred Stock, voting separately as a series or separately as a class with one or more other
such series, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, to the extent expressly so
provided the resolutions creating such series of Preferred Stock.

then outstanding and to the requirements of applicable law, special meetings of stockholders of the Corporation may
be called only (i) by or at the direction of the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer of the
Corporation or the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by the affirmative vote of the majority of the
total number of directors that the Corporation would have if there were no vacancies, and (ii) upon written request to
the Corporate Secretary delivered to the Corporation’s executive offices, by stockholders having at least twenty
percent (20%) of the issued and outstanding shares of Voting Stock entitled to vote on the matter or matters to be
brought before the proposed special meeting, voting together as a single class (the “Requisite Percent”); provided
that in order to meet the Requisite Percent, as a condition to such right, such stockholders shall have held
continuously for one (1) year as of the date of the request an aggregate “net long position” (as defined in the
Bylaws) of such shares and continue to own the Requisite Percent in a net long position at all times between such
date and the date of the applicable meeting of stockholders; and provided, further, that such stockholders meeting
the Requisite Percent shall act in accordance with any conditions or limitations set forth in the Bylaws. Any
business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to the purpose or purposes stated in the
notice of the meeting.
ARTICLE EIGHT
Section 1. Certain Acknowledgments. In recognition and anticipation that (i) certain of the directors, partners,
principals, officers, members, managers, family members, trustees, beneficiaries and/or employees of the Ryan
Parties and Onex (as defined below) may serve as directors or officers of the Corporation and (ii) the Ryan Parties
and Onex engage and may continue to engage in the same or similar activities or related lines of business as those in
which the Corporation, directly or indirectly, may engage and/or other business activities that overlap with or
compete with those in which the Corporation, directly or indirectly, may engage, and (iii) that the Corporation and/
or its Affiliated Companies (as defined below) may engage in material business transactions with the Ryan Parties
and Onex, and that the Corporation is expected to benefit therefrom, the provisions of this ARTICLE EIGHT are set
forth to regulate and define to the fullest extent permitted by law the conduct of certain affairs of the Corporation as
they may involve the Ryan Parties, Onex and/or their respective directors, partners, principals, officers, members,
managers, family members, trustees, beneficiaries and/or employees, including any of the foregoing who serve as
officers or directors of the Corporation (collectively, the “Exempted Persons”), and the powers, rights, duties and
liabilities of the Corporation and its officers, directors and stockholders in connection therewith. “Onex” means
Onex Corporation and its Affiliated Companies. “Affiliated Companies” means (a) in respect of Onex, any entity
that now or in the future Controls, is Controlled by or is under common Control with Onex (other than the
Corporation and any entity that is Controlled by the Corporation) and any investment funds managed by the Onex
and (b) in respect of the Corporation, any entity that is now or in the future Controlled by the Corporation. “Control
is defined in ARTICLE NINE.
Section 2. Competition and Corporate Opportunities. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, none of the
Exempted Persons shall have any fiduciary duty to (i) refrain from engaging, directly or indirectly, in the same or
similar business activities or lines of business as the Corporation or any of its Affiliated Companies or (ii) otherwise
competing with the Corporation and/or its Affiliated Companies, and no Exempted Person shall be liable to the
Corporation or its stockholders for breach of any fiduciary duty solely by reason of any such activities of the Ryan
Parties, Onex and its Affiliated Companies, or such Exempted Person. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law, the Corporation, on behalf of itself and its Affiliated Companies, renounces any interest or expectancy of the
Corporation and its Affiliated Companies in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, business
opportunities that are from time to time presented to the Exempted Persons, even if the opportunity is one that the
Corporation or its Affiliated Companies might reasonably be deemed to have pursued or had the ability or desire to
pursue if granted the opportunity to do so, and each Exempted Person shall have no duty to communicate or offer
such business opportunity to the Corporation or its Affiliated Companies and, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, shall not be liable to the Corporation, any of its Affiliated Companies or its stockholders for breach
of any fiduciary or other duty, as a director, officer or stockholder of the Corporation solely, by reason of the fact
that the Ryan Parties or any such Exempted Person pursues or acquires such business opportunity, sells, assigns,
transfers or directs such business opportunity to another person or fails to present such business opportunity, or
information regarding such business opportunity, to the Corporation or any of its Affiliated Companies. For the
avoidance of doubt, each of the Exempted Persons shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, have the right to, and
shall have no duty (whether contractual or otherwise) not to, directly or indirectly: (A) engage in the same, similar or
competing business activities or lines of business as the Corporation or its Affiliated Companies, (B) do business
with any client or customer of the Corporation or its Affiliated Companies, or (C) make investments in competing
businesses of the Corporation or its Affiliated Companies, and such acts shall not be deemed wrongful or improper.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2, the Corporation does not renounce any interest or
expectancy it may have in any business opportunity that is expressly offered to any Exempted Person solely in his or
her capacity as a director or officer of the Corporation, and not in any other capacity.
Section 3. Certain Matters Deemed Not Corporate Opportunities. In addition to, and notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this ARTICLE EIGHT, a corporate opportunity shall not be deemed to belong to the Corporation if it
is a business opportunity the Corporation is not financially able or contractually permitted or legally able to
undertake, or that is, from its nature, not in the line of the Corporation’s business or is of no practical advantage to it
or that is one in which the Corporation has no interest or reasonable expectancy.
Section 4. Amendment of this Article. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock then
outstanding, and in addition to any vote required by applicable law or this Restated Certificate, the affirmative vote
of the holders of at least eighty percent (80%) of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of Voting Stock,
voting together as a single class, shall be required to alter, amend or repeal, or to adopt any provision inconsistent
with, this ARTICLE EIGHT; provided however, that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, neither the alteration,
amendment or repeal of this ARTICLE EIGHT nor the adoption of any provision of this Restated Certificate
inconsistent with this ARTICLE EIGHT shall apply to or have any effect on the liability or alleged liability of any
Exempted Person for or with respect to any activities or opportunities which such Exempted Person becomes aware
prior to such alteration, amendment, repeal or adoption.
Section 5. Deemed Notice. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in any
shares of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the provisions of this
ARTICLE EIGHT.
ARTICLE NINE
Section 1. Section 203 of the DGCL. The Corporation expressly elects not to be subject to the provisions of Section
203 of the DGCL.
Section 2. Business Combinations with Interested Stockholders. Notwithstanding any other provision in this
Restated Certificate to the contrary, the Corporation shall not engage in any Business Combination (as defined
hereinafter) at any point in time at which the Common Stock is registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), with any Interested Stockholder (as defined hereinafter)
for a period of three (3) years following the time that such stockholder became an Interested Stockholder, unless:
(a) prior to such time the Board of Directors approved either the Business Combination or the transaction which
resulted in such stockholder becoming an Interested Stockholder;
(b) upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in such stockholder becoming an Interested Stockholder,

Corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the Voting
Stock outstanding (but not the outstanding Voting Stock owned by such Interested Stockholder) those shares owned
(i) by Persons (as defined hereinafter) who are directors and also officers of the Corporation and (ii) employee stock
plans of the Corporation in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether
shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or
(c) at or subsequent to such time the Business Combination is approved by the Board of Directors and authorized at
an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least sixty-six
and two-thirds percent (6623%) of the outstanding Voting Stock which is not owned by such Interested Stockholder.
Section 3. Exceptions to Prohibition on Interested Stockholder Transactions. The restrictions contained in this
ARTICLE NINE shall not apply if:
(a) a stockholder becomes an Interested Stockholder inadvertently and (i) as soon as practicable divests itself of
ownership of sufficient shares so that the stockholder ceases to be an Interested Stockholder; and (ii) would not, at
any time within the three (3) year period immediately prior to a Business Combination between the Corporation and
such stockholder, have been an Interested Stockholder but for the inadvertent acquisition of ownership; or
(b) the Business Combination is proposed prior to the consummation or abandonment of and subsequent to the
earlier of the public announcement or the notice required hereunder of a proposed transaction which (i) constitutes
one of the transactions described in the second sentence of this Section 3(b) of ARTICLE NINE; (ii) is with or by a
Person who either was not an Interested Stockholder during the previous three (3) years or who became an Interested
Stockholder with the approval of the Board of Directors; and (iii) is approved or not opposed by a majority of the
directors then in office (but not less than one) who were directors prior to any Person becoming an Interested
Stockholder during the previous three (3) years or were recommended for election or elected to succeed such
directors by a majority of such directors. The proposed transactions referred to in the preceding sentence are limited

Stockholder, and the affiliates and associates of such Person. Notwithstanding anything in this ARTICLE NINE to
the contrary, the term “Interested Stockholder” shall not include: (x) the Ryan Parties or any of their affiliates and
associates now or hereafter in existence, or any other Person with whom any of the foregoing are acting as a group

deemed the owner of any Stock because of such Person’s right to vote such Stock if the agreement, arrangement or
understanding to vote such Stock arises solely from a revocable proxy or consent given in response to a proxy or
consent solicitation made to 10 or more Persons; or (C) has any agreement, arrangement or understanding for the
purpose of acquiring, holding, voting (except voting pursuant to a revocable proxy or consent as described in (B) of
