NOTICE AND PROXY STATEMENT
FOR AN EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON NOVEMBER 3, 2021
September   , 2021​
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF CHUBB LIMITED:
Notice is hereby given that a special meeting of shareholders of Chubb Limited, called an Extraordinary General Meeting, will be held at 3:00 p.m. Central European Time on November 3, 2021, at the offices of Chubb Limited, Bärengasse 32, CH-8001 Zurich, Switzerland, to vote upon the following matters:
1.
Ratification of the share repurchase program ending June 30, 2022
​
2.
Reduction of share capital
​
On July 19, 2021, Chubb’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program enabling Chubb to repurchase up to $5 billion of its Common Shares for cancellation purposes through June 30, 2022. By obtaining shareholder ratification of this share repurchase program and dedicating the repurchased shares for future cancellation, the repurchased shares will not be subject to a Swiss law limitation on treasury shares relative to total share capital. The Board is also requesting shareholders approve a share capital reduction by cancelling the 14,465,400 shares repurchased during the first six months of 2021 under a prior share repurchase authorization and effecting a related amendment to Chubb’s Articles of Association.
The Board of Directors recommends that you vote your shares “FOR” the above proposals. Chubb’s share repurchase program is an effective tool to deliver returns to shareholders and reflects our strong confidence in both our near- and longer-term earnings power and growth momentum. Approval of both proposals will ensure that we continue to maintain the flexibility to utilize repurchasing our Common Shares, at management’s discretion, as a means to efficiently manage capital and deliver significant value to our shareholders.
The Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on September 10, 2021 as the record date for determining Chubb shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting, except as provided in “Who is entitled to vote?” in the proxy statement.
Due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and in accordance with COVID-19 regulations issued by the Swiss government, in-person attendance at the Extraordinary General Meeting by shareholders is not permitted, and shareholders may only exercise their voting rights by providing proxy voting instructions in advance of the meeting. See “Information About the Extraordinary General Meeting and Voting” in the proxy statement for further information.
Your vote is important. Please vote as promptly as possible by following the instructions in the proxy statement or on your proxy card. If you later desire to revoke or change your proxy for any reason, you may do so in the manner described in the proxy statement. For further information concerning the agenda items being voted on, use of the proxy or related matters, you are urged to read the proxy statement.
By Order of the Board of Directors,
Joseph F. Wayland
Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary
Zurich, Switzerland

Why did you send me this proxy statement?
We sent you this proxy statement and the enclosed proxy card because our Board of Directors is soliciting your vote for an Extraordinary General Meeting of Chubb Limited (which we refer to as we, us, our, Chubb or the Company), which will be held at 3:00 p.m. Central European Time on Wednesday, November 3, 2021, at the offices of Chubb Limited, Bärengasse 32, CH-8001 Zurich, Switzerland. We will begin mailing these proxy materials on or about September 17, 2021, to all shareholders entitled to vote.
This proxy statement summarizes the information you need relating to the Extraordinary General Meeting, including how to vote your shares. You may simply complete, sign and return the enclosed proxy card if you are a registered holder or the enclosed voting instruction card if you are a beneficial holder of shares in “street name,” as described below.
Due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and in accordance with COVID-19 regulations issued by the Swiss government, in-person attendance at the Extraordinary General Meeting by shareholders is not permitted, and therefore we urge you to vote in advance of the Extraordinary General Meeting (see “Can I vote in person at the Extraordinary General Meeting?”).
How do I access proxy materials on the Internet?

Ratification of the share repurchase program ending June 30, 2022 (see page 7)
​
2.
Reduction of share capital (see page 8)
​
Our Board recommends that you vote your shares “FOR” each of Agenda Items 1 and 2.
Who is entitled to vote?
September 10, 2021 is the record date for the Extraordinary General Meeting. On that date, we had             Common Shares outstanding. Our Common Shares, par value of CHF 24.15 per share, are our only class of voting stock.
Beneficial owners of shares held in “street name” and shareholders of record with voting rights at the close of business on September 10, 2021 are entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting, except as provided below.
1

TABLE OF CONTENTS
•
If you are a beneficial holder of shares held in “street name” and ask to become a shareholder of record for those shares after September 10, 2021 but on or before October 21, 2021 and want to vote those shares at the Extraordinary General Meeting (by way of the independent proxy), you will need to obtain proxy materials by contacting Investor Relations by telephone at +1 (212) 827-4445 or via e-mail at investorrelations@chubb.com.
​
•
If you are a record holder of our shares (as opposed to a beneficial holder of shares held in “street name”) on September 10, 2021 but sell your shares prior to October 21, 2021, you will not be entitled to vote those shares at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
​
How many votes do I have?
Generally, you have one vote for each of our Common Shares that you own. However, if you own Controlled Shares (as defined in our Articles of Association) that constitute 10% or more of the issued Common Shares, then your voting rights with respect to those Controlled Shares will be limited, in the aggregate, to a voting power of approximately 10% pursuant to a formula specified in Article 14 of our Articles of Association. Our Articles of Association define Controlled Shares generally to include all shares of the Company directly, indirectly or constructively owned or beneficially owned by any person or group of persons.
What is the difference between holding shares as a shareholder of record and as a beneficial owner?
Most of our shareholders hold their shares through a broker, bank or other nominee rather than directly in their own name. As summarized below, there are some differences between shares held of record and those owned beneficially.
Shareholder of Record​
If your shares are registered directly in your name, as registered shares entitled to voting rights, in our share register operated by our transfer agent, Computershare Inc., then you are considered the shareholder of record for those shares. The proxy materials are sent to you directly by us. You have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to the independent proxy (see “How do I vote by proxy given to the independent proxy if I am a record holder?” below). If you are a shareholder of record, you may vote electronically through the Internet by following the instructions provided on the proxy card.
Beneficial Owner​
If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name.” Your broker, bank or other nominee forwards the proxy materials to you since they are considered the shareholder of record for your shares. You have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote your shares.
Your broker, bank or other nominee has enclosed directions for you to use in directing your broker, bank or other nominee how to vote your shares, which may contain instructions for voting by telephone or electronically through the Internet.
May I vote via the Internet, mail or telephone?
You may vote over the Internet or by completing a proxy card and mailing it in the return envelope provided. We encourage you to vote over the Internet because we can tabulate your vote faster than by mail.
There are separate Internet arrangements depending on whether you are a shareholder of record or a beneficial owner (holding your shares in “street name”).
•
If you are a shareholder of record, you may vote electronically through the Internet by following the instructions provided on the proxy card included with the proxy materials mailed to you. Telephone voting for record holders is not permitted.
​
•
If you are a beneficial owner and hold your shares in “street name,” you may need to contact your bank or broker to determine whether you will be able to vote by telephone or electronically through the Internet.
​
The Internet voting procedures are designed to authenticate shareholders’ identities, to allow shareholders to give their voting instructions and to confirm that shareholders’ instructions have been recorded properly.
How do I vote by proxy given to an independent proxy if I am a record holder?
If you are a record holder, then you may appoint the independent proxy by voting over the Internet or by completing the proxy card and mailing it in the return envelope provided. At our 2021 annual general meeting, on May 20, 2021, Homburger AG, a Swiss law firm, was elected by our shareholders as our independent proxy until the conclusion of the 2022 annual general meeting.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
If you vote over the Internet or properly fill in your proxy card appointing the independent proxy as your proxy and send it in time to vote, the independent proxy will vote your shares as you have directed. If you do not make specific choices on the Internet voting website or your signed proxy card, then the independent proxy will vote your shares as recommended by the Board of Directors.
If new agenda items (other than those in the notice of meeting) or new proposals or motions with respect to the agenda items set forth in the notice of meeting are put before the Extraordinary General Meeting, then by signing the proxy card (including electronically through the Internet), you direct the independent proxy, acting as your proxy and in the absence of instructions otherwise, to vote in accordance with the recommendation of the Board of Directors. The independent proxy will not make statements, submit proposals or ask questions of the Board of Directors on behalf of shareholders.
As of September   , 2021, we knew of no matters that needed to be acted on at the Extraordinary General Meeting other than those discussed in this proxy statement.
In order to assure that your votes, as a record holder, are tabulated in time to be voted at the Extraordinary General Meeting, you must complete your voting over the Internet or submit your proxy card so that it is received by 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time (5:00 p.m. Central European Time) on November 2, 2021.
How do I give voting instructions if I am a beneficial holder?
If you are a beneficial owner of shares, your broker will ask you how you want your shares to be voted. If you give the broker instructions, the broker will vote your shares as you direct. If your broker does not receive instructions from you about how your shares are to be voted, one of two things can happen, depending on the type of proposal. Pursuant to the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), brokers have discretionary power to vote your shares with respect to “routine” matters but not on “non-routine” matters. We believe that each of Agenda Items 1 and 2 will be considered routine under NYSE rules and therefore that brokers will have discretionary power to vote your shares on both of these Agenda Items. However, it is important that you provide instructions to your broker so that your shares are voted with respect to these Agenda Items if the NYSE were to treat them as non-routine. See “How are votes counted?” for more information.
In order to assure that your votes, as a beneficial holder, are tabulated in time to be voted at the Extraordinary General Meeting, you must submit your voting instructions so that your broker will be able to vote by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on November 1, 2021.
May I revoke or change my proxy?
Yes. If you change your mind after you vote, you may revoke or change your proxy by following the procedures described below.
•
For record holders wishing to change their proxy, vote again by following the instructions for Internet voting on your proxy card, or send in a signed proxy card with a later date. The latest received proxy will be counted. Record holders may request a new proxy card from our transfer agent, Computershare Inc., by phone at +1 (877) 522-3752 (within the U.S.) or +1 (201) 680-6898 (outside the U.S.);
​
•
For record holders wishing to revoke their proxy, send a letter revoking your proxy directly to the independent proxy, Homburger AG, Attention: Dr. Claude Lambert, Prime Tower, Hardstrasse 201, CH-8005 Zurich, Switzerland; or
​
•
For beneficial owners, follow the voting instructions provided by your broker, bank or other nominee to change your proxy and the latest received vote will be counted; to revoke your proxy, contact your broker, bank or other nominee.
​
If you wish to revoke or change your proxy, you must do so in sufficient time to permit the necessary examination and tabulation of the subsequent proxy or revocation before the vote is taken.
Can I vote in person at the Extraordinary General Meeting?
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and in accordance with COVID-19 regulations issued by the Swiss government, shareholders will not be permitted to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting in person. Therefore, you will not be able to vote in person at the Extraordinary General Meeting. While participants necessary to conduct the Extraordinary General Meeting in compliance with Swiss law will be present at the meeting location, shareholders may only exercise their voting rights by providing proxy voting instructions in advance of the meeting. The independent proxy will vote in accordance with the instructions at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
These measures are being taken pursuant to Swiss law and in the interest of the health and well-being of our shareholders, employees, participants at the Extraordinary General Meeting and the general public, and due to uncertainties related to restrictions on travel and public gatherings.
How many shares need to be present to hold the Extraordinary General Meeting?
There is no quorum requirement under Swiss law.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Are Chubb shares subject to share blocking or re-registration?
No. Neither share blocking nor re-registration is required in order to vote Common Shares at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
The Company does not impose trading restrictions as a condition of voting its Common Shares, does not require that its Common Shares be deposited with a custodian or sub-custodian in order to be voted and does not instruct any custodians or sub-custodians that may receive deposits of Common Shares for voting to block those shares.
Common Shares that are beneficially held do not need to be re-registered into the name of the beneficial owners in order to vote.
Shareholders holding our Common Shares directly (i.e. not as beneficial holder via street name) and who are not yet registered as shareholders with voting rights in our share register operated by our transfer agent, Computershare Inc., must be properly registered in our share register in order to vote their shares directly. If you are a record holder and you received the proxy materials in the mail, then your shares are properly registered to vote, unless you sell your shares prior to October 21, 2021.
What vote is required to approve each agenda item?
The proposals relating to the Company’s share repurchase program (Agenda Item 1) and the reduction in share capital (Agenda Item 2) each require the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Extraordinary General Meeting, not counting abstentions, broker non-votes or blank or invalid ballots.
How are votes counted?
Your vote may be cast “FOR” or “AGAINST”, or you may instead “ABSTAIN.” Here is how to make sure your votes are counted:
•
If you are a record holder and sign your proxy card (including by electronic signature in the case of Internet voting) with no further instructions, then you direct the independent proxy to vote your shares in accordance with the recommendation of the Board on Agenda Items 1 and 2.
​
•
If you sign your broker voting instruction card with no further instructions, we believe your shares may be voted in your broker’s discretion on Agenda Items 1 and 2.
​
How will our directors and executive officers vote?
At the close of business on September 10, 2021, our directors and executive officers disclosed in the “How Many Shares Do Our Directors and Executive Officers Own?” table in this proxy statement owned and were entitled to vote an aggregate of        Common Shares, which represented approximately    % of our outstanding Common Shares. Each of our directors and executive officers have indicated their present intention to vote, or cause to be voted, their shares in favor of each of Agenda Items 1 and 2 at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
What is the effect of broker non-votes and abstentions?
A broker non-vote occurs when a broker holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular agenda item because the broker does not have discretionary voting power for that particular item and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not have any impact on the agenda items being voted upon at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
What are the costs of soliciting these proxies and who will pay them?
The Company will pay all the costs of soliciting these proxies. Although we are mailing these proxy materials, our directors and employees may also solicit proxies by telephone, by fax or other electronic means of communication, or in person. We will reimburse brokers, banks and nominees and other fiduciaries for the expenses they incur in forwarding the proxy materials to you. Alliance Advisors, LLC is assisting us with the solicitation of proxies for a fee of $15,000 plus out-of-pocket expenses and fees for telephone and e-mail solicitation, if used.
Where can I find the voting results?
We will publish the voting results in a Form 8-K that we will file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) by November 9, 2021. You will be able to find the Form 8-K on our website at investors.chubb.com/investor-relations/financials/sec-filings.
How can a shareholder, employee or other interested party communicate directly with the Board?
Our Board provides a process for shareholders, employees and other interested parties to send communications to the Board. If you want to contact the Board concerning accounting or auditing matters, then you may send an e-mail to the Chair of the Audit Committee at Chmnaudit@chubb.com.

Organizational Matters Required by Swiss Law
Important Notice Regarding Admission to the Extraordinary General Meeting
As described in “Can I vote in person at the Extraordinary General Meeting?” above, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Swiss government has authorized Swiss companies to direct that shareholders may only exercise their rights by proxy and not in person. While participants necessary to conduct the Extraordinary General Meeting in compliance with Swiss law will be present at the meeting location, in-person attendance by shareholders is not permitted. Shareholders may only exercise their rights by providing voting instructions in advance of the Extraordinary General Meeting. The independent proxy will vote in accordance with the instructions at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
Shareholders who are registered in the share register on September 10, 2021 will receive this proxy statement and a proxy card from our share registrar. Beneficial owners of shares will receive proxy materials, including a voting instruction form, from their broker, bank, nominee or custodian acting as shareholder of record to indicate how they wish their shares to be voted.
Each share carries one vote. The exercise of the voting right is subject to the voting restrictions set out in our Articles of Association, a summary of which is described in “How many votes do I have?” above.
Beneficial owners of shares held in “street name” and shareholders of record with voting rights at the close of business on September 10, 2021 are entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting, except that shareholders who, upon application, become registered as shareholders with respect to their shares in our share register after September 10, 2021 but on or before October 21, 2021 and wish to vote those shares at the Extraordinary General Meeting (by way of the independent proxy) will need to obtain proxy materials by contacting Investor Relations by telephone at +1 (212) 827-4445 or via e-mail at investorrelations@chubb.com. Shareholders registered in our share register (as opposed to beneficial holders of shares held in “street name”) who have sold their shares prior to October 21, 2021 are not entitled to vote those shares at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
Granting of Proxy to the Independent Proxy
If you are a shareholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to the independent proxy, Homburger AG, Prime Tower, Hardstrasse 201, CH-8005 Zurich, Switzerland, in the sense of Article 689c of the Swiss Code of Obligations by completing, signing and submitting the corresponding proxy card (including electronically).

By signing the proxy card (including electronically) and if no other instructions are given, the shareholder instructs the independent proxy to vote in accordance with the position of the Board of Directors as to each agenda item. If a new agenda item or a new proposal for an existing agenda item is put before the Extraordinary General Meeting and no other instructions are given, the shareholder instructs the independent proxy to vote in accordance with the position of the Board of Directors.

TABLE OF CONTENTS​
Agenda Item 1: Ratification of the Share Repurchase Program Ending June 30, 2022
Agenda Item
Our Board of Directors proposes that shareholders ratify the Company’s share repurchase program, which authorizes the Company, at its discretion, to repurchase Common Shares for cancellation purposes in an aggregate value of up to
$5 billion through June 30, 2022. The shares repurchased under this authority are dedicated for cancellation and will not be subject to the 10% limitation on treasury shares relative to total share capital under Swiss law.
Explanation
On July 19, 2021, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program enabling the Company to repurchase, at its discretion, up to $5 billion of Common Shares through June 30, 2022 (the Share Repurchase Program). We have begun repurchasing shares under the Share Repurchase Program in accordance with our Board’s authorization. Based on the closing price of our Common Shares of $183.02 on the NYSE on September 1, 2021, this repurchase authority represents approximately 5.8% of our total share capital issued at the time of the Extraordinary General Meeting.
Article 659 of the Swiss Code of Obligations requires that the number of treasury shares a company carries cannot exceed 10% of total issued share capital. By obtaining shareholder ratification of the Share Repurchase Program and dedicating repurchased shares to future cancellation, shares acquired will be exempt from the 10% limitation for treasury shares and will not be subject to Swiss statutory restrictions prior to the cancellation of such shares following a subsequent shareholder vote. All shares acquired under the Share Repurchase Program are intended to be cancelled, and upon repurchase will be earmarked for cancellation. We intend to cancel all shares repurchased under the Share Repurchase Program through December 31, 2021 at our 2022 annual general meeting, and all shares repurchased from January 1, 2022 through June 30, 2022 at our 2023 annual general meeting.
Our Board believes it is in the best interest of the Company and shareholders that shareholders ratify the Share Repurchase Program. The power to authorize the Company’s ability to repurchase shares is derived from the Board. Obtaining shareholder approval of the Share Repurchase Program and the related dedication of shares to future cancellation will have the benefit of exempting repurchases from the Swiss law 10% treasury share limit and will therefore provide us with sustained flexibility to repurchase our Common Shares and deliver significant value and returns to our shareholders through share repurchases.
Our core capital management philosophy is to maintain capital flexibility for risk and growth and return to shareholders capital in excess of that. The Share Repurchase Program is an effective tool to deliver returns to shareholders and reflects our strong confidence in both our near- and longer-term earnings power and growth momentum. The level of our Share Repurchase Program also enables us to maintain a sufficient level of capital to support our ability to pursue growth opportunities that may arise consistent with our long-term strategy.
The timing and volume of any share repurchases under the Share Repurchase Program will remain subject to determinations by management in its discretion in accordance with the Board’s authorization.
What Happens if Shareholders Do Not Approve this Proposal?
If the shareholders do not approve this proposal, the Board will consider the reasons that the shareholders did not approve the proposal, if known, and will seek shareholder reconsideration of the proposal or a revised proposal at another general meeting of shareholders. If shareholders do not approve this proposal, we may still continue repurchases within the limits of Swiss law, but the full implementation of the Share Repurchase Program would be adversely impacted because we would be restricted in our capital management flexibility and in our ability to return capital to shareholders through share repurchases at times and volumes management determines to be appropriate.
Voting Requirement to Approve Agenda Item
The affirmative “FOR” vote of the majority of the votes cast at the Extraordinary General Meeting, not counting abstentions, broker non-votes or blank or invalid ballots, is required to approve this agenda item.
Recommendation of the Board
Our Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” the ratification of our Share Repurchase Program.

the share capital be reduced by CHF 349,339,410 from CHF 11,447,609,903.10 to CHF 11,098,270,493.10 by cancelling 14,465,400 registered shares with a nominal value of CHF 24.15 each, all of which are held in treasury;
​
ii.
it be acknowledged that according to the special audit report prepared by PricewaterhouseCoopers AG (Zurich), the claims of creditors will be covered despite the capital reduction; and
​
iii.
Article 3(a) of the Articles of Association be amended as set forth below under “Explanation.”
​
Explanation
As further described in Agenda Item 1, Swiss law imposes certain requirements on the use of repurchased shares and the number of treasury shares a company can carry relative to total share capital.
To ensure we maintain capital management flexibility and enable us to continue to return capital to shareholders through share repurchases, our Board of Directors believes it is advisable and in the best interests of the Company to cancel the 14,465,400 Common Shares that were repurchased under our prior $2.5 billion Board-authorized share repurchase program from January 1, 2021 through June 30, 2021, and accordingly effect the reduction of the share capital of Chubb Limited by approval of an amendment to Article 3(a) of our Articles of Association.
PricewaterhouseCoopers AG (Zurich), the Company’s statutory auditor, will deliver a report to the Extraordinary General Meeting confirming that the claims of creditors are fully covered despite the capital decrease as per article 732, paragraph 2 of the Swiss Code of Obligations. The auditor’s report will be available at least 20 days prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting at investors.chubb.com/investor-relations/shareholder-resources/shareholder-meeting-materials. Upon request, shareholders may also receive a copy of the report free of charge by contacting Chubb Limited Investor Relations by telephone at +1 (212) 827-4445 or via e-mail at investorrelations@chubb.com. Copies may also be physically inspected at the offices of Chubb Limited, Bärengasse 32, CH-8001 Zurich, Switzerland.
The capital reduction by cancellation of shares can only be accomplished after publication of three notices to creditors and a subsequent two-month waiting period in accordance with Swiss law. Such notices to creditors will be published after the Extraordinary General Meeting in the Swiss Official Gazette of Commerce. The capital reduction will then be registered and become effective.
As a Swiss company, Chubb Limited is required to submit both the English and the (authoritative) German versions of the proposed amendment to its Articles of Association, pursuant to which Article 3(a) of the Articles of Association would read as follows:

​ | Artikel 3 Aktienkapital | ​ | ​ | Article 3 Share Capital | ​
​ | a) Das Aktienkapital der Gesellschaft beträgt CHF 11’098’270’493.10 und ist eingeteilt in 459’555’714 auf den Namen lautende Aktien im Nennwert von CHF 24.15 je Aktie. Das Aktienkapital ist vollständig liberiert. ​ | ​ | ​ | a) The share capital of the Company amounts to CHF 11,098,270,493.10 and is divided into 459,555,714 registered shares with a nominal value of CHF 24.15 per share. The share capital is fully paid-in. ​ | ​
​ | [b) bleibt unverändert.] ​ | ​ | ​ | [b) remains unchanged.] ​ | ​

What Happens if Shareholders Do Not Approve this Proposal?
If the shareholders do not approve this proposal, the Board will consider the reasons that the shareholders did not approve the proposal, if known, and will seek shareholder reconsideration of the proposal or a revised proposal at another general meeting of shareholders. If shareholders do not approve this proposal, we may be restricted in our capital management flexibility and in our ability to return capital to shareholders through our share repurchases.
