Role of the Compensation Consultant and Refreshed 2023 Peer Group
Role of the Compensation Consultant and Refreshed 2023 Peer Group In 2023, due to factors such as mergers and acquisition activity impacting our peer group for 2022, the Compensation Committee engaged Mercer to consider a refresh of the set of peer group companies for use as a point of comparison in assessing the competitiveness of 2023 compensation for certain executive officers. Data compiled from this refreshed peer group (listed below), as well as from reliable compensation survey databases, has been used as a baseline reference by the Compensation Committee to assist it in establishing and assessing target total compensation levels, as well as target compensation levels for individual components of compensation for our executive officers. When making compensation decisions, we also look at the compensation of our NEOs relative to the compensation paid to similarly-situated executives at companies that we consider to be our peers, which is referred to as “benchmarking.” However, we believe that a benchmark serves as a point of reference, but is not a determinative factor, for our executives’ compensation. Such comparative information is just one of the factors considered in setting executive compensation and the Compensation Committee has the discretion to consider the nature and extent of its use. The refreshed peer group used to assist in making the compensation decisions for 2023, which we refer to as our 2023 peer group, was selected primarily based on the peer companies’ similarities to us as of the time the survey was performed, based on factors such as revenue and other financials, such as asset size, book value, EBITDA and market capitalization, and business mix and industry. As noted above, certain companies were removed from our peer group in 2023 as a result of such factors as mergers and acquisitions and dissimilarities to our business.
Role of the Compensation Consultant and Refreshed 2023 Peer Group
| The 2023 peer group is comprised of the following companies: | | | | Arch Capital Group, Ltd. | Everest Group, Ltd. | Proassurance Corporation | | AXIS Capital Holdings Limited | Hiscox Ltd. | RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd. | | Conduit Holdings Limited | James River Group Holdings, Ltd. | SiriusPoint Ltd. | | Employers Holdings, Inc. | Kinsale Capital Group, Inc. | United Fire Group, Inc. | | Enstar Group Limited | Lancashire Holdings Limited | |
Role of the Compensation Consultant and Refreshed 2023 Peer Group
The Compensation Committee strives to target total pay at levels that are within reasonable range of market based on various criteria, including, but not limited to, experience, time in role, performance, and scope of responsibility in comparison to benchmarks.
Bonuses
Bonuses Short-Term Incentive Plan We use bonuses to reward individual and company performance. We expect our bonuses to be variable from year to year. Our Compensation Committee determines each NEO’s target bonus, expressed as a percentage of base salary. The target bonuses of the NEOs were set by the Compensation Committee based on the scope and significance of each NEO’s role, with the CEO receiving the highest target due to his greater responsibilities. In 2021, following Mercer’s review of our compensation practices, the Compensation Committee recommended to our Board, and the Board approved, a new annual bonus program, which we refer to as the Short-Term Incentive Plan, which is administered by the Compensation Committee. No incentive cycles prior to 2021 under our previously-disclosed prior bonus program, which we refer to as the Prior Bonus Program, are impacted other than as previously disclosed. The Short-Term Incentive Plan replaces the Prior Bonus Program with a more market-based short-term incentive plan. The guiding principles related to our new short-term incentive plan were to make the plan easy to understand, transparent and reward controllable results, incentivize management decisions that would support long-term growth and profitability, and promote retention through real near-term earnings potential. Eligible employees, which include all full-time salaried employees, who become participants in the Short-Term Incentive Plan for a specific plan year will be eligible to receive a target bonus opportunity expressed as a percentage of base salary. Actual participation in the Short-Term Incentive Plan will be determined with respect to each plan year and will be based on the recommendations of our CEO, and will be subject to the discretion of the Compensation Committee. All of the NEOs were eligible to participate in the Short-Term Incentive Plan for the 2023 plan year. Target bonus opportunities will vary by individual participant and may vary among employees in the same salary grade level or same internal reporting relationship. Awards under the Short-Term Incentive Plan may be earned based upon achievement of certain performance metrics, financial or otherwise, as determined by the Compensation Committee. The aggregate target bonus opportunity may be broken down into two parts: (1) the company performance target bonus and (2) the individual performance target bonus. The weightings of each metric, to the extent applicable, which may vary by participant, are recommended by the CEO (other than with respect to the CEO whose weightings are determined by the Compensation Committee) and determined by the Compensation Committee. The metrics and the associated weightings may be changed from plan year to plan year. The Compensation Committee will select one or more of the following as the company performance criteria related to the company performance target bonus for each plan year: (1) adjusted operating profit; (2) growth in book value per share; (3) total shareholder return; (4) underwriting loss ratio; (5) underwriting combined ratio; (6) expense ratio; (7) net income; or (8) any other performance criteria that the Compensation Committee may select in its discretion. Each selected company performance criteria will be assigned a threshold, target and maximum level of achievement as determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion. The company performance criteria and requisite level of performance corresponding to threshold and maximum levels of performance (including the corresponding percentage of the company performance target bonus that can be earned) may be changed from plan year to plan year, but in no event may the maximum level of performance result in a payment in excess of 200% of the company performance target bonus. Performance and bonus achievement are measured following the end of the single year performance period and bonuses are generally paid in cash following the Board’s approval of audited fiscal year results and the determination by the CEO or the Compensation Committee, as applicable, of individual performance levels, but in no event later than March 15 of the year following the year to which the bonus relates, subject generally to continued employment through the last day of the performance period (and not having given or received notice of termination); provided, however, that if a participant’s employment terminates due to death or disability prior to the last day of the performance period, the participant will be entitled to a pro-rata bonus based on actual performance for the year in which the termination occurs, subject to compliance with the terms of the participant’s employment agreement or offer letter, as applicable. If a participant commences participation in the Short-Term Incentive Plan after the first day of the applicable plan year, any such bonus payable in respect of such plan year will be pro-rated based on the portion of the year employed. All payments under the Short-Term Incentive Plan may (or, to the extent required by law or listing standards of any securities exchange on which our securities are listed, will) be subject to recoupment, cancellation, reduction or forfeiture (1) in accordance with any clawback or similar policy adopted by the Board or the Compensation Committee, (2) in accordance with any clawback or similar policy that we are required to adopt pursuant to any applicable listing standards or applicable law or (3) in the event of fraud or any financial restatements or irregularities. In March 2023, the Board adopted a clawback policy designed to comply with Section 10D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and with the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC Rule 5608, that provides for the recoupment of certain incentive compensation. 2023 Short-Term Incentive Plan Awards For 2023, the target annual bonus opportunity, expressed as a percentage of annual base salary, for the NEOs were as follows:
Bonuses
| Name | 2023 Target Bonus Opportunity (% of Base Salary) | | Simon Burton | 100% | | Faramarz Romer | 50% | | Neil Greenspan (1) | N/A | | Patrick O'Brien | 60% | | Thomas Curnock | 50% | | David Sigmon | 50% |
Bonuses
(1) Pursuant to the terms of the Greenspan Separation Agreement, Mr. Greenspan was not entitled to a 2023 annual bonus. In respect of 2023, the Compensation Committee determined that awards under the Short-Term Incentive Plan would be based upon achievement of company performance and individual performance. The weightings between company and individual performance for the annual incentive compensation opportunities vary among our NEOs. For 2023, the weightings of the NEOs were set by the Compensation Committee based on the scope of each NEO’s role, as follows:
Bonuses
| Name | Company Performance | Individual Performance | | Simon Burton | 75% | 25% | | Faramarz Romer | 50% | 50% | | Neil Greenspan (1) | 50% | 50% | | Patrick O'Brien | 75% | 25% | | Thomas Curnock | 75% | 25% | | David Sigmon | 50% | 50% |
Bonuses
(1) Pursuant to the terms of the Greenspan Separation Agreement, Mr. Greenspan was not entitled to a 2023 annual bonus. In respect of 2023, the Compensation Committee determined that company performance would be measured based upon achievement of adjusted operating profit, or 2023 AOP Metric, as this metric reflects management’s contribution to long term profitability and operational efficiency. With respect to the 2023 fiscal year, the AOP Metric means the sum of (i) the 2023 underwriting income and (ii) the 2023 strategic investments income (net of tax), less (iii) 2023 corporate innovations-related expense, as a percentage of book value measured as of January 1, 2023. Under the Short-Term Incentive Plan, participants will be eligible to receive a bonus related to the company performance criteria, to the extent applicable, if we achieve at least the threshold level of performance for the applicable performance period. If the threshold level of performance related to the 2023 AOP Metric was not attained, no portion of the award allocated to that metric would have been earned, and if the maximum level of performance related to the 2023 AOP Metric was attained, participants would have been eligible to receive 200% of the target award related to such metric. In 2023, the actual 2023 AOP Metric was 6.3%, which resulted in 93.8% payout. Adjusted operating profit is a non-GAAP financial measure. Please refer to Annex 1 for definition of non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures.
Bonuses
| Performance Measure | Threshold (50%) | Target (100%) | Maximum (200%) | Actual | Payout | | 2023 AOP | 3.0% | 6.8% | 12.0% | 6.3% | 93.8% |
Bonuses
Linear interpolation is used to calibrate payouts between the threshold, target and maximum levels. The individual performance metric ranges from 0% of the target award related to that metric to 100% of the target award related to that metric. The Compensation Committee determines the percentage of the individual performance target bonus, if any, that each named executive officer is eligible to earn. In determining the individual performance payout percentages for each of our NEOs, the Compensation Committee considers, among other things, the contributions by each individual based upon his or her area of responsibility to: •The transformation, diversification and performance of our underwriting platform and long-term growth strategy; •The strength and improvement of our A.M. Best financial ratings and maintenance of regulatory compliance; and •The judicious deployment of capital that is not contractually allocated to our alternative investment strategy. The Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, may consider subjective criteria relating to performance and accomplishments on an individual and comparative basis. These criteria include, but are not limited to: •The strength and development of each individual’s contributions to our strategic goals and our client, broker, shareholder and other stakeholder relationships; •the quality and professionalism of the individual in support of the Board, the management team and our employees, including individual contributions to team development, engagement and motivation, and succession planning; and •the Company’s desire to retain the executive and align his or her interests with those of our shareholders. In connection with its review of 2023 individual performance, the Compensation Committee approved individual performance for the NEOs as follows:
Bonuses
| Name | Actual | | Simon Burton(1) | 100% | | Faramarz Romer | 100% | | Neil Greenspan(2) | —% | | Patrick O'Brien | 100% | | Thomas Curnock | 100% | | David Sigmon(3) | 100% |
Bonuses
(1) Pursuant to terms of the Burton Separation Agreement, Mr. Burton’s individual performance was deemed to be achieved at target. (2) Pursuant to the terms of the Greenspan Separation Agreement, Mr. Greenspan was not entitled to a 2023 annual bonus. (3) Mr. Sigmon’s individual performance was based on a pro-rated calendar year in 2023 because he joined the Company in April 2023. Incentive compensation earned under the Short-Term Incentive Plan for the 2023 fiscal year was paid in March 2024, and for each applicable NEO disclosed in the “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column for such year in the Summary Compensation Table below. Prior Bonus Program In March 2024, the Compensation Committee approved the updated 2018 underwriting year calculations for the quantitative bonus pool with respect to the Prior Bonus Program based on performance through December 31, 2023 and declared the 2018 underwriting year closed. For the 2018 underwriting year, the updated calculations reflect below-threshold performance and, as such, no quantitative bonus will be awarded. The only underwriting year that remains open under the Prior Bonus Program is 2019.
Sign-On Bonuses
Sign-On Bonuses From time to time, the Compensation Committee may award sign-on bonuses in connection with the commencement of an NEO’s employment with us. Sign-on bonuses are used only when necessary to attract highly skilled officers to the Company. Generally they are used to incentivize candidates to leave their current employers or may be used to offset the loss of unvested compensation or future income that they may forfeit as a result of leaving their current employer or business. In 2023, as an inducement to join the Company, we awarded Mr. Sigmon a one-time restricted share equity grant in May 2023 to help partially offset the loss of equity compensation Mr. Sigmon forfeited at his prior employer when he joined the Company. The May 2023 restricted share equity grant had a grant date value of $250,000, and cliff vests three years after the grant date generally subject to Mr. Sigmon’s continued employment.
Retention Bonuses
Retention Bonuses From time to time, the Compensation Committee, based upon a review of competitive conditions and/or the role and skill set of the individual, may approve retention arrangements for certain NEOs and other senior executives.
Stock Incentive Plan Awards
Stock Incentive Plan Awards In 2023, we adopted the 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan, or the 2023 Incentive Plan, to promote the interests of the Company and its shareholders by: •attracting, retaining, motivating, and rewarding exceptional employees, officers, directors and consultants (including prospective employees, officers, directors and consultants) of the Company and its affiliates; •enabling such individuals to participate in the long-term growth and financial success of the Company; and •directly linking compensation with Company performance. The 2023 Incentive Plan became effective on July 25, 2023. The 2023 Incentive Plan replaces the Greenlight Capital Re, Ltd. Amended and Restated 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time, or the Prior Incentive Plan. The 2023 Incentive Plan shall not terminate amend or modify any provision of the Prior Incentive Plan nor adversely affect any awards granted under the Prior Incentive Plan or rights outstanding under the Prior Incentive Plan, provided, however, that no further awards will be granted under the Prior Incentive Plan. Our Compensation Committee has decided that, with certain exceptions noted above, restricted shares or RSUs, as applicable, generally are the preferred form of equity compensation as the Compensation Committee believes that restricted shares or RSUs, as applicable, better align management with long-term shareholder value creation. Our Compensation Committee determines the value of restricted share or restricted share unit grants for certain of our NEO after taking into account, among other things, our desire to retain the executive and the executive’s role within the Company. Those executives who are most critical to our future growth generally receive larger awards. Currently, we expect long-term compensation (i.e., 2023 Incentive Plan awards), to continue to represent the majority of each NEO’s compensation. In order to prevent the backdating of equity awards and to ensure that the timing of awards or the release of material information will not be accelerated or delayed to allow an award recipient to benefit from a more favorable stock price, our Board of Directors and Compensation Committee adopted a policy with respect to our equity grant practices that delineates specific procedures when granting equity awards. We believe this policy helps the integrity of our equity award grant practices. Our current practice is to grant equity awards in March of each fiscal year, shortly after the filing of our Form 10-K for the preceding year. In February 2023, our Compensation Committee approved, and, on March 15, 2023, we granted awards of 271,269 ordinary restricted shares to Mr. Burton, 47,634 ordinary RSUs to Mr. O’Brien, 33,081 ordinary restricted shares to Mr. Romer and 49,846 ordinary restricted shares to Mr. Curnock under the Prior Incentive Plan. Each of Messrs. Burton, Romer, O’Brien and Curnock’s 2023 awards under the Prior Incentive Plan consist of a mix of performance-vesting restricted stock or RSUs (33% for Mr. Romer and 67% for the other executives), as applicable, and time-vesting restricted stock or RSUs (67% for Mr. Romer and 33% for the other executives), as applicable. Time-based awards will vest ratably over a three-year period, generally subject to continued employment through and including each vesting date. Performance-vesting awards will cliff vest, if at all, based on the actual level of achievement against the performance metrics following the end of the three year performance period, generally subject to continued employment through and including the last day of the three year performance period. Performance will be determined by the Board or the Compensation Committee after the completion of the three year performance period pursuant to the terms of the award. The performance-vesting awards granted in 2023 will be earned, if at all, based on performance against the following metrics: fully diluted book value per share growth (65% weight) and combined ratio (35% weight). Performance metrics and weightings may change from year to year for future awards and the Board and the Compensation Committee reserve the right to modify the metrics and performance measurement based on changes in accounting rules/regulations, and unforeseen event and circumstances. The performance-vesting awards granted in 2023 vest as follows based on achievement of the weighted performance metrics: below threshold, 0% vesting; threshold, 50% vesting; target, 100% vesting; and maximum, 200% vesting. Linear interpolation is used to calibrate payouts between threshold, target and maximum award levels. With respect to each performance metric, the Compensation Committee determined that 22.5% fully diluted book value per share growth and 97% average combined ratio were the appropriate challenging targets for payout at target for the 2023-2025 (inclusive) performance cycle. Combined ratio of more than 99% would result in no payout, 99% would result in 50% payout and 94% or less would result in 200% payout with respect to the combined ratio performance metric. Fully diluted book value per share growth of less than 12.5% would result in no payout, 12.5% would result in 50% payout, and 40.5% would result in 200% payout with respect to the fully diluted book value per share growth performance metric. These stock awards reflect our Compensation Committee’s desire to retain these executives and align their interests with those of our shareholders. For more details on these awards, see “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control—Stock Incentive Plan and Awards Granted Thereunder.”
Change in Control and Severance
Change in Control and Severance Mr. Burton The Burton Separation Agreement provides that in connection with Mr. Burton’s termination of employment with the Company and Greenlight Re without cause effective December 31, 2023, Mr. Burton will receive benefits consisting of (i) a cash severance amount equal to $2,400,000, less applicable taxes and deductions and any applicable statutory severance payable to Mr. Burton, payable over eighteen (18) months in substantially equal monthly installments commencing on the sixtieth (60th) day after December 31, 2023, (ii) payment equivalent to statutory severance in the amount of $92,307 payable within two and one half months of December 31, 2023, (iii) eligibility for a 2023 annual bonus under the Short-Term Incentive Plan based on actual performance with individual performance deemed to be achieved at target, (iv) full vesting of time vesting restricted shares, (v) continued eligibility to vest in performance vesting restricted shares based on performance achievement, (vi) continued payment of base salary and provision of health coverage through April 30, 2024, which corresponds to the 180-day notice period required under his employment agreement and (vii) a grant of performance vesting restricted shares with a grant date value of $1.6 million to be made at such time as grants are generally made to other executives in or about March 2024. Mr. Burton also agreed to serve as an advisor and provide transitional services through April 2024. Mr. Greenspan The Greenspan separation agreement provides that in connection with Mr. Greenspan’s termination of employment with the Company and Greenlight Re without cause effective March 31, 2023, Mr. Greenspan will receive benefits consisting of (i) a cash severance amount equal to $811,644, less applicable taxes and deductions, of which $61,644 is payable within two and one half months of March 31, 2023, and $750,000 is payable over twelve months in substantially equal installments commencing on the sixtieth day after March 31, 2023, (ii) payment equivalent to statutory severance in the amount of $38,462, less applicable taxes and deductions, payable within two and one half months of March 31, 2023, and (iii) payment of $95,000 for relocation expenses, payable within fifteen days following March 31, 2023. In addition, the Company, Greenlight Re, and Mr. Greenspan entered into a consulting agreement, dated March 6, 2023, pursuant to which Mr. Greenspan provided non-employee consulting and advisory services to the Employer, on a non-exclusive basis, from April 1, 2023 until July 31, 2023 for a consulting fee of $25,000 per month. Other NEOs Upon termination of employment or a change in control, in addition to certain bonuses referenced above, our NEOs may receive accelerated vesting of awards granted under our 2004 Incentive Plan, 2023 Incentive Plan and severance payments under their employment agreements. Under our 2004 Incentive Plan and 2023 Incentive Plan, our Compensation Committee generally has the discretion to vest unvested awards upon a change in control as described below under “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control — The Stock Incentive Plan and Awards Granted Thereunder.” This discretion allows the Compensation Committee to determine at the time of the change in control whether, and the extent to which, additional vesting is warranted. Upon termination of employment without cause or for good reason (or, with respect to Mr. O’Brien, in the event prior notice (or pay in lieu of notice) is required by GRIL and other than in the case of death), our NEOs are eligible for severance payments. For more details on these payments, see “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control — Employment Agreements.” The amount of our severance obligations to our NEOs is designed to be competitive with the amounts payable to executives in similar positions at other global reinsurance companies with which we compete for talent. Severance payments are generally made in substantially equal monthly installments and are generally contingent upon the NEO’s continued compliance with the restrictive covenants in his or her employment agreement.

SUMMARY COMPENSATION TABLE
(1)Bonus payments in this column for 2023 represent discretionary payments approved by the Compensation Committee in February 2024 to Messrs. Romer, O’Brien and Curnock for extraordinary contributions to the Company in 2023 in connection with the CEO transition process. Bonus payments in this column for 2021 represent the retention bonuses paid to Messrs. Burton, Greenspan, O’Brien and Curnock on July 1, 2021. (2)All stock awards were granted under our Prior Incentive Plan. The value reported above in the “Stock Awards” column is the aggregate grant date fair value for each NEO’s award determined in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation—Stock Compensation.” Assumptions used in the calculation of these amounts are included in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. The values reported for Messrs. Burton, Romer, O’Brien, Curnock, and Sigmon represent restricted share or restricted share unit awards, as applicable. The 2023 restricted shares and RSUs are discussed under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Stock Incentive Plan Awards” above. For the stock awards granted in 2023, other than Mr. Sigmon, the values represent the achievement of the performance conditions at the target level of performance conditions. Assuming the highest level of performance achievement as of the grant date, the aggregate grant date value of the awards for Messrs. Burton, Romer, O’Brien, and Curnock, would have been $2,672,000, $325,850, $469,193, and 490,980, respectively. As a result, they do not necessarily represent the actual value that the recipient will receive from the award. For Mr. Sigmon, his award reflects a one-time restricted share grant, with a grant value of $250,000, that cliff vests three years after the grant date generally subject to Mr. Sigmon’s continued employment. (3)For the 2023 year, the value reported above in the “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column is the amount paid to the applicable NEOs in March 2024 and relates to the bonus in respect of the 2023 plan year. (4)See All Other Compensation Table below. For 2022, the amount shown for Mr. Burton includes reimbursement for legal fees and application fees incurred in connection with his application for Cayman permanent residency, per Mr. Burton’s employment agreement. (5)Mr. Romer was not a Named Executive Officer prior to 2022. Accordingly, only information for the 2022 and 2023 years are provided herein. (6)Mr. Greenspan departed the Company in March 2023. Accordingly, his salary for 2023 is based on the pro-rated portion paid in 2023. (7)Because he is based in Ireland, Mr. O’Brien’s cash compensation is generally paid to him in Euros rather than United States dollars. Amounts reported as “Salary,” and “All Other Compensation” are based on an average conversion rate for 2023, which was $1.08 United States dollars for each Euro. As noted above, amounts reported as “Bonus” and “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” were denominated in United States dollars, but will be paid to Mr. O’Brien in Euros rather than United States dollars because he is based in Ireland. (8)Mr. Sigmon joined the Company in April 2023. Accordingly, his salary for 2023 is based on the pro-rated portion paid in 2023 For the Named Executive Officers, the 2023 amounts in the All Other Compensation column include:

GRANTS OF PLAN BASED AWARDS IN FISCAL YEAR 2023
(1)The amounts reflect the NEO’s threshold, target and maximum amount of payouts under the Short-Term Incentive Plan as of the grant date of such awards. The actual amounts paid to our NEOs pursuant to the plan are set forth in the Summary Compensation Table above. For more information about the terms of the Short-Term Incentive Plan, please see the section of this Proxy Statement entitled “Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Bonuses.” Mr. Sigmon’s threshold, target and maximum amounts are pro-rated based upon length of service in 2023, given he joined in April 2023. (2)The amounts reflect the restricted shares or restricted share units, as applicable, made pursuant to our 2004 stock incentive plan to each of Messrs. Burton, Romer, O’Brien, and Curnock, vesting in substantially equal installments over three years on each January 1, 2024, January 1, 2025, and January 1, 2026. In the case of Mr. Sigmon, this amount reflects the restricted shares Mr. Sigmon received in his sign-on grant, that cliff vest three years following the grant date generally subject to his continued employment. (3)The amounts reflect the aggregate grant date fair value for each NEO’s restricted share or restricted share unit awards granted in 2023, determined in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation—Stock Compensation.” The values represent the achievement of the performance conditions at the target level of performance conditions. Assuming the highest level of performance achievement as of the grant date, the aggregate grant date value of the awards for Messrs. Burton, Romer, O’Brien, and Curnock, would have been $2,672,000, $325,850, $469,193, and $490,980, respectively. (4)The amounts reflect the threshold, target and maximum number of share that will vest with respect to restricted shares or be issuable with respect to restricted share units, made pursuant to our Prior Incentive Plan to each Messrs. Burton, Romer, O’Brien, and Curnock. The performance shares vest, and the performance share units are settled in ordinary shares, in an amount from 0% to 100% of the shares or units awarded, respectively, based on fully diluted book value per share growth (65% weight) and combined ratio (35% weight) for the three year performance period commencing on January 1, 2023 and ending on December 31, 2025.

PAY RATIO AND PAY VERSUS PERFORMANCE
PAY RATIO AND PAY VERSUS PERFORMANCE
2023 Pay Ratio
2023 Pay Ratio As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship of the annual total compensation of our employees and the annual total compensation of Mr. Burton, our former Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”, or as sometimes referred to below in this section, our Principal Executive Officer or “PEO”). For 2023, our last completed fiscal year: a) the median of the annual total compensation of all our employees (other than our CEO) was $163,310; and b) the total annualized compensation of our CEO was $5,910,846. Based on this information, for 2023, the ratio of the total annualized compensation of Mr. Burton, our CEO, to the median of the annual total compensation of all employees was 36.2 to 1.0. If the calculation was performed excluding Mr. Burton’s one-time cash severance payments as part of his departure, then the ratio would be 19.4 to 1.0. This alternative pay ratio is not a substitute for the pay ratio calculated in accordance with the SEC disclosure rules, but we believe it is helpful in evaluating the ratio of Mr. Burton’s annual 2023 total compensation to the median employee compensation in light of the one-time severance payments provided to Mr. Burton. To identify the median employee in 2023, we took the following steps: i.We selected December 31, 2023, which we refer to as the determination date, which is within the last three months of 2023, as the date upon which we would identify the “median employee.” ii.We identified the median employee by examining the annual total compensation for 2023, calculated in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K, of each of our employees employed as of December 31, 2023. For those employees who joined the Company during 2023 the total compensation was annualized as if they had been employed for the entire year. We calculated the total compensation for each employee in the same manner as the “Total Compensation” shown for our NEOs in the “Summary Compensation Table”, including converting currencies of our employees in Ireland into United States dollars based on an average conversion rate for 2023 which was $1.08, where applicable and including converting currencies of our employees in the United Kingdom into United States dollars based on an average conversion rate for 2023 which was $1.25, where applicable. We determined the compensation of our median employee by ranking the annual total compensation of all employees, except for our CEO, and selecting the median employee based on their total compensation.
Pay Versus Performance
Pay Versus Performance As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship of executive compensation actually paid and certain financial performance of our company. The following table shows the total compensation for our NEOs for the past four fiscal years as set forth in the Summary Compensation Table, or the compensation actually paid or CAP, to our PEO, and, on an average basis, our non-PEO NEOs (in each case, as determined under SEC rules), our total shareholder return, or TSR, the TSR of the S&P 500 Property & Casualty Insurance Index, or our Peer Group TSR, over the same period, our net income, and our company-selected measure for 2023, Growth in Fully Diluted Book Value Per Share.
