Forward Looking Statements
| Investor Presentation 2
This presentation contains “forward-looking statements” which are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The forward-looking statements are based on current
expectations and beliefs of Maiden Holdings, Ltd. (the “Company”) concerning future developments and their
potential effects on the Company. There can be no assurance that actual developments will be those anticipated
by the Company. Actual results may differ materially from those projected as a result of significant risks and
uncertainties, including non-receipt of expected payments, changes in interest rates, effect of the performance of
financial markets on investment income and fair values of investments, developments of claims and the effect on
loss reserves, decreases in existing and new client projected premiums, accuracy in projecting loss reserves, the
impact of competition and pricing environments, changes in the demand for the Company’s products, the effect of
general economic conditions, adverse state and federal legislation, regulations and regulatory investigations into
industry practices, developments relating to existing agreements, heightened competition, changes in pricing
environments and changes in asset valuations. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any
forward-looking statements, except as may be required by law. Additional information about these risks and
uncertainties, as well as others that may cause actual results to differ materially from those projected is contained
in Item 1A. Risk Factors in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In presenting the Company’s results, management has included and discussed in this presentation certain non
generally accepted accounting principles (“non-GAAP”) financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G as
promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Management believes that these non-GAAP
measures, which may be defined differently by other companies, better explain the company’s results of
operations in a manner that allows for a more complete understanding of the underlying trends in the Company’s
business. However, these measures should not be viewed as a substitute for those determined in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). See the appendix of this presentation for a
reconciliation of non-GAAP measures used in this presentation to their most directly comparable
GAAP measures.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
| Investor Presentation 23
In presenting the Company’s results, management has included and discussed in this presentation certain non generally accepted accounting principles
(“non-GAAP”) financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G as promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Management
believes that these non-GAAP measures, which may be defined differently by other companies, better explain the company’s results of operations in a
manner that allows for a more complete understanding of the underlying trends in the Company’s business. However, these measures should not be
viewed as a substitute for those determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S.GAAP”).
Operating Earnings and Operating Earnings per Common Share: In addition to presenting net income determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we
believe that showing operating earnings enables investors, analysts, rating agencies and other users of our financial information to more easily analyze
our results of operations in a manner similar to how management analyzes our underlying business performance. Operating earnings should not be
viewed as a substitute for U.S. GAAP net income. Operating earnings are an internal performance measure used in the management of our operations
and represents operating results excluding, as applicable on a recurring basis, net realized and unrealized gains or losses on investment, foreign
exchange and other gains or losses, amortization of intangible assets and non-cash deferred tax expenses. We exclude net realized and unrealized gains
or losses on investment and foreign exchange and other gains or losses as we believe that both are heavily influenced in part by market opportunities and
other factors. We do not believe amortization of intangible assets are representative of our ongoing business. We believe all of these amounts are largely
independent of our business and underwriting process and including them distorts the analysis of trends in our operations. We also exclude certain non-
recurring expenditures that are material to understanding our results of operations. During the third quarter of 2014 and 2015, we exclude impairment
losses. Beginning in the second quarter of 2014, we exclude our divested E&S business as it has been in run-off for over one year following the sale to
Brit effective May 1, 2013. Similarly, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2014, we exclude results from NGHC as this business segment has been in run-off
for one year following the mutual cancellation on a run-off basis of our contract. Furthermore, in Q1 of 2014 and Q2 2011, we exclude the accelerated
amortization of the Junior Subordinated Debt discount and the write off of the associated issuance costs. In Q2 2016, we also excluded the write off of the
amortized issuance cost related to the 8.2% Senior Notes redeemed in June 2016. In Q1 2014 and Q4 2013, we also exclude the interest expense
incurred on our 2013 Senior Notes prior to the redemption of the outstanding Junior Subordinated Debt given the one time nature of the additional funding
cost. For 2011 we exclude transaction expenses related to the IIS Acquisition as these are non-recurring.
Operating Return on Average Common Equity ("Operating ROACE"): Management uses operating return on average common shareholders' equity as a
measure of profitability that focuses on the return to Maiden common shareholders. It is calculated using operating earnings available to common
shareholders (as defined above) divided by average Maiden common shareholders' equity. Average common shareholders’ equity for the twelve months
ended December 31, 2016 is adjusted for the period the Mandatory Convertible Preference Shares - Series B are outstanding (prior to mandatory
conversion date of September 15, 2016). Management has set as a target a long-term average of 15% Operating ROACE, which management believes
provides an attractive return to shareholders for the risk assumed from our business.

GAAP measures.
