The Merger Agreement

On July 29, 2024, the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Deer Ltd., an exempted company limited by shares existing under the laws of Bermuda and a direct wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Issuer (“New Company Holdco”), Deer Merger Sub Ltd., an exempted company limited by shares existing under the laws of Bermuda and a direct wholly-owned Subsidiary of New Company Holdco (“Company Merger Sub”), Elk Bidco Limited, an exempted company limited by shares existing under the laws of Bermuda (“Parent”), and Elk Merger Sub Limited, an exempted company limited by shares existing under the laws of Bermuda and a direct wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent (“Parent Merger Sub”). Parent and Merger Sub are backed by equity commitments from investment vehicles managed or advised by affiliates of Sixth Street Partners, LLC. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Issuer, New Company Holdco, Company Merger Sub, Parent and Parent Merger Sub will effect a series of mergers (collectively, the “Mergers”), with the Issuer surviving such mergers as a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent (the “Third Surviving Company”). Capitalized terms used in this summary but not otherwise defined have the meaning set forth in the Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, the Issuer shall merge with and into Company Merger Sub (the “First Merger”), with the Issuer surviving the merger as a direct wholly-owned Subsidiary of New Company Holdco (the “First Surviving Company”). Upon the effective time of the First Merger (the “First Effective Time”), (i) each Ordinary Share that is issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time (other than (v) Ordinary Shares owned by Parent, Parent Merger Sub, the Issuer or their respective wholly-owned Subsidiaries, (w) any Reinvesting Shares (as defined below), (x) any Ordinary Shares subject to the Issuer’s equity awards (other than Company Restricted Shares), (y) any Ordinary Shares that are Dissenting Shares and (z) to the extent the First Effective Time occurs prior to the JSOP Exchange Date, any Ordinary Shares held subject to the JSOP at such time), shall be converted into (A) the right to receive an amount in cash equal to (I) $500 million (the “Aggregate First Merger Amount”) divided by (II) the number of Ordinary Shares, on a fully diluted basis minus the number of Reinvesting Shares, without interest and less any amounts required to be deducted or withheld or as may be reduced as required by applicable law or any governmental entity (the “First Merger Cash Consideration”) and (B) the number of ordinary shares, par value $1.00 per share, of New Company Holdco (the “New Ordinary Share”) equal to the quotient (the “First Merger Ratio”) of (x) $338 minus the First Merger Cash Consideration divided by (y) $338 (together with the First Merger Cash Consideration, the “First Merger Consideration”). Upon the First Effective Time, each Reinvesting Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall be converted into a New Ordinary Share. The Aggregate First Merger Amount will be funded from the Issuer’s balance sheet.

As soon as practicable following the First Effective Time, New Company Holdco shall merge with and into the First Surviving Company (the “Second Merger”), with the First Surviving Company surviving the merger (the “Second Surviving Company”). Upon the effective time of the Second Merger (the “Second Effective Time”), each New Ordinary Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time (other than (x) New Ordinary Shares owned by Parent, Parent Merger Sub, the First Surviving Company or their respective wholly-owned Subsidiaries, (y) any New Ordinary Shares subject to the Issuer’s equity awards, and (z) to the extent the Second Effective Time occurs prior to the JSOP Vesting Date, any New Ordinary Shares held subject to the JSOP at such time), shall be converted into an ordinary share, par value $1.00 per share, of the Second Surviving Company (a “Second Surviving Company Ordinary Share”). Upon the First Effective Time, each First Surviving Company Reinvesting Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time owned by the Reinvesting Shareholders shall be converted into a Second Surviving Company Ordinary Share.

As soon as practicable following the Second Effective Time, Parent Merger Sub shall merge with and into the Second Surviving Company (the “Third Merger”), with the Second Surviving Company surviving as the Third Surviving Company. Upon the effective time of the Third Merger (the “Third Effective Time”), each Second Surviving Company Ordinary Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Third Effective Time (other than (w) the Second Surviving Company Ordinary Shares owned by Parent, Parent Merger Sub or the Second Surviving Company or their respective wholly-owned Subsidiaries, (x) any Second Surviving Company Ordinary Shares subject to the Issuer’s equity awards, (y) any Second Surviving Company Ordinary Shares that are Dissenting Shares and (z) to the extent the Third Effective Time occurs prior to the JSOP Vesting Date, any Second Surviving Company Ordinary Shares held subject to the JSOP at such time) shall be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to (A)(I)(i) $338 multiplied by the aggregate number of Second Surviving Company Ordinary Shares that are not the Second Surviving Company Ordinary Shares held by holders of the Reinvesting Shares, on a fully diluted basis, as of immediately prior to the Third Effective Time, minus (ii) Aggregate First Merger Amount divided by (B) the aggregate number of Second Surviving Company Ordinary Shares that are not the Second Surviving Company Ordinary Shares held by holders of Reinvesting Shares, on a fully diluted basis, plus (y) the aggregate cash consideration actually paid in respect of the First Merger, divided by (B) the aggregate number of Second Surviving Company Ordinary Shares that are not the Second Surviving Company Reinvesting Shares, on a fully diluted basis plus (z) if applicable, any amount set forth in the True-Up Notice (on a per share basis based on the amount of Second Surviving Company Ordinary Shares entitled thereto), in each case, without interest and less any amounts required to be deducted or withheld (the “Third Merger Cash Consideration” and together with the First Merger Cash Consideration, the “Total Cash Consideration”). Upon the Third Effective Time, each Second Surviving Company Ordinary Share held by holders of the Reinvesting Shares shall, at the election of Parent, either receive the Total Cash Consideration or be canceled and cease to exist.

The treatment of the Issuer’s preferred equity interests and equity awards is further set forth in the Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

If the Merger is consummated, the Ordinary Shares, the Series D Preferred Shares and the Series E Preferred Shares will be delisted from The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC and deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as promptly as practicable after the Third Effective Time.

The consummation of the Merger is subject to certain conditions, including: (i) the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the Shares that are present at the Issuer’s shareholders meeting, if the Issuer’s bye-law amendment is approved, or by the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the three-fourths of the Shares that are present at the Issuer’s shareholder meeting, if the Issuer’s bye-law amendment is not approved (the “Issuer Shareholder Approval”); (ii) the approval of the Bermuda Monetary Authority pursuant to the Bermuda Exchange Control Act 1972, the expiration, termination or receipt of any approval or clearances applicable to the consummation of the Merger under applicable antitrust laws, including the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, the approval of the Bermuda Monetary Authority pursuant to the Insurance Act 1978 and other additional approvals of certain other insurance regulatory bodies and the receipt of certain additional clearances or approvals of certain other governmental bodies; (iii) the absence of any order restraining, enjoining or otherwise preventing the consummation of the Mergers or any applicable law that prohibits or makes illegal the consummation of the Mergers; (iv) subject to certain qualifications, the accuracy of representations and warranties of the Issuer, Parent and Merger Sub, as applicable, under the Merger Agreement and the performance in all material respects by the Issuer, Parent and Merger Sub, as applicable, of their obligations under the Merger Agreement; (v) that no Specified Debt Event of Default (as defined below) has occurred and is continuing and (vi) the absence of any Company Material Adverse Effect.

The Merger Agreement also contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the Issuer, Parent and Merger Sub. Among other things, the Issuer has agreed, subject to certain exceptions, from the date of the Merger Agreement until the earlier to occur of the termination of the Merger Agreement and the Third Effective Time, to use commercially reasonable efforts to conduct its business in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice in all material respect and not to take certain actions prior to the Effective Time without the prior written consent of Parent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Issuer has also agreed that unless otherwise prohibited by law or any governmental entity, from the date of the Merger Agreement until the earlier to occur of the termination of the Merger Agreement and the time immediately prior to the First Effective Time, the Issuer shall (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Issuer to hold an amount in cash or liquid securities equal to the Aggregate First Merger Amount, (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to reserve such cash solely for the purpose of paying the full amount of the Aggregate First Merger Amount as consideration in the First Merger and (iii) not, and cause its Subsidiaries not to, take any action or omit to take any action for the purpose or knowingly with the effect of adversely affecting the ability of the Issuer to pay the First Merger Cash Consideration.

In addition, the Issuer has agreed to customary “go-shop” and “no-shop” provisions. From the execution of the Merger Agreement until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time, on the date that is thirty-five (35) days after the date of the Merger Agreement (the “No-Shop Start Date”), during which the Issuer and its affiliates and its and their respective representatives have the right to solicit, initiate, propose, knowingly encourage, knowingly facilitate or assist, an Acquisition Proposal and take certain related actions.

From the No-Shop Start Date until the earlier to occur of the termination of the Merger Agreement and the Third Effective Time, the Issuer will be subject to customary “no-shop” restrictions on the Issuer’s ability to solicit any Acquisition Proposal, to enter into any Alternative Acquisition Agreement, and to participate in discussions or negotiations with or provide non-public information to any person relating to any Acquisition Proposal. The Merger Agreement contains certain customary termination rights for the Issuer and Parent, including as follows: (i) Parent and the Issuer may agree to terminate the Merger Agreement by mutual written consent, (ii) either the Issuer or Parent may terminate the Merger Agreement if (A) the Third Merger has not occurred by July 29, 2025 (subject to an automatic extension under certain circumstances, including until January 29, 2026 for the purpose of obtaining certain regulatory approvals) (the “Outside Date”), (B) the Issuer Shareholder Approval is not obtained, (C) any governmental entity has issued an injunction or other order that has become final and non-appealable restraining, enjoining or otherwise preventing the consummation of the Mergers, or has enacted, issued or deemed applicable any law prohibiting or making illegal the consummation of the Mergers or (D) the other party breaches any representation, warranty or covenant that results in the failure of the related closing condition to be satisfied, subject to a cure period in certain circumstances. In addition, the Merger Agreement may be terminated by the Issuer (A) prior to the receipt of the Issuer Shareholder Approval, in order to enter into a definitive agreement providing for a Superior Proposal, (B) if all of the closing conditions to the First Closing have been and continue to be satisfied or have been waived (other than those conditions that by their nature only can be satisfied at the closing of the First Merger), and Parent or Parent Merger Sub, in violation of the terms of the Merger Agreement, fails to consummate the First Merger in accordance with the terms thereof, and the Issuer has provided irrevocable written notice to Parent following the date on which the consummation of the First Merger is required to occur that all closing conditions have been satisfied or waived and the Issuer is prepared, willing and able to consummate the Merger but Parent or Merger Sub fail to consummate the Merger in accordance with the Merger Agreement within ten (10) business days after delivery of such notice (a “Financing Failure”), or (C) if prior to the First Closing, the Issuer reasonably determines in good faith that it is reasonably likely that the Aggregate First Merger Amount will not equal $500 million, unless, following notice thereof, Parent elects by notice to the Issuer (a “True-Up Notice”) to increase the aggregate Third Merger Cash Consideration by an amount equal to the difference between the Aggregate First Merger Amount and the aggregate amount that would be paid in the First Merger without any such increase, as reasonably determined in good faith by the Issuer. The Merger Agreement may also be terminated by Parent if, (x) prior to the receipt of the Issuer Shareholder Approval, the Company Board changes the Board Recommendation or (y) there shall have occurred a Specified Debt Event of Default that is either incapable of being cured or has not been cured by the Outside Date (a “Specified Debt Event of Default”).

Upon termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, under certain circumstances, the Issuer will be required to pay Parent a termination fee in an amount equal to $145 million (which may be reduced to $102 million in certain circumstances. The Merger Agreement also provides that Parent will be required to pay the Issuer (a) a reverse termination fee of $265 million if (x) the Merger Agreement is terminated due to a Parent Terminable Breach or (y) if the Merger is not consummated due to a Financing Failure and (b) reverse termination fee of $96.5 million if the Merger Agreement is terminated due to a Specified Debt Event of Default.

Also pursuant to the Support Agreement, Mr. Silvester has agreed to contribute Ordinary Shares he beneficially owns in exchange for certain non-voting equity interests of TopCo (the “Rollover”).
