SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Annual Report on Form 10-K of Hamilton Insurance Group, Ltd. for the year ended December 31, 2025 ("Annual Report" or "Form 10-K") includes "forward looking statements" pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of terms such as "believes," "expects," "may," "will," "target," "should," "could," "would," "seeks," "intends," "plans," "contemplates," "estimates," "forecasts," or "anticipates," or similar expressions which concern our strategy, plans, projections or intentions. These forward-looking statements appear in a number of places throughout this Annual Report and relate to matters such as our industry, growth strategy, goals and expectations concerning our market position, future operations, margins, profitability, capital expenditures, liquidity and capital resources, business plans (including syndicate capacity forecasts) and other financial and operating information. By their nature, forward-looking statements: speak only as of the date they are made; are not statements of historical fact or guarantees of future performance; and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, or changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict or quantify. Our expectations, beliefs, and projections are expressed in good faith and we believe there is a reasonable basis for them. However, there can be no assurance that management’s expectations, beliefs and projections will be achieved and actual results may vary materially from what is expressed in or indicated by the forward-looking statements.

There are a number of risks, uncertainties, and other important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained herein. Such risks, uncertainties, and other important factors include, among others, the risks, uncertainties and factors set forth in "Risk Factors" and "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in this Annual Report and the following:

•challenges from competitors, including those arising from industry consolidation, alternative capital and technological advancements, including the increasing use of advanced analytics and artificial intelligence;
•unpredictable events, including natural catastrophes and man‑made disasters, global climate change and emerging claim, litigation and coverage issues that may increase loss severity or expand coverage obligations;
•our ability, or that of the third parties on which we rely, to ensure reserves are adequate to cover actual losses and to accurately assess underwriting risk, models, assumptions, data quality and the pricing of risks, particularly in long‑tail, low‑frequency or emerging lines of business;
•our ability to defend and protect our intellectual property rights, including our proprietary technology platforms and data, to comply with obligations under license and technology agreements or to obtain or renew licenses to technology or data on reasonable terms;
•the impact of risks associated with human error, misconduct or fraud, model uncertainty, cybersecurity threats such as cyber‑attacks and security breaches, misuse of artificial intelligence and our reliance on third‑party information technology systems that may fail, be disrupted or require replacement;
•our ability to secure necessary credit facilities, letters of credit or other forms of financing or collateral on favorable terms or at all;
•our limited financial and operational flexibility due to covenants and other restrictions in our existing or future credit facilities and debt arrangements;
•our exposure to the credit risk of insurance and reinsurance intermediaries on which we rely for the collection of premiums and payment of claims;
•our failure to pay claims in a timely manner, significant reserve strengthening, or the need to sell investments under unfavorable market or other conditions in order to meet liquidity requirements;
•downgrades, potential downgrades or other negative actions by rating agencies, including changes in rating agency methodologies;
•our ability to manage risks associated with adverse macroeconomic conditions, geopolitical instability and global events, including current or anticipated military conflicts, public health crises, terrorism, sanctions, inflation, rising interest rates, energy price volatility and other disruptions;

Our Company

Overview of Our Business

We are a global specialty insurance and reinsurance company founded in Bermuda in 2013. We harness multiple drivers to create shareholder value. These include diverse underwriting operations supported by proprietary technology and a team of over 600 full-time employees, a strong balance sheet, and a unique investment management relationship with Two Sigma. We operate globally, with underwriting operations in London, Dublin, Bermuda and across the United States. We are led by an entrepreneurial and experienced management team that has grown gross premiums written to $2.9 billion, $2.4 billion and $2.0 billion for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, with corresponding combined ratios of 92.9%, 91.3% and 90.1% for the same periods. The combined effects of organic premium growth, our 2019 strategic acquisition, the Company's 2023 initial public offering ("IPO"), our April 2024 AM Best "A" rating upgrade, and continuous platform cost optimization leave us well positioned to capitalize on market opportunities across the lines of business written by our established and scaled underwriting platforms.

We operate three principal underwriting platforms (Hamilton Global Specialty, Hamilton Select and Hamilton Re) that are categorized into two reporting business segments (International and Bermuda):

•International: Accounting for 52% of gross premiums written for the year ended December 31, 2025, our International segment consists of business written out of our Lloyd’s syndicate and subsidiaries based in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and the United States, and includes the Hamilton Global Specialty and Hamilton Select underwriting platforms.
•Hamilton Global Specialty focuses predominantly on commercial specialty and casualty insurance for medium to large-sized accounts and specialty reinsurance products written by Lloyd’s Syndicate 4000 and Hamilton Insurance DAC ("HIDAC"). Syndicate 4000, a leading Lloyd’s syndicate, generates a significant portion of premium from the U.S. Excess & Surplus ("E&S") market and has ranked among the most profitable and least volatile syndicates at Lloyd’s over the last 10 years.
•Hamilton Select, our U.S. domestic E&S carrier, writes casualty insurance for small to mid-sized clients in the hard-to-place niche of the U.S. E&S market. We believe it presents meaningful and profitable growth opportunities in the near-to-long term, further expanding our footprint in the U.S. E&S market.
•Our International segment had gross premiums written of $1.5 billion, $1.3 billion and $1.1 billion for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, with corresponding combined ratios of 95.0%, 95.6% and 94.7% for the same periods.
•Bermuda: Accounting for 48% of gross premiums written for the year ended December 31, 2025, our Bermuda segment consists of the Hamilton Re platform, made up of Hamilton Re and Hamilton Re US. Hamilton Re writes property, casualty and specialty reinsurance business on a global basis and also offers high excess Bermuda market specialty insurance products, predominantly for large U.S. commercial risks. Hamilton Re US writes casualty and specialty reinsurance business on a global basis.
•Our Bermuda segment had gross premiums written of $1.4 billion, $1.1 billion and $846 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, with corresponding combined ratios of 90.9%, 87.0% and 84.9% for the same periods.

Our evolution into a specialty insurance and reinsurance company reached a significant turning point in 2018 with the hiring of Pina Albo, our CEO, and the start of our strategic transformation ("Strategic Transformation"). Ms. Albo is a 30+ year veteran in the insurance industry, having served as a member of the Board of Executive Management at Munich Re, where she had a 25-year career, as well as serving on the Board of Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated (a Fortune 500 public company) and for a two-year term as the first female Chair of the Association of Bermuda Insurers and Reinsurers. The Strategic Transformation commenced in 2018, when we set a new strategy and business priorities, and was propelled by the appointment of a management team focused on employing rigorous risk selection and creating sustainable underwriting profitability. It included enhancing underwriting governance, re-underwriting and repositioning our business to increase the focus on casualty and specialty insurance and reinsurance lines, decreasing volatility, and investing in business-enabling technology. The 2019 acquisition of what are now Hamilton Managing Agency and related entities, Lloyd’s Syndicate 4000 and HIDAC accelerated the Strategic Transformation progress. It doubled and diversified our premium base, increased our underwriting expertise and operational capabilities, and provided us with a fully-scaled Lloyd’s platform. As a result of the actions taken in the context of the Strategic Transformation, we grew premiums written from $571 million for the year ended November 30, 2018 to $2.9 billion for the year ended December 31, 2025, reduced our combined ratio, optimized the portfolio mix by increasing the contribution from casualty and specialty insurance and reinsurance, and strengthened our balance sheet.

The success of the Strategic Transformation left the Company well positioned for our IPO in November 2023 and subsequent AM Best "A" rating upgrade in April 2024. We continuously review our portfolio to optimize underwriting returns and opportunities and drive additional benefits by regular collaboration with our Group Underwriting Committee ("GUC") and, effective January 1, 2026, oversight by our new Group Chief Underwriting Officer ("CUO"). Consequently, we believe Hamilton remains well positioned to deliver growth and profitability in the broadly attractive but evolving market environment.

Our proprietary technology has supported Hamilton's Strategic Transformation, facilitating growth, strengthening underwriting excellence, and enabling the execution of our multi‑year strategy. These capabilities are built upon a modern, cloud‑based core architecture and a unified enterprise data foundation unconstrained by legacy platforms and engineered to support advanced analytics, artificial intelligence (“AI”) enabled workflows, and scalable digital distribution.

At the center of this technology is the Hamilton Analytics and Risk Platform (“HARP”), our proprietary catastrophe modeling, pricing, and portfolio analytics engine. HARP integrates exposure, pricing, and accumulation information across regions, perils, and specialty classes to provide near real‑time decision support, capital‑efficiency analytics, and portfolio‑steering capabilities, which strengthens Hamilton’s underwriting control layer. The platform is also extensible, enabling expansion into non‑catastrophe analytics and advanced risk segmentation.

Complementing HARP is Timeflow, our proprietary API‑enabled ("application programming interface") global underwriting submission and triage system. Timeflow is used across our underwriting platforms to streamline submission ingestion, automate completeness and eligibility checks, and accelerate broker‑to‑underwriter connectivity.

These core capabilities are further supported by Hamilton Insights, our proprietary enterprise intelligence and reporting environment. Hamilton Insights consolidates operational, underwriting, financial, and risk data into governed information that provides management with visibility into operational performance across our business segments.

Our technology strategy integrates market‑leading commercial platforms with proprietary systems, enabling each business segment to operate efficiently while benefiting from shared services, consistent integration patterns, and centralized capabilities such as an enterprise data architecture, analytics, cybersecurity and operational resilience. In parallel, Hamilton continues to enhance direct digital connectivity with brokers, managing general agencies ("MGAs"), cedants, and market platforms through open APIs, event‑driven workflows, and emerging agentic‑AI capabilities, supporting efficiency across the underwriting process.

The growth of our business is also supported by a strong balance sheet. As of December 31, 2025, Hamilton had total assets of $9.6 billion, total cash and invested assets of $6.2 billion and shareholders’ equity of $2.8 billion. Our total cash and invested assets of $6.2 billion includes $3.4 billion of securities in our fixed maturity trading portfolio and short-term investments, altogether consisting of 55% of our total cash and invested assets, with an average credit rating of Aa3 and 100% of which are investment grade. See "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources—Cash and Investments" for further detail by investment class. At December 31, 2025, we also enjoy a low debt-to-capital ratio of 5.0%, which we believe provides us with meaningful financial flexibility to execute our strategy. The Company has repeatedly demonstrated its ability to withstand catastrophe and other significant loss events across changing market cycles. Our prudent reserving approach fortifies our financial position and has resulted in reserve releases (i.e. decreasing reserves for loss occurrence) every year since our inception.1

See "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Financial Strength Ratings" for details of the financial strength ratings assigned to our principal insurance and reinsurance operating subsidiaries. We believe these ratings demonstrate the financial strength of our insurance and reinsurance platforms and facilitate our ability to capitalize on new opportunities with our policyholders, cedants and distribution partners.

Unique Investment Management Relationship with Two Sigma
Our diversified underwriting model is complemented by a unique and long-term investment management relationship with Two Sigma. Founded in 2001, Two Sigma aims to consistently generate alpha in liquid global markets across a range of conditions using a disciplined, scientific approach and managed approximately $77 billion of assets across affiliates at December 31, 2025. Driven by a differentiated application of technology and data science, Two Sigma has over 1,700 employees across affiliates, including an experienced and diverse team of employees in research and development.

As of December 31, 2025, Two Sigma manages $2.2 billion, or 37%, of our total invested assets, via our investment in the TS Hamilton Fund. The TS Hamilton Fund is a dedicated fund of one managed by Two Sigma with exposures to certain Two Sigma macro and equity strategies.2 The TS Hamilton Fund has been designed to provide low-correlated absolute returns, primarily by combining multiple hedged and leveraged systematic and non-systematic investment strategies with proprietary risk management and execution techniques. The TS Hamilton Fund invests in a broad set of financial instruments and is primarily focused on liquid strategies in global equity, foreign exchange ("FX") markets, exchange-listed and over-the-counter ("OTC") options (and their underlying instruments) and other derivatives. This liquidity profile fits well with our business, while also providing the benefit of access to a dedicated fund of one.

Two Sigma has broad discretion to allocate our invested assets to different opportunities. Its current investments include Two Sigma Spectrum Portfolio, LLC ("STV"), Two Sigma Equity Spectrum Portfolio, LLC ("ESTV"), Two Sigma Absolute Return Portfolio, LLC ("ATV"), Two Sigma Futures Portfolio, LLC ("FTV"), Two Sigma Horizon Portfolio, LLC ("HTV"), Two Sigma Navigator Portfolio, LLC ("NTV") and Two Sigma Kuiper Portfolio, LLC ("KTV"). TS Hamilton Fund's current allocation is approximately 70% to equity strategies and 30% to macro strategies. The TS Hamilton Fund’s trading and investment activities are not limited to these systematic (and certain non-systematic) investment strategies and proprietary risk management, investment, optimization and execution techniques (collectively, the "Techniques") and the TS Hamilton Fund is permitted to pursue any investment strategy and/or Technique that Two Sigma determines in its sole discretion to be appropriate for the TS Hamilton Fund from time to time. In any given period, the performance of these individual portfolios may vary materially; however, the performance and risk profile of the TS Hamilton Fund is monitored in the aggregate at the overall fund level, rather than at the individual portfolio level. This is consistent with the manner in which investment management fees and performance incentive allocations are determined (i.e., fees and performance incentives are determined by the overall performance of the fund, rather than the performance of each portfolio).

Hamilton Re has a commitment with Two Sigma for an initial three-year period (the "Initial Term") and for rolling three-year periods thereafter (each such three-year period the "Commitment Period"), subject to certain circumstances, with the current Commitment Period ending on June 30, 2028. The Commitment Period consists of a three-year rolling term that automatically renews on an annual basis unless Hamilton Re or the Managing Member provide advance notice of non-renewal. Although not necessarily indicative of future results, the TS Hamilton Fund produced returns, net of investment management fees and performance incentive allocations, of 16.0%, 16.3% and 7.6% for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023,
1 Excluding the U.S. GAAP accounting impact of a loss portfolio transfer purchased in 2020.
2 For the avoidance of doubt, Two Sigma serves as the investment manager of the TS Hamilton Fund. The Company is not a client of Two Sigma pursuant to the Investment Act of 1940, as amended.

respectively. Hamilton pays arm’s-length management and incentive fees under this agreement. See "Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Investment Strategy—We have significant exposure to, and limited control over, the TS Hamilton Fund, which materially constrains our flexibility and could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operation" for more information.

Our Competitive Strengths
We believe that our corporate tagline, "In good company" embodies who we are as an organization. As a good corporate citizen, we strive to ensure that everyone we interact with – our clients and business partners, our employees, our shareholders and the communities we serve – feel they are in good company with Hamilton. Our promise is enhanced by the strengths of our differentiated business model, which include:

Scaled, diversified, and global specialty insurance and reinsurance operations
The scale we have built since our inception provides significant competitive advantages in the global markets we serve. We have grown our book both organically when market conditions have been attractive, through product and platform expansion, increased participations and increasing client and broker channel distribution; and inorganically, through the 2019 strategic acquisition of what are now Hamilton Managing Agency and related entities, Lloyd’s Syndicate 4000 and HIDAC.

Our business mix is well-balanced between insurance and reinsurance, and is diversified across geographies, risks, clients and products, with a majority of our business coming from specialty and casualty lines. For the year ended December 31, 2025, we recorded $2.9 billion of gross premiums written through our three principal underwriting platforms, with access to key markets around the world.

We believe that the scale and breadth of our book of business, our multiple underwriting platforms, our product offerings and the strength of our talented team allow us to dynamically respond to and manage market cycles, thus providing for more consistent underwriting performance and reduced volatility. We expect Hamilton Select will continue to add business diversification and growth, including in the profitable, hard-to-place niche of the U.S. E&S market. Hamilton Global Specialty and Hamilton Re also expect to continue providing growth prospects in the U.S. E&S and global (re)insurance markets. Overall, we believe our disciplined approach to scale, risk assessment, and diversification enables us to deliver on our goal of sustained profitability.

Disciplined and data-driven underwriting approach

Our underwriting platforms are each led by teams of experienced underwriters who are specialized in their product areas and able to set terms and conditions across several lines of business. Their expertise is supplemented by our strong technical tools, which provide the insights that enable our underwriters to intelligently price and structure our products and portfolio, maintain diversification, and in turn deliver attractive risk-adjusted profitability. Our underwriters adhere to a disciplined underwriting philosophy and guidelines, seeking to underwrite only profitable risks. Our underwriters regularly review their books of business to ensure they are growing in the most profitable areas and restructure or non-renew underperforming accounts, thus optimizing our business portfolio. They benefit from regular discussions with our GUC, which also reviews underwriting results, suggests strategic portfolio shifts, reviews risk appetites and tolerances for new and existing products and considers emerging risks and mitigation strategies in collaboration with our underwriting and executive leadership. They will also benefit from the oversight and input of our new Group CUO from January 1, 2026. Our review and risk selection processes are enhanced by our business intelligence and global management information system, Hamilton Insights, which provides real-time data and self-service report generation to help inform underwriting decisions. We have previously undertaken the portfolio enhancing measures of: launching Hamilton Select and Hamilton Re US; expanding credit and surety reinsurance, growing our professional and specialty insurance lines; purchasing strategic loss portfolio transfer coverage (the "LPT") with respect to certain historical Lloyd’s Years of Account ("YOA"); and exiting/remediating certain unprofitable lines of business (e.g. agriculture). The platforms have benefited from group-wide, third-party best-practice reviews commissioned by our GUC, and the fact that variable compensation is tied primarily to underwriting profitability.

We actively manage our risk exposure on a centralized basis, in order to allocate capital efficiently and optimize our returns. For example, we monitor tolerances for natural catastrophe risks utilizing probable maximum loss modelling results ("PMLs") for multiple regions and perils and we have appropriately managed our PMLs during the varying market cycles.

Our methodical and disciplined approach to underwriting, bolstered by our experienced underwriting talent, collaboration with our GUC, strong analytics platforms, and continued application of the underwriting principles, thoughtfulness and rigor that drove the Company's evolution, have resulted in combined ratios of 92.9%, 91.3% and 90.1% for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Additionally, the combined ratios for our International segment for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 were 95.0%, 95.6% and 94.7%, respectively, and the combined ratios for our Bermuda segment for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 were 90.9%, 87.0% and 84.9%, respectively.

Proprietary technology infrastructure

Underpinning our business are sophisticated proprietary technology and analytics platforms. Unburdened by legacy systems, our technological capabilities enable operational efficiencies as we continue to scale, and allow for nimble decision-making in a competitive marketplace.

We have built proprietary systems, including HARP, a catastrophe modeling and portfolio accumulation management platform used for all our natural catastrophe-exposed risks. Reflecting decades of industry experience, HARP enables precise modifications and loads to be applied to vendor catastrophe model results to produce the Hamilton View of Risk ("HVR"), the basis upon which all of our catastrophe modeling and accumulation management is conducted. HARP produces rapid management information and portfolio analytics to aid decision-making, and supports structural features such as reinstatement premium protections, cascading layers and trailing deductibles.

The HVR enables us to manage natural catastrophe risk on a consistent basis, including pricing, underwriting, reserving, planning, capital modelling and accumulation management decisions. We believe that the HVR is materially complete and appropriate to the current risk landscape. We accomplish this through vendor catastrophe models that serve as a baseline and our proprietary tools - the mainstay of which is HARP - which allow us to make a number of significant adjustments, and our model intelligence team that evaluates models and recommends changes. The HVR utilizes a long-term trend in its baseline and adjusts it to consider a combination of short-term variability such as warm sea-surface temperature, non-modeled perils, secondary uncertainty and severity loads (such as missing exposures, loss adjustment expenses, and potential model miss). In aggregate, the HVR produces loss estimates materially in excess of those provided by the baseline vendor models.

Our proprietary suite of technology also includes Timeflow (a global underwriting submission system), which enables us to digitize our submission intake process and orchestrate data entry across multiple systems and Hamilton Insights (our business intelligence and management information system), which is used by underwriters to gain insights to our business and make informed decisions.

Differentiated asset management capabilities with Two Sigma to further enhance returns

We have a unique asset management strategy as our investment-grade fixed income investment portfolio is complemented by our separate portfolio managed by Two Sigma within the TS Hamilton Fund. Our ability to generate positive risk-adjusted yields through our complementary investment portfolios differentiates us from our peers who generally only have traditional investment allocations, concentrated primarily in investment-grade, long-only fixed income securities.

The TS Hamilton Fund is designed to provide low-correlated absolute returns and high liquidity. Two Sigma seeks to control risk systematically through the use of proprietary portfolio management and risk management systems and techniques. Separately, our fixed income portfolio consists of traditional investment-grade fixed income securities which are conservative fixed maturity and short-term investments (average rating of "Aa3" and duration of 3.4 years at December 31, 2025) and is managed by third-party investment managers. We believe that this balanced approach and unique access to the TS Hamilton Fund allows us to optimize our investment returns and drive additional shareholder returns that complement our underwriting operations.

Strong balance sheet with significant financial flexibility

As of December 31, 2025, we had consolidated GAAP shareholders’ equity of $2.8 billion, with limited intangibles and a financial leverage ratio of 5.0%. Our capital position is enhanced by a highly liquid investment strategy, with assets in the TS Hamilton Fund diversified across investment strategies, instruments and thousands of positions in liquid global markets.

Our balance sheet is supported by our robust reserve position, which is above the estimate of our external actuarial selected indications.

See "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Financial Strength Ratings" for details of the financial strength ratings assigned to our principal insurance and reinsurance operating subsidiaries. We believe these ratings demonstrate the financial strength of our insurance and reinsurance platforms and facilitate our ability to capitalize on new opportunities with our policyholders, cedants and distribution partners.

Highly entrepreneurial and experienced leadership team fostering a distinctive and attractive culture

We consider ourselves a magnet for talent at all levels. Our executive officers are highly qualified and have an average of more than 20 years of relevant experience in insurance and reinsurance. We are led by our Chief Executive Officer, Pina Albo, who has over 30 years of industry experience and was previously a member of the Board of Executive Management of Munich Re, and the first North American woman to hold such a role. Several of our executive officers have long histories of working together at other organizations and have held senior management positions at large, established carriers. Members of our executive and management team have experience from a number of reputable carriers such as AIG, AXIS, Chubb, CNA, Everest, Kinsale, Munich Re, Partner Re and Renaissance Re.

Our corporate tag-line, "In good company", underpins our employee value proposition and embodies our inclusive, entrepreneurial and collaborative culture which drives our success in recruitment, development, and retention of leading industry talent.

Our Strategy

We are a global specialty insurance and reinsurance company enhanced by data and technology, focused on producing sustainable underwriting profitability and delivering significant shareholder value. We intend to keep growing our diverse book of business by responding to changing market conditions, prudently managing our capital, and driving sustainable shareholder returns. The key pillars of our strategy include:

Prudently managing capital across different underwriting cycles

We seek to prudently manage our capital with the objective of effectively navigating different market conditions and generating strong underwriting margins throughout all market cycles. Our scaled and diversified platforms and product offerings and our broad industry relationships provide significant opportunity to underwrite our chosen classes of property, casualty and specialty insurance and reinsurance as market opportunities arise. Leveraging our disciplined underwriting approach, balance sheet strength and flexibility, and real-time technology prowess, we can respond dynamically to capture opportunities as markets evolve.

We believe the current market conditions for insurance and reinsurance still provide attractive opportunities for all of our underwriting platforms. As a result of our broad product offering and relatively recent AM Best upgrade to an "A" rating, Hamilton Re has benefited from continued opportunities in our reinsurance business, notwithstanding the recent pricing pressure seen in the market. We believe Hamilton Re is well positioned to maintain our writings across various lines, participate in attractive program structures and benefit from favorable terms and conditions on attractive lines of business. Hamilton Global Specialty continues to capitalize on profitable pricing at the portfolio level across all insurance and reinsurance lines and has recently expanded its product and/or distribution channels in marine, financial lines and cyber. Hamilton Select continues to benefit from the increased flow of business and attractive market conditions in the U.S. E&S market where it is focused.

We believe our approach to managing capital across market cycles will allow us to produce profitable underwriting results, grow our capital and fund the continued growth of our business with our own resources. Our prudent approach to capital management may also allow us to return excess capital to investors over time, which may take the form of ordinary dividends, special dividends or share buybacks.

Driving sustainable underwriting profitability

One of our key strategic priorities is to produce sustainable underwriting profitability across the business we write and we believe we are well positioned to do so given our strong underwriting culture focused on cycle management. Our data-driven and disciplined underwriting processes position us to intelligently price and structure our products and our business portfolio. Our experienced underwriting, actuarial and catastrophe modeling teams rely on our strong technical tools and insights to help
9


inform underwriting decisions and drive additional benefits by regular collaboration with our GUC, and, as of January 1, 2026, our new Group CUO.

We maintain trusted and long-standing relationships with our clients and brokers, who we believe will continue to provide us with access to attractive business. Our disciplined underwriting approach has resulted in combined ratios of 92.9%, 91.3% and 90.1% for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We expect to continue to leverage our robust underwriting processes, highly experienced teams, broad access to clients and brokers and real time analytics to address our clients’ needs and to garner attractive opportunities across all our underwriting platforms.

Pursuing disciplined and opportunistic growth of Hamilton platforms

We continue to see growth opportunities in both the insurance and reinsurance markets in which we operate and intend to pursue disciplined growth across all our underwriting platforms. In recent years the U.S. E&S market has benefited from a strong rate environment and increased submissions as business has shifted into the non-admitted market from the admitted market. Non-admitted insurers are able to cover unique and hard-to-place risks because they have flexibility of rate and form and can accommodate the unique needs of insureds who are unable to obtain coverage from admitted carriers.

We access the attractive U.S. E&S market via all three of our underwriting platforms.

•Hamilton Global Specialty writes U.S. E&S business on both its Lloyd’s and HIDAC platforms. It is an established specialty insurance market with specialized underwriting talent and strong broker and client relationships across the casualty, specialty and property insurance lines, and is well positioned to take advantage of attractive opportunities in this market.
•Hamilton Re is both an insurer and reinsurer of U.S. E&S insurance business, positioning this platform to pursue attractive market opportunities.
•Hamilton Select further increases our access to the U.S. E&S insurance market. Hamilton Select plans to grow in the U.S. E&S market through expanded product offerings, including the hard-to-place niche, and is focused on small to medium sized risks, a segment which is expected to produce profitable results in all market cycles. Hamilton Select has a leadership and underwriting team with extensive experience in its chosen niche and also benefits from extensive distribution relationships in this market segment.
We believe the access our three underwriting platforms have to U.S. E&S insurance business will allow us to build a robust and diversified book of business and achieve our profitable growth objectives throughout various market cycles.

Reinsurance business still provides attractive opportunities, given the attractive rating environment for several of the classes we write at this time in the cycle and this, in addition to our relatively recent AM Best "A" rating upgrade, is expected to provide growth opportunities, particularly with key clients.

Generating strong risk-adjusted returns for shareholders

Our strong, sustainable underwriting operations are complemented by our unique investment portfolio, which consists of the TS Hamilton Fund and our investment grade fixed income portfolio. We plan to continue to optimize our investment portfolio through a balanced allocation of invested assets and maintain the flexibility to adjust this allocation as needed. We believe our strategy of disciplined underwriting growth, balanced with our investment platform, will drive our ability to create shareholder value.

Hamilton Select

As a U.S. domestic non-admitted carrier, Hamilton Select can restrict coverage and thereby limit exposure to loss by either excluding coverage or providing a sub-limit on coverage. As coverage is not available in the standard market, non-admitted carriers may be able to charge premiums exceeding the standard market broad coverage risk charge for a narrower scope of coverage. The starting basis for non-admitted policy forms and rates are typically the admitted market policy forms and rates. The non-admitted market coverage form is typically modified to address the specific risk characteristics of accounts that are pushed out of the admitted market, and the pricing is adjusted to reflect the elevated risk potential. The non-admitted market policy wording is typically modified to further restrict and limit coverage, and the pricing is surcharged to account for the elevated risk for these distressed commercial accounts.

Hamilton Select offers the following products in the United States to small to mid-sized hard-to-place and distressed accounts:

Allied Medical: We offer coverage for long-term care facilities such as independent living and assisted living, social services such as adoption and foster care, counseling, drug & alcohol rehab, adult day care, shelters and halfway houses, group homes for people with developmental or physical disabilities, and miscellaneous healthcare facilities, such as home health care, staffing (non-physician), physical therapy, hospice agencies and cannabis dispensaries.

Marketing and Distribution of our International and Bermuda Businesses
The knowledge, experience and relationships of our senior management team provide us with global access to insurance and reinsurance brokers, agents and clients. We believe we have strong market relationships with the world’s top insurance and reinsurance brokers and agents, including Marsh McLennan, Aon, Arthur J Gallagher and a number of U.S., Bermuda and London market wholesale brokers. We also have close relationships with a number of mid-tier and smaller specialty brokers. Some of our products, such as those in our A&H account, are also distributed through managing general agents ("MGAs") and managing general underwriters ("MGUs"). We believe our distribution relationships are differentiated and strengthened by the knowledge and experience of our senior management team and the long history of industry partnerships they have developed over many years. These relationships facilitate our strategic expansion into additional lines of business that we find attractive and consistent with our core strengths and expertise.

Hamilton writes insurance business on a non-admitted (U.S. E&S) basis through wholesale brokers, surplus lines brokers and reinsurance brokers.

Gross premiums written by broker, showing individually where premiums were 10% or more of the total in any of the last three years, were as follows:

The International segment, excluding Hamilton Select, includes a variety of business across many clients on a worldwide basis, which provides us with a broad spread of risk. We are not dependent on any single client for our business and have a wide variety of distribution channels. These distribution channels include our MGA in the United States, HMGA Americas, third-party coverholders and both Lloyd’s and non-Lloyd’s brokers.

Our International segment includes business from several large national and international brokers and a number of smaller specialized brokers. With respect to our International segment, our 10 largest brokers (by amount of gross premium written for the Company) accounted for an aggregate of approximately 54% of our gross premiums written in 2025, with the largest broker, Marsh McLennan, accounting for approximately 10% of our gross premiums written. The second largest broker, Arthur J Gallagher, accounted for approximately 7% of our gross premiums written.

Our Bermuda segment business is accessed through wholesale and reinsurance brokers. With respect to our Bermuda segment, our largest broker (by amount of gross premium written for the Company), Marsh McLennan, accounted for approximately 41% of gross premiums written in 2025. The second largest broker, Aon, accounted for approximately 30% of our gross premiums written.

Reinsurance
We strategically purchase reinsurance and retrocession from third parties. This enhances our business by protecting capital and reducing our exposure to volatility from adverse claims events (either large single events or an accumulation of events). As at January 1, 2026, based upon HVR, we estimate that our modeled 100-Year Occurrence Exceedance Probability for Atlantic Hurricanes in Florida would produce a net loss to Hamilton of $242.3 million, and our modeled 250-Year Occurrence Exceedance Probability for U.S. Mainland Earthquakes in California would produce a net loss to Hamilton of $292.3 million, or 8.6% and 10.4% of shareholders' equity, respectively.

Our pricing and accumulation management in respect of natural catastrophe exposures is managed within our proprietary platform, HARP, and is performed using the HVR. The HVR incorporates bespoke frequency and severity adjustments at various levels of granularity, which, in aggregate, represents a material load over and above the loss exposure produced from the unadjusted vendor models that we use. The adjustments include allowance for the potential for increased frequency and severity of natural catastrophe events over time, as well as for several other factors that could cause us to be exposed to
21


increasing claims trends from natural catastrophes. See "––Our Competitive Strengths––Proprietary technology infrastructure" for additional information on the HVR.

Our reinsurance purchases include a variety of quota share and excess of loss treaties and facultative placements, depending on the class of business. In 2025, we ceded 25% of premium from the International segment and 18% from the Bermuda segment.

We carefully manage our counterparty credit risk by selecting outwards partners of adequate financial strength. For the outwards program placed for 2025, all of the effective outwards limit is ceded to reinsurers and retrocessionaires with a credit rating of "A-" (Excellent) by AM Best (or an equivalent rating by S&P Global), or better, or who are collateralized.

Reserves

The estimated reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses ("loss reserves") represents management’s best estimate of the unpaid portion of the Company’s ultimate liability for losses and loss adjustment expenses for insured and reinsured events that have occurred at or before the balance sheet date, based on its assessment of facts and circumstances known at that particular point in time. Loss reserves reflect both claims that have been reported to the Company ("case reserves") and claims that have been incurred but not reported to the Company ("IBNR").

Loss reserves are complex estimates, not an exact calculation of liabilities. Management reviews loss reserve estimates at each quarterly reporting date and considers all significant facts and circumstances known at that particular point in time. As additional experience and other data becomes available and/or laws and legal interpretations change, management may adjust previous estimates. Adjustments are recognized in the period in which they are determined and may impact that period's underwriting results either favorably (when current estimates are lower than previous estimates) or unfavorably (when current estimates are higher than previous estimates).

Investments

Our investment strategy is focused on delivering a combination of stable investment income and low-correlated absolute returns. The goal is to produce a total return throughout all market cycles while maintaining appropriate liquidity and credit quality to support our underwriting activities and meet the requirements of customers, rating agencies and regulators.

We maintain two segregated investment portfolios: a fixed maturity and short-term investment portfolio and an investment in the TS Hamilton Fund. The investment portfolio allocation as at December 31, 2025, is 55% in fixed income and short-term investments, 37% in the TS Hamilton Fund and 8% in cash and cash equivalents.

The fixed income portfolio is structured to focus primarily on the preservation of capital and the availability of liquidity to meet our claims obligations. The strategy is to maintain a portfolio that is well-diversified across market sectors and to generate attractive returns on a risk-adjusted basis over time. This portfolio is also used to provide security for our credit facilities. The fixed income investment portfolio is managed by independent, non-Two Sigma investment managers (the "Investment Managers"). There are no provisions in the investment management agreements with the Investment Managers that would restrict the Company’s ability to liquidate its holdings in the fixed income portfolios if additional liquidity were required. The investment management agreements contain standard commercial terms related to fixed income portfolio management and customary fees. Subject to the investment objectives, restrictions and guidelines, the Investment Managers are appointed as the discretionary manager of all cash, securities and other assets within their respective portfolios. The Investment Manager agreements are effective until canceled by either party with prior written notice ranging from not less than 30 to 60 days’ prior written notice from the Company to the Investment Managers or not less than 90 days’ prior written notice from the Investment Manager to the Company.

In contrast, the TS Hamilton Fund was developed as a highly customized set of exposures to certain macro and equity strategies and designed to provide an uncorrelated market return profile with moderate volatility and high liquidity, while being governed by a rigorous and proprietary risk management framework.

We manage interest rate risk by structuring our fixed income portfolio so that the economic impact of an interest rate shift on the portfolio is comparable to the corresponding impact on the related liabilities. We believe that duration matching of our financial assets and underwriting liabilities mitigates the overall interest rate risk on an economic basis.

Claims

We have experienced claims teams embedded within each underwriting platform, consisting of over 50 in-house claims professionals, many of whom are attorneys. Most of our claims are handled by our in-house claims team. Third-party administrators are also utilized in certain instances, for example, in the handling of certain legacy business lines.
Effective claims management allows for timely and accurate review, processing and payment of valid claims, a directive which is at the heart of the contracts entered into between Hamilton and its policyholders. Further, effective claims management ensures we do not pay claims which are not covered or excluded, all of which contributes to the preservation of Hamilton’s capital base and overall level of service provided by Hamilton.

The key responsibilities of the claims teams include:

•The management of individual claims, which includes processing, analyzing, and establishing case reserves and paying valid claims under the insurance and reinsurance contracts entered into by Hamilton. This can include the appointment of third-party experts such as forensic accountants, adjusters or consultants.
•Leading the process of collecting and coordinating relevant information to enable the estimation of catastrophe losses and, in conjunction with the actuarial and underwriting teams, continue to regularly monitor and update these estimates.
•The management of coverage disputes, including the appointment of outside experts where appropriate.
•For the reinsurance claims team, regular audits of many of our larger cedants' claims departments.
•Reporting to management on a regular basis and regularly reviewing outstanding claims in coordination with our underwriting and actuarial teams.
Competition

The property, casualty and specialty business consists of many markets and sub-markets around the world. Each market is characterized by distinct customer needs and products and services to meet those needs, as well as specific economic and structural features. We face competition in our underwriting divisions from other insurers, reinsurers and MGAs. Competition is based on many factors, including pricing, coverage and structural terms, general reputation, financial strength, relationships with brokers, ratings assigned by independent rating agencies, response times including speed of claims payment and the experience and reputation of the members of the underwriting and claims teams. Given the diversity of our product offerings, our competition is broad and certain competitors may be specific to only a subset of our product offerings. Some of our competitors include American Financial Group, Inc.; Arch Capital Group Ltd; AXIS Capital Holdings Limited; Beazley plc; Cincinnati Financial Corporation; Everest Group, Ltd.; The Hanover Insurance Group, Inc.; Hiscox Ltd; James River Group Holdings, Inc.; Kinsale Capital Group, Inc.; Lancashire Holdings Limited; Markel Group Inc.; Palomar Holdings, Inc.; RLI Corp; RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd.; Skyward Specialty Insurance Group, Inc.; various Lloyd’s syndicates and W.R. Berkley Corporation.

Technology and Data

Hamilton’s technology and data posture reflects a deliberate design toward a digitally-enabled enterprise operating model that integrates people, platforms, processes, and intelligence to support underwriting, operational efficiency and decision making, at scale. Under the leadership of Hamilton’s Chief Information Officer ("CIO") and our technical leadership team, we are evaluating opportunities to evolve from transactional, process‑driven workflows toward increased automation and data‑enabled analytical capabilities. This evolution is intended to support our ability to respond to brokers with greater speed and consistency, while establishing a foundation for growth across our three underwriting platforms.

Central to this effort is Hamilton’s enterprise data architecture and digital operating framework, which support operational monitoring, portfolio‑level visibility, and integrated decision support. Proprietary and third party platforms operate within a disciplined, group‑level architectural framework to support underwriting, claims, policy processing, policy servicing, risk modeling, and financial operations, with increasing levels of automation and straight‑through processing. This framework is designed to promote decisions based on consistent, high‑quality data across the enterprise.

Hamilton’s technology investments are guided by an approach that we believe emphasizes integration as a core operating advantage. Rather than emphasizing discrete tools, we focus on how systems, data, and AI‑assisted capabilities work together to support workflow efficiency across business segments. Digital submission processes, automated data ingestion, standardized reporting, and API‑enabled broker connectivity support a scalable operating environment and provide a foundation for the responsible adoption of emerging technologies, including agentic AI and advanced analytics, in a manner consistent with operational, regulatory and compliance requirements.

Supporting this strategy is a resilient infrastructure and a governance model grounded in technology controls, cybersecurity practices, and enterprise oversight. Hamilton’s operating environment is designed to support compliance with Sarbanes‑Oxley ("SOX") requirements through managed change processes, standardized data quality controls, auditable workflows, and monitoring of production systems. Disaster‑recovery procedures, infrastructure redundancy, cyber defense, and disciplined lifecycle management are intended to support the availability and performance of underwriting, financial, and operational systems. However, these controls and safeguards may not prevent all errors, security incidents, or disruptions. See “Risk Factors — Interruptions to or failures of the information technology systems upon which we rely, including those resulting from cybersecurity attacks and security breaches, could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations”.

While we have certain registered rights in connection with our brand, we rely on a combination of common law rights, trade secrets, contractual arrangements, proprietary methodologies, and licensed intellectual property to support our business operations. See "Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business and Industry—We may be unable to adequately protect or enforce our intellectual property rights, or we may face claims alleging infringement of third-party rights" for more information.

Regulation

The business of reinsurance and insurance is regulated in all countries in which we operate, although the degree and type of regulation varies significantly from one jurisdiction to another. As a holding company, the Company is generally not directly subject to such regulations, but its various insurance and reinsurance operating subsidiaries are subject to regulation, as described as follows:

Bermuda Insurance Regulation

Insurance Regulation Generally

The Insurance Act 1978 of Bermuda and related regulations, as amended (the "Insurance Act"), regulate the insurance businesses of our Bermuda operating companies, and provide that no person may carry on any insurance business in or from within Bermuda unless registered as an insurer under the Insurance Act by the Bermuda Monetary Authority ("BMA"). The BMA, in deciding whether to grant registration, has broad discretion to act as it thinks fit in the public interest. The BMA is required by the Insurance Act to determine whether the applicant is a fit and proper body to be engaged in insurance business and, in particular, whether it has, or has available to it, adequate knowledge and expertise to operate an insurance business.

24


The Insurance Act does not distinguish between insurers and reinsurers: companies are registered under the Insurance Act as "insurers." The Insurance Act uses the defined term "insurance business" to include reinsurance.

The continued registration of an applicant as an insurer is subject to the applicant complying with the terms of its registration and such other conditions as the BMA may impose from time to time. The Insurance Act also grants to the BMA powers to supervise, investigate and intervene in the affairs of insurance companies.

Our Bermuda-licensed insurance operating subsidiaries include Hamilton Re, which is registered as a Class 4 general business insurer and Ada Capital Management Limited ("ACML") which is registered as an insurance agent (collectively, the "Bermuda Operating Companies").

The Insurance Act imposes solvency and liquidity standards on Bermuda insurance companies, as well as auditing and reporting requirements, and grants the BMA powers to supervise, investigate, require information and demand the production of documents and intervene in the affairs of regulated companies.

As a holding company, the Company is not directly regulated as an insurer under the Insurance Act. However, our Bermuda Operating Companies are subject to various requirements under Bermuda law depending on their classification under the Insurance Act.

Bermuda registered insurers are generally prohibited from declaring or paying any dividends if in breach of the required minimum solvency margin or minimum liquidity ratio, or if the declaration or payment of such dividend would cause such a breach. Further, an insurer that fails to comply with its enhanced capital requirement is also prohibited from declaring and paying any dividends until the failure has been rectified. Hamilton Re is also subject to additional restrictions which apply to the payment of dividends and a reduction in total statutory capital and surplus over applicable thresholds.

From time to time, the Bermuda Operating Companies may apply for, and be granted, certain modifications to, or exemptions from, regulatory requirements which may otherwise apply to them.

The BMA acts as our group supervisor and has designated Hamilton Re as the "designated insurer" in respect of the Hamilton Group. Therefore, Hamilton Group is subject to the BMA’s group supervision and solvency rules which cover assessing the financial situation and solvency position of Hamilton Group and/or its members and regulating intra-group transactions, risk concentration, governance procedures, risk management and regulatory reporting and disclosure. See "Group Supervision" below for further discussion. The BMA has certain powers of investigation and intervention, relating to Bermuda-licensed entities and their holding companies, subsidiaries and other affiliates, including the power to cancel a Bermuda-licensed entity’s registration, which it may exercise in the interest of such an insurer’s policyholders or if there is any risk of insolvency or a breach of the Insurance Act or the license conditions of a Bermuda-licensed entity.

The European Parliament recognizes Bermuda’s regulatory regime as achieving Solvency II Directive 2009 (2009/138/EC) equivalence for its commercial insurers and insurance groups. Bermuda’s regulatory regime and the United Kingdom’s prudential regime were maintained following the United Kingdom’s transition out of the EU.

Certain significant aspects of the Bermuda insurance regulatory framework are set forth below, focusing only on our primary Class 4 insurer, Hamilton Re, which is subject to the strictest regulation.

Classification of Insurers

The Insurance Act distinguishes between insurers carrying on long-term business, insurers carrying on general business, insurers carrying on special purpose business, and insurers carrying on general business in an innovative or innovative and experimental manner. There are six general business classifications (Classes 1, 2, 3, 3A, 3B and 4), five long-term business classifications (Classes A, B, C, D and E), two classifications of insurers carrying on special purpose business (Special Purpose Insurer and Collateralized Insurer), two innovative classifications (Class IIGB and IILT), and two innovative and experimental classifications (Class IGB and ILT).

25


Classification as a Class 4 Insurer; Minimum Paid Up Share Capital

A body corporate is registrable as a Class 4 insurer where (a) it has at the time of its application for registration, or will have before it carries on insurance business, total statutory capital and surplus of not less than $100 million; and (b) it intends to carry on general insurance business including excess liability business or property catastrophe reinsurance business. Hamilton Re is required to maintain fully paid up share capital of at least $1 million.

Principal Representative, Principal Office and Head Office

As a Class 4 insurer, Hamilton Re is required to maintain a principal office and to appoint and maintain a principal representative in Bermuda. For the purposes of the Insurance Act, the principal office of Hamilton Re is located at Wellesley House North, 1st Floor, 90 Pitts Bay Road, Pembroke, HM 08, Bermuda and Athena Tolosa, the Chief Financial Officer of Hamilton Re, serves as its principal representative.

Without a reason acceptable to the BMA, an insurer may not terminate the appointment of its principal representative, and the principal representative may not cease to act as such, unless 30 days’ notice in writing to the BMA is given of the intention to do so.

The principal representative must notify the BMA forthwith upon reaching a view that there is a likelihood of the insurer becoming insolvent, or upon becoming aware that a reportable "event" has occurred, or is believed to have occurred. Examples of a reportable "event" include a failure by the insurer to comply substantially with a condition imposed upon it by the BMA relating to a solvency margin or a liquidity or other ratio, a significant loss reasonably likely to cause the insurer to fail to comply with its enhanced capital requirement (discussed below) and the occurrence of a "material change" (as such term is defined under the Insurance Act). Within 14 days of such notification to the BMA, the principal representative must furnish the BMA with a written report setting out all the particulars of the case that are available to the principal representative.

Where there has been a significant loss which is reasonably likely to cause the insurer to fail to comply with its enhanced capital requirement, the principal representative must also furnish the BMA with a capital and solvency return reflecting an enhanced capital requirement prepared using post-loss data within 45 days of notifying the BMA regarding the loss.

Furthermore, where a notification has been made to the BMA regarding a material change, the principal representative has 30 days from the date of such notification to furnish the BMA with unaudited interim statutory financial statements in relation to such period as the BMA may require, together with a general business solvency certificate in respect of those statements.

In addition, each Class 4 insurer must maintain its head office in Bermuda. In determining whether an insurer satisfies this requirement, the BMA considers, among other things, the following factors: (i) where the underwriting, risk management and operational decision-making of the insurer occurs; (ii) whether the presence of senior executives who are responsible for, and involved in, the decision-making related to the insurance business of the insurer are located in Bermuda; and (iii) where meetings of the board of directors of the insurer occur. In making its determination, the BMA may also give regard to (i) the location where management of the insurer meets to effect policy decisions of the insurer, (ii) the residence of the officers, insurance managers or employees of the insurer, and (iii) the residence of one or more directors of the insurer in Bermuda.

Independent Approved Auditor

Hamilton Re has appointed Ernst & Young Ltd. as its independent auditor. The independent auditor will audit and report on Hamilton Re’s GAAP or international financial reporting standards ("IFRS") financial statements (as defined below) and audit its statutory financial statements, each of which is required to be filed annually with the BMA, as described below.

Loss Reserve Specialist

As a Class 4 insurer, Hamilton Re is required to appoint an individual approved by the BMA to be its loss reserve specialist. In order to qualify as an approved loss reserve specialist, the applicant must be an individual qualified to provide an opinion in accordance with the requirements of the Insurance Act and the BMA must be satisfied that the individual is fit and proper to hold such an appointment.

26


As a Class 4 insurer, Hamilton Re is required to submit annually an opinion of its approved loss reserve specialist with its capital and solvency return in respect of its total general business insurance technical provisions (i.e., the aggregate of its net premium provisions, net loss and loss expense provisions and risk margin, as each is reported in the insurer’s statutory economic balance sheet). The loss reserve specialist’s opinion must state, among other things, whether or not the aggregate amount of technical provisions shown in the statutory economic balance sheet as at the end of the relevant financial year (i) meets the requirements of the Insurance Act and (ii) makes reasonable provision for the total technical provisions of the insurer under the terms of its insurance contracts and agreements.

Annual Audited Financial Statements

Hamilton Re must prepare and submit, on an annual basis, audited GAAP or IFRS financial statements and audited statutory financial statements. The Insurance Act prescribes rules for the preparation and substance of statutory financial statements (which include, in statutory form, a balance sheet, income statement, a statement of capital and surplus and notes thereto). The statutory financial statements include detailed information and analysis regarding premiums, claims, reinsurance and investments of the insurer. Hamilton Re is also required to prepare and submit to the BMA financial statements which have been prepared under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States or international financial reporting standards ("GAAP or IFRS financial statements"). The insurer’s annual GAAP or IFRS financial statements and the auditor’s report thereon, and the statutory financial statements are required to be filed with the BMA within four months from the end of the relevant financial year (unless specifically extended with the approval of the BMA). The statutory financial statements do not form part of the public records maintained by the BMA, but the GAAP or IFRS financial statements are available for public inspection.

Annual Statutory Financial Return and Annual Capital and Solvency Return

As a Class 4 insurer, Hamilton Re is required to file with the BMA an annual statutory financial return no later than four months after its financial year end (unless specifically extended with the approval of the BMA). The statutory financial return includes, among other matters, the statutory financial statements of the insurer and the calculations for the Class 4 insurer’s minimum solvency margin and liquidity ratio.

In addition, each year Hamilton Re is required to file with the BMA a capital and solvency return along with its annual statutory financial return. The prescribed form of capital and solvency return comprises the Class 4 insurer’s Bermuda Solvency Capital Requirement ("BSCR") model or an approved internal capital model in lieu thereof (more fully described below), various schedules and the opinion of the loss reserve specialist.

Neither the statutory financial return nor the capital and solvency return is available for public inspection.

Declaration of Compliance

At the time of filing its statutory financial statements, a Class 4 insurer is also required to deliver to the BMA a declaration of compliance, in such form and with such content as may be prescribed by the BMA, declaring whether or not the Class 4 insurer has, with respect to the preceding financial year: (i) complied with all requirements of the minimum criteria applicable to it; (ii) complied with the minimum margin of solvency as at its financial year end; (iii) complied with the applicable enhanced capital requirements as at its financial year end; (iv) observed any limitations, restrictions or conditions imposed upon issuance of its license, if applicable; and (v) complied with the minimum liquidity ratio for general business as at its financial year end. The declaration of compliance is required to be signed by two directors of the Class 4 insurer and if the Class 4 insurer has failed to comply with any of the requirements referenced in clauses (i) through (v) above, the Class 4 insurer will be required to provide the BMA with particulars of such failure in writing. A Class 4 insurer shall be liable to civil penalty by way of a fine for failure to comply with a duty imposed on it in connection with the delivery of the declaration of compliance.

Public Disclosures

All commercial insurers and insurance groups are required to prepare and file with the BMA, and also publish on their website, a Financial Condition Report, which provides, among other things, measures governing the business operations, corporate governance framework and solvency and financial performance of the insurer/insurance group. The BMA has discretion to approve modifications and exemptions to the public disclosure rules, on application by the insurer if, among other things, the BMA is satisfied that the disclosure of certain information will result in a competitive disadvantage or compromise
27


confidentiality obligations of the insurer. We have received approval from the BMA to file a consolidated group Financial Condition Report, inclusive of Hamilton Re.

Non-insurance Business

No Class 4 insurer may engage in non-insurance business, unless that non-insurance business is ancillary to the insurance business carried on by the insurer. Non-insurance business means any business other than insurance business and includes carrying on investment business, managing an investment fund as operator, carrying on business as a fund administrator, carrying on banking business, underwriting debt or securities or otherwise engaging in investment banking, engaging in commercial or industrial activities and carrying on the business of management, sales or leasing of real property.
Minimum Liquidity Ratio

The Insurance Act provides a minimum liquidity ratio for general business insurers. A Class 4 insurer engaged in general business is required to maintain a minimum liquidity ratio to the value of its relevant assets at not less than 75% of the amount of its relevant liabilities. Relevant assets include cash and time deposits, quoted investments, unquoted bonds and debentures, first liens on real estate, investment income due and accrued, accounts and premiums receivable, reinsurance balances receivable, funds held by ceding reinsurers and any other assets which the BMA, on application in any particular case made to it with reasons, accepts in that case. There are certain categories of assets which, unless specifically permitted by the BMA, do not automatically qualify as relevant assets, such as unquoted equity securities, investments in and advances to affiliates and real estate and collateral loans. The relevant liabilities are total general business insurance reserves and total other liabilities less deferred income tax and sundry liabilities (by interpretation, those not specifically defined) and letters of credit and guarantees.

Minimum Solvency Margin and Enhanced Capital Requirements

The Insurance Act provides that all general business insurers’ statutory assets must exceed their statutory limits by an amount greater than or equal to their prescribed minimum solvency margin ("MSM"). The MSM that must be maintained by a Class 4 insurer is the greater of (i) U.S. $100 million, (ii) 50% of net premiums written (with a credit for reinsurance ceded not exceeding 25% of gross premiums), (iii) 15% of net aggregate loss and loss expense provisions and other reinsurance reserves, or (iv) 25% of the ECR (as defined below) as reported at the end of the relevant year. Additional regulations apply to the determination of the types of capital instruments that may be used to satisfy the solvency requirements.

Hamilton Re is also required to maintain available statutory economic capital and surplus at a level equal to or in excess of its enhanced capital requirement ("ECR"), which is established by reference to either the BSCR model or an approved internal capital model. The BMA has also implemented the economic balance sheet ("EBS") framework, which is used as the basis to determine an insurer’s ECR. Under the EBS framework, assets and liabilities are mainly assessed and included on the EBS at fair value, with the insurer’s U.S. GAAP balance sheet serving as a starting point. The model also requires insurers to estimate insurance technical provisions, which consist of the insurer’s insurance-related balances valued based on best-estimate cash flows, adjusted to reflect the time value of money, with the addition of a risk margin to reflect the uncertainty in the underlying cash flows. The ECR shall at all times equal or exceed the Class 4 insurer’s MSM and may be adjusted in circumstances where the BMA concludes that the insurer’s risk profile deviates significantly from the assumptions underlying its ECR on the insurer’s assessment of its risk management policies and practices used to calculate the ECR applicable to it.

The BSCR model is a risk-based capital model which provides a method for determining a Class 4 insurer’s capital requirements (statutory economic capital and surplus) by taking into account the risk characteristics of different aspects of the Class 4 insurer’s business. The BSCR formula establishes capital requirements for 10 categories of risk: fixed income investment risk, equity investment risk, interest rate/liquidity risk, currency risk, concentration risk, premium risk, reserve risk, credit risk, catastrophe risk and operational risk. For each category, the capital requirement is determined by applying risk factors to asset, premium, reserve, creditor, PML and operation items, with higher risk factors applied to items with greater underlying risk and lower factors for less risky items.

While not specifically referred to in the Insurance Act, the BMA has also established a target capital level ("TCL") applicable to Class 4 insurers, equal to 120% of its ECR. While Class 4 insurers are not currently required to maintain their statutory capital and surplus at this level, the TCL serves as an early warning tool for the BMA. Failure to maintain statutory capital at least equal to the TCL will likely result in increased regulatory oversight.

28


A Class 4 insurer which at any time fails to meet its MSM requirements must, upon becoming aware of such failure or having reason to believe that such a failure has occurred, immediately notify the BMA and, within 14 days thereafter, file a written report with the BMA containing particulars of the circumstances that gave rise to the failure and setting out its plan detailing specific actions to be taken and the expected time frame in which the company intends to rectify the failure.

A Class 4 insurer which at any time fails to meet the enhanced capital requirement applicable to it shall upon becoming aware of that failure, or of having reason to believe that such a failure has occurred, immediately notify the BMA in writing and within 14 days of such notification file with the BMA a written report containing particulars of the circumstances leading to the failure; and a plan detailing the manner, specific actions to be taken and time within which the insurer intends to rectify the failure, and within 45 days of becoming aware of that failure, or of having reason to believe that such a failure has occurred, furnish the BMA with (i) unaudited statutory economic balance sheets and unaudited interim statutory financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP covering such period as the BMA may require; (ii) the opinion of a loss reserve specialist in relation to total general business insurance technical provisions as set out in the statutory economic balance sheet, where applicable; (iii) a general business solvency certificate in respect of the financial statements; and (iv) a capital and solvency return reflecting an enhanced capital requirement prepared using post failure data where applicable.

Eligible Capital

To enable the BMA to better assess the quality of the Class 4 insurer’s capital resources, a Class 4 insurer is required to disclose the makeup of its capital in accordance with the "3-tiered eligible capital system." Under this system, all of the Class 4 insurer’s capital instruments will be classified as either basic or ancillary capital, which in turn will be classified into one of three tiers based on their "loss absorbency" characteristics. Highest quality capital will be classified as Tier 1 Capital; lesser quality capital will be classified as either Tier 2 Capital or Tier 3 Capital. Under this regime, up to certain specified percentages of Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 Capital may be used to support the Class 4 insurer’s MSM, ECR and TCL.

The characteristics of the capital instruments that must be satisfied to qualify as Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 Capital are set out in the Insurance (Eligible Capital) Rules 2012 and any amendments thereto. From January 1, 2026, Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 Capital may no longer include capital instruments that do not satisfy the requirement that the instrument be non-redeemable or settled only with the issuance of an instrument of equal or higher quality upon a breach, or if it would cause a breach, of the ECR.

Where the BMA has previously approved the use of certain instruments for capital purposes, the BMA’s consent will need to be obtained if such instruments are to remain eligible for use in satisfying the MSM and the ECR.

Insurance Code of Conduct

All Bermuda insurers are required to comply with the BMA’s Insurance Code of Conduct (the "Insurance Code"), which establishes the duties, requirements and standards to be complied with to ensure each insurer implements sound corporate governance, risk management and internal controls. The BMA will assess an insurer’s compliance with the Insurance Code in a proportional manner relative to the nature, scale and complexity of its business. Failure to comply with the requirements of the Insurance Code will be taken into account by the BMA in determining whether an insurer is conducting its business in a sound and prudent manner as prescribed by the Insurance Act, may result in the BMA exercising its powers of intervention and investigation (see below) and will be a factor in calculating the operational risk charge under the insurer’s BSCR or approved internal model.

Cancellation of Insurer’s Registration

An insurer’s registration may be cancelled by the BMA at the request of the insurer or on certain grounds specified in the Insurance Act. Failure by the insurer to comply with its obligations under the Insurance Act or, if the BMA believes that the insurer has not been carrying on business in accordance with sound insurance principles, would be examples of such grounds.

Restrictions on Dividends and Distributions

A Class 4 insurer is prohibited from declaring or paying a dividend if it is in breach of its MSM or minimum liquidity ratio or if the declaration or payment of such dividend would cause such a breach. Where an insurer fails to meet its MSM or minimum liquidity ratio on the last day of any financial year, it will be prohibited from declaring or paying any dividends during the next
29


financial year without the approval of the BMA. Further, any insurer that fails to comply with its ECR is also prohibited from declaring and paying any dividends until the failure has been rectified.

In addition, a Class 4 insurer is prohibited from declaring or paying in any financial year dividends of more than 25% of its total statutory capital and surplus (as shown on its previous financial year’s statutory balance sheet) unless it files (at least seven days before payment of such dividends) with the BMA an affidavit signed by at least two directors (one of whom must be a Bermuda resident director if any of the insurer’s directors are resident in Bermuda) and the insurer’s principal representative stating that it will continue to meet its solvency margin and minimum liquidity ratio. Where such an affidavit is filed, it shall be available for public inspection at the offices of the BMA.

Reduction of Capital

No Class 4 insurer may reduce its total statutory capital by 15% or more, as set out in its previous year’s financial statements, unless it has received the prior approval of the BMA. Total statutory capital consists of the insurer’s paid-in share capital, its contributed surplus (sometimes called additional paid-in capital) and any other fixed capital designated by the BMA as statutory capital (such as letters of credit).

A Class 4 insurer seeking to reduce its total statutory capital by 15% or more, as set out in its previous year’s financial statements, is also required to submit an affidavit signed by at least two directors (one of whom must be a Bermuda resident director if any of the insurer’s directors is resident in Bermuda) and the insurer’s principal representative stating that the proposed reduction will not cause the insurer to fail its relevant margins and such other information as the BMA may require. Where such an affidavit is filed, it shall be available for public inspection at the offices of the BMA.

Fit and Proper Controllers

The BMA maintains supervision over the controllers (as defined herein) of all registered insurers in Bermuda. For so long as shares of the Company are listed on the NYSE or another recognized stock exchange, the Insurance Act requires that the BMA be notified in writing within 45 days of any person becoming, or ceasing to be, a controller.

A controller includes (i) the managing director of the registered insurer or its parent company; (ii) the chief executive of the registered insurer or of its parent company; (iii) a shareholder controller (as defined below); and (iv) any person in accordance with whose directions or instructions the directors of the registered insurer or of its parent company are accustomed to act. The BMA may object to a controller and require the controller to reduce its shareholdings and direct, among other things, that voting rights attached to the shares shall not be exercisable.

The definition of shareholder controller is set out in the Insurance Act but generally refers to (i) a person who holds 10% or more of the shares carrying rights to vote at a shareholders’ meeting of the registered insurer or its parent company, (ii) a person who is entitled to exercise 10% or more of the voting power at any shareholders’ meeting of such registered insurer or its parent company, or (iii) a person who is able to exercise significant influence over the management of the registered insurer or its parent company by virtue of its shareholding or its entitlement to exercise, or control the exercise of the voting power at any shareholders’ meeting.

A shareholder controller that owns 10% or more but less than 20% of the shares as described above is defined as a 10% shareholder controller; a shareholder controller that owns 20% or more but less than 33% of the shares as described above is defined as a 20% shareholder controller; a shareholder controller that owns 33% or more but less than 50% of the shares as described above is defined as a 33% shareholder controller; and a shareholder controller that owns 50% or more of the shares as described above is defined as a 50% shareholder controller.

Where the shares of the registered insurer, or the shares of its parent company, are traded on a recognized stock exchange, and a person becomes a 10%, 20%, 33% or 50% shareholder controller of the insurer, that person shall, within 45 days, notify the BMA in writing that he has become such a controller. In addition, a person who is a shareholder controller of a Class 4 insurer whose shares or the shares of its parent company (if any) are traded on a recognized stock exchange must serve on the BMA a notice in writing that he has reduced or disposed of his holding in the insurer where the proportion of voting rights in the insurer held by him will have reached or has fallen below 10%, 20%, 33% or 50%, as the case may be, not later than 45 days after such disposal.

30


Where the shares of an insurer, or the shares of its parent company, are not traded on a recognized stock exchange (i.e., private companies), the Insurance Act prohibits a person from becoming a shareholder controller unless he has first served on the BMA notice in writing stating that he intends to become such a controller and the BMA has either, before the end of 45 days following the date of notification, provided that notice to the proposed controller that it does not object to his becoming such a controller or the full 45 days has elapsed without the BMA serving an objection. Where neither the shares of the insurer nor the shares of its parent company (if any) are traded on a recognized stock exchange, the Insurance Act prohibits a person who is a shareholder controller of a Class 4 insurer from reducing or disposing of his holdings where the proportion of voting rights held by the shareholder controller in the insurer will reach or fall below 10%, 20%, 33% or 50%, as the case may be, unless that shareholder controller has served on the BMA a notice in writing stating that he intends to reduce or dispose of such holding.

Any person who contravenes the Insurance Act by failing to give notice or knowingly becoming a shareholder controller of any description before the required 45 days has elapsed is guilty of an offense and liable to a fine of $25,000.

Notification by Registered Person of Change of Controllers and Officers

All registered insurers are required to give written notice to the BMA of the fact that a person has become, or ceased to be, a controller or officer of the registered insurer within 45 days of becoming aware of such fact. An officer in relation to a registered insurer means a director, chief executive or senior executive performing duties of underwriting, actuarial, risk management, compliance, internal audit, finance or investment matters.

The BMA may issue a notice of objection to any person who is a controller of any description where it appears that such person is not, or is no longer, a fit and proper person to be a controller of the registered entity. Before issuing a notice of objection, the BMA is required to serve upon the person concerned a preliminary written notice stating the BMA’s intention to issue formal notice of objection. Upon receipt of the preliminary written notice, the person served may, within 28 days, file written representations with the BMA which shall be taken into account by the BMA in making its final determination. Any person who continues to be a controller of any description after having received a notice of objection shall be guilty of an offense and shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine of $25,000 (and a continuing fine of $500 per day for each day that the offense is continuing) or, if convicted on indictment, to a fine of $100,000 and/or two years in prison.

Notification of Material Changes

All registered insurers are required to give notice to the BMA of their intention to effect a material change within the meaning of the Insurance Act. For the purposes of the Insurance Act, the following changes are material: (i) the transfer or acquisition of insurance business being part of a scheme falling under section 25 of the Insurance Act or section 99 of the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda (the "Companies Act"), (ii) the amalgamation with or acquisition of another firm, (iii) engaging in unrelated business that is retail business, (iv) the acquisition of a controlling interest in an undertaking that is engaged in non-insurance business which offers services and products to persons who are not affiliates of the insurer, (v) outsourcing all or substantially all of the company’s actuarial, risk management, compliance or internal audit functions, (vi) outsourcing all or a material part of an insurer’s underwriting activity, (vii) the transfer other than by way of reinsurance of all or substantially all of a line of business, (viii) the expansion into a material new line of business, (ix) the sale of an insurer, and (x) outsourcing of an officer’s role.

No registered insurer shall take any steps to give effect to a material change unless it has first served notice on the BMA that it intends to effect such material change and before the end of 30 days, either the BMA has notified such company in writing that it has no objection to such change or that period has lapsed without the BMA having issued a notice of objection.

Disclosure of Information

In addition to powers under the Insurance Act to investigate the affairs of an insurer, the BMA may require certain information from an insurer (or certain other persons) to be produced to the BMA. Further, the BMA has been given powers to assist other regulatory authorities, including foreign insurance regulatory authorities, with their investigations involving insurance companies in Bermuda if it is satisfied that the assistance being requested is in connection with the discharge of regulatory responsibilities and that such cooperation is in the public interest.

Recovery Planning

The BMA may require a Class 4 insurer to prepare and maintain a formal recovery plan setting out, among other things, the various methods proposed to be utilized by the insurer to enable it to recover from severe stress scenarios. Any requirement to prepare a recovery plan will take into account the nature, scale, complexity and risk profile of the insurance business conducted by the insurer. A copy of the recovery plan must be filed with the BMA and updated at least once every three years or following a material change in the financial position, strategy, business or risk profile of the insurer.

Insurance Agent Reporting Requirements

The BMA’s Insurance Brokers and Insurance Agents Code of Conduct requires insurance agents to file an insurance agents return, which requires, among other matters, details around directors and officers of the insurance agent, services provided by the agent and details of the insurers for which the agent has been appointed. In addition, under the Insurance Act, insurance agents are required to notify the BMA of certain events, such as failure to comply with a condition imposed upon them by the BMA or the occurrence of a cyber reporting event.

Group Supervision

The BMA acts as group supervisor of our group of insurance and reinsurance companies (the "Regulatory Group") and has designated Hamilton Re as the designated insurer for group supervisory and solvency purposes ("Designated Insurer"). As the Designated Insurer, Hamilton Re is required to facilitate compliance by the Regulatory Group with group insurance solvency and supervision rules.

As group supervisor, the BMA performs a number of supervisory functions, including (i) coordinating the gathering and dissemination of information which is of importance for the supervisory task of other competent authorities; (ii) carrying out a supervisory review and assessment of the Regulatory Group; (iii) carrying out an assessment of the Regulatory Group’s compliance with the rules on solvency, risk concentration, intra-group transactions and good governance procedures; (iv) planning and coordinating, with other competent authorities, supervisory activities in respect of the Regulatory Group, both as a going concern and in emergency situations; (v) coordinating any enforcement action that may need to be taken against the Regulatory Group or any of its members; and (vi) planning and coordinating meetings of colleges of supervisors (consisting of insurance regulators) in order to facilitate the carrying out of the functions described above.

In carrying out its functions, the BMA makes rules for (i) assessing the financial situation and the solvency position of the Regulatory Group and/or its members and (ii) regulating intra-group transactions, risk concentration, governance procedures, risk management and regulatory reporting and disclosure.

The Insurance Amendment (No. 2) Act 2025 became operative on January 7, 2026 and embeds certain measures of the Common Framework for the Supervision of Internationally Active Insurance Groups adopted by the International Association of Insurance Supervisors into the Insurance Act, including risk-based insurance capital standards and a requirement for insurance groups to maintain a recovery plan. Among the changes adopted is a new power enabling the BMA, in specified circumstances, to assess the effectiveness of group supervision of an insurance group and determine whether it is appropriate to cancel the designation and registration of the Designated Insurer and designate and register an insurance holding company as the 'designated insurance holding company' for the insurance group, to assume the role and responsibilities currently assigned to the Designated Insurer. Once an insurance holding company is so designated and registered, the provisions of the Insurance Act applicable to a Designated Insurer, including the BMA's power to issue directions, apply to that holding company, with any necessary modifications. If these measures were applied to us, the BMA could take actions that have a direct impact on the Company and could result in increased compliance costs.

Group Solvency and Group Supervision

The current supervision and solvency rules (together, "Group Rules") apply to the Regulatory Group so long as the BMA remains our group supervisor. Through the Group Rules, the BMA may take action which affects the Company. A summary of the Group Rules and the provisions of the Insurance Act that apply to the Regulatory Group is set forth below.

32


Approved Group Actuary

Hamilton Re, as Designated Insurer, is responsible for ensuring that the Regulatory Group appoints an individual approved by the BMA to be the group actuary who is qualified to provide an opinion on the Regulatory Group’s technical provisions.

Annual Group Financial Statements

The Regulatory Group is required to prepare and submit, on an annual basis, consolidated financial statements (including notes to the financial statements) prepared in accordance with either GAAP or IFRS. The group financial statements must be audited annually by the Regulatory Group’s approved auditor who is required to prepare an auditor’s report thereon in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. In addition, the Regulatory Group must prepare statutory financial statements (which include, in statutory form, a balance sheet, an income statement, a statement of capital and surplus, and notes thereto). The Designated Insurer is required to file with the BMA the statutory financial statements and the audited GAAP or IFRS financial statements for the Regulatory Group with the BMA within five months from the end of the relevant financial year (unless specifically extended).

Annual Insurance Group Statutory Financial Return

The Regulatory Group is required to prepare an annual Group Statutory Financial Return consisting of (i) an insurance group solvency certificate, (ii) particulars of ceded reinsurance comprising the top 10 unaffiliated reinsurers for which the group has the highest recoverable balances and any reinsurer with recoverable balances exceeding 15% of the insurance group’s statutory capital and surplus, (iii) any adjustments to the group financial statements to produce the economic balance sheet (i.e., a reconciliation), (iv) a list of non-insurance financial regulated entities owned by the group, and (v) particulars of qualifying members of the group as defined within the Group Rules. The annual insurance Group Statutory Financial Return must be submitted to the BMA by the Designated Insurer within five months after the financial year end (unless specifically extended).

Annual Insurance Group Capital and Solvency Return

The Regulatory Group is required to prepare an annual Group Capital and Solvency Return which includes the Group Solvency Self-Assessment ("GSSA"), Group BSCR and associated Schedules, including an annual opinion of the Group Actuary on the EBS technical provisions. The Group Capital and Solvency Return must be submitted to the BMA by the Designated Insurer within five months after the financial year end (unless specifically extended). The Designated Insurer must keep a copy of the Regulatory Group’s financial statements (together with the notes to those statements and the auditor’s report thereon), statutory financial statements and the Group Statutory Financial Return at its principal office for a period of five years.

The GSSA assesses the quality and quantity of capital required to adequately cover the risks to which the insurance group is exposed. In particular, the GSSA should, among other things, include consideration of the relationship between risk management, the quality and quantity of capital resources, the impact of risk mitigation techniques and diversification and correlation effects between material risks; describe the Regulatory Group’s risk appetite; be forward-looking; include appropriate stress and scenario testing and adequately reflect all assets and liabilities, material off-balance sheet arrangements, material intragroup transactions, relevant managerial practices, systems and controls and a valuation basis that is aligned with the risk characteristics and business model of the group.

Quarterly Group Financial Return

The Designated Insurer is required to file Quarterly Financial Returns for the Regulatory Group with the BMA on or before the last day of the months of May, August and November of each year. The quarterly Group Financial Return consists of (i) quarterly unaudited (consolidated) group financial statements in respect of its business for each financial quarter (which must not reflect a financial position that exceeds two months), (ii) a list and details of material intra-group transactions and risk concentrations, including details surrounding all intra-group reinsurance and retrocession arrangements and other intra-group risk transfer insurance business arrangements, and details of the 10 largest exposures to unaffiliated counterparties and any other unaffiliated counterparty exposures or series of linked unaffiliated counterparty exposures exceeding 10% of the Regulatory Group’s statutory capital and surplus, (iii) Enhanced Capital Requirement ratio, (iv) Total Quoted Bonds and Unquoted Bonds by BSCR rating, and (vi) details of the catastrophe events that occurred during the reporting period (if applicable).


33



Public Disclosures

All insurance groups are required to prepare and file with the BMA, and also publish on their website, a Financial Condition Report. An insurance group that does not have a website must furnish to the public a copy of the Financial Condition Report within 10 days of receipt of a request to do so made in writing. The Designated Insurer must keep copies of the Financial Condition Report at its head office for a period of five years beginning from the filing date.

Group Minimum Solvency Margin and Group Enhanced Capital Requirement

The Regulatory Group is also required to maintain available statutory economic capital and surplus in an amount that is at least equal to or exceeds the value of its group ECR (the "Group ECR"), provided that the Group ECR shall at all times be an amount equal to or exceeding the group minimum solvency margin (the "Group MSM"). The BMA has established a group target capital level equal to 120% of Group ECR. In addition, under the tiered capital requirements, all of the Regulatory Group’s capital instruments will be classified as either basic or ancillary capital which in turn will be classified into one of three tiers based on their "loss absorbency" characteristics. Highest quality capital will be classified Tier 1 Capital, and lesser quality capital will be classified as either Tier 2 or Tier 3 Capital. A minimum threshold of Tier 1 Capital and maximum thresholds of Tier 2 and Tier 3 Capital used to satisfy the Group MSM and Group ECR requirements are specified under the rules. From January 1, 2026, Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 Capital may no longer include capital instruments that do not satisfy the requirement that the instrument be nonredeemable or settled only with the issuance of an instrument of equal or higher quality upon a breach, or if it would cause a breach, of the ECR.

Group Governance

The Group Rules require the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Parent Board" or "Board") to establish and effectively implement corporate governance policies and procedures, which must be periodically reviewed to ensure they continue to support the overall organizational strategy of the Regulatory Group. In particular, the Parent Board must:

•ensure that operational and oversight responsibilities of the group are clearly defined and documented and that the reporting of material deficiencies and fraudulent activities are transparent and devoid of conflicts of interest;
•establish systems for identifying, on a risk-sensitive basis, those policies and procedures that must be reviewed annually and those policies and procedures that must be reviewed at other regular intervals;
•establish a risk management and internal controls framework and ensure that it is assessed regularly and such assessment is reported to the Parent Board, the chief executive officer and senior executives;
•establish and maintain sound accounting and financial reporting procedures and practices for the Regulatory Group; and
•establish and keep under review group functions relating to actuarial, compliance, internal audit and risk management functions which must address certain specific requirements as set out in the Group Rules.

34


Designated Insurer Notification Obligations

The Designated Insurer must notify the BMA upon reaching a view that there is a likelihood of the Regulatory Group or any member of the Regulatory Group becoming insolvent or that a reportable "event" has, to the Designated Insurer’s knowledge, occurred or is believed to have occurred. Examples of a reportable "event" include a failure by the Regulatory Group or any member of the Regulatory Group to comply substantially with a requirement imposed upon it under the Group Rules relating to its solvency position, governance and risk management or supervisory reporting and disclosures; failure by the Designated Insurer to comply with a direction given to it under the Insurance Act in respect of the group or any of its members; a criminal conviction imposed upon any member of the Regulatory Group whether in Bermuda or abroad; material breaches of any statutory requirements by any member of the Regulatory Group located outside of Bermuda that could lead to supervisory or enforcement action by a competent authority; or a significant loss that is reasonably likely to cause the Regulatory Group to be unable to comply with its Group ECR. Within 30 days of such notification to the BMA, the Designated Insurer must furnish the BMA with a written report setting out all the particulars of the case that are available to it and within 45 days it must furnish a Regulatory Group capital and solvency return that reflects the Group ECR that has been prepared using post-loss data and unaudited interim statutory financial statements for such period as the BMA shall require together with a declaration of solvency in respect thereof. The Designated Insurer must also notify the BMA in writing within 14 days of becoming aware that a requirement of the Group Rules conflicts with the laws of another jurisdiction where a member of the Regulatory Group operates.

The Designated Insurer is required to notify the BMA if any member of the Regulatory Group intends to acquire or amalgamate with another firm. Except in certain limited circumstances, the acquisition or amalgamation may not proceed unless, within 30 days from the date the notice is served, either the BMA has confirmed in writing that it has no objection, or the 30‑day period has expired without the BMA issuing a notice of objection.

In addition, the Designated Insurer is required to notify the BMA if any member of the Regulatory Group effects certain material changes within the meaning of the Insurance Act within 30 days of such material change taking effect.

The following events constitute material changes that must be notified to the BMA: (i) engaging in unrelated business that is retail business, (ii) the acquisition of a controlling interest in an undertaking that is engaged in non-insurance business which offers services and products to persons who are not affiliates, (iii) outsourcing all or substantially all of the actuarial, risk management, compliance or internal audit functions, (iv) outsourcing all or a material part of underwriting activities, (v) the transfer other than by way of reinsurance of all or substantially all of a line of business, (vi) the expansion into a material new line of business, and (vii) the sale of an insurer.

In addition, the Designated Insurer is required to give written notice to the BMA of the fact that a person has become, or ceased to be, a controller or officer of the parent company of the Regulatory Group within 45 days of becoming aware of such fact.

If it appears to the BMA that the Designated Insurer is in breach of any provision of the Insurance Act or the Group Rules, the BMA may give the Designated Insurer such directions as appear to the BMA to be desirable for safeguarding the interests of policyholders and potential policyholders of the Regulatory Group.

Supervision, Investigation, Intervention and Disclosure

The BMA may, by notice in writing served on a registered person or a Designated Insurer, require the registered person or a Designated Insurer to provide such information and/or documentation as the BMA may reasonably require with respect to matters that are likely to be material to the performance of its supervisory functions under the Insurance Act. In addition, it may require such person’s auditor, underwriter, accountant or any other person with relevant professional skill to prepare a report on any aspect pertaining thereto. In the case of a report, the person so appointed shall immediately give the BMA written notice of any fact or matter of which he becomes aware or which indicates to him that any condition attaching to his registration under the Insurance Act is not or has not or may not be or may not have been fulfilled and that such matters are likely to be material to the performance of its functions under the Insurance Act. If it appears to the BMA to be desirable in the interests of the clients of a registered person or relevant insurance group, the BMA may also exercise these powers in relation to subsidiaries, parent companies and other affiliates of the registered person or designated insurer.

35


If the BMA deems it necessary to protect the interests of the policyholders or potential policyholders of an insurer or insurance group, it may appoint one or more competent persons to investigate and report on the nature, conduct or state of the insurer’s or the insurance group’s business, or any aspect thereof, or the ownership or control of the insurer or insurance group. If the person so appointed thinks it necessary for the purposes of his investigation, he may also investigate the business of any person who is, or has been at any relevant time, a member of the insurance group or of a partnership of which the person being investigated is a member. In this regard, it shall be the duty of every person who is or was a controller, officer, employee, agent, banker, auditor, accountant, barrister and attorney or insurance manager, broker, agent or insurance marketplace provider (as applicable), of the insurer or the insurance group to produce to the person appointed such documentation as he may reasonably require for purposes of his investigation, to attend and answer questions relevant to the investigation and to otherwise provide such assistance as may be necessary in connection therewith.

Where the BMA suspects that a person has failed to properly register under the Insurance Act or that a registered person or designated insurer has failed to comply with a requirement of the Insurance Act or that a person is not, or is no longer, a fit and proper person to perform functions in relation to a regulated activity, it may, by notice in writing, carry out an investigation into such person (or any other person connected thereto). In connection therewith, the BMA may require every person who is or was a controller, officer, employee, agent, banker, auditor, accountant, barrister and attorney or insurance manager, broker, agent or insurance marketplace provider (as applicable) of the insurer or the insurance group, or any person appointed by the BMA to make a report in respect of an insurer or insurance group, to produce such documents in his custody and control, to attend before the BMA to answer questions relevant to the BMA’s investigation and to take such actions as the BMA may direct in connection with the investigation. The BMA may also enter any premises for the purposes of carrying out its investigation and may petition the court for a warrant if it believes a person has failed to comply with a notice served on him or there are reasonable grounds for suspecting the completeness of any information or documentation produced in response to such notice or that its directions will not be complied with or that any relevant documents would be removed, tampered with or destroyed.

If it appears to the BMA that the business of the registered insurer is being conducted in a way that there is a significant risk of the insurer becoming insolvent or being unable to meet its obligations to policyholders, or that the insurer is in breach of the Insurance Act or any conditions imposed upon its registration, or the minimum criteria stipulated in the Insurance Act is not or has not been fulfilled in respect of a registered insurer, or that a person has become a controller without providing the BMA with the appropriate notice or in contravention of a notice of objection, or the registered insurer is in breach of its ECR, or that a designated insurer is in breach of any provision of the Insurance Act or the regulations or rules applicable to it, the BMA may issue such directions as it deems desirable for safeguarding the interests of policyholders or potential policyholders of the insurer or the insurance group. The BMA may, among other things, direct an insurer, for itself and in its capacity as designated insurer of the insurance group of which it is a member, (1) not to effect further contracts of insurance, or any contract of insurance of a specified description, (2) to limit the aggregate premiums to be written by it during the specified period, (3) not to vary any insurance contract if the effect would be to increase the insurer’s liabilities, (4) not to make certain investments, (5) to realize certain investments, (6) not to declare or pay any dividends or other distributions or to restrict the making of such payments, (7) not to enter into specified transactions with any specified person or persons of a specified class, (8) to provide such written particulars relating to the financial circumstances of the insurer as the BMA thinks fit, (9) (as an individual insurer only and not in its capacity as designated insurer) to obtain the opinion of a loss reserve specialist and submit it to the BMA and/or (10) to remove a controller or officer.

The BMA has the power to assist other regulatory authorities, including foreign insurance regulatory authorities, with their investigations involving insurance and reinsurance companies in Bermuda if it is satisfied that the assistance being requested is in connection with the discharge of regulatory responsibilities and that such cooperation is in the public interest. The grounds for disclosure by the BMA to a foreign regulatory authority without consent of the insurer are limited and the Insurance Act provides for sanctions for breach of the statutory duty of confidentiality.

36


Corporate Income Tax Act

On December 27, 2023, Bermuda enacted the Corporate Income Tax Act 2023 (the "CIT Act"), which imposes corporate income tax on certain Bermuda-based entities for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2025. Subject to certain exceptions, if the entity is a member of a multi-national enterprise ("MNE") group that has entities in more than one jurisdiction and that has consolidated revenues of at least 750 million euros for two of the four previous fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2025, corporate income tax will be chargeable at a rate of 15% of the net taxable income of the Bermuda constituent entities in the MNE group less applicable tax credits (regardless of any assurance given pursuant to the Exempted Undertakings Tax Protection Act 1966). Although we believe that the Company is eligible for deferred application of the CIT Act until 2030 due to an exemption available to MNE groups that operate in six or less jurisdictions and have less than 50 million euros in tangible assets, we cannot guarantee that the Company will not face tax liabilities in the future. For more details, please refer to the section titled "Risk Factors––Risks Related to Taxation––We may become subject to Bermuda corporate income tax under the Corporate Income Tax Act 2023, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations."

Tax Credits Act 2025

On December 11, 2025, Bermuda enacted the Tax Credits Act 2025 (the "Credits Act"), which established: (i) a substance‑based tax credit ("SBTC") for insurance‑led Bermuda groups, (ii) a utilities infrastructure tax credit for regulated utility providers, and (iii) a community development tax credit for non‑individual taxpayers. Credits may be used to offset Bermuda corporate income tax and, for entities not subject to Bermuda corporate income tax in a given year, the Credits Act provides for amounts to be paid to the filing group entity (including through the tax refund reserve framework), subject to the Credits Act’s requirements.

The SBTC is available to a Bermuda corporate group that includes at least one insurer licensed under the Insurance Act and derives more than 50% of its group revenue from such insurer(s). The SBTC consists of job‑based and expense‑based components referencing eligible Bermuda payroll and Bermuda‑sourced expenditures, and is phased in via a transition factor of 50% for fiscal years beginning in 2025, 75% for 2026, and 100% for 2027.

We currently expect to qualify for the SBTC and are continuing to evaluate the Credits Act and related guidance in light of our anticipated CIT Act exemption. The availability, utilization and timing of any benefit (including refunds or payments) are subject to the Credits Act, future regulations and guidance, the funding and operation of any relevant government reserve, and changes in our operations.

Economic Substance Act

In December 2018, the Economic Substance Act 2018 (the "ESA") came into effect in Bermuda. Under the provisions of the ESA, every Bermuda registered entity other than an entity which is resident for tax purposes in certain jurisdictions outside of Bermuda that carries on one or more "relevant activities" referred to in the ESA, and from which it earns gross revenue, must satisfy economic substance requirements by maintaining a substantial economic presence in Bermuda. Under the ESA, insurance and holding entity activities (both as defined in the ESA and Economic Substance Regulations 2018) are relevant activities. To the extent that the ESA applies to any of our entities registered in Bermuda, we will be required to demonstrate compliance with economic substance requirements by filing an annual economic substance declaration with the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda. Any entity that must satisfy economic substance requirements but fails to do so could face automatic disclosure to competent authorities in the E.U. of the information filed by the entity with the Bermuda Registrar of Companies in connection with the economic substance requirements and may also face financial penalties, restriction or regulation of its business activities and/or may be struck off as a registered entity in Bermuda.

Cyber Code and Reporting Events

In October 2020, the BMA issued the Insurance Sector Operational Cyber Risk Management Code of Conduct ("Cyber Code") which applies to all registered insurers, insurance managers and intermediaries (e.g., agents, brokers, insurance marketplace providers). The Cyber Code establishes duties, requirements, standards, procedures and principles to be complied with in relation to operational cyber risk management and is designed to promote the stable and secure management of information technology systems of regulated entities.

37


The principal representative is required to notify the BMA within seventy-two (72) hours of determining or confirming that a cyber reporting event has occurred. Within fourteen (14) days of such notification, the principal representative must also provide the BMA with a written report detailing all information then available regarding the incident. The Insurance Act defines a cyber reporting event as being any act that results in the unauthorized access to, disruption or misuse of the electronic systems or information stored on such systems of a licensed undertaking, including any breach of security leading to the loss or unlawful destruction or unauthorized disclosure of or access to such systems or information, where (i) a cyber reporting event has the likelihood of adversely impacting policyholders or clients; (ii) an insurer has reached a view that there is a likelihood that loss of its system availability will have an adverse impact on its insurance business; (iii) an insurer has reached the view that there is a likelihood that the integrity of its information or data has been compromised and may have an adverse impact on its insurance business; (iv) an insurer has become aware that there is a likelihood that there has been unauthorized access to its information systems whereby such access would have an adverse impact on its insurance business; or (v) an event has occurred for which a notice is required to be provided to a regulatory body or governmental agency. Cyber reporting events are only reportable to the BMA where the event results in a significant adverse impact to the regulated entity’s operations, its policyholders or clients.

Certain Other Bermuda Law Considerations

All Bermuda companies must comply with the provisions of the Companies Act regulating the payment of dividends and making of distributions from contributed surplus. A company is prohibited from declaring or paying a dividend, or making a distribution out of contributed surplus, if there are reasonable grounds for believing that (i) the company is, or would after the payment be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due; or (ii) the realizable value of the company’s assets would be less than its liabilities.

Under the Company’s Bye-laws, each common share is entitled to dividends if, and when, dividends are declared by the Board of Directors, subject to any preferred dividend rights of the holders of any preference shares. Issued share capital is the aggregate par value of the company’s issued shares, and the share premium account is the aggregate amount paid for issued shares over and above their par value. Share premium accounts may be reduced in certain limited circumstances. In addition, the Companies Act regulates return of capital, reduction of capital and any purchase or redemption of shares by the Company.

Although the Company is incorporated in Bermuda, it has been designated as a non-resident of Bermuda for exchange control purposes by the BMA. Pursuant to its non-resident status, the Company may engage in transactions in currencies other than the Bermuda dollar, and there are no restrictions on its ability to transfer funds (other than funds denominated in Bermuda dollars) in and out of Bermuda or to pay dividends to non-residents who are holders of its common shares in currencies other than the Bermuda dollar.

Under Bermuda law, exempted companies are companies formed for the purpose of conducting business outside Bermuda from a principal place in Bermuda. All Bermuda exempted companies are exempt from certain Bermuda laws restricting the percentage of share capital that may be held by non-Bermudians. However, exempted companies may not, without the express authorization of the Bermuda legislature or under a license or consent granted by the Bermuda Minister, participate in certain business transactions, including (i) the acquisition or holding of land in Bermuda (except that held by way of lease or tenancy agreement which is required for their business and held for a term not exceeding 50 years or which is used to provide accommodation or recreational facilities for their officers and employees and held with the consent of the Bermuda Minister, for a term not exceeding 21 years); (ii) the taking of mortgages on land in Bermuda to secure an amount in excess of BD$50,000; (iii) the acquisition of any bonds or debentures secured by any land in Bermuda, other than bonds or debentures issued by the Bermuda government or a public authority; or (iv) the carrying on of business of any kind for which they are not licensed in Bermuda, except in certain limited circumstances such as doing business with another exempted undertaking in furtherance of their business (as the case may be) carried on outside Bermuda.

Bermuda recently enacted the Beneficial Ownership Act 2025 which introduces enhanced requirements for the identification, verification and ongoing reporting of beneficial owners of Bermuda entities. For so long as shares of the Company are listed on the NYSE or another recognized stock exchange, the Company and each of our Bermuda Operating Companies will be exempt from the substantive requirements of the Beneficial Ownership Act.

38


Bermuda Work Permit Considerations

Under Bermuda law, only persons who are Bermudians, spouses of Bermudians, holders of a permanent resident’s certificate, naturalized British Overseas Territory Citizens or persons who are exempt pursuant to the Incentives for Job Makers Act 2011, as amended ("exempted persons") may engage in gainful occupation in Bermuda without an appropriate governmental work permit. Work permits may be granted or extended by the Bermuda government upon showing that, after proper public advertisement in most cases, no Bermudian (or otherwise exempted person) is available who meets the minimum standard requirements for the advertised position. A waiver from advertising is automatically granted in respect of any chief executive officer position, other chief officer positions, president, managing director or director posts (subject to provision of an organizational chart). Note, notwithstanding recent changes to the Bermuda Work Permit Policy (effective 1 November 2025), waivers from advertising can also be granted where the applicant is uniquely qualified, the position would not exist in Bermuda if not for the expatriate, the success of the business would be detrimentally affected if the applicant were to leave the business or the expatriate is integral and key to income generation by brokering deals or attracting/retaining clients.

Bermuda Data Protection Legislation

As of January 1, 2025, the Company and our Bermuda incorporated subsidiaries have certain duties and obligations under the Personal Information Protection Act 2016 of Bermuda ("PIPA") concerning the collection and use in Bermuda of an individual's personal information. PIPA is based on internationally accepted principles of privacy and data protection. Oversight and enforcement of PIPA is the responsibility of the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Bermuda. A breach of PIPA by the Company could lead to inquiry or enforcement actions by the Privacy Commissioner, suits for civil remedies by individuals brought in a Court of competent jurisdiction, or in criminal prosecutions brought by the Government of Bermuda either as summary or indictable offenses.

U.S. Insurance Regulation

State Regulation

Hamilton Select is subject to extensive regulation and supervision by the State of Delaware, its state of domicile, as well as to varying regulation in those states in which it does business. The purpose of such regulation and supervision is primarily to provide safeguards for policyholders, rather than to protect the interests of shareholders. In general, the insurance laws of the various states establish regulatory agencies with broad administrative powers, including the power to grant or revoke operating licenses and regulate trade practices, investments, premium rates, deposits of securities, the form and content of financial statements and insurance policies, dividend limitations, cancellation and non-renewal of policies, accounting practices and the maintenance of specified reserves and capital for the protection of policyholders. From time to time, states consider and/or enact laws that may alter or increase state authority to regulate insurance companies and insurance holding companies. States also consider or enact laws that impact the competitive environment and marketplace for property-casualty insurance.

The regulation of E&S business differs from the regulation of admitted business. The admitted market is subject to more state regulation than the E&S market, particularly with regard to rate and form filing requirements, restrictions on the ability to exit lines of business, premium tax payments and membership in various state associations, such as guaranty funds. Nevertheless, Hamilton Select is subject to the surplus lines regulation and reporting requirements of the jurisdictions in which it is eligible to write E&S insurance and strict regulations apply to surplus lines placements under the laws of every state. The regulation of E&S insurance may undergo changes in the future.

Insurance Holding Company Regulation

We operate as an insurance holding company and are subject to state statutes and regulations governing insurance holding company systems that are generally based on the National Association of Insurance Commissioner’s ("NAIC") Insurance Holding Company System Regulatory Act and Insurance Holding Company System Model Regulation (together, the "Model Holding Company Act and Regulation"). These vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, but generally require controlled insurance companies (i.e., insurers that are subsidiaries of insurance holding companies) to register with, and periodically furnish information to, state regulatory authorities concerning capital structure, ownership, financial condition, intercompany transactions and general business operations. Delaware, the state in which Hamilton Select is domiciled, has enacted laws to implement these requirements.

39


State insurance holding company laws and regulations impose standards on certain transactions between affiliated companies, which include, amongst other requirements, that all transactions be fair and reasonable, that an insurer’s surplus (as regards policyholders) be reasonable and adequate in relation to its liabilities and that expenses and payments be allocated to the appropriate party in accordance with customary accounting practices. These transactions between affiliated companies include certain transfers of assets, loans, reinsurance agreements, service agreements, dividend payments by insurance companies and certain other material transactions.

State insurance holding company laws, including those of Delaware, require the ultimate controlling person of a U.S. insurer to submit annually, to the lead state of the insurance holding company system, an enterprise risk report. The report must identify the material risks within the insurance holding company system that could pose enterprise risk to the insurer (i.e., activities, circumstances or events involving one or more affiliates of an insurer that, if not remedied properly, are likely to have a material adverse effect upon the financial condition or liquidity of the insurer or its insurance holding company system as a whole).

The NAIC has developed a group capital calculation tool that uses a risk-based capital aggregation methodology for all entities in an insurance holding company system. The goal is to provide U.S. regulators with a method to aggregate the available capital and the minimum capital of each entity in a group in a way that applies to all companies regardless of their structure. The group capital calculation has been adopted by the majority of states, including Delaware, based on the NAIC’s adoption of amendments to the Model Holding Company Act and Regulation providing language for states to use to enable the group capital calculation. We anticipate that such amendments to state insurance holding company laws and regulations adopting the group capital calculation will be broadly adopted in the future because they are subject to an NAIC accreditation standard effective January 1, 2026. In February 2025, the NAIC announced the creation of a new Risk-Based Capital Model Governance (EX) Task Force as part of its efforts to update and strengthen the governance framework around risk-based capital requirements, which task force adopted governing principles in December 2025. The work of the task force is ongoing and could result in changes to risk-based capital requirements and calculations in the future, which could affect our capital planning, investment strategies, reporting obligations and permitted disclosures.

Holding company laws also authorize state insurance commissioners to act as group-wide supervisors for a defined class of internationally active insurance groups. All states, including Delaware, have adopted changes to their holding company laws enhancing group-wide supervision in this manner.

Risk Management and Own Risk and Solvency Assessment

All states, including Delaware, have adopted the NAIC’s Risk Management and Own Risk and Solvency Assessment Model Act ("ORSA Model Act"). The ORSA Model Act requires insurers to maintain a risk management framework and regularly, no less than annually, conduct an Own Risk Solvency Assessment. The ORSA Model Act also requires an insurance holding company system’s Chief Risk Officer to annually submit to the lead state insurance regulator an Own Risk and Solvency Assessment Summary Report, which is a confidential high-level summary of an insurer or insurance group’s Own Risk Solvency Assessment.

Dividend Restrictions

The Delaware laws and regulations limit the aggregate amount of dividends or other distributions that Hamilton Select may declare or pay within any 12-month period without advance regulatory approval.

Investment Regulation

Investments by Hamilton Select are subject to Delaware laws which require diversification of its investment portfolio and limits on the amount of investments in certain categories, and must comply with applicable laws and regulations prescribing the kind, quality and concentration of investments. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations would cause non-conforming investments to be treated as non-admitted assets for purposes of measuring statutory surplus and, in some instances, would require Hamilton Select to sell those investments.

40


Quarterly and Annual Financial Reporting

Hamilton Select is required to file quarterly and annual reports with the Delaware Department of Insurance and with the NAIC using statutory accounting practices, which differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Its business and accounts are subject to examination by such agencies at any time.

Risk-Based Capital

The state insurance regulators utilize a risk-based capital formula to help assess the capital adequacy of insurance companies and identify insurers that are in, or are perceived as approaching, financial difficulty. This model establishes minimum capital needs based on the risks applicable to the operations of the individual insurer. The risk-based capital requirements for property-casualty insurance companies measure three major areas of risk: asset risk, credit risk and underwriting risk. Companies having less statutory surplus than required by the risk-based capital requirements are subject to varying degrees of regulatory scrutiny and intervention, depending on the severity of the inadequacy.

Insurance Regulatory Information System

The NAIC also has developed a set of 13 financial benchmarks for property and casualty insurers referred to as the Insurance Regulatory Information System ("IRIS"). On the basis of statutory financial statements filed with state insurance regulators, the NAIC annually calculates these IRIS ratios to assist state insurance regulators in monitoring the financial condition of insurance companies. The NAIC has established an acceptable range for each of the IRIS ratios and specifies "Unusual Values" for each ratio. Presence of Unusual Values on four or more of the ratios can lead to inquiries from individual state insurance commissioners as to certain aspects of an insurer's business.

In 2025, Hamilton Select reported two Unusual Values being (i) two-year overall operating ratio and (ii) gross change in policyholders' surplus. These Unusual Values were primarily driven by the start-up nature of Hamilton Select as they were primarily related to start-up costs relating to personnel and IT spend, and capital contributions received in 2025. These IRIS ratios are expected to fall within the "Usual Value" range in future years as Hamilton Select moves out of its start-up phase.

Innovation and Technology

As a result of increased innovation and use of technology in the insurance sector, the NAIC and insurance regulators have been focusing on the industry's use of "big data" techniques, such as AI, machine learning and automated decision-making. In December 2023, the NAIC adopted the Model Bulletin on the Use of Artificial Intelligence Systems by Insurers (the "AI Bulletin"). The AI Bulletin may be adopted and issued by state regulators to licensed insurers. In addition to affirming that the use of AI must comply with existing state law, the AI Bulletin sets forth regulators’ expectations on how insurers will develop, acquire and use AI technologies. As of January 6, 2026, twenty-four states and the District of Columbia have adopted the AI bulletin and four states, California, Colorado, New York and Texas, have issued their own guidance or regulations concerning the use of AI by insurers. For example, in July 2024, the New York Department of Financial Services ("NYDFS") issued Insurance Circular Letter No.7 (2024) titled "Use of Artificial Intelligence Systems and External Consumer Data and Information Sources in Insurance Underwriting and Pricing," which is intended to provide guidance to insurers on the responsible use of AI and external consumer data in underwriting and pricing decisions.

In addition, in 2024 the NAIC established the Third-Party Data and Models (H) Task Force which is charged with developing a framework for the regulatory oversight of third-party data and predictive models. Their focus includes evaluating existing frameworks, discussing goals for future regulatory structures and considering the development of new model laws or modifications to existing ones. The NAIC's Big Data and Artificial Intelligence (H) Working Group has a new workstream that is evaluating AI-use outcomes and how well the current regulatory framework addresses potential harms from the use of AI. The goal is to determine whether additional tools, resources and education are needed to effectuate the goals of the AI Bulletin (see above). In July 2025, the working group proposed developing an overall AI system evaluation tool, which has since been opened to comment.

The NAIC and state insurance regulators are also focused on addressing unfair discrimination by insurers in the use of consumer data and technology, and certain states have passed laws or are considering action targeting unfair discrimination practices. For instance, in 2021 Colorado enacted a law which prohibits insurers from using external consumer data and information sources ("ECDIS"), as well as algorithms or predictive models that use ECDIS, in a way that unfairly discriminates based on race, color, national or ethnic origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, disability, gender identity or gender expression.

Cybersecurity, Privacy and Information Security Regulation

We are subject to laws and regulations relating to the collection, use, processing, and protection of personal information. We are also subject to laws and regulations governing the security of information systems and the information stored therein. In response to the growing threat of cyber-attacks in the insurance industry, certain jurisdictions have adopted laws and regulations requiring new or enhanced data protection and cybersecurity measures, which, among other things, require insurance companies to establish, implement and maintain data and cybersecurity programs, including written policies and procedures. For example, in 2017, the NAIC adopted the Insurance Data Security Model Law (the "Cybersecurity Model Law"), intended to serve as model legislation for states to enact in order to govern cybersecurity and data protection practices of insurers and other entities licensed or registered under state insurance laws, and to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information systems. The Cybersecurity Model Law establishes standards for data security, the investigation of cybersecurity events involving the unauthorized access to or misuse of certain nonpublic information, and the reporting obligations regarding cybersecurity events to insurance commissioners. As of February 1, 2025, the Cybersecurity Model Law, or a form thereof, had been adopted by twenty six states. Certain states have adopted their own cybersecurity regulations, such as New York in November 2023 when the NYDFS adopted an amendment to its Part 500 Cybersecurity Regulation which imposes additional certification obligations, enhanced governance requirements, new audit requirements, additional technology and business continuity requirements, enhanced security control and training requirements and new notification obligations. Requirements under the amended NYDFS Cybersecurity Regulation became effective in phases, with the final provisions taking effect on November 1, 2025. Covered entities must certify compliance with the final phases of the NYDFS Cybersecurity Regulation in an annual report due April 15, 2026.

In addition, certain lawmakers and regulators have enacted or are considering laws and regulations related to privacy and data security. For instance, the NAIC is proposing revisions to the Privacy of Consumer Financial and Health Information Model Regulation in order to address emerging privacy concerns and ensure that consumer information is adequately protected in the marketplace. The proposed amendments would expand the definition of nonpublic personal information; add consumer rights to request access, correction and deletion of nonpublic personal information; and add requirements for contracts with third-party service providers. While the NAIC originally anticipated these amendments to the model regulation to be finalized by December 31, 2025, an extension was granted to have these amendments finalized by the 2026 Fall National Meeting in November 2026. A number of states have also adopted data privacy legislation and regulation. California adopted the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 ("CCPA"), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act ("CPRA") in 2022. The CCPA imposes a number of requirements on businesses that collect the personal information of California consumers, including requirements that provide individuals with certain rights to their personal information and make mandatory disclosures regarding how the businesses use and disclose consumers’ personal information, establishes a private right of action in some cases if consumers’ personal information is subject to a data breach as a result of the businesses’ violation of the duty to implement and maintain reasonable security practices and creates the California Privacy Protection Agency, which is charged with drafting and adopting regulations in furtherance of the CCPA and enforcing the CCPA, as amended by the CPRA. Similar consumer privacy legislation has been enacted in other states such as Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut and Utah. While these laws generally do not apply to entities or data subject to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, certain portions of our business may be subject to such requirements.

Various state legislatures, government agencies and self-regulatory bodies, as well as the U.S. federal government, are expected to continue to consider additional laws, regulations and guidelines relating to privacy and other aspects of customer information and to protecting the ongoing confidentiality, availability and integrity of personal information, sensitive non-public information and information systems. These continued changes in the U.S. privacy and cybersecurity regulatory landscape will require additional compliance investment, including changes to policies, procedures, information systems and operations.

Credit for Reinsurance

State insurance laws permit U.S. insurance companies, as ceding insurers, to take financial statement credit for business that is ceded, so long as the assuming reinsurer satisfies the state’s credit for reinsurance laws. There are several ways that the credit for reinsurance laws may be satisfied by an assuming reinsurer, including by being licensed in the state, being accredited in the state or maintaining certain types of qualifying collateral.

Under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the "Dodd-Frank Act"), which established the Federal Insurance Office (the "FIO") within the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the "Treasury"), the FIO has preemption authority over state insurance laws that conflict with certain international agreements such as state credit for reinsurance laws
42


that result in non-U.S. reinsurers subject to such agreements being treated less favorably than U.S. reinsurers. The NAIC previously adopted amendments to its Credit for Reinsurance Model Law to satisfy the substantive and timing requirements of such Covered Agreements (as further defined below), which amendments have been enacted by all states. Under the Covered Agreements, reinsurance collateral requirements no longer apply to qualifying EU and U.K. reinsurers. The amended Credit for Reinsurance Model Law also extends the zero reinsurance collateral provisions in the Covered Agreements to qualified reinsurers domiciled in U.S. jurisdictions that are accredited by the NAIC and to non-U.S. jurisdictions that have not entered into a Covered Agreement with the United States but which the NAIC has identified as "reciprocal jurisdictions" pursuant to the NAIC Qualified Jurisdiction Process.

Climate Change and Financial Risks

The NAIC and state insurance regulators continue to evaluate issues related to the management of climate risk. In 2022, the NAIC adopted a new standard for insurance companies to report their climate-related risks as part of its annual Climate Risk Disclosure Survey, which applies to insurers that meet the reporting threshold of $100 million in U.S. direct premium and are licensed in one of the participating jurisdictions. In addition, pursuant to the FIO’s statutory authority under the Dodd-Frank Act, as discussed above under "Federal Regulation," the FIO is assessing how the insurance sector may mitigate climate risks and help achieve national climate-related goals. In June 2023, the FIO released a report titled Insurance Supervision and Regulation of Climate-Related Risks urging insurance regulators to adopt climate-related risk-monitoring guidance in order to enhance their regulation and supervision of insurers and in March 2024 the NAIC adopted its inaugural National Climate Resilience Strategy for Insurance, which aims to enhance risk reduction efforts by state insurance regulators, ensuring that insurance remains available and reliable for communities facing climate-related risks.

At the state level, California has adopted climate disclosure and financial reporting legislation, the Climate Corporate Data Accountability Act and the Climate Related Financial Risk Act (“SB 261”), which would require reporting from large U.S. public and private companies doing business in California on greenhouse gas emissions and biennial climate-related financial risk reports. Litigation is pending, and the Ninth Circuit granted a preliminary injunction as to the implementation of SB 261. On December 1, 2025, the California Air Resources Board issued an enforcement advisory stating that it will not enforce SB 261 against companies that do not meet the January 1, 2026 reporting deadline. We are assessing the impact of SB 261, as well as the injunction and related enforcement advisory.

Diversity and Corporate Governance

The NAIC and state insurance regulators also continue to evaluate issues related to diversity within the insurance industry, such as the diversity of an insurer’s board of directors and management. For instance, the NAIC is examining practices in the insurance industry in order to determine how barriers are created that disadvantage or discriminate against people of color or historically underrepresented groups. Furthermore, the NAIC has been responsible for establishing certain regulatory and corporate governance requirements, which are intended to result in a group-wide supervision focus and include the Model Insurance Holding Company System Regulatory Act and the Insurance Holding Company System Model Regulation, the Requirements for ERM Report within the Annual Holding Company Registration (i.e., Form F), the Supervisory College, the Risk Management and ORSA Model, the CGAD and the Revisions to Annual Financial Reporting Model Regulation to expand the corporate audit function to provide reasonable assurance of the effectiveness of enterprise risk management, internal controls, and corporate governance.

Federal Regulation

The U.S. federal government generally does not directly regulate the insurance industry except for certain areas of the market, such as insurance for flood, nuclear and terrorism risks. However, the federal government has undertaken initiatives or considered legislation in several areas that may impact the insurance industry. The U.S. federal government’s oversight of the insurance industry was expanded under the Dodd-Frank Act, which established the FIO. Although the FIO does not have general supervisory or regulatory authority over the business of insurance, it has preemption authority over state insurance laws that conflict with certain international agreements, as discussed below. The FIO also has authority to monitor all aspects of the insurance sector and the extent to which traditionally underserved communities and consumers have access to affordable non-health insurance products, and to represent the United States on prudential aspects of international insurance matters, including at the International Association of Insurance Supervisors.

43


The Dodd-Frank Act authorizes the Treasury and the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative to enter into international agreements of mutual recognition regarding the prudential regulation of insurance or reinsurance. The United States entered into such covered agreements with the European Union in September 2017 (the "EU Covered Agreement") and with the United Kingdom in December 2018 (the "UK Covered Agreement," together with the EU Covered Agreement, the "Covered Agreements"). The Covered Agreements address three areas of prudential supervision: reinsurance, group supervision and the exchange of information. Issues relating to the Covered Agreements are discussed further under "—State Regulation—Credit for Reinsurance" above.

Lloyd’s Regulation

General. The operations of Syndicate 4000 are managed by HMA, which is subject to regulation and supervision of the Prudential Regulation Authority ("PRA"), the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") and the Council of Lloyd’s. HMA is the managing agent for Syndicate 4000 and Hamilton Corporate Member Limited is a Lloyd’s corporate member that provides underwriting capacity to Syndicate 4000. The FCA and PRA both regulate insurers, insurance intermediaries and Lloyd’s itself. Lloyd’s establishes its own bye-laws and regulations, including requirements made under those bye-laws for all managing agents to maintain that are designed to meet applicable regulatory requirements.
Solvency Requirements. Underwriting capacity of a member of Lloyd’s must be supported by providing a deposit (referred to as "Funds at Lloyd’s") in the form of cash, securities or letters of credit in an amount determined in accordance with Lloyd’s requirements and the Solvency II legislative regime. The amount of such deposit is calculated for each member through the completion of a prescribed capital adequacy exercise. Under these requirements, Lloyd’s must demonstrate that each member has sufficient assets to meet its underwriting liabilities plus a required solvency margin, and adjustments to a syndicate’s Funds at Lloyd’s may be required at any time.

Intervention Powers. The Council of Lloyd’s has wide discretionary powers to regulate members’ underwriting at Lloyd’s. It may, for instance, change the basis on which syndicate expenses are allocated or vary the Funds at Lloyd’s or the investment criteria applicable to the provision of Funds at Lloyd’s. Exercising any of these powers might affect the return on an investment of the corporate member in a given underwriting year. Further, the annual business plans of a syndicate are subject to the review and approval by Lloyd’s.

Each member of Lloyd’s is required to contribute a percentage of that member’s underwriting capacity for the relevant year of account to the Lloyd’s central fund (the "Central Fund"). If a member of Lloyd’s is unable to pay its debts to policyholders, such debts may be payable by the Central Fund, which in many respects acts as an equivalent to a state guaranty fund in the U.S. If Lloyd’s determines that the Central Fund needs to be increased, it has the power to assess premium levies on current Lloyd’s members. The Council of Lloyd’s has discretion to call or assess up to an additional 5% of a member’s underwriting capacity in any one year as a Central Fund contribution. Our syndicate capacity for the 2026 underwriting year is £657 million of gross premiums written.

Lloyd’s Brussels. Lloyd’s Brussels is authorized and regulated by the National Bank of Belgium ("NBB") and regulated by the Financial Services Market Authority ("FSMA"). Lloyd’s Brussels is an authorized insurance company licensed to write non-life risks across the EEA and the U.K. and also maintains 19 branches across Europe. The use of Lloyd’s Brussels provides HMA with access to the European market to write non-life insurance risks.

Principles for Doing Business at Lloyd’s (the "Principles"). Replacing the Lloyd’s Minimum Standards (the previous regime which set out the Lloyd’s regulatory requirements for Lloyd’s managing agents) and effective from the third quarter of 2022, the Principles set out the fundamental responsibilities expected of all managing agents, including HMA and is the basis against which Lloyd’s will review and categorize all syndicates and managing agents in terms of their capacity and performance.

Irish Regulation

HIDAC is regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland ("CBI") pursuant to the Insurance Acts 1909 to 2018 (as amended), the Central Bank Acts 1942 to 2018 and all statutory instruments relating to insurance made or adopted under the European Communities Acts 1972 to 2012, including the European Union (Insurance and Reinsurance) Regulations, 2015 (as amended) and the Solvency II regime. HIDAC is required to maintain the Minimum Capital Requirement ("MCR") and the Solvency Capital Requirement ("SCR") at all times. Capital requirements are calculated by reference to Solvency II definitions. If an entity falls below the MCR or SCR, the CBI is authorized to take action to restore the financial position of the subsidiary. In addition, HIDAC's U.K. branch is subject to regulation and supervision of the PRA and the FCA.

Our Organizational Structure and Corporate History

We are a Bermuda-headquartered company, whose subsidiaries and syndicates underwrite insurance and reinsurance risks on a global basis through two reporting segments, International and Bermuda. Within the reporting segments, we operate three principal underwriting platforms: Hamilton Global Specialty, Hamilton Select and Hamilton Re. We closed our initial public offering on November 14, 2023 in which we sold 6,250,000 Class B common shares and 8,750,000 existing Class B common shares were sold by the Company's shareholders. An additional 1,500,000 existing Class B common shares were subsequently sold by the Company's shareholders pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option.

International

Our London operations are comprised of HMA, a Lloyd’s managing agency, which manages our wholly aligned Syndicate 4000. Syndicate 4000 operates in the Lloyd’s market and underwrites property, casualty and specialty insurance and specialty reinsurance business on a subscription basis. Syndicate 3334, which was managed by HMA, was closed by way of a reinsurance to close into Syndicate 4000 at the end of December 31, 2021.

On August 20, 2019, Hamilton completed the acquisition of Pembroke Managing Agency that expanded our existing London operations and created our Irish footprint.

Prior to the acquisition, Hamilton Underwriting Limited ("HUL"), a former Lloyd’s managing agent, managed Lloyd’s Syndicate 3334. Following the acquisition, the acquired Lloyd’s managing agent was renamed HMA. In 2020, HUL was deregistered, Syndicate 3334 was placed into run-off, and all renewal business was written into the acquired Syndicate 4000. HMA is responsible for the management of the wholly-aligned Syndicate 4000.

Our Dublin operations consist of HIDAC, a Dublin-based insurer with a U.K. branch and extensive licensing in the United States, including excess and surplus lines and reinsurance licenses in all 50 states.

HMGA Americas is licensed throughout the United States, and underwrites on behalf of Hamilton Group’s London, Dublin and Bermuda operations (solely in respect of Hamilton Re US), providing access from the United States to the Lloyd’s market, the Hamilton Group’s rated Irish carrier and the Hamilton Group’s Bermuda balance sheet, respectively.

Hamilton Select, a U.S. domestic excess and surplus lines carrier, was incorporated in Delaware on September 2, 2021 and is licensed to write excess and surplus lines in all 50 states.

45


Hamilton Global Specialty’s principal place of business is located at 8 Fenchurch Place, London EC3M 4AJ, United Kingdom and our telephone number is +44 (0) 20-3595-1111. HIDAC’s principal place of business is 2 Shelbourne Building, Crampton Avenue, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4, D04 W3V6, Ireland and our telephone number is +353 1 232 1900. Hamilton Select’s principal place of business is 5101 Cox Road, Suite 200, Glen Allen, VA 23060, United States and our telephone number is +1 (804) 905-9977.

Bermuda

Our Bermuda operations are led by Hamilton Re, a registered Class 4 insurer incorporated in Bermuda. Hamilton Re writes property, casualty, and specialty insurance and reinsurance business on a global basis. Hamilton Re has been able to secure and passport both certified reinsurer and reciprocal jurisdiction reinsurer status in various U.S. states, including our lead state of Delaware. Obtaining certified reinsurer status allows cedants the option to accept a reduced amount of collateral for reinsurers, while obtaining reciprocal jurisdiction reinsurer status allows cedants the option of eliminating reinsurance collateral requirements.

Hamilton Re US was formed pursuant to an arrangement between Hamilton Re and its Bermuda-incorporated affiliate, Hamilton ILS Holdings Limited ("Hamilton ILS"). The Company treats Hamilton Re US as a U.S. corporation for U.S. tax purposes and has filed an election for it to be treated as such with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"), and profits allocated to it are subject to applicable U.S. taxation. HMGA Americas is authorized to underwrite U.S. property, casualty and specialty reinsurance on behalf of Hamilton Re, solely in respect of Hamilton Re US.

ACML, an insurance agent incorporated and regulated in Bermuda, is authorized to underwrite on behalf of Ada Re, Ltd. ("Ada Re"). Ada Re is a non-consolidated special purpose insurer funded by investors and formed to provide fully collateralized reinsurance and retrocession to both the wholly owned operating platforms of Hamilton Re and third-party cedants. Ada Re’s segregated account structure facilitates investor participation across distinct underwriting periods and strategies, enabling efficient alignment with varied risk appetites. Assets supporting each segregated account are fully collateralized and held in trust solely for that account’s obligations, ensuring clean, non‑recourse risk transfer, full transparency, and strong counterparty protection. Ada Re has developed into a core component of Hamilton’s third‑party capital strategy and represents an increasingly meaningful contributor to Hamilton’s fee‑based earnings. Through ACML’s underwriting services agreement, Hamilton earns management fees, underwriting fees and, where applicable, performance‑based fees associated with the collateralized portfolios written on behalf of Ada Re. The platform enables Hamilton to monetize its established underwriting, analytics, and risk selection capabilities without deploying Hamilton’s balance sheet. This structure has allowed Hamilton to scale recurring fee income.

Hamilton Re’s principal place of business is located at Wellesley House North, 1st Floor, 90 Pitts Bay Road, Pembroke HM 08 Bermuda and our telephone number is +1 (441) 405-5200.

Risk Factors

Investing in Hamilton involves risk. In deciding whether to invest in Hamilton, you should carefully consider the following risk factors. Any of these risk factors could have a significant or material adverse effect on our businesses, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. They could also cause significant fluctuations and volatility in the trading price of our securities. Readers should not consider any descriptions of these factors to be a complete set of all potential risks that could affect Hamilton. These factors should be considered carefully together with the other information contained in this report, including our financial statements, and the other reports and materials filed by us with the SEC. Further, many of these risks are interrelated and could occur under similar business and economic conditions, and the occurrence of certain of them may in turn cause the emergence or exacerbate the effect of others. Such a combination of risks could materially increase the severity of the impact of these risks on our businesses, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity above and beyond a risk’s singular impact. The risk factors described below are not necessarily presented in order of importance. This Annual Report also contains forward-looking statements and estimates that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result of specific factors, including the risks and uncertainties described below. See “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information.”

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

Competition and consolidation in the insurance and reinsurance industry could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We operate in a highly competitive insurance and reinsurance environment that continues to evolve and consolidate. Our competitors include major U.S. and non-U.S. insurers and reinsurers, many of which possess greater financial, distribution and management resources, higher financial strength ratings, broader product offerings and longer operating histories than we do. In addition, pension funds, endowments, investment banks, investment managers, hedge funds and other capital markets participants have entered the market through the formation of insurance and reinsurance companies or through alternative risk transfer structures designed to compete with traditional products. We also face competition from non-traditional entrants and start-ups seeking to disrupt the industry and capture market share.

Competition is further shaped by consolidation among insurers, reinsurers, customers and intermediaries. Larger, consolidated entities often leverage their scale and capital strength to negotiate lower pricing, demand broader coverage terms, increase line sizes or reduce their reliance on reinsurance. Consolidation among intermediaries may also affect our ability to access business and could increase pressure on pricing and commissions, limiting our flexibility in certain markets. Other companies, including our competitors, may seek to write business without what we believe to be the appropriate regard for risk and profitability, especially during periods of intense competition for premium. During these times, it is very difficult to grow or maintain premium volume without sacrificing underwriting income.

In addition, rapid technological innovation, including advanced data analytics, digital platforms and AI, is intensifying competitive pressures across the industry. Competitors that deploy these technologies more effectively can deliver superior pricing models, faster claims handling and enhanced customer experiences, positioning themselves to gain market share at our expense. Keeping pace requires ongoing investment in technology and innovation, which may involve significant capital and operational resources without any guarantee of achieving the intended benefits. Failure to adapt quickly could leave us at a disadvantage in an increasingly digital marketplace.

Finally, we rely on a limited number of intermediaries for a significant portion of our business. Competitors with stronger ratings, broader product portfolios or longer-standing relationships may attract or influence these intermediaries, reducing our distribution reach and limiting growth opportunities. If we are unable to compete effectively on these fronts, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Our losses and loss expense reserves may be inadequate to cover our actual losses.

We devote significant focus, attention and resources to assess the risks related to our businesses as accurately as we can. We establish losses and loss adjustment expenses ("LAE"), reserves for the best estimate of the ultimate payment of all claims that have been incurred, or could be incurred in the future, and the related costs of adjusting those claims, as of the date of our financial statements. These estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to numerous variables, including claims inflation, frequency and severity trends, judicial and legislative developments, economic conditions, social inflation and evolving claims practices. The estimation of loss reserves is more difficult during times of adverse economic and market conditions due to unexpected changes in behavior of claimants and policyholders, including an increase in fraudulent reporting of exposures and/or losses, reduced maintenance of insured properties or increased frequency of small claims. Actual losses may differ, possibly materially, from our estimates.

Reserving is particularly complex for long-tail lines, emerging risks and new products, where claims may take years to develop and historical data may be limited. We review historical patterns and consider factors such as inflation, litigation trends and regulatory changes, but there is no precise method to predict future outcomes. As additional information becomes available, reserve estimates may change, potentially requiring material strengthening. This process involves significant judgment and is influenced by external factors beyond our control, making reserve adequacy a continuing challenge.

If our reserves ultimately prove inadequate, we would need to increase them, which could reduce net income and shareholders’ equity in the period identified and potentially affect liquidity, capital position and financial strength ratings. In addition, significant reserve adjustments may impact market perception of our financial stability and could increase the cost of capital or limit our ability to write new business. Future loss experience substantially in excess of established reserves could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Conversely, we may prove to be too conservative in our reserving estimates which could contribute to factors which may impede our ability to grow in respect of new markets or perils or in connection with our current portfolio of coverages.

Unpredictable catastrophic events could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We write insurance and reinsurance that cover unpredictable catastrophic events, including, but not limited to, natural catastrophes such as hurricanes, earthquakes, windstorms, floods, wildfires and severe winter weather, as well as man-made disasters such as terrorism, war, political unrest, cyber-attacks, pandemics and infrastructure failures. We have exposure to such events across multiple geographic regions and lines of business, including property, marine and energy, aviation, crisis management, political risk, accident and health and other specialty and casualty classes.

The extent of these losses depends on both the severity of events and the concentration and correlation of insured exposures. Changes in global temperatures, weather patterns, and sea levels may increase both the frequency and severity of natural catastrophes and the resulting losses in the future. Additionally, increases in the values and concentrations of insured property, particularly in coastal regions, and increases in the cost of construction materials required to rebuild affected properties, could increase the impact of natural catastrophe events. Catastrophic events may also increase claims handling costs, disrupt operations and adversely affect investment markets. Significant catastrophe losses could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and could limit our ability to write new business.

Our most material natural catastrophe accumulation risks are from Atlantic Hurricanes and U.S. Mainland Earthquakes. As of January 1, 2026, our modeled 100-Year Occurrence Exceedance Probability for Atlantic Hurricanes in Florida was $242.3 million and our modeled 250-Year Occurrence Exceedance Probability for U.S. Mainland Earthquakes in California was $292.3 million. Our biggest concentration of exposure to U.S. Mainland Earthquakes is in California, while our exposure to Atlantic Hurricanes is material in many regions, including Florida, other Gulf Coast states, as well as the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern regions of the U.S. Although we attempt to manage our exposure to such events through a multitude of approaches, including geographic diversification, geographic limits, individual policy limits, exclusions or limitations from coverage and the purchase of reinsurance, the availability of these management tools may be dependent on market factors and, to the extent available, may not respond in the way that we expect which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

51


Our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected if we do not accurately assess our underwriting risk.

Our profitability is dependent on our ability to accurately assess the risks associated with the business we underwrite. We rely on the experience of our underwriting staff in assessing those risks, the accuracy of pricing tools and the clarity of our contract wording. If we misunderstand and/or inadequately quantify the nature and extent of the risks, we may fail to establish appropriate premium rates which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, our employees, including members of management and underwriters, make decisions and choices in the ordinary course of business that involve exposing us to risk. Such challenges of assessing risk and pricing premiums are often increased in our U.S. E&S business lines, where there may be more limited historical claims and underwriting data than in admitted insurance markets.

Beyond the risks associated with natural and non-natural catastrophe accumulations, underwriting risk may arise from incorrect assumptions about inflation, claims practices, or social trends. Many of our lines lack sufficient historical claims data to accurately estimate future costs, requiring significant underwriting and actuarial judgment. This risk is heightened in low-frequency, high-severity classes and in our U.S. E&S business, where pricing data is often more limited than in admitted markets. If we misunderstand or inadequately quantify underwriting risk, fail to identify accumulations or misprice risks due to inflation, social trends or other factors, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

In addition, increasing adoption of AI technologies by our insureds may create new or evolving sources of risk. AI systems can produce unintended or unpredictable outcomes, automate decisions that lead to errors, or otherwise cause losses that may fall within the scope of our policies, including where coverage was not originally intended. To the extent our policies implicitly or explicitly respond to such exposures, losses arising from our insureds’ use of AI may be difficult to assess, model or price due to rapidly developing liability standards and limited historical loss data. These factors could result in higher‑than‑expected claims, unforeseen risk accumulations or inadequate pricing, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Significant model and data uncertainty could result in losses materially exceeding our estimates.

We use multiple models to simulate potential claims outcomes, including pricing, reserving, accumulation and catastrophe models for both natural and man-made events. For natural catastrophe risk, we rely on third-party vendor models (e.g., Verisk and Risk Management Solutions) and proprietary tools such as our HARP platform to estimate probable maximum losses. These models depend on broad assumptions, such as storm surge, demand surge, zone density and secondary uncertainty, and do not cover all territories or perils. Natural catastrophe modeling is inherently uncertain due to event probability, parameter risk and limitations in historical data, particularly for low-frequency, high-severity events.

Man-made catastrophe models, including those addressing terrorism, cyber risk and political violence, are generally less developed and rely heavily on economic, scientific and policy assumptions, adding further uncertainty. These models often lack robust historical loss data and may not fully capture evolving risk dynamics, such as changes in technology, geopolitical conditions or regulatory frameworks. As a result, modeled outputs may understate or overstate potential exposures.

We use these models to manage risk accumulation, inform capital requirements and optimize portfolio risk/return. However, given modeling limitations, incomplete or inaccurate exposure data and the inherent unpredictability of catastrophic events, actual losses may differ materially from modeled estimates. Since there is no industry standard for assumptions and preparation of insured data for use in these models, our modeled losses may not be comparable to estimates made by other companies. In certain circumstances, we could experience unanticipated risk concentrations or losses significantly exceeding expectations, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, reliance on models introduces operational risk, including the potential for human error in data input, interpretation or application of assumptions. Any material deviation between modeled and actual outcomes could impair our ability to price accurately, allocate capital efficiently and maintain targeted risk tolerances, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

52


A material proportion of our business relies on the assessment and pricing of individual risks by third parties.

We authorize MGAs, general agents, coverholders and other producers to write business on our behalf within prescribed underwriting authorities and we could be held responsible for the acts or omissions of these or other third parties deemed to act on our behalf. In particular, fraud or misconduct by agents, coverholders, producers, insureds or other third parties could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our reliance on third-party assessment extends to reinsurance treaties, where we generally do not evaluate each underlying risk. We depend on ceding companies’ underwriting decisions and are exposed to the risk that cedents may misprice or inadequately assess exposures, resulting in premiums that do not compensate for assumed risk. This reliance could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Emerging claim and coverage issues, or other litigation, could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Unanticipated legal developments and changes in social conditions may lead to unexpected coverage obligations or increases in claim frequency and severity. These developments can impose obligations beyond our underwriting intent or expand interpretations of policy language, resulting in higher losses and greater uncertainty in pricing and reserving.

We have observed adverse impacts from trends such as claims-level fraud, litigation abuses and social inflation, which may persist or intensify. In casualty and specialty lines, these effects often emerge gradually, making them difficult to anticipate and quantify. Industry experience during the COVID-19 pandemic illustrates how unforeseen events can generate significant losses despite contractual exclusions. Courts and arbitration panels may interpret policy language unpredictably, and some market participants increasingly challenge contract wording. Efforts to exclude certain exposures could also reduce market acceptance of our products, limiting growth opportunities.

The full impact of emerging claim and coverage issues is difficult to predict and may not be known for years after a policy is issued. Our exposure to these uncertainties may grow as our long-tail casualty reserves increase, since claims can arise over extended periods and may be subject to evolving legal standards. While we strive to improve contract language, underwriting discipline and claims practices, these measures may not fully mitigate the risk of adverse developments. Any significant increase in claims costs or expansion of coverage obligations could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We, or agents we have appointed, may act based on inaccurate or incomplete information regarding the accounts we underwrite, or such agents may exceed their authority or commit fraud when binding policies on our behalf.

We, our MGAs, general agents and other agents who have the ability to bind our policies rely on information provided by insureds or their representatives when underwriting insurance policies. While we may make inquiries to validate or supplement the information provided, we may make underwriting decisions based on incorrect or incomplete information. It is possible that we could misunderstand the nature or extent of the activities or facilities and the corresponding extent of the risks that we insure because of our reliance on inadequate or inaccurate information. If any such agents exceed their authority or engage in fraudulent activities, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Operational risks, including human error, model uncertainty and reliance on third-party systems, could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Operational risks, including human error, the inherent uncertainty of models and reliance on third-party IT systems, are inherent in our business. Failures or outages in these systems, or the need to replace or upgrade them, could disrupt critical functions such as underwriting, claims processing and financial reporting. Operational losses may also result from fraud, employee or vendor errors, inadequate documentation or authorization, regulatory non-compliance or IT failures. Misuse of customer or proprietary information or breaches of internal controls could cause financial loss, reputational harm and regulatory scrutiny.

In addition, we license systems and data from third-party providers and cannot guarantee continued access or proper functioning. Replacing or transitioning providers could slow underwriting response times and impair service delivery. As our operations evolve, we must invest in new technologies and may face integration challenges, particularly when implementing complex platforms across multiple jurisdictions. Our business operations rely on the continuous availability of our computer
53


systems as well as those of certain third parties. A major defect or failure in internal controls or IT systems could interrupt underwriting, distract management, harm our reputation, delay revenues, increase costs and trigger regulatory inquiries or litigation. Any significant operational disruption could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. If we do not effectively develop, implement and monitor our outsourcing and third-party risk management strategies, third-party providers do not perform as anticipated, or we or they experience technological or other problems with a migration or in operations, we may not realize productivity improvements or cost efficiencies and may experience operational difficulties, liabilities for breaches of confidential information, increased costs and a loss of business.

Interruptions to or failures of the information technology systems upon which we rely, including those resulting from cybersecurity attacks and security breaches, could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We face significant cybersecurity risks, including cybersecurity attacks and security breaches, and other incidents that may affect our information technology systems and those of our service providers. Such events could result in regulatory scrutiny, legal liability, reputational harm, operational disruption, and increased compliance costs.

Our business operations rely on the availability, integrity and confidentiality of our information technology systems as well as those of certain third parties. Among other things, we rely on information technology systems to process sensitive personal and proprietary information and conduct electronic transactions with brokers, clients, service providers and other stakeholders. These systems could be damaged or interrupted by natural disasters, telecommunications failures, acts of war or terrorism, computer viruses and malware, and cybersecurity incidents, such as physical or electronic security breaches, breaches by computer hackers and cyber-terrorists, intentional or inadvertent user misuse or error, or similar events or disruptions that impact the availability, reliability, speed, accuracy or other proper functioning of our systems, thereby disrupting business operations. A breach of our systems could also jeopardize the personal information of our employees, consultants and vendors, or sensitive and confidential information regarding our business and other information processed and stored within these systems. Like other companies, we have from time to time experienced, and are likely to continue to experience, security events and data intrusions, and while none of these events have had a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations to date, no assurances can be made that such attacks or security events will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations in the future.

Cyber threats are increasingly sophisticated, persistent and difficult to detect, originating from organized criminal groups, nation states and other actors. Attacks such as ransomware, malware, phishing, credential stuffing and social engineering could disrupt operations, expose confidential data and lead to litigation, fines or loss of customers. Incidents affecting third-party systems that store or process our data could similarly result in material harm. There is also an increasing prevalence of insider threats to systems and data, including through prolific remote work schemes in which individuals deliberately misrepresent their physical location to obtain or keep jobs restricted to certain countries or regions. We also view the cyber threat landscape as steadily increasing as a result of the increased turbulence of world events, such as the ongoing war in Ukraine, events in Gaza, and other areas of geopolitical conflict.

As AI capabilities improve and are increasingly adopted, they may be used by bad actors to identify vulnerabilities and craft increasingly sophisticated cybersecurity attacks including adversarial attacks, data poisoning and manipulation of automated decision-making models. In addition, vulnerabilities may be introduced from the use of AI by the Company, its counterparties, vendors and other business partners and third-party providers. Misuse of AI by us or third parties could result in unauthorized disclosure of confidential information or personal data, causing reputational harm, regulatory scrutiny and legal exposure.

Although we make efforts to maintain effective safeguards, policies and insurance coverage to prevent, detect, manage, and mitigate the impact of data breaches and cybersecurity incidents, we cannot offer complete assurance that these measures will fully protect against the financial or non-financial consequences of future incidents.

54


The use or anticipated use of AI technologies, including generative AI, by us or third parties, may increase or create new operational, legal and reputational risks.

We expect the use of AI and generative AI by us, third parties acting on our behalf and other market participants, including our competitors, to increase substantially. However, the deployment of these technologies introduces significant risks and uncertainties. AI systems rely on complex algorithms and large datasets, which may contain biases, inaccuracies or incomplete information. Models may produce unintended or unpredictable outputs, and errors in training data or model design could lead to flawed decision-making. Generative AI, in particular, can create synthetic content that may be inaccurate, misleading or infringe intellectual property rights. Misuse of AI, whether intentional or inadvertent, could expose us to legal liability, regulatory enforcement actions, contractual disputes or reputational harm.

The relative newness of these technologies, the speed of adoption and the absence of comprehensive laws, regulations or industry standards governing AI use amplify these risks. Regulatory frameworks are evolving globally, and future requirements could impose additional compliance obligations, increase costs or restrict certain applications of AI. In addition, stakeholders, including customers, investors and regulators, are increasingly focused on ethical AI practices, transparency and accountability. Failure to meet these expectations could damage our reputation and competitive position. Our vendors may incorporate generative AI tools into their offerings without disclosing this use to us, and the providers of these generative AI tools may not meet existing or rapidly evolving regulatory or industry standards with respect to privacy and data protection and may inhibit our vendors’ ability to maintain an adequate level of service and experience.

AI also introduces cybersecurity and data privacy vulnerabilities. Adversarial attacks, data poisoning and manipulation of automated decision-making models could compromise system integrity or lead to unauthorized disclosure of confidential information. Integration of AI into critical business processes may increase operational complexity and create dependencies on third-party vendors, heightening exposure to technology failures or service disruptions.

Although we implement controls and governance frameworks to manage these risks, such measures may not fully prevent adverse outcomes. Any significant failure, misuse or regulatory breach related to AI could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may be unable to adequately protect or enforce our intellectual property rights, or we may face claims alleging infringement of third-party rights.

Our success depends in part on our intellectual property, including our brand, proprietary technology and data. We rely on laws and contractual protections to safeguard these rights, but these measures may not prevent unauthorized use, copying, reverse engineering or misappropriation. While we have certain registered rights in connection with our brand, we also rely heavily on a combination of common law rights, trade secrets, proprietary methodologies, contractual arrangements and licensed intellectual property to support and protect our business operations. These protections may be insufficient to prevent unauthorized use, copying, reverse engineering or misappropriation of our intellectual property and monitoring and enforcing our rights can be costly, time‑consuming and uncertain. If we fail to protect or enforce our intellectual property adequately, our brand, proprietary assets and competitive position could be harmed.

We also depend on licenses for certain technology and data. If we fail to comply with the terms of these licenses, or if a licensor challenges our rights, terminates an agreement or elects not to renew on commercially reasonable terms, we could lose access to critical technology or data, experience business disruptions or incur additional costs to replace such rights. Future licenses may not be available on reasonable terms, or at all.

Additionally, third parties may claim we infringe or misappropriate their intellectual property. Any such claims could result in costly litigation and significant diversion of management resources. Adverse determinations could require us to pay damages, obtain licenses (which may include substantial royalty obligations or unfavorable terms), stop using certain technology or offering certain products or services, or otherwise alter our business practices. Any of these events could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

55


Global climate change may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Changes in global climate patterns may increase the frequency, severity and volatility of extreme weather events. Climate change may result in higher loss costs associated with hurricanes, floods, wildfires, storms and other weather-related events, and may impair the reliability of historical data and catastrophe models used to assess risk. These changes could also lead to shifts in geographic risk concentrations and create challenges in pricing, reserving and capital allocation.

In addition to physical risks, climate change may give rise to transition risks, including new environmental liability claims, increased regulatory requirements, enhanced disclosure obligations and evolving investor expectations. Regulatory developments, such as carbon-related legislation or mandatory climate reporting, could increase compliance costs and operational complexity. Climate-related risks may also affect the valuation of certain investments, particularly in carbon-intensive sectors, and could result in stranded assets or reduced portfolio returns.

If we do not adequately assess, model and price the potential effects of climate change, or if regulatory and market responses to climate change accelerate beyond our assumptions, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

We may not successfully alleviate risk through reinsurance arrangements. Additionally, we may not collect all amounts due from our reinsurers under our existing reinsurance arrangements.

As part of our risk management strategy, we rely on purchasing reinsurance for our own account from third parties, including retrocession coverage (i.e., reinsurance of reinsurance). However, the availability and cost of reinsurance are subject to market conditions beyond our control. Consequently, we may be unable or unwilling to obtain sufficient reinsurance, and the coverage we do secure may be inadequate to cover future liabilities. Failure to obtain or maintain adequate reinsurance could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Purchasing reinsurance does not relieve us of our underlying obligations to policyholders or ceding companies. Therefore, any inability to collect amounts due from reinsurers could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We face the risk of non-collection if reinsurers withhold payment due to disputes or other factors beyond our control, or if their financial condition deteriorates. While we regularly review the financial condition of our reinsurers and currently believe they are financially strong, future significant losses or economic events could impair their ability or willingness to fulfill obligations to us.

Our results of operations may fluctuate significantly from period to period and may not be indicative of our long-term prospects.

Our results of operations may fluctuate significantly from period to period. These fluctuations result from a variety of factors, including the fluctuations of the reinsurance and insurance market in response to supply and demand changes, the volume and mix of reinsurance and insurance products that we write, loss experience on our reinsurance and insurance liabilities, the performance of our investment portfolio and our ability to assess and implement our risk management strategy effectively. In particular, we seek to underwrite products and make investments to achieve long-term results. In addition, after a large catastrophic event or circumstance, we may record significant amounts of reinstatement premium, which can cause quarterly, non-recurring fluctuations in both our written and earned premiums. Any of the foregoing may increase the volatility of our short-term, financial results relative to our long-term prospects.

The insurance and reinsurance business is historically cyclical and the pricing and terms for our products may decline, which would affect our profitability and ability to maintain or grow premiums.

The insurance and reinsurance industry has historically been cyclical by product and market. We cannot predict with certainty whether market conditions will improve, remain constant or deteriorate. We cannot assure investors that premium rates will not decrease in the future, and if demand for our products falls or the supply of competing capacity rises, our prospects for potential growth may be adversely affected. In particular, we might lose existing customers or suffer a decline in business during shifting market cycles, which we might not regain when industry conditions improve.

56


If actual renewals of our existing contracts do not meet expectations, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Many of our contracts are written for one-year terms. In our financial forecasting process, we make assumptions about the renewal of our prior year’s contracts and other terms and conditions. The insurance industry has historically been a cyclical business with intense competition, often based on price. If actual renewals do not meet expectations or if we choose not to write a renewal (including in connection with the early termination of insurance policies), our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

We may be materially adversely affected by inflation.

Our operations, like those of other insurers and reinsurers, are vulnerable to both economic and social inflation because premiums are set before ultimate loss and expense amounts are known. Economic inflation refers to the general rise in prices for goods and services, which increases claim costs such as property replacement and repairs. Social inflation reflects the impact of broader societal and legal trends, such as more frequent litigation, larger jury awards, and evolving liability standards, that drive claims severity beyond historical norms. Although we consider these factors when pricing, premiums may not fully offset rising costs, resulting in underpricing. Loss reserves include assumptions about future claim settlements and handling costs, but if inflation pushes costs above established reserves, we will need to strengthen reserves, reducing net income and potentially impacting financial condition. Higher inflation could also lead to increased interest rates, negatively affecting the value of our fixed-income portfolio.

Recent periods have seen elevated inflation across multiple components of claims costs. While we regularly analyze trends and adjust pricing and reserving assumptions, there is a risk that our forecasts prove insufficient or that inflationary drivers affect future claims differently than anticipated, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Related to Liquidity, Capital and Credit

Our external financial strength credit ratings could be downgraded.

Independent rating agencies evaluate the claims-paying ability of insurers and reinsurers using their own methodologies and criteria. These ratings play a critical role in our business because they are often a key consideration for insureds, brokers, and intermediaries when deciding whether to place business with a particular insurance or reinsurance provider. Maintaining strong credit ratings with recognized agencies is therefore essential to our ability to compete effectively.

Within the insurance and reinsurance industries, AM Best is widely regarded as the most influential rating agency. In recent years, an “A-” (Excellent) financial strength rating from AM Best has represented the minimum threshold required to access significant portions of our target market. While our current rating of "A" (Excellent) exceeds this minimum, any downgrade, even if we remain at A-, could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and limit our ability to participate in key segments of the market.

In addition, minimum rating requirements imposed by clients, brokers, intermediary panels, counterparties or other market participants may change over time, and certain markets or programs may require ratings higher than A‑ to qualify or remain eligible. If market expectations for acceptable minimum ratings increase, or if contractual panels or counterparties adjust their criteria, our ability to write or retain business could be adversely affected even without any change to our own ratings.

Any reduction in our ratings or outlook, whether driven by changes in our financial condition or by adjustments to rating agency methodologies or criteria, could negatively impact our ability to sell products and services, enter into new reinsurance contracts, secure reinsurance on reasonable terms, obtain letters of credit or other collateral on favorable terms, or otherwise execute our strategic business plan. Any unfavorable changes to our ratings, or increases in market‑required minimum ratings, could therefore have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

57


We may require additional capital in the future, which may not be available or may only be available on unfavorable terms.

Our future capital requirements depend on many factors, including our ability to write new business successfully and to establish premium rates and reserves at levels sufficient to cover losses. To the extent that our available funds are insufficient to fund future operating requirements and cover claim losses, we may need to raise additional funds through financings or curtail our growth. If we need to raise additional capital, equity or debt financing may not be available at all or may be available only on terms that are not favorable to us. In the case of equity financings, our shareholders may experience dilution, or we may issue securities that have rights, preferences and privileges that are senior to those of our other securities. In the case of debt financings, we may be subject to covenants that restrict our ability to freely operate our business. If we cannot obtain adequate capital on favorable terms or at all, we may not have sufficient funds to implement our operating plans and our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

The covenants in our debt agreements limit our financial and operational flexibility, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

We have incurred indebtedness and may incur additional indebtedness in the future. The agreements governing our indebtedness contain covenants that limit our ability and the ability of some of our subsidiaries to make particular types of investments or other restricted payments, sell or place a lien on our or their respective assets, merge or consolidate. Some of these agreements also require us or our subsidiaries to maintain specific financial ratios or contain cross-defaults to our other indebtedness. Under certain circumstances, if we or our subsidiaries fail to comply with these covenants or meet these financial ratios, the lenders could declare a default and demand immediate repayment of all amounts owed to them or, where applicable, cancel their commitments to lend or issue letters of credit or, where the reimbursement obligations are unsecured, require us to pledge collateral or, where the reimbursement obligations are secured, require us to pledge additional or a different type of collateral.

Our inability to obtain the necessary credit facilities could affect our ability to offer reinsurance in certain markets.

Hamilton Re is not licensed or admitted as an insurer or reinsurer in any jurisdiction other than Bermuda. Because the United States and some other jurisdictions do not permit insurance companies to take credit on their statutory financial statements for reinsurance obtained from unlicensed or non-admitted insurers unless appropriate security mechanisms are in place, and although Hamilton Re has obtained certified reinsurer and reciprocal jurisdiction in certain U.S. states, our reinsurance clients in certain jurisdictions typically require Hamilton Re to provide letters of credit or other collateral. Our credit facilities are used to post letters of credit. However, if our credit facilities are not sufficient or if we are unable to renew our credit facilities or arrange for other types of security on commercially affordable terms, Hamilton Re could be limited in its ability to write business for some of our clients which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our reliance on intermediaries subjects us to their credit risk.

In accordance with industry practice, we generally pay amounts owed on claims under our insurance and reinsurance contracts to intermediaries, including agents and brokers, and these intermediaries, in turn, pay these amounts to the clients that have purchased insurance or reinsurance from us. Intermediaries generally are less capitalized than the businesses we reinsure and therefore may be unable to pay their debts when due. Because the possibility of these events depends in large part upon the financial condition and internal operations of our intermediaries (which in most cases is not public information), we are not able to quantify the exposure presented by this risk. In some jurisdictions, if an intermediary fails to make such payment, we may remain liable to the insured or ceding insurer for the deficiency. Likewise, in certain jurisdictions, when the insured or ceding company pays the premiums for these contracts to intermediaries for payment to us, these premiums are considered to have been paid and the insured or ceding company will no longer be liable to us for those amounts, whether or not we have actually received the premiums from the intermediary. Consequently, we assume a degree of credit risk associated with our insurance and reinsurance intermediaries.

58


We could be forced to sell investments to meet our liquidity requirements.

We invest insurance premiums and other cash inflows to support our obligations and liquidity needs, including claims and LAE, reinsurance settlements, operating expenses and debt service. We manage our investment portfolio duration with reference to expected cash outflows, including losses and LAE reserves, to maintain sufficient liquidity and avoid the need to liquidate investments under adverse conditions. However, exposure to catastrophic events, reserve strengthening, investment losses, or other factors could require us to sell investments to meet these obligations. In stressed markets, we may be unable to sell our investments at favorable prices, or at all, and forced sales to meet near-term liquidity requirements could result in significant realized losses due to market levels, interest rate volatility, or credit deterioration of specific holdings.

Risks Related to Our Business Strategy

We depend on our key personnel to manage our business effectively and they may be difficult to replace.

Our performance depends on the efforts and abilities of our management team, executive officers, and other key employees. Much of our competitive advantage is based on their expertise and experience. We do not have fixed-term employment agreements with many key employees, nor do we maintain key person life insurance. The loss of one or more key employees could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Our success also depends on hiring and retaining additional personnel. Competitive market conditions and inflationary pressures may require us to offer higher remuneration or hire contractors for critical roles, increasing costs. Difficulty in hiring or retaining personnel could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our ability to execute our strategy also depends on attracting and retaining qualified underwriters and service personnel. The location of our global headquarters in Bermuda may impede recruitment for roles that must be resident there. Under Bermuda law, non-Bermudians generally require a valid work permit. Some senior management members work under permits expiring in the next several years. The Bermuda government could refuse to extend these permits, and no assurances can be given that any permit will be issued or renewed. If senior officers or key contributors cannot remain in Bermuda, or if we experience delays or failures in obtaining permits for professional staff, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Our employees could take excessive risks, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

As an insurance enterprise, we are in the business of binding certain risks. The employees who conduct our business, including executive officers and other members of management, underwriters, claims professionals, and other employees, do so in part by making decisions and choices that involve exposing us to risk. These decisions include setting underwriting guidelines and standards, product design and pricing, determining which business opportunities to pursue, claims management and other decisions. The controls and procedures we employ to monitor employees’ business decisions and prevent us from taking excessive risks may not be effective. If our employees take excessive risks, the impact of those risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In connection with the implementation of our corporate strategies, we face risks associated with the acquisition or disposition of businesses, the entry into new lines of business, the integration of acquired businesses, the growth and development of these businesses and other strategic transactions.

In pursuing our strategy, we may acquire other businesses or dispose of businesses we currently own. Success depends on obtaining regulatory approval, identifying targets, negotiating favorable terms, completing transactions, and, for acquisitions, integrating them effectively. If a proposed transaction is not consummated, time and resources spent could result in missed opportunities. If acquisitions occur, there can be no assurance we will realize anticipated benefits such as revenue growth, efficiencies, or synergies. Similarly, if we dispose of businesses, we may incur charges or fail to reduce overhead.

From time to time, through acquisitions or internal development, we may enter new lines of business or offer new products and services or enter into other strategic transactions. These initiatives may present additional risks, particularly in undeveloped markets. Risks include significant investment of time and resources; potential lack of success or market acceptance; inability to retain clients; and additional liabilities. Many acquired or newly developed businesses may have smaller scales of operation prior to growth initiatives. If we cannot manage increasing complexity, including refining systems and expanding scale, our
59


business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected. Other risks include developing expertise, integrating businesses into our systems and culture, recruiting professionals, and establishing market relationships. External factors such as new regulations, competitive alternatives, and shifting preferences may also impact success. Failure to manage these risks could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We have significant foreign insurance and reinsurance that exposes us to certain additional risks, including foreign currency risks and political risks.

We conduct business in multiple non-U.S. currencies, including British pounds, euros, Japanese yen and Canadian dollars. As a result, a portion of our assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses are subject to foreign exchange risk. Deterioration or volatility in foreign and international financial markets or general economic, political and civil conditions could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Significant changes in exchange rates could also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our foreign operations also expose us to legal, political and operational risks that may be greater than those in the United States, including regulatory uncertainty, political instability and differing legal frameworks.

We are exposed to risks in connection with our management of alternative reinsurance platforms for third-party investors.

Certain of our subsidiaries manage alternative reinsurance platforms and owe legal and regulatory duties to third-party investors. The failure of these entities to comply with applicable laws or internal policies could result in significant liabilities, penalties or reputational harm. Additionally, these managed entities depend on substantial third-party capital, and the loss or withdrawal of this capital could negatively affect our financial condition and growth prospects. We may also be unable to attract additional third-party capital for existing or new entities, limiting fee income opportunities. In addition, if we return collateral to investors before the maturity specified in the underlying agreements, we may not have sufficient funds to cover future claims should losses exceed expectations. Any of these circumstances could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Related to Our Investment Strategy

Reductions in the value of our investment portfolio could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our operating results depend in part on the performance of our investment portfolio, including our investment in the TS Hamilton Fund. Our capital is invested by professional investment management firms, including by Two Sigma through its management of the TS Hamilton Fund. A material portion of our investment assets are managed by Two Sigma through the TS Hamilton Fund, as further described herein, and we derive a significant portion of our income from our investment in the TS Hamilton Fund. As a result, we have significant exposure to the investments in the TS Hamilton Fund, as well as to our other investment assets.

Our investments are subject to a variety of financial and capital market risks including, but not limited to, changes in interest rates, credit spreads, equity and commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates, increasing market volatility and risks inherent to particular financial instruments. Disruptions in the public debt and equity markets, including, among other things, volatility of interest rates, widening of credit spreads, bankruptcies, defaults, significant ratings downgrades, geopolitical instability, and a decline in equity or commodity markets, may cause significant losses in our investment portfolio. Market volatility can make it difficult to value certain financial instruments if their trading becomes infrequent. Depending on market conditions, we could incur substantial additional realized and unrealized investment losses in future periods. This could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Large claims or adverse market conditions could require us to liquidate investments at unfavorable times.

The occurrence of large insurance or reinsurance claims, catastrophic events or other unexpected liquidity demands could require us to liquidate investments at times when market conditions are unfavorable. Such forced asset sales may occur during periods of heightened volatility or reduced liquidity and could result in realized losses that would not otherwise have been incurred. In addition, forced sales may reduce our invested asset base, limit our ability to deploy capital into higher-yielding opportunities and impair our capacity to underwrite new business. These effects could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
60



Additionally, we are contractually required to maintain an investment in the TS Hamilton Fund pursuant to the Commitment Agreement with Two Sigma, which represents a material portion of our investment portfolio, and which Commitment Agreement remains in effect in accordance with its terms even if the TS Hamilton Fund incurs substantial losses or otherwise does not meet our investment objectives. As a result, we may be unable to reallocate capital away from the TS Hamilton Fund to meet liquidity needs or pursue alternative investment opportunities, which could exacerbate the impact of adverse market conditions and materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We maintain a fixed income portfolio which could be impacted by interest rate and credit risk.

We maintain a portfolio of traditional investment assets, primarily investment‑grade fixed income securities, managed by third‑party professionals other than Two Sigma. This portfolio is subject to risks associated with declines in credit quality of specific issuers or industries and broader economic weakness, which are typically reflected in widening credit spreads. Credit spreads represent the additional yield above the risk‑free rate (generally U.S. Treasury yields) that investors require to compensate for credit, liquidity and prepayment risks. Spreads fluctuate based on market perceptions of risk and liquidity and are influenced by external credit ratings and their reliability. Although we have the ability to use derivatives to manage these risks, their effectiveness depends on market liquidity and other conditions. Adverse economic developments or issuer‑specific events could lead to deterioration in credit quality and valuation, resulting in realized and unrealized losses. Concentrations in particular issuers, sectors, collateral types or geographies could further magnify these effects and materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our fixed income portfolio is also exposed to interest rate and liquidity risks. Rising interest rates, widening credit spreads or reduced market liquidity could decrease the fair value of our fixed income securities. In anticipation of or in response to rising rates, we may sell longer‑term assets and reinvest in shorter‑term instruments that could yield less, while declining rates may reduce investment income as new investments earn below the portfolio’s average yield. Prolonged low interest rates can accelerate borrower prepayments and redemptions, and may prompt purchases of longer‑duration or riskier assets to maintain yields, creating potential duration mismatches relative to liabilities. Although we seek to manage these risks, we may not be able to fully mitigate sensitivity to interest rate movements or credit spread volatility, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We have significant exposure to, and limited control over, the TS Hamilton Fund, which materially constrains our flexibility and could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

A material portion of our investment portfolio is invested in the TS Hamilton Fund which is managed by Two Sigma and subject to a contractual minimum commitment requiring Hamilton Re to maintain an investment up to the lesser of $1.8 billion or 60% of the Group’s net tangible assets. Our commitment with Two Sigma is automatically renewed for successive three‑year periods unless timely notice of non‑renewal is provided. We do not control the TS Hamilton Fund’s investment strategy or day‑to‑day operations, have limited rights to withdraw capital in excess of the minimum commitment amount, and cannot remove the Managing Member. Interests in the TS Hamilton Fund are illiquid, and withdrawals beyond the minimum commitment amount are generally permitted only under extraordinary circumstances, such as severe operating liquidity distress, to prevent an adverse AM Best ratings action or comply with a Bermuda Monetary Authority directive.

The TS Hamilton Fund is not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and therefore we do not benefit from the protections and requirements applicable to registered investment companies. In addition, the structural limitations of the TS Hamilton Fund, including its investment strategy and liquidity profile, limit our ability to reallocate capital, address adverse performance or market stress, or fund unexpected claim payments without forced sales of other assets, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

61


Our investment results depend heavily on Two Sigma and we are therefore exposed to their key person, governance, operational and technology risks. These risks could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, and our contractual remedies are limited.

The TS Hamilton Fund performance depends on Two Sigma’s ability to select and manage appropriate investments by combining multiple systematic, non-systematic and discretionary investment strategies. In recent years there have been a variety of management and governance challenges at Two Sigma and the management committee of Two Sigma’s general partner has been unable to reach agreement on a number of topics including corporate governance and oversight matters, as well as the definition of roles, authorities, responsibilities and/or compensation for a range of C-level officers. These disagreements have affected Two Sigma’s ability to retain and attract employees (including very senior employees) and could continue to impact the ability of Two Sigma employees to fully implement key research, engineering, or corporate business initiatives. As such disagreements continue, Two Sigma’s ability to achieve the mandate of the TS Hamilton Fund could be impacted over time. In addition, regulatory investigations, litigation and other legal or regulatory matters involving Two Sigma or persons associated with it could divert management attention, adversely impact the stability of leadership teams, or affect employee morale and retention. If these developments persist or intensify, they could disrupt investment processes, alter strategic priorities, or otherwise negatively affect the TS Hamilton Fund’s performance. Regardless of management or governance developments, our ability to withdraw capital from the TS Hamilton Fund is subject to contractual limitations and governed by the withdrawal provisions set forth in the TS Hamilton Fund Limited Liability Company Agreement, dated July 1, 2023, as amended from time to time ("LLCA").

The TS Hamilton Fund is exposed to operational risks from Two Sigma and its employees and service providers, including from potential non-compliance with policies and regulations, employee misconduct, negligence and fraud, each of which could result in material losses to the TS Hamilton Fund. In recent years, a number of investment managers and other financial institutions have suffered material losses due to, for example, the actions of traders executing unauthorized trades or other employee misconduct.

Two Sigma’s highly complex and automated processes rely on advanced technology and large datasets, creating risks of coding errors, data inaccuracies, cybersecurity breaches, systems failures and process changes that may lead to unpredictable outcomes. Operational failures or employee misconduct, including unauthorized trading, could result in material losses, regulatory scrutiny and reputational harm. Any adverse or widely publicized developments at Two Sigma, whether related to governance matters, regulatory investigations, reputational issues or technology failures, could materially adversely affect the TS Hamilton Fund’s performance and, by extension, our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The TS Hamilton Fund’s strategies involve significant leverage, derivatives, margin financing, short selling and hedging, which can amplify losses and create liquidity stress.

Two Sigma employs strategies that may involve substantial leverage, derivatives, margin financing, short selling and hedging. These techniques can magnify losses during periods of volatility or correlation breakdowns and may result in losses that exceed invested capital. Counterparties may impose sudden margin or collateral calls, triggering forced liquidations at unfavorable prices and potential cross-defaults. Short selling exposes the TS Hamilton Fund to theoretically unlimited losses, short squeezes and mandatory close-outs, while hedging may fail or even exacerbate losses due to imperfect correlations. In severe scenarios, these factors could materially adversely affect the TS Hamilton Fund’s returns and our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The TS Hamilton Fund is required to indemnify and hold harmless the Managing Member and Two Sigma under certain circumstances pursuant to the LLCA or the TS Hamilton Fund Investment Management Agreement. As a result, in general, we do not expect to have recourse to Two Sigma for our losses and the value of capital accounts of Hamilton Re in the TS Hamilton Fund could be reduced in the event that Two Sigma (or its affiliates) incur losses, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

62


Conflicts of interest and regulatory scrutiny may adversely affect trade allocation, execution and performance.

Two Sigma and its affiliates manage multiple client and proprietary accounts with overlapping strategies, creating actual or perceived conflicts in trade allocation and execution. Decisions made for other clients, including deleveraging or liquidation, may negatively impact positions held by the TS Hamilton Fund. The Commitment Agreement provides that Two Sigma will not be responsible for performance of its obligations under the Commitment Agreement to the extent that such obligations (x) would reasonably conflict with Two Sigma's fiduciary duties to other clients or investors in such clients or (y) are reasonably expected to result in materially adverse legal or regulatory risk, as determined in Two Sigma's sole discretion, which may limit opportunities for the TS Hamilton Fund. In addition, evolving regulation of alternative managers, derivatives, leverage and short selling may impose new restrictions, reporting obligations or emergency measures with little notice, impairing liquidity and strategy execution. Adverse developments involving Two Sigma’s regulatory status or potential conflicts with other client mandates could limit its ability to implement investment decisions or execute trades for the TS Hamilton Fund, which may negatively affect the TS Hamilton Fund’s performance and, in turn, our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Returns may be influenced by fee structures and guideline limitations, and prior performance is not a reliable predictor of future results.

The TS Hamilton Fund incurs a 2.5% annual management fee and a 30% incentive allocation, plus an additional 25% incentive allocation on “Excess Profits” above a 10% hurdle. Excess Profits for any given fiscal year (or other accounting period) means the net profits over 10%, net of management fees and expenses and gross of incentive allocations, but only after recouping previously unrecouped net losses. Those fees and incentives can materially reduce net returns and exacerbate drawdowns after loss periods. The TS Hamilton Fund invests through commingled vehicles managed for multiple clients, and while our investment guidelines do not apply to assets inside the TS Hamilton Fund, investment guidelines applicable to other Two Sigma clients may influence trade allocation or execution, which could adversely affect the TS Hamilton Fund's performance. Additionally, the historical performance of Two Sigma or the TS Hamilton Fund should not be viewed as indicative of future results, and there is no assurance that past returns will be achieved in the future.

Risks Relating to Taxation

Changes in tax laws, regulations and interpretations, and adverse tax determinations, could materially adversely affect the Company and certain shareholders.

The tax treatment of a holder of Class B common shares, or of a person treated as a holder of such shares for U.S. federal income, state, local or non-U.S. tax purposes, may vary depending on the holder’s particular tax situation. Legislative, judicial or administrative changes or interpretations may be forthcoming that could be retroactive and could affect the tax treatment of the Company and its subsidiaries, or a shareholder’s investment in the Company. Accordingly, the holders of Class B common shares may be adversely impacted by changes in tax rules or changes in the interpretation of existing tax rules in the multiple jurisdictions in which the Company and its subsidiaries operate.

The Company and its non-U.S. subsidiaries may become subject to additional taxation, including in the U.S. Whether a trade or business is being conducted in the U.S. (or whether a non-U.S. subsidiary is otherwise subject to U.S. federal income taxation) is an inherently factual determination, and the Company cannot be certain that the IRS will not contend successfully that the Company or its subsidiaries are or will be engaged in a trade or business in the U.S. In addition, the Company or its subsidiaries may be subject to withholding or other taxes on certain payments, including in circumstances where exemptions or treaty reductions are unavailable.

The Company and its subsidiaries may also be subject to additional taxation and compliance obligations in other jurisdictions, including the U.K. and Bermuda. In the U.K., a non-U.K. incorporated company may be subject to U.K. corporation tax if it carries on a trade in the U.K. through a permanent establishment or is centrally managed and controlled from the U.K., and HMRC might contend successfully that the Company or its subsidiaries are trading in the U.K. through a permanent establishment (or otherwise exposed to U.K. corporation tax) in circumstances where treaty protection is unavailable. In Bermuda, corporate income tax may apply to certain Bermuda-based entities, and the Company, its operations, or shareholders may become subject to additional tax compliance in Bermuda and other countries.

63


U.S. Holders will be subject to adverse tax consequences if the Company is considered a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

In general, a non-U.S. corporation will be a PFIC during a given year if (i) 75% or more of its gross income constitutes “passive income” (the “75% test”) or (ii) 50% or more of its assets produce (or are held for the production of) passive income (the “50% test”). If the Company were characterized as a PFIC during a given year, each U.S. Holder would be subject to a penalty tax at the time of the taxable disposition of a gain of, or receipt of an “excess distribution” with respect to its shares, unless such person is a 10% U.S. Holder subject to tax under the CFC rules or such person made a “qualified electing fund” (“QEF”) election or, if the Class B common shares are treated as “marketable stock” in such year, such person made a mark-to-market election. In addition, if the Company were considered a PFIC, upon the death of any U.S. individual owning shares, such individual’s heirs or estate would not be entitled to a “step-up” in the basis of the shares that might otherwise be available under U.S. federal income tax laws. In addition, a distribution paid by the Company to U.S. Holders that is characterized as a dividend and is not characterized as an excess distribution would not be eligible for reduced rates of tax as qualified dividend income if the Company were considered a PFIC in the taxable year in which such dividend is paid or in the preceding taxable year. A U.S. Person that is a shareholder in a PFIC may also be subject to additional information reporting requirements, including the filing of an IRS Form 8621.

For the above purposes, passive income generally includes interest, dividends, annuities and other investment income. The PFIC rules provide that income derived in the active conduct of an insurance business by a qualifying insurance corporation is not treated as passive income (the “insurance income exception”). However, the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “TCJA”) limits the insurance income exception to a non-U.S. insurance company that is a qualifying insurance corporation that would be taxable as an insurance company if it were a U.S. corporation and maintains insurance liabilities of more than 25% of such company’s assets for a taxable year (the “25% Test”) or maintains insurance liabilities that at least equal or exceed 10% of its assets, is predominantly engaged in an insurance business and satisfies a facts-and-circumstances test that requires a showing that the failure to exceed the 25% threshold is due to runoff-related or rating-related circumstances (the “10% Test”, and together with the 25% Test, the “Reserve Test”). The Company believes that the Company's non-U.S. insurance subsidiaries have met this Reserve Test and will continue to do so in the foreseeable future, in which case the Company would not be expected to be a PFIC, although no assurance may be given that the Reserve Test will be met by the Company's non-U.S. insurance subsidiaries in future years.

Further, the Treasury Department issued final and proposed regulations intended to clarify the application of the insurance income exception to the classification of a non-U.S. insurer as a PFIC and provide guidance on a range of issues relating to PFICs (the “2021 Regulations”). The 2021 Regulations add additional requirements that must be met to satisfy the “active conduct of an insurance business” test.

The Company believes that, based on the implementation of its business plan and the application of the look-through rule and the exceptions set out under Section 1297 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), none of the income and assets of the Company's non-U.S. insurance company subsidiaries should be treated as passive pursuant to the 25% Test, and thus the Company should not be characterized as a PFIC under current law for the current taxable year or for foreseeable future years, but because of the legal uncertainties, as well as factual uncertainties with respect to the Company’s planned operations, there is a risk that the Company will be characterized as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In addition, because of the legal uncertainties relating to how the 2021 Regulations will be interpreted and the form in which the proposed 2021 Regulations may be finalized, no assurance can be given that the Company will not qualify as a PFIC under final IRS guidance or any future regulatory proposal or interpretation that may be subsequently introduced and promulgated. If the Company is considered a PFIC, it could have material adverse tax consequences for an investor that is subject to U.S. federal income taxation. Investors should consult their tax advisors as to the effects of the PFIC rules and the possibility of making a “protective” QEF election or “mark-to-market” election.

64


U.S. Holders of 10% or more of the Company’s Class B common shares may be subject to U.S. income taxation under the CFC rules.

Each 10% U.S. Holder of a non-U.S. corporation that is a CFC during a taxable year and that owns shares in the CFC, directly or indirectly through non-U.S. entities, on the last day of the non-U.S. corporation’s taxable year that the non-U.S. corporation is a CFC, generally must include in its gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes its pro rata share of the CFC’s “subpart F income”, and global intangible low taxed income (“GILTI”), even if the subpart F income or GILTI is not distributed. A non-U.S. corporation is considered a CFC if 10% U.S. Holders own (directly, indirectly through non-U.S. entities or by attribution by application of the constructive ownership rules of Section 958(b) of the Code (i.e., “constructively”)) more than 50% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of such non-U.S. corporation, or more than 50% of the total value of all stock of such corporation. For purposes of taking into account insurance income, which is a category of subpart F income, a CFC also includes a non-U.S. corporation that earns insurance income in which more than 25% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock or more than 25% of the total value of all stock is owned by 10% U.S. Holders on any day of the taxable year of such corporation, if the gross amount of premiums or other consideration for the reinsurance or the issuing of insurance or annuity contracts exceeds 75% of the gross amount of all premiums or other consideration in respect of all risks. A 10% U.S. Holder is a U.S. Person who owns (directly, indirectly through non-U.S. entities or constructively) at least 10% of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the non-U.S. corporation.

If a U.S. Person were to be characterized as 10% U.S. Holder, such U.S. Holder may be subject to taxation under the CFC rules. Section 1248 of the Code (which generally would require a U.S. Holder to treat certain gains attributable to the sale, exchange or disposition of common shares or preferred shares as a dividend) will apply to the sale or exchange by a U.S. Holder of shares in a foreign corporation that is characterized as a CFC if such U.S. Holder is treated as a 10% U.S. Holder (and, if a company is subject to the related party insurance income (“RPII”) rules, as described below, Section 1248 may apply to a U.S. holder that is not a 10% U.S. Holder).

U.S. Persons who own or are treated as owning Class B common shares may be subject to U.S. income taxation at ordinary income rates on their proportionate share of RPII of the Company's non-U.S. subsidiaries.

If, with respect to any of the Company’s non-U.S. insurance subsidiaries, (i) 20% or more of the gross income in any taxable year is attributable to insurance or reinsurance policies of which the direct or indirect insureds are direct or indirect U.S. Holders (regardless of the number of shares owned by those shareholders) or persons related to such U.S. Holders and (ii) direct or indirect insureds, whether or not U.S. Persons, and persons related to such insureds own directly or indirectly 20% or more (by vote or value) of the Company, U.S. Holders would most likely be required to include their allocable share of the RPII of the applicable subsidiary for the taxable year in their income, even if no distributions are made. Proposed Treasury Regulations published in January 2022 would aggregate all U.S. Holders for purposes of the 50% CFC ownership test above, which would significantly increase the likelihood that such U.S. Holders would be subject to RPII. These proposed regulations also address the RPII treatment of certain cross-insurance arrangements and pass-through entities. Especially in light of these proposed regulations, a direct or indirect U.S. Holder may be required to include amounts in its income in respect of RPII in any taxable year.

Information regarding a U.S. Holder’s identity may be reported to the relevant tax authority to ensure compliance with the FATCA and similar regimes.

The FATCA provisions of the Code generally impose a 30% withholding tax regime with respect to (i) certain U.S. source income (including interest and dividends) (“withholdable payments”) and (ii) “passthru payments” (generally, withholdable payments and payments that are attributable to withholdable payments) made by foreign financial institutions (“FFIs”). Under proposed Treasury Regulations, withholdable payments do not include gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of property that can produce U.S. source interest or dividends. As a general matter, FATCA was designed to require U.S. Persons’ direct and indirect ownership of certain non-U.S. accounts and non-U.S. entities to be reported to the IRS. The application of the FATCA withholding rules was phased in beginning July 1, 2014, with withholding on foreign pass thru payments made by FFIs taking effect after the date of publication of final regulations defining the term foreign pass thru payment.

65


The United States has entered into intergovernmental agreements between the United States and Bermuda, and between the United States and the United Kingdom (the “IGAs”), which potentially modify the FATCA withholding regime described above with respect to the Company and its Class B common shares. The Company and its non-U.S. subsidiaries intend to comply with IGAs and/or FATCA, as applicable. There can be no certainty as to whether the Company will be treated as a FFI under FATCA. Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors regarding the potential impact of FATCA, the IGAs and any non-U.S. legislation implementing FATCA.

The Company may become subject to additional tax compliance in Bermuda and other countries should Bermuda be reinstated on the EU’s list of non-cooperative jurisdictions for tax purposes.

The Council of the European Union temporarily added Bermuda to the list of non-cooperative jurisdictions for tax purposes from March 2019 until May 2019, at which time Bermuda adopted economic substance legislation that the Council of the European Union deemed compliant with its requirements. The Council of the European Union also temporarily added Bermuda to its “grey list” from February 2022 until October 2022. The “grey list” is a list of jurisdictions that have made sufficient commitments to reform their tax practices but remain subject to close monitoring while they are executing on their commitments.

We may become subject to Bermuda corporate income tax under the Corporate Income Tax Act 2023, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

The Government of Bermuda has recently passed the Corporate Income Tax Act 2023, conforming to the OECD BEPS Pillar 2 framework, which will impose corporate income tax on certain Bermuda-based entities for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2025. The Corporate Income Tax Act 2023 will apply to any entity incorporated or formed in Bermuda, or that has a permanent place of business in Bermuda, if that entity is a member of an "In Scope MNE Group" (i.e. a group of entities related through ownership and control that has an annual revenue of 750 million euros or more in a fiscal year, pursuant to the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate parent entity, in at least two of the four fiscal years immediately preceding the fiscal year beginning on or after January 1, 2025, and such group includes at least one entity located in a jurisdiction that is not the parent entity's jurisdiction).

The Corporate Income Tax Act 2023 provides an exemption (for up to five years) from the tax charging provisions of the legislation for "MNE Groups" with a limited international footprint. This exemption is only available to an "MNE Group" (i) that has constituent entities located in five or fewer jurisdictions outside the "reference jurisdiction" (ii) that has, with respect to all constituent entities in all jurisdictions except the "reference jurisdiction", less than EUR 50 million in tangible assets, and (iii) no parent entity is required to apply an income inclusion rule ("IIR") with respect to a constituent entity of the "MNE Group" located in Bermuda. The Company intends to operate in a way that will satisfy these requirements with a view to qualifying for the exemption until January 1, 2030. If the Company does not continually qualify for the exemption described above during the five-year period, the Company could, prior to January 1, 2030, become subject to the tax charging provisions of the Corporate Income Tax Act 2023 which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

The application of the OECD BEPS Pillar 2 framework could adversely impact the Company’s tax liability.

The U.K. has passed legislation conforming to the OECD BEPS Pillar 2 framework, which generally requires that U.K. domiciled entities pay a top-up tax for subsidiary companies in non-U.K. jurisdictions whose effective tax rate is less than 15% (the Income Inclusion Rule or “IIR”) and a top-up tax for U.K. domiciled entities whose effective rate is less than 15%, (the Qualified Domestic Top-up Tax or “QDMTT”). A top-up tax must also be paid by U.K. entities on related non-U.K. entities of a consolidated group that are not already subject to a top-up tax pursuant to the IIR and QDMTT and have not achieved a minimum tax rate of 15% (Under-Taxed Payment Rule or “UTPR”). The law includes transitional provisions that exempt consolidated groups from the UTPR, so long as they operate in six or fewer jurisdictions and have less than EUR 50 million in tangible assets. Ireland has also passed similar conforming legislation, which is substantially similar to the U.K. legislation.

The effect of the UTPR to the Company could be to require the Group’s Irish and U.K. entities to pay a top-up tax to Ireland and/or the U.K., respectively, pursuant to an allocation formula prescribed in the applicable legislation unless the Group is eligible for the respective exemption under that jurisdiction's legislation. The exemption is similar to the exemption allowed in Bermuda and accordingly the Company intends to meet the exemption requirements and be exempt from applying the UTPR to its Bermuda entities until January 1, 2030. However, no assurance can be made that the Company will meet the requirement in
66


all applicable jurisdictions in future years and could become subject to the UTPR if it does not achieve a 15% effective tax rate, inclusive of any corporate income taxes paid to Bermuda. The Bermuda corporate income tax is expected to limit the Company’s exposure to UTPR.

On January 15, 2025, the OECD issued guidance relating to the calculation of tax liabilities pursuant to the UTPR. Specifically, it provides that the reductions of tax due to the economic transition adjustment (“ETA”) allowed under Bermuda tax law will be limited for calculating the UTPR. The ETA is a provision in the Bermuda law which was intended to provide a fair and equitable transition into the tax regime. As prescribed in the Bermuda law, a fair value calculation of the Company’s Bermuda assets and liabilities (including certain intangible assets not included in the GAAP balance sheet) was conducted as of September 30, 2023, and to the extent the fair value exceeded the book value, a deferred tax asset (“DTA”) was booked on the Bermuda balance sheet. The DTA is expected to reduce the Company’s Bermuda tax liability in future years when it becomes subject to the Bermuda Corporate Income Tax regime. The OECD guidance provides that taxable income used to calculate UTPR top-up tax shall only allow for 20% of the total DTA recorded as part of the ETA adjustment and may only recognize this over a two-year period (2025 and 2026). When the Company becomes subject to the UTPR on its Bermuda earnings, it is possible that it will incur a top-up tax liability if the Bermuda constituent entities do not achieve a 15% minimum effective tax rate.

On January 5, 2026, the OECD issued additional guidance introducing various safe harbors from the OECD Pillar 2 rules, effective from January 1, 2026, including a “side-by-side” regime for consolidated groups whose ultimate parent is in a jurisdiction with an eligible tax regime, which eliminates the application of the IIR and UTPR to such consolidated groups. At this time, there remains uncertainty as to how these safe harbors will develop and be implemented by jurisdictions, or their scope and applicability to the Company, and any adverse outcome could result in additional tax liabilities, compliance costs, or limitations on our ability to benefit from such safe harbors, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Related to Regulation

Compliance with existing regulations and potential changes in the regulatory landscape may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We operate under extensive regulation in the U.S., U.K., Ireland, Bermuda and other jurisdictions. Our insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries must maintain minimum capital and liquidity, meet solvency standards, undergo periodic examinations and comply with restrictions on dividends, investments and business activities. Regulators may impose additional requirements or modify existing standards, including risk-based capital frameworks, liquidity ratios or stress-testing protocols. Changes in laws, regulations or interpretations could require us to hold additional capital, limit our ability to move funds between entities or constrain operations, materially adversely affecting our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, it is possible that requirements or guidance under one jurisdiction may be contradictory or divergent from requirements or guidance in other jurisdictions where we operate.

Lloyd’s supervises Syndicate 4000, including approval of business plans and underwriting capacity. Lloyd’s may require plan changes, impose additional capital requirements or levy charges and assessments that could impact our strategy and results. Failure to comply with Lloyd’s requirements could result in sanctions, restrictions on underwriting or reputational harm.

We must maintain licenses and permits in existing and new territories and comply with numerous laws, including insurance regulations, sanctions, anti-money laundering and anti-corruption statutes. Failure to comply could result in fines, license suspension or revocation, reputational damage or other sanctions. Regulatory changes may increase compliance costs, restrict certain activities or require operational restructuring. Jurisdictional or cross-border developments, such as changes in equivalence regimes, tax rules or reciprocal rights, could disadvantage Bermuda-based companies and impair market access.

In addition, global regulatory initiatives, including those related to climate risk, cybersecurity and consumer protection, may impose new reporting obligations and governance requirements, increasing complexity and cost.

Regulatory actions or investigations, even if ultimately resolved without material findings, could divert management attention, increase legal expenses and harm our reputation. Any significant regulatory development or enforcement action could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our business is subject to certain laws and regulations relating to sanctions and foreign corrupt practices, the violation of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We must comply with all applicable economic sanctions and anti-bribery laws and regulations in the United States and other jurisdictions where we operate, including Bermuda, the U.K., Ireland and the EU. U.S. laws and regulations applicable to us include economic trade sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC") and certain laws administered by the U.S. Department of State. Non-U.S. jurisdictions impose their own sanctions regimes, which may differ from those of the United States, creating complexity and increasing the risk of inadvertent violations. These laws are complex, frequently changing and expanding in scope, and may impose additional prohibitions or compliance obligations on our dealings in certain countries, territories or with designated parties.

We are also subject to anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, the U.K. Bribery Act, the Bermuda Bribery Act and the Irish Criminal Justice (Corruption Offences) Act. These laws generally prohibit improper payments or gifts to government officials and impose strict recordkeeping and internal control requirements. Despite our compliance policies and training, it is possible that an employee, intermediary or third-party partner could engage in conduct that violates applicable laws.

Any violation of sanctions or anti-corruption laws could result in severe civil or criminal penalties, substantial fines, restrictions on business activities, loss of licenses, reputational harm and other sanctions. Regulatory investigations, even if resolved without material findings, could divert management attention, increase legal costs and damage our brand. The cumulative effect of these consequences could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our business is subject to cybersecurity, privacy and data protection laws, rules and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we operate, which can increase the cost of doing business, compliance risks and potential liability.

We operate in a complex and rapidly evolving regulatory environment governing cybersecurity, privacy and data protection across multiple jurisdictions. These laws, including U.S. federal and state statutes, EU regulations, and similar regimes in Bermuda and other territories, are increasingly stringent, often inconsistent, and subject to frequent change. Compliance requires significant investment in technology, personnel and processes, and failure to comply could result in severe consequences, including substantial fines, penalties, litigation, reputational harm and operational disruption.

Privacy and information security laws regulate the collection, use, storage and transfer of personal and sensitive data, imposing obligations related to breach notification, consent management and cross-border transfers. Conflicting requirements among jurisdictions create compliance challenges and increase the risk of inadvertent violations. Regulators have broad enforcement powers, and penalties for non-compliance can be severe, including injunctions, monetary fines and restrictions on business activities.

Cybersecurity mandates require robust technical safeguards, incident response protocols and third-party risk management. These obligations apply not only to our systems but also to those of vendors and intermediaries who process data on our behalf. Any failure, by us or a third party, to prevent unauthorized access or misuse of personal or proprietary information could trigger regulatory investigations, enforcement actions and civil litigation, as well as cause reputational damage and loss of customer trust.

The pace of regulatory change is accelerating. Emerging frameworks, such as comprehensive state privacy laws in the U.S. and evolving EU standards, may impose additional compliance burdens and operational constraints. Future developments could require costly system upgrades, changes to business practices or restrictions on data flows, materially adversely affecting our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Any actual or perceived failure to comply with applicable laws, contractual obligations or internal policies, or any significant security incident, could result in substantial costs, management distraction and liability. These risks are compounded by the increasing complexity of global operations and reliance on digital platforms, making cybersecurity and privacy compliance a critical and escalating challenge for our business. Any such event could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

68


Changes in laws, regulations or accounting standards could materially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We operate in multiple jurisdictions and are subject to extensive and evolving regulatory frameworks, including insurance and financial regulations, solvency and capital requirements, data privacy and cybersecurity rules, and emerging standards for AI. For example, the European Union’s AI Act, which was ratified in 2024 with phased implementation beginning in 2025, imposes risk-based compliance obligations on AI systems used in the EU, even by non‑EU companies, and could require significant changes to model development, vendor contracts and data management practices. Additionally, recent NAIC proposals on risk-based capital and U.S. state privacy laws such as the California Privacy Rights Act impose additional compliance obligations. See also our separate risk factor on cybersecurity risks, which addresses operational vulnerabilities and third-party vendor exposure.

The rate of legal and regulatory change, particularly in the U.K. and Ireland, has been increasing in recent years, with initiatives such as Consumer Duty in the U.K. and the Individual Accountability Framework in Ireland adding to the regulatory burden on our operating entities. New laws or amendments to existing regulations may increase compliance costs, restrict underwriting or pricing practices, require modifications to models and systems, or limit our ability to introduce new products. Inconsistent regulatory approaches across jurisdictions may create operational complexity and raise the risk of non‑compliance. Failure to comply with new or amended laws could result in fines, penalties, reputational harm or other consequences that materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, changes in accounting standards or interpretations issued by standard‑setting bodies such as the FASB, IASB, or NAIC could significantly affect how we recognize revenue, measure liabilities, value investments or present financial results. New pronouncements may require system modifications, additional resources and could introduce volatility in reported earnings or equity. Certain proposals under review by the NAIC could alter statutory accounting principles and capital requirements for insurance subsidiaries. We cannot predict the timing or nature of future regulatory or accounting changes, and any such changes could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may be subject to significant legal, governmental or regulatory proceedings.

In the normal course of our business, we are subject to regulatory and governmental investigations and civil actions, litigation and other forms of dispute resolution in various jurisdictions. We are occasionally involved in legal actions which seek extra-contractual damages, punitive damages or penalties, including claims alleging bad faith in handling of insurance claims.

Additionally, from time to time, various regulatory and governmental agencies review our transactions and practices and those of our subsidiaries in connection with industry-wide and other inquiries into, among other matters, the business practices of current and former operating insurance company subsidiaries. Such investigations, inquiries or examinations may develop into administrative, civil or criminal proceedings or enforcement actions, including class-actions, in which remedies could include fines, penalties, restitution, remedial actions, enhanced supervision or alterations in our business practices, and could result in additional expenses, limitations on certain business activities and reputational damage. For a discussion of certain legal proceedings, see Note 15, Commitments and Contingencies to the audited consolidated financial statements.

We are a holding company with no direct operations, and our insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends and other distributions to us is restricted by law.

Hamilton Group is an insurance holding company with no business operations of its own and is a legal entity separate from its subsidiaries. As a result, our ability to pay corporate expenses, service debt, meet tax obligations and fund investments depends largely on dividends and other permitted payments from our insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries, including Hamilton Re, Hamilton U.K. (Hamilton UK Holdings Limited, Hamilton UK Holdings II Limited and HMA), HIDAC and Hamilton Select.

These subsidiaries are subject to regulatory requirements in Bermuda, the U.K., Ireland and Delaware that mandate minimum levels of capital and surplus and restrict dividend payments to amounts derived from net profits. Insurance regulators have broad authority to prevent reductions in capital and surplus and may impose restrictions beyond current requirements. Future changes in applicable laws or interpretations could further limit distributions. If we are unable to receive dividends or other payments from our subsidiaries due to regulatory or other constraints, we could face liquidity shortfalls that materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

69


Bermuda insurance laws regarding the change of control of insurance companies may limit the acquisition of our shares and the voting rights of certain shareholders.

Under Bermuda law, for so long as we have an insurance subsidiary registered under the Insurance Act, the BMA may at any time, by written notice, object to a person holding 10% or more of our common shares if it appears to the BMA that the person is not or is no longer fit and proper to be such a holder. In such a case, the BMA may require the shareholder to reduce its holding of our common shares and direct, among other things, that such shareholder’s voting rights attaching to the common shares shall not be exercisable. A person who does not comply with such a notice or direction from the BMA will be guilty of an offense. This may discourage potential acquisition proposals and may delay, deter or prevent a change of control of our company, including through transactions, and in particular unsolicited transactions, that some or all of our shareholders might consider to be desirable.

Risks Related to Ownership of Our Class B Common Shares

There are provisions in our Bye-laws that may reduce the voting rights of our Class B common shares.

Our Bye-laws generally provide that holders of Class A and Class B common shares have one vote per common share held by them and are entitled to vote together as a single class on all matters on which shareholders are entitled to vote generally, except as otherwise required by law or by our Bye-laws to vote as separate classes. For example, only holders of our Class B common shares may vote for the election or removal of directors, other than for directors who are appointed by certain shareholders pursuant to the Shareholders Agreement and our Bye-laws. Our Bye-laws also include a mechanism that, prior to any shareholder vote, may reallocate voting rights among shareholders in certain circumstances to ensure that specified shareholders and their affiliates are not deemed to hold more than 9.5% of the total combined voting power of the common shares. For votes where Class B holders vote as a separate class (for example, in respect of the election or removal of directors other than for directors who are appointed by certain shareholders pursuant to the Shareholders Agreement and our Bye-laws), such voting power may be reduced by an amount calculated by multiplying (a) 9.5% and (b) the quotient reached by dividing (x) the total number of directors by (y) the number of directors elected by holders of Class B common shares, to avoid certain adverse tax, legal or regulatory consequences (each, “a share voting limitation violation”). As a result, some shareholders may have their voting rights limited to less than one vote per common share and these provisions may also have the effect of reducing the voting power of some shareholders who would not otherwise be subject to the limitation by virtue of their direct Class B common share ownership. We are not required to notify shareholders of any adjustment to their voting power resulting from these provisions.

In addition, our Board of Directors may, in its absolute discretion, make adjustments to the voting power of its shares to the extent necessary or advisable in order (i) to prevent (or reduce the magnitude of) a share voting limitation violation and (ii) to avoid adverse tax, legal or regulatory consequences to the Company, any subsidiary of the Company or any shareholder or its affiliates.

The multiple-class structure of our common shares may limit investors’ ability to influence corporate matters.

Each Class A common share and Class B common share is generally entitled to one vote per share as outlined above, while our Class C common shares have no voting rights, except as otherwise required by law. Our Class A and C common shares will automatically convert into shares of our Class B common shares, on a share-for-share basis, upon future transfers (unless transferred to a “permitted transferee” as provided in our Bye-laws). In addition, our Bye-laws provide that, upon request from a holder of Class C common shares to the Company and upon approval of such request by our Board of Directors, such Class C common shares shall be redesignated as Class B common shares. If holders of our non-voting Class C common shares effectuate transfers that result in conversion of Class C common shares to Class B common shares or if Class C common shares are redesignated as Class B common shares upon request from a holder of Class C common shares and approved by our Board of Directors, this will have the effect of decreasing the voting power of the holders of our Class B common shares, which may limit the ability of holders of Class B common shares to influence corporate matters.

70


Anti-takeover provisions in our Bye-laws could delay management changes or limit share price.

As the Company is incorporated under the laws of Bermuda, it is subject to Bermuda law. The English Takeover Code (the “Takeover Code”) does not apply to the Company. Subject to limited exceptions, Bermuda law does not include provisions comparable to those in certain other jurisdictions that regulate the conduct of takeovers. It is therefore possible that an offeror may gain control of the Company in circumstances where non-selling shareholders do not receive, or are not given the opportunity to receive, the benefit of any control premium paid to selling shareholders. Our Bye-laws contain certain anti-takeover provisions, although these will not provide the full protections afforded by the Takeover Code. These provisions provide for:

•requiring advance notice for shareholder proposals and nominations for persons to serve as directors and placing limitations on shareholders to submit resolutions to a shareholder vote and requisition special general meetings;
•a large number of authorized but unissued shares which may be issued by the Board of Directors without further shareholder action;
•requiring majority of the Board of Directors voting in the affirmative and directors representing less than fifteen percent of the entire Board of Directors voting in opposition to enter into or consummate any transaction or series of transactions involving a merger, amalgamation, consolidation, exchange, scheme of arrangement, recapitalization or similar business combination transaction, other than any merger or consolidation solely between or among any two or more of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries that are not material subsidiaries; and
•requiring majority of the Board of Directors voting in the affirmative and directors representing less than fifteen percent of the entire Board of Directors voting in opposition to enter into or consummate any transaction or series of transactions involving any sale, pledge, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Company and its subsidiaries.

These provisions in our Bye-laws may discourage takeover offers which would be considered favorable and that could in turn adversely affect the value of the Class B common shares. Even in the absence of a takeover attempt, these provisions may adversely affect the value of the Class B common shares if they are viewed as discouraging takeover attempts in the future.

Investors may have difficulties in serving process or enforcing judgments against us in the United States.

We are incorporated under the laws of Bermuda and a material portion of our assets are located outside the United States. There is no treaty in effect between the U.S. and Bermuda providing for the enforcement of judgments of U.S. courts, and there are grounds upon which Bermuda courts may not enforce judgments of U.S. courts. As a result, it may not be possible to enforce court judgments of U.S. courts, including judgments predicated upon civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities law. For enforcement of any judgment against the Company or its directors or officers, or for the settlement of any dispute, it may be necessary to institute legal proceedings outside the United States, and no assurances can be given that any such proceedings can be initiated. No claim may be brought in Bermuda against the Company or its directors and officers in the first instance for violation of U.S. federal securities laws. If such proceedings are initiated, there may be doubt as to the enforceability in non-U.S. jurisdictions, either in original actions or for enforcement of judgments of U.S. courts, for liabilities predicated upon U.S. federal securities laws.

Because we currently expect to retain earnings to support our growth, investors may realize a return on their investment only through an increase in the market price of our Class B common shares.

We have not historically declared or paid regular cash dividends on our Class B common shares. In February 2026 our Board of Directors declared a one-time special cash dividend; however, we do not have a policy of paying regular cash dividends and currently anticipate retaining earnings to support the development and growth of our business. Any future decision regarding the declaration and payment of dividends will be made by our Board of Directors at its discretion and will depend on a variety of factors, including our results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, contractual restrictions under our debt agreements, applicable law, and other considerations the Board may deem relevant.

Our ability to pay dividends may also be limited by covenants in existing or future indebtedness. As a result, investors should not expect cash dividends in the near term, and the primary way to realize a return on an investment in our Class B common shares would be through appreciation in the share price, which is not guaranteed.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments 

None.

Item 1C. Cybersecurity

Managing risks related to cybersecurity is a priority for Hamilton, and we focus on assessing, identifying, and managing material risks associated with “cybersecurity threats,” as such term is defined in Item 106(a) of Regulation S‑K. Both our management and Board of Directors recognize the importance of developing, implementing, and maintaining appropriate cybersecurity measures and, as described below, are actively involved in cybersecurity and overall enterprise risk management.

Cybersecurity Risk Management and Strategy

We maintain a cybersecurity risk management program that is integrated into our enterprise risk management function. The program is designed to assess, identify, manage, and protect our information systems and data from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction. Identifying, assessing, and managing cybersecurity risk within Hamilton utilizes the same or similar methodologies, reporting channels, and governance processes as those in our broader risk management program, including legal, compliance, strategic, operational, and financial risk areas.

We have implemented and maintain several safeguards and processes designed to identify cybersecurity risks and protect our information systems from cybersecurity threats. We also conduct internal IT audits of our cybersecurity posture and perform scenario‑based cybersecurity risk assessments to ensure that appropriate controls are in place. We require employees to undergo annual cybersecurity awareness training, monitor emerging laws and regulations relating to data protection and information security, and use multilayered technical tools to perform proactive privacy and cybersecurity vulnerability assessments of our systems and applications, including scanning for and addressing identified risks.

To stay current on cybersecurity matters affecting the insurance industry and marketplace generally, our Chief Information Security Officer (“CISO”) is an active member of the International Information System Security Certification Consortium and regularly participates in cybersecurity‑focused conferences and forums, including serving on the Chief Information Security Officers Committee of the Lloyd’s Market Association.

In 2025, following the retirement of our Chief Technology Officer, responsibility for technology leadership transitioned to our Chief Information Officer (“CIO”). The CIO, together with the CISO and in coordination with our legal and compliance teams, is responsible for implementing our cybersecurity risk management program and is involved in all aspects of incident response and breach‑management processes. These processes include six stages: (1) detection, (2) analysis, (3) containment, (4) eradication, (5) recovery, and (6) notification. Security events and data incidents are evaluated for severity and potential impact on our operations, business, and data, and responses are prioritized accordingly. As part of our business continuity and disaster recovery strategies, we regularly test our ability to restore systems impacted by a cybersecurity event or incident. We also engage third‑party advisors annually to perform penetration tests of our infrastructure.

As part of our risk management program, we assess third‑party risks, including risks posed by vendors, suppliers, and other business partners. Cybersecurity practices and risks are evaluated when selecting third‑party service providers and when negotiating contractual provisions relating to security and privacy, including information‑security audit rights. Before engaging new critical IT vendors, we require them to complete questionnaires concerning their IT and security processes, controls, and certifications. The CISO or designated members of the cybersecurity team review responses against a checklist of minimum requirements that must be met for Hamilton to consider the service provider a trusted vendor. We then follow up with approved vendors annually for updated certifications.

We maintain an incident response plan to address cybersecurity incidents, which identifies key stakeholders, defines escalation processes, and sets the thresholds above which our cybersecurity, legal, and crisis‑management teams will inform senior management and our Board of Directors of a cybersecurity incident. For incidents below those thresholds, subordinate incident response plans and standard operating procedures are used by our security incident response team. Although we routinely identify and respond to lower‑level security events as part of normal cybersecurity risk‑management processes, to date we have not identified any direct or third‑party cybersecurity incidents, or otherwise identified cybersecurity threats, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect Hamilton, including our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition.

72


While there have been no material cybersecurity incidents affecting Hamilton during the period covered by this annual report, no assurance can be given that our policies and procedures will be properly followed in every instance or will be fully effective, or that future incidents will not materially affect us. For further discussion of risks associated with cybersecurity threats, see “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business and Industry—Interruptions to or failures of the information technology systems upon which we rely, including those resulting from cybersecurity attacks and security breaches, could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations” and “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Regulation—Our business is subject to cybersecurity, privacy and data protection laws, rules and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we operate, which can increase the cost of doing business, compliance risks and potential liability.”

Cybersecurity Board Oversight and Governance

Cybersecurity is a component of our Board’s oversight responsibilities. In 2025, the Board established a Technology Committee to assist the Board in its oversight of the Company's technology strategy, technology service delivery, technology governance and cybersecurity risk management program. The Technology Committee receives regular reports from our CIO, CISO, and other senior management regarding cybersecurity risks and incidents, business continuity exercises, completed and ongoing cyber audits, security metrics, penetration‑testing results and remediation progress, data‑governance initiatives, and cyber‑insurance coverage.

The Audit Committee retains primary responsibility for oversight of enterprise‑level cybersecurity risk. Significant matters identified by the Technology Committee, CIO, CISO, or senior management are escalated to the Audit Committee. Both the Technology Committee and the Audit Committee report to the full Board, which maintains ultimate responsibility for oversight of the Company’s risk‑management framework.

At the management level, cybersecurity oversight is supported by our cross-functional Risk Management Working Group, which is part of our enterprise risk-management program. On at least a quarterly basis—and more frequently as needed—the CIO, CISO, and other senior personnel provide updates to the Risk Management Working Group, Technology Committee, and Audit Committee regarding cybersecurity risk assessments, emerging threats, incident readiness, audit findings, remediation progress, business continuity and disaster recovery testing, regulatory developments, and the status of key information-security initiatives. Material issues are escalated to the Technology and Audit Committees to ensure alignment and timely action.

Senior management responsible for managing material cybersecurity risks have extensive cybersecurity and IT experience. Our CIO previously served in multiple senior technology leadership roles in the insurance and financial sectors and was inducted into the CIO Hall of Fame in 2018, reflecting recognized expertise in enterprise technology and information security. Our CISO has approximately two decades of experience in senior engineering, infrastructure, and information-security roles within the financial services industry, providing deep technical knowledge to support cybersecurity risk management.

Item 2. Properties 

We lease office space in Bermuda, which houses our headquarters and principal executive offices, as well as in other locations throughout the U.S., U.K. and Ireland. We believe that our current office space is sufficient for us to conduct our operations, although our needs may change in the future. To date, the cost of acquiring and maintaining our office space has not been material to us as a whole.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

The information required by this Item relating to legal proceedings is incorporated herein by reference to information included in Note 15, Commitments and Contingencies of the accompanying notes to our accompanying audited consolidated financial statements.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures 

None.

Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities 

Market Information and Number of Holders

Our Class B common shares began trading on the NYSE under the symbol "HG" on November 13, 2023. Prior to that time, there was no public market for our common shares. As of February 19, 2026, there were approximately 2, 128 and 2 holders of record of our Class A, B and C common shares, respectively. These figures do not represent the actual number of beneficial owners of our common shares because shares are frequently held in "street name" by securities dealers and other financial institutions on behalf of our shareholders. Our Class A and Class C common shares are not listed or traded on any securities exchange and there is currently no established public trading market for our Class A or C common shares.

Dividends

We have not historically declared or paid regular cash dividends on any class of our common shares. On February 18, 2026 our Board of Directors declared a special one-time cash dividend of $2.00 per common share payable on March 30, 2026 to shareholders of record on March 6, 2026. However, we do not have a policy of paying regular cash dividends and currently anticipate retaining earnings to finance the further development and expansion of our business. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors, subject to applicable laws, and will depend on our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, general business conditions and future agreements and financing instruments, business prospects, and such other factors that our Board of Directors deems relevant. Our ability to pay cash dividends on our common shares may also be limited by the terms of the existing (or future) agreements governing our indebtedness as well as any future debt securities we may issue.

Overview

Hamilton Insurance Group, Ltd. ("Hamilton", "Hamilton Group", the "Group" or the "Company") is a global specialty insurance and reinsurance company founded in Bermuda in 2013, enhanced by data and technology, focused on producing sustainable underwriting profitability and delivering significant shareholder value. We intend to continue growing our diverse book of business by responding to changing market conditions, prudently managing our capital, and driving sustainable shareholder returns.

We harness multiple drivers to create shareholder value, including diverse underwriting operations supported by proprietary technology and a team of over 600 full-time employees, a strong balance sheet, and a unique investment management relationship with Two Sigma. We operate globally, with underwriting operations in London, Dublin, Bermuda and across the United States.

We operate three principal underwriting platforms (Hamilton Global Specialty, Hamilton Select and Hamilton Re) that are categorized into two reporting business segments (International and Bermuda):

•International: International consists of business written out of our Lloyd’s syndicate and subsidiaries based in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and the United States, and includes the Hamilton Global Specialty and Hamilton Select platforms.

•Hamilton Global Specialty focuses predominantly on commercial specialty and casualty insurance for medium to large-sized accounts and specialty reinsurance products written by Lloyd’s Syndicate 4000 and Hamilton Insurance DAC ("HIDAC"). Syndicate 4000, a leading Lloyd’s syndicate, generates a significant portion of premium from the U.S. Excess & Surplus ("E&S") market and has ranked among the most profitable and least volatile syndicates at Lloyd’s over the last 10 years.

•Hamilton Select, our U.S. domestic E&S carrier, writes casualty insurance for small to mid-sized clients in the hard-to-place niche of the U.S. E&S market. We believe it presents meaningful and profitable growth opportunities in the near-to-long term, further expanding our footprint in the U.S. E&S market.

•Bermuda: Bermuda consists of the Hamilton Re platform, made up of Hamilton Re and Hamilton Re US. Hamilton Re writes property, casualty and specialty reinsurance business on a global basis and also offers high excess Bermuda market specialty insurance products, predominantly for large U.S. commercial risks. Hamilton Re US writes casualty and specialty reinsurance business on a global basis.

We seek to prudently manage our capital with the objective of effectively navigating different market conditions and generating strong underwriting margins throughout all market cycles. Our scaled and diversified platforms and product offerings, and our broad industry relationships provide significant opportunity to underwrite our chosen classes of property, casualty and specialty insurance and reinsurance as market opportunities arise. Leveraging our disciplined underwriting approach, balance sheet strength and flexibility, and real-time technology prowess, we can respond dynamically to capture opportunities as markets evolve.

One of our key strategic priorities is sustainable underwriting profitability across the business we write. Our data-driven and disciplined underwriting processes position us to intelligently price and structure our products and our business portfolio. We maintain trusted and long-standing relationships with our clients and brokers, who we believe will continue to provide us with increased access to attractive business.

We see continued growth opportunities in both the insurance and reinsurance markets in which we operate and intend to pursue disciplined growth across our underwriting platforms. In recent years the E&S market has benefited from a strong rate environment and increased submissions as business has shifted into the non-admitted market from the admitted market. Non-admitted insurers are able to cover unique and hard-to-place risks because they have flexibility of rate and form and can accommodate the unique needs of insureds who are unable to obtain coverage from admitted carriers. We believe the access our three underwriting platforms have to U.S. E&S insurance business allows us to build a robust and diversified book of business and achieve our profitable growth objectives throughout various market cycles.

In recent years, reinsurance business experienced a supply/demand imbalance in a number of classes, which created strong market conditions. This, combined with our relatively recent AM Best "A" rating upgrade, allowed us to accelerate growth opportunities in these areas. We have observed a slight change in the supply/demand dynamics in some reinsurance classes this year, particularly property and some specialty classes, which is creating flatter market conditions. However, we believe pricing is still attractive in most areas. Strong underlying market conditions persist in casualty classes, due to continued uncertainty around social inflation.

Our strong, sustainable underwriting operations are complemented by our unique investment portfolio, which consists of the Two Sigma Hamilton Fund, LLC ("TS Hamilton Fund" or "TSHF"), and our investment grade fixed income portfolio, which is currently benefiting from favorable interest rates. We will continue to optimize our investment portfolio through a balanced allocation of invested assets and maintain the flexibility to adjust this allocation as needed. We believe our strategy of disciplined underwriting growth, balanced with our investment platform, will drive our ability to create shareholder value.

We have a unique and long-term investment management relationship with Two Sigma. Founded in 2001, Two Sigma is a premier investment manager with a strong track record, driven by a differentiated application of technology and data science. The TS Hamilton Fund is a dedicated fund of one managed by Two Sigma with exposures to certain Two Sigma equity and macro strategies and is designed to provide low-correlated absolute returns, primarily by combining multiple hedged and leveraged systematic and non-systematic investment strategies with proprietary risk management and execution techniques. The TS Hamilton Fund invests in a broad set of financial instruments and is primarily focused on liquid strategies in global equity, FX markets, exchange-listed and over the counter options (and their underlying instruments) and other derivatives. This liquidity profile fits well with our business, while also providing the benefit of access to a dedicated fund of one.

Two Sigma has broad discretion to allocate invested assets to different opportunities. Its current investments include Two Sigma Spectrum Portfolio, LLC ("STV"), Two Sigma Equity Spectrum Portfolio, LLC ("ESTV"), Two Sigma Absolute Return Portfolio, LLC ("ATV"), Two Sigma Futures Portfolio, LLC ("FTV"), Two Sigma Horizon Portfolio, LLC ("HTV"), Two Sigma Navigator Portfolio, LLC ("NTV") and Two Sigma Kuiper Portfolio, LLC ("KTV"). The TS Hamilton Fund’s trading and investment activities are not limited to these strategies and techniques and the TS Hamilton Fund is permitted to pursue any investment strategy and/or technique that Two Sigma determines in its sole discretion to be appropriate for the TS Hamilton Fund from time to time.

Effects of Inflation

Historically, inflation has not had a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations. However, over the last several years, global economic inflation has increased, and there is a risk that it will remain elevated for an extended period. Inflation is subject to many macroeconomic factors beyond our control, including global banking policy, political risks and supply chain issues. An inflationary economy may result in higher losses and loss adjustment expenses, negatively impact the performance of our fixed income security investment portfolio, or increase our operating expenses, among other unfavorable effects. The ultimate effects of an inflationary or deflationary period are subject to high uncertainty and cannot be accurately estimated until the actual costs are known.

In the wake of a catastrophe loss there is a risk of specific inflationary pressures in the local economy, which is considered in our catastrophe loss models. Similarly, the Company incorporates the anticipated effects of inflation in our ultimate estimate of the reserves for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses on certain long-tail lines of business. As with general economic inflation, the actual effects of inflation on reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses and results of operations cannot be accurately known until all of the underlying claims are ultimately settled.

Taxes

On December 27, 2023, the Bermuda Government enacted a 15% corporate income tax that generally became effective for Bermuda domiciled entities on or after January 1, 2025. The legislation defers the effective date until January 1, 2030 for so long as the consolidated group operates in six or fewer jurisdictions, has less than €50 million in tangible assets and none of its Bermuda entities are subject to the Income Inclusion Rule in any other jurisdiction ("Limited International Footprint Exemption"). The act is a response to the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development ("OECD") Pillar Two initiative as enacted by the U.K. and Ireland in their respective domestic laws. In substance, these laws require a top-up tax be paid on Bermuda-sourced income to non-Bermuda jurisdictions such that a 15% minimum effective tax rate ("ETR") is achieved for Hamilton Group’s Bermuda entities, the Undertaxed Profits Rule ("UTPR"). Hamilton Group expects to be exempt from the UTPR until January 1, 2030, pursuant to an exemption similar to that available in Bermuda. The Bermuda legislation includes a provision referred to as the Economic Transition Adjustment ("ETA"), which will reduce future years' Bermuda taxable income. As of December 31, 2025, the Company holds a deferred tax asset of $35.4 million on its balance sheet related to the ETA.

On January 15, 2025, the OECD issued additional guidance related to the calculation of income subject to taxation under the Pillar Two initiative. Specifically, it provided that for purposes of calculating the UTPR, a deduction for the ETA will not be allowed in years after 2026. Accordingly, when Hamilton Group becomes subject to the UTPR, expected in 2030, it is possible that a top-up tax liability will arise to the extent that it does not achieve a 15% minimum ETR on its Bermuda taxable earnings, excluding the ETA deduction. If Hamilton were to incur a UTPR top-up tax on its Bermuda earnings, the liability would be recorded in the period and jurisdiction in which it is incurred.

Hamilton reported an income tax benefit of $15.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, which equates to an ETR of (1.8)%. This was lower than the Bermuda statutory rate of 15%, primarily driven by the Limited International Footprint Exemption and a net release of valuation allowances on deferred tax assets in the U.K. and the U.S., partially offset by withholding taxes on investment income from the TS Hamilton Fund. Hamilton reported an income tax expense of $8.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, which equates to an ETR of 1.4%. In 2024, this was higher than the Bermuda statutory rate of 0%, due primarily to income generated in jurisdictions with higher tax rates than Bermuda and withholding taxes on investment income from the TS Hamilton Fund. Hamilton reported an income tax benefit of $25.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, which equates to ETR of (9.8%), which was lower than the Bermuda statutory rate of 0%, due primarily to the effect of the ETA benefit, partially offset by withholding taxes on investment income from the TS Hamilton Fund.

Summary of Critical Accounting Estimates

The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include certain amounts that are inherently uncertain and judgmental in nature. As a result, management is required to make best estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts.

The following discussion addresses those accounting policies and estimates that we believe are most critical to our operations and require the most difficult, subjective and complex judgment. Actual events that differ significantly from the underlying assumptions and estimates used in these statements may result in materially favorable or unfavorable adjustments to prior estimates that affect our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. The sensitivity estimates that follow are based on the Company’s assessment of reasonably likely outcomes.

These critical accounting estimates should be read in conjunction with the notes to the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements, including Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, for a full understanding of the Company’s accounting policies.

Reserve for Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses

Overview

The estimated reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses ("loss reserves") represents management’s best estimate of the unpaid portion of the Company’s ultimate liability for losses and loss adjustment expenses for insured and reinsured events that have occurred at or before the balance sheet date, based on its assessment of facts and circumstances known at that particular point in time. Loss reserves reflect both claims that have been reported to the Company ("case reserves") and claims that have been incurred but not reported to the Company ("IBNR").

Loss reserves are complex estimates, not an exact calculation of liabilities. Management reviews loss reserve estimates at each quarterly reporting date and considers all significant facts and circumstances known at that particular point in time. As additional experience and other data becomes available and/or laws and legal interpretations change, management may adjust previous estimates. Adjustments are recognized in the period in which they are determined and may impact that period's underwriting results either favorably (when current estimates are lower than previous estimates) or unfavorably (when current estimates are higher than previous estimates).

Gross loss reserves for each of the reportable segments, segregated between case reserves and IBNR, by reserve class, are shown below:

Case Reserves

With respect to insurance business, the Company is generally notified of losses by brokers and/or insureds. The Company’s claims personnel use this and other relevant information to estimate ultimate covered losses arising from the claim, including the cost of claims adjustment administration and settlement, including any legal or other fees. These estimates reflect the judgment of the Company’s claims personnel based on their experience and knowledge, the nature of the specific claim and, where appropriate, the advice of legal counsel, third party claims administrators and loss adjusters. In syndicated markets, such as Lloyd’s, the Company’s case reserves may also be based in part on information provided by the lead insurer.

With respect to reinsurance business, the Company is typically notified of losses by brokers and/or ceding companies. For excess of loss contracts, the Company is typically notified of insured losses on specific contracts in the form of an individual loss notification and records a case reserve for the estimated ultimate liability arising from the claim. For contracts written on a proportional basis, the Company typically receives aggregated claims information in the form of a loss bordereaux and records a case reserve for the estimated ultimate liability arising from the claim based on that information. Proportional reinsurance contracts typically require that losses in excess of pre-defined amounts be separately notified so that the Company can adequately evaluate them. The Company’s claims department evaluates each specific loss notification received and, based on their knowledge and experience, may record additional case reserves when a ceding company’s reserve for a claim is considered inadequate. The Company also undertakes cedant audits, using outsourced legal and industry experience where necessary. This allows the Company to review different cedants’ claims handling practices, understand the level of prudence employed by different cedants and ensure that reserves are consistent with exposures, adequately established, and properly reported in a timely manner.

IBNR

IBNR estimates are necessary due to the potential development on reported claims and the reporting time lag between when a loss event occurs and when it is actually reported (the "reporting lag"). Reporting lags may arise from a number of factors, including but not limited to the nature of the loss, the use of intermediaries and the complexity of the claims adjusting process. The lack of specific information means the Company must make estimates. IBNR is calculated by deducting incurred losses (i.e. paid losses and case reserves) from management’s best estimate of the ultimate losses. Unlike case reserves, which are established at the claim or contract level, IBNR reserves are generally established at an aggregate level and cannot be identified as reserves for a particular loss event or contract.

Reserving Methodology

When conducting actuarial analysis, management organizes the Company’s recorded reserves into exposure groupings based on reasonably homogeneous loss development characteristics, underwriting years and reserving classes. Management periodically reviews the exposure groupings and may make changes to the groupings over time as the Company’s business changes.

The actuarial methodologies used to perform the quarterly reserving analysis that determines our estimate of the ultimate reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses for each exposure group include:

•Initial expected loss ratio ("IELR") method: The IELR method calculates an estimate of ultimate losses by applying an estimated loss ratio to an estimate of ultimate earned premium for each underwriting year. The estimated loss ratio may be based on pricing information and/or industry data and/or historical claims experience revalued to the year under review;
•Bornhuetter-Ferguson method: The Bornhuetter-Ferguson method uses as a starting point an assumed IELR and blends in the claims experience to date using historical or benchmark loss development patterns on paid claims data or reported claims data. Although the method tends to provide less volatile indications at early stages of development and reflects changes in the external environment, it can be slow to react to emerging loss development and may, if the IELR proves to be inaccurate, produce loss estimates which take longer to converge with the final settlement value of loss; and
•Loss development method: The loss development method uses actual loss data and the historical development profiles on older underwriting years to project more recent, less developed years to their ultimate position.

85


Our actuaries may use other approaches in addition to those described, and supplement these methods with judgement where they deem appropriate, depending upon the characteristics of the class of business and available data.

For certain significant events, such as natural catastrophes or large man-made catastrophic events, traditional actuarial methods may not be suitable for estimating losses for reasons that may include lack of claims data or the existence of additional risks related to the specific event circumstances. For example, the estimates of loss reserves related to hurricanes and earthquakes can be affected by factors including, but not limited to, the inability to access portions of impacted areas, infrastructure disruptions, the complexity of the loss scenario, legal and regulatory uncertainties, complexities involved in estimating business interruption losses and additional living expenses, the impact of demand surge, fraud, and the limitations on available information. For hurricanes, additional complex coverage factors may include determining whether damage was caused by flooding or wind, evaluating general liability and pollution exposures and mold damage. Other recent examples include possible claims arising from the COVID-19 pandemic and the Ukraine conflict, where additional risks included material uncertainties around whether insured loss events had occurred, the timing of such events, and uncertainty over how contract wording applies in the case of insurance and reinsurance policies.

The timing of events can also affect the level of information available to the Company to estimate loss reserves for that reporting period, and therefore the reserving methods adopted. For example, for events occurring near the end of a reporting period, greater reliance may be placed on information derived from catastrophe models, and, where available and relevant, additional quantitative and qualitative exposure analyses, reports and communications of ground up losses from ceding companies, and development patterns for historically similar events. Due to the inherent uncertainty in estimating losses from such events, these estimates are subject to variability, which increases with the severity and complexity of the underlying event.

In addition to the Company’s quarterly reserving process, an independent actuarial review is carried out semi-annually by a leading independent actuarial consulting firm in order to provide additional insight into the reserving process, specific industry trends and the overall level of the Company’s loss reserves. Management reviews the information provided in the independent actuarial review in determining its own best estimate of reserves.

Management believes that it is prudent in its reserving assumptions and methodologies. However, we cannot be certain that our ultimate loss payments will not vary, perhaps materially, from the initial estimates made. We note that the process of estimating required reserves, by its very nature, involves uncertainty and therefore the ultimate claims may fall outside the actuarial range. The level of uncertainty can be influenced by many factors, including but not limited to unknown future in-claim value inflation, the existence of coverage with long duration reporting patterns, changes in the speed of claims data being received and processed, contractual uncertainties for unusual claim events, as well as the other factors previously discussed.

If we determine that adjustments to an earlier estimate are appropriate, such adjustments are recorded in the reporting period in which they are identified and may have a significant favorable or unfavorable impact on that period’s results of operations. We regularly review and update these estimates using the most current information available.

Management’s Best Estimate

The Company’s recorded reserves at each reporting date reflect management’s best estimate of the ultimate reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses at that date. Management completes quarterly reserve studies for each exposure group for its International and Bermuda segments. Management analyzes significant variances between internal and external actuarial estimates, as well as any relevant additional market, underwriting or claims data that may be available and relevant for setting management’s best estimate of ultimate reserves. As a result of these considerations, the selected reserve estimate may be higher or lower than the indicated external actuarial estimate.

86


The Company’s best estimates are point estimates within a range of reasonable actuarial estimates. To provide an indication of the possible size of this range, in the following table we have compared the point estimate for net losses and loss adjustment expenses recorded by each reportable segment with a range of reasonable actuarial estimates:

December 31, 2025
($ in thousands)Recorded Point EstimateHighLow
International$1,366,958 $1,518,817 $1,166,031 
Bermuda1,672,361 $1,896,112 $1,382,946 
Net reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses$3,039,319 

It is important to note that the "High" and "Low" estimates above are not intended to be "worst-case" or "best-case" scenarios, and it is possible that final settlements of the reserves for these losses and loss adjustment expenses could fall outside of these ranges.

It is not appropriate to add together the ranges of each reportable segment in an effort to determine a high and low range around the Company’s total reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses.

Prior Year Reserve Development

Prior year reserve development arises from changes to estimates for losses and loss adjustment expenses related to loss events that occurred in previous periods. Favorable prior year reserve development indicates that current estimates are lower than previous estimates, while unfavorable prior year reserve development indicates that current estimates are higher than previous estimates. The following table presents net prior year reserve development by reportable segment:

For a detailed discussion of net (favorable) unfavorable prior year reserve development by reportable segment for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 see Results of Operations.

Claim Tail Analysis

One of the key selection characteristics for loss exposure groupings is the historical duration of the claims settlement process. Business in which claims are reported and settled relatively quickly are commonly referred to as short-tail lines, for example, property classes. On the other hand, business in which claims tend to take longer to be reported and settled are commonly referred to as long-tail lines, for example, casualty classes.

Although estimates of ultimate losses for short-tail business are usually inherently more certain than for medium and long-tail business, significant judgment is still required. Additionally, the inherent uncertainties relating to catastrophe events add further complexity to potential exposure estimation. Further, the Company uses MGAs and other producers for certain business, which can delay the receipt of loss information.

Although the Company uses similar actuarial methodologies for both short-tail and long-tail lines in respect of non-headline loss events, the faster reporting of experience for the short-tail lines allows management to have greater confidence in its estimates of ultimate losses for short-tail lines at an earlier stage than for long-tail lines. As a result, the Company’s estimates of ultimate losses for shorter tail lines, with the exception of loss estimates for headline loss events, generally exhibit less volatility than those for the longer tail lines. For longer tail lines, management utilizes exposure-based methods to estimate the Company’s ultimate losses, especially for immature years. For both short and long-tail lines, management supplements these general approaches with analytically based judgments.

87


Sensitivity Analysis

While management believes that the reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses at December 31, 2025 is adequate, new information, events or circumstances may result in ultimate losses that are materially greater or less than initially recorded.

The tables below summarize, by reportable segment, the effect of reasonably likely scenarios on the key actuarial assumptions used to estimate the Company’s reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses at December 31, 2025. The scenarios shown in the tables illustrate the effect of:

•changes to the expected loss ratio selections used at December 31, 2025, which represent loss ratio point increases or decreases to the expected loss ratios used. A higher expected loss ratio results in a higher ultimate loss estimate, and vice versa; and
•changes to the loss development patterns used in the Company’s reserving process at December 31, 2025, which represent claims reporting that is either slower or faster than the reporting patterns used. Accelerating a loss reporting pattern (i.e. shortening the claim tail) results in lower ultimate losses, as the estimated proportion of losses already incurred would be higher, and vice versa.

Management believes that the illustrated sensitivities are indicative of the materiality of these key actuarial assumptions to management’s best estimate of losses and loss adjustment expense reserves. The degree of stress applied to the expected loss ratio and loss development patterns were selected to be illustrative, and should not be considered to be "best case" or "worst case" for these assumptions. As such, it is important to recognize that future variations may be more or less than the amounts shown in the following table.

The effect of reasonably likely changes in the two key assumptions used to estimate the gross reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses was as follows:

The results show the cumulative increase (decrease) in loss reserves across all years. Each of the impacts set forth is estimated individually, without consideration for any correlation among key assumptions or among reserve classes. Therefore, it would be inappropriate to take each of the amounts and add them together in an attempt to estimate total volatility. Additionally, it is noted that in some instances, for example, the projection of catastrophe estimates, development patterns are not appropriate as more bespoke techniques are used.

Revenues primarily consist of insurance and reinsurance premiums generated by the Company’s underwriting operations. Recognition of gross premiums written varies by policy or contract type.

For a portion of the Company’s insurance business, which comprises 50% of total gross premiums written, a fixed premium specified in the policy is recorded when the policy incepts. This premium may be adjusted if underlying insured values change. Management actively monitors underlying insured values and any resulting premium adjustments are recognized in the period in which they are determined. Gross premiums written on a fixed premium basis accounted for 26.7%, 26.9% and 30.2% of the Company’s gross premiums written for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Some of this business is written through MGAs, third parties granted authority to bind risks on the Company’s behalf in accordance with defined underwriting guidelines.

The remainder of the Company’s insurance business is written on a line slip or proportional basis, where the Company assumes an agreed proportion of the premiums and losses of a particular risk or group of risks along with other unrelated insurers. As premiums for this business are not identified in the policy, estimated premiums are recorded at the inception of the policy based on information provided by clients through brokers. Management reviews these premium estimates on a quarterly basis and any premium estimate adjustments are recognized in the period in which they are determined. Gross premiums written on a line slip or proportional basis accounted for 23.6%, 25.8% and 26.8% of the Company’s gross premiums written for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The Company’s reinsurance business, which comprises 50% of total gross premiums written, generally provides cover to cedants on an excess of loss or on a proportional basis. In most cases, cedants seek protection for business that they have not yet written when they enter into agreements and therefore cedants must estimate the underlying premiums that they will cede to the Company.

For proportional reinsurance contracts, the Company shares proportionally in both the premiums and losses of the cedant and pays the cedant a commission to cover the cedant’s acquisition costs. Gross premiums written are recognized on a quarterly basis as the underlying contracts incept over the term of the contract, based on estimates received from ceding companies. Management reviews these premium estimates on a quarterly basis and evaluates their reasonability in light of actual premiums reported by the cedants and brokers, supplemented by the Company’s own estimates based on experience and familiarity with each market.

As a result of this review process, any adjustments to premium estimates are recognized in the period in which they are determined. Changes in premium estimates could be material to gross premiums written in the period. Changes in premium estimates could also be material to net premiums earned in the period in which they are determined as any adjustment may be substantially or fully earned. Gross premiums written for proportional reinsurance contracts, including adjustments to premium estimates established in prior years, accounted for 27.9%, 24.4% and 20.7% of the Company’s gross premiums written for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

For excess of loss reinsurance contracts, the Company is typically exposed to loss events in excess of a predetermined dollar amount or loss ratio and receives a fixed or an initial minimum deposit premium. For excess of loss reinsurance contracts, minimum deposit premiums are generally considered to be the best estimate of premiums at the inception of the contract. The minimum deposit premium is typically adjusted at the end of the contract period to reflect changes in the underlying risks in force during the contract period. Any adjustments to minimum or deposit premiums are recognized in the period in which they are determined. Gross premiums written for excess of loss reinsurance contracts accounted for 21.8%, 22.9% and 22.3% of the Company’s gross premiums written for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Many of the Company’s excess of loss reinsurance contracts also include provisions for automatic reinstatement of coverage in the event of a loss that has exhausted the initial amount of cover provided. Reinstatement premiums are recognized as written premium when a loss event occurs where coverage limits for the remaining life of the contract are reinstated under the contract.

Net Premiums Earned

Premiums are earned evenly over the period in which the Company is exposed to the underlying risk. Changes in circumstances subsequent to contract inception can impact the term of each earning period. For example, when exposure limits for a contract are reached, any associated unearned premiums are recognized as fully earned.

Fixed premium insurance policies and excess of loss reinsurance contracts are generally written on a "losses occurring" or "claims made" basis. Consequently, premiums are earned evenly over the contract term, which is typically 12 months.

Line slip or proportional insurance policies and proportional reinsurance contracts are generally written on a "risks attaching" basis, covering claims that relate to the underlying policies written during the terms of these contracts. As the underlying business incepts throughout the contract term, which is typically one year, and the underlying business typically has a one-year coverage period, these premiums are generally earned over a 24-month period.

Ceded Reinsurance and Unpaid losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses Recoverable

Overview

In the normal course of business, the Company seeks to reduce the potential amount of loss arising from claim events by reinsuring certain levels of risk with other reinsurers. On a consolidated basis, reinsurance premiums ceded represented 21.7%, 20.7% and 24.1% of gross premiums written for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Ceded reinsurance contracts do not relieve the Company of its primary obligation to policyholders. In the event that the Company’s reinsurers are unable to meet their obligations under these reinsurance agreements or are able to successfully challenge losses ceded by the Company under the contracts, the Company will not be able to realize the full value of the unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses recoverable balance and will be liable for such defaulted amounts.

The Company enters into proportional or quota share treaties, whereby the Company cedes a portion of its premiums and losses related to a certain class or classes of business to a reinsurer, and into excess of loss or facultative reinsurance agreements, whereby the Company is reinsured for a specific event or exposure, often for amounts in excess of a predetermined dollar amount.

The Company’s reinsurance business also obtains reinsurance whereby another reinsurer contractually agrees to indemnify it for all or a portion of the reinsurance risks underwritten. Such arrangements, where one reinsurer provides reinsurance to another reinsurer, are usually referred to as retrocessional reinsurance arrangements and help to reduce exposure to large losses and manage risk. In addition, the Company’s reinsurance business participates in "common account" retrocessional arrangements for certain pro rata treaties. Such arrangements reduce the effect of individual or aggregate losses to all companies participating on such treaties, including the reinsurers and the ceding company.

On February 6, 2020, the Company entered into a loss portfolio transfer agreement (the "LPT"), under which the insurance liabilities arising from certain casualty risks for the Lloyd's Years of Account ("YOA") 2016, 2017 and 2018 were retroceded to a third party in exchange for total premium of $72.1 million. This transaction was accounted for as retroactive reinsurance under which cumulative ceded losses exceeding the LPT premium are recognized as a deferred gain liability and amortized into income over the settlement period of the ceded reserves in proportion to cumulative losses collected over the estimated ultimate reinsurance recoverable. The amount of the deferral is recalculated each reporting period based on updated ultimate loss estimates. Consequently, cumulative adverse development subsequent to the signing of the LPT may result in significant losses from operations until periods when the deferred gain is recognized as a benefit to earnings.

In December 2023, Hamilton Group sponsored a new industry loss index-triggered catastrophe bond through the issuance of Series 2024-1 Class A Principal-at-Risk Variable Rate Notes by Bermuda domiciled Easton Re Ltd. ("Easton Re"), which provide the Company's operating platforms with multi-year risk transfer capacity of $200 million to protect against named storm risk in the United States and earthquake risk in the United States and Canada. The risk period for Easton Re is from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026.

Estimation methodology

Amounts for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses recoverable from reinsurers are estimated in a manner consistent with the reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses associated with the related assumed business and the contractual terms of the reinsurance agreement. Estimating unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses recoverable can be more subjective than estimating the underlying reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses, discussed above. In particular, unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses recoverable may be affected by deemed inuring reinsurance, industry losses reported by various statistical reporting services, and the magnitude of the Company’s recorded IBNR reserves, amongst other factors. Amounts for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses recoverable are recorded as assets, predicated on the reinsurers’ ability to meet their obligations under the reinsurance agreements.

The majority of the balance that the Company has estimated and accrued as unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses recoverable will not be due for collection until some point in the future. The amounts recoverable that will ultimately be collected are subject to uncertainty due to the ultimate ability and willingness of reinsurers to pay the Company’s claims at a future point in time, for reasons including insolvency or elective run-off, contractual dispute and various other reasons.

To help mitigate these risks, the Company maintains a list of approved reinsurers, performs credit risk assessments for potential new reinsurers, regularly monitors the financial condition of approved reinsurers with consideration for events which may have a material impact on their creditworthiness and monitors concentrations of credit risk. This assessment considers a wide range of individual attributes, including a review of the counterparty’s financial strength, industry position and other qualitative factors. If reinsurers do not meet certain specified requirements, they are required to provide the Company with collateral.

Fair Value of Investments

Fixed maturity and short-term investments trading portfolio

The Company elects the fair value option for its fixed maturities and short-term investments trading portfolio and certain other investments and recognizes the changes in net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments in its consolidated statements of operations.

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (the "exit price"). Instruments that the Company owns are marked to bid prices.

Fair value measurement accounting guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to the respective valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). An asset or liability’s classification within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of significant input to its valuation. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

•Level 1 - Inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date;

•Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active; and

•Level 3 - Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

91


The Company’s fixed maturities and short-term investments trading portfolio is primarily priced using pricing services, such as index providers and pricing vendors, as well as broker quotations. In general, the pricing vendors provide pricing for a high volume of liquid securities that are actively traded. For securities that do not trade on an exchange, the pricing services generally utilize market data and other observable inputs in matrix pricing models to determine prices. Observable inputs include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads, bids, offers, reference data and industry and economic events. Index pricing generally relies on market traders as the primary source for pricing; however, models are also utilized to provide prices for all index eligible securities. The models use a variety of observable inputs such as benchmark yields, transactional data, dealer runs, broker-dealer quotes and corporate actions. Prices are generally verified using third party data. Securities which are priced by an index provider are generally included in the index. In general, broker-dealers value securities through their trading desks based on observable inputs. The methodologies used include mapping securities based on trade data, bids or offers, observed spreads, and performance on newly issued securities. Broker-dealers also determine valuations by observing secondary trading of similar securities. Prices obtained from broker quotations are considered non-binding; however, they are based on observable inputs and by observing secondary trading of similar securities obtained from active, non-distressed markets. The Company considers these Level 2 inputs as they are corroborated with other market observable inputs.

All of the Company’s fixed maturities and short-term investments in its trading portfolio are considered to be valued using Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. See Note 4, Fair Value in the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements for further detail.

Operating Highlights

The following significant items impacted the consolidated results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023:

Gross premiums written Gross premiums written were $2.9 billion, $2.4 billion and $2.0 billion for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in gross premiums written for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024 was primarily driven by our casualty reinsurance classes and casualty, specialty and property insurance classes. The increase was as a result of growth in both new and existing business. The increase in gross premiums written for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023 was primarily driven by our casualty reinsurance, property reinsurance, specialty reinsurance and casualty insurance business. The growth was a result of new business, increased participations on existing business and a strong rate environment across multiple classes of business.

Underwriting results The combined ratio was 92.9% and 91.3% for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in the catastrophe loss ratio and the acquisition cost ratio, partially offset by a decrease in the attritional loss ratio and other underwriting expense ratio. The increase in the combined ratio from 90.1% for the year ended December 31, 2023 to 91.3% for the year ended December 31, 2024 was driven by an increase in the catastrophe loss ratio and attritional loss ratio, partially offset by a decrease in the other underwriting expense ratio and acquisition cost ratio.

Attritional loss ratio - current year for the year ended December 31, 2025 was 54.4%, compared to 53.1% for the year ended December 31, 2024, an increase of 1.3 percentage points. The attritional loss ratio - current year for the year ended December 31, 2025 was impacted by a change in business mix, including more casualty reinsurance business, and certain large losses primarily in our Bermuda specialty and property reinsurance classes. The attritional loss ratio - current year for the year ended December 31, 2024 was 53.1% compared to 52.2% for the year ended December 31, 2023. The attritional loss ratio - current year for the year ended December 31, 2024 included a specific large loss of $37.9 million arising from the Francis Scott Key Baltimore Bridge collapse.

Attritional loss ratio - prior year for the year ended December 31, 2025 was a favorable 2.2%, compared to 0.0% for the year ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of 2.2 percentage points. The decrease was primarily driven by favorable development in both our Bermuda and International property and specialty classes, partially offset by unfavorable development in certain Bermuda casualty classes. In addition, casualty business protected by the LPT discussed in Note 7, Reinsurance, benefited from favorable development in the underlying reserves of $2.5 million, which was partially offset by a change in the deferred gain of $0.8 million, for a total net positive earnings impact of $1.7 million. The attritional loss ratio - prior year for the year ended December 31, 2024 was flat at 0.0% compared to a favorable 0.8% for the year ended December 31, 2023, an increase of 0.8 percentage points. The increase was primarily driven by unfavorable development in both International and Bermuda casualty and specialty classes, largely offset by favorable development in both International and Bermuda property classes. In addition, casualty business protected by the LPT benefited from favorable development in the underlying reserves of $15.3 million, which was partially offset by a change in the deferred gain of $9.4 million, for a total net positive earnings impact of $5.9 million.

Catastrophe losses - current and prior year development were $159.0 million, $87.6 million and $36.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Catastrophe losses for the year ended December 31, 2025 were driven by the California wildfires ($159.7 million), severe convective storms ($10.9 million) and the Queensland hailstorms ($6.9 million), partially offset by favorable prior year development of $18.5 million. Catastrophe losses for the year ended December 31, 2024 were driven by Hurricane Helene ($52.6 million), Hurricane Milton ($37.8 million), the Calgary hailstorms ($12.9 million), and Hurricane Debby ($5.6 million), partially offset by favorable prior year development of $21.3 million. Catastrophe losses for the year ended December 31, 2023 were driven by the Hawaii wildfires ($12.0 million), the wind and thunderstorm events which impacted states in both the Southern and Midwest U.S. during March 2023 ($11.0 million), severe convective storms in June 2023 ($7.6 million), Hurricane Idalia ($6.5 million), and the Vermont floods ($5.0 million), partially offset by favorable prior year development of $5.2 million.

Segment Information

We have determined our reportable business segments based on the information used by management in assessing performance and allocating resources to underwriting operations. We have identified two reportable business segments - International and Bermuda. Each of our identified reportable segments has a Chief Executive Officer who is responsible for the overall profitability of their segment and who regularly reports and is directly accountable to the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"): the Chief Executive Officer of the consolidated group. The CODM's responsibilities include providing leadership to all levels of employees; developing culture, values, and ethos; setting the Company's strategy, vision and direction; and overall responsibility for the success and profitability of the Company, including evaluating segment performance.

The CODM evaluates reportable segment performance based on the segments' respective underwriting income or loss. Underwriting income or loss is calculated as net premiums earned less losses and loss adjustment expenses, acquisition costs, and other underwriting expenses, net of third party fee income. General and administrative expenses not incurred by the reportable segments are included in corporate and other expenses as part of the reconciliation of net underwriting income or loss to net income or loss attributable to common shareholders. As we do not manage our assets by reportable segment, investment income and assets are not allocated to reportable segments.

Our core business is underwriting and our underwriting results are reflected in our reportable segments: (1) International, which is comprised of property, casualty, and specialty insurance and reinsurance classes of business originating from the Company’s London, Dublin, and Hamilton Select operations; and (2) Bermuda, which is comprised of property, casualty, and specialty insurance and reinsurance classes of business originating from Hamilton Re, Bermuda and Hamilton Re US and subsidiaries. We consider many factors, including the nature of each segment’s products, client types, production sources, distribution methods and the regulatory environment, in determining the aggregated operating segments.

Corporate includes net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments, net investment income (loss), other income (loss) not incurred by the reportable segments, net foreign exchange gains (losses), general and administrative expenses not incurred by the reportable segments, amortization of intangible assets, interest expense, and income tax expense (benefit).

The increase was primarily driven by growth in our casualty, specialty and property insurance classes. Casualty insurance growth was primarily driven by U.S. excess and surplus lines, mergers & acquisitions and professional lines; specialty insurance growth was primarily driven by accident & health and marine & energy; property insurance growth was primarily driven by property binder business; and specialty reinsurance growth was primarily driven by war and terrorism and surety reinsurance.

Total net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments and net investment income (loss) - TSHF, prior to non-controlling interest, returned income of $564.3 million, $487.2 million and $143.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. This includes the fund's returns, net of investment management fees.

Net investment income, net of non-controlling interest - TSHF, returned income of $300.9 million, $274.5 million and $122.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. This includes the fund's returns, net of investment management fees and performance incentive allocations. The aggregate incentive allocation to which the investment manager is entitled is included in "Net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interest" in our GAAP financial statements.

TS Hamilton Fund produced returns, net of investment management fees and performance incentive allocations, of 16.0%, 16.3% and 7.6% for each of the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, TS Hamilton Fund experienced gains from single name equities trading within the equity market neutral vehicles STV, ESTV, and ATV. Gains from single name equities trading were led by the U.S., followed by East Asia. TS Hamilton Fund also experienced gains from macro trading within the scientific discretionary macro vehicle, NTV, the systematic macro vehicle, FTV, the relative value rates vehicle, KTV, and the relative value macro vehicle, HTV.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, gains in TS Hamilton Fund were led by single name U.S. equities trading in STV. The TS Hamilton Fund also saw positive contributions to gains from non-U.S. equities trading in ESTV. In ESTV, gains were experienced in all underlying regions. The TS Hamilton Fund also experienced gains from macroeconomic trading in FTV. In FTV, gains were led by equities, credit, and fixed income.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, TS Hamilton Fund generated positive returns in single name equities trading in STV and ESTV, partially offset by losses in macroeconomic trading in FTV. In single name equities trading, STV and ESTV both made positive contributions. Within ESTV, trading was most profitable in Europe, followed by East Asia and Pan-America, while China experienced losses. Within FTV, losses were driven by commodities, fixed income, and equities, partially offset by gains in currencies and credit.

Total net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments and net investment income (loss) - other returned income of $210.9 million, $87.5 million and $96.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Income for the year ended December 31, 2025 was primarily driven by investment income on a larger portfolio of higher yielding assets and positive mark-to-market returns. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the fixed maturity securities trading portfolio produced positive returns as the result of investment yield, partially offset by unrealized losses, primarily arising from U.S. Treasury interest rate increases. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the fixed maturity securities trading portfolio produced positive returns as the rate of rising interest rates slowed and reinvested funds generated higher yields.

Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar. We may conduct routine underwriting operations or invest a portion of our cash and other investable assets in currencies other than U.S. dollars. Consequently, we may incur foreign exchange gains and losses in our results of operations.

Foreign exchange losses of $6.0 million, $3.2 million and $6.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, were primarily driven by the remeasurement of insurance-related assets and liabilities denominated in British pounds, euro, Japanese yen, and Australian and Canadian dollars.

Corporate Expenses

Corporate expenses$57,167 $61,111 $76,691 

Corporate expenses for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, were $57.2 million, $61.1 million and $76.7 million, respectively, and typically consist of certain executive and Board compensation costs and professional fees.

Corporate expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025 were $57.2 million compared to $61.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of $3.9 million. The decrease was driven by lower Value Appreciation Pool ("VAP") expenses and the $3.4 million of Bermuda substance-based tax credits, partially offset by an increase in certain variable performance based compensation costs.

Corporate expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024 were $61.1 million compared to $76.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, a decrease of $15.6 million. The decrease was primarily driven by $9.2 million of VAP expense recorded for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $30.4 million of VAP expense recorded for the year ended December 31, 2023, partially offset by certain variable performance based compensation costs, an increased headcount and an increase in professional fees and insurance costs associated with operating as a public company.

Key Operating and Financial Metrics

The Company has identified the following metrics as key measures of the Company’s performance:

Book Value per Common Share

Management believes that book value is an important indicator of value provided to common shareholders and aligns the Company’s and most investors’ long term objectives. We calculate book value per common share as total common shareholders’ equity divided by the total number of common shares outstanding at the point in time.

As at December 31,
($ in thousands, except per share amounts)20252024
Closing common shareholders' equity$2,822,099 $2,328,709 
Closing common shares outstanding99,029,434 101,466,997 
Book value per common share$28.50 $22.95 

Book value per common share was $28.50 at December 31, 2025, a $5.55 or 24.2% increase from the Company’s book value per common share of $22.95 at December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by the Company’s net income attributable to common shareholders of $576.7 million and the accretive impact of share repurchases. See Note 11, Share Capital in the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements for further details.

Tangible Book Value per Common Share

Management believes that tangible book value is an important indicator of value provided to common shareholders and aligns the Company’s and most investors’ long term objectives. We calculate tangible book value per common share as total common shareholders’ equity less intangible assets, divided by the total number of common shares outstanding at the point in time.

As at December 31,
($ in thousands, except per share amounts)20252024
Closing common shareholders' equity$2,822,099 $2,328,709 
Intangible assets86,624 93,121 
Closing common shareholders' equity, less intangible assets$2,735,475 $2,235,588 
Closing common shares outstanding99,029,434 101,466,997 
Tangible book value per common share$27.62 $22.03 

Tangible book value per common share was $27.62 at December 31, 2025, a $5.59 or 25.4% increase from the Company’s tangible book value per common share of $22.03 at December 31, 2024. The increase in tangible book value per common share was primarily driven by the Company’s net income attributable to common shareholders of $576.7 million and the accretive impact of share repurchases. See Note 11, Share Capital in the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements for further details.

Return on Average Common Shareholders' Equity

Management believes that return on average common shareholders’ equity ("ROACE") is an important indicator of the Company’s profitability and financial efficiency. We calculate it by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by average common shareholders' equity for the corresponding period.

For the Years Ended December 31,
($ in thousands)202520242023
Net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders576,670 400,429 258,727

Return on average common shareholders' equity22.4 %18.3 %13.9 %

ROACE was 22.4% for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to 18.3% for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by the higher net income attributable to common shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2025.

ROACE was 18.3% for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to 13.9% for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily driven by the higher net income attributable to common shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Non-GAAP Measures

We present our results of operations in a way that we believe will be the most meaningful and useful to investors, analysts, rating agencies and others who use our financial information to evaluate our performance. Some of the measurements that management uses to assess our operating results are considered non-GAAP financial measures under Regulation G and Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K, each promulgated by the SEC. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, which may be defined and calculated differently by other companies, help explain and enhance the understanding of our results of operations. However, these measures should not be viewed as a substitute for those determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Where appropriate, reconciliations of our non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included below.

Underwriting Income (Loss)

We calculate underwriting income (loss) on a pre-tax basis as net premiums earned less losses and loss adjustment expenses, acquisition costs and other underwriting expenses (net of third party fee income). We believe that this measure of our performance focuses on the core fundamental performance of the Company’s reportable segments in any given period and is not distorted by investment market conditions, corporate expense allocations or income tax effects.

The following table reconciles underwriting income (loss) to net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure:

Net income (loss), prior to non-controlling interest$840,029 $613,158 $280,287 

Third Party Fee Income

Third party fee income includes income that is incremental and/or directly attributable to our underwriting operations. It is primarily comprised of fees earned by the International segment for management services provided to third party syndicates and consortia and by the Bermuda segment for performance based management fees generated by our third party capital manager, Ada Capital Management Limited. We believe that this measure is a relevant component of our underwriting income (loss).

The following table reconciles third party fee income to other income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure:

For the Years Ended December 31,

Other income (loss), excluding third party fee income— — 397 
Other income (loss)$26,601 $23,752 $18,631 

112


Other Underwriting Expenses

Other underwriting expenses include those general and administrative expenses that are incremental and/or directly attributable to our underwriting operations. While this measure is presented in Note 9, Segment Reporting, it is considered a non-GAAP financial measure when presented elsewhere.

Corporate expenses include holding company costs necessary to support our reportable segments. As these costs are not incremental and/or directly attributable to our underwriting operations, these costs are excluded from other underwriting expenses, and therefore, underwriting income (loss). General and administrative expenses, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to other underwriting expenses, also includes corporate expenses.

The following table reconciles other underwriting expenses to general and administrative expenses, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure:

For the Years Ended December 31,
($ in thousands)202520242023
Other underwriting expenses$221,743 $210,013 $183,165 
Corporate expenses57,167 61,111 76,691 
General and administrative expenses$278,910 $271,124 $259,856 

Other Underwriting Expense Ratio

Other Underwriting Expense Ratio is a measure of the other underwriting expenses (net of third party fee income) incurred by the Company and is expressed as a percentage of net premiums earned.

Loss Ratio

Attritional Loss Ratio – current year is the attritional losses incurred by the company relating to the current year divided by net premiums earned.

Attritional Loss Ratio – prior year development is the attritional losses incurred by the company relating to prior years divided by net premiums earned.

Catastrophe Loss Ratio – current year is the catastrophe losses incurred by the company relating to the current year divided by net premiums earned.

Catastrophe Loss Ratio – prior year development is the catastrophe losses incurred by the company relating to prior years divided by net premiums earned.

Combined Ratio

Combined Ratio is a measure of our underwriting profitability and is expressed as the sum of the loss and loss adjustment expense ratio, acquisition cost ratio and other underwriting expense ratio. A combined ratio under 100% indicates an underwriting profit, while a combined ratio over 100% indicates an underwriting loss.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Financial Condition

Investment Philosophy

The Company maintains two segregated investment portfolios: a fixed maturities and short-term investments trading portfolio and an investment in Two Sigma Hamilton Fund ("TS Hamilton Fund").

The Company's high quality and liquid fixed maturities and short-term investments trading portfolio is structured to focus primarily on the preservation of capital and the availability of liquidity to meet the Company’s claims obligations, to be well diversified across market sectors, and to generate relatively attractive returns on a risk-adjusted basis over time. The Company’s investments are subject to market-wide risks and fluctuations, as well as to risks inherent in particular securities.

The Company also invests in TS Hamilton Fund, a Delaware limited liability company. Hamilton Re has a commitment with TS Hamilton Fund to maintain an amount up to the lesser of (i) $1.8 billion or (ii) 60% of Hamilton Group’s net tangible assets in TS Hamilton Fund, such lesser amount, the "Minimum Commitment Amount", for a three-year period (the "Initial Term") and for rolling three-year periods thereafter (each such three-year period the "Commitment Period"), subject to certain circumstances and the liquidity options described below, with the current Commitment Period ending on June 30, 2028. The Commitment Period consists of a three-year rolling term that automatically renews on an annual basis unless Hamilton Re or the Managing Member provide advance notice of non-renewal. Two Sigma is a United States Securities and Exchange Commission registered investment adviser specializing in quantitative analysis. The TS Hamilton Fund investment strategy is focused on delivering non-market correlated investment income and total return through all market cycles while maintaining appropriate portfolio liquidity and credit quality to meet the requirements of customers, rating agencies and regulators.

Cash and Investments

At December 31, 2025 and 2024, total cash and investments was $6.2 billion and $4.9 billion, respectively. However, a significant portion of the total cash and investments balances held were invested in TS Hamilton Fund as collateral for the investments held by the underlying trading vehicles, as shown in the tables under the "TS Hamilton Fund" discussion.

TS Hamilton Fund

TS Hamilton Fund invests in Two Sigma Funds ("Two Sigma Funds"), which are stated at their estimated fair values, which generally represent the Company’s proportionate interest in the members’ equity of the Two Sigma Funds as reported by the respective funds based on the net asset value ("NAV") provided by the fund administrator. The Company accounts for its investment in Two Sigma Funds under the variable interest model at NAV as a practical expedient for fair value in the consolidated balance sheet.

The Company owns the following interest in each of the Two Sigma Funds:

As of December 31, 2025
Two Sigma FundsAbbreviation%

Two Sigma Navigator Portfolio, LLCNTV6.1 %
Two Sigma Kuiper Portfolio, LLCKTV5.2 %

Although Two Sigma has broad discretion to allocate invested assets to different opportunities, the current strategy is focused on highly diversified liquid positions in global equities, futures and foreign exchange markets. Through its investments in the Two Sigma Funds, we seek to achieve absolute dollar denominated returns on a substantial capital base primarily by combining multiple hedged and leveraged systematic and non-systematic investment strategies with proprietary risk management and execution techniques. These strategies include, but are not limited to, technical and statistically-based, fundamental-based, event-based, market condition-based and spread-based strategies as well as contributor-based and/or sentiment-based strategies and blended strategies. At December 31, 2024, the Company's investment in the Two Sigma Funds consisted of STV, ESTV and FTV; effective January 1, 2025, the Company amended its existing investment in Two Sigma Funds to include an allocation to ATV, HTV, NTV and KTV.

The increase in the total fair value of the Company’s investments in Two Sigma Funds from $939.4 million at December 31, 2024 to $1.6 billion at December 31, 2025 is primarily driven by investment gains, asset allocations and collateral management within TS Hamilton Fund. The total net assets managed in TS Hamilton Fund represent our investment in and exposure to Two Sigma Funds’ investment strategies. However, as part of Two Sigma’s collateral management processes, any capital not required to be held within one of the specific trading vehicles is held in cash or short-term investments within TS Hamilton Fund as shown in the following table. The cash and short-term investment balances are not managed by the Company, nor can they be removed from TS Hamilton Fund as they support the underlying investment strategies within the seven trading vehicles.

The following table represents the total assets and total liabilities of TS Hamilton Fund. Creditors or beneficial interest holders of TS Hamilton Fund have no recourse to the general credit of the Company as the Company’s obligation is limited to the amount of its committed investment.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Liquidity is a measure of a company’s ability to generate cash flows sufficient to meet the short-term and long-term cash requirements of its business operations. The Company manages liquidity at the holding company and operating subsidiary level.

Management believes that its significant cash flows from operations and high quality liquid investment portfolio will provide sufficient liquidity for the foreseeable future. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, total unrestricted cash and cash equivalents were $1.1 billion and $996.5 million, respectively, and total restricted cash and cash equivalents were $109.7 million and $104.4 million, respectively.

Holding Company

As a holding company, Hamilton Insurance Group, Ltd. has no operations of its own and its assets consist primarily of investments in its subsidiaries. Accordingly, Hamilton Group's future cash flows depend on the availability of dividends or other statutorily permissible distributions, such as returns of capital, from its subsidiaries. The ability to pay such dividends and/or distributions is limited by the applicable laws and regulations of the various countries and states in which the Company’s subsidiaries operate (refer to Note 17, Statutory Requirements in the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements for further details), as well as the need to maintain capital levels to adequately support insurance and reinsurance operations, and to preserve financial strength ratings issued by independent rating agencies.

During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, Hamilton Group received $220.5 million, $197.5 million, and $44.0 million, respectively, of distributions from its subsidiaries. The Company’s primary use of funds is common share repurchases, interest payments on debt and credit facilities, capital investments in subsidiaries, and payment of corporate operating expenses. Common share repurchases may be conducted through open market repurchases and/or privately negotiated transactions. See Note 11, Share Capital in the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements for further detail of common share repurchases in the year ended December 31, 2025. Management believes the dividend distribution capacity of Hamilton Group’s subsidiaries, which was estimated at $620.1 million at December 31, 2025, will provide the Company with sufficient liquidity for the foreseeable future.

Operating Subsidiaries

Hamilton Group’s operating subsidiaries primarily derive cash from the net inflow of premiums less claim payments related to underwriting activities and from net investment income. Historically, these cash receipts have been sufficient to fund the operating expenses of these subsidiaries, as well as to fund dividend payments to the Company. The subsidiaries’ remaining cash flows are generally invested into the investment portfolio and used to fund common share repurchases or acquisitions.

The operating subsidiaries’ insurance and reinsurance business inherently provides liquidity, as premiums are received in advance (sometimes substantially in advance) of the time losses are paid. However, the amount of cash required to fund loss payments can fluctuate significantly from period to period, due to the low frequency and high severity nature of certain types of business written. As such, cash flows from operating activities may vary significantly between periods.

The payment of dividends by operating subsidiaries is, under certain circumstances, limited by the applicable laws and regulations in the various jurisdictions in which the subsidiaries operate. In addition, insurance laws require the insurance subsidiaries to maintain certain measures of solvency and liquidity. Management believes that each of the Company’s insurance subsidiaries and branches exceeded the minimum solvency, capital and surplus requirements in their applicable jurisdictions at December 31, 2025. Certain of the subsidiaries and branches are required to file Financial Condition Reports ("FCRs"), with their regulators, which provide details on solvency and financial performance. Where required, these FCRs are posted on the Company’s website.

The regulations governing the Company’s principal operating subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends and to maintain certain measures of solvency and liquidity are discussed in Note 17, Statutory Requirements in the Company's audited consolidated financial statements as included in this Form 10-K.

Consolidated Cash Flows

Consolidated cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities were as follows:

For the Years Ended December 31,
($ in thousands)202520242023
Total cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities$842,350 $759,303 $283,155

Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents$71,238 $199,992 $(306,343)

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities was $842.4 million, $759.3 million and $283.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Cash inflows from insurance and reinsurance operations typically include premiums, net of acquisition costs, and reinsurance recoverables. Cash outflows principally include payments of losses and loss expenses, payments of premiums to reinsurers and operating expenses. Cash provided by operating activities fluctuates due to timing differences between the collection of premiums and reinsurance recoverables and the payment of losses and loss adjustment expenses, and the payment of premiums to reinsurers.

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities was $(414.1) million, $(184.2) million and $(652.1) million in the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, primarily driven by the timing of investing activities and the net proceeds of turnover, asset allocations within the TS Hamilton Fund, and our fixed maturity and short-term investments.

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $(376.2) million, $(362.7) million and $59.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Net cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2025 was primarily driven by incentive allocations paid to TS Hamilton Fund and open market share repurchases. See Note 11, Share Capital in the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements for further detail of common share repurchases in the year ended December 31, 2025. Net cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 was primarily driven by incentive allocations paid to TS Hamilton Fund and share repurchases. Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2023 was primarily driven by the proceeds of shares issued in connection with the Company's Initial Public Offering ("IPO"), partially offset by incentive allocations paid to TS Hamilton Fund.

The Company believes that annual positive cash flows from operating activities will be sufficient to cover claims payments, absent a series of additional large catastrophic losses. However, should claim payment obligations accelerate beyond the Company’s ability to fund payments from operating cash flows, the Company would utilize cash and cash equivalent balances and/or liquidate a portion of the Company’s fixed maturities and short-term investments trading portfolio and/or access certain credit facilities. The Company’s fixed maturities and short-term investments trading portfolio is heavily weighted towards conservative, high quality and highly liquid securities.

In addition, if necessary, the Company generally has two options related to liquidating a portion of the investment portfolio in the TS Hamilton Fund, subject to Hamilton Re’s minimum investment commitment, which are as follows:

•Monthly liquidity - Subject to certain conditions, Hamilton Re may request a whole or partial withdrawal of its capital account, no later than fifteen days prior to the end of a calendar month, effective as of the last day of such calendar month.

•Daily liquidity - Subject to certain limited circumstances, including the need to meet obligations pursuant to Hamilton Re’s underwriting operations, Hamilton Re may request a withdrawal of all or a portion of its capital account upon at least one business day’s written notice of such withdrawal request date to the Managing Member. Claim payments pertaining to any such large catastrophic event would be paid out over a period spanning many months.

120


Management expects that, if necessary, the full value of cash, fixed income and short-term investments at December 31, 2025 could be available in one to three business days under normal market conditions, except for $728.2 million of restricted cash and investments which primarily support the Company’s obligations in regulatory jurisdictions where it operates as a non-admitted carrier (refer to Note 3, Investments in the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements) and $271.2 million of restricted cash and investments which primarily support the Company’s letter of credit facilities (refer to Note 10, Debt and Credit Facilities in the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements).

Capital Resources

Management monitors the Company’s capital adequacy on a regular basis and seeks to adjust its capital according to the needs of the business. In particular, the Company requires capital sufficient to meet or exceed the capital adequacy ratios established by rating agencies for maintenance of appropriate financial strength ratings and the capital adequacy tests performed by regulatory authorities. From time to time, rating agencies and regulatory authorities may make changes in their models and methodologies, which could increase the amount of capital the Company requires. The Company may seek to raise additional capital or return capital to shareholders through some combination of common share repurchases and cash dividends. In the normal course of operations, management may from time to time evaluate additional share or debt issuances given prevailing market conditions and capital management strategies. In addition, the Company enters into agreements with financial institutions to obtain letter of credit facilities for the benefit of its operating subsidiaries to support their business operations. Management believes that the Company holds sufficient capital to allow it to take advantage of market opportunities and to maintain its financial strength ratings and comply with various local statutory regulations.

The following table summarizes our consolidated total capital:

As at December 31,
($ in thousands)20252024
Shareholders' equity$2,822,099 $2,328,709 

The Company’s consolidated shareholders' equity was $2.8 billion at December 31, 2025, an increase of 21.2% compared to $2.3 billion at December 31, 2024. The primary driver of the increase in total capital was the Company's net income attributable to common shareholders of $576.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, partially offset by share repurchases (see Note 11, Share Capital in the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements for further details).

Debt

On June 10, 2025, Hamilton Group entered into a $150 million term loan credit arrangement (the "Facility") with various lenders as arranged by Wells Fargo Securities, LLC. The Facility replaces Hamilton Group's $150 million term loan credit agreement, as amended through and including June 23, 2022, between Hamilton Group and the lenders thereto (as amended the "Existing Loan Agreement"). The Facility will be used to refinance the indebtedness outstanding under the Existing Loan Agreement. All or a portion of the loan issued under the Facility bears interest, at the option of Hamilton Group, at either (a) a base rate plus an applicable margin or (b) the Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus an applicable margin, in each case with the applicable margin determined with reference to the Company's long term issuer default rating as assigned by Fitch. The Facility matures on June 9, 2028, unless accelerated pursuant to the terms of the Facility, and it contains usual and customary representations, warranties, conditions and covenants for bank loan facilities of this type. The Facility also includes financial covenants, including a financial strength rating test, a minimum consolidated tangible net worth test and a maximum consolidated indebtedness to total capitalization ratio.

The following table presents the gross outstanding loan balance, loan fair value and unamortized loan issuance costs:

As at December 31,
($ in thousands)20252024
Outstanding loan balance$150,000 $150,000 
Loan fair value150,280 150,463 
Unamortized loan issuance costs$257 $55 

121


Debt issuance costs are amortized over the period during which the Facility is outstanding, as an offset to net investment income (loss). The Company amortized debt issuance costs of $0.1 million or less in each of the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023. The Company’s debt is classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy because it is valued using an income approach, which utilizes a discounted cash flow technique that considers the credit profile of the Company.

Common Shares

The Company’s authorized and issued share capital is comprised as follows:

On November 4, 2025, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of the Company's common shares in the aggregate amount of $150.0 million, in addition to remaining amounts under the prior authorization (collectively, the "Authorization"), under which the Company may repurchase shares through open market repurchases and/or privately negotiated transactions. The Authorization will expire when the Company has repurchased the full value of shares authorized, unless terminated earlier by the Board of Directors. All shares repurchased under the Authorization were subsequently cancelled. As of December 31, 2025, $178.5 million remained available for repurchase under the Authorization.

On May 8, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement to repurchase 9.1 million Class A common shares at $12.00 per share (the "Share Repurchase"). The total purchase price was $109.5 million. The common shares purchased by the Company were cancelled following the repurchase transaction.

In general, holders of Class A common shares and Class B common shares have one vote for each common share held while the Class C common shares have no voting rights, except as required by law. However, each holder of Class A common shares and Class B common shares is limited to voting (directly, indirectly or constructively, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that number of common shares equal to 9.5% of the total combined voting power of all classes of shares of the Company (or, in the case of a class vote by the holders of our Class B common shares, such as in respect of the election or removal of directors other than for directors who are appointed by certain shareholders pursuant to the Shareholders Agreement and our Bye-laws, an amount calculated by multiplying (a) 9.5% and (b) the quotient of dividing (x) the total number of directors by (y) the number of directors elected by holders of Class B common shares). In addition, the Board of Directors may, in its absolute discretion, limit a shareholder’s voting rights when it deems it appropriate to do so to avoid certain material adverse tax, legal or regulatory consequences to the Company, any subsidiary of the Company, or any direct or indirect shareholder or its affiliates.

122


Credit Facilities

The Company has several available letter of credit ("LOC") facilities and a revolving loan facility provided by commercial banks. The letter of credit facilities are utilized to provide collateral to reinsureds of Hamilton Re and its affiliates to the extent required under insurance and reinsurance agreements and to support capital requirements at Lloyd’s.

On December 5, 2018 and December 27, 2018, Hamilton Re entered into a Master Agreement for Issuance of Payment Instruments and a Facility Letter for Issuance of Payment Instruments respectively, with CitiBank Europe Plc ("CitiBank Europe"), under which CitiBank Europe agreed to provide an uncommitted secured letter of credit facility for the issuance of standby letters of credit or similar instruments in multiple currencies. On November 15, 2024, letter of credit capacity under this facility was increased to $250 million. At all times during which it is a party to the facility, Hamilton Re is obligated to pledge to CitiBank Europe cash and/or securities with a value that equals or exceeds the aggregate face amount of its then-outstanding letters of credit. The Master Agreement contains events of default customary for facilities of this type. In the facility letter, Hamilton Re makes representations and warranties that are customary for facilities of this type and agrees that it will comply with certain informational and other undertakings.

On June 10, 2025, Hamilton Group and Hamilton Re entered into a $450 million credit agreement with a syndication of lenders (the "Unsecured Facility"). Under the Unsecured Facility, the lenders have agreed to provide up to an aggregate of $450 million of letter of credit capacity for Hamilton Re, up to $150 million of which may be utilized for revolving loans to be issued to Hamilton Group. At December 31, 2025, there were no loan amounts outstanding under the Unsecured Facility. Letters of credit issued under the Unsecured Facility bear interest at a rate determined by Hamilton Group’s long-term issuer default rating, while revolving loans, if drawn, accrue interest at the option of Hamilton Group at either (a) a base rate plus an applicable margin or (b) Adjusted Term SOFR plus an applicable margin. In each case, the applicable margin is determined based on Hamilton Group’s long-term issuer default rating as assigned by Fitch. Currently, any letters of credit issued under the facility bear interest at a rate of 125 basis points. Revolving loans, if issued, are subject to a fee equal to the prime rate plus 50 basis points or Adjusted Term SOFR plus a margin of 150 basis points. To the extent such loans are issued, the available letter of credit capacity shall decrease proportionally, such that the aggregate credit exposure for the lenders under the Unsecured Facility is $450 million. Amounts unutilized under the Unsecured Facility are subject to a fee based upon Hamilton Group's long-term issuer default rating as assigned by Fitch. This currently bears a fee of 17.5 basis points. The Unsecured Facility is subject to representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default that the Company considers customary for similar facilities. The Unsecured Facility also includes financial covenants, including a financial strength rating test, a minimum consolidated tangible net worth test and a maximum consolidated indebtedness to total capitalization ratio. Capacity is provided by Wells Fargo, National Association, Truist Bank, Commerzbank AG, New York Branch, Citizens Bank, N.A., HSBC Bank USA, National Association, and Barclays Bank PLC. Unless renewed or otherwise terminated in accordance with its terms, the Unsecured Facility has a maturity date of June 9, 2028.

On October 23, 2025, Hamilton Re amended its letter of credit facility agreement with UBS AG ("UBS") under which UBS and certain of its affiliates agreed to make available to Hamilton Re a secured letter of credit facility in an amount that is equal to the greater of (i) $25 million and (ii) the LOC amount issued and outstanding, provided that the amount shall not at any time be greater than $75 million, for a term that will expire on October 23, 2026. The facility bears a fee of 140 basis points on the total available capacity.

In addition, on October 20, 2025, Hamilton Re amended the unsecured letter of credit facility agreement that it utilizes to provide Funds at Lloyd's ("FAL") ("FAL LOC Facility") to support the FAL requirements of Syndicate 4000. Capacity is provided by ING Bank N.V., London Branch, Commerzbank AG, New York Branch, and Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch. The FAL LOC Facility was renewed in the amount of $260 million for a term that expires on December 31, 2029. The facility bears a fee of 150 basis points on the borrowed amount.

The Company’s obligations under its credit facilities require Hamilton Group, Hamilton Re and the other parties thereto to comply with various financial and reporting covenants. All applicable entities were in compliance with all such covenants at December 31, 2025.

Certain of the Company's credit facilities are secured by pledged interests in the TS Hamilton Fund, the Company's fixed income security portfolio, or cash. The Company’s credit facilities and associated securities pledged, were as follows:

Financial Strength Ratings

The Company’s principal insurance and reinsurance operating subsidiaries are assigned financial strength ratings from various internationally recognized rating agencies registered with the SEC as Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations. Each agency's ratings are publicly announced, defined and available directly from the agencies' websites.

Financial strength ratings represent the independent opinions of the rating agencies as to the relative creditworthiness of a company and its capacity to meet the obligations of its insurance and reinsurance contracts. Independent ratings are one of the important factors that establish a competitive position in insurance and reinsurance markets. These ratings are based on factors considered by the rating agencies to be relevant to policyholders, agents and intermediaries and are not directed toward the protection of investors. Ratings are not recommendations to buy, sell or hold securities.

The financial strength ratings of our principal operating subsidiaries and our holding company are presented below. All information is as of February 19, 2026, at which time the outlook for each of the below ratings was "Stable".

Reserve for Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses

Reserve for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses

The Company establishes loss reserves using actuarial models, historical insurance industry loss ratio experience and loss development patterns to estimate its ultimate liability of all losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred with respect to premiums earned on the contracts at a given point in time. Loss reserves do not represent an exact calculation of the liability. Estimates of ultimate liabilities are contingent on many future events and the eventual actual outcome of these events may be substantially different from the assumptions underlying the reserve estimates. The Company believes that the recorded reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses represents management’s best estimate of the cost to settle the ultimate liabilities based on information available at December 31, 2025.

See Critical Accounting Estimates — Reserve for Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses for a detailed discussion of losses and loss adjustment expenses.

See Note 8, Reserve for Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses in the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements for the reconciliation of the gross and net reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses and for a discussion of prior year reserve development.

Paid and unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses recoverable

In the normal course of business, the Company seeks to reduce the potential amount of loss arising from claim events by reinsuring certain levels of risk with other reinsurers. See Critical Accounting Estimates – Ceded reinsurance and unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses recoverable in the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in this Form 10-K for a detailed discussion of the Company’s risks related to ceded reinsurance agreements and the Company’s process to evaluate the financial condition of its reinsurers.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk 

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Overview

We believe the Company’s exposure to market related risk arises primarily from interest rate risk, credit spread risk, foreign currency risk and inflation.

We performed a sensitivity analysis to estimate the effects that market risk exposures could have on the future earnings, fair values or cash flows at December 31, 2025 and 2024. Although this exercise focuses on identifying risk exposures that only impact the market value of assets, it is important to recognize that these risks are significantly mitigated by the Company’s investment strategy, which is designed to result in an economic valuation of assets and liabilities that is generally offsetting.

The sensitivity analysis performed at December 31, 2025 and 2024 presents hypothetical changes in cash flows, earnings and fair values of market sensitive instruments which were held by the Company on those dates in response to changes in valuation inputs selected by the Company. This risk management discussion and the estimated amounts generated from the following sensitivity analysis represent forward-looking statements of market risk assuming certain future market conditions occur. Actual future results may differ materially from these projections due to actual developments in the global financial markets that are inconsistent with our current assumptions. The analysis methods used by the Company to assess and mitigate risk should not be considered indicators of future events of losses.

Interest Rate Risk

The fair value of our fixed maturity and short-term investments trading portfolio, excluding TS Hamilton Fund, fluctuates with changes in interest rates. As a result, the Company is exposed to interest rate risk with respect to both our overall net economic asset position, and from an accounting standpoint, as the assets are carried at fair value.

We manage interest rate risk by structuring our fixed maturity and short-term investments portfolio so that the economic impact of a general interest rate shift on the portfolio is comparable to the corresponding impact on the related liabilities. The Company believes that duration matching our financial assets and underwriting liabilities mitigates the overall interest rate risk on an economic basis. While this matching of duration reduces the economic impact of interest rate changes on the Company, changes in interest rates do impact our shareholders’ equity because our liabilities are carried at their nominal value, and are not adjusted for changes in interest rates.

The following tables summarize the aggregate hypothetical increase (decrease) in the fair value of the Company’s fixed maturity trading portfolio and short-term investments from an immediate parallel shift in the treasury yield curve, assuming credit spreads remain constant, and reflecting the use of an immediate time horizon, since this presents the worst-case scenario:

Credit Spread Risk

The Company considers the impact of credit spread movements on the fair value of our fixed maturity and short-term investments trading portfolio. As credit spreads widen, the fair value of our fixed maturity and short-term investments trading portfolio decreases, and vice versa.

The following tables summarize the aggregate hypothetical increase (decrease) in the fair value of the Company’s fixed maturity trading portfolio and short-term investments from an immediate parallel shift in credit spreads, assuming the treasury yield curve remains constant, reflecting the use of an immediate time horizon since this presents the worst-case scenario:

Investment in Two Sigma Funds

Our investments in these Two Sigma Funds are stated at their estimated fair values, which generally represent the Company’s proportionate interest in the members’ equity of the Two Sigma Funds as reported by the respective funds based on the NAV provided by the fund administrator. The Company accounts for its investment in Two Sigma Funds under the variable interest model at NAV as a practical expedient for fair value in the consolidated balance sheets. Increases or decreases in such fair value are recorded within net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The Company records contributions and withdrawals related to its investments in the funds on the transaction date.

Assuming a hypothetical 10% and 30% increase or decrease in the value of our investments in Two Sigma Funds as of December 31, 2025, the carrying value of these investments would have increased or decreased by approximately $158.8 million and $476.3 million, pre-tax, respectively. Assuming the same hypothetical 10% and 30% increase or decrease as of December 31, 2024, the carrying value of our investments in Two Sigma Funds would have increased or decreased by approximately $93.9 million and $281.8 million, pre-tax, respectively.

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company’s functional currency for consolidated reporting is the U.S. dollar. We routinely write business in currencies other than U.S. dollars and invest a portion of our cash and investments in those currencies. All of the Company’s operating entities have U.S. dollar functional currencies. As a result, we may experience foreign exchange gains and losses in our audited consolidated financial statements.

The Company is primarily impacted by the foreign currency risk exposures from its underwriting operations and fixed maturity and short-term investments trading portfolio, and may, from time to time, enter into foreign currency forward and option contracts to minimize the effect of fluctuating foreign currencies on the value of non-U.S. dollar denominated assets and liabilities. Generally, the Company will match its projected non-U.S. dollar foreign currency underwriting related assets and liabilities with investments and cash in the same currencies to manage our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations and reduce the volatility of foreign exchange gains and losses on our results of operations.

See Note 2(k), Foreign Exchange in the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements for additional information.

The following table summarizes the estimated effects that a hypothetical 10% movement in the value of the U.S. dollar against select foreign currencies would have had on the carrying value of our net assets:

CAD(2.4)2.4 (2.6)2.6 
AUD$0.1 $(0.1)$(1.0)$1.0 

Effects of Inflation

Historically, inflation has not had a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations. However, over the last several years, global economic inflation has increased, and there is a risk that it will remain elevated for an extended period. Inflation is subject to many macroeconomic factors beyond our control, including global banking policy, political risks and supply chain issues. An inflationary economy may result in higher losses and loss adjustment expenses, negatively impact the performance of our fixed income security investment portfolio, or increase our operating expenses, among other unfavorable effects. The ultimate effects of an inflationary or deflationary period are subject to high uncertainty and cannot be accurately estimated until the actual costs are known.

In the wake of a catastrophe loss there is a risk of specific inflationary pressures in the local economy, which is considered in our catastrophe loss models. Similarly, the Company incorporates the anticipated effects of inflation in our ultimate estimate of the reserves for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses on certain long-tail lines of business. As with general economic inflation, the actual effects of inflation on reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses and results of operations cannot be accurately known until all of the underlying claims are ultimately settled.

For a discussion of the impact of increases and decreases in interest rates on the Company’s fixed maturity and short-term investments trading portfolio, see both Interest Rate Risk and Credit Spread Risk as discussed under Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that, at December 31, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in Company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, as amended. Our internal control over financial reporting was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and to reflect management’s judgments and estimates concerning effects of events and transactions that are accounted for or disclosed.

Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and the dispositions of our assets; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any controls. Our Board and management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. Controls, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the controls are met. Further, we believe that the design of controls must reflect appropriate resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in controls, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.

Management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, assessed our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013). Based on this assessment, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2025.

Ernst & Young Ltd, the independent registered public accountants who audited our consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K, audited our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 and their attestation report on our internal control over financial reporting is included herein.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended December 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Hamilton Insurance Group, Ltd.


Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We have audited Hamilton Insurance Group, Ltd.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, Hamilton Insurance Group, Ltd. (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes and financial statement schedules listed in the Index at Item 15 and our report dated February 25, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

130


Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

IELRInitial expected loss ratio.
LeadIn some insurance markets, the brokers find takers for insurance risks on the market and establish the policy terms with a leading underwriter, who also takes on a substantial share of the risk. The broker then looks for further cover providers, known as following underwriters, who accept the terms established by the leading underwriter and accept a share of the risk.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Hamilton Insurance Group Ltd.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Hamilton Insurance Group, Ltd. (the Company) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes and financial statement schedules listed in the Index at Item 15 (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), and our report dated February 25, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the account or disclosures to which it relates.

Valuation of Losses Incurred but not Reported
Description of
the Matter
As disclosed in Notes 2 and 8 of the consolidated financial statements, reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses includes reserves for unpaid reported losses (Case reserves) and for losses incurred but not reported (IBNR reserves). At December 31, 2025, IBNR reserves represented a significant portion of the $4,415 million of reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses.
There is significant uncertainty inherent in determining management’s estimate of ultimate losses and loss adjustment expenses which is used to establish IBNR reserves. Management estimates its IBNR reserves for large events based upon information from brokers and cedants, estimates of market loss and market share and experience from historical large events. IBNR reserves for attritional losses are established using actuarial loss reserving techniques. These techniques include the loss development factor method, Bornheutter Ferguson method, the Initial Expected Loss Ratio method, and other techniques. These techniques rely on estimates of paid and reported loss development patterns and estimates of the loss ratio at the inception of the contract. The Company’s actuaries may use other approaches in addition to those described and supplement these methods with judgment depending upon the characteristics of the class of business and available data. Inherent in the estimates of ultimate losses and loss adjustment expenses are expected trends in claim severity and frequency, the expected duration of the respective claims development period, inadequacies in the data provided by industry participants, the potential for further reporting lags, significant uncertainty as it relates to legal issues under the relevant terms of insurance and reinsurance contracts and other factors, which may vary significantly as claims are settled.

Auditing management’s estimate for IBNR reserves was complex and required the involvement of our actuarial specialists due to the high degree of subjectivity inherent in management’s methods and assumptions used in the calculations which have a significant effect on the valuation of IBNR reserves.

How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of the relevant controls over the estimation process for IBNR reserves. This included, among others, evaluating management’s controls over the actuarial methods and assumptions selected to determine their recorded estimate.
To test IBNR reserves, our procedures included, among others, the involvement of actuarial specialists to assist with the evaluation of the Company’s selection of significant actuarial methods and assumptions used in their analysis and a comparison of those methods used in prior periods and those used in the industry. We independently calculated a range of reasonable reserve estimates including performing independent projections and compared the range of reserve estimates to the Company’s recorded loss and loss adjustment expense reserves.

Hamilton Insurance Group, Ltd.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

a.Basis of Presentation
These audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") and include the accounts of Hamilton Group, Hamilton Re, Hamilton U.K. Holdings Limited, Hamilton Select, HMGA Americas, ACML, and TS Hamilton Fund (collectively the "Company"). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation. Certain comparative information has been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
b.Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported and disclosed amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The major estimates recorded in the Company’s financial statements include, but are not limited to, the reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses, premiums written and earned, ceded reinsurance, unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses recoverable and the fair value of investments.

c.Fair Value Measurements

Details on assets and liabilities that have been included under the requirements of authoritative guidance on fair value measurements to illustrate the bases for determining the fair values of these items held by the Company are included in Note 4, Fair Value and each respective section of this significant accounting policies note.

Where the Company has elected to account for certain of its assets and liabilities at fair value in accordance with FASB ASC Topic Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, the Company recognizes the change in unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in fair value in its statements of operations. See Note 2j, Investments for further detail.

d.Premiums and Acquisition Costs
Premiums written and ceded on a losses occurring basis are earned pro-rata over the terms of the related contracts and policies. For contracts written on a risks-attaching basis, premiums written and ceded are earned over the terms of the underlying contracts and policies. Premiums written and ceded include estimates based on information received from insureds, brokers and ceding companies, and any subsequent differences arising on such estimates are recorded in the periods in which they are determined. The portion of the premiums written and ceded applicable to the unexpired terms of the underlying contracts and policies are recorded as unearned premiums and prepaid reinsurance premiums, respectively. Amounts are computed by pro-rata methods based on statistical data or reports received from insureds, brokers or ceding companies. Reinstatement premiums are estimated after the occurrence of a significant loss and are recorded in accordance with the contract terms based upon paid losses and case reserves. Reinstatement premiums are earned when written.

Acquisition expenses are costs that vary with, and are directly related to, the successful acquisition of new or renewal business and consist principally of commissions, brokerage and premium tax expenses. These costs are deferred and amortized over the periods in which the related premiums are earned. Deferred acquisition costs are limited to their estimated realizable value based on the related unearned premiums. Anticipated losses and loss adjustment expenses, based on historical and current experience, and anticipated net investment income related to the premiums are considered in determining the recoverability of deferred acquisition costs.

e.Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of fixed maturity and short-term investments, cash and cash equivalents, premiums receivable and reinsurance balances recoverable. Cash and cash equivalents are held with financial institutions of high credit quality, and fixed maturity and short-term investments primarily consist of U.S. government, U.S. government agencies, and high credit quality issuers of corporate and debt securities. The Company limits the amount of credit exposure with any one financial institution or issuer and believe that no significant concentration of credit risk exists with respect to cash and investments.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
f.Reinsurance

In the normal course of business, the Company seeks to reduce the potential amount of loss arising from claims events by reinsuring certain levels of risk with other reinsurers. Ceded reinsurance contracts do not relieve the Company of its primary obligation to policyholders. Prepaid reinsurance represents the portion of premiums ceded to reinsurers applicable to the unexpired coverage terms of the reinsurance contracts in place. Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are estimated based on the terms and conditions of the reinsurance contracts, in a manner consistent with the underlying liabilities insured or reinsured by the Company. If the Company determines that adjustments to earlier estimates are appropriate, such adjustments are recorded in the periods in which they are determined. Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are recorded net of an allowance for expected credit losses. See Note 7, Reinsurance, for further details.

Retroactive reinsurance agreements are reinsurance agreements under which a reinsurer agrees to reimburse the Company as a result of past insurable events. For these agreements, the excess of the amounts ultimately collectible under the agreement over the consideration paid is recognized as a deferred gain liability which is amortized into income as a reduction of losses and loss adjustment expenses over the estimated ceded reserve settlement period. The amount of the deferred gain is recalculated each reporting period based on actual loss payments and updated estimates of ultimate losses. If cumulative adverse development occurs subsequent to the signing of a retroactive reinsurance agreement, it may result in significant losses from operations until periods when the recalculated deferred gain is recognized as a benefit to earnings. If the consideration paid for a retroactive reinsurance agreement exceeds the ultimate losses collectible under the agreement, the net loss on the retroactive reinsurance agreement is immediately recognized in income.

g.Credit Loss Provisions

The Company routinely evaluates its premiums receivable and paid and unpaid losses recoverable for potential specific credit or collection issues that might indicate an impairment. Premiums receivable and paid and unpaid losses recoverable are presented net of the resulting credit provisions, with the corresponding debits offset against gross premiums written or losses and loss adjustment expenses, as applicable, in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

The method for calculating the best estimate of losses depends on the size, nature, and risk characteristics of the related underwriting receivable. Such an estimate requires consideration of historical loss experience, current economic conditions, and judgments about the probable effects of relevant observable data, including historical information, counterparty financial strength ratings and the extent of collateralization. The underlying assumptions, estimates and assessments are updated periodically to reflect the Company's view of current conditions. Changes in estimates may significantly affect the allowance and provision for losses. It is possible that the Company's actual credit loss experience will differ materially from current estimates. Adjustments, if any, are recorded in earnings in the periods in which they become known. See Note 7, Reinsurance, for further details.

h.Reserve for Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses

The reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses includes reserves for unpaid reported losses and for losses incurred but not reported ("IBNR"). The reserve for unpaid reported losses and loss adjustment expenses is established by management based on reports from insureds, brokers and ceding companies and represents the estimated ultimate cost of events or conditions that have been reported to or specifically identified by the Company. The reserve for IBNR losses and loss adjustment expenses is established by management based on estimates of ultimate losses and loss adjustment expenses.

Inherent in the estimates of ultimate losses and loss adjustment expenses are expected trends in claim severity and frequency, the expected duration of the respective claims development period, inadequacies in the data provided by industry participants, the potential for further reporting lags, significant uncertainty as it relates to legal issues under the relevant terms of insurance and reinsurance contracts, and other factors, which may vary significantly as claims are settled. Accordingly, ultimate losses and loss adjustment expenses may differ materially from the amounts recorded in the financial statements. These estimates are reviewed regularly and, as experience develops and new information becomes known, the reserves are adjusted as necessary. Such adjustments, if any, are recorded in earnings in the periods in which they become known. See Note 8, Reserve for Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses, for further details.

i.Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include money market funds and highly liquid short-term deposits and securities with maturities of 90 days or less at the time of purchase. Money market funds are classified as Level 1 as these instruments are considered actively traded; however, certificates of deposit are classified as Level 2.

Restricted cash and cash equivalents typically relates to funds held in trust supporting a portion of the Lloyd's capital requirements and other underwriting obligations. See Note 3, Investments, for further details.

j.Investments

Investments - Trading

The Company elects the fair value option for its fixed maturity investments, short-term investments and certain other invested assets (excluding those that are accounted for using specialized investment company accounting as noted below). All changes in the fair value of investments are recorded within net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments in the consolidated statements of operations. See Note 4, Fair Value, for further details.

All investment transactions are recorded on a trade-date basis and are valued using pricing data received from third parties. Realized gains or losses on sales of investments are determined on a weighted average basis. Investment income is recognized when earned and includes interest and dividend income, recorded as of the ex-dividend date, together with the amortization of premium and discount on fixed maturities and short-term investments computed using the effective yield method. Net investment income includes related investment expenses.

Short-Term Investments

Short-term investments comprise securities with a maturity greater than three months but less than one year from the date of purchase.

Investments in Two Sigma Funds

TS Hamilton Fund invests in Two Sigma Funds ("Two Sigma Funds"), which are stated at their estimated fair values, which generally represent the Company’s proportionate interest in the members’ equity of the Two Sigma Funds as reported by the respective funds based on the net asset value ("NAV") provided by the fund administrator. The Company accounts for its investment in Two Sigma Funds under the variable interest model at NAV as a practical expedient for fair value in the consolidated balance sheets. Increases or decreases in such fair values are recorded within net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments in the consolidated statements of operations. Realized gains or losses upon any withdrawals of investments in the Two Sigma Funds are calculated using the weighted average method. The assets and liabilities of the Two Sigma Funds are recorded at fair value, or at amounts approximating fair value. The Company records contributions and withdrawals related to its investments in the Two Sigma Funds on the transaction date.

The specialized investment company accounting, as described above, is retained in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements upon consolidation of TS Hamilton Fund.

k.Foreign Exchange

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are revalued into the functional currency of each entity using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, with the resulting foreign exchange gains and losses included in earnings. Revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are revalued at the exchange rates in effect on the transaction date.

The Company’s reporting currency as at December 31, 2025 is the U.S. dollar ("USD"). The functional currency of the Company's U.K. subsidiaries changed from GBP to USD on January 1, 2017. The accumulated other comprehensive loss recorded prior to the change in functional currency will remain on the balance sheet until such time as the U.K. operations are sold, or substantially liquidated.

Hamilton Insurance Group, Ltd.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
l.Share Based Compensation

The Company issues restricted stock units, performance stock units and warrants and may issue other equity-based awards to its employees. Compensation cost is measured at the grant date fair value and expensed over the period for which the employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award. For awards subject to graded vesting, the awards are separated into vesting tranches, which are amortized over their respective vesting periods. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur.

See Note 12, Share Incentive Plans, for further details of the accounting treatment for the Value Appreciation Pool ("VAP").

m.Intangible Assets

The Company accounts for intangible assets that arise from business combinations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic Intangibles - Goodwill and Other. Other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized. Other intangible assets with a finite life are amortized over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

The Company's indefinite lived intangible assets are tested for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances warrant. Finite lived intangible assets are reviewed for indicators of impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable and tested for impairment if appropriate. If indefinite lived intangible assets are impaired, they are written down to their estimated fair value with a corresponding expense recorded in the Company's consolidated statement of operations.
As part of the annual impairment test of finite lived intangible assets, the Company has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it's necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test. Under this option, the Company would not be required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the Company determines, based on its qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit's fair value is less than its carrying amount. If finite lived intangible assets are impaired, they are written down to their estimated fair value with a corresponding expense recorded in the Company's consolidated statement of operations.

n.Variable Interest Entities

The Company accounts for variable interest entities ("VIE") in accordance with GAAP guidance, which requires the consolidation of all VIEs by the primary beneficiary: the investor that has the power to direct the activities of the VIE and will absorb a majority of the VIE’s expected losses or residual returns. The Company determines whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE by performing an analysis that principally considers: (i) the VIE’s purpose and design, including the risks the VIE was designed to create and pass through to its variable interest holders; (ii) the VIE’s capital structure; (iii) the terms between the VIE and its variable interest holders and other parties involved with the VIE; (iv) which variable interest holders have the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance; (v) which variable interest holders have the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE; and (vi) related party relationships. The Company reassesses its initial evaluation of an entity as a VIE upon the occurrence of certain reconsideration events. The Company also reassesses its determination of whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE upon changes in facts and circumstances that could potentially alter the Company’s assessment.

o.Non-Controlling Interest

The share classes related to the redeemable non-controlling interest portion of TS Hamilton Fund are not considered liabilities in accordance with GAAP and have redemption features that are not solely within the control of TS Hamilton Fund. Therefore, the redeemable non-controlling interest in TS Hamilton Fund is presented in the mezzanine section on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The net income or loss attributable to non-controlling interest is presented separately in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. See Note 5, Variable Interest Entities, for further details.

p.Earnings Per Share

The Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with FASB ASC Topic Earnings per Share. Basic earnings per share are based on weighted average common shares outstanding during the period and exclude any dilutive effects of restricted stock units and warrants. Diluted earnings per share includes the estimated impact under the Treasury Stock method where all dilutive restricted stock grants are assumed to vest and all dilutive warrants to be exercised during the period.
F-12

Hamilton Insurance Group, Ltd.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

q.Income Taxes

The Company records deferred income taxes that reflect the tax effect of the temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their respective tax bases. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in earnings in the fiscal period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance against deferred tax assets is recorded if it is not more likely than not that all, or some portion, of the benefits related to deferred tax assets will be realized. The valuation allowance assessment considers tax planning strategies, where applicable.

r.Government Grants - Bermuda Substance Based Tax Credit

The Bermuda Tax Credits Act 2025 (the "Credits Act") became effective on December 11, 2025. The Company qualifies for the Credits Act Accrued Substance Based Tax Credit ("SBTC") which rewards Bermuda based insurers who demonstrate significant investment in the Bermuda economy through employment of Bermuda based employees and patronage of local businesses where the Bermuda group include at least one Bermuda Monetary Authority ("BMA") regulated insurer and where the group derives more than 50% of its aggregate gross revenues from insurance activities in the fiscal year.

The SBTC is calculated with reference to both job-based and expense-based components. The credit may be applied against corporate income tax and/or be refunded to the extent the Company has paid employer based payroll expenses. To the extent the credits have not been fully utilized after four years, it is refundable to the Bermuda entity in cash. Implementation is subject to a transition factor, with full benefit to be phased in for fiscal years beginning in 2027. Unused credits may be carried forward and applied over a three-year benefit period.

The SBTC is accrued in line with the underlying qualifying payroll and other eligible expenses. The SBTC is recorded as an offset to "General and administrative expenses" on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) and in "Other assets" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, while the change in accrual is reflected in operating cash flows on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company recorded an SBTC of $20.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Hamilton Insurance Group, Ltd.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Two Sigma and the Managing Member are related parties to the Company as described further in Note 1, Organization. Effective July 1, 2023, an investment management agreement with Two Sigma requires TS Hamilton Fund to incur a management fee of 2.5% of the non-managing members' equity in the net asset value of the TS Hamilton Fund per annum. The management fee for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $52.6 million, $46.9 million and $45.2 million, respectively.

Under the terms of the limited liability company agreement between Hamilton Re and the Managing Member, the Managing Member is entitled to an incentive allocation equal to 30% of TS Hamilton Fund’s net profits, subject to high watermark provisions, and adjusted for withdrawals and any incentive allocation to the Managing Member. In the event there is a net loss during a quarter and a net profit during any subsequent quarter, the Managing Member is entitled to a modified incentive allocation whereby the regular incentive allocation will be reduced by 50% until subsequent cumulative net profits are credited in an amount equal to 200% of the previously allocated net losses. The Managing Member is also entitled to receive an additional incentive allocation as of the end of each fiscal year (or on any date Hamilton Re withdraws all or a portion of its capital), in an amount equal to 25% of the Excess Profits. "Excess Profits" for any given fiscal year (or other such accounting period) means the net profits over 10% for such fiscal year, net of management fees and expenses and gross of incentive allocations, but only after recouping previously unrecouped net losses. To the extent Hamilton Re contributes capital other than at the beginning of a fiscal year or withdraws capital other than at the end of a fiscal year, the additional incentive allocation hurdle with respect to such capital is prorated. The aggregate incentive allocation (inclusive of the additional incentive allocation) for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $263.3 million, $212.7 million and $21.5 million, respectively.

4. Fair Value

Financial Instruments Subject to Fair Value Measurements

Accounting guidance over fair value measurements requires that a fair value measurement reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on the best information available. Assumptions include the risks inherent in a particular valuation technique (such as a pricing model) and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the model. The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (the "exit price"). Instruments that the Company owns are marked to bid prices.

Basis of Fair Value Measurements

Fair value measurement accounting guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to the respective valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). An asset or liability’s classification within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of significant input to its valuation. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

•Level 1 - Inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date;

•Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active; and

•Level 3 - Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

Assets Recorded at Fair Value - Fixed Maturity and Short-term Investments

The following section describes the valuation methodologies used to determine the fair value of the Company’s fixed maturity and short-term investments by asset class:

•U.S. government treasuries: fair value based on observable market inputs such as quoted prices, reported trades, quoted prices for similar issuances and benchmark yields;

•U.S. states, territories and municipalities: fair value based on observable market inputs such as quoted market prices, quoted prices for similar securities, benchmark yields and credit spreads;

F-19

Hamilton Insurance Group, Ltd.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
•Non-U.S. sovereign governments and supranationals: fair value based on observable market inputs such as quoted market prices, quoted prices for similar securities and models with observable inputs such as benchmark yields and credit spreads, and then, where applicable, converted to U.S. dollars using an exchange rate from a nationally recognized source;

•Corporate: fair value based on observable market inputs such as quoted market prices, quoted prices for similar securities, benchmark yields and credit spreads;

•Asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities: fair value based on observable inputs such as quoted prices, reported trades, quoted prices for similar issuances or benchmark yields and cash flow models using observable inputs such as prepayment speeds, collateral performance and default spreads; and

•Short-term investments: fair value based on observable market inputs such as quoted prices, reported trades, quoted prices for similar issuances and benchmark yields.

5. Variable Interest Entities

TS Hamilton Fund

TS Hamilton Fund meets the definition of a variable interest entity ("VIE") principally because the Managing Member does not hold substantive equity at risk in the entity but controls all of the decision making authority over it. Therefore, the Company assessed its ownership in the VIE to determine if it is the primary beneficiary. The Managing Member is a related party to the Company and collectively they hold all of the variable interest. The Company performed an assessment of all relevant facts and circumstances and determined that it is the entity within the related party group for whom substantially all of the activities of the VIE are conducted. As a result, the Company concluded that it is the primary beneficiary of TS Hamilton Fund.

Activity in the non-controlling interest of TS Hamilton Fund was as follows:

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
The Company's finite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives. As of December 31, 2025, the estimated weighted average amortization period by class consisted of coverholder and broker relationships (10 years) and internally developed software (5 years). Costs incurred to renew or extend the assets' useful lives are expensed straight-line over the remaining life of the related asset or asset class. The weighted-average amortization period is 2.3 years and the estimated amortization expense for each of the five succeeding fiscal years and thereafter related to these assets is as follows:

7. Reinsurance

The Company purchases reinsurance and other protection to manage its risk portfolio and to reduce its exposure to large losses. The Company currently has in place contracts that provide for recovery of a portion of certain loss and loss adjustment expenses, generally in excess of various retentions or on a proportional basis. Amounts recoverable under reinsurance contracts are recorded as assets. The Company remains liable to the extent that any reinsurance company fails to meet its obligations.

The following tables set forth the effect of reinsurance and retrocessional activity on premiums written and earned and on losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred:

Allowance for Expected Credit Losses

Premiums receivable, paid losses recoverable, and unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses recoverable comprise the Company's most significant credit exposures not carried at fair value. The Company has not historically experienced significant credit losses. In determining an allowance for these assets, the Company considers historical information in combination with counterparty financial strength ratings and the extent to which balances are collateralized. The Company assesses the risk of future default by evaluating current market conditions for the likelihood of default and calculates its provision for current expected credit losses under the probability of default and loss given default methodology.

Premiums Receivable

Premiums receivable are estimated based on policy terms and reports received from the underlying counterparties, supplemented by management's judgment. Due to the nature of the (re)insurance business, the Company routinely receives reports and premiums subsequent to the inception of the coverage period. At December 31, 2025, the Company’s premiums receivable balance, net of credit provisions of $3.4 million, was $939.8 million. At December 31, 2024, the Company’s premiums receivable balance, net of credit provisions of $3.0 million, was $771.7 million.

The following table provides a roll forward of the provision for current expected credit losses of the Company's premiums receivable:

Increase (decrease) in allowance 450 (7)144 
Balance - end of year$3,443 $2,993 $3,000 

Reinsurance Balances Recoverable

Reinsurance balances recoverable is comprised of amounts due from reinsurers based on the claim liabilities associated with the reinsured policy. The Company accrues amounts due from reinsurers based on estimated ultimate contract losses. At December 31, 2025, the Company’s paid and unpaid reinsurance recoverable balances net of credit provisions were $93.7 million and $1.4 billion, respectively, with a total corresponding provision for current expected credit losses of $1.7 million. At December 31, 2024, the Company’s paid and unpaid reinsurance recoverable balances net of credit provisions were $134.4 million and $1.2 billion, respectively, with a total corresponding provision for current expected credit losses of $1.5 million.

Loss Portfolio Transfer

On February 6, 2020, the Company entered into a loss portfolio transfer agreement (the "LPT"), under which the insurance liabilities arising from certain casualty risks for the Lloyd's Years of Account ("YOA") 2016, 2017 and 2018 were retroceded to a third party in exchange for total premium of $72.1 million. This transaction was accounted for as retroactive reinsurance under which cumulative ceded losses exceeding the LPT premium are recognized as a deferred gain liability and amortized into income over the settlement period of the ceded reserves in proportion to cumulative losses collected over the estimated ultimate reinsurance recoverable. The amount of the deferred gain is recalculated each reporting period based on updated ultimate loss estimates. Consequently, cumulative adverse development subsequent to the signing of the LPT may result in significant losses from operations until periods when the recalculated deferred gain is recognized as a benefit to earnings.

At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the balance of reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses due under this LPT was $22.7 million and $23.7 million, respectively. Amortization of the deferred gain was an expense of $0.8 million and $9.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, and income of $4.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, respectively, which was recorded through losses and loss adjustment expenses in accordance with the actual loss payments and updated estimates of ultimate losses of the subject business.

Catastrophe Bond Reinsurance

In December 2023, Hamilton Group sponsored an industry loss index-triggered catastrophe bond through the issuance of Series 2024-1 Class A Principal-at-Risk Variable Rate Notes by Bermuda domiciled Easton Re Ltd. ("Easton Re"), which provide the Company's operating platforms with multi-year risk transfer capacity of $200 million to protect against named storm risk in the United States and earthquake risk in the United States and Canada. The risk period for Easton Re is from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026. The Company recorded reinsurance premiums ceded of $15.2 million and $14.6 million during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

In December 2020, Hamilton Group sponsored an industry loss index-triggered catastrophe bond through the issuance of Series 2020-1 Class A Principal-at-Risk Variable Rate Notes by Singapore domiciled Easton Re Pte, Ltd. (also "Easton Re"). Easton Re provided the Company's operating platforms with multi-year risk transfer capacity of $150 million to protect against named storm and earthquake risk in the United States. The risk period for Easton Re was from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2023. The Company recorded reinsurance premiums ceded of $7.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2023.

•Net favorable development of $37.5 million on property contracts, primarily driven by favorable prior year development on catastrophe losses and overall lower than expected claims development across various classes; partially offset by
•Net unfavorable development of $14.2 million on casualty contracts, primarily driven by higher than expected claims development across certain classes and unfavorable development of a specific large loss;
•Net unfavorable development of $8.8 million on specialty contracts, primarily driven by two specific large losses; and

•In addition, casualty business protected by the LPT discussed in Note 7, Reinsurance, benefited from favorable development in the underlying reserves of $15.3 million, which was partially offset by a change in the deferred gain of $9.4 million, for a total net positive earnings impact of $5.9 million.

Net favorable prior year development of $15.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 was comprised of $10.4 million and $5.2 million of favorable prior year development on attritional and catastrophe losses, respectively. See below for further details:

•Net favorable development of $18.6 million on specialty contracts, driven by lower loss estimates across various classes; partially offset by
•Net unfavorable development of $4.6 million on property contracts, primarily driven by higher than expected claims related to Winterstorm Elliot and development on certain attritional claims, including claims arising from exited classes of business;
•Net unfavorable development of $3.4 million on casualty contracts, reflecting modest unfavorable development on certain classes of business; and
•In addition, casualty business protected by the LPT discussed in Note 7, Reinsurance, benefited from a $4.2 million change in the deferred gain and favorable development in the underlying reserves of $0.8 million, for a total net positive earnings impact of $5.0 million.

Reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses related to the LPT discussed in Note 7, Reinsurance was recognized for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 in the reconciliation of beginning and ending gross and net loss and LAE reserves.

Acquisition Costs

The Company amortized acquisition costs of $507.3 million, $388.9 million and $309.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

California Wildfires

Our net reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses related to the California wildfires are subject to significant uncertainty. As at December 31, 2025 and 2024, our net recorded reserves relating to the California wildfires totaled $57.5 million and $Nil, respectively.

Baltimore Bridge

Our net reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses related to the Francis Scott Key Baltimore Bridge collapse on March 26, 2024 are also subject to significant uncertainty. As at December 31, 2025 and 2024, our net recorded reserves
totaled $20.5 million and $34.8 million, respectively.

Ukraine Conflict

Our net reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses related to the ongoing Ukraine conflict are also subject to significant uncertainty. As at December 31, 2025 and 2024, our net recorded reserves totaled $59.5 million and $63.2 million, respectively.

While the Company believes, based on current facts and circumstances, that its estimates of net reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses are adequate for losses and loss adjustment expenses that have been incurred at December 31, 2025, the Company will continue to monitor its assumptions as new information becomes available and will adjust its estimate of net reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses as appropriate. Actual ultimate losses for these events may differ materially from the Company's current estimates.

Reserving

The Company's reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses consists of case reserves and IBNR reserves. Case reserves are reserves for reported losses and loss adjustment expenses that have not yet been settled. IBNR are reserves for incurred but not reported losses and loss adjustment expenses, and include reserves for reported losses in excess of case reserves.

Case Reserves

For reinsurance business, the Company typically receives loss notifications from its cedants in the form of loss bordereaux or individual loss notifications. These notifications generally include varying amounts of information about the nature and quantum of the loss, including paid amounts and estimates of outstanding loss. The Company records the estimates of outstanding loss from its cedants as case reserves. Typically there is a timing lag between the cedant establishing a reserve and notifying the loss to the Company. In addition, different cedants have different claims handling practices which result in case reserve estimates that vary in the level of embedded prudence.

For insurance business, the Company records a case reserve for the estimated amount of settlement. This amount is based on the judgment of the Company’s claims team and takes into account the class of business, nature of the claim and, if appropriate, the advice of specialist legal counsel and external loss adjusters, and includes the estimated expenses of settling the claim, such as legal and other fees. The Company may sometimes use third party claims administrators to handle claims and set case reserves, within defined authority levels and service level agreements. In syndicated markets such as Lloyd’s, the Company’s case reserve will be based in part on information provided by the lead insurer, where the Company is not an agreement party. Any adjustments to case reserves are accounted for as changes in estimates and recorded in the period in which such changes are identified.

IBNR Reserves

The Company establishes IBNR reserves for large events based on a number of different factors, including information from brokers and cedants, proprietary loss modelling and pricing software, estimates of market loss and market share, experience from historical large events and other information that can guide the estimates of loss reserves. The Company's actuaries may use other approaches in addition to those described, and supplement these methods with judgement where they deem appropriate, depending upon the characteristics of the class of business and available data. These estimates are reviewed periodically as new information emerges.

IBNR reserves for attritional losses are established using actuarial loss reserving techniques. These techniques include the loss development factor method, Bornheutter Ferguson method, the Initial Expected Loss Ratio method, and other techniques. These techniques rely on estimates of paid and reported loss development patterns and estimates of the loss ratio at the inception of the contract. The Company’s actuaries review the estimates of IBNR reserves on a quarterly basis and adjust the estimates as new information becomes available. Any such adjustments are accounted for as changes in estimates and recorded in the periods in which they become known.

To establish IBNR reserves for attritional losses, contracts are grouped into cohorts, or reserving classes, that have similar coverage, inception period and loss reporting characteristics. The paid and reported losses for these reserving classes are tracked over time against expectations and against the actuarial loss reserving indications and IBNR reserve selected for each cohort.

Claims Development and Frequency

In determining the cumulative number of reported claims, the Company measures claim counts on its insurance business by individual claimant where information is available. The claim counts include all claims reported where the Company has identified a potential liability for the claim even if there is no existing reserve. Reinsurance business is typically written under either proportional (quota share arrangements) or non-proportional arrangements (excess of loss or other facultative covers).

F-28

Hamilton Insurance Group, Ltd.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
The Company typically does not have direct access to claim frequency information underlying its assumed quota share arrangements, given the nature of that business. In addition, multiple claims are often aggregated by the ceding company before being reported to the Company. The Company generally does not use claim frequency information in the determination of loss reserves or for other internal purposes relating to proportional business. In addition, the nature, size, terms and conditions of contracts entered into by the Company may change from one accident year to the next and the quantum of contractual or policy limits, and accordingly, the potential amount of losses and loss adjustment expenses associated with a reported claim, can range from nominal to significant, and therefore the Company does not believe providing claims frequency information is practicable as it relates to its proportional business.

The Company has developed claims frequency information associated with its non-proportional reinsurance contracts. In determining claims frequency for its excess of loss reinsurance contracts, claims counts include all claims reported by each insured where a reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses has been recorded. The Company has assumed that claims below the loss layer of a contract are excluded; if an insured's claim impacts multiple layers of a contract, the Company considers each impact to be a separate claim, and for an insured loss impacting more than one operating subsidiary, each impact is considered a separate claim.

9. Segment Reporting

The Company has determined its reportable business segments based on the information used by management in assessing performance and allocating resources to underwriting operations and has identified two reportable business segments - International and Bermuda. Each of the Company's identified reportable segments has a Chief Executive Officer who is responsible for the overall profitability of their segment and who regularly reports and is directly accountable to the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"): the Chief Executive Officer of the consolidated group. The CODM's responsibilities include providing leadership to all levels of employees; developing culture, values, and ethos; setting the Company's strategy, vision and direction; and overall responsibility for the success and profitability of the Company, including evaluating segment performance.
The CODM evaluates reportable segment performance based on the segments' respective underwriting income or loss. Underwriting income or loss is calculated as net premiums earned less losses and loss adjustment expenses, acquisition costs, and other underwriting expenses, net of third party fee income. General and administrative expenses not incurred by the reportable segments are included in corporate and other expenses as part of the reconciliation of net underwriting income or loss to net income or loss attributable to common shareholders. As the Company does not manage its assets by reportable segment, investment income and assets are not allocated to reportable segments.

The Company's core business is underwriting and its underwriting results are reflected in its reportable segments: (1) International, which is comprised of property, casualty and specialty insurance and reinsurance classes of business originating from the Company’s London, Dublin, and Hamilton Select operations; and (2) Bermuda, which is comprised of property, casualty and specialty insurance and reinsurance classes of business originating from Hamilton Re, Bermuda and Hamilton Re US and subsidiaries. The Company considers many factors, including the nature of each segment’s products, client types, production sources, distribution methods and the regulatory environment, in determining the aggregated operating segments.

Corporate includes net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments, net investment income (loss), other income (loss) not incurred by the reportable segments, net foreign exchange gains (losses), general and administrative expenses not incurred by the reportable segments, amortization of intangible assets, interest expense, and income tax expense (benefit).

10. Debt and Credit Facilities

Debt

On June 10, 2025, Hamilton Group entered into a $150 million term loan credit arrangement (the "Facility") with various lenders as arranged by Wells Fargo Securities, LLC. The Facility replaces Hamilton Group's $150 million term loan credit agreement, as amended through and including June 23, 2022, between Hamilton Group and the lenders thereto (as amended the "Existing Loan Agreement"). The Facility will be used to refinance the indebtedness outstanding under the Existing Loan Agreement. All or a portion of the loan issued under the Facility bears interest, at the option of Hamilton Group, at either (a) a base rate plus an applicable margin or (b) the Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus an applicable margin, in each case with the applicable margin determined with reference to the Company's long-term issuer default rating as assigned by Fitch. The Facility matures on June 9, 2028, unless accelerated pursuant to the terms of the Facility, and it contains usual and customary representations, warranties, conditions and covenants for bank loan facilities of this type. The Facility also includes financial covenants, including a financial strength rating test, a minimum consolidated tangible net worth test and a maximum consolidated indebtedness to total capitalization ratio. As at December 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.

The following table presents the gross outstanding loan balance, loan fair value and unamortized loan issuance costs:

December 31,
($ in thousands)20252024
Outstanding loan balance$150,000 $150,000 
Loan fair value150,280 150,463 
Unamortized loan issuance costs$257 $55 

Debt issuance costs are amortized over the period during which the Facility is outstanding, as an offset to net investment income (loss). The Company amortized debt issuance costs of $0.1 million or less in each of the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023. The Company’s debt is classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy because it is valued using an income approach, which utilizes a discounted cash flow technique that considers the credit profile of the Company.

Credit Facilities

The Company has several available letter of credit ("LOC") facilities and a revolving loan facility provided by commercial banks. The letter of credit facilities are utilized to provide collateral to reinsureds of Hamilton Re and its affiliates to the extent required under insurance and reinsurance agreements and to support capital requirements at Lloyd’s.

On December 5, 2018 and December 27, 2018, Hamilton Re entered into a Master Agreement for Issuance of Payment Instruments and a Facility Letter for Issuance of Payment Instruments respectively, with CitiBank Europe Plc ("CitiBank Europe"), under which CitiBank Europe agreed to provide an uncommitted secured letter of credit facility for the issuance of standby letters of credit or similar instruments in multiple currencies. On November 15, 2024, letter of credit capacity under this facility was increased to $250 million. At all times during which it is a party to the facility, Hamilton Re is obligated to pledge to CitiBank Europe cash and/or securities with a value that equals or exceeds the aggregate face amount of its then-outstanding letters of credit. The Master Agreement contains events of default customary for facilities of this type. In the facility letter, Hamilton Re makes representations and warranties that are customary for facilities of this type and agrees that it will comply with certain informational and other undertakings.

Hamilton Insurance Group, Ltd.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
On June 10, 2025, Hamilton Group and Hamilton Re entered into a $450 million credit agreement with a syndication of lenders (the "Unsecured Facility"). Under the Unsecured Facility, the lenders have agreed to provide up to an aggregate of $450 million of letter of credit capacity for Hamilton Re, up to $150 million of which may be utilized for revolving loans to be issued to Hamilton Group. At December 31, 2025, there were no loan amounts outstanding under the Unsecured Facility. Letters of credit issued under the Unsecured Facility bear interest at a rate determined by Hamilton Group’s long-term issuer default rating, while revolving loans, if drawn, accrue interest at the option of Hamilton Group at either (a) a base rate plus an applicable margin or (b) Adjusted Term SOFR plus an applicable margin. In each case, the applicable margin is determined based on Hamilton Group’s long-term issuer default rating as assigned by Fitch. Currently, any letters of credit issued under the facility bear interest at a rate of 125 basis points. Revolving loans, if issued, are subject to a fee equal to the prime rate plus 50 basis points or Adjusted Term SOFR plus a margin of 150 basis points. To the extent such loans are issued, the available letter of credit capacity shall decrease proportionally, such that the aggregate credit exposure for the lenders under the Unsecured Facility is $450 million. Amounts unutilized under the Unsecured Facility are subject to a fee based upon Hamilton Group's long-term issuer default rating as assigned by Fitch. This currently bears a fee of 17.5 basis points. The Unsecured Facility is subject to representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default that the Company considers customary for similar facilities. The Unsecured Facility also includes financial covenants, including a financial strength rating test, a minimum consolidated tangible net worth test and a maximum consolidated indebtedness to total capitalization ratio. Capacity is provided by Wells Fargo, National Association, Truist Bank, Commerzbank AG, New York Branch, Citizens Bank, N.A., HSBC Bank USA, National Association, and Barclays Bank PLC. Unless renewed or otherwise terminated in accordance with its terms, the Unsecured Facility has a maturity date of June 9, 2028.

On October 23, 2025, Hamilton Re amended its letter of credit facility agreement with UBS AG ("UBS") under which UBS and certain of its affiliates agreed to make available to Hamilton Re a secured letter of credit facility in an amount that is equal to the greater of (i) $25 million and (ii) the LOC amount issued and outstanding, provided that the amount shall not at any time be greater than $75 million, for a term that will expire on October 23, 2026. The facility bears a fee of 140 basis points on the total available capacity.

In addition, on October 20, 2025, Hamilton Re amended the unsecured letter of credit facility agreement that it utilizes to provide Funds at Lloyd's ("FAL") ("FAL LOC Facility") to support the FAL requirements of Syndicate 4000. Capacity is provided by ING Bank N.V., London Branch, Commerzbank AG, New York Branch, and Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch. The FAL LOC Facility was renewed in the amount of $260 million for a term that expires on December 31, 2029. The facility bears a fee of 150 basis points on the borrowed amount.

The Company’s obligations under its credit facilities require Hamilton Group, Hamilton Re and the other parties thereto to comply with various financial and reporting covenants. All applicable entities were in compliance with all such covenants at December 31, 2025.

Certain of the Company's credit facilities are secured by pledged interests in the TS Hamilton Fund, the Company's fixed income security portfolio, or cash. The Company’s credit facilities and associated securities pledged, were as follows:

On November 4, 2025, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of the Company's common shares in the aggregate amount of $150.0 million, in addition to remaining amounts under the prior authorization    (collectively, the "Authorization"), under which the Company may repurchase shares through open market repurchases and/or privately negotiated transactions. The Authorization will expire when the Company has repurchased the full value of shares authorized, unless terminated earlier by the Board of Directors. All shares repurchased under the Authorization were subsequently cancelled. As of December 31, 2025, $178.5 million remained available for repurchase under the Authorization.

On May 8, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement to repurchase 9.1 million Class A common shares at $12.00 per share (the "Share Repurchase"). The total purchase price was $109.5 million. The common shares purchased by the Company were cancelled following the repurchase transaction.

In general, holders of Class A common shares and Class B common shares have one vote for each common share held while the Class C common shares have no voting rights, except as required by law. However, each holder of Class A common shares and Class B common shares is limited to voting (directly, indirectly or constructively, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that number of common shares equal to 9.5% of the total combined voting power of all classes of shares of the Company (or, in the case of a class vote by the holders of our Class B common shares, such as in respect of the election or removal of directors other than for directors who are appointed by certain shareholders pursuant to the Shareholders Agreement and our Bye-laws, an amount calculated by multiplying (a) 9.5% and (b) the quotient of dividing (x) the total number of directors by (y) the number of directors elected by holders of Class B common shares). In addition, the Board of Directors may, in its absolute discretion, limit a shareholder’s voting rights when it deems it appropriate to do so to avoid certain material adverse tax, legal or regulatory consequences to the Company, any subsidiary of the Company, or any direct or indirect shareholder or its affiliates.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
The Company Bye-laws provide for the automatic redesignation of shares upon any transfer, whether or not for value, from (i) Class A common shares to Class B common shares and from (ii) Class C common shares to Class B common shares. Upon notice from a Class A Member to the Company that certain Class B common shares are held by a Class A Member or a Permitted Transferee thereof, if so requested by the Class A Member and upon approval by a Simple Majority of the Board, such Class B common shares shall convert automatically into the same number of Class A common shares. The number of authorized and issued Class B common shares shall be reduced by the aggregate number of such issued Class B common shares so converted and the number of authorized and issued Class A common shares shall be correspondingly increased by the same amount. Upon notice from a Class A Member and/or Class B Member to the Company and upon approval by a Simple Majority of the Board, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or unduly delayed, such Class A common shares and/or Class B common shares shall be redesignated as Class C common shares. In such instance, the authorized and issued number of Class A common shares and/or Class B common shares shall be reduced by the aggregate number of such shares so converted and the number of Class C common shares shall be correspondingly increased by the same amount. Upon notice from a Class C Member to the Company and upon approval of a Simple Majority of the Board, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or unduly delayed, such Class C common shares shall be redesignated Class B common shares. In such instance, the authorized and issued number of Class C common shares shall be reduced by the aggregate number of such Class C common shares so converted and the number of authorized and issued Class B common shares shall be correspondingly increased by the same amount.

During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, 0.5 million and 1.7 million, respectively, Class A common shares were converted into Class B common shares at the request of the Class A Members and as approved by the Board.

12. Share Incentive Plans

The Company is authorized to issue restricted stock units ("RSUs"), performance stock units ("PSUs"), restricted stock awards ("RSAs"), options (including incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options), stock appreciation rights, stock bonus awards, other stock based awards, or any combination thereof to its employees and directors under the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan, which was adopted by the Board of Directors and approved by the shareholders in connection with the Company's IPO. The 2023 Equity Incentive Plan became effective upon the completion of the IPO and replaced the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan. No new awards will be granted under the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan.

The total number of Class B common shares available for issuance under the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan may be increased on the first day of each fiscal year for a period of not more than nine years, commencing on the first day of the second fiscal year following the date on which the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan is adopted in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) two percent (2%) of the outstanding Class B common shares on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, and (ii) such number of Class B common shares as determined by the Company's Board of Directors (or a committee thereof) in its discretion. As of December 31, 2025, 5,452,566 Class B common shares are available for issuance of awards of all types.

Separately, the Value Appreciation Pool ("VAP") is a long-term incentive compensation plan that rewarded employees with 10% of the increase in the multiple of the Company's estimated fair market value to GAAP shareholders' equity between the December 1, 2020 VAP inception date and the Company's Initial Public Offering on November 10, 2023.

The grant date fair value of restricted stock awards is established at the fair market value of the Company’s Class B common shares on the date of grant. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company granted employees RSUs with a total estimated fair value of $15.8 million, $14.5 million, and $14.2 million, respectively, which generally vest over a three-year period. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company granted non-employee directors RSUs with a total fair value of $1.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively, which vest over a one-year period.

Value Appreciation Pool Restricted Stock Units

The VAP, which was granted by a then nonpublic company, was initially measured as a liability award at intrinsic value and no compensation cost was recorded over the period December 1, 2020 to March 31, 2023. On May 15, 2023, the Company became a public business entity and the VAP was remeasured at fair value. The fair value of the compensation cost was estimated at each reporting date and expensed over the period for which the employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, with any changes recorded in compensation expense by a cumulative catch-up adjustment.

The Company consummated an IPO of its Class B common shares and, on November 10, 2023, closed its first day of trading. In accordance with the Compensation Committee's decision that the VAP award would be settled in shares if triggered by an IPO, the VAP became subject to equity award accounting. The VAP RSUs vested in two tranches, subject to continued service: 50% on each of the first and second anniversaries of the November 10, 2023 trigger event. Participants who left prior to vesting forfeited any unsettled portion of their awards.

The Company recorded VAP compensation expense of $1.8 million, $9.2 million and $34.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Of the total expense recognized for the year ended December 31, 2023, $4.2 million was recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings in "Share compensation expense" in the second quarter of 2023.

14. Income Taxes

Hamilton Group and its Bermuda domiciled subsidiaries were not subject to income tax in Bermuda in 2024 and prior. On December 27, 2023, Bermuda enacted a 15% corporate income tax that generally became effective on January 1, 2025. The legislation defers the effective date until 2030 for Bermuda companies that meet certain requirements. Hamilton Group expects to meet the requirements to remain exempt until 2030. The legislation includes a provision referred to as the Economic Transition Adjustment ("ETA"), which is intended to provide a fair and equitable transition into the tax regime. As of December 31, 2025, the Company holds a deferred tax asset of $35.4 million relating to the ETA on its balance sheet, which it expects to utilize to reduce future taxes paid. The Company expects to incur increased taxes on its Bermuda-sourced income beginning in 2030.

Hamilton Group has global subsidiaries and branches that are subject to tax in the jurisdictions in which they operate. The jurisdictions in which Hamilton Group’s subsidiaries and branches are currently subject to tax are the United Kingdom, Ireland and the United States. The Company and some of its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various U.S. states, and certain foreign jurisdictions.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are valued at the tax rate at which they are expected to be realized. In June 2021, the U.K. enacted a tax rate of 25% with an effective date of April 1, 2023, an increase from the previous corporation tax rate of 19%. Accordingly, for the year ended November 30, 2021, the Company revalued all of its U.K. deferred tax assets and liabilities that were expected to reverse after December 31, 2023. Revaluations of U.K. deferred tax assets and liabilities continued to occur until January 1, 2024, when both the current and deferred tax rates were aligned at 25%. The revaluation of the deferred tax assets resulted in a tax expense (benefit) of $Nil, $Nil and $0.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The financial statement impact of the rate changes were offset in each period by a valuation allowance, resulting in a related net tax expense (benefit) after valuation allowance of $Nil, $Nil, and $0.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

When evaluating the Company’s ability to realize the benefit of its deferred tax assets, the Company considers the relevant impact of all available positive and negative evidence, including historical earnings, expected future earnings, carryback and carryforward periods and strategies (if available) that would result in the realization of a deferred tax asset. Future realization of the Company’s deferred tax asset depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character (for example, ordinary income versus capital gains) to utilize the deferred tax assets within the applicable carry-forward periods provided under the tax law.

Of the $17.1 million valuation allowance recorded at December 31, 2025, $9.2 million related to deferred tax assets on net operating losses and other deferred tax benefits in the U.K., $7.0 million related to deferred tax assets on net operating losses and other deferred tax benefits in the U.S. and $0.9 million related to deferred tax assets on net operating losses and other deferred tax benefits in Ireland. It is not expected that these companies will generate sufficient future taxable income to utilize their deferred tax assets.

In the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company recorded tax benefits of $43.4 million, $2.4 million and $0.2 million arising from the net release of valuation allowances against deferred tax assets in its U.K., U.S. and Irish domiciled subsidiaries, respectively. The Company's U.K. domiciled entities had previously built up substantial deferred tax assets, primarily due to net operating loss carryforwards, which primarily related to prior years' pre-tax losses in these entities. Valuation allowances had been established on these deferred tax assets prior to the fourth quarter of 2025 because the subsidiaries did not expect to earn sufficient future taxable income to utilize them. The profitability of the U.K. subsidiaries improved significantly in the past few years, supporting the conclusion that the majority of their deferred tax assets are realizable.

Recognition of the benefit of a given tax position is based upon whether a company determines that it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position. At December 31, 2025, the Company believes that it has no uncertain tax positions that, if challenged on technical merits, would cause a material effect on the Company's audited consolidated financial statements.

Hamilton Group classifies all interest and penalties on income taxes as part of income tax expense (benefit). During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized less than $0.1 million interest income or expense. There was no accrued interest as of December 31, 2025. With few exceptions, Hamilton Group is no longer subject to tax examinations by U.S. federal or state examinations before 2022 or non-U.S. tax examinations before 2021.

15. Commitments and Contingencies

Concentrations of Credit Risks

Credit risk arises out of the failure of a counterparty to perform according to the terms of the contract. Instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of fixed maturity and short-term investments, cash and cash equivalents, premiums receivable and reinsurance balances recoverable. The Company limits the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution and, except for the securities of the U.S. Government and U.S. Government related entities, none of the Company’s fixed maturity and short-term investments exceeded 10% of shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2025. The Company evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers, who primarily consist of highly rated reinsurers and may require collateralization of those recoverable balances. See Note 2g, Credit Loss Provisions and Note 7, Reinsurance, for further details.

Operating Leases

The Company leases office space under operating leases in Bermuda, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Ireland. These leases expire at various dates through 2030, with a weighted average lease term of 2.0 years. In accordance with ASU 2016-02 Leases, the Company's balance sheet reflects a $6.7 million and $9.1 million right of use asset in "Other assets" and a discounted lease liability of $7.1 million and $9.2 million in "Accounts payable and accrued expenses", as at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The discounted lease liability was calculated with reference to weighted average discount rates of 5.38% and 5.30% as at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Leases including renewal options are recorded on the balance sheet when management is reasonably certain the options will be exercised. Operating lease expense for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $3.5 million, $3.4 million and $3.8 million, respectively.

Future minimum lease payments under the leases are expected to be as follows:

17. Statutory Requirements

The Company is subject to the laws and statutory requirements of each jurisdiction in which the Company and its subsidiaries operate. These laws establish the Company's applicable minimum required statutory capital and surplus requirements and govern its ability to pay dividends. The minimum required statutory capital and surplus is the amount of statutory capital and surplus necessary to satisfy regulatory requirements based on the Company’s current operations. The difference between statutory financial statements and statements prepared in accordance with GAAP varies by jurisdiction; however, the primary difference is that statutory financial statements generally do not reflect goodwill or intangible assets.

Group

The Bermuda Monetary Authority ("BMA") is the Company's group supervisor and its group capital and solvency requirements determine the minimum capital thresholds that Hamilton Group must meet. Hamilton Group is dependent on dividends from its subsidiaries to pay its operating and financing expenses.

The actual and minimum required statutory capital and surplus for the Company’s principal operating subsidiaries by regulatory jurisdiction were as follows:
Bermuda (1)
United Kingdom (2)
Ireland (3)
United States(4)

____________

(1) Minimum statutory capital and surplus at December 31, 2025 for the Bermuda operating subsidiary is required to be maintained at the greater of a minimum solvency margin ("MSM"), as disclosed in the table above, and the Enhanced Capital Requirement ("ECR"), where applicable.
(2) Minimum statutory capital and surplus at December 31, 2025 for the U.K. operating entities is determined by reference to the entities' Solvency Capital Requirement and the Solvency II capital regime. U.K. operations are subject to Lloyd’s requirements where underwriting members hold acceptable FAL and/or Syndicates hold acceptable Funds In Syndicate ("FIS") for their own account, in support of the total actual statutory capital and surplus amount. Actual statutory capital and surplus is comprised of an Economic Capital Assessment ("ECA"), derived from an approved Solvency II basis internal model, less any accumulated trading surpluses or plus any accumulated trading deficits, as calculated on a Solvency II basis.
(3) The Company's Irish operations are subject to the Solvency II regime, which requires insurance companies to hold assets that cover at least the best estimate of insurance liabilities, a risk margin, plus a risk-based Solvency Capital Requirement designed to protect against extreme stress events.
(4) Minimum statutory capital and surplus at December 31, 2025 for U.S. operating subsidiaries is determined with reference to the Company Action Level Risk-Based Capital requirements.

The statutory net income (loss) for the Company’s principal operating subsidiaries by regulatory jurisdiction was as follows:

Bermuda Operations

Hamilton Re is subject to the requirements of the Insurance Act 1978, amendments thereto and Related Regulations of Bermuda (the "Insurance Act"). As a Class 4 (re)insurer, Hamilton Re must maintain capital at the greater of their MSM and their ECR, which are established by reference to the Bermuda Solvency Capital Requirement ("BSCR") model. The Insurance Act also requires Hamilton Re to maintain certain measures of solvency and liquidity.

Independent of the Insurance Act, the BMA has also established a target capital level ("TCL") for Class 4 (re)insurers, equal to 120% of their ECR. The TCL serves as an early warning tool for the BMA and failure to maintain statutory capital at least equal to the TCL will likely result in increased regulatory oversight. Hamilton Re's actual capital and surplus levels exceed the TCL at December 31, 2025.

F-57

Hamilton Insurance Group, Ltd.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Hamilton Re's BSCR for the year ended December 31, 2025 must be filed with the BMA by April 30, 2026. As a result, the required statutory capital and surplus disclosed as of December 31, 2025 is based on the MSM. At December 31, 2025, the actual statutory capital and surplus of Hamilton Re was $2.5 billion and the MSM was $904.3 million.

Hamilton Re received approval from the BMA to treat its investment in TS Hamilton Fund as a "Relevant Asset" for the purpose of computing its "Liquidity Ratio" (under which relevant assets must be maintained at not less than 75% of relevant liabilities) in respect of 2025. Hamilton Re is in compliance with the Liquidity Ratio at December 31, 2025.

Under the Insurance Act, Hamilton Re is restricted as to the payment of dividends and/or distributions for amounts greater than 25% of the prior year’s statutory capital and surplus. In addition, before reducing its total statutory capital by 15% or more (as set out in its previous year's statutory financial statements), as a Class 4 Bermuda insurance subsidiary, Hamilton Re must apply to the BMA for permission to do so. For the year ended December 31, 2025, Hamilton Re had capacity to pay dividends of $542.0 million without prior approval under Bermuda law, of which $220.5 million of dividends were paid during the year. It is estimated that Hamilton Re will have capacity to pay dividends of $616.6 million in 2026.

United Kingdom Operations

A U.K. company’s ability to propose and pay dividends is dependent upon U.K. law and may require the approval of a local regulatory body where a minimum capital requirement applies.

As discussed in Note 15, Commitments and Contingencies, Lloyd’s bases the capital funding requirements of the Company's corporate members on their latest approved Economic Capital Assessments. As of December 31, 2025, actual levels of solvency, liquidity, and capital were in compliance with the Lloyd's requirements.

Following distributions received from Hamilton Syndicate 4000, profits arising in HCML are available for distribution subject to U.K. law. Profits arising in HMA, which is subject to Lloyds' oversight and regulation by both the Prudential Regulation Authority ("PRA") and the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA"), are available for distribution subject to U.K. law and the preservation of a minimum capital requirement calculated with reference to Lloyd's capital tests.

The PRA regulatory requirements impose no explicit restrictions on the U.K. subsidiaries' ability to pay a dividend, but the Company must notify the PRA 28 days prior to any proposed dividend payment. Dividends may only be distributed from profits available for distribution. It is estimated that Hamilton's U.K. subsidiaries will have capacity to pay dividends of $3.5 million in 2026.

Ireland Operations

HIDAC is regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland ("CBI") pursuant to the Insurance Acts 1909 to 2018 (as amended), the Central Bank Acts 1942 to 2018 and all statutory instruments relating to insurance made or adopted under the European Communities Acts 1972 to 2012, including the European Union (Insurance and Reinsurance) Regulations, 2015 (as amended) and the Solvency II regime. HIDAC is required to maintain the Minimum Capital Requirement ("MCR") and the Solvency Capital Requirement ("SCR") at all times. Capital requirements are calculated by reference to Solvency II definitions. If an entity falls below the MCR or SCR, the CBI is authorized to take action to restore the financial position of the subsidiary. HIDAC was at all times in compliance with these requirements for the year ended December 31, 2025.

The amount of dividends that HIDAC is permitted to distribute is restricted to accumulated realized profits that have not been capitalized or distributed, less accumulated realized losses that have not been written off. The solvency and capital requirements must still be met subsequent to any distribution. As at December 31, 2025, HIDAC did not have retained profits available for distribution.

United States Operations

The Company’s U.S. insurance subsidiary is registered in Delaware and subject to restrictions on statutory net income and statutory surplus as determined in accordance with the relevant statutory accounting requirements established by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, subject to state modifications thereof. They are also required to file annual statements with insurance regulatory authorities prepared in accordance with statutory accounting principles prescribed or permitted by such authorities. The U.S. insurance subsidiary is also generally required to maintain minimum levels of solvency and liquidity as determined by law and regulation, comply with regulatory capital requirements and licensing rules.
F-58

Hamilton Insurance Group, Ltd.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Delaware law provides that an insurance company which is a member of an insurance holding company system and is domiciled in the state shall not pay dividends without giving prior notice to the Insurance Commissioner of Delaware and may not pay dividends without the approval of the Insurance Commissioner if the value of the proposed dividend, together with all other dividends and distributions made in the preceding twelve months, exceeds the greater of (1) 10% of statutory surplus or (2) net income, not including realized capital gains, each as reported in the prior year’s statutory annual statement. In addition, no dividend may be paid in excess of unassigned earned surplus. As at December 31, 2025, the Company's U.S. insurance subsidiary did not have retained profits available for distribution.

18. Subsequent Events

Special Dividend

On February 18, 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a special dividend of $2.00 per common share outstanding, which will result in an aggregate payment of approximately $206.0 million. The dividend is payable on March 30, 2026, to common shareholders of record on March 6, 2026.

Share Repurchases

From January 1 to February 24, 2026, the Company repurchased 0.1 million Class B common shares at an aggregate cost of $1.9 million. As of February 24, 2026, $176.6 million remained available for repurchase under the Authorization.

Exhibit 10.3 HAMILTON INSURANCE GROUP, LTD. 2023 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN 1. Purpose. The purpose of the Hamilton Insurance Group, Ltd. 2023 Equity Incentive Plan is to provide a means through which the Company and its Affiliates may attract and retain key personnel and to provide a means whereby directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors (and prospective directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors) of the Company and its Affiliates can acquire and maintain an equity interest in the Company, or be paid incentive compensation, which may (but need not) be measured by reference to the value of Common Shares, thereby strengthening their commitment to the welfare of the Company and its Affiliates and aligning their interests with those of the Company’s stockholders. The Plan succeeds the Prior Plan for Awards granted on or after the Effective Date and no additional awards may be made under the Prior Plan on or after the Effective Date. The adoption and effectiveness of the Plan will not affect the terms or conditions of any awards granted under the Prior Plan prior to the Effective Date. 2. Definitions. The following definitions shall be applicable throughout the Plan. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning given to them in the Bye-laws of the Company: (a) “Affiliate” means (i) any person or entity that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Company and/or (ii) to the extent provided by the Committee, any person or entity in which the Company has a significant interest; provided, that, with respect to the award of any “stock right” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, such affiliate must qualify as a “service recipient” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and in applying Section 1563(a)(1), (2) and (3) of the Code for purposes of determining a controlled group of corporations under Section 414(b) of the Code and in applying Treasury Regulation Section 1.414(c)-2 for purposes of determining trades or businesses (whether or not incorporated) that are under common control for purposes of Section 414(c) of the Code, the language “at least 50 percent” is used instead of “at least 80 percent”; provided, further, that, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, it shall mean a “parent corporation” or a “subsidiary corporation” within the meaning of Section 424 of the Code. The term “control” (including, with correlative meaning, the terms “controlling,” “controlled by” and “under common control with”), as applied to any Person, means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such Person, whether through the ownership of voting or other securities, by contract or otherwise. (b) “Award” means, individually or collectively, any Incentive Stock Option, Nonqualified Stock Option, Stock Appreciation Right, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Unit, or Stock Bonus Award granted under the Plan.

3 was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then constituting the Incumbent Board (either by a specific vote or by approval of the proxy statement of the Company in which such individual is named as a nominee for director, without objection to such nomination) shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest (including, but not limited to, a consent solicitation) with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a person other than the Board; or (iii) the consummation of a merger, consolidation, share exchange, or similar form of corporate transaction involving the Company or any of its Affiliates that requires the approval of the Company’s stockholders (whether for such transaction, the issuance of securities in the transaction or otherwise) (a “Reorganization”), unless immediately following such Reorganization (A) more than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power of (1) the corporation resulting from such Reorganization (the “Surviving Company”) or (2) if applicable, the ultimate parent corporation that has, directly or indirectly, beneficial ownership of one hundred percent (100%) of the voting securities of the Surviving Company (the “Parent Company”), is represented by Company Voting Securities that were outstanding immediately prior to such Reorganization (or, if applicable, is represented by shares into which such Company Voting Securities were converted pursuant to such Reorganization), and such voting power among the holders thereof is in substantially the same proportion as the voting power of such Company Voting Securities among holders thereof immediately prior to such Reorganization, (B) no person, other than an employee benefit plan sponsored or maintained by the Surviving Company or the Parent Company (or its related trust), is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of fifty percent (50%) or more of the total voting power of the outstanding voting securities eligible to elect directors of the Parent Company, or if there is no Parent Company, the Surviving Company, and (C) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the Parent Company, or if there is no Parent Company, the Surviving Company, following the consummation of such Reorganization are members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the Board’s approval of the execution of the initial agreement providing for such Reorganization (any Reorganization which satisfies all of the criteria specified in clauses (A), (B), and (C) above shall be a “Non- Control Transaction”); or (iv) the sale or disposition, in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any “person” (as defined in Section 3(a)(9) of the Exchange Act) or to any two or more persons deemed to be one “person” (as used in Sections 13(d)(3) and 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) other than the Company’s Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur solely because any person acquires beneficial ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the Company Voting Securities as a result of an acquisition of Company Voting Securities by the Company that reduces the number of Company Voting Securities outstanding; provided, that if after such acquisition by the Company such person becomes the beneficial owner of additional Company Voting Securities that increases the percentage of outstanding Company Voting Securities beneficially owned by such person, a Change in Control shall then be deemed to occur, and (B) with respect to the payment of any amount that constitutes a deferral of compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code payable upon a Change in Control, a Change in Control shall not be


 
4 deemed to have occurred, unless the Change in Control constitutes a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company under Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) of the Code.

To the extent required to comply with the provisions of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act or the rules under the NYSE Listed Company Manual (if the Board is not acting as the Committee under the Plan), it is intended that each member of the Committee shall, at the time he or she takes any action with respect to an Award under the Plan, be an Eligible Director.

8 other determination and take any other action that the Committee deems necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan. (c) Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, all designations, determinations, interpretations, and other decisions under or with respect to the Plan or any Award Agreement shall be within the sole discretion of the Committee, may be made at any time and shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all persons or entities, including, without limitation, the Company, any Affiliate, any Participant, any holder or beneficiary of any Award, and any stockholder of the Company. (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan, the Board may, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, grant Awards and administer the Plan with respect to such Awards. In any such case, the Board shall have all the authority granted to the Committee under the Plan. (e) Notwithstanding anything herein or an Award Agreement to the contrary, all determinations made under the Plan shall be made consistent with the Bye-laws. 5. Grant of Awards; Shares Subject to the Plan. (a) The Committee may, from time to time, grant Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, and/or Stock Bonus Awards to one or more Eligible Persons. (b) Subject to Section 11 of the Plan, the total number of Common Shares reserved and available for Awards granted under the Plan shall equal the sum of (i) 8,561,440 Common Shares, and (ii) to the extent that an award outstanding under the Prior Plan as of the Effective Date is forfeited, cancelled, expires unexercised, is settled in cash or otherwise terminated without a delivery to the grantee of the full number of shares to which the award related, the number of shares that are undelivered, up to a maximum of 3,759,737 Common Shares. Unless the Committee acts, prior to the first day of a given fiscal year, to provide otherwise, the total number of Common Shares reserved and available for delivery in connection with Awards under the Plan will be increased on the first day of each fiscal year, for a period of not more than ten (10) years from the date the Plan was first approved by the stockholders of the Company, commencing on the first day of the second fiscal year following the Company’s fiscal year in which the Effective Date occurs and ending (and including) the first day of the fiscal year commencing in 2033, in an amount equal to the lesser of (A) two percent (2%) of the outstanding Common Shares on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, and (B) such number of Common Shares as is determined by the Committee. (c) No more than 8,561,440 Common Shares (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 11 hereof) reserved for issuance hereunder may be issued or transferred upon exercise or settlement of Incentive Stock Options. (d) Use of Common Shares to pay the required Exercise Price or tax obligations, or that are used or withheld to satisfy tax obligations of the Participant shall, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, not be available again for other Awards under the Plan. Other than with respect to Substitute Awards, Common Shares underlying Awards under this Plan that are


 
9 forfeited, are cancelled, expire unexercised, or are settled in cash are available again for Awards under the Plan. (e) Common Shares delivered by the Company in settlement of Awards may be authorized and unissued shares, shares held in the treasury of the Company, shares purchased on the open market or by private purchase, or a combination of the foregoing. (f) Awards may, in the sole discretion of the Committee, be granted under the Plan in assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding awards previously granted by an entity acquired by the Company or with which the Company combines (“Substitute Awards”). Except as may be required by reason of Section 422 of the Code, the number of Common Shares underlying any Substitute Awards shall not be counted against the aggregate number of Common Shares available for Awards under the Plan as contemplated by, as applicable, NYSE Listed Company Manual Section 303A.08 or other applicable stock exchange rules, and their respective successor rules and listing exchange promulgations. (g) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the maximum value of any Awards granted to a non-employee director of the Company in any one calendar year, taken together with any cash fees paid to such non-employee director during such calendar year in respect of the non-employee director’s services as a member of the Board during such year, shall not exceed $750,000 (calculating the value of any such Awards based on the grant date fair value of such Awards for financial reporting purposes). 6. Eligibility. Participation shall be limited to Eligible Persons who have entered into an Award Agreement or who have received written notification from the Committee, or from a person designated by the Committee, that they have been selected to participate in the Plan. 7. Options. (a) Generally. Each Option granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. Each Option so granted shall be subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 7, and to such other conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be reflected in the applicable Award Agreement. All Options granted under the Plan shall be Nonqualified Stock Options unless the applicable Award Agreement expressly states that the Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option. Incentive Stock Options shall be granted only to Eligible Persons who are employees of the Company and its Affiliates, and no Incentive Stock Option shall be granted to any Eligible Person who is ineligible to receive an Incentive Stock Option under the Code. No Option shall be treated as an Incentive Stock Option unless the Plan has been approved by the stockholders of the Company in a manner intended to comply with the stockholder approval requirements of Section 422(b)(1) of the Code, provided that any Option intended to be an Incentive Stock Option shall not fail to be effective solely on account of a failure to obtain such approval, but rather such Option shall be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option unless and until such approval is obtained. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the terms and conditions of such grant shall be subject to and comply with such rules as may be prescribed by Section 422 of the Code. If for any reason an Option intended to be an Incentive Stock Option (or any portion thereof) shall not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, then, to the extent of such nonqualification, such Option or portion thereof shall be regarded as a Nonqualified Stock Option appropriately granted under the Plan.


 
10 (b) Exercise Price. The exercise price (“Exercise Price”) per Common Share for each Option shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of such share determined as of the Date of Grant; provided, however, that, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an employee who, at the time of the grant of such Option, owns shares representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of shares of the Company or any Affiliate, the Exercise Price per share shall not be less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value per share on the Date of Grant and provided further that, notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Exercise Price shall not be less than the par value per Common Share. (c) Vesting and Expiration. Options shall vest and become exercisable in such manner and on such date or dates determined by the Committee and set forth in an Award Agreement, and shall expire after such period, not to exceed ten (10) years, as may be determined by the Committee (the “Option Period”); provided, however, that the Option Period shall not exceed five (5) years from the Date of Grant in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Participant who on the Date of Grant owns shares representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of shares of the Company or any Affiliate; provided, further, that, notwithstanding any vesting dates set by the Committee, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the exercisability of any Option, which acceleration shall not affect the terms and conditions of such Option other than with respect to exercisability; but in no event shall an Option granted to an employee who is a non-exempt employee for purposes of overtime pay under the U.S. Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 be exercisable earlier than six months after its date of grant. (d) Method of Exercise and Form of Payment. No Common Shares shall be delivered pursuant to any exercise of an Option until payment in full of the Exercise Price therefor is received by the Company and the Participant has paid to the Company an amount equal to any U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. income and employment taxes required to be withheld and has satisfied any other condition set forth in the applicable Award Agreement for exercise of such Option. Options that have become exercisable may be exercised by delivery of written or electronic notice of exercise to the Company in accordance with the terms of the Option accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price. The Exercise Price shall be payable (i) in cash or by check and; (ii) by such other method as the Committee may permit in accordance with applicable law, in its sole discretion, including without limitation: (A) in Common Shares or other property having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise at least equal to the Exercise Price or (B) if there is a public market for the Common Shares at such time, by means of a broker-assisted “cashless exercise” pursuant to which the Company is delivered a copy of irrevocable instructions to a stockbroker to sell the Common Shares otherwise deliverable upon the exercise of the Option and to deliver promptly to the Company an amount equal to the Exercise Price or (C) by a “net exercise” method whereby the Company withholds from the delivery of the Common Shares for which the Option was exercised that number of Common Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the aggregate Exercise Price for the Common Shares for which the Option was exercised. Any fractional Common Shares shall be settled in cash. (e) Notification upon Disqualifying Disposition of an Incentive Stock Option. Each Participant awarded an Incentive Stock Option under the Plan shall notify the Company in writing immediately after the date he or she makes a disqualifying disposition of any Common Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of such Incentive Stock Option. A disqualifying disposition is


 
11 any disposition (including, without limitation, any sale) of such Common Shares before the later of (i) two (2) years after the Date of Grant of the Incentive Stock Option or (ii) one (1) year after the date of exercise of the Incentive Stock Option. The Company may, if determined by the Committee and in accordance with procedures established by the Committee, retain possession of any Common Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option as agent for the applicable Participant until the end of the period described in the preceding sentence. (f) Compliance With Laws, etc. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall a Participant be permitted to exercise an Option in a manner that the Committee determines would violate the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, if applicable, or any other applicable law or the applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the Bermuda Monetary Authority or other similar regulatory authority or the applicable rules and regulations of any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the securities of the Company are listed or traded. 8. Stock Appreciation Rights. (a) Generally. Each SAR granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. Each SAR so granted shall be subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 8, and to such other conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be reflected in the applicable Award Agreement. Any Option granted under the Plan may include tandem SARs. The Committee also may award SARs to Eligible Persons independent of any Option. (b) Strike Price. The Strike Price per Common Share for each SAR shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of such share determined as of the Date of Grant; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Strike Price shall not be less than the par value per Common Share. (c) Vesting and Expiration. A SAR granted in connection with an Option shall become exercisable and shall expire according to the same vesting schedule and expiration provisions as the corresponding Option. A SAR granted independent of an Option shall vest and become exercisable and shall expire in such manner and on such date or dates determined by the Committee and shall expire after such period, not to exceed ten years, as may be determined by the Committee (the “SAR Period”); provided, however, that, notwithstanding any vesting dates set by the Committee, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the exercisability of any SAR, which acceleration shall not affect the terms and conditions of such SAR other than with respect to exercisability. (d) Method of Exercise. SARs that have become exercisable may be exercised by delivery of written or electronic notice of exercise to the Company in accordance with the terms of the Award, specifying the number of SARs to be exercised and the date on which such SARs were awarded. (e) Payment. Upon the exercise of a SAR, the Company shall pay to the Participant an amount equal to the number of shares subject to the SAR that are being exercised multiplied by the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of one (1) Common Share on the exercise date over the Strike Price, less an amount equal to any U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. income and


 
12 employment taxes to be withheld. The Company shall pay such amount in cash, in Common Shares valued at Fair Market Value, or any combination thereof, as determined by the Committee. Any fractional Common Share shall be settled in cash. 9. Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units. (a) Generally. Each grant of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. Each such grant shall be subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 9, and to such other conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be reflected in the applicable Award Agreement. (b) Restricted Accounts; Escrow or Similar Arrangement. (i) Upon the grant of Restricted Stock, a book entry in a restricted account shall be established in the Participant’s name and, if the Committee determines that the Restricted Stock shall be held by the Company or in escrow rather than held in such restricted account pending the release of the applicable restrictions, the Committee may require the Participant to additionally execute and deliver to the Company (A) an escrow agreement satisfactory to the Committee, if applicable, and (B) the appropriate share transfer form (endorsed in blank) with respect to the Restricted Stock covered by such agreement. If a Participant shall fail to execute an agreement evidencing an Award of Restricted Stock and, if applicable, an escrow agreement and transfer form (endorsed in blank) within the amount of time specified by the Committee, the Award shall be null and void. Subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 9 and the applicable Award Agreement, the Participant generally shall have the right to receive dividends, if applicable; provided, that, unless otherwise set forth in an Award Agreement, dividends that are attributable to any particular share of Restricted Stock shall be withheld by the Committee and shall be distributed to the Participant upon the release of restrictions on such share and, if such share is forfeited, the Participant shall have no right to such dividends. To the extent shares of Restricted Stock are forfeited, any share certificates issued to the Participant evidencing such shares shall be returned to the Company, and all rights of the Participant to such shares and as a stockholder with respect thereto shall terminate without further obligation on the part of the Company. (ii) Upon the grant of Restricted Stock Units, a book entry in a separate ledger restricted unit account shall be established in the Participant’s name. If a Participant shall fail to execute an agreement evidencing an Award of Restricted Stock Units within the amount of time specified by the Committee, the Award shall be null and void. Upon the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units pursuant to Section 9(d), such Restricted Stock Units shall no longer be credited to the restricted unit account. Unless otherwise set forth in an applicable Award Agreement, the Participant generally shall not have the right to receive dividends, if any, or dividend equivalents with respect to Restricted Stock Units prior to the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units; provided, that, if the grant of Restricted Stock Units includes a right to dividend equivalents and dividends are declared during the period that the Restricted Stock Units are outstanding, dividend equivalents that are attributable to any particular Restricted Stock Units shall be withheld by the Committee and shall be distributed to the Participant upon the release of the restrictions on such Restricted Stock Units and, if such Restricted Stock Units are forfeited, the Participant shall have no right to such dividend equivalents.


 
13 (c) Vesting; Acceleration of Lapse of Restrictions. The vesting terms applicable to Awards granted under this Section 9 shall be set forth in an Award Agreement. (d) Delivery of Restricted Stock and Settlement of Restricted Stock Units. (i) Upon the expiration of the Restricted Period with respect to any shares of Restricted Stock, the restrictions set forth in the applicable Award Agreement shall be of no further force or effect with respect to such shares, except as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. If an escrow arrangement is used, upon such expiration, the Company shall deliver to the Participant, or his or her beneficiary, without charge, the share certificate evidencing the shares of Restricted Stock that have not then been forfeited and with respect to which the Restricted Period has expired (rounded down to the nearest full share). Dividends, if any, that may have been withheld by the Committee and attributable to any particular share of Restricted Stock shall be distributed to the Participant in cash or, at the sole discretion of the Committee, in shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such dividends, upon the release of restrictions on such share and, if such share is forfeited, the Participant shall have no right to such dividends (except as otherwise set forth by the Committee in the applicable Award Agreement). (ii) Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in an Award Agreement, upon the expiration of the Restricted Period with respect to any outstanding Restricted Stock Units, the Company shall deliver to the Participant, or his or her beneficiary, without charge, one (1) Common Share for each such outstanding Restricted Stock Unit, save in the case of performance vesting Restricted Stock Units under which a Participant may be eligible to receive more than one (1) Common Share for each such outstanding performance vesting Restricted Stock Unit, depending on the level of performance attainment relative to objectives and targets established by the Committee; provided, however, that the Committee may, in its sole discretion, elect to (A) pay cash or part cash and part Common Shares in lieu of delivering only Common Shares in respect of such Restricted Stock Units or (B) defer the delivery of Common Shares (or cash or part Common Shares and part cash, as the case may be) beyond the expiration of the Restricted Period if such delivery would result in a violation of applicable law until such time as is no longer the case. If a cash payment is made in lieu of delivering Common Shares, the amount of such payment shall be equal to the Fair Market Value of the Common Shares as of the date on which the Restricted Period lapsed with respect to such Restricted Stock Units, less an amount equal to any U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. income and employment taxes required to be withheld. 10. Stock Bonus Awards. The Committee may issue unrestricted Common Shares, or other Awards denominated in Common Shares, under the Plan to Eligible Persons, either alone or in tandem with other awards, in such amounts as the Committee shall from time to time in its sole discretion determine. Each Stock Bonus Award granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. Each Stock Bonus Award so granted shall be subject to such conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be reflected in the applicable Award Agreement. 11. Changes in Capital Structure and Similar Events. Unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, in the event of (a) any extraordinary dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Common Shares, other securities or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, amalgamation, consolidation, split-up, split-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of Common Shares or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to acquire Common Shares or other securities of the Company,


 
14 or other similar corporate transaction or event (including, without limitation, a Change in Control) that affects the Common Shares, or (b) unusual or nonrecurring events (including, without limitation, a Change in Control) affecting the Company, any Affiliate, or the financial statements of the Company or any Affiliate, or changes in applicable rules, rulings, regulations or other requirements of any governmental body or securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system, accounting principles or law, such that in either case an adjustment is determined by the Committee in its sole discretion to be necessary or appropriate, then the Committee shall make any such adjustments in such manner as it may deem equitable, including without limitation any or all of the following: (i) adjusting any or all of (A) the number of Common Shares or other securities of the Company (or number and kind of other securities or other property, including cash) that may be delivered in respect of Awards or with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan and (B) the terms of any outstanding Award, including, without limitation, (1) the number of Common Shares or other securities of the Company (or number and kind of other securities or other property, including cash) subject to outstanding Awards or to which outstanding Awards relate, (2) the Exercise Price or Strike Price with respect to any Award or (3) any applicable performance measures; (ii) adjusting the performance criteria in respect of an Award; (iii) providing for a substitution or assumption of Awards, accelerating the exercisability of, lapse of restrictions on, or termination of, Awards or providing for a period of time for exercise prior to the occurrence of such event; and (iv) canceling any one or more outstanding Awards and causing to be paid to the holders thereof, in cash, Common Shares, other securities or other property, or any combination thereof, the value of such Awards, if any, as determined by the Committee (which if applicable may be based upon the price per Common Share received or to be received by other stockholders of the Company in such event), including without limitation, in the case of an outstanding Option or SAR, a cash payment in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value (as of a date specified by the Committee) of the Common Shares subject to such Option or SAR over the aggregate Exercise Price or Strike Price of such Option or SAR, respectively (it being understood that, in such event, Option or SAR having a per share Exercise Price or Strike Price equal to, or in excess of, the Fair Market Value of a Common Share subject thereto may be canceled and terminated without any consideration therefor); provided, however, that any adjustment in Incentive Stock Options under this Section 11 (other than any cancellation of Incentive Stock Options) shall be made only to the extent not constituting a “modification” within the meaning of Section 424(h)(3) of the Code, and any adjustments under this Section 11 shall be made in a manner that does not adversely affect the exemption provided pursuant to Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, to the extent applicable. Any adjustment made by the Company hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes. 12. Effect of Change in Control. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee or evidenced in an Award Agreement, the provisions of this Section 12 shall apply, as applicable:


 
15 (a) With respect to each outstanding Award that is assumed or substituted by the acquiring entity or ultimate parent in connection with a Change in Control and in the event of a termination of a Participant’s employment or service, including termination with Good Reason, (in any case, other than for Cause) within a period of twelve months commencing on the date of the Change in Control, on the date of such termination (i) such Award shall become fully vested and, if applicable, immediately exercisable, (ii) the restrictions, payment conditions and forfeiture conditions applicable to any such Award granted shall lapse, and (iii) all incomplete performance periods in effect on the date of a Change in Control shall end on the date of such Change in Control with all applicable performance conditions being deemed to have been achieved based on the Participant’s estimated performance but, in any event, not less than target performance (as reduced pro-rata to reflect the portion of the year worked by the Participant prior to termination of their employment). (b) In the event of a Change in Control, in connection with which the Awards are not assumed or substituted by the acquiring entity or ultimate parent, the Committee may provide, in its sole discretion, for the cancellation of any portion of the Awards that remain outstanding as of the date of the Change in Control in exchange for payment in cash or other property, and in the same form as the consideration paid in the transaction resulting in the Change in Control, equal to (i) the excess (if any) of the per share transaction consideration over the Exercise Price or Strike Price multiplied by the number of Common Shares underlying such Option or SAR, respectively, and (ii) with respect to an Award other than an Option or SAR, the per share transaction consideration, multiplied by the number of any Common Shares subject to such Award. (c) For purposes of this Section 12, an Award shall be considered assumed or substituted by the acquiring entity or ultimate parent if (i) the Award remains subject to substantially similar terms and conditions that were applicable to the Award immediately prior to the Change in Control except that the Award instead confers the right to receive common stock of the acquiring entity or in the case of an amalgamation, the amalgamated company or its parent and (ii) immediately following the Change in Control, the aggregate economic value of the Award is preserved. By way of example, without limitation, for this purpose the economic value shall mean (A) with respect to an Option, the excess (if any) of the per share transaction consideration over the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Common Shares underlying such Option, and (B) with respect to a Restricted Stock Unit, the per share transaction consideration, multiplied by the number of any Common Shares subject to such Restricted Stock Unit. 13. Amendments and Termination. (a) Amendment and Termination of the Plan. The Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof at any time; provided, that no such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuation or termination shall be made without stockholder approval if such approval is necessary to comply with any tax or regulatory requirement applicable to the Plan (including, without limitation, as necessary to comply with any rules or requirements of any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the Common Shares may be listed or quoted); provided, further, that any such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance or termination that would materially and adversely affect the rights of any Participant or any holder or beneficiary of any Award theretofore granted shall not to that


 
16 extent be effective without the consent of the affected Participant, holder or beneficiary, except as provided in Section 14(i). (b) Amendment of Award Agreements. The Committee may, to the extent consistent with the terms of any applicable Award Agreement, waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or alter, suspend, discontinue, cancel or terminate, any Award theretofore granted or the associated Award Agreement, prospectively or retroactively; provided that any such waiver, amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance, cancellation or termination that would materially and adversely affect the rights of any Participant with respect to any Award theretofore granted shall not to that extent be effective without the consent of the affected Participant; provided, further, that the Committee may not take any action without stockholder approval to the extent that stockholder is necessary to comply with any applicable tax or regulatory requirement. (c) No Repricing of Awards Without Stockholder Approval. Notwithstanding Sections 13(a) or 13(b) above, or any other provision of the Plan, the repricing of Awards shall not be permitted without stockholder approval. For this purpose, a “repricing” means any of the following (or any other action that has the same effect as any of the following): (i) changing the terms of an Award to lower its exercise or base price (other than on account of capital adjustments resulting from share splits, etc., as described in Section 11 hereof), (ii) any other action that is treated as a repricing under GAAP, and (iii) repurchasing for cash or canceling an Award in exchange for another Award at a time when its exercise or base price is greater than the Fair Market Value of the underlying Stock, unless the cancellation and exchange occurs in connection with an event set forth in Section 11 hereof. 14. General. (a) Award Agreements. Each Award under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement, which shall be delivered to the Participant and shall specify the terms and conditions of the Award and any rules applicable thereto, including without limitation, the effect on such Award of the termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service with the Company or its Affiliates, or of such other events as may be determined by the Committee. (b) Non-Transferability. Each Award shall be exercisable only by a Participant during the Participant’s lifetime, or, if permissible under applicable law, by the Participant’s legal guardian or representative. No Award may be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by a Participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or an Affiliate; provided that the designation of a beneficiary shall not constitute an assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance. (c) Clawback/Recoupment Policy. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, all Awards granted under the Plan shall be and remain subject to any incentive compensation clawback or recoupment policy currently in effect or as may be adopted by the Board (or a committee or subcommittee of the Board) and, in each case, as may be amended from time to time. No such policy adoption or amendment shall in any event require the prior consent of any Participant. No recovery of compensation under such a clawback policy will be an event


 
17 giving rise to a right to resign for Good Reason or “constructive termination” (or similar term) under the Plan or any agreement with the Company or any of its Affiliates. In the event that an Award is subject to more than one such policy, the policy with the most restrictive clawback or recoupment provisions shall govern such Award, subject to applicable law. (d) Data Privacy. As a condition of receipt of any Award, each Participant explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use, and transfer, in electronic or other form, of personal data as described in this Section 14(d) by and among, as applicable, the Company and its Affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering, and managing the Plan and Awards and the Participant’s participation in the Plan. In furtherance of such implementation, administration, and management, the Company and its Affiliates may hold certain personal information about a Participant, including, but not limited to, the Participant’s name, home address, telephone number, date of birth, social security or insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title(s), information regarding any securities of the Company or any of its Affiliates, and details of all Awards (the “Data”). In addition to transferring the Data amongst themselves as necessary for the purpose of implementation, administration, and management of the Plan and Awards and the Participant’s participation in the Plan, the Company and its Affiliates may each transfer the Data to any third parties assisting the Company in the implementation, administration, and management of the Plan and Awards and the Participant’s participation in the Plan. Recipients of the Data may be located in the Participant’s country or elsewhere, and the Participant’s country and any given recipient’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections. By accepting an Award, each Participant authorizes such recipients to receive, possess, use, retain, and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of assisting the Company in the implementation, administration, and management of the Plan and Awards and the Participant’s participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required to a broker or other third party with whom the Company or the Participant may elect to deposit any Common Shares. The Data related to a Participant will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer, and manage the Plan and Awards and the Participant’s participation in the Plan. A Participant may, at any time, view the Data held by the Company with respect to such Participant, request additional information about the storage and processing of the Data with respect to such Participant, recommend any necessary corrections to the Data with respect to the Participant, or refuse or withdraw the consents herein in writing, in any case without cost, by contacting his or her local human resources representative. The Company may cancel the Participant’s eligibility to participate in the Plan, and in the Committee’s discretion, the Participant may forfeit any outstanding Awards if the Participant refuses or withdraws the consents described herein. For more information on the consequences of refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, Participants may contact their local human resources representative. (e) Tax Withholding. (i) A Participant shall be required to pay to the Company or any Affiliate, and the Company or any Affiliate shall have the right and is hereby authorized to withhold, from any cash, Common Shares, other securities or other property deliverable under any Award or from any compensation or other amounts owing to a Participant, the amount (in cash, Common Shares, other securities or other property) of any withholding taxes or other amounts in respect of an Award, its exercise, or any payment or transfer under an Award or under the Plan and to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Committee or the Company to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such withholding and taxes.


 
18 (ii) Without limiting the generality of clause (i) above, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, permit a Participant to satisfy, in whole or in part, the foregoing withholding liability by (A) the delivery of Common Shares owned by the Participant having a Fair Market Value equal to such withholding liability or (B) having the Company withhold from the number of Common Shares otherwise issuable or deliverable pursuant to the exercise or settlement of the Award or to arrange a mandatory “sell to cover” on the Participant’s behalf (without further authorization) a number of shares with a Fair Market Value equal to such withholding liability (but no more than the maximum required statutory withholding liability in the Participant’s applicable jurisdictions), but in no event will the Company withhold Common Shares or “sell to cover” if such withholding would result in adverse accounting or compliance consequences to the Company. The maximum tax-related obligations are based on the applicable rates of the relevant tax authorities (for example, federal, state and local), including the Participant’s share of payroll or similar taxes, as provided in the tax law, regulations or the authority’s administrative practices, not to exceed the highest statutory rate in that jurisdiction. Any elections to have Common Shares withheld or sold for this purpose will be made in accordance with the requirements established by the Committee for such elections and be in writing in a form acceptable to the Committee. (f) No Claim to Awards; No Rights to Continued Employment; Waiver. No employee of the Company or an Affiliate, or other person, shall have any claim or right to be granted an Award under the Plan or, having been selected for the grant of an Award, to be selected for a grant of any other Award. There is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Participants or holders or beneficiaries of Awards. The terms and conditions of Awards and the Committee’s determinations and interpretations with respect thereto need not be the same with respect to each Participant and may be made selectively among Participants, whether or not such Participants are similarly situated. Neither the Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed as giving any Participant any right to be retained in the Continuous Service of the Company or an Affiliate, nor shall it be construed as giving any Participant any rights to continued service on the Board. The Company or any of its Affiliates may at any time dismiss a Participant from employment or discontinue any consulting or other relationship, free from any liability or any claim under the Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or any Award Agreement. By accepting an Award under the Plan, a Participant shall thereby be deemed to have waived any claim to continued exercise or vesting of an Award or to damages or severance entitlement related to non-continuation of the Award beyond the period provided under the Plan or any Award Agreement, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in any written employment contract or other agreement between the Company and its Affiliates and the Participant, whether any such agreement is executed before, on or after the Date of Grant. (g) International Participants. With respect to Participants who reside or work outside of Bermuda, the Committee may in its sole discretion amend the terms of the Plan or outstanding Awards with respect to such Participants (or adopt a sub-plan) in order to conform such terms with the requirements of local law or to obtain more favorable tax or other treatment for a Participant, the Company or its Affiliates. (h) Death, Designation and Change of Beneficiary. Upon a Participant’s death, and as set forth in an Award Agreement, Awards (or any part thereof) granted to such Participant shall immediately become fully vested and exercisable as of the date of death. Each Participant may file with the Committee a written designation of one or more persons as the beneficiary(ies) who shall


 
19 be entitled to receive the amounts payable with respect to an Award, if any, due under the Plan upon his or her death. A Participant may, from time to time, revoke or change his or her beneficiary designation without the consent of any prior beneficiary by filing a new designation with the Committee. The last such designation received by the Committee shall be controlling; provided, however, that no designation, or change or revocation thereof, shall be effective unless received by the Committee prior to the Participant’s death, and in no event shall it be effective as of a date prior to such receipt. If no beneficiary designation is filed by a Participant, the beneficiary shall be deemed to be his or her spouse or, if the Participant is unmarried at the time of death, his or her estate. (i) Disability. Upon a Participant’s Disability, and as set forth in an Award Agreement, Awards (or any part thereof) granted to such Participant shall immediately become fully vested and exercisable by the Participant (or their legal representative) as of the date of Disability. The Committee shall determine whether a Participant has incurred a Disability and the effective date thereof, and may require such medical or other evidence as it deems necessary or advisable to make such determination. (j) Termination of Employment/Service; Change in Time Commitment. Unless determined otherwise by the Committee at any point following such event: (i) neither a temporary absence from employment or service due to illness, vacation or leave of absence nor a transfer from employment or service with the Company to employment or service with an Affiliate (or vice-versa) shall be considered a termination of Continuous Service with the Company or an Affiliate; and (ii) if a Participant’s employment with the Company and its Affiliates terminates, but such Participant continues to provide Continuous Service to the Company and its Affiliates in a non-employee capacity (or vice-versa), such change in status shall not be considered a cessation of Continuous Service with the Company or an Affiliate. In the event a Participant’s regular level of time commitment in the performance of his or her services for the Company or any of its Affiliates is reduced (for example, and without limitation, if the Participant is an employee of the Company and the employee has a change in status from a full-time employee to a part-time employee) after the date of grant of any Award to the Participant, the Committee has the right in its sole discretion to (A) make a corresponding reduction in the number of Common Shares subject to any portion of such Award that is scheduled to vest or become payable after the date of such change in time commitment, and (B) in lieu of or in combination with such a reduction, extend the vesting or payment schedule applicable to such Award. In the event of any such reduction, the Participant will have no right with respect to any portion of the Award that is so reduced or extended. (k) Treatment of Awards Upon a Retirement. Upon a Participant’s retirement, and as determined by the Committee and set forth in an Award Agreement, Awards (or any part thereof) granted to such Participant may accelerate, continue to vest, provide for an extended period of time in which to exercise an Award upon a Participant’s termination of employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate or contain any other terms and conditions as the Committee deems appropriate; provided, however, that in no event shall a Participant be eligible for retirement benefits for purposes of any Award prior to the completion of at least five (5) complete years of Continuous Service.


 
20 (l) No Rights as a Stockholder. Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan or any Award Agreement, no person shall be entitled to the privileges of ownership in respect of Common Shares that are subject to Awards hereunder until such shares have been issued or delivered to that person, such person’s name is entered in the register of stockholders and such person satisfies all conditions hereunder, in the Bye-laws and in the Award Agreement. (m) Government and Other Regulations. The obligation of the Company to settle Awards in Common Shares or other consideration shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by governmental agencies as may be required. The Committee shall have the authority to provide that all certificates for Common Shares or other securities of the Company or any Affiliate delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the Plan, the applicable Award Agreement, applicable securities laws, or the rules, regulations and requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or other similar regulatory authority, any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system upon which such shares or other securities are then listed or quoted and any other applicable U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. laws, and, without limiting the generality of Section 9 of the Plan, the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, the Committee reserves the right to add any additional terms or provisions to any Award granted under the Plan that it in its sole discretion deems necessary or advisable in order that such Award complies with the legal requirements of any governmental entity to whose jurisdiction the Award is subject. (n) Payments to Persons Other Than Participants. If the Committee shall find that any person to whom any amount is payable under the Plan is unable to care for his or her affairs because of illness or accident, or is a minor, or has died, then any payment due to such person or his or her estate (unless a prior claim therefor has been made by a duly appointed legal representative) may, if the Committee so directs the Company, be paid to his or her spouse, child, relative, an institution maintaining or having custody of such person, or any other person deemed by the Committee to be a proper recipient on behalf of such person otherwise entitled to payment. Any such payment shall be a complete discharge of the liability of the Committee and the Company therefor. (o) Non-Exclusivity of the Plan. Neither the adoption of this Plan by the Board nor the submission of this Plan to the stockholders of the Company for approval, to the extent applicable, shall be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board to adopt such other incentive arrangements as it may deem desirable, including, without limitation, the granting of stock options or other equity-based awards otherwise than under this Plan, and such arrangements may be either applicable generally or only in specific cases. (p) No Trust or Fund Created. Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company or any Affiliate, on the one hand, and a Participant or other person or entity, on the other hand. No provision of the Plan or any Award shall require the Company, for the purpose of satisfying any obligations under the Plan, to purchase assets or place any assets in a trust or other entity to which contributions are made or otherwise to segregate any assets, nor shall the Company maintain separate bank accounts, books, records or other evidence of the existence of a segregated or separately maintained or administered fund for such purposes. Participants shall have no rights


 
21 under the Plan other than as unsecured general creditors of the Company, except that insofar as they may have become entitled to payment of additional compensation by performance of Continuous Service, they shall have the same rights as other employees under general law. (q) No Liability of Committee Members. Neither any member of the Committee nor any of the Committee’s permitted delegates shall be liable personally by reason of any contract or other instrument executed by such member or on his or her behalf in his or her capacity as a member of the Committee or for any mistake of judgment made in good faith, and the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each member of the Committee and each other employee, officer, or director of the Company to whom any duty or power relating to the administration or interpretation of the Plan may be allocated or delegated, against all costs and expenses (including counsel fees) and liabilities (including sums paid in settlement of a claim) arising out of any act or omission to act in connection with the Plan, unless arising out of such Person’s own fraud or willful misconduct; provided, however, that approval of the Board shall be required for the payment of any amount in settlement of a claim against any such Person. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such Persons may be entitled under the Company’s certificate or articles of incorporation or Bye-laws, each as may be amended from time to time, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless. (r) Reliance on Reports. Each member of the Committee and each member of the Board shall be fully justified in acting or failing to act, as the case may be, and shall not be liable for having so acted or failed to act in good faith, in reliance upon any report made by the independent public accountant of the Company and its Affiliates and/or any other information furnished in connection with the Plan by any agent of the Company or the Committee or the Board, other than himself. (s) Relationship to Other Benefits. No payment under the Plan shall be taken into account in determining any benefits under any pension, retirement, profit sharing, group insurance or other benefit plan of the Company, including as it may relate to death of a Participant, except as otherwise specifically provided in such other plan. (t) Governing Law. The Plan, each Award Agreement hereunder and each related agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Bermuda without reference to the principles of conflict of law thereof and the Company and any Participant accepting an Award hereunder irrevocably agree that any dispute or claim which may arise out of or in connection with the Plan, or Award Agreement, shall be referred to and determined by arbitration in Bermuda by sole arbitrator appointed by agreement between the parties and in default of agreement, then the arbitrator is to be appointed by the Appointments’ Committee of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators Bermuda Branch. The courts of Bermuda shall have exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine any application for relief in aid of an arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 14(s) (including any application for interim or conservatory measures prior to the appointment of an arbitrator) except that the Company and any Participant may bring proceedings before any court or other judicial authority for the purposes of enforcing any award rendered by the arbitrator hereunder.


 
22 (u) Severability. If any provision of the Plan or any Award or Award Agreement is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any person or entity or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to the applicable laws, or if it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be construed or deemed stricken as to such jurisdiction, person or entity or Award and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect. (v) Obligations Binding on Successors. The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be binding upon any successor corporation or organization resulting from the merger, amalgamation, consolidation or other reorganization of the Company, or upon any successor corporation or organization succeeding to substantially all of the assets and business of the Company. (w) Expenses; Gender; Titles and Headings. The expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company and its Affiliates. Masculine pronouns and other words of masculine gender shall refer to both men and women. The titles and headings of the sections in the Plan are for convenience of reference only, and in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings shall control. (x) Other Agreements. Notwithstanding the above, the Committee may require, as a condition to the grant of and/or the receipt of Common Shares under an Award, that the Participant execute lock-up, shareholder or other agreements, as it may reasonably determine in its sole and absolute discretion. (y) Payments. Participants shall be required to pay, to the extent required by applicable law, any amounts required to receive Common Shares under any Award made under the Plan. (z) Section 409A/457A. The intent of the Company is that payments and benefits under the Plan comply with Section 409A and 457A of the Code to the extent subject thereto, and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, the Plan shall be interpreted and be administered to be in compliance therewith. Any payments described in the Plan that are due within the “short- term deferral period” as defined in Section 409A of the Code shall not be treated as deferred compensation unless applicable law requires otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, no payment or distribution under this Plan that constitutes an item of deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code and becomes payable by reason of a Participant’s termination of employment or service with the Company will be made to such Participant until such Participant’s termination of employment or service constitutes a “separation from service” (as defined in Section 409A of the Code). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, to the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A of the Code, amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided during the six (6) month period immediately following the Participant’s termination of employment shall instead be paid on the first business day after the date that is six (6) months following the Participant’s separation from service (or upon the Participant’s death, if earlier). In addition, for purposes of the Plan, each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided to the Participant pursuant to the Plan that constitutes deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of


 
23 the Code, shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. The Company makes no representation that any or all of the payments or benefits described in this Plan will be exempt from or comply with Section 409A or 457A of the Code and makes no undertaking to preclude Section 409A or 457A of the Code from applying to any such payment. The Participant shall be solely responsible for the payment of any taxes and penalties incurred under Section 409A and 457A. * * *

(the “Company”) and [_____] (the “Participant”) pursuant to the Hamilton Insurance Group, Ltd. 2023 Equity Incentive Plan, as may be amended from time to time (the “Plan”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan. RECITALS: WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Plan, pursuant to which awards of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) with respect to Class B common shares, par value $0.01 (“Common Shares”), may be granted; and WHEREAS, the Committee has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company to grant the award of RSUs provided for herein to the Participant in recognition of the Participant’s services to the Company, such grant to be subject to the terms set forth herein. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 1. Grant of Restricted Stock Unit Award. Pursuant to the Plan, the Company hereby issues to the Participant on the Date of Grant a Restricted Stock Unit Award consisting of, in the aggregate, [__] RSUs (the “RSU Award”). Each RSU represents an unsecured promise of the Company to deliver to the Participant one Common Share on the Settlement Date (as defined below), subject to the terms and conditions hereof. The RSU Award shall vest and be settled in accordance with Section 3 hereof. 2. Incorporation by Reference; Interpretation. The provisions of the Plan are hereby incorporated herein by reference. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. By signing this Agreement, the Participant acknowledges that the Participant has received a copy of the Plan and the Plan prospectus and has had an opportunity to review the Plan and prospectus and agrees to be bound by all of the terms and provisions of the Plan. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the terms and provisions of the Plan and the provisions of this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern and control. All determinations, interpretations, and other decisions under or with respect to this Agreement shall be within the sole discretion of the Committee, may be made at any time and shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all persons or entities, including, without limitation, the Company, any Affiliate, any Participant, any holder or beneficiary of any Award, and any shareholder of the Company. 3. Vesting and Settlement.


 
(a) Vesting. The RSU Award shall vest [__] (each, a “Vesting Date”), subject to the Participant’s Continuous Service with the Company through the applicable Vesting Date, except as otherwise provided herein. (b) Retirement. In the event that the Participant’s Continuous Service with the Company and its Affiliates is terminated due to retirement and the Participant timely executes and complies with the terms of a restrictive covenant agreement in a form satisfactory to the Company, the RSUs shall continue to vest in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in Section 3(a) above. For this purposes (i) “retirement” means the Participant’s voluntary termination of employment on or after the date that the Participant has completed five (5) years of service and (ii) “years of service” means years of Continuous Service with the Company or its Affiliates., (c) Termination of Employment without Cause or for Good Reason on or after a Change in Control. In the event that (i) the Participant’s employment is terminated by the Company or its successor without Cause (as defined in the Participant’s employment agreement with the Company (the “Employment Agreement”)) or (ii) by the Participant with Good Reason (as defined in the Employment Agreement), in each case within a period of twelve (12) months commencing on the date of a Change in Control (the date of such termination, the “Termination Date”), any RSUs that remain unvested as of the Termination Date shall become fully vested. (d) Settlement. The Company shall issue to the Participant one Common Share for each vested RSU (the “RSU Shares”) as soon as practicable following the Vesting Date or, if applicable, the Termination Date (the “Settlement Date”). The Common Shares issued in respect of the vested RSUs may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee shall determine. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Settlement Date does not occur (i) during an “open window period” applicable to the Participant, (ii) on a date when the Participant is permitted to sell Common Shares pursuant to a written plan that meets the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, as determined by the Company in accordance with the Company’s theneffective policy on trading in Company securities (the “Policy”), or (iii) on a date when the Participant is otherwise permitted to sell Common Shares on an established stock exchange or stock market, then such Common Shares will not be delivered on such Settlement Date and will instead be delivered on the first business day of the next occurring “open window” period applicable to the Participant pursuant to such Policy (regardless of whether the Participant’s Continuous Service has terminated for any reason at such time) or the next business day when the Participant is not prohibited from selling Common Shares on the open market, but in no event later than the later of (x) December 31st of the calendar year in which the Settlement Date occurs (that is, the last day of the Participant’s taxable year in which the Settlement Date occurs), or (y) to the extent permitted by Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) without penalty, the fifteenth (15th) day of the third calendar month of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Settlement Date occurs. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, each vested RSU shall be settled only in Common Shares, not cash. (e) Forfeiture. Except as provided in this Agreement or the Plan, any unvested RSUs shall be forfeited without consideration upon the termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service for any reason prior to the applicable Vesting Date.


 
4. Tax Withholding. In the event that the Company determines that tax withholding is required with respect to the Participant, the Participant shall be required to pay to the Company, and the Company shall have the right to deduct from any compensation paid to the Participant pursuant to the Plan, the amount of any required withholding taxes in respect of the RSU Award and to take such other action as the Committee deems necessary to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such withholding and taxes. For the avoidance of doubt, no RSU Shares shall be issued if the Participant has not fully satisfied any withholding obligations. The Committee may permit the Participant to satisfy the withholding liability in its discretion: (i) in cash, (ii) by having the Company withhold from the number of Common Shares otherwise issuable or deliverable pursuant to the settlement of the RSU Award a number of Common Shares with a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum withholding obligation, (iii) by delivering shares of Common Shares owned by the Participant unless such delivery would result in adverse accounting consequences for the Company, or (iv) by a combination of any such methods. For purposes hereof, Common Shares shall be valued at Fair Market Value. 5. Rights as a Shareholder. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that, with respect to each RSU, the Participant has no voting or other rights with respect to the underlying Common Shares unless and until such RSU is settled in Common Shares pursuant to Section 3 hereof. 6. Dividend Equivalents. If the Company pays a cash dividend on its outstanding Common Shares for which the Record Date (for purposes of this Agreement, the “Record Date” is the date on which shareholders of record are determined for purposes of paying the cash dividend on Common Shares) occurs after the Date of Grant but prior to the Settlement Date, the Participant shall receive a lump sum cash payment equal to the aggregate amount of the cash dividends paid by the Company on a single Common Share multiplied by the number of RSUs remaining unvested under this Agreement as of the Record Date (the “Dividend Equivalents”); provided, that, the Dividend Equivalents shall not be paid at the time dividends are paid to the Company’s shareholders but rather shall be accumulated and paid on the applicable Settlement Date, if any, with respect to any RSU Shares that are issued on such Settlement Date; provided, further, that no Dividend Equivalents shall be payable with respect to any RSUs that do not vest or are not settled and are forfeited pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and any Dividend Equivalents that have accumulated prior to forfeiture shall be forfeited upon the forfeiture of the RSUs to which such Dividend Equivalents relate. 7. Compliance with Laws and Regulations. The issuance and transfer of Common Shares shall not be permitted if the Committee determines that such issuance or transfer would violate (i) applicable law, (ii) the applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the Bermuda Monetary Authority, or similar regulatory authority or (iii) the applicable rules and regulations of any securities exchange or inter dealer quotation system on which the securities of the Company or any Affiliates are listed or traded. To the extent issued, any Common Shares (or certificates therefor) shall contain a legend, in the form as the Committee determines in its sole and absolute discretion, which describes the restrictions set forth herein. 8. Clawback Policy; Share Ownership Guidelines, Etc. The RSUs (and any compensation paid or Common Shares issued in respect of the RSUs) are subject to (i) any share ownership guidelines to which the Participant may be subject, (ii) any insider trading policy


 
adopted by the Company and any applicable law regulating trading by employees, and (iii) recoupment in accordance with the Company’s clawback policy, if applicable, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and any implementing regulations thereunder, any other clawback policy adopted by the Company and any compensation recovery policy otherwise required by applicable law. 9. Binding Effect. Subject to Section 19 hereof, this Agreement shall be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators and successors of the parties hereto 10. No Right to Continued Service. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed by implication or otherwise to impose any limitation on any right of the Company or its Affiliates to terminate the Participant’s Continuous Service at any time. 11. Notice. All notices and other communications hereunder must be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered by hand delivery, facsimile (with confirmation of transmission), or overnight courier, in each case addressed as follows: If to the Company: Hamilton Insurance Group, Ltd.

Beneficiary. The Participant may file with the Committee a written designation of a beneficiary on such form as may be prescribed by the Committee and may, from time to time, amend or revoke such designation. If no designated beneficiary survives the Participant, the executor or administrator of the Participant’s estate shall be deemed to be the Participant’s beneficiary. 13. Successors. Subject to Section 19 hereof, the terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company, its successors and assigns, and on the Participant and the beneficiaries, executors and administrators, heirs and successors of the Participant.


 
14. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of Bermuda without regard to its conflict of law principles. The parties to this Agreement hereby irrevocably agree that any dispute or claim which may arise out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be referred to and determined by arbitration in Bermuda by the sole arbitrator appointed by agreement between the parties and in default of agreement, then the arbitrator is to be appointed by the Appointments’ Committee of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators Bermuda Branch. The courts of Bermuda shall have exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine any application for relief in aid of an arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 14 (including any application for interim or conservatory measures prior to the appointment of an arbitrator) except that either party may bring proceedings before any court or other judicial authority for the purposes of enforcing any award rendered by the arbitrator hereunder. 15. Severability. Every provision of this Agreement is intended to be severable and any illegal or invalid term shall not affect the validity or legality of the remaining terms. 16. Headings. The headings of the Sections hereof are provided for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation of construction and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement. 17. Signature in Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. 18. Other Agreements. As a condition to the grant and vesting of the RSU Award hereunder, the Participant agrees to execute such other agreements as the Committee may require in its reasonable discretion. 19. Non-Transferability. Except as provided by the Plan or by the Committee, this Award is not transferable by the Participant otherwise than to a designated beneficiary upon death or by will or the laws of descent and distribution. No purported assignment or transfer of this Award, or of the rights represented thereby, whether voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise (except to a designated beneficiary, upon death, by will or the laws of descent and distribution as set forth above), shall vest in the purported assignee or transferee any interest or right herein or otherwise with respect to the RSU Award whatsoever, but immediately upon such assignment or transfer this Award shall terminate and become of no further effect. 20. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the Plan) represents the entire agreement of the parties with regard to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior understandings of the parties, whether written or oral. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Award is subject to the Company’s Bye-Laws. 21. Section 409A/457A. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement is intended to be interpreted and applied so that the payments and benefits set forth herein either shall either be exempt from the requirements of Code Sections 409A and 457A, or shall comply with the requirements of Code Sections 409A and 457A, and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be exempt from or in compliance with Code Sections 409A and 457A.

Regs. Section 1.409A-1, shall be delayed and paid or provided on the earlier of (i) the date which is six (6) months after the Participant’s separation from service (as such term is defined in Code Section 409A and the regulations and other published guidance thereunder) for any reason other than death, and (ii) the date of the Participant’s death. None of the Company, its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, or agents guarantees that this Agreement complies with, or is exempt from, the requirements of Code Section 409A or 457A and none of the foregoing shall have any liability for the failure of this Agreement to comply with, or be exempt from, such requirements. 22. Taxes. The tax consequences of participation in the Plan are uncertain, and the Participant could be subject to income or other taxes. Participants in the Plan are urged to consult with their own tax advisors regarding the income and other tax consequences associated with their participation in the Plan, and nothing herein or in the Plan shall constitute tax advice for any purpose. The Company makes no warranties or representations whatsoever to the Participant regarding the tax consequences of the RSU Award or the receipt of RSU Shares with respect thereto. The Participant shall be solely responsible for any taxes in respect of the RSU Award. [signature page follows]

During the Employment Term and subject to satisfaction of applicable eligibility criteria, Executive shall be entitled to participate in the employee benefit plans and insurance programs of the Company that it sponsors from time to time for its employees generally. Nothing herein shall be deemed to prohibit the Company from amending or terminating any such plan or program in its sole and absolute discretion.

(i) Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 8(b) or Section 8(c)(ii), upon any termination of Executive’s employment hereunder, Executive shall not be entitled to any termination payments or other further compensation or benefits, unless such amounts are required by applicable law or are otherwise agreed in a separate agreement with the Executive.

(iii) For the avoidance of doubt, any unreimbursed expenses incurred pursuant to Section 5 hereof prior to the termination of Executive’s employment hereunder shall be reimbursed in accordance with the Company’s policy with respect to expense reimbursement. 8. Restrictive Covenants. (a) Acknowledgment. Executive acknowledges and agrees that (i) the business of the Group Companies is highly competitive; (ii) the skills and knowledge of the Group Companies’ workforce constitute trade secrets and confidential information; (iii) she will be exposed to, will have access to, and will develop on behalf of the Group Companies, trade secrets and confidential information during her employment; (iv) such trade secrets and confidential information are of vital importance to the success of the Group Companies; (v) the disclosure or improper use of any such information would place the Group Companies at a serious competitive disadvantage and could do serious damage, financial and otherwise, to the Group Companies; (vi) Executive will develop relationships with customers, clients or prospective customers or clients of the Group Companies at the time and expense of the Group Companies; (vii) by Executive’s training, experience and expertise, Executive’s services to the Group Companies will be extraordinary, special and unique; (viii) Executive’s experience and capabilities are such that the provisions contained in this Agreement will not prevent Executive from earning a livelihood; (ix) the Group Companies would be seriously and irreparably injured if Executive were to engage in any actions in violation of Section 9 of this Agreement, and that, in the event of such breach or threatened breach, no adequate remedy at law would exist and damages would be difficult to determine; (x) the provisions contained in Section 9 of this Agreement are justified by, and reasonably necessary to, protect the legitimate business interests of the Group Companies, including the trade secret, confidential information and goodwill of the Group Companies; (xi) Executive is a sophisticated business person and has had an opportunity to consult with an attorney prior to entering into this Agreement; (xii) the Company is entering into this Agreement only because Executive is willing to comply with Section 9 of this Agreement; (xiii) the provisions in this Agreement are fair and reasonable in scope, duration and geographical limitations; and (xiv) if Executive were to act in concert with one or more current or former employees of the Group


 
7 Companies to violate any confidentiality or restrictive covenants, the harm to the Group Companies would be significantly greater than the harm that would have resulted if the individuals had acted separately. (b) Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation. Executive hereby agrees that he shall not in any jurisdiction in the world (the “Geographic Area”), either on Executive’s own account or on behalf of any other person, firm or company, directly or indirectly: (i) during the Employment Term be engaged, interested or concerned with, in or by any business or undertaking that is engaged in or carries on any aspect of the Business (it being agreed that this Section (i) does not prohibit passive ownership by Executive of up to 1% of the issued and outstanding common shares of a company when such class of shares trades publicly on a recognized securities exchange); (ii) during the Employment Term and for a period of six (6) months following the Date of Termination (such period to be read as twelve (12) months following the Date of Termination in respect of a termination of employment directly or indirectly in connection with a Change of Control (in accordance with Section 14)), solicit, interfere with, endeavor to entice away from the Group Companies or encourage to reduce the level or change the terms of business conducted with, or ownership by, any person, firm or company who or which as of the Date of Termination or in the period of twelve (12) months immediately prior to such date was a shareholder, customer or client of or regularly dealt with any of the Group Companies, or who at such date was to Executive’s knowledge negotiating with any of the Group Companies in relation to all or part of its business or its ownership, or which or whom Executive learned confidential information, other than any person, firm or company with which or with whom Executive conducted business prior to commencement of the Employment Term; and (iii) during the Employment Term and for a period of six (6) months following the end of the Date of Termination (such period to be read as twelve (12) months following the Date of Termination in respect of a termination of employment directly or indirectly in connection with a Change of Control (in accordance with Section 14)), solicit the services of or endeavor to entice away from the Group Companies any director, employee or consultant of a Group Company (whether or not such person would commit any breach of such person’s contract of employment or engagement by reason of leaving the service of such company), or employ or engage, or knowingly aid or assist any other person in procuring the employment or engagement of, any such person. (c) Extension/Termination of Post-Employment Period of Time. (A) Any post-employment period of time described in Section 9(b) above shall be extended one (1) day for each day that Executive is not in compliance with the provisions of this Section 9, and (B) the Parent Board, in its discretion, may by written notice to Executive terminate any post-employment period of time described in Section 9(b) above earlier than its scheduled termination. (d) Severability. It is expressly understood and agreed that, although Executive and the Company consider the restrictions contained in this Section 9 to be reasonable, if a determination is made by an arbitrator, arbitration panel or a court of competent jurisdiction that the time or territory or any other restriction contained in this Section 9 is an unenforceable restriction against Executive, then the applicable provision shall not be rendered void, but shall be deemed amended to apply as to the maximum time and territory and to the maximum extent as such court may judicially determine or indicate to be enforceable. If, however, any such arbitrator, arbitration panel or court determines that any such restriction is unenforceable and cannot be amended so as to make it enforceable, then the provision may be severed and the finding shall not affect the enforceability of any of the other restrictions contained herein. (e) Injunction. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company’s remedies at law for a breach or threatened breach of any of Executive’s obligations under this Section 9 would be inadequate


 
8 and, in recognition of this fact, Executive agrees that, in the event of such a breach or threatened breach, in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity, the Company shall be entitled to an injunction in aid of arbitration without the requirement to post security or a bond. (f) Restrictions Reasonable. Executive understands that the provisions of this Section 9 may limit Executive’s ability to earn a livelihood in a business similar to the business of the Company but Executive nevertheless agrees and hereby acknowledges that (i) such provisions do not impose a greater restraint than is necessary to protect the goodwill or other business interests of the Company, (ii) such provisions contain reasonable limitations as to time, geography and scope of activity to be restrained, (iii) such provisions are not harmful to the general public, (iv) such provisions are not unduly burdensome to Executive, (v) the consideration provided hereunder is sufficient to compensate Executive for the restrictions contained in this Section 9, and (vi) the potential harm to the Company of non-enforcement of this Section 9 outweighs any potential harm to Executive of enforcement. In consideration of the foregoing and in light of Executive’s education, skills and abilities, Executive agrees that Executive will not assert that, and it should not be considered that, any provisions of this Section 9 otherwise are void, voidable or unenforceable or should be voided or held unenforceable. The provisions of this Section 9 are an integral part of this Agreement. (g) Non-Disparagement. Executive shall not at any time (during or after Executive’s employment with the Company) directly or indirectly disparage the reputation of any of the Group Companies or their shareholders, persons or entities associated with such shareholders, officers, directors, agents or employees. The Company agrees that neither it nor any of its officers or members of its board of directors shall, at any time (during or after Executive’s employment with the Company) directly or indirectly disparage the reputation of the Executive). (h) Developments. All documents, schedules, lists, charts, correspondence and other data, information and property (and all copies thereof), written or electronic, received, accessed, developed, made or compiled by or on behalf of Executive at any time during Executive’s employment, relating to any of the Group Companies or their business activities, but excluding Executive’s personal effects and similar items, are and will be the property of the Group Companies, and must, except as otherwise agreed by the Parent Board in writing, be delivered to the Company promptly upon the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company for any or no reason or at any other time upon request.

[Signature Page of Fourteenth Amendment to Third Amended and Restated Reimbursement Agreement] ANNEX A INVESTMENT GUIDELINES The value of Collateral Fund Interest shall be reduced by an amount determined by application of the haircuts set forth below. The resulting value, after application of the relevant haircut, will be the Adjusted Market Value of the Collateral Fund Interest. All determinations in respect of haircuts shall be made by the Calculation Agent. Subject to agreement by Issuing Lender, which is not to be unreasonably withheld, and subject to a limit of one (1) time per calendar quarter, no haircut shall apply in respect of a cured condition if Borrower can demonstrate to Issuing Lender that the condition on the reporting date leading to a haircut no longer exists at the time of delivery of the report. Volatility If the Collateral Fund has a Volatility Percentage greater than or equal to 17%, the Adjusted Market Value (before any such adjustment) shall be multiplied by a factor equal to (i) 17% divided by (ii) the Volatility Percentage, to give a new Adjusted Market Value. “Volatility Percentage” means the annualized standard deviation of the Collateral Fund calculated using the 12 most recent monthly returns. Liquidity Applying a Liquidation Period of one (1) day, if the Collateral Fund has Liquidity less than or equal to 50%, the Adjusted Market Value (before any such adjustment) shall be multiplied by a factor equal to (i) Liquidity divided by (ii) 50%, to give a new Adjusted Market Value. Subject to agreement by Issuing Lender, which is not to be unreasonably withheld, no haircut shall apply if Borrower can demonstrate to Issuing Lender that a market holiday causes the measurement of Liquidity to be in error and subsequent measurements of Liquidity unaffected by market holidays would not lead to such an error. Applying a Liquidation Period of three (3) days, if the Collateral Fund has Liquidity less than or equal to 80%, the Adjusted Market Value (before any such adjustment) shall be multiplied by a factor equal to (i) Liquidity divided by (ii) 80%, to give a new Adjusted Market Value. Subject to agreement by Issuing Lender, which is not to be unreasonably withheld, no haircut shall apply if Borrower can demonstrate to Issuing Lender that a market holiday causes the measurement of Liquidity to be in error and subsequent measurements of Liquidity unaffected by market holidays would not lead to such an error. “Liquidity” means the percentage of assets of the Collateral Fund (determined on a look-through basis to the Strategy Funds) that can be liquidated within a specified number of days (the “Liquidation Period”), which is calculated as the estimated reduction in the Collateral Fund’s gross market value (for this purpose, calculated as the sum of (x) the market value of all long positions and (y) the absolute value of the sum of the market value of all short positions, in each case, held directly or indirectly by the Collateral Fund (the “Liquidity GMV”)) over that number of days divided by the Liquidity GMV as of the reporting date. The Liquidity GMV takes into account all positions in the relevant portfolio with the exception of a small number of out of universe positions that may exist, which positions generally consist of equities or related derivatives that arise from corporate actions, manual FX or equity hedge positions, or miscellaneous positions such as bonds posted to counterparties as margin (the “Out of Universe Positions”). The estimated reduction in Liquidity GMV is calculated by assuming that, for each day in the Liquidation Period, up to 15% of the average daily volume over the past 20 days of a particular position can be traded. There is no observable market volume for FX, FX Options, and other OTC derivatives; therefore internally estimated daily volumes provided by the Borrower (acting in good faith) shall be used to compute the average daily volume over the prior 20 days. Cash equivalents held at Two Sigma Hamilton Fund, LLC shall be excluded from the liquidation calculation. Leverage

4 (e) The Pledgor is the legal and beneficial owner of the Collateral free and clear of any Lien, claim, option or right of others, except for the security interest created under this Agreement. No effective financing statement or other instrument similar in effect covering all or any part of such Collateral or listing the Pledgor or any trade name of the Pledgor as debtor with respect to such Collateral has been filed in any recording office, except such as may have been filed in favor of the Pledgee. (f) No consent of any other Person and no authorization, approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body or other third party is required either (i) for the grant by the Pledgor of the assignment and security interest granted hereby, for the pledge by the Pledgor of the Collateral pursuant hereto or for the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by the Pledgor, (ii) for the perfection or maintenance of the pledge, assignment and security interest created hereby (including the first priority nature of such pledge, assignment or security interest), except for the filing of financing and continuation statements under the NYUCC, which financing statements have been duly filed and are in full force and effect, and the actions described in Section 4 with respect to the Collateral, which actions have been taken and are in full force and effect or (iii) for the exercise by the Pledgee of its rights provided for in this Agreement or the remedies in respect of the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement, except as may be required in connection with the disposition of any portion of the Collateral by-laws affecting the offering and sale of securities generally. (g) The execution, delivery and performance by the Pledgor of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, do not and will not (i) violate any provision of law, rule or regulation applicable to the Pledgor, where such breach is or is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Master Agreement); (ii) conflict with the charter or by-laws or substantively similar constitutive documents of the Pledgor; or (iii) result in the creation or imposition of a Lien (other than the Lien in favor of the Pledgee created hereby) upon the Collateral.

(j) Upon execution and delivery of this Agreement, the pledge and assignment of the Collateral pursuant hereto create a valid security interest in the Collateral, securing the payment of the Secured Obligations, (ii) this Agreement and the related Account Control Agreement will constitute a perfected security interest, and (iii) assuming the Pledgee has no notice of any Liens or “adverse claims” (as such terms is defined in Section 8-102(a)(1) of the NYUCC) with respect to the Collateral, the Pledgee will take the Collateral free and clear of any Liens and adverse claims as of the date of this Agreement. Section 7 Further Assurances. (a) The Pledgor agrees that from time to time, at the expense of the Pledgor, the Pledgor will promptly execute and deliver, or otherwise authenticate, all further Instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary or reasonably desirable, or that the Pledgee may reasonably request in order to continue, perfect and protect any pledge, assignment or security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Pledgee to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Pledgor will execute and file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and such other Instruments or notices, as may be necessary or reasonably desirable, or as the Pledgee may reasonably request, in order to perfect and preserve the pledge, assignment and security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby. (b) The Pledgor hereby authorizes the Pledgee to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, in each case without the signature of the Pledgor, and regardless of whether any particular asset described in such financing statements falls within the scope of the NYUCC or the granting clause of this Agreement, provided that prior to an Event of Default, the Pledgor shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such filings in advance. A photocopy or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement covering the Collateral or any part thereof shall be sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by law. The Pledgor ratifies its authorization for the Pledgee to have filed such financing statements, continuation statements or amendments filed prior to the date hereof. (c) The Pledgor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to furnish to the Pledgee from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral of the Pledgor and such other reports in connection with such Collateral as the Pledgee may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.


 
6 (d) The Pledgor will furnish to the Pledgee, upon the execution of this Agreement and upon the request of the Pledgee following a Structural Change, an opinion from outside counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Pledgee, to the effect that all financing or continuation statements have been filed, and all other action has been taken (including, without limitation, action necessary to give the Pledgee control over the Collateral as provided in Section 9- 106 of the UCC) to perfect continuously from the date hereof the security interest granted hereunder. Section 8. Post-Closing Changes. The Pledgor will not change its name, type of organization, jurisdiction of organization, organizational identification number or location from those set forth in Schedule 1 without first giving at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Pledgee and having taken all action reasonably required by the Pledgee for the purpose of perfecting or protecting the security interest in the Collateral granted by this Agreement. The Pledgor will not become bound by a security agreement authenticated by another Person (determined as provided in Section 9-203(d) of the NYUCC) without giving the Pledgee 30 days’ prior written notice thereof and taking all action required by the Pledgee to ensure that the perfection and first priority nature of the Pledgee’s security interest in the Collateral will be maintained. The Pledgor will hold and preserve its records relating to the Collateral and will permit representatives of the Pledgee at any time during normal business hours upon reasonable advance notice to inspect and make abstracts from such records and other documents. If the Pledgor does not have an organizational identification number and later obtains one, it will forthwith notify the Pledgee of such organizational identification number. Section 9. Distributions. (a) Other than upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) the Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Collateral or any part thereof for any purpose; provided however that the Pledgor will not exercise or refrain from exercising any such right if such action would have a material adverse effect on the value of the Collateral or any part thereof. (ii) to the extent consistent with Section 6(h), the Pledgor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all distributions paid in respect of the Pledged Securities; provided, however, that any and all • (A) distributions paid or payable other than in cash in respect of, and Instruments, Financial Assets and other property received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, or in exchange for, any Collateral; and • (B) cash paid, payable or otherwise distributed in respect of principal of, or in redemption of, or in exchange for, any Collateral, shall, solely to the extent (as determined by the Pledgee) the value of the Collateral in the Pledged Account is less than the Total Outstandings, be forthwith delivered to the Pledgee to hold as Collateral and shall, if received by the Pledgor, be received in trust for the benefit of the Pledgee, be segregated from the other property or funds of the Pledgor and be forthwith pledged to the Pledgee and deposited in the Pledged Account or delivered to the Pledgee to hold as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement), solely for the purposes of satisfying the Secured Obligations.


 
7 (b) The Pledgee shall execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Pledgor all such proxies and other instruments as the Pledgor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling the Pledgor to exercise the voting and other rights that it is entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) above and to receive the dividends or interest payments that it is authorized to receive and retain pursuant to paragraph (a)(ii) above. Section 10. Transfer and Other Liens. The Pledgor shall not (i) sell, assign or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of the Collateral (x) to the extent (as determined by the Pledgee) the value of the Collateral in the Pledged Account shall (after giving effect to such sale, assignment or other disposal) be less than or equal to the Total Outstandings or (y) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, or (ii) create or suffer to exist any Lien upon or with respect to any of the Collateral, except for the pledge, assignment and security interest created by this Agreement.

Section 12. Pledgee May Perform. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Pledgee may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice, itself perform, or cause performance of, any obligation of Pledgor contained herein that Pledgor fails to perform, and the expenses of the Pledgee incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Pledgor under Section 16(b) hereof.


 
8 Section 13. The Pledgee’s Duties. The powers conferred on the Pledgee hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Pledgee shall have no duty as to any Collateral, as to ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not the Pledgee has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral.

The Pledgee shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of a notice of sale having been given. The Pledgee may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned, so long as as the date of such adjournment takes place following the occurrence of an Event of Default and while it is continuing. (b) Any cash held by or on behalf of the Pledgee and all cash proceeds received by the Pledgee in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral may, in the discretion of the Pledgee, be held by the Pledgee as Collateral for, and/or then or at any time thereafter applied (after payment of any amounts payable to the Pledgee pursuant to Section 16) in whole or in part by the Pledgee against all or any part of the Secured Obligations in such order as the Pledgee shall elect.
