Amendment and Restatement of Named Executive Officer’s Employment Agreements
On October 23, 2013, RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd. (the “Company”) entered into amended and restated employment agreements (each, a “Restated Employment Agreement”) with each member of our senior executive team, including each of our named executive officers (other than our Chief Executive Officer). The Restated Employment Agreements supersede and replace the current employment agreements, as amended and previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, of each of our named executive officers (each, a “Prior Employment Agreement”).
The primary purpose of the Restated Employment Agreements is to consolidate each executive’s existing employment agreement with all amendments thereto, and to conform certain aspects of the Prior Employment Agreements with those of the employment agreement of our Chief Executive Officer (as filed with Securities and Exchange Commission as Exhibit 10.1 to the Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 16, 2013).
The Restated Employment Agreements are in substantially the same form as the Prior Employment Agreements, taking into account all amendments thereto. The form of Restated Employment Agreement for each of our named executive officers (other than our Chief Executive Officer) is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto.
