Monthly Commentary

•As previously announced, in December 2025, the Board of Directors declared an annual common share dividend of $13.50 per share and a quarterly common share dividend of $0.10 per share. The annual dividend amount for 2025 was determined by the Board of Directors based on our capital position, existing capital resources, and expected current and future capital needs. Both the annual and quarterly dividends are payable January 8, 2026, to shareholders of record on the close of business on January 2, 2026. There was no financial impact related to the declaration in November 2025.

Events

We plan to release December results on Wednesday, January 28, 2026, before the market opens.

•other matters described from time to time in our releases and publications, and in our periodic reports and other documents filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, including, without limitation, the Risk Factors section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2024.

Any forward-looking statements are made only as of the date presented. Except as required by applicable law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or developments or otherwise.

In addition, investors should be aware that accounting principles generally accepted in the United States prescribe when a company may reserve for particular risks, including litigation exposures. Accordingly, results for a given reporting period could be significantly affected if and when we establish reserves for one or more contingencies. Also, our regular reserve reviews may result in adjustments of varying magnitude as additional information regarding claims activity becomes known. Reported results, therefore, may be volatile in certain accounting periods.
