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. The words "will", "believe," "intend," "expect," "anticipate," "project," "estimate," "predict," “plan,” “envision,” “imply,” “seek,” “future” and similar expressions are also intended to identify forward-looking statements.

These statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by White Mountains in light of its experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors believed to be appropriate in the circumstances. However, whether actual results and developments will conform to its expectations and predictions is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations, including: (i) the risk that the acquisition of OneBeacon Insurance Group, Ltd. (“OneBeacon”) by Intact Financial Corporation (the “Transaction”) may not be completed on the currently contemplated timeline; (ii) the possibility that any or all of the various conditions to the consummation of the Transaction may not be satisfied or waived, including the failure to receive any required regulatory approvals from any applicable governmental entities (or any conditions, limitations or restrictions placed on such approvals); (iii) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement dated May 2, 2017, among OneBeacon, Intact Financial Corporation and the other parties thereto (the “Merger Agreement”), including in circumstances which would require OneBeacon to pay a termination fee or other expenses; (iv) the risks related to diverting management’s attention from White Mountains’s or OneBeacon’s ongoing business operations and other risks related to the announcement or pendency of the Transaction, including on White Mountains’s or OneBeacon’s ability to retain and hire key personnel, their ability to maintain relationships with customers, policyholders, brokers, service providers and others with whom they do business and their operating results and business generally; (v) the risk that shareholder litigation in connection with the Transactions may result in significant costs of defense, indemnification and liability; (vi) the risks that are described from time to time in White Mountains's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission , including but not limited to White Mountains's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 filed February 27, 2017 ;(vii) claims arising from catastrophic events, such as hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, fires, terrorist attacks or severe winter weather; (viii) the continued availability of capital and financing; (ix) general economic, market or business conditions; (x) business opportunities (or lack thereof) that may be presented and pursued; (xi) competitive forces, including the conduct of other property and casualty insurers and reinsurers; (xii) changes in domestic or foreign laws or regulations, or their interpretation, applicable to White Mountains, its competitors or its customers; (xiii) an economic downturn or other economic conditions adversely affecting White Mountains’s financial position; (xiv) recorded loss reserves subsequently proving to have been inadequate; (xv) actions taken by ratings agencies from time to time, such as financial strength or credit ratings downgrades or placing ratings on negative watch; and (xvi) other factors, most of which are beyond White Mountains's control. Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this presentation are qualified by these cautionary statements, and there can be no assurance that the actual results or developments anticipated by White Mountains will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects on, White Mountains or its business or operations. White Mountains assumes no obligation to publicly update any such forward- looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

2 Non-GAAP Financial Measures Figures designated as “pro forma” or “PF” are adjusted as if the OneBeacon transaction occurred on 3/31/17. Non-GAAP Financial Measures Management believes the non-GAAP measures included in this presentation to be useful in evaluating the Company’s financial position and performance. The following non-GAAP financial measures are presented: (i) Adjusted Book Value Per Share (ABVPS); (ii) Adjusted Book Value; (iii) ABVPS Denominator, and (iv) Growth in ABVPS. 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.

Where Do We Go From Here?

14 Challenging Market Environment Persists  Soft insurance markets  Pressure on accident year pricing / reserve releases slowing to a trickle  Carriers sowing the seeds for future distress, but will take years to blossom  Over-abundant supply of (low hurdle-rate) capital / no obvious catalyst for near-term market turn  Low interest rates / elevated equity markets / muted investment outlook  Elevated asset prices  On most deals we see, we would rather be a seller than a buyer  Middle innings on “insuretech” phenomenon; getting frothy  Implications for WTM:  We have been a net seller of insurance operating assets for a reason!  Conditions have not magically reversed now that we have money in our pocket

15 What to Expect from Us?  We expect to shrink, likely significantly, before we grow again  We have been here before (following 1991 sale of Fireman’s Fund)  Reflects willingness to “walk the walk” on capital rotation and shareholder value creation  We envision resizing as a $2.0 - $2.5B company  ~$1.0B deployed to current operating assets (HG Global/BAM & WMC)  ~$1.0 - $1.5B “war chest” for deployment into new operating assets  This implies distributing $1.5 – $2.0B of currently undeployed capital  Plan to pursue in a flexible and disciplined manner over the medium term  Will aim to create value for continuing shareholders  We are reducing our expense base and shifting our human capital accordingly

16 Capital Redeployment Approach  Fundamental philosophy and approach is unchanged  Will remain focused on economics and shareholder value creation (not accounting or empire building)  Will stick to our knitting: primarily insurance, broader financial services, and adjacent sectors  Will remain value-oriented, opportunistic and highly flexible  Focus will be on “chunkier deployments”  Bogey of $200 million of annual deployments; will be lumpy, not smooth  Targeting deals of $50 million and higher, preferably much higher  Preference for majority stakes in operating businesses that we understand and can enhance  Working through traditional channels and also developing “special situations”  Core belief that deals will come, but patience is required  Strong deal team with relevant expertise  Circumstances will naturally change over time, and opportunities will emerge (and we will be there)  Expect run rate returns to increase as we normalize our undeployed capital position

Update on Current Businesses

18  Launched into a very challenging environment  Low interest rates and compressed credit spreads  Aggressive price competition and low capture rates at the outset  Insured penetration has improved somewhat; substantial room for further improvement  Given the environment, BAM’s execution has been strong  Captured market share of +/- 50%. Broad market acceptance. Strong trading value  Pristine balance sheet. High-quality, risk-controlled portfolio. No legacy exposures. No Puerto Rico, structured finance  Superior model for the long term  Financial results will emerge over time  On a GAAP basis, WTM expects to earn 4% per year, roughly equal to the coupon on the surplus notes, in the near term  GAAP earnings are delayed/masked because of (i) UPR and (ii) member surplus contributions (straight to balance sheet)  The system is generating positive cashflow today, which is accreting claims paying resources and cash  It will take time for this cash to flow through the system and up and out to the private investors  Our fundamental strategy is to “hold” and to mature the asset HG Global / BAM - Four Years In

21  Pivot from “traditional” insurance balance sheet transactions in late 2012  Frustrated by the M&A market in core sector; deals not available at attractive prices  Sought alternative ways to leverage our unique capabilities; typically looking for an “insurance angle”  Different type of investment / financial profile  Generally cash flow (or path to cash flow) businesses, rather than book value businesses  Lower required capital; higher risk / higher return propositions  The WMC portfolio has performed well to-date  4 exits generating 1.3x multiple of invested capital and $230 million of p/t proceeds  Excited about the prospects of a number of the remaining WMC businesses  But the WMC portfolio does not move the needle today  Only $150 million of deployed capital currently  Smaller, option-like deals make less sense today, given undeployed capital levels White Mountains Capital

25 Adjusted Book Value, ABVPS Denominator and Adjusted Book Value Per Share Adjusted Book Value, ABVPS Denominator and Adjusted Book Value Per Share Adjusted Book Value is a non-GAAP financial measure that is derived by excluding from GAAP shareholders' equity the equity in unrealized gains from Symetra's fixed maturity portfolio. ABVPS Denominator excludes from GAAP common shares outstanding unearned shares of of restricted stock, the compensation cost of which, at the date of calculation, has yet to be amortized. Adjusted Book Value Per Share (ABVPS) is the result of dividing Adjusted Book Value by ABVPS Denominator.
