Safe Harbor for Forward-Looking Statements

Some of the statements in Exhibit 99.1 include forward-looking statements which reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Such statements may include forward-looking statements both with respect to the Company in general and the insurance and reinsurance sectors specifically, both as to underwriting and investment matters. Statements that include the words “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “do not believe,” “project,” “anticipate,” “seek,” “will,” “likely,” “estimate,” “may,” “continue,” “guidance,” “outlook,” “trends,” “future,” “could,” “target,” and similar statements of a future or forward-looking nature identify forward-looking statements in Exhibit 99.1 for purposes of the U.S. federal securities laws or otherwise. We intend these forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

All forward-looking statements address matters that involve risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, there are or may be important factors that could cause actual results to differ from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. See slide 2 of the attached presentation on Exhibit 99.1 for such factors as well as our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made or as otherwise indicated, and we undertake no obligation publicly to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.
