financial results. </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have a large overall exposure to natural and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">man-made</FONT> disasters,
such as earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis, winter storms, freezes, floods, fires, tornadoes, hailstorms, drought, cyber-risks and acts of terrorism. As a result, our operating results have historically been, and we expect will continue to be,
significantly affected by low frequency and high severity loss events. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Claims from catastrophic events could cause substantial volatility
in our quarterly and annual financial results and could materially adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. We believe that certain factors, including increases in the value and geographic concentration of
insured property, particularly along coastal regions, the increasing risks associated with extreme weather events as a result of changes in climate conditions, and the effects of inflation, may continue to increase the number and severity of claims
from catastrophic events in the future. Accordingly, unanticipated events could result in net negative impacts as compared to our competitors. Historically, a relatively large percentage of our coverage exposures have been concentrated in the U.S.
southeast, but due to the expected increase in severe weather events, there is the potential for significant exposures in other geographic areas in the future. Risks of volatility in our quarterly and annual financial statements are exacerbated by
the fact that the premiums in both our Property and Casualty and Specialty segments are prone to significant volatility due to factors including the timing of contract inception and our differentiated strategy and capability which position us to
pursue bespoke or large solutions for clients, which may be <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-recurring.</FONT> </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Our claims and claim expense
reserves are subject to inherent uncertainties. </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our claims and claim expense reserves reflect our estimates, using actuarial and

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We use actuarial and computer models, historical reinsurance and insurance industry loss statistics, and management&#146;s experience and
judgment to assist in the establishment of appropriate claims and claim expense reserves. Our estimates and judgments are based on numerous factors, and may be revised as additional experience and other data become available and are reviewed, as new
or improved methodologies are developed, as loss trends and claims inflation impact future payments, or as current laws or interpretations thereof change. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Due to the many assumptions and estimates involved in establishing reserves and the inherent uncertainty of modeling techniques, the reserving
process is inherently uncertain. It is expected that some of our assumptions or estimates will prove to be inaccurate, and that our actual net claims and claim expenses paid and reported will differ, perhaps materially, from the reserve estimates
reflected in our financial statements. For example, our significant current gross and net reserves associated with the 2017 large catastrophe events, namely Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria, the Mexico City Earthquake and the wildfires in
California during the fourth quarter of 2017, all remain subject to significant uncertainty. As these and other events mature, losses are paid and information emerges, we expect our reserves may change, perhaps materially. </P>

operations and financial condition may be adversely impacted, perhaps significantly. Conversely, we may prove to be too conservative and contribute to factors which would impede our ability to grow in respect of new markets or perils or in
connection with our current portfolio of coverages. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>A decline in our financial strength ratings may adversely impact our business, perhaps
materially so. </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Financial strength ratings are used by ceding companies and reinsurance intermediaries to assess the financial
strength and quality of reinsurers and insurers. Rating agencies evaluate us periodically and may downgrade or withdraw their financial strength ratings in the future if we do not continue to meet the criteria of the ratings previously assigned to
us. In addition, rating agencies may make changes in their capital models and rating methodologies which could increase the amount of capital required to support the ratings. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A ratings downgrade or other negative ratings action could adversely affect our ability to compete with other reinsurers and insurers, as well
as the marketability of our product offerings, our access to and cost of borrowing and our ability to write new business, which could materially adversely affect our results of operations. For example, following a ratings downgrade we might lose
customers to more highly rated competitors or retain a lower share of the business of our customers. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, many reinsurance
contracts contain provisions permitting cedants to, among other things, cancel coverage pro rata or require the reinsurer to post collateral for all or a portion of its obligations if the reinsurer is downgraded below a certain rating level. It is
increasingly common for our reinsurance agreements to contain such terms. Whether a cedant would exercise any of these rights could depend on various factors, such as the reason for and extent of such downgrade, the prevailing market conditions and
the pricing and availability of replacement reinsurance coverage. We cannot predict to what extent these contractual rights would be exercised, if at all, or what effect this would have on our financial condition or future operations, but the effect
could be material. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>The trend towards increasingly frequent and severe climate events could result in underestimated exposures that have the
potential to adversely impact our financial results. </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our most severe estimated economic exposures arise from our coverages for
natural disasters and catastrophes. The trend towards increased severity and frequency of weather related natural disasters and catastrophes which we believe arises in part from changes in climate conditions, coupled with currently projected
demographic trends in catastrophe-exposed regions, contributes to factors which we believe increase the average economic value of expected losses, increase the number of people exposed per year to natural disasters and in general exacerbate disaster
risk, including risks to infrastructure, global supply chains and agricultural production. Accordingly, we expect an increase in claims, especially from properties located in these catastrophe-exposed regions. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A substantial portion of our coverages may be adversely impacted by climate change, and we cannot assure you that our risk assessments
accurately reflect environmental and climate related risks. We cannot predict with certainty the frequency or severity of tropical cyclones, wildfires or other catastrophes. Unanticipated environmental incidents could lead to additional insured
losses that exceed our current estimates, resulting in disruptions to or adverse impacts on our business, the market, or our clients. Further, certain investments, such as catastrophe-linked securities and property catastrophe managed joint ventures
or other assets in our investment portfolio, could also be adversely impacted by climate change. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Retrocessional reinsurance may become unavailable

conditions have limited or prevented insurers and reinsurers from obtaining retrocessional reinsurance. Accordingly, we may not be able to renew our current retrocessional reinsurance
arrangements or obtain desired amounts of new or replacement coverage. In addition, even if we are able to obtain such retrocessional reinsurance, we may not be able to negotiate terms that we consider appropriate or acceptable from entities with
satisfactory creditworthiness or collect on claimed retrocessional coverage. This could limit the amount of business we are willing to write, or decrease the protection available to us as a result of large loss events. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">When we purchase reinsurance or retrocessional reinsurance for our own account, the insolvency of any of our reinsurers, or inability or
reluctance of any of our reinsurers to make timely payments to us under the terms of our reinsurance agreements could have a material adverse effect on us. Generally, we believe that the &#147;willingness to pay&#148; of some reinsurers and
retrocessionaires is declining, so this risk may be more significant to us at present than at many times in the past. Complex coverage issues or coverage disputes may impede our ability to collect amounts we believe we are owed. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A large portion of our reinsurance protection is concentrated with a relatively small number of reinsurers. The risk of such concentration of
retrocessional coverage may be increased by recent and future consolidation within the industry. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Recently enacted U.S. tax reform legislation, as
well as possible future tax reform legislation and regulations, could reduce our access to capital, decrease demand for our products and services, impact our shareholders or investors in our joint ventures or other entities we manage or otherwise
adversely affect us. </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">U.S. tax reform legislation, commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the &#147;Tax Bill&#148;),
was signed into law on December&nbsp;22, 2017. The Tax Bill amends a range of U.S. federal tax rules applicable to individuals, businesses and international taxation, including, among other things, by altering the current taxation of insurance
premiums ceded from a United States domestic corporation to any <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> affiliate. For example, the Tax Bill includes a new base erosion anti-avoidance tax (the &#147;BEAT&#148;) that would have substantially
altered the taxation of affiliate reinsurance between our operating affiliates which are subject to U.S. taxation and our <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> affiliates which are not. We believe those transactions would have become
economically unfeasible under the BEAT and terminated them as of the 2017 year end. While these transactions were not significant for us, on an industry-wide basis for specific market participants the impacts could be more material, and it is
possible that over time the BEAT may result in increased prices for certain reinsurance or insurance products, which could cause a decrease in demand for these products and services due to limitations on the available resources of our clients or
their underlying insureds. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Tax Bill increased the likelihood that we or our <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT>
subsidiaries or joint ventures managed by us will be deemed a &#147;controlled foreign corporation&#148; (&#147;CFC&#148;) within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code for U.S. federal tax purposes. Specifically, the Tax Bill expands the
definition of &#147;U.S. shareholder&#148; for CFC purposes to include U.S. persons who own 10% or more of the value of a foreign corporation&#146;s shares, rather than only looking to voting power held. As a result, the &#147;voting <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">cut-back&#148;</FONT> provisions included in our Amended and Restated <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Bye-laws</FONT> that limit the voting power of any shareholder to 9.9% of the total voting power of our capital stock
will be ineffective in avoiding &#147;U.S. shareholder&#148; status for U.S. persons who own 10% or more of the value of our shares. The Tax Bill also expands certain attribution rules for stock ownership in a way that would cause foreign
subsidiaries in a foreign parented group that includes at least one U.S. subsidiary to be treated as CFCs. In the event a corporation is characterized as a CFC, any &#147;U.S. shareholder&#148; of the CFC is required to include its pro rata share of
certain insurance and related investment income in income for a taxable year, even if such income is not distributed. In addition, U.S. tax exempt entities subject to the unrelated business taxable income (&#147;UBTI&#148;) rules that own 10% or
more of the value of our <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> subsidiaries or joint ventures managed by us that are characterized as CFCs may recognize UBTI with respect to such investment. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition to changes in the CFC rules, the Tax Bill contains modifications to certain provisions relating to passive foreign investment

investing in our joint ventures or other entities we manage. The Tax Bill makes it more difficult for a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> insurance company to avoid PFIC status
under an exception for certain <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> insurance companies engaged in the active conduct of an insurance business. The Tax Bill limits this exception to a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT>
insurance company that would be taxable as an insurance company if it were a U.S. corporation and that maintains insurance liabilities of more than 25% of such company&#146;s assets for a taxable year (or maintains reserves that at least equal 10%
of its assets and it satisfies a facts and circumstances test that requires a showing that the failure to exceed the 25% threshold is due to <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">run-off</FONT> or rating agency circumstances). While we believe that we
should satisfy this reserve test for the foreseeable future, we cannot assure you that this will continue to be the case in future years, and there is a significant risk that joint venture entities managed by us may not satisfy the reserve test.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The IRS has been considering other changes to the PFIC rules for several years. In 2015, the IRS issued proposed regulations intended to
clarify the application of this insurance company exception to the classification of a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> insurer as a PFIC. These proposed regulations provide that a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT>
insurer will qualify for the insurance company exception only if, among other things, the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> insurer&#146;s officers and employees perform its substantial managerial and operational activities. This
proposed regulation will not be effective until adopted in final form. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are unable to predict all of the ultimate impacts of the Tax
Bill and other proposed tax reform regulations and legislation on our business and results of operations. It is possible the IRS will construe the intent of the Tax Bill as having been to reduce or eliminate certain perceived tax advantages of
companies (including insurance companies) that have legal domiciles outside the U.S., and its interpretation, enforcement actions or regulatory changes could increase the impact of the Tax Bill beyond prevailing current assessments or our own
estimates. Further, it is possible that other legislation could be introduced and enacted in the future that would have an adverse impact on us. These events and trends towards more punitive taxation of cross border transactions could in the future
materially adversely impact the insurance and reinsurance industry and our own results of operations by increasing taxation of certain activities and structures in our industry. Accordingly, we cannot reliably estimate what the potential impact of
any such changes could be to us or our <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> subsidiaries or joint ventures managed by us and our and their respective sources of capital, investors or the market generally, however, it is possible these
changes could materially adversely impact our results of operations. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Emerging claim and coverage issues, or other litigation, could adversely

beyond our underwriting intent, or to increases in the number or size of claims to which we are subject. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, we believe our
property results have been adversely impacted over recent periods by increasing primary claims level fraud and abuses, as well as other forms of social inflation, and that these trends may continue, particularly in certain U.S. jurisdictions in
which we focus, including Florida and Texas. For example, in Florida, homeowners are increasingly assigning the benefit of their insurance recovery to third parties, typically related to a water loss claim but also with respect to other
claims.&nbsp;This practice is referred to as an &#147;assignment of benefits,&#148; and is characterized by an inflated size and number of claims, increased incidence of litigation, interference in the adjustment of claims, and the assertion of bad
faith actions and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">one-way</FONT> attorney fees. Assignments of benefits and related insurance fraud may directly affect us, potentially materially, through any policy we write in Florida, as well as by inflating the
size of occurrences we cover under our reinsurance treaties and reducing the value of certain investments we have in Florida, including both debt and equity investments in domestic reinsurers. Additionally, significant uncertainty may arise from the
attribution of potentially insured losses proximately or indirectly related to the 2017 California wildfires. </P>

changes and their impact may not become apparent until some time after their occurrence. For example, we could be deemed liable for losses arising out of a matter, such as the potential for industry losses arising out of a pandemic illness, that we
had not anticipated or had attempted to contractually exclude. Moreover, irrespective of the clarity and inclusiveness of policy language, we cannot assure you that a court or arbitration panel will enforce policy language or not issue a ruling
adverse to us. Our exposure to these uncertainties could be exacerbated by the increased willingness of some market participants to dispute insurance and reinsurance contract and policy wording. Alternatively, potential efforts by us to exclude such
exposures could, if successful, reduce the market&#146;s acceptance of our related products. The full effects of these and other unforeseen emerging claim and coverage issues are extremely hard to predict. As a result, the full extent of our
liability under our coverages may not be known for many years after a contract is issued. Furthermore, we expect that our exposure to this uncertainty may grow as our &#147;long-tail&#148; casualty businesses grow, because in these lines claims can
typically be made for many years, making them more susceptible to these trends than our traditional catastrophe business, which is typically more &#147;short-tail.&#148; While we continually seek to improve the effectiveness of our contracts and

coverage is readily available. In a hard reinsurance underwriting market, premium rates are increasing and less coverage may be available. Leading global intermediaries and other sources have generally reported that the U.S. reinsurance market
reflected a soft underwriting market during the last several years, with growing levels of industry wide capital held. This capital has been supplied principally by traditional market participants and increasingly by alternative capital providers.
We believe that the current reinsurance underwriting market is in a prolonged soft market phase, but that it will continue to be cyclical, with hard markets caused by withdrawal or use of excess capital, large or frequent loss events and other
factors. However, it is possible that increased access of primary insurers to capital, new technologies and other factors may eliminate or significantly lessen the possibility of any future hard reinsurance underwriting market. </P>

reinsurance brokers. As our business is heavily reliant on the use of a few brokers, the loss of a broker, through a merger, other business combination or otherwise, could result in the loss of a substantial portion of our business, which would have
a material adverse effect on us. Our ability to market our products could decline as a result of the loss of the business provided by any of these brokers and it is possible that our premiums written would decrease. Further, due to the concentration
of our brokers, our brokers may have increasing power to dictate the terms and conditions of our arrangements with them, which could have a negative impact on our business. </P>

in turn, pay these amounts over to the insurers that have reinsured a portion of their liabilities with us (we refer to these insurers as ceding insurers). Likewise, premiums due to us by ceding insurers are virtually all paid to brokers, who then
pass such amounts on to us. In many jurisdictions, we have contractually agreed that if a broker were to fail to make a payment to a ceding insurer, we would remain liable to the ceding insurer for the deficiency. Conversely, in many jurisdictions,
when the ceding insurer pays premiums for these policies to reinsurance brokers for payment over to us, these premiums are considered to have been paid by the cedants and the ceding insurer is no longer liable to us for those amounts, whether or not

retrocedants become unable to pay future premiums, we would be required to recognize a downward adjustment to our premiums receivable or reinsurance recoverables, as applicable, in our financial statements. As of March&nbsp;31, 2018, we had
reinsurance recoverables of approximately $1.58&nbsp;billion and our failure to collect even a small portion of these recoverables, or a meaningful delay in the collection of recoverables as to which our own underlying obligations are due, could

geopolitical conditions are outside of our control and difficult to predict, being influenced by factors such as national and international political circumstances (including governmental instability, wars, terrorist acts or security operations),
interest rates, market volatility, asset or market correlations, equity prices, availability of credit, inflation rates, economic uncertainty, changes in laws or regulations including as regards taxation, trade barriers, commodity prices, interest

integrate the acquired operations appropriately into our own operations, fail to successfully manage our operations as our product and geographical diversity increases, expend unforeseen costs during the acquisition or integration process, or
encounter other unanticipated risks or challenges. If we succeed in consummating a strategic investment, we may fail to value it accurately or divest it or otherwise realize the value which we originally invested or have subsequently reflected in

senior management team and the uncertain transition of new members of our senior management team may strain our ability to execute our strategic initiatives. The loss of one or more of our senior officers could adversely impact our business, by, for
example, making it more difficult to retain customers, attract or maintain our capital support, or meet other needs of our business, which depend in part on the service of the departing officer. We may also encounter unforeseen difficulties

changes in various factors, including prevailing interest rates and widening credit spreads. Increases in interest rates could cause the market value of our investment portfolio to decrease, perhaps substantially. Conversely, a decline in interest
rates could reduce our investment yield, which would reduce our overall profitability. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary policies, domestic and international economic and political conditions and
other factors beyond our control. Any measures we take that are intended to manage the risks of operating in a changing interest rate environment may not effectively mitigate such interest rate sensitivity. </P>

established on the basis of the valuation criteria set forth in the governing documents of such investment vehicles. Such valuations may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had ready markets existed for the shares,
partnership interests, notes or other securities representing interests in the relevant investment vehicles. We cannot assure you that, if we were forced to sell these assets, we would be able to sell them for the prices at which we have recorded
them, and we might be forced to sell them at significantly lower prices. Furthermore, our interests in many of the investment classes described above are subject to restrictions on redemptions and sales which limit our ability to liquidate these
investments in the short term. These classes of investments expose us to market risks including interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, equity price risk and credit risk. The performance of these classes of investments is also dependent on the
individual investment managers and the investment strategies. It is possible that the investment managers will leave and/or the investment strategies will become ineffective or that such managers will fail to follow our investment guidelines. Any of

lines of business that are considered to be long tail in nature, as they require a relatively long period of time to finalize and settle claims. Changes in the level of inflation also result in an increased level of uncertainty in our estimation of

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B>Risks Related to Our Industry </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>The reinsurance and insurance businesses are historically cyclical and the pricing and terms for our products may decline, which would affect our
profitability. </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The reinsurance and insurance industries have historically been cyclical, characterized by periods of decreasing
prices followed by periods of increasing prices. Reinsurers have experienced significant fluctuations in their results of operations due to numerous factors, including the frequency and severity of catastrophic events, perceptions of risk, levels of
capacity, general economic conditions and underwriting results of other insurers and reinsurers. All of these factors may contribute to price declines generally in the reinsurance and insurance industries. Following an increase in capital in our
industry after the 2005 catastrophe events and the subsequent period of substantial dislocation in the financial markets, the reinsurance and insurance markets have experienced a prolonged period of generally softening markets. Our
catastrophe-exposed lines are affected significantly by volatile and unpredictable developments, including natural and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">man-made</FONT> disasters. The occurrence, or nonoccurrence, of catastrophic events, the
frequency and severity of which are inherently unpredictable, affects both industry results and consequently prevailing market prices of our products. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We expect premium rates and other terms and conditions of trade to vary in the future. If demand for our products falls or the supply of
competing capacity rises, our prospects for potential growth, due in part to our disciplined approach to underwriting, may be adversely affected. In particular, we might lose existing customers or suffer a decline in business, which we might not
regain when industry conditions improve. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Recent or future U.S. federal or state legislation may impact the private markets and decrease the demand
for our property reinsurance products, which would adversely affect our business and results of operations. </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Legislation adversely
impacting the private markets could be enacted on a state, regional or federal level. In the past, federal bills have been proposed in Congress which would, if enacted, create a federal reinsurance backstop or guarantee mechanism for catastrophic
risks, including those we currently insure and reinsure in the private markets. These measures were not enacted by Congress; however, new bills to create a federal catastrophe reinsurance program to back up state insurance or reinsurance programs,
or to establish other similar or analogous funding mechanisms or structures, may be introduced. We believe that such legislation, if enacted, could contribute to growth, inception or alteration of state insurance entities in a manner that would be
adverse to us and to market participants more generally. If enacted, bills of this nature would likely further erode the role of private market catastrophe reinsurers and could adversely impact our financial results, perhaps materially. Moreover, we

&#147;Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act of 2014&#148; (the &#147;Grimm-Waters Act&#148;), which we believe has had an adverse impact on near term prospects for increased U.S. private flood insurance demand, the stability of the National
Flood Insurance Program (the &#147;NFIP&#148;) and the primary insurers that produce policies for the NFIP or offer private coverages, and it is possible that additional adverse legislation or rulemaking will be enacted at the federal or state

we are one of the largest providers of catastrophe-exposed coverage globally and in Florida, the 2007 bill and the weakened financial position of Florida insurers may have a greater adverse impact on us than it would on other reinsurance market

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The (re)insurance industry, including our competitors, customers and insurance and reinsurance brokers, has been consolidating. Should the
market continue to consolidate, there can be no assurance we would remain a leading reinsurer. These consolidated client and competitor enterprises may try to use their enhanced market power to negotiate price reductions for our products and
services and/or obtain a larger market share through increased line sizes. If competitive pressures reduce our prices, we would generally expect to reduce our future underwriting activities, resulting in reduced premiums and a reduction in expected
earnings. As the insurance industry consolidates, competition for customers will become more intense and the importance of sourcing and properly servicing each customer will become greater. We could incur greater expenses relating to customer
acquisition and retention, further reducing our operating margins. In addition, insurance companies that merge may be able to spread their risks across a consolidated, larger capital base so that they require less reinsurance. The number of
companies offering retrocessional reinsurance may decline. Reinsurance intermediaries could also continue to consolidate, potentially adversely impacting our ability to access business and distribute our products. We could also experience more
robust competition from larger, better capitalized competitors. Any of the foregoing could adversely affect our business or our results of operations. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>We operate in a highly competitive environment. </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The reinsurance industry is highly competitive. We compete, and will continue to compete, with major U.S. and
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> insurers and reinsurers, including other Bermuda-based reinsurers. Many of our competitors have greater financial, marketing and management resources than we do. Historically, periods of increased
capacity levels in our industry have led to increased competition and decreased prices for our products. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In recent years, hedge funds,
pension funds, endowments, investment banks, investment managers, exchanges and other capital markets participants have been increasingly active in the reinsurance market and markets for related risks, either through the formation of reinsurance
companies or the use of other financial products intended to compete with traditional reinsurance. We expect competition from these sources and others to continue to increase over time. It is possible that such new or alternative capital could cause
reductions in prices of our products, or reduce the duration or amplitude of attractive portions of the historical market cycles. New entrants or existing competitors may attempt to replicate all or part of our business model and provide further
competition in the markets in which we participate. Moreover, government-backed entities increasingly represent competition for the coverages we provide directly or for the business of our customers, reducing the potential amount of third party
private protection our clients might need or desire. To the extent that industry pricing of our products does not meet our hurdle rate, we would generally expect to reduce our future underwriting activities, thus resulting in reduced premiums and a
reduction in expected earnings. We are unable to predict the extent to which the foregoing or other new, proposed or potential initiatives may affect the demand for our products or the risks for which we seek to provide coverage. </P>

increasing number of international authorities, and we believe it is likely there will be increased regulatory intervention in our industry in the future. For example, the U.S. federal government has increased its scrutiny of the insurance
regulatory framework in recent years (including as specifically addressed in the Dodd-Frank Act), and some state legislators have considered or enacted laws that will alter and </P>

likely increase state regulation of insurance and reinsurance companies and holding companies. Moreover, the NAIC, which is an association of the insurance commissioners of all 50 states and the
District of Columbia, and state insurance regulators regularly reexamine existing laws and regulations. We could also be adversely affected by proposals or enacted legislation to expand the scope of coverage under existing policies for perils such
as hurricanes or earthquakes or for a pandemic disease outbreak, mandate the terms of insurance and reinsurance policies, expand the scope of the FIO or establish a new federal insurance regulator, revise laws, regulations, or contracts under which
we operate, disproportionately benefit the companies of one country over those of another or repeal or diminish the insurance company antitrust exemption from the McCarran Ferguson Act. Due to this increased legislative and regulatory scrutiny of
the reinsurance industry, our cost of compliance with applicable laws may increase, which could result in a decrease to both our profitability and the amount of time that our senior management allocates to running our
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">day-to-day</FONT></FONT> operations. Further, as we continue to expand our business operations to different regions of the world outside of Bermuda, we are increasingly subject to new

from the Trans-Pacific partnership and potentially renegotiate or terminate existing bilateral and multilateral trade arrangements, could adversely affect the reinsurance industry and our business. The reinsurance industry is disproportionately

economies, such as China and India, continue to impose significant restrictions on the writing of reinsurance by foreign companies. In addition, in the wake of recent large natural catastrophes, a number of proposals have been introduced to alter
the financing of natural catastrophes in several of the markets in which we operate. For example, the Thailand government has announced it is studying proposals for a natural catastrophe fund, under which the government would provide coverage for
natural disasters in excess of an industry retention and below a certain limit, after which private reinsurers would continue to participate. The government of the Philippines has announced that it is considering similar proposals. Indonesia&#146;s
financial services authority has announced a proposal to increase the amount of insurance business placed with domestic reinsurers. A range of proposals from varying stakeholders have been reported to have been made to alter the current regimes for
insuring flood risk in the U.K., flood risk in Australia and earthquake risk in New Zealand. If these proposals are enacted and reduce market opportunities for our clients or for the reinsurance industry, we could be adversely impacted. </P>

that some countries, including some EU countries, would deem a failure to implement <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">country-by-country</FONT></FONT> reporting to be sufficient rationale to place another country on a

regulatory, economic or market conditions and could contribute to instability in global political institutions and regulatory agencies.&nbsp;Brexit could also lead to legal uncertainty and differing laws and regulations between the U.K., and the EU,
and could impair or adversely affect the ability of the Lloyd&#146;s market, including Syndicate 1458, to transact business in EU countries, particularly in respect of primary or direct insurance business as to which we currently rely on the

subjective factors that require the relevant NAIC examiner to exercise substantial judgment in making a classification. There is therefore a risk that the preference shares may be classified by
NAIC as common equity instead of preferred equity. The NAIC classification determines the amount of risk based capital (&#147;RBC&#148;) charges incurred by insurance companies in connection with an investment in a security. Securities classified as
common equity by the NAIC carry RBC charges that can be significantly higher than the RBC requirement for debt or preferred equity. Therefore, any classification of the preference shares as common equity may adversely affect U.S. insurance companies

convertible into or carrying rights or options to purchase any such shares. The preference shares will not be subject to any sinking fund nor will we have any other obligation to redeem or retire the preference shares. The preference shares will

apart for payment would constitute a breach or a default. No dividends on the preference shares will be declared or paid or set apart for payment if prohibited by law or regulation. Holders of the preference shares will not be entitled to any
dividends in excess of full <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-cumulative</FONT> dividends, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, as described above. No interest or sum of money in lieu of interest will be payable on any dividend

subsidiaries to pay dividends to our shareholders, including holders of our preference shares. The holding company does not have any operations and from time to time may not have significant liquid assets. Applicable laws and regulations may limit
the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends. If our subsidiaries are restricted from paying dividends to us, we may be unable to pay dividends on the preference shares. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under Bermuda law, we may not lawfully declare or pay a dividend if there are reasonable grounds for believing that we are, or would after

(including in respect of any cash dividends and other payments from our operating subsidiaries to us to pay such dividends) be in breach of the Insurance Act, the Insurance (Prudential Standards) Class&nbsp;4 Solvency Requirement Rules, the
Insurance (Prudential Standards) (Insurance Group Solvency Requirement) Rules, including the Enhanced Capital Requirement contained within such Rules, or the Group Enhanced Capital Requirement or under such other applicable rules and regulations as

2018, which are incorporated herein by reference. Under the Insurance Act, an insurer (such as Renaissance Reinsurance and certain of our other operating subsidiaries) shall not declare or pay any dividends (including to us) during any financial
year if it would cause the insurer to fail to meet its relevant margins. In addition, dividends by a Class&nbsp;4 insurer, such as Renaissance Reinsurance, exceeding 25% of total statutory capital and surplus require, at least seven days prior to
the payment of such dividends, the filing of an affidavit signed by two directors and the principal representative of the insurer which states that in the opinion of those signing, declaration of those dividends has not caused the insurer to fail to
meet the solvency margin and liquidity requirements of the Insurance Act. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We may not redeem or purchase our preference shares if there

by way of delivering a notice of redemption as described below) and fails to do so, a court may not order the company to purchase the shares pursuant to Section&nbsp;42A if doing so would render the company insolvent or cause the breach of any
statute, and a court may not in any event award damages for any breach by the company of its agreement to purchase shares. A court may, however, require a company to complete a share purchase under Section&nbsp;42A to which it has agreed if the

its nominee. This means that we will not issue certificates to you for the Depositary Shares except in limited circumstances. The global securities will be issued to DTC, the depository for the Depositary Shares, who will keep a computerized record
of its participants (for example, your broker) whose clients have purchased the Depositary Shares. Each participant will then keep a record of its clients. Unless exchanged in whole or in part for a certificated security, a global security may not
be transferred. However, DTC, its nominees, and their successors may transfer a global security as a whole to one another. Beneficial interests in the global securities will be shown on, and transfers of the global securities will be made only
through, records maintained by DTC and its participants. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">DTC has advised us that it is a limited-purpose trust company organized under

and a &#147;clearing agency&#148; registered under the provisions of Section&nbsp;17A of the Exchange Act. DTC holds securities that its participants (direct participants) deposit with DTC. DTC also records the settlement among direct participants
of securities transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities through computerized records for direct participants&#146; accounts. This eliminates the need to exchange certificates. Direct participants include securities brokers
and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. Neither we nor the underwriters take any responsibility for these operations or procedures, and you are urged to contact DTC or its participants directly to
discuss these matters. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">DTC&#146;s book-entry system is also used by other organizations such as securities brokers and dealers, banks and
trust companies that work through a direct participant. The rules that apply to DTC and its participants are on file with the SEC. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">DTC is

credit for the preference shares on DTC&#146;s records. Since you actually own the Depositary Shares, you are the beneficial owner and your ownership interest will only be recorded in the direct (or indirect) participants&#146; records. DTC has no
knowledge of your individual ownership of the Depositary Shares. DTC&#146;s records only show the identity of the direct participants and the amount of the Depositary Shares held by or through them. You will not receive a written confirmation of
your purchase or sale or any periodic account statement directly from DTC. You will receive these from your direct (or indirect) participant. Thus, the direct (or indirect) participants are responsible for keeping accurate account of the holdings of
their customers like you. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We will wire dividend payments to DTC&#146;s nominee and we will treat DTC&#146;s nominee as the owner of the

RenaissanceRe, Renaissance Reinsurance, Top Layer Re or DaVinci or to any of their operations or their shares, debentures or other obligations until March 2035. Such companies could be subject to taxes in Bermuda after that date. These assurances

that some or all of RenaissanceRe, its Bermuda insurance subsidiaries or Bermuda <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-insurance</FONT> subsidiaries are engaged in a U.S. trade or business, in the opinion of counsel, the entities treated as engaged
in a U.S. trade or business, unless exempted from tax by the income tax treaty between the U.S. and Bermuda, discussed below, would be subject to U.S. corporate income tax on that portion of their respective net income treated as effectively
connected with a U.S. trade or business, as well as the U.S. corporate branch profits tax. The U.S. corporate income tax is currently imposed at the rate of 21% on net corporate profits and the U.S. corporate branch profits tax is imposed at the

though RenaissanceRe has taken and intends to continue to take the position that RenaissanceRe, its Bermuda insurance subsidiaries and its Bermuda <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-insurance</FONT> subsidiaries are not engaged in U.S. trades or

and credits disallowed in the event that any of them were held to be engaged in a U.S. trade or business. In addition, in the opinion of counsel, filing U.S. tax returns will allow the Bermuda insurance subsidiaries to claim benefits under the
income tax treaty without penalty. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Even if the IRS were to contend successfully that one or more of the Bermuda insurance subsidiaries
was engaged in a U.S. trade or business, in the opinion of counsel, assuming satisfaction of the 50% beneficial ownership and disproportionate distribution tests described below, the U.S.-Bermuda income tax treaty would preclude the U.S. from taxing
the Bermuda insurance subsidiaries on their net premium income, except to the extent attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by a Bermuda insurance subsidiary in the U.S. Although RenaissanceRe believes that none of the Bermuda
insurance subsidiaries has a permanent establishment in the U.S., RenaissanceRe cannot assure you that the IRS will not successfully contend that one or more of them has such a permanent establishment and therefore is subject to taxation. Further,
as the question of whether a Bermuda insurance subsidiary has a permanent establishment is inherently factual, counsel has not rendered a legal opinion on this issue. In addition, in the opinion of counsel, benefits of the income tax treaty are only
available to a Bermuda insurance subsidiary if more than 50% of its shares are beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by individuals who are Bermuda residents or U.S. citizens or residents. Although RenaissanceRe believes that each of the
Bermuda insurance subsidiaries meets, and RenaissanceRe will attempt to monitor compliance with, this beneficial ownership test, there can be no assurance that the beneficial ownership test will continue to be satisfied or that RenaissanceRe will be
able to establish its satisfaction to the IRS particularly with respect to those Bermuda insurance subsidiaries owned in part by third parties. Furthermore, in the opinion of counsel, income tax treaty benefits will also not be available to a
Bermuda insurance subsidiary if the income of such subsidiary is used in substantial part, directly or indirectly, to make disproportionate distributions to, or to pay certain liabilities to, persons that are neither residents of the U.S. or Bermuda
nor U.S. citizens. RenaissanceRe believes that each Bermuda insurance subsidiary should meet this requirement, but there can be no assurance that this will be so in the future. Finally, it should be noted that although the income tax treaty

will be subject to United States federal income tax on certain fixed or determinable annual or periodic gains, profits and income, such as dividends and certain interest on investment, if any, from sources within the United States. Generally, this
tax is imposed by withholding 30% of the payments, or deemed payments, to the Bermuda insurance subsidiaries that are subject to this tax, and is eliminated with respect to certain types of United States source income, such as &#147;portfolio
interest&#148;. If the Bermuda insurance subsidiaries are treated as engaged in the conduct of a trade or business within the United States, the 30% withholding tax only applies to payments that are not effectively connected with such trade or

If any of the Bermuda insurance subsidiaries is considered to be engaged in the conduct of an insurance business in the U.S. and such company (i)&nbsp;is not entitled to the benefits of the income tax treaty in general (because it fails to satisfy
one of the limitations on treaty benefits discussed above) or (ii)&nbsp;is entitled to the benefits of the income tax treaty in general, but the income tax treaty is interpreted not to apply to investment income, then Section&nbsp;842 could subject

this excise tax. The rate of tax currently applicable to reinsurance premiums paid to foreign reinsurers such as Renaissance Reinsurance, with respect to risks located in the U.S., is 1% of gross premiums (although this tax generally does not apply

value of all stock of such corporation. For purposes of taking into account insurance income, which is a category of subpart F income, a CFC also includes a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> company that earns insurance income in
which more than 25% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock or more than 25% of the total value of all stock is owned by 10% U.S. Shareholders on any day of the taxable year of such corporation, if the gross amount of premiums or
other consideration for the reinsurance or the issuing of insurance or annuity contracts (other than certain insurance or reinsurance related to same country risks written by certain insurance companies) exceeds 75% of the gross amount of all

<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> entities or constructively) at least 10% of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> corporation. Further, The Tax Bill
attributes ownership of shares of our <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> subsidiaries to our U.S. subsidiaries, which would cause each such <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> subsidiary to be treated as a CFC. These

of the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> insurance subsidiaries for any taxable year in the foreseeable future will constitute RPII. However, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not assert that 20% or more of the income of one

holder is an insured or related to an insured. For this purpose, all of the RPII of such subsidiaries would be allocated solely to U.S. Holders, but not in excess of a U.S. Holder&#146;s ratable share, based on the extent of its interest in

reinsureds or persons related thereto, RenaissanceRe may also seek information from its shareholders as to whether beneficial owners of its shares at the end of the year are U.S. persons, so that RPII may be apportioned among such persons. To the
extent RenaissanceRe is unable to determine whether a beneficial owner of shares is a U.S. person, RenaissanceRe may assume that such owner is not a U.S. person for purposes of apportioning RPII, thereby increasing the per share RPII amount for all

Treasury Regulations issued in April 1991 create some ambiguity as to whether Section&nbsp;1248 and the associated requirement to file Form 5471 would apply when the foreign corporation (such as RenaissanceRe) has a foreign insurance subsidiary that
is a CFC for RPII purposes and that would be taxed as an insurance company if it were a domestic corporation. In the opinion of counsel, Section&nbsp;1248 and the requirement to file Form 5471 will not apply to a less than 10% U.S. shareholder

certain threshold (which in the case of an individual will be between $125,000 and $250,000, depending on the individual&#146;s circumstances). A U.S. person&#146;s net investment income will generally include its dividend income and its net gains
from the disposition of shares, unless such dividend income or net gains are derived in the ordinary course of the conduct of a trade or business (other than a trade or business that consists of certain passive or trading activities). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Redemption of Preference Shares</I>. A redemption of preference shares and, in turn, Depositary Shares will be treated under
Section&nbsp;302 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code as a dividend if RenaissanceRe has sufficient earnings and profits, unless the redemption satisfies the test set forth in Section&nbsp;302(b) enabling the redemption to be treated as a sale or
exchange (in which case the discussion set forth above in &#147;Disposition of Depositary Shares by U.S. Persons Generally&#148; would be applicable), subject to the discussion herein relating to the potential application of the &#147;RPII&#148; and

RenaissanceRe or (3)&nbsp;is &#147;not essentially equivalent to a dividend,&#148; each within the meaning of Section&nbsp;302(b). In determining whether any of these tests are met, shares considered to be owned by the U.S. shareholder by reason of
certain constructive ownership rules set forth in the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, as well as shares actually owned, must generally be taken into account. Because the determination as to whether any of the alternative tests of Section&nbsp;302(b) of
the U.S. Internal Revenue Code is satisfied with respect to a particular holder of Depositary Shares will depend on the facts and circumstances as of the time the determination is made, U.S. shareholders are advised to consult their own tax advisors
to determine their tax treatment in light of their own particular investment circumstances. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Passive Foreign Investment Companies</I>.
Sections 1291 through 1297 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code contain special rules applicable with respect to foreign corporations that are PFICs. A foreign corporation will be a PFIC if 75% or more of its income constitutes passive income or 50% or
more of its assets produce, or are held for the production of, passive income and once characterized as a PFIC will generally retain PFIC status for future taxable years with respect to U.S. shareholders that were shareholders of the foreign
corporation at any time during which the foreign corporation was characterized as a PFIC. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If RenaissanceRe were to be characterized as a
PFIC, U.S. holders of Depositary Shares could be subject to a penalty tax at the time of their sale of (or receipt of an &#147;excess distribution&#148; with respect to) its shares. In general, a U.S. holder of Depositary Shares receives an
&#147;excess distribution&#148; if the amount of the distribution is more than 125% of the average distribution with respect to the Depositary Shares during the three preceding taxable years (or the taxpayer&#146;s holding period if it is less than
three years). In general, the penalty tax is equivalent to an interest charge on taxes that are deemed due during the taxpayer&#146;s holding period but not paid, computed by assuming that the excess distribution or gain (in the case of a sale) with
respect to the Depositary Shares was received in equal portions at the highest applicable rate as ordinary income throughout the U.S. taxpayer&#146;s holding period. The interest charge is equal to the applicable rate imposed on underpayments of
U.S. federal income tax for such period. A U.S. shareholder that is a shareholder of a PFIC may also be subject to additional information reporting covenants. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For the above purposes, passive income generally includes interest, dividends, annuities and other investment income. The PFIC rules, as

conduct of an insurance business by a qualifying insurance corporation is not treated as passive income. This exception originally was intended to ensure that income derived by a bona fide
insurance company is not treated as passive income, except to the extent such income is attributable to financial reserves in excess of the reasonable needs of the insurance businesses. The U.S. Internal Revenue Code contains a look-through rule
which states that, for purposes of determining whether a foreign corporation is a PFIC, such foreign corporation shall be treated as if it &#147;received directly its proportionate share of the income&#148; and as if it &#147;held its proportionate
share of the assets&#148; of any other corporation in which it owns (directly or indirectly) at least 25% of the stock. Under the look-through rule, RenaissanceRe would be deemed to own the assets and to have received the income of the <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> insurance subsidiaries as well as its other 25% owned direct and indirect subsidiaries directly for purposes of determining whether RenaissanceRe is a PFIC. The Tax Bill limits the insurance income
exception to a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> insurance company that is a qualifying insurance corporation that would be taxable as an insurance company if it were a U.S. corporation and maintains insurance liabilities of more than
25% of such company&#146;s assets for a taxable year (or maintains insurance liabilities that at least equal or exceed 10% of its assets and it satisfies a facts and circumstances test that requires a showing that the failure to exceed the 25%
threshold is due to <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">run-off</FONT> or rating agency circumstances). While we believe that we should satisfy this reserve test for the foreseeable future, we cannot assure you that this will continue to be the case in
future years, and there is a significant risk that joint venture entities managed by us may not satisfy the reserve test. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Further, the
IRS issued proposed regulations concerning the active insurance company exception. The proposed regulations provide that the active conduct of an insurance business must include the performance of substantial managerial and operational services by
an insurance company&#146;s own employees and officers. The activities of independent contractors and employees of affiliates are not sufficient to satisfy this requirement. The proposed regulations also clarify that income from investment assets
held by an insurance company to meet its obligations under insurance and annuity contracts will not be treated as passive income for PFIC purposes. However, the IRS did not propose a specific method for determining the portion of an insurance
company&#146;s assets that are held to meet obligations under insurance and annuity contracts, and solicited comments on appropriate approaches. At this time it is unclear whether final regulations will include a specific methodology and how any
such methodology would apply to us. The proposed regulations will be effective when issued in final form. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Taxation of
Distributions</I>. Subject to the discussions above relating to the potential application of the CFC, RPII and PFIC rules, cash distributions made with respect to the Depositary Shares will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes
to the extent paid out of current or accumulated earnings and profits of RenaissanceRe (as computed using U.S. tax principles). To the extent such distributions exceed RenaissanceRe s&#146; earnings and profits, they will be treated first as a
return of the shareholder&#146;s basis in their shares to the extent thereof, and then as gain from the sale of a capital asset (assuming the shares are held as capital assets). </P>

U.S. citizens or residents from domestic corporations or &#147;qualified foreign corporations&#148; is subject to tax at long-term capital gains rates (up to a maximum of 20%, in addition to the Medicare contribution tax discussed above). A
&#147;qualified foreign corporation&#148; is a foreign corporation that is either incorporated in a possession of the U.S. or is eligible for the benefits of a tax treaty that the U.S. Treasury Department considers a &#147;comprehensive income tax
treaty.&#148; The U.S. Treasury Department has determined that the Bermuda Treaty is not a comprehensive income tax treaty. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A foreign
corporation not otherwise treated as a qualified foreign corporation will be treated as such with respect to any dividend paid on stock that is readily tradable on an established securities market in the U.S. However, the term &#147;qualified

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If the underwriters create a short position in our Depositary Shares in connection with the
offering, i.e., if the underwriters sell more Depositary Shares than are listed on the cover of this prospectus supplement, the underwriters may reduce the short position by purchasing Depositary Shares in the open market. Purchases of the
Depositary Shares to stabilize their price or to reduce a short term position may cause the price of the Depositary Shares to be higher than it might be in the absence of such purchases. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The underwriters also may impose a penalty bid. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member
when the underwriters repurchase Depositary Shares originally sold by that syndicate member in order to cover syndicate short positions or make stabilizing purchases. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Any of these activities may have the effect of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the Depositary Shares. They may also
cause the price of the Depositary Shares to be higher than the price that would otherwise exist in the open market in the absence of these transactions. The underwriters may conduct these transactions on the NYSE or in the <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">over-the-counter</FONT></FONT> market, or otherwise. Neither we nor the underwriters make any representations or predictions as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the
transactions described above may have on the price of the Depositary Shares. If the underwriters commence any of these transactions, they may discontinue them at any time without notice. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We estimate that our total expenses of this offering, excluding the underwriting discount, will be approximately $913,625 and will be payable
by us. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to
contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make because of any of those liabilities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The underwriters have performed
commercial banking, investment banking and advisory services for RenaissanceRe and/or its affiliates from time to time for which they have received customary fees and reimbursement of expenses. The underwriters may, from time to time, engage in
transactions with and perform services for us and our affiliates in the ordinary course of their business for which they may receive customary fees and reimbursement of expenses. For example, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, an affiliate of
Wells Fargo Securities, LLC acts as a lender and in one or more agency capacities under RenaissanceRe&#146;s $250&nbsp;million committed revolving credit facility and RenaissanceRe&#146;s uncommitted, secured standby letter of credit facility. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, in the ordinary course of their various business activities, the underwriters and their respective affiliates may make or hold a
broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers, and such investment and
securities activities may involve securities and instruments of ours or our affiliates. Certain of the underwriters and their affiliates that have a lending relationship with us routinely hedge their credit exposure to us consistent with their
customary risk management policies. Typically, such underwriters and their affiliates would hedge such exposure by entering into transactions which consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in our
securities. The underwriters and their respective affiliates may also make investment recommendations or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or financial instruments and may at any time hold, or recommend to
clients that they acquire, long or short positions in such securities and instruments. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We expect that delivery of the Depositary Shares
will be made against payment therefor on or about June&nbsp;18, 2018, which is five business days following the date of this prospectus supplement (such settlement cycle being referred to as &#147;T+5&#148;). Under Rule <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">15c6-1</FONT> under the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to
trade the Depositary Shares on the date of pricing or the next two succeeding business days will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Depositary Shares initially will settle in T+5, to specify an alternative settlement cycle at the time of
any such trade to prevent failed settlement. </P>

RenaissanceRe to the extent such ownership would result in such Person or any other any Person being considered to own or control Controlled Shares, as our Board of Directors may determine in its sole discretion, and such ownership of Controlled
Shares (i)&nbsp;would render any Person a Ten Percent Shareholder, (ii)&nbsp;cause RenaissanceRe to become a &#147;controlled foreign corporation&#148; within the meaning of section 957 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
&#147;Code&#148;), or (iii)&nbsp;cause RenaissanceRe to become a &#147;foreign personal holding company&#148; within the meaning of section 552 of the Code. Our Board of Directors has the right to waive these restrictions in its sole discretion and
may decline to register any transfer of shares if the transfer, in the discretion of the Board, would have any of the effects described in clauses (i)-(iii) above. These limits may have the effect of deterring purchases of large blocks of common
shares or proposals to acquire us, even if some or a majority of the shareholders might deem these purchases or acquisition proposals to be in their best interests. With respect to this issue, also see the provisions discussed below under

of a tender offer, open market purchase, a proxy fight or otherwise. These provisions are designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to negotiate with our directors. We believe that, as a general rule, the interests of our
shareholders would be best served if any change in control results from negotiations with our directors. These provisions could have the effect of discouraging a prospective acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain
control of us. In addition, these <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Bye-Law</FONT> provisions could prevent the removal of our current Board of Directors and management. </P>

discussed above under &#147;Transfers of Shares,&#148; set forth below is a description of certain other provisions of the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Bye-Laws.</FONT> Because the following description is intended as a summary only and is
therefore not complete, you should refer to the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Bye-Laws,</FONT> which are incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, for complete information
regarding these provisions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>BOARD OF DIRECTOR PROVISIONS </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Bye-Laws</FONT> provide for a classified board, to which approximately
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">one-third</FONT> of the Board is elected each year at our annual general meeting of shareholders. Accordingly, our directors serve three-year terms rather than <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">one-year</FONT> terms.
Moreover, our <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Bye-Laws</FONT> provide that each director may be removed by the shareholders only for cause upon the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than 66 2/3% of the voting rights attached to all issued
and outstanding capital shares entitled to vote for the election of that director. Further, our <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Bye-Laws</FONT> fix the size of the Board at eight directors although the incumbent Board may increase its size to
eleven members; there are currently eleven members of the Board. In addition, shareholders may only nominate persons for election as director at an annual or special general meeting of shareholders called for the purpose of electing directors only
if, among other things, a satisfactory written notice signed by not less than 20 shareholders holding in the aggregate not less than 10% of our outstanding <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">paid-up</FONT> share capital is timely submitted. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We believe that these <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Bye-Law</FONT> provisions enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the
composition of the Board and in the policies formulated by the Board. We believe these provisions assist our Board to represent more effectively the interests of all shareholders, including taking action in response to demands or actions by a
minority shareholder or group. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our classified Board makes it more difficult for shareholders to change the composition of our Board even
if some or a majority of the shareholders believe such a change would be desirable. Moreover, these <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Bye-Law</FONT> provisions may deter changes in the composition of the Board or certain mergers, tender offers or
other future takeover attempts which some or a majority of holders of our securities may deem to be in their best interest. In addition, because the classification provisions may discourage accumulations of large blocks of our shares by purchasers
whose objective is to take control of RenaissanceRe and remove a majority of our Board of Directors, the classification of our Board of Directors could tend to reduce the likelihood of fluctuations in the market price of the shares that might result
from accumulation of large blocks for such a purpose. Accordingly, shareholders could be deprived of certain opportunities to sell their shares at a higher price than might otherwise be the case. </P>

all of our issued and outstanding capital shares, then all such excess Controlled Shares shall carry no voting rights and the voting rights of such excess Controlled Shares shall be allocated to the other holders of shares pro rata based on the
number of shares held by all such other holders of shares, subject to certain exceptions designed to avoid having such allocation cause any other shareholder to become a Ten Percent Shareholder. Our Board of Directors has the right to waive these

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Generally, the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Bye-Laws</FONT> prohibit shareholders from

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">These requirements regulating shareholder nominations and proposals may have the effect of deterring a contest for the election of directors
or the introduction of a shareholder proposal if the procedures summarized above are not followed. They may also discourage or deter a third party from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect its own slate of directors or to introduce a
proposal. For a more complete description of these provisions, you should refer to the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Bye-Laws,</FONT> which are incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Bye-Laws</FONT> require the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the voting rights attached to all of
our issued and outstanding capital shares to amend, repeal or adopt any provision inconsistent with several provisions of the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Bye-Laws.</FONT> The provisions include, among others things, those relating to: the size
of our Board and its division into classes, the removal of directors, the powers of shareholders to nominate directors, to call shareholder meetings and to propose matters to be acted on at shareholder meetings. This supermajority requirement could
make it more difficult for shareholders to propose and adopt changes to the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Bye-Laws</FONT> intended to facilitate the acquisition or exercise of control over us. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have a large number of authorized but unissued shares available for issuance. Generally, these shares may be issued by action of our
directors without further action by shareholders (except as may be required by applicable stock exchange requirements). The availability of these shares for issue could be viewed as enabling the directors to make a change in our control more
difficult. For example, the directors could determine to issue warrants or rights to acquire shares. In addition, we have authorized a sufficient amount of our shares such that we could put in place a shareholder rights plan without further action
by shareholders. A shareholder rights plan could serve to dilute or deter stock ownership of persons seeking to obtain control of us. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our
ability to take these actions makes it more difficult for a third party to acquire us without negotiating with the Board, even if some or a majority of the shareholders desired to pursue a proposed transaction. Moreover, these powers could
discourage or defeat unsolicited stock accumulation programs and acquisition proposals. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B><A NAME="rom588903_12"></A>DESCRIPTION OF THE

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The depositary shares will be evidenced by depositary receipts issued pursuant to the

been called for redemption), the holder of the depositary shares evidenced thereby is entitled to delivery of the number of whole shares of the related common shares or class or series of preference shares and any money or other property represented
by such depositary shares. Holders of depositary shares will be entitled to receive whole shares of the related common shares or class or series of preference shares on the basis set forth in the prospectus supplement for such common shares or class
or series of preference shares, but holders of such whole common shares or preference shares will not thereafter be entitled to exchange them for depositary shares. If the depositary receipts delivered by the holder evidence a number of depositary
shares in excess of the number of depositary shares representing the number of whole common shares or preference shares to be withdrawn, the depositary will deliver to such holder at the same time a new depositary receipt evidencing such excess
number of depositary shares. In no event will fractional common shares or preference shares be delivered upon surrender of depositary receipts to the depositary. </P>

we redeem common shares or preference shares held by the depositary, the depositary will redeem as of the same redemption date the number of depositary shares representing shares of common shares or the related class or series of preference shares

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to a series of the debt
securities will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to such series. We, RenaissanceRe Finance and RRNAH anticipate that the following provisions will apply to all depositary arrangements. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Upon the issuance of a global security, the depositary for such global security or its nominee will credit, on its book-entry registration and
transfer system, the respective principal amounts of the debt securities represented by such global security to the participants&#146; accounts. Such accounts will be designated by the underwriters or agents with respect to such debt securities or
by us if such debt securities are offered and sold directly by us. Ownership of beneficial interests by participants in a global security will be limited to participants and persons that may hold interests through participants. Ownership of
beneficial interests in such global security will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected only through, records maintained by the depositary or its nominee (with respect to interests of participants) and on the records of
participants (with respect to interests of persons other than participants). The laws of some states require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of such securities in definitive form. Such limits and such laws may impair the
ability to transfer beneficial interests in a global security. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">So long as the depositary for a global security, or its nominee, is the
registered owner of such global security, such depositary or such nominee, as applicable, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the debt securities represented by such global security for all purposes under the applicable indenture. Except
as described below, owners of beneficial interests in a global security will not be entitled to have the debt securities of the series represented by such global security registered in their names and will not receive or be entitled to receive
physical delivery of the debt securities of that series in definitive form and will not be considered owners or holders thereof under the indenture under which the debt securities are issued. Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial interest in
a global security must rely on the procedures of the depositary. Persons who are not participants must rely on the procedures of the participant through which they own their interest. We understand that under existing industry practices, if we
request any action of holders or if any owner of a beneficial interest in a global security desires to give or take any action which a holder is entitled to give or take under the applicable indenture, the depositary would authorize the participants
holding the relevant beneficial interests to give or take such action, and such participants would authorize beneficial owners owning through such participants to give or take such action or would otherwise act upon the instruction of beneficial
owners holding through them. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Principal of, any premium and interest on, and any additional amounts with respect to, the debt securities
registered in the name of a depositary or its nominee will be made to the depositary or its nominee, as applicable, as the registered owner of the global security representing such debt securities. None of the trustee, any paying agent, the security
registrar, us, RenaissanceRe Finance or RRNAH will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of the global security for such debt securities or for
maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We, RenaissanceRe Finance and RRNAH
expect that the depositary for a series of the debt securities or its nominee, upon receipt of any payment with respect to such debt securities, will credit immediately participants&#146; accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their
respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of the global security for such debt securities as shown on the records of such depositary or its nominee. We, RenaissanceRe Finance and RRNAH also expect that payments by participants to
owners of beneficial interests in such global security held through such participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers registered in &#147;street
name,&#148; and will be the responsibility of such participants. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are a Bermuda company. In addition, certain of our directors and officers as well as certain of the experts named in this prospectus,
reside outside the United States, and all or a substantial portion of our assets and their assets are located outside the United States. Therefore, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon those
persons or to recover against us or those persons on judgments of courts in the United States, including judgments based on civil liabilities provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws. However, investors may serve us with process in the United
States with respect to actions against us arising out of or in connection with the U.S. Federal securities laws relating to offers and sales of the securities covered by this prospectus by serving RenRe North America Holdings Inc., our United States
agent irrevocably appointed for that purpose. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have been advised by Conyers Dill&nbsp;&amp; Pearman Limited, our special Bermuda legal
counsel, that the United States and Bermuda do not currently have a treaty providing for reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters. We also have been advised by Conyers Dill&nbsp;&amp; Pearman Limited that
there is doubt as to whether the courts of Bermuda would enforce (1)&nbsp;judgments of United States courts based on the civil liability provisions of the United States federal securities laws obtained in actions against us or our directors and
officers, and (2)&nbsp;original actions brought in Bermuda against us or our officers and directors based solely upon the United States federal securities laws. A Bermuda court may, however, impose civil liability on us or our directors or officers
in a suit brought in the Supreme Court of Bermuda provided that the facts alleged constitute or give rise to a cause of action under Bermuda law. Certain remedies available under the laws of U.S. jurisdictions, including certain remedies under the
U.S. federal securities laws, would not be allowed in Bermuda courts to the extent that they are contrary to public policy. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">YOU SHOULD
