        <footnote id="F1">Acquired by the Reporting Person in connection with the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 23, 2014 (the &quot;Merger Agreement&quot;), by and among Platinum Underwriters Holdings, Ltd. (&quot;Platinum&quot;), RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd. (the &quot;RenaissanceRe&quot;) and Port Holdings Ltd.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">The number of RenaissanceRe common shares reported are subject to adjustment due to possible tax withholding and other factors. As it is not practicable to determine the exact number of RenaissanceRe common shares to be received by the Reporting Person as of the date of this Form 4, once the exact amount of shares is determined, the Reporting Person will file an amendment to this Form 4, if necessary.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, upon closing of the merger, 59,231 Platinum common shares held by the Reporting Person for which a valid election to receive the &quot;share election consideration&quot; was made were converted into the right to receive, for each Platinum common share, approximately $24.66 in cash and 0.4073 RenaissanceRe common shares, subject to reduction for tax withholding. No fractional RenaissanceRe common shares will be issued and in lieu of fractional shares, the Reporting Person will receive cash.</footnote>
