 </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:7.5pt; font-family:Times New Roman">July&nbsp;20, 2015 </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:7.5pt; font-family:Times New Roman">To the
Shareholders of AXIS Capital Holdings Limited: </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:7.5pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Revised Amalgamation Terms and Conditions </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:3pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:3%; font-size:7.5pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B></B>On July&nbsp;15, 2015, AXIS Capital Holdings Limited (&#147;<B>AXIS</B>&#148;) and PartnerRe Ltd. (&#147;<B>PartnerRe</B>&#148;)
entered into the Fifth Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Amalgamation (or the &#147;fifth amendment&#148;), further amending the Agreement and Plan of Amalgamation originally entered into by and between PartnerRe and AXIS, dated as of
January&nbsp;25, 2015 and which was thereafter amended on February&nbsp;17, 2015,&nbsp;March&nbsp;10, 2015,&nbsp;March&nbsp;31, 2015 and May&nbsp;3, 2015. <B> </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:3%; font-size:7.5pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Pursuant to the fifth amendment, AXIS and PartnerRe have agreed (i)&nbsp;to increase by $6.00 to $17.50 per common share the one-time, special
cash dividend (&#147;revised special dividend&#148;) payable to each holder of record of PartnerRe common shares upon consummation of the amalgamation between AXIS and PartnerRe (the &#147;closing&#148;), which will be funded by using a portion of
the funds allocated to the previously announced share repurchases by the amalgamated company following closing, and (ii)&nbsp;the amalgamated company will launch an exchange offer to exchange newly issued preferred shares of the amalgamated company
for each series of preferred shares of the amalgamated company held by PartnerRe preferred shareholders at the Effective Time (the &#147;proposed exchange offer&#148;), subject to the amalgamated company obtaining a private letter ruling from the
Internal Revenue Service (the &#147;IRS&#148;) to the effect that the issuance of preferred shares pursuant to the proposed exchange offer would not result in a &#147;listed transaction&#148; or otherwise expose the holders of amalgamated company
stock to tax shelter reporting obligations (the &#147;IRS private letter ruling&#148;). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:3%; font-size:7.5pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The exchange ratio for each company&#146;s common
shares, as well as the pro forma ownership and corporate governance of the amalgamated company, all remain unchanged. Each record holder of AXIS common shares will still be entitled to receive one share of the amalgamated company for each common
share of AXIS. AXIS and PartnerRe have also agreed that each party&#146;s obligation to close the amalgamation will no longer be conditioned on the absence of a ratings downgrade from A.M. Best. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:3%; font-size:7.5pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In executing the fifth amendment, AXIS and PartnerRe have reaffirmed their commitment to their amalgamation and the belief of the board of
directors and management teams of both companies that the amalgamation has strong strategic, operational and financial merits that will create value for all shareholders of the amalgamated company. Having received all of the competition-related
approvals and all of the non-U.S. regulatory approvals, the amalgamation remains on track to close in the third quarter of 2015, subject to approvals by the shareholders of both companies, certain remaining U.S. insurance regulatory clearances and
customary closing conditions. Your vote is critical to realize the value potential of the amalgamation between AXIS and PartnerRe. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:7.5pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Market-Leading
Global Reinsurer </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:3pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:3%; font-size:7.5pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The amalgamated company will be a top five global reinsurer with increased scale and relevance. In addition to
greater business opportunities and the ability to expand the breadth of our products globally, the amalgamated company will have a leading specialty insurance franchise and will be well positioned to take advantage of growth opportunities in the
specialty insurance and life, accident and health markets throughout the world. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:3%; font-size:7.5pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The amalgamation will be accretive to operating earnings
and return on equity (&#147;ROE&#148;) in year one, achieving double-digit EPS accretion and a double-digit ROE by 2017, which will make us one of the premier performing companies in insurance and reinsurance. We believe the amalgamated
company&#146;s high ROE and low volatility profile will support a premium valuation relative to its peers. As a result of this expected earnings accretion and increased ROE, the amalgamated company is expected to deliver robust capital returns while
growing the business and maintaining a strong financial profile. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:3%; font-size:7.5pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Together, AXIS and PartnerRe will be a market leading company of choice
for clients, driving tremendous growth opportunities. But we cannot complete the amalgamation unless the shareholders of AXIS and PartnerRe approve the amalgamation. AXIS and PartnerRe will each be holding a special general meeting of their
respective shareholders on August&nbsp;7, 2015 to approve the amalgamation. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:7.5pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B>The AXIS board of directors has unanimously approved the
amalgamation and recommends that you vote &#147;FOR&#148; the transaction. </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:7.5pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Voting Instructions </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:3pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:3%; font-size:7.5pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Your vote is very important, regardless of the number of shares you own. Whether or not you expect to attend the special general meeting in
person, please take the time to vote on the proposals by signing and returning the enclosed proxy card or voting instruction form, or by submitting your proxy over the Internet or by telephone, today to ensure that your shares may be represented and
voted at the applicable special general meeting. If you have already voted and do not wish to change your vote, then your vote will remain valid. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:3%; font-size:7.5pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>We urge all AXIS shareholders to vote &#147;FOR&#148; the transaction to realize the superior value offered by the amalgamation of AXIS and
PartnerRe. </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:3%; font-size:7.5pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We look forward to the successful amalgamation of AXIS and PartnerRe. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:7.5pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Sincerely, </P> <P STYLE="font-size:6pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P><DIV ALIGN="right">

incorporated by reference in the joint proxy statement. You are also encouraged to review the documents referenced under the answer to the question &#147;<I>Where Can I Find More Information</I>&#148; and consult with your accounting, legal and tax
advisors. Once you have considered all relevant information, we encourage you to fill in and return the enclosed proxy card (if you are a shareholder of record) or voting instruction form (if you are a shareholder who holds your shares through a
bank, broker or other nominee). If you have already submitted your proxy card or voting instruction form, you do not need to take any further action unless you wish to change how you voted. </P>

of AXIS with respect to those shares and this disclosure statement and the enclosed proxy card was sent to you directly by AXIS. As an AXIS shareholder of record, you may vote by completing, dating, signing and mailing the enclosed proxy card in the
return envelope provided as soon as possible or by following the instructions on the enclosed proxy card to submit your proxy by telephone or over the Internet at the website indicated. Consummation of the proxy over the Internet is available
through 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the business day before the AXIS special general meeting. AXIS shareholders of record may also vote by attending the AXIS special general meeting in person. However, whether or not you plan to attend the AXIS
special general meeting in person, we encourage you to vote your AXIS shares in advance to ensure that your vote is represented at the special general meeting. Abstentions and, if applicable, &#147;broker non-votes&#148; will be counted toward the
presence of a quorum at the AXIS special general meeting, but will not be considered votes cast on any proposal brought before the AXIS special general meeting. </P>

organization or nominee, then you are considered a beneficial owner of such shares held for you in what is known as &#147;street name.&#148; Most shareholders of AXIS hold their respective shares in &#147;street name.&#148; If this is the case, this
disclosure statement has been forwarded to you by your bank, broker or other organization or nominee together with a voting instruction form. You may vote by completing and returning your voting instruction form to your broker. Please review the
voting instruction form to see if you are able to submit your voting instructions by telephone or over the Internet. The organization or nominee holding your account is considered the shareholder of record for purposes of voting at the AXIS special
general meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to instruct the organization that holds your shares of record how to vote the AXIS shares that you beneficially own. If you are a beneficial owner of AXIS shares held in &#147;street
name&#148; rather than a shareholder of record, you may only vote your AXIS shares in person at the AXIS special general meeting if you obtain and bring a letter from the organization or nominee holding your AXIS shares identifying you as the
beneficial owner of those shares and authorizing you to vote your AXIS shares at the special general meeting. A legal proxy form from your broker and valid identification is required. </P>

vote takes place at the AXIS special general meeting. You may also send a written notice to the Secretary of AXIS stating that you would like to revoke your proxy. You may also complete and submit a new AXIS proxy by telephone or over the Internet.
In addition, you may elect to attend the AXIS special general meeting and vote in person, as described above under the question titled &#147;&#151;<I>How do I vote my shares?</I>&#148;. If you are an AXIS shareholder and you hold your shares through
a bank, broker or other nominee, you may revoke the instructions only by informing the bank, broker or nominee in accordance with any procedures established by that nominee. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On July&nbsp;15, 2015, AXIS and PartnerRe entered into the fifth amendment, which permits PartnerRe to effect payment of a one-time revised
special dividend in the amount of $17.50 per PartnerRe common share to each holder of PartnerRe common shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the amalgamation. The declaration of the revised special dividend is
contingent upon the submission of the formal application to the Registrar of Companies for the amalgamation to be registered with payment conditional on, and such payment date following, the consummation of the amalgamation by the issuance of the
certificate of amalgamation by the Registrar of Companies. For the avoidance of doubt, the revised special dividend will not have been effectively declared and, therefore, will not be payable if the formal application to register the amalgamation is
not submitted to the Registrar of Companies. PartnerRe will also equitably adjust the exercise price of and, if applicable, the number of PartnerRe common shares covered by, each vested and unvested option and share appreciation right to account for
the revised special dividend. PartnerRe will be permitted to incur indebtedness of up to $300 million in order to pay the special dividend, provided that AXIS is first offered the opportunity to fund all or any part of such indebtedness on mutually
agreed terms prior to PartnerRe seeking any debt financing from third parties. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The fifth amendment removes the condition that AXIS&#146;
obligation to close the amalgamation is conditioned on PartnerRe&#146;s Bermuda insurance subsidiaries having an A.M. Best rating of at least &#147;A-&#148;, and the reciprocal condition for PartnerRe as it applies to the A.M. Best ratings of
AXIS&#146; insurance subsidiaries domiciled in Bermuda. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The fifth amendment also provides that, subject to obtaining the IRS private
letter ruling, PartnerRe AXIS Capital Limited will launch the proposed exchange offer to exchange newly issued preferred shares of PartnerRe AXIS Capital Limited for each series of preferred shares of PartnerRe AXIS Capital Limited held by PartnerRe
preferred shareholders at the closing. The securities received in the proposed exchange offer will reflect a 100 basis point increase in the current dividend rate applicable to the relevant series of PartnerRe preferred shares, and subject to
certain exceptions, an extended redemption date of the later of (a)&nbsp;the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance and (b)&nbsp;January&nbsp;21, 2021. The terms of the newly issued preferred shares would be otherwise identical in all material
respects to the applicable existing PartnerRe preferred shares. AXIS and PartnerRe have undertaken to use commercially reasonable efforts until the earlier of (i)&nbsp;the receipt of a private ruling from the IRS and (ii)&nbsp;December&nbsp;31, 2016
to obtain such ruling, and have agreed that PartnerRe AXIS Capital Limited will use commercially reasonable efforts to launch the proposed exchange offer for the applicable PartnerRe AXIS Capital Limited preferred shares promptly upon the receipt of
such ruling. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I></I>The AXIS board of directors believes that the amalgamation agreement (as amended by the fifth amendment) and the
transactions contemplated thereby, including the amalgamation, are advisable and fair to and in the best interests of AXIS and its shareholders. Accordingly, the AXIS board of directors has approved the amalgamation agreement and the transactions
contemplated thereby, and unanimously recommends that the AXIS shareholders vote &#147;FOR&#148; adoption of the amalgamation agreement, the statutory amalgamation agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the amalgamation. For
more information on the reasons for this recommendation of the AXIS board of directors, please see the section &#147;<I>AXIS&#146; Reasons for the Amalgamation and Recommendation of AXIS Board of Directors</I>&#148; in the joint proxy statement and

for business combinations under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP). After considering the relevant U.S. GAAP guidance, it has been determined that AXIS is the acquiring entity for accounting purposes, primarily

after giving effect to the completion of the amalgamation and the assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes. It does not give consideration to the impact of revenue enhancements or potential lost business, expense efficiencies,
synergies, integration costs, asset dispositions, or other actions that may result from the amalgamation. The preliminary unaudited pro forma information was prepared in accordance with applicable SEC pro forma guidance under Regulation S-X Article

assets, liabilities incurred, or equity interests issued), measurement of the acquisition consideration is based on the fair value of the consideration given or the fair value of the assets (or net assets) acquired, whichever is more clearly evident

combination are recognized at their acquisition-date fair value, while transaction costs and restructuring costs associated with the business combination are expensed as incurred. The amount of the acquisition consideration over the fair value of
assets acquired and liabilities assumed is allocated to goodwill. Changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties, if any, after the acquisition date will generally affect income tax expense. Subsequent to the
completion of the amalgamation, AXIS and PartnerRe will finalize an integration plan, which may affect how the assets acquired, including intangible assets, will be utilized by the combined company. </P>

the agreement to allow PartnerRe to pay a one-time special dividend of $11.50 per share to PartnerRe&#146;s common shareholders in connection with the closing of the amalgamation. On July&nbsp;15, 2015, AXIS and PartnerRe further amended the
agreement to increase the one-time special dividend to $17.50 per share. In addition, the agreement was amended to allow the amalgamated company to commence an exchange offer pursuant to which PartnerRe preferred shareholders would receive newly
issued preferred shares of the amalgamated company reflecting an increase in the current dividend rate on PartnerRe preferred shares by 100 basis points and to extend the redemption period date to the later of (a)&nbsp;the fifth anniversary of the

consideration to be paid pursuant to the amalgamation agreement (after taking into account the special dividend, in the case of the opinion delivered by AXIS&#146; financial advisor) was fair from a financial point of view to the holders of the
outstanding PartnerRe common shares and AXIS common shares. In performing such financial analyses and delivering such opinions, the financial advisors reviewed, among other things, projected non-public financial statements and other projected
non-public financial data prepared and furnished to it by PartnerRe and AXIS management, respectively. None of the projected non-public financial statements and other projected non-public financial data was prepared with a view toward public
disclosure or compliance with the published guidelines of the SEC or the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants regarding projections and forecasts. These projections are inherently based on various estimates and assumptions that are
subject to the judgment of those preparing them. These projections are also subject to significant economic, competitive, industry and other uncertainties and contingencies, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict and many of which are
beyond the control of PartnerRe and AXIS. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the amalgamated company&#146;s financial condition or results of operations will not be significantly worse than those set forth in such projected non-public
financial statements and other projected non-public financial data. </P>

companies filed their joint proxy statement/prospectus and commenced mailing of the joint proxy statement to their shareholders. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On
June&nbsp;3, 2015, EXOR filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court of Bermuda requesting PartnerRe to disclose certain non-public information related to PartnerRe&#146;s shareholder base, particularly its non-objecting beneficial owners. On June&nbsp;5,
2015, the Supreme Court of Bermuda issued a ruling denying such request. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">During June 2015 and prior to the Revised EXOR Offer on
July&nbsp;7, 2015 (described below), members of the management of AXIS and PartnerRe engaged in integration planning and held various meetings with, and made presentations to, representatives of their respective shareholders to explain the benefits
of the amalgamation to both companies&#146; shareholders. The parties also discussed the possibility of, but had not agreed to, an increase in the previously announced special dividend to PartnerRe shareholders to help obtain the requisite vote from
the PartnerRe shareholders to approve the amalgamation. The parties also discussed the possibility of, but had not agreed to, the elimination of each party&#146;s obligation to close the amalgamation being conditioned on the other party&#146;s
Bermuda insurance subsidiaries having an A.M. Best rating of at least &#147;A-&#148; (or the &#147;A.M. Best condition&#148;). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On
July&nbsp;7, 2015, EXOR announced revised terms for the EXOR Offer (the &#147;Revised EXOR Offer&#148;), including certain consideration being offered to the PartnerRe preferred shares. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">During the period following the announcement of the Revised EXOR Offer and until the execution of the fifth amendment, the parties engaged in
detailed discussions with each other and with their respective legal and financial advisors to assess the Revised EXOR Offer and understand the full range of possible responses. The subject matter of these discussions was broad, covering, among
other items, increasing the amount of the special dividend payable to the PartnerRe common shareholders from the previously announced $11.50 and, with respect to the PartnerRe preferred shares, among other things, raising their respective dividend
rate and extending the period following closing during which the preferred shares would not be redeemed by the amalgamated company (or the &#147;call period&#148;). Tax advisors of both companies also engaged in discussions with their counterparts.
Messrs. Montupet and Benchimol also held several telephonic discussions regarding the Revised EXOR Offer and its implications for the amalgamation, meeting in person in New York on July&nbsp;9, 2015. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On the morning of July&nbsp;10, 2015, the AXIS board of directors participated in a conference call to discuss the Revised EXOR Offer, as well
as AXIS&#146; earnings for the second quarter of 2015, and to receive a presentation from Goldman Sachs. At the conclusion of the meetings, the AXIS board of directors elected to postpone the date of the AXIS special general meeting to
August&nbsp;7, 2015. Later the same morning, AXIS and PartnerRe issued a joint press release announcing they were evaluating enhanced terms to the amalgamation and announcing their respective special general meetings had been postponed until
August&nbsp;7, 2015. Also on July&nbsp;10, representatives of Davis Polk sent a draft amendment to the amalgamation agreement (the &#147;draft fifth amendment agreement&#148;) to representatives of Simpson Thacher. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On July&nbsp;13, 2015, AXIS and PartnerRe pre-announced their respective earnings for the second quarter of 2015. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On the afternoon of July&nbsp;14, 2015, the AXIS board of directors participated in a conference call to discuss AXIS&#146; proposed response
to the Revised EXOR Offer. During the course of their discussions, the AXIS board of directors reexamined AXIS&#146; reasons for entering into the amalgamation, the key financial assumptions and projections underlying the amalgamation, the effects
that a range of revised special dividends to the PartnerRe common shareholders would have on the financial performance and financial statements of the amalgamated company, the possible tax consequences associated with enhancing the terms of the

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On July&nbsp;15, 2015, the AXIS board of directors met telephonically with members of AXIS management and representatives of Goldman Sachs and
Simpson Thacher also in attendance. Prior to the meeting, members of the AXIS board of directors had received a draft of the fifth amendment agreement and a set of meeting materials, prepared by AXIS management and AXIS&#146; financial and legal
advisors, which described and evaluated the proposed revisions to the financial and other material terms of the amalgamation. Members of AXIS management discussed developments since the last board meeting, the draft fifth amendment agreement, and
the effect of the proposed changes in the terms and conditions of the amalgamation on the attractiveness of the amalgamation, and responded to questions from the directors with respect thereto. Representatives of Goldman Sachs reviewed its financial
analyses and answered questions relating thereto from the meeting participants. Simpson Thacher addressed and responded to questions from the directors regarding the terms of the draft fifth amendment agreement. A representative of Goldman Sachs
then delivered to the AXIS board of directors its oral opinion, which was confirmed by delivery of a written opinion dated July&nbsp;15, 2015, as of that date and based upon and subject to the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters
considered and limitations stated therein, and taking into account the revised special dividend, the AXIS exchange ratio pursuant to the amalgamation agreement was fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders (other than PartnerRe and its
affiliates) of AXIS common shares. The full text of the written opinion of Goldman Sachs is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2, is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety, and is further described in the section titled <I>&#147;Update to the
Opinion of AXIS&#146; Financial Advisor.</I>&#148; Following a discussion of the changes to the terms of the amalgamation, which included the factors described under <I>&#147;Update to AXIS&#146; Reasons for the Amalgamation and Recommendation of
AXIS&#146; Board of Directors&#148;</I> below, the AXIS board of directors unanimously voted to approve as in the best interests of AXIS the draft fifth amendment agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and authorized management of AXIS
to take action designed to accomplish the transactions contemplated thereby. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Later that day, the draft fifth amendment agreement was
executed and, on the morning of July&nbsp;16, 2015, AXIS and PartnerRe issued the following joint press release reaffirming their commitment to the amalgamation, their recommendation that their respective shareholders vote to adopt the amalgamation
agreement (as amended) and the amalgamation, and announcing the changes to the terms of the amalgamation contained in the fifth amendment. </P>

Bermuda&#151;July&nbsp;16, 2015&#151;AXIS Capital Holdings Limited (&#147;AXIS Capital&#148;) (NYSE:AXS) and PartnerRe Ltd. (NYSE:PRE) (together, &#147;the Companies&#148;) today announced enhanced merger terms that increase to $17.50 per common
share the one-time, special cash dividend payable to each holder of record of PartnerRe common shares immediately prior to the closing of the amalgamation between PartnerRe and AXIS Capital. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, PartnerRe and AXIS Capital have agreed to match the terms contemplated by EXOR&#146;s proposed exchange offer for PartnerRe
preferred shares. However, after consultations with their advisors, PartnerRe and AXIS Capital believe that there is a material risk that EXOR&#146;s proposed exchange offer for PartnerRe preferred shares could be viewed as a &#147;listed
transaction&#148; under applicable IRS rules, which would subject preferred shareholders (and possibly common shareholders) to an onerous annual reporting and penalty regime applicable to prohibited tax shelter transactions under U.S. income tax
laws, as described in further detail below. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If PartnerRe and AXIS Capital are successful in obtaining a private letter ruling from the

to the applicable existing PartnerRe preferred shares. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Further highlighting their commitment to the transaction, PartnerRe and AXIS
Capital have also agreed that each party&#146;s obligation to close the amalgamation is no longer conditioned on the absence of a three notch rating downgrade from A.M. Best. By removing this rating downgrade closing condition, PartnerRe and AXIS
Capital have provided even more certainty to the successful consummation of the transaction. Having received all of the competition-related approvals and substantially all of the non-U.S. regulatory approvals, the amalgamation remains on track to
close in the third quarter of 2015, subject to approvals by the shareholders of both companies, remaining regulatory clearances and customary closing conditions. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">PartnerRe Chairman Jean-Paul Montupet stated, &#147;We are very pleased to agree to enhanced terms with AXIS Capital so that shareholders can
realize the value of the combination. This amalgamation will immediately enhance our strategic positioning and financial strength and we will have tremendous resources to build upon our proven track record of stability and success. As we approach
the August&nbsp;7th meeting date for shareholders to approve the amalgamation, we are confident that they will recognize the unique potential of this transformative combination. In addition to the cash special dividend, shareholders will benefit
from owning a significant interest in a world-class specialty insurance and reinsurance franchise.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">AXIS Capital CEO Albert A.
Benchimol stated, &#147;The strategic and financial benefits of the merger agreement between AXIS Capital and PartnerRe are compelling, and we are confident that it will deliver superior value both to our shareholders and to our clients and
distribution partners.&nbsp;The combination represents a unique opportunity to create a financial powerhouse in the industry with a strong franchise, robust earnings power, and double-digit ROE that is well-positioned to achieve superior and stable
value creation across both secular and cyclical market changes.&nbsp;The combined company will have the scale, the product reach and the service capabilities to add substantial value and deepen our relationships with clients and distribution
partners.&nbsp;At the end of the day, the merger creates opportunities that neither company could really achieve on its own in the near-term&#151;including expense synergies in excess of $200 million, significant capital efficiencies, and
incremental growth opportunities.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Boards of Directors of both companies unanimously, after consultation with their outside
legal counsel and financial advisors, approved the amendment giving effect to the enhanced amalgamation terms and determined that the terms of the amalgamation agreement, as amended, are advisable and fair to, and in the best interests of, PartnerRe
and AXIS Capital, respectively. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The amalgamation is accretive to operating earnings and ROE in year one, achieving double-digit EPS
accretion and a double-digit ROE by 2017. A portion of the funds allocated to previously announced share repurchases will be used to fund the increase in the special dividend. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The PartnerRe and AXIS Capital Boards of Directors continue to urge their holders of both common and preferred shares to promptly use their
white proxy card to vote FOR the Amalgamation Agreement at the Shareholder Meetings on August&nbsp;7, 2015. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Additional Information
Related to PartnerRe Preferred Shares </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">After careful analysis, PartnerRe and AXIS Capital believe the preferred shares proposed to be
issued in the EXOR exchange offer could be characterized as &#147;fast-pay stock&#148; under U.S. tax law. If the preferred shares are characterized as &#147;fast-pay stock,&#148; such a characterization would have serious negative consequences for

the effect that the issuance of preferred shares with terms contemplated by EXOR&#146;s proposed exchange offer would not result in a &#147;listed transaction&#148; or otherwise expose holders of the amalgamated company shares to tax shelter

through 2020 assuming 100% of estimated net income is returned to shareholders, per the Forecasts, using a discount rate of 5.96%, reflecting an estimate of AXIS&#146; cost of equity, and applying mid-year discounting. Goldman Sachs then calculated
an illustrative terminal value for AXIS by applying a multiple of 0.98x to AXIS&#146; projected book value as of December&nbsp;31, 2020 and calculated an indication of the present value of such illustrative terminal value using a discount rate of
5.96%. In addition, Goldman Sachs calculated an indication of the present value of cash flows, prior to payment of the revised special dividend, of PartnerRe for the second through fourth quarters of 2015 and the years 2016 through 2020 assuming
100% of estimated net income is returned to shareholders, per the Forecasts, using a discount rate of 6.53%, reflecting an estimate of PartnerRe&#146;s cost of equity, and applying mid-year discounting. Goldman Sachs then calculated an illustrative
terminal value for PartnerRe by applying a multiple of 0.90x to PartnerRe&#146;s projected book value as of December&nbsp;31, 2020 and calculated an indication of the present value of such illustrative terminal value using a discount rate of 6.53%.

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Goldman Sachs performed illustrative pro forma analyses of the potential financial impact of the amalgamation using the Net Synergies and the
Forecasts. Goldman Sachs assumed a 16.0% global pro-forma tax rate for net income adjustments as per AXIS management (with the exception of various components that comprise incremental pre-tax income from insurance, life and A&amp;H, and third party
capital, for which tax rates of between 0% and 17.5% were applied, as per AXIS management), dis-synergies of $40 million in 2016 and $0 in 2017 and onward as per AXIS management and used purchase accounting assumptions and intangible amortization as
discussed in &#147;<I>Notes To Preliminary Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements</I>&#148; in Amendment No.&nbsp;1 to the Form S-4 filed by AXIS and PartnerRe on June&nbsp;1, 2015 as per AXIS management (together, the
&#147;Assumptions&#148;). For each of the estimated years 2015 through 2017, Goldman Sachs compared the projected earnings per AXIS common share, on a stand-alone basis, to the projected earnings per AXIS common share, on a pro forma basis, taking
into account Net Synergies and the Assumptions. For the estimated year 2016, Goldman Sachs also compared the projected earnings per AXIS common share, on a stand-alone basis, to the projected earnings per AXIS common share, on a pro forma basis,
using fully phased-in Net Synergies numbers and taking into account the Assumptions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Goldman Sachs also compared the projected book value
per AXIS common share and tangible book value per AXIS common share, respectively, on a stand-alone basis, to the projected book value per AXIS common share and tangible book value per AXIS common share, respectively, on a pro forma basis, taking
into account Net Synergies and the Assumptions, in each case, as of the assumed closing date, December&nbsp;31, 2015,&nbsp;December&nbsp;31, 2016 and December&nbsp;31, 2017. In addition, Goldman Sachs compared the projected return on each of equity
and tangible equity per AXIS common share, on a stand-alone basis, to the projected return on each of equity and tangible equity, respectively, per AXIS common share, on a pro forma basis, taking into account Net Synergies and the Assumptions, for
the fiscal years 2015, 2016 and 2017. Goldman Sachs further compared the projected total debt including preferred shares divided by the capital of AXIS, on a stand-alone basis, to the projected total debt including preferred shares divided by the
capital of AXIS, on a pro forma basis, taking into account the Net Synergies and the Assumptions, as of December&nbsp;31, 2015 and December&nbsp;31, 2017. In each of the above scenarios, the market price for AXIS common shares was as of
July&nbsp;14, 2015 and the assumed closing date was September&nbsp;30, 2015. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Goldman Sachs performed each of the above analyses taking

Selecting portions of the analyses or of the summary set forth above, without considering the analyses as a whole, could create an incomplete view of the processes underlying Goldman Sachs&#146; opinion. In arriving at its fairness determination,
Goldman Sachs considered the results of all of its analyses and did not attribute any particular weight to any factor or analysis considered by it. Rather, Goldman Sachs made its determination as to fairness on the basis of its experience and
professional judgment after considering the results of all of its analyses. No company or transaction used in the above analyses as a comparison is directly comparable to AXIS, PartnerRe, PartnerRe AXIS Capital Limited or the amalgamation. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Goldman Sachs prepared these analyses for purposes of Goldman Sachs&#146; providing its opinion
to the AXIS board of directors as to the fairness from a financial point of view, as of July&nbsp;15, 2015, of the AXIS exchange ratio pursuant to the amalgamation agreement to the holders (other than PartnerRe and its affiliates) of AXIS common
shares. These analyses do not purport to be appraisals nor do they necessarily reflect the prices at which businesses or securities actually may be sold. Analyses based upon forecasts of future results are not necessarily indicative of actual future
results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by these analyses. Because these analyses are inherently subject to uncertainty, being based upon numerous factors or events beyond the control of the parties or their
respective advisors, none of AXIS, PartnerRe, Goldman Sachs or any other person assumes responsibility if future results are materially different from those forecast. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The AXIS exchange ratio was determined through arm&#146;s-length negotiations between AXIS and PartnerRe and was approved by the AXIS board of
directors. Goldman Sachs provided advice to the AXIS board of directors during these negotiations. Goldman Sachs did not, however, recommend any specific exchange ratio to AXIS or the AXIS board of directors or that any specific exchange ratio
constituted the only appropriate exchange ratio for the amalgamation. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As described above, Goldman Sachs&#146; opinion to the AXIS board
of directors was one of many factors taken into consideration by the AXIS board of directors in making its determination to approve the amalgamation agreement. The foregoing summary does not purport to be a complete description of the analyses
performed by Goldman Sachs in connection with its fairness opinion and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the written opinion of Goldman Sachs attached as Exhibit 99.2. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Goldman Sachs and its affiliates are engaged in advisory, underwriting and financing, principal investing, sales and trading, research,
investment management and other financial and non-financial activities and services for various persons and entities. Goldman Sachs and its affiliates and employees, and funds or other entities they manage or in which they invest or have other
economic interests or with which they co-invest, may at any time purchase, sell, hold or vote long or short positions and investments in securities, derivatives, loans, commodities, currencies, credit default swaps and other financial instruments of
AXIS, PartnerRe, any of their respective affiliates and third parties, or any currency or commodity that may be involved in the amalgamation. Goldman Sachs acted as financial advisor to AXIS in connection with, and participated in certain of the
negotiations leading to, the amalgamation. During the two-year period ending July&nbsp;15, 2015, Goldman Sachs has not provided financial advisory and/or underwriting services to either AXIS or PartnerRe or either of their respective affiliates for
which its Investment Banking Division has received compensation. Goldman Sachs may in the future provide financial advisory and/or underwriting services to AXIS, PartnerRe and PartnerRe AXIS Capital Limited and their respective affiliates for which
its Investment Banking Division may receive compensation. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The AXIS board of directors selected Goldman Sachs as its financial advisor
because it is an internationally recognized investment banking firm that has substantial experience in transactions similar to the amalgamation. Pursuant to a letter agreement dated January&nbsp;24, 2015, AXIS engaged Goldman Sachs to act as its
financial advisor in connection with the proposed amalgamation. Pursuant to the terms of this engagement letter, AXIS has agreed to pay Goldman Sachs a transaction fee of $19.5 million, all of which is payable upon consummation of the amalgamation.
In addition, AXIS has agreed to reimburse Goldman Sachs for its expenses, including attorneys&#146; fees and disbursements, and to indemnify Goldman Sachs and related persons against various liabilities, including certain liabilities under the
federal securities laws. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Each of AXIS and PartnerRe customarily pays a quarterly cash dividend on their respective common shares and their respective preferred shares.
Under the terms of the amalgamation agreement, prior to the effective time of the amalgamation, AXIS and PartnerRe are each permitted to declare and pay ordinary course quarterly cash dividends on their respective common shares and their respective
preferred shares with record and payment dates consistent with past practice.&nbsp;During this period, AXIS may continue to pay, but not increase its current quarterly cash dividend on its common shares of $0.29, and PartnerRe is permitted to
increase its quarterly cash dividends on its common shares to an amount not to exceed $0.70 per share per quarter. During the fiscal quarter in which the closing of the amalgamation occurs, AXIS and PartnerRe may pay a pro rata dividend on their
respective common shares for the period from the first day of such quarter until the day immediately preceding the closing date of the amalgamation. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under the terms of the amalgamation agreement, at the effective time, each holder of record of a PartnerRe common share issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the effective time shall be entitled to receive the revised special dividend. The declaration of the revised special dividend is contingent upon the submission of the formal application to the Registrar of Companies for the
amalgamation to be registered with payment conditional on, and such payment date following, the consummation of the amalgamation by the issuance of the certificate of amalgamation by the Registrar of Companies. For the avoidance of doubt, the
revised special dividend will not have been effectively declared and, therefore, will not be payable if the formal application to register the amalgamation is not submitted to the Registrar of Companies. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The PartnerRe revised special dividend is part of an acceleration of the previously announced intention of the amalgamated company to return
$750 million of capital to its shareholders immediately after the closing of the amalgamation, and an additional approximately $2.4 billion of capital which the amalgamated company expects to be returned to the common shareholders of the amalgamated
company through 2017 through a combination of share repurchases and dividends. These statements with respect to future returns of capital are only statements of current intention and there may be strategic or business reasons why the amalgamated
company may ultimately decide to reduce the amount of such capital returns or to not make any such returns of capital at all. There are regulatory and legal restrictions that apply to the return of capital to shareholders by the amalgamated company.
Further, as a result of a change in the financial condition or operations of, or the regulatory requirements applicable to the amalgamated company or any of its respective subsidiaries, the amalgamated company may not be able to make the capital
returns in the amounts intended or at all. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the amalgamated company will be able to make these returns of capital. </P>

our financial results from time to time; (2)&nbsp;the inherent uncertainties in our reserving process, particularly as regards to large catastrophic events and longer tail casualty lines; (3)&nbsp;the frequency and severity of catastrophic and other
events which we cover could exceed our estimates and cause losses greater than we expect; (4)&nbsp;the risk of the lowering or loss of any of the financial strength, claims paying or enterprise wide risk management ratings of PartnerRe, AXIS or any
of their respective subsidiaries, or changes in the policies or practices of the rating agencies; (5)&nbsp;risks associated with appropriately modeling, pricing for, and contractually addressing new or potential factors in loss emergence;
(6)&nbsp;the risk we might be bound to policyholder obligations beyond our underwriting intent, or unable to enforce our own intent in respect of retrocessional arrangements, including in each case due to emerging claims and coverage issues;

tax developments, including potential changes to the taxation of inter-company or related party transactions; (11)&nbsp;risks relating to adverse legislative developments that could reduce the size of the private markets we serve, or impede their
future growth, including proposals to shift U.S. catastrophe risks to federal mechanisms; similar proposals at the state level in the U.S. or failing to implement reforms to reduce such coverage; and the risk that new legislation will be enacted in
the international markets we serve which might reduce market opportunities in the private sector, weaken our customers or otherwise adversely impact us, which risks could also be retrospective and could impact business that has already been written
and priced; (12)&nbsp;risks relating to the inability, or delay, in the claims paying ability of private market participants, particularly following large catastrophic events, for example hurricanes in the United States, cyclones in Europe,
earthquakes in California or Japan, which could weaken or destabilize a particular geographic market and give rise to an unpredictable range of impacts which might be adverse to us, perhaps materially so; (13)&nbsp;risks associated with our

investment risks; (14)&nbsp;risks associated with implementing our business strategies and initiatives; (15)&nbsp;risks associated with potential for loss of services of any one of our key senior officers, and the risk that we fail to attract or
retain the executives and employees necessary to manage our business; (16)&nbsp;changes in economic conditions, including interest rate, currency, equity and credit conditions which could affect our investment portfolio or declines in our investment
returns for other reasons which could reduce our profitability and hinder our ability to pay claims promptly in accordance with our strategy; (17)&nbsp;risks associated with highly subjective judgments, such as valuing our more illiquid assets, and
determining the impairments taken on our investments, all of which impact our reported financial position and operating results; (18)&nbsp;risks associated with inflation, which could cause loss costs to increase, and impact the performance of our
investment portfolio, thereby adversely impacting our financial position or operating results; (19)&nbsp;operational risks, including system or human failures or cyber attacks, which could result in our incurring material losses; (20)&nbsp;risks
that we may require additional capital in the future, which may not be available or may be available only on unfavorable terms; (21)&nbsp;risks relating to our potential failure to comply with covenants in our debt agreements, which failure could
provide our lenders the right to accelerate our debt which would adversely impact us; (22)&nbsp;the risk of potential challenges to the claim of exemption from insurance regulation of PartnerRe, AXIS and certain of their respective subsidiaries in
certain jurisdictions under certain current laws and the risk of increased global regulation of the insurance and reinsurance industry; (23)&nbsp;risks relating to the inability of our operating subsidiaries to declare and pay dividends, which could
cause us to be unable to pay dividends to our shareholders or to repay our indebtedness; (24)&nbsp;the risk that there could be regulatory or legislative changes adversely impacting PartnerRe or AXIS, each as a Bermuda-based company, relative to our
competitors, or actions taken by multinational organizations having such an impact; (25)&nbsp;risks relating to operating in a highly competitive environment, which we expect to continue to increase over time from new competition from traditional
