SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In October 2018, Hurricane Michael made landfall impacting the Gulf Coast and the southeastern U.S. The Company's preliminary pre-tax net loss estimate for this event is in the range of $100 million to $120 million. The impact of this event will be recognized by the Company in the three months ended December 31, 2018.

The Company's loss estimate is based on a ground-up assessment of losses from individual contracts and treaties exposed to the affected regions, including preliminary information from clients, brokers and loss adjusters. Industry insured loss estimates, market share analyses and catastrophe modeling analyses were also taken into account where appropriate.

Due to the nature of this event, including the complexity of loss assessment, factors contributing to the losses and the preliminary nature of the information available to prepare this estimate, the actual net ultimate amount of losses for this event may be materially different from this current estimate.
