that may be offered under this prospectus by the selling shareholder consist of 1,739,071 common shares issued to TMNF pursuant to the TMR Stock Purchase Agreement. We are registering these common shares to satisfy registration rights we have
granted to the selling shareholder pursuant to the registration rights agreement entered into in connection with the TMR Stock Purchase Agreement. The registration rights agreement also contains certain restrictions on the ability of TMNF and its
controlled affiliates to transfer common shares for twelve (12)&nbsp;months after the closing under the TMR Stock Purchase Agreement (i.e. ending on March&nbsp;22, 2020), subject to certain exceptions. On January&nbsp;6, 2020, the Company granted a
waiver to TMNF to enable TMNF to sell all of its shares in an underwritten offering. For further information regarding the TMR Stock Purchase Agreement and the related registration rights agreement, please see our Current Report on Form <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">8-K</FONT> filed with the Commission on November&nbsp;5, 2018, which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus. </P>

shareholder, based on 44,148,116 common shares outstanding as of that date. We have prepared the table based on the information provided to us by the selling shareholder and, assuming that the selling shareholder sells all of the common shares
beneficially owned by it that have been registered by us and does not acquire any additional common shares during the offering, the selling shareholder will not beneficially own any common shares other than those appearing in the column entitled
&#147;Common Shares Owned After All Shares are Sold under this Prospectus&#148; in the table below. The selling shareholder may from time to time offer and sell any or all of the common shares set forth below pursuant to this prospectus in
accordance with one or more of the methods of distribution described under the caption &#147;Plan of Distribution.&#148; Because the selling shareholder may offer all or some portion of the common shares registered hereunder, we cannot estimate the
number of common shares that will be held by the selling shareholder upon termination of any offering. We cannot advise you as to whether the selling shareholder will in fact sell any or all of such common shares. In addition, the selling
shareholder may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, or may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at any time and from time to time, the common shares in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act
after the date as of which the information is set forth in the table below. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Except for insurance and reinsurance transactions in the
ordinary course of business, as otherwise noted in this prospectus (including in the information incorporated herein by reference) or the TMR Stock Purchase Agreement and the other agreements entered into in connection therewith, the selling
shareholder does not have, or within the past three years has not had, any position, office or material relationship with us or any of our predecessors or affiliates, and the selling shareholder is not and was not affiliated with registered
broker-dealers. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Except as noted in the table below, we believe based on the information provided to us that the entity named in the table

offered by a prospectus supplement, upon issuance against full consideration, will be fully paid and nonassessable within the meaning of applicable Bermuda law. There are no provisions of Bermuda law or our Memorandum and <FONT

to the voting restrictions set forth below, holders of common shares are entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of holders of common shares and do not have any cumulative voting rights. In the event of a liquidation,
dissolution, or <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">winding-up</FONT> of the Company, the holders of common shares are entitled to share equally and ratably in the assets of the Company, if any, remaining after the payment of all debts and liabilities
of the Company and the liquidation preference of any outstanding preference shares. Authorized but unissued common shares may be issued at any time and at the discretion of our Board of Directors without the approval of the shareholders of the
Company with such rights, preferences and limitations as the Board of Directors may determine. Holders of common shares have one vote for each common share held on all matters submitted to a vote on a poll of such holders. Most matters to be
approved by holders of common shares require approval by a simple majority vote. All matters relating to a liquidation or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company shall require the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting
rights attached to all issued and outstanding capital shares of the Company entitled to vote thereon. All matters relating to an amalgamation or other reorganization of the Company with or into another company (other than &#147;short-form&#148;
amalgamations pursuant to section 107 of the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda) shall require the affirmative vote of a majority of all issued and outstanding capital shares of the Company. All matters relating to a merger by the Company into another
company (other than &#147;short-form&#148; mergers pursuant to section 107 of the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda) shall require the approval of the holders of three-fourths of the Company&#146;s shares present in person or by proxy at a meeting and
voting thereon. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The holders of common shares will receive such dividends, if any, as may be declared by the Board out of funds legally
available for such purposes. Under Bermuda law, a company may not declare or pay a dividend, or make a distribution out of contributed surplus, if there are reasonable grounds for believing that (i)&nbsp;the company is, or would after the payment
be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due or (ii)&nbsp;the realizable value of the company&#146;s assets would thereby be less than the aggregate of its liabilities and its issued share capital and share premium accounts. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, our <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Bye-laws</FONT> provide that no Person shall be permitted to own or control shares in
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
&#147;Anti-Takeover Effects of Certain <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Bye-Law</FONT> Provisions.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;Controlled Shares&#148; in

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECTS OF CERTAIN <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">BYE-LAW</FONT> 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> contain certain provisions that make it more difficult to acquire control of us by means
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>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition to those provisions of the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Bye-Laws</FONT> 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:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Board of Director Provisions</I>. 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>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Voting Rights Limitations</I>. Our <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Bye-Laws</FONT> provide that to the extent a Person shall be deemed by
our Board of Directors in its sole discretion to own or control Controlled Shares which represent in excess of 9.9% of the voting rights attached to 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 restrictions in its sole discretion. </P>

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 part. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Supermajority
Requirements for Certain Amendments</I>. 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:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Availability of Shares for Future Issuances; Shareholder Rights Plan</I>. 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 share 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 share accumulation programs and acquisition proposals. </P>
