FMG Acquisition Corp. (OTCBB: FMGQ; FMGQW; FMGQU) (“FMG” or the “Company”) announced today that it has commenced its previously announced conditional tender offer to purchase up to 3,320,762 shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $8.05 per share.

Tenders of shares must be made on or prior to the expiration of the tender offer and may be withdrawn at any time on or prior to the expiration of the tender offer. FMG intends to finance the tender offer from the cash proceeds it receives from the previously announced issuance of its 11% Notes and other available cash resources.

Date for Special Meeting of Shareholders Set for September 29, 2008

The Company also announced that stockholders of record as of September 5, 2008 (the “Record Date”) will be invited to attend FMG’s special meeting of stockholders to vote on, or submit a proxy to vote on, among other matters, a proposal to approve the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 2, 2008, and amended and restated on August 15, 2008, among FMG and United Insurance Holdings, LC (“United”).

The special meeting is scheduled to be held on September 29, 2008, but may be changed to another date upon the registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission being declared effective. The full meeting agenda will be detailed in the proxy statement, which is expected to be mailed to all stockholders of record on or about September 8, 2008.

Additional Information Concerning the Tender Offer

FMG will purchase all shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn in the tender offer. However, if more than the number of shares the Company seeks to purchase are properly tendered, FMG may purchase such shares on a pro rata basis, as specified in the Offer to Purchase relating to the tender offer that has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and distributed to stockholders. The tender offer is not subject to a minimum number of shares being tendered. However, FMG’s obligation to complete the tender offer is subject to certain conditions, including the consummation of its merger with United, as described in the Offer to Purchase.

The information agent for the tender offer is MacKenzie Partners, Inc. The Depositary for the tender offer is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. The Offer to Purchase, Letter of Transmittal and related documents are being mailed to stockholders of record and will be made available for distribution to beneficial owners of FMG’s common stock.

Ensuring Your Vote is Counted at the Shareholder Meeting

In advance of the Record Date, FMG advises holders of its common stock to move these securities into accounts which do not permit the lending of securities, so called cash accounts or segregated accounts, and out of accounts that permit the lending of securities, such as margin accounts.
