In one paragraph

Bowhead Specialty Holdings Inc. (BOW) agreed to be acquired by American Family Mutual Insurance Company, S.I. for $34.00 per share in cash. Unlike a tender offer, this deal needs a shareholder vote: the special meeting is scheduled for November 13, 2026. At closing, each share is converted into the right to receive the cash, paid through your broker.

What can a shareholder do?

1. Vote and wait

Vote your shares (by proxy, before the meeting). If the merger closes, the cash is paid to your broker account automatically; you do not need to tender anything.

2. Sell on the market

You get the market price now, usually a little below the cash price (the spread above), without waiting for closing.

3. Appraisal rights

Holders who do not vote in favour may be able to ask a court to value their shares. It is slow and costly; the proxy explains the steps.

General information, not advice. Taxes: a cash buyout is generally treated like a sale of your shares; check your own situation.
