For Information Purposes Only CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS 2 Certain statements and information in this presentation may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The words “believe,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “intend,” “foresee,” “guidance,” “potential,” “expect,” “should,” “will” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “goal,” “may,” “objective,” “predict,” “projection,” or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements (including those contained in certain visual depictions) in this presentation. These forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s current expectations and/or beliefs concerning future events. The Company has made every reasonable effort to ensure that the information, estimates, forecasts and assumptions on which these statements are based are current, reasonable and complete. However, these forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that may cause the Company’s actual performance to differ materially from that projected in such statements. Although it is not possible to identify all of these risks and factors, they include, among others, the following: (i) fluctuation in results of operations; (ii) more established competitors; (iii) losses exceeding reserves; (iv) downgrades or withdrawal of ratings by rating agencies; (v) dependence on key executives; (vi) dependence on letter of credit facilities that may not be available on commercially acceptable terms; (vii) potential inability to pay dividends; (viii) inability to service the Company’s indebtedness; (ix) limited cash flow and liquidity due to indebtedness; (x) unavailability of capital in the future; (xi) fluctuations in market price of the Company’s common shares; (xii) dependence on clients’ evaluations of risks associated with such clients’ insurance underwriting; (xiv) suspension or revocation of reinsurance licenses; (xiii) potentially being deemed an investment company under United States federal securities law; (xv) potential characterization of Third Point Re and/or Third Point Reinsurance Company Ltd. as a passive foreign investment company; (xvii) future strategic transactions such as acquisitions, dispositions, merger or joint ventures; (xvii) dependence on Third Point LLC to implement the Company’s investment strategy; (xviii) termination by Third Point LLC of the investment management agreements; (xx) risks associated with the Company’s investment strategy being greater than those faced by competitors; (xix) increased regulation or scrutiny of alternative investment advisers affecting the Company’s reputation; (xxi) the Company potentially becoming subject to United States federal income taxation; (xxii) the Company potentially becoming subject to United States withholding and information reporting requirements under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act provisions; (xxiii) changes in Bermuda or other law regulation that may have an adverse impact on the Company's operations; and (xxiv) other risks and factors listed under “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 and other periodic and current disclosures filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

For Information Purposes Only MARKET-LEADING INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT BY THIRD POINT LLC 21 • Third Point LLC owned and led by Daniel S. Loeb • 18.9% net annualized returns for Third Point Partners LP since inception in 19951 • 10.1% net annualized return on TPRE managed account since inception (Jan. 1, 2012) • Risk-adjusted returns driven by security selection and lower volatility Notes: For Third Point Partners L.P. after fees, expenses and incentive allocation; Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results; all investments involve risk including the loss of principal; The historical performance of Third Point Partners L.P. (i) for the years 2001 through December 31, 2015 reflects the total return after incentive allocation for each such year as included in the audited statement of financial condition of Third Point Partners L.P. for those years and (ii) for the years 1995 through 2000 reflects the total return after incentive allocation for each such year as reported by Third Point Partners L.P. Total return after incentive allocation for the years 2001 through June 30, 2016 is based on the net asset value for all limited partners of Third Point Partners L.P. taken as a whole, some of whom pay no incentive allocation or management fees, whereas total return after incentive allocation for the years 1995 through 2000 is based on the net asset value for only those limited partners of Third Point Partners L.P. that paid incentive allocation and management fees. In each case, results are presented net of management fees, brokerage commissions, administrative expenses, and accrued performance allocation, if any, and include the reinvestment of all dividends, interest, and capital gains; The illustrative return is calculated as a theoretical investment of $1,000 in Third Point Partners, L.P. at inception relative to the same theoretical investment in two hedge fund indices designed to track performance of certain “event-driven” hedge funds over the same period of time. All references to the Dow Jones Credit Suisse HFI Event Driven Index (“DJ-CS HFI”) and HFRI Event-Driven Total Index (“HFRI”) reflect performance calculated through June 30, 2016. The DJ-CS HFI is an asset-weighted index and includes only funds, as opposed to separate accounts. The DJ-CS HFI uses the Dow Jones Credit Suisse database and consists only of event driven funds deemed to be “event-driven” by the index and that have a minimum of $50 million in assets under management, a minimum of a 12-month track record, and audited financial statements. The HFRI consists only of event driven funds with a minimum of $50 million in assets under management or a minimum of a 12-month track record. Both indices state that returns are reported net of all fees and expenses. While Third Point Partners L.P. has been compared here with the performance of well-known and widely recognized indices, the indices have not been selected to represent an appropriate benchmark for Third Point Partners L.P., whose holdings, performance and volatility may differ significantly from the securities that comprise the indices. 1From formation of Third Point Partners L.P. in June 1995 through February 2017. Illustrative Net Return Since Inception (June 1995 = $1,000)

For Information Purposes Only NON-GAAP MEASURES & OTHER FINANCIAL METRICS ($000s, Except Share and per Share Amounts) As of 12/31/2016 12/31/2015 12/31/2014 12/31/2013 Basic diluted book value per share numerator: Total shareholders' equity $ 1,449,725 $ 1,395,883 $ 1,552,048 $ 1,510,396 Less: non-controlling interests (35,674 ) (16,157 ) (100,135 ) (118,735 ) Shareholders' equity attributable to shareholders 1,414,051 1,379,726 1,451,913 1,391,661 Effect of dilutive warrants issued to founders and an advisor 46,512 46,512 46,512 46,512 Effect of dilutive stock options issued to directors and employees 52,930 58,070 61,705 101,274 Diluted book value per share numerator: $ 1,513,493 $ 1,484,308 $ 1,560,130 $ 1,539,447 Basic and fully diluted book value per share denominator: Issued and outstanding shares, net of treasury shares 104,173,748 104,256,745 103,397,542 103,264,616 Effect of dilutive warrants issued to founders and an advisor 4,651,163 4,651,163 4,651,163 4,651,163 Effect of dilutive stock options issued to directors and employees 5,274,333 5,788,391 6,151,903 8,784,961 Effect of dilutive restricted shares issued to employees 878,529 837,277 922,610 657,156 Diluted book value per share denominator: 114,977,773 115,533,576 115,123,218 117,357,896 Basic book value per share $ 13.57 $ 13.23 $ 14.04 $ 13.48 Diluted book value per share $ 13.16 $ 12.85 $ 13.55 $ 13.12 Book value per share and diluted book value per share Book value per share and diluted book value per share are non-GAAP financial measures and there are no comparable GAAP measures. Book value per share is calculated by dividing shareholders’ equity attributable to shareholders by the number of issued and outstanding shares at period end, net of treasury shares. Diluted book value per share represents book value per share combined with the impact from dilution of all in-the-money share options issued, warrants and unvested restricted shares outstanding as of any period end. For unvested restricted shares with a performance condition, we include the unvested restricted shares for which we consider vesting to be probable. Change in book value per share is calculated by taking the change in book value per share divided by the beginning of period book value per share. Change in diluted book value per share is calculated by taking the change in diluted book value per share divided by the beginning of period diluted book value per share. We believe that long-term growth in diluted book value per share is the most important measure of our financial performance because it allows our management and investors to track over time the value created by the retention of earnings. In addition, we believe this metric is used by investors because it provides a basis for comparison with other companies in our industry that also report a similar measure. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted book value per share as of December 31, 2016, 2015, 2014 and 2013: 32

Return on beginning shareholders’ equity is calculated by dividing net income by the beginning shareholders’ equity attributable to shareholders. We believe that return on beginning shareholders’ equity is an important measure because it assists our management and investors in evaluating the Company’s profitability. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2014, we have adjusted the beginning shareholders’ equity for the impact of the issuance of shares in our IPO on a weighted average basis. This adjustment lowers the stated return on beginning shareholders’ equity attributable to shareholders. For the year ended December 31, 2016, we have also adjusted the beginning shareholders’ equity for the impact of the shares repurchased on a weighted average basis. This adjustment increased the stated returns on beginning shareholders’ equity. Insurance float In an insurance or reinsurance operation, float arises because premiums and proceeds associated with deposit accounted reinsurance contracts are collected before losses are paid. In some instances, the interval between premium receipts and loss payments can extend over many years. During this time interval, insurance and reinsurance companies invest the premiums received and seek to generate investment returns. Float is not a concept defined by U.S. GAAP and therefore, there are no comparable U.S. GAAP measures. Float, as a result, is considered to be a non-GAAP measure. We believe that net investment income generated on float is an important consideration in evaluating the overall contribution of our property and casualty reinsurance operation to our consolidated results. It is also explicitly considered as part of the evaluation of management’s performance for the purposes of incentive compensation. Net investment return on investments managed by Third Point LLC Net investment return represents the return on our investments managed by Third Point LLC, net of fees. The net investment return on investments managed by Third Point LLC is the percentage change in value of a dollar invested over the reporting period on our investment assets managed by Third Point LLC, net of non-controlling interests. The stated return is net of withholding taxes, which are presented as a component of income tax (expense) benefit in our consolidated statements of income (loss). Net investment return is the key indicator by which we measure the performance of Third Point LLC, our investment manager. 33
