EXPLANATORY NOTE This presentation contains, and management may make, certain “forward - looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Secu rities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, may be forward - looking statemen ts. Words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “likely,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects,” “believes,” “views,” “estimates” and similar expressions are used to identify thes e f orward - looking statements. These statements include, among other things, the Company’s statements about: • the Company’s outlook, the impact of trends on its business and its future results of operations and financial condition; • the impact of COVID - 19 and related economic conditions; • the impact of legislative or regulatory actions or court decisions taken in response to COVID - 19 or otherwise; • share repurchase plans; • the sufficiency of the Company’s asbestos and other reserves; • the impact of emerging claims issues as well as other insurance and non - insurance litigation; • the cost and availability of reinsurance coverage; • catastrophe losses and modeling; • the impact of investment, economic and underwriting market conditions, including interest rates and inflation; • the impact of changing climate conditions; • strategic and operational initiatives to improve profitability and competitiveness; • the Company’s competitive advantages and innovation agenda; • new product offerings; • the impact of developments in the tort environment; and • the impact of developments in the geopolitical environment. The Company cautions investors that such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to pr edi ct and generally beyond the Company’s control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied or projected by, the forward - looking information and statements. Some of the factors that could cause actual results to differ include, but are not limited to, the following: Insurance - Related Risks • high levels of catastrophe losses; • actual claims may exceed the Company’s claims and claim adjustment expense reserves, or the estimated level of claims and cla im adjustment expense reserves may increase, including as a result of, among other things, changes in the legal/tort, regulatory an d economic environments; • the Company’s potential exposure to asbestos and environmental claims and related litigation; • the Company is exposed to, and may face adverse developments involving, mass tort claims; and • the effects of emerging claim and coverage issues on the Company’s business are uncertain, and court decisions or legislative ch anges that take place after the Company issues its policies can result in an unexpected increase in the number of claims. Financial, Economic and Credit Risks • a period of financial market disruption or an economic downturn; • the Company’s investment portfolio is subject to credit and interest rate risk, and may suffer reduced or low returns or mate ria l realized or unrealized losses; • the Company is exposed to credit risk related to reinsurance and structured settlements, and reinsurance coverage may not be ava ilable to the Company; • the Company is exposed to credit risk in certain of its insurance operations and with respect to certain guarantee or indemni fic ation arrangements that it has with third parties; • a downgrade in the Company’s claims - paying and financial strength ratings; and • the Company’s insurance subsidiaries may be unable to pay dividends to the Company’s holding company in sufficient amounts. Business and Operational Risks • the ongoing impact of COVID - 19 and related risks, including with respect to revenues, claims and claim adjustment expenses, gene ral and administrative expenses, investments, inflation, adverse legislative and/or regulatory action, operational disruption s a nd heightened cyber security risks and foreign currency exchange rate changes; • the intense competition that the Company faces, including with respect to attracting and retaining employees, and the impact of innovation, technological change and changing customer preferences on the insurance industry and the markets in which it oper ate s; • disruptions to the Company’s relationships with its independent agents and brokers or the Company’s inability to manage effec tiv ely a changing distribution landscape; • the Company’s efforts to develop new products or services, expand in targeted markets, improve business processes and workflo ws or make acquisitions may not be successful and may create enhanced risks; • the Company's pricing and capital models may provide materially different indications than actual results; • loss of or significant restrictions on the use of particular types of underwriting criteria, such as credit scoring, or other da ta or methodologies, in the pricing and underwriting of the Company’s products; and • the Company is subject to additional risks associated with its business outside the United States. Technology and Intellectual Property Risks • as a result of cyber attacks or otherwise, the Company may experience difficulties with technology, data and network security or outsourcing relationships; • the Company’s dependence on effective information technology systems and on continuing to develop and implement improvements in technology; and • the Company may be unable to protect and enforce its own intellectual property or may be subject to claims for infringing the in tellectual property of others. Regulatory and Compliance Risks • changes in regulation, including higher tax rates; and • the Company's compliance controls may not be effective. In addition, the Company’s share repurchase plans depend on a variety of factors, including the Company’s financial position, ea rnings, share price, catastrophe losses, maintaining capital levels commensurate with the Company’s desired ratings from inde pen dent rating agencies, changes in levels of written premiums, funding of the Company’s qualified pension plan, capital requirements of the Company’s operating subsidiaries, legal requirements, regulator y c onstraints, other investment opportunities (including mergers and acquisitions and related financings), market conditions, ch ang es in tax law and other factors, including the ongoing level of uncertainty related to COVID - 19. Our forward - looking statements speak only as of the date of this presentation or as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update forward - looking statements. For a more detailed discussion of these factors, see the information under t he captions “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Forward Looking Statements” in our most recent annual report on Form 10 - K fi led with the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 17, 2022, as updated by our periodic filings with the SEC.

In some cases, these measures are considered non - GAAP financial measures under applicable SEC rules because they are not displayed as separate line items in the consolidated financial statements or are not required to be disclosed in the notes to financial statements or, in some cases, in clude or exclude certain items not ordinarily included or excluded in the most comparable GAAP financial measure. Reconciliations of these measures to the most comparable GAAP measures also follow. In the opinion of the Company’s management, a discussion of these measures provides investors, financial analysts, rating age nci es and other financial statement users with a better understanding of the significant factors that comprise the Company’s periodic results of operations and how management evaluates the Company’s fin anc ial performance. Some of these measures exclude net realized investment gains (losses), net of tax, and/or net unrealized investment gains (lo sse s), net of tax, included in shareholders’ equity, which can be significantly impacted by both discretionary and other economic factors and are not necessarily indicative of operating trends. Other companies may calculate these measures differently, and, therefore, their measures may not be comparable to those used by the Company’s management. RECONCILIATION OF NET INCOME TO CORE INCOME AND CERTAIN OTHER NON - GAAP MEASURES Core income (loss) is consolidated net income (loss) excluding the after - tax impact of net realized investment gains (losses), discontinued operat ions, the effect of a change in tax laws and tax rates at enactment, and cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles when applicable. Segment income (loss) is determined in the same manner as core income (loss) on a segment basis. Management uses segment income (loss) to analyze each segment’s performance and as a tool in making business decisions. Financial statem ent users also consider core income (loss) when analyzing the results and trends of insurance companies. Core income (loss) per share is core income (loss) on a per common share basis.

Return on equity is the ratio of annualized net income (loss) less preferred dividends to average shareholders’ equity for the periods present ed . Core return on equity is the ratio of annualized core income (loss) less preferred dividends to adjusted average shareholders’ equity for the periods presented. In the opinion of the Company’s management, these are important indicators of how well management creates value for its shareholders through its operating activities and its capital management. Calculation of Return on Equity and Core Return on Equity RECONCILIATION OF UNDERWRITING INCOME EXCLUDING CERTAIN ITEMS TO NET INCOME Underwriting income (loss) is net earned premiums and fee income less claims and claim adjustment expenses and insurance - related expenses. In the opinion o f the Company’s management, it is important to measure the profitability of each segment excluding the results of investing activities, which are managed separ ate ly from the insurance business. This measure is used to assess each segment’s business performance and as a tool in making business decisions. U nderwriting income, excluding the impact of catastrophes and net favorable (unfavorable) prior year loss reserve development , is the underwriting income adjusted to exclude claims and claim adjustment expenses, reinstatement premiums and assessments re lated to catastrophes and loss reserve development related to time periods prior to the current year. In the opinion of the Company’s management, this measure is meaningful to use rs of the financial statements to understand the Company’s periodic earnings and the variability of earnings caused by the unpredictable nature (i.e., the timing and amount) of catastrophes and lo ss reserve development. This measure is also referred to underlying underwriting income, underlying underwriting gain or underlying underwriting margin. A catastrophe is a severe loss designated a catastrophe by internationally recognized organizations that track and report on insured losses resulting from catastrophic events, such as Property Claim Services (PCS) for events in the United States and Canada . Catastrophes can be caused by various natural events, including, among others, hurricanes, tornadoes and other windstorms, earthquakes, hail, wildfires, severe winter weather, floods, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions and other naturally - occurring events, such as solar flares . Catastrophes can also be man - made, such as terrorist attacks and other intentionally destructive acts including those involving nuclear, biological, chemical and radiological events, cyber events, explosions and destruction of infrastructure . Each catastrophe has unique characteristics and catastrophes are not predictable as to timing or amount . Their effects are included in net and core income and claims and claim adjustment expense reserves upon occurrence . A catastrophe may result in the payment of reinsurance reinstatement premiums and assessments from various pools . The Company’s threshold for disclosing catastrophes is primarily determined at the reportable segment level. If a threshold f or one segment or a combination thereof is exceeded and the other segments have losses from the same event, losses from the event are identified as catastrophe losses in the segment results and for th e c onsolidated results of the Company. Additionally, an aggregate threshold is applied for international business across all reportable segments. The threshold for 2021 ranges from $20 million to $30 mill ion of losses before reinsurance and taxes. Net favorable (unfavorable) prior year loss reserve development is the increase or decrease in incurred claims and claim adjustment expenses as a result of the re - estimation of claims and cla im adjustment expense reserves at successive valuation dates for a given group of claims, which may be related to one or more pr ior years. In the opinion of the Company’s management, a discussion of loss reserve development is meaningful to users of the financial statements as it allows them to assess the impact between prior a nd current year development on incurred claims and claim adjustment expenses, net and core income (loss), and changes in claims and claim adjustment expense reserve levels from period to period .
