| 2 Forward-Looking Statements This presentation contains, and management may make, certain statements that are not historical facts but that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included or referenced in this presentation which address activities, events or developments which White Mountains expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Please see our discussion on page 90 of our 2011 report on Form 10-K and on page 99 of OneBeacon’s 2011 report on Form 10-K for a more detailed discussion of the types of expressions that may identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond our control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied or projected by, the forward-looking information and statements. In connection with the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, we provide the following cautionary remarks regarding important risks and uncertainties which, among others, could cause our actual results to differ materially from our expectations, including those reflected in our forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: (i) the risks associated with Item 1A of the Company’s and OneBeacon’s 2011 reports on Form 10-K and the Company’s March 31, 2012 Form 10-Q; (ii) claims arising out of catastrophic events, such as hurricanes, earthquakes, floods or terrorist attacks; (iii) the continued availability of capital and financing; (iv) general economic, market or business conditions; (v) business opportunities (or lack thereof) that may be presented to us and pursued; (vi) competitive forces, including the conduct of other property and casualty insurers and reinsurers; (vii) changes in domestic or foreign laws or regulations, or their interpretation, applicable to us, our competitors or our clients; (viii) an economic downturn or other economic conditions adversely affecting our financial position; (ix) recorded loss reserves subsequently proving to have been inadequate; (x) actions taken by rating agencies from time to time, such as financial strength or credit ratings downgrades or placing ratings on negative watch; and (xi) other factors, most of which are beyond our control. Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this presentation are qualified by these cautionary remarks, and the results or developments that we anticipate may not be realized or, even if substantially realized, there is no assurance that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects on, us or our business or operations. Our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this presentation and we assume no obligation to update publicly any such forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Non-GAAP Financial Measures Within this presentation, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures which are identified with a “NGM” designation. Please see the appendix at the end of the presentation for an explanation of each such non-GAAP financial measure and a reconciliation of the measure to its most closely comparable GAAP financial measure.

| 34 Wise Words Benjamin Graham “In the short run, the market is a voting machine, but in the long run it is a weighing machine.”

| 1 Appendix: Non-GAAP Financial Measures Adjusted book value and adjusted book value per share are non-GAAP measures that adjust White Mountains’ GAAP book value and GAAP book value per common share to exclude equity in net unrealized gains and losses from Symetra’s fixed maturity portfolio, net of applicable taxes. In addition, the number of common shares outstanding used in the calculation of adjusted book value per share is adjusted to exclude unearned shares of restricted stock the compensation cost of which, at the date of calculation, has yet to be amortized. Total portfolio return is a non-GAAP measure that adjusts White Mountains’ GAAP investment return to (i) include investment results of OneBeacon’s pension plan and the investment in Symetra (which, under GAAP, is accounted for as an investment in unconsolidated insurance affiliate), (ii) exclude the investment returns of reciprocal insurance exchanges, the impact of consolidation of certain limited partnerships consolidated under GAAP and the investment income resulting from interest credited on funds withheld by ceding companies, and (iii) reflect the impact of certain intra-portfolio reclassifications and the impact of time value weighting of capital flows when calculating investment returns. Equity exposure is a non-GAAP measure that adjusts White Mountains’ GAAP investment balances to (i) include the investments held in OneBeacon’s pension plan and the investment in Symetra (which, under GAAP, is accounted for as an investment in unconsolidated affiliate), (ii) exclude the impact of consolidation of certain limited partnerships consolidated under GAAP, and (iii) reflect the impact of certain intra-portfolio reclassifications and adjustments where management believes that alternative valuations are more accurate. Fixed income portfolio is a non-GAAP measure that adjusts White Mountains’ GAAP investment balances to (i) include investments held in OneBeacon’s pension plan, (ii) exclude the impact of consolidation of certain reciprocal insurance exchanges consolidated under GAAP and certain investments held as collateral at WM Life Re, and (iii) reflect the impact of unsettled investment trades and certain intra-portfolio reclassifications and adjustments where management believes that alternative valuations are more accurate. Adjusted book value of Symetra is a non-GAAP measure that adjusts Symetra’s GAAP common shareholders’ equity to exclude accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). AOCI, which is primarily composed of the net unrealized gains (losses) in Symetra’s fixed maturity portfolio, is a component of shareholders’ equity. As a life insurer, Symetra matches the duration of its fixed income investments to the duration of its insurance liabilities. As Symetra typically expects to hold its fixed maturities to maturity, Symetra does not expect to realize the unrealized gains (losses) that are included in the AOCI balance as of any particular date. Adjusted shareholders’ equity is a non-GAAP measure that adjusts White Mountains’ GAAP common shareholders’ equity to exclude White Mountains’ equity in net unrealized gains and losses from Symetra’s fixed maturity portfolio. Total adjusted capital is a non-GAAP measure that adjusts White Mountains’ GAAP total capital to include White Mountains’ noncontrolling interest in OneBeacon and to exclude White Mountains’ equity in net unrealized gains and losses from Symetra’s fixed maturity portfolio, net of applicable taxes. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.
