The FCR includes financial and other information about the Company that is substantially similar to information included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2020, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 9, 2021 (the &#34;20-F&#34;).</font></div><div style="text-indent:36pt"><font><br></font></div><div style="text-indent:36pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:133%">The FCR, however, includes a subsequent event note on page 53, which was not included in the Form 20-F. This subsequent event note is copied below&#58;</font></div><div style="text-indent:36pt"><font><br></font></div><div style="padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:133%">&#34;Foreign Exchange movements due to currency mismatching. During the second quarter of 2021, the Company identified a control deficiency regarding incorrect treatment of foreign exchange gains and losses arising as a result of currency matching issues within Aspen U.K.&#8217;s underwriting premiums receivables in the period 2008-2012. The deficiency resulted in previous foreign exchange revaluation and translation amounts which should have been matched with underwriting premium receivable payments being carried over and were incorrectly included in Aspen U.K.&#8217;s underwriting premiums receivable, thereby overstating the related asset value. </font></div><div style="padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify"><font><br></font></div><div style="padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:139%">The Company, with the assistance of outside forensic accountants, has analyzed the expected impact of this deficiency on the accounts of both Aspen U.K. and Aspen Holdings and has concluded that the error would result in underwriting premiums receivable, retained earnings and accumulated other comprehensive income being revised downward by $89.7m, $2.1m and $87.6m respectively as at 31 December 2020. Net impact to Shareholder&#8217;s Equity at December 31, 2020 will be a reduction of $89.7m which reduces the 2020 Aspen Group Bermuda Solvency Capital Requirement Ratio from 243% to 237%. The Company has concluded that this error is immaterial to the prior period financial statements of Aspen Holdings. In accordance with US GAAP, we therefore will correct the error in the comparatives for 2020 and 2019 in the 2021 financial statements of Aspen Holdings to be included in the Company&#8217;s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ending December 31, 2021, by adjusting the prior period information and adding disclosure of the error.&#8221;</font></div><div style="padding-left:36pt"><font><br></font></div><div style="text-indent:36pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:139%">The Company has further concluded that this control deficiency will constitute a material weakness when management performs its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company&#8217;s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021. The Company therefore believes that its internal controls over financial reporting would, at that time, be assessed to be ineffective. Management has, however, developed a remediation plan to address this issue which it intends to implement by the end of Q4 2021.  There can be no assurances that intended remediation plan will be successful in remediating the material weakness or if successful, when such remediation will be completed.</font></div><div style="padding-left:36pt"><font><br></font></div><div style="text-indent:36pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:133%">A complete copy of the FCR is available at&#58;
