Investments The Company does not have any unfunded commitments or obligations. Financing In February 2015, TPRUSA issued $115.0 million of Notes due February 13, 2025. The Notes bear interest at 7.0% and interest is payable semi-annually on February 13 and August 13 of each year.

Letters of Credit See Note 13 for additional information related to the Company’s letter of credit facilities. Litigation From time to time in the normal course of business, the Company may be involved in formal and informal dispute resolution procedures, which may include arbitration or litigation, the outcomes of which determine the rights and obligations under the Company’s reinsurance contracts and other contractual agreements. In some disputes, the Company may seek to enforce its rights under an agreement or to collect funds owed to it. In other matters, the Company may resist attempts by others to collect funds or enforce allege d rights. The Company is not currently involved in any material formal or informal dispute resolution procedures. Debt Commitment Letter On August 6, 2020, SiriusPoint, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Sirius and Yoga Merger Sub Limited (“Merger Sub”), a Bermuda exempted company limited by shares and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into Sirius (the “Merger”), with Sirius continuing as the surviving company in the Merger, as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company is to be renamed SiriusPoint Ltd. (“SiriusPoint”) following the Merger. In connection with entering into the Merger Agreement, the Company entered into a commitment letter (the “Debt Commitment Letter”), dated as of August 6, 2020, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan”), pursuant to which JPMorgan committed to provide a senior unsecured bridge loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $125.0 million (the “Bridge Facility”) to finance the Merger. The Bridge Facility is subject to reduction at the Company’s option or with the proceeds of certain equity, debt or equity-linked securities issued by the Company or its subsidiaries, as more particularly set forth in the Term Sheet (as defined in the Debt Commitment Letter). The obligation of JPMorgan to provide the Bridge Facility is subject to a number of customary conditions, including execution and delivery of certain definitive documentation. The Company will pay certain fees and expenses in connection with the Bridge Facili ty. On September 25, 2020, the Company terminated the Debt Commitment Letter.

Equity Commitment Letter On August 6, 2020, the Company, Third Point Opportunities Master Fund Ltd. and Daniel S.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Series B Preference Shares holders have agreed that upon closing of the Merger, they will convert their existing Series B Preference Shares of Sirius into up to $260.0 million face value of newly-issued Series B Preference Shares of SiriusPoint (the “New Preference Shares”). The New Preference Shares will be perpetual in nature, carry an 8.00% annual cumulative cash dividend, and will be callable by SiriusPoint on each fifth anniversary of the closing of the Merger or upon certain other events. At the time of issuance upon the closing of the Merger, SiriusPoint will have the option to substitute up to $60.0 million in cash in lieu of an equal face amount of the New Preference Shares (or pay in cash the agreed New Preference Shares face amount of $260.0 million in full).

Revolving Credit Facility On November 2, 2020, the Company entered into a three-year, $300.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent. The Facility includes an option, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions including agreement of lenders representing greater than a majority of commitments, for the Company to request an extension by such lenders of the maturity date of the Facility by an additional 12 months. The Facility provides access to loans for working capital and general corporate purposes, and letters of credit to support obligations under insurance and reinsurance agreements, retrocessional agreements and for general corporate purposes. Loans and letters of credit under the Facility will become available, subject to customary conditions precedent, upon the consummation of the merger (the date such loans and letters of credit are first made available, the “Closing Date”). Prior to the Closing Date, the Facility is guaranteed solely by Third Point Re (USA) Holdings Inc. On and after the Closing Date, the Facility will be required to be guaranteed by Sirius International Group, Ltd., Sirius International Holdings Ltd., Sirius International Insurance Group, Ltd., and subject to customary exceptions certain other material subsidiaries of the Company. All borrowings under the Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the option of the Company, (i) adjusted LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.25%, or (ii) an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.25% to 1.25%, in each case with the applicable margin determined based upon the Company’s credit rating. The Facility is subject to an unused line fee on or after the Closing Date on the average daily undrawn commitments under the Facility, payable quarterly in arrears, of 0.20% to 0.40% per annum based upon the Company’s credit rating.
