CORPORATE GOVERNANCE BEST PRACTICES
| PROPOSAL 1 | ELECTION OF DIRECTORS | | TO ELECT TWO CLASS III DIRECTORS TO OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO HOLD OFFICE UNTIL THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS TO BE HELD IN 2028 OR UNTIL THEIR OFFICE SHALL OTHERWISE BE VACATED PURSUANT TO OUR BYE-LAWS | |
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE BEST PRACTICES
Scott Egan and Sharon Ludlow, have each been nominated for election as Class III directors to serve until the annual general meeting of shareholders to be held in 2028. Each director will hold his or her respective office until his successor has been elected and qualified or until the director’s office shall otherwise be vacated pursuant to our Bye-laws. The proxy will be voted in accordance with the directions thereon or, if no directions are indicated, the proxy will be voted for the election of the two director nominees named above. The Board has proposed and recommended that each nominee be elected to hold office as described above. If any nominee shall, prior to the Annual General Meeting, become unavailable for election as a director, the persons named in the accompanying proxy will vote in their discretion for such nominee, if any, as may be recommended by the Board, or the Board may reduce the number of directors to eliminate the vacancy. If a quorum is present at the Annual General Meeting, each director will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast in the election of directors at the Annual General Meeting, either in person or represented by properly authorized proxy. This means that the nominees who receive the largest number of “FOR” votes cast will be elected as a director. For further information, see the answers to the questions “What is the quorum requirement for the Annual General Meeting?” and “What is the voting requirement to approve each of the proposals?” The age, business experience, qualifications and directorships in other companies of each nominee for election are set forth herein under the section entitled “Information Regarding the Class III Director Nominees for Election to the Board.”
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE BEST PRACTICES
| | THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU VOTE FOR THE ELECTION OF EACH OF THE CLASS III DIRECTOR NOMINEES TO THE BOARD. |
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE BEST PRACTICES
BOARD OF DIRECTORS Our business and affairs are managed under the direction of the Board which is the Company’s ultimate decision-making body, other than those matters reserved for the Company’s shareholders. The Board also oversees the Company’s business strategy and planning, as well as the performance of the Company’s management in executing the Company’s business strategy, assessing and managing risks and managing the Company’s day-to-day operations. The size of the Board may be fixed from time to time by our Board as provided in our Bye-laws. The Board currently consists of ten directors. See “―Election and Classification of Directors.” ELECTION AND CLASSIFICATION OF DIRECTORS Two Class III directors will be elected at this year’s Annual General Meeting. The Class III directors elected at the Annual General Meeting will serve until the annual general meeting of shareholders to be held in 2028 when each such director’s successor is duly elected and qualified, or any such director’s earlier death, disability, disqualification, resignation or removal. In accordance with our Bye-laws, the Board is divided into three classes, Class I, Class II and Class III, with members of each class serving staggered three-year terms. At each annual general meeting of shareholders, upon the expiration of the term of a class of directors, the successor to each such director in the class will be elected to serve for a three-year term until the third annual general meeting following his or her election and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified, in accordance with the Bye-laws. Any additional directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors will be distributed among the three classes so that, as nearly as possible, each class will consist of one-third of the directors. For information regarding the applicable voting standards for the election of directors, see the section entitled “Information About the Annual General Meeting and Voting—What is the voting requirement to approve each of the proposals?” The Board believes that a stable and consistent Board that understands the Company is vital to its transformation and growth. The classified board, a feature of corporate governance that has been common for nearly a century, provides enhanced continuity and stability in the Board’s oversight of the implementation of the Company’s strategy. During this period of transformation and growth, two-thirds of the directors will have had prior experience and familiarity with oversight of the Company’s business and affairs while still annually providing an opportunity for the election of one-third of the Board with new or continuing directors. This structure enables the Board to build on past experience and plan for the transformation and turnaround during a reasonable period into the future. Further, a classified board encourages a long-term focus in overseeing the management of the strategy, business and affairs of the Company, and allows our directors to focus their attention on long-term shareholder value. If directors were up for election every year, they could feel pressure to generate short-term returns, which could be counter-productive in an environment where the Company is focused on a multi-year transformation strategy. A classified board also fosters board independence as independent board members are provided with time to cultivate an understanding of the Company’s business and operations, making them less reliant on management’s perspective. In addition to providing stability among the directors, a classified board helps the Company attract and retain highly qualified individuals willing to commit the time and resources necessary to understand the Company and its management, operations and competitive environment. In addition, in the event that the Company becomes subject to an unsolicited takeover proposal, a classified board permits greater time and a more orderly process for directors to consider any takeover bids and to explore all alternatives to maximize shareholder value. A classified board also makes it more likely that persons who may seek to acquire control of the Company will initiate such action through negotiations with the Board. By reducing the threat of an abrupt change in the composition of the entire Board, classification of directors provides the Board with an adequate opportunity to fulfill its duties to the Company’s shareholders to review any takeover proposal, study appropriate alternatives and act in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. As a result of these factors, the Board has determined that maintaining a classified Board is in the best interests of the Company, its shareholders, clients and employees at this time. BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOLLOWING THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING Subject to the election of the nominees for Class III directors set forth in Proposal 1, the following table sets forth information regarding individuals who will serve as members of the Board following the Annual General Meeting.

QUALIFICATIONS In considering candidates for the Board of Directors, the Governance and Nominating Committee takes into account the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines and all other factors deemed appropriate by the Governance and Nominating Committee. The Board seeks members from diverse professional backgrounds who combine a broad spectrum of experience and expertise with a reputation for integrity. The Governance and Nominating Committee will recommend to the Board appropriate criteria for the selection of new directors in accordance with New York Stock Exchange listing standards and based on the strategic needs of the Company and the Board. In evaluating suitability of director candidates and when considering whether to nominate a director for re-election as appropriate, the Governance and Nominating Committee and the Board take into account many factors as approved by the Board from time to time, such as general understanding of various business disciplines (e.g., finance, technology), tenure on the Company’s Board, experience in the Company’s business (reinsurance/ insurance), educational and professional background, analytical ability, independence, diversity of experience, viewpoints and backgrounds, willingness to devote adequate time to Board duties and ability to act in and represent the balanced best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole, rather than special constituencies. In selecting directors, the Board requires a highly experienced diverse candidate pool for all director searches and evaluates a nominee’s experience, gender, race, age, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, skills and other qualities. The Board evaluates each director candidate in the context of the Board as a whole with the objective of retaining a group that is best equipped to help ensure the Company’s success and represent shareholders’ interests through sound judgment. The Governance and Nominating Committee periodically reviews the criteria adopted by the Board and, if deemed desirable, recommends to the Board changes to such criteria. Our Board exhibits the right skills to constructively challenge management and guide us on our strategy. The chart below highlights the skills and experience of each our highly qualified directors.

| II. | EXECUTIVE SUMMARY |
2024 DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
2024 Performance Highlights 2024 is the second full year of performance of Mr. Egan and his leadership team. The Company has experienced a successful turnaround of the business starting from Mr. Egan’s appointment in September 2022 through 2023, and has continued to build on this foundation in 2024. The Company delivered an exceptionally strong set of financial results in 2024, with much improved underwriting and investment performance. All three earnings engines outperformed in 2024 delivering an underwriting profit for the Core Business of $200 million (up 34% versus fiscal year 2023 excluding loss portfolio transfers or “LPTs”); 100% owned A&H managing general agents (“MGAs”); net service fee income was $42 million (up 36% versus fiscal year 2023) with carrying book value of $89 million; net investment income was $304 million which was ahead of plan. The Company’s major performance accomplishments of 2024 included, but are not limited to, the following:*
2024 DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
| ● | FY24 Core combined ratio of 91% which is a 2-point improvement (excluding LPTs) driven by 4-points of attritional loss ratio improvement on prior year. |
2024 DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
| ● | Strong continuing lines gross premium written growth of 21% in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024 contributed to overall growth of 10% on prior year. This resulted in the ninth consecutive quarter of positive underwriting result and targeted growth. |
2024 DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
| ● | Good stewardship of capital, with a relentless focus on value creation. The repurchase transaction with CM Bermuda which closed on February 27, 2025 simplified the shareholder and governance structure, while reducing volatility in the income statement from legacy financial instruments. The agreement was immediately accretive to book value per share and meaningfully accretive to our earnings per share and return on equity (“ROE”) metrics. |
2024 DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
| ● | Continued prudent approach to reserving and managing volatility resulted in 15 consecutive quarters of favorable prior year development, surpassing insurance reserves liability duration of 3 years. The company managed through Hurricane Milton and the California wildfires with estimated losses of $40 |
2024 DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
| million and $60 to $70 million respectively and were shielded from deterioration by a retrocession program. |
2024 DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
| ● | Strong capital position and healthy balance sheet producing target returns, underlying ROE in fiscal year 2024 of 14.6% and diluted book value per share up 10% on prior year to $14.64. |
2024 DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
*Note: Certain of these compensation performance metrics are non-GAAP financial measures. Please see Appendix A for our calculation of these measures and a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Additional 2024 strategic business highlights include the following:
2024 DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
| ● | The business has continued on its path to simplification with the ongoing rationalization of MGA equity stakes down to 20 from 36. The deconsolidation of Arcadian Risk Capital Ltd. has also been completed with no future impact to net income. The capital structure has also been simplified through $400 million debt re-financing, $994 million CMIG shareholder transactions and $115 million debt retirement. |
2024 DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
| ● | The foundations of the business have been further strengthened through reducing volatility. The team have increased the mix from Specialty, MGA and A&H while reducing the Property mix from 22% to 14% of the portfolio. 3 LPTs have been delivered covering $2.1 billion of reserves, removing risk from exited businesses with more than 95% limit remaining on all LPTs. |
2024 DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
| ● | The team have focused on profitability and delivering strong ROE with medium term ROE target increasing for two successive years. FY24 underlying ROE of 14.6% is at the upper end of the across the cycle target range of 12-15%. |
2024 DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
| ● | We have built upon the significant changes made to the executive leadership team and the senior leadership team, bringing in further outstanding high-caliber leaders in key areas such as Underwriting, Pricing, Actuarial and Claims. |
2024 DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
| ● | Our culture has continued to evolve and has been a key leadership priority since we believe a healthy, performance-oriented culture will help us to attract and retain the right people and incentivize our team to keep delivering on our promises to our stakeholders. This is bearing fruit as we continue to attract high-caliber individuals to our business. Building on the very clear Purpose, Vision, and Values that were delivered in 2023 we have built a set of leadership principles to guide and fuel outstanding leadership to deliver our aspirations. |
2024 DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
| ● | We continued to see improved employee engagement in 2024, as evidenced in employee engagement survey results. |
2024 DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
| ● | Listening groups are a key feature of our culture and we regularly get together with cross-functional employee groups at all locations to hear what is on their minds and ideas for improving our business and have a track record of taking action off the back of these sessions. |
2024 DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
These accomplishments provide context for the compensation decisions taken for the performance year 2024. Our focus for 2025 is to build on last year’s progress, retain our underwriting-first approach,and to move the business forward to ultimately becoming best-in-class in the future. For further information regarding the Company’s financial performance in the year ended December 31, 2024, please refer to our Form 10-K filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on February 21, 2025. SiriusPoint’s 2024 Compensation Highlights The Company’s 2024 executive compensation program was designed to promote our pay-for-performance philosophy, with a significant majority of our NEOs’ direct compensation delivered in the form of at-risk, variable compensation (in the form of both short-term cash incentives and long-term equity incentives), as well as our commitment to sound corporate governance and proper risk-management. The 2024 program was designed to be aligned with the interests of our shareholders by tying executive compensation to metrics that we believe support the creation of long-term shareholder value. The Compensation Committee reviews and evaluates the performance and compensation of our NEOs annually, assessing performance in relation to our strategic, operational and financial performance. In designing the 2024 program, the Compensation Committee reviewed the short-term incentive (“STI”) and long-term incentive (“LTI”) structures that were put in place in 2023, and determined that they remained appropriate for driving the desired performance outcomes in 2024. The STI and LTI plans are as follows:
2024 DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
| ● | The STI plan is made up of two components: Core Combined Ratio (70%) and Strategic Objectives (30%). Importantly nothing can become payable under the STI plan unless a threshold of Core Combined Ratio performance is delivered. This clearly underpins the philosophy of “underwriting first” that has been developed and implemented at SiriusPoint to drive a clear business focus on underwriting results. |
2024 DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
| ● | The LTI plan is made up of a combination of an award of a number of performance based restricted stock units (“PSUs”)and time-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”), with 75% of annual awards being granted as PSUs and 25% as RSUs. The vesting of PSUs is 100% driven by the growth of net book value per share over a compound 3-year period, and the RSUs are designed to be a retentive factor alongside the performance driven factor. |
2024 DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
Full details of the plans can be found in later sections of this report, and these plans are considered as fundamental driving platforms to support the drive to build a high performance oriented culture. The Compensation Committee also reviewed the Shareholding Requirements Policy for the NEOs and other members of the Executive Leadership Team, and changes were made to take effect from January 1, 2025. The revised policy is outlined below. The Compensation Committee also considered a Risk Review of performance and compensation outcomes as part of its determination of the incentive plan results for the year. PAY-FOR-PERFORMANCE ALIGNMENT The performance culture at SiriusPoint is a defining feature of how we run our business and our remuneration approach and incentive plan operation are critical in supporting and sustaining this culture. Our executive compensation program is designed to be aligned with the interests of our shareholders and to create long term shareholder value. The Compensation Committee reviews and evaluates the performance of our NEOs annually, assessing performance in relation to the Company’s strategic, operational and financial performance over both the short and long term. The Compensation Committee sets challenging targets for all performance-based compensation to further align executive compensation with the long-term interests of the Company’s shareholders. We believe that in fiscal year 2024 the business performance and resultant impact on executive compensation were very much aligned with the delivery of strong shareholder returns:
2024 DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
| ● | Base salaries for NEOs were increased by 4% between 2023 and 2024. |
2024 DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
| ● | In light of the financial results outlined above, the overall Company bonus pool was funded at 151.3% of target. Once the overall Company bonus pool is determined what is actually paid out of the STI plan is determined by an assessment of performance, and as a result, the NEOs’ bonus levels vary. |
2024 DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
| ● | Long-term incentives were granted in 2024 in the form of PSUs where vesting is contingent on company performance measures being achieved (75% weighting) and RSUs where vesting is subject to continuous service (25% weighting). The target LTI opportunities for NEOs reflect market practice, their experience and performance, retention considerations and their employment agreements. |
2024 DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
These outcomes are discussed more fully in the report. In determining the Company’s operating plan for fiscal year 2025, as agreed to by the Board, the Compensation Committee determined to strengthen the incentive targets for 2025. The Core Combined Ratio target in the STI plan was strengthened from 92.9% to 91.3%, with a range from 96.0% at threshold to 88.3% at maximum. We align the STI plan with our shareholders interests with modest payments being made at threshold and maximum payments being made only at a exceptionally strong level of COR combined ratio.

SUMMARY OF OUR EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PRACTICES
| VIII. | ANNUAL CASH INCENTIVE PAY |
SUMMARY OF OUR EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PRACTICES
The primary purpose of annual cash incentive pay is to reward executive performance during the year based upon the achievement of business and individual goals. Performance metrics are set based on the short-term measures that the Compensation Committee deems necessary to achieve operational success. The performance metrics are periodically reviewed and adjusted, where required, in the Compensation Committee’s judgment. Annual Cash Incentive Plan for 2024 Each of the NEOs, participated in our annual cash incentive plan (the “Annual Incentive Plan”) pursuant to which they were eligible to receive a cash incentive award based primarily on company performance during the year. The total cash incentive pool for the 2024 Annual Incentive Plan was calculated by applying the actual results of the financial metric, weighted at 70%, and the strategic metrics, weighted at 30%. The financial and strategic metrics for the 2024 Annual Incentive Plan were intended to motivate continued progress with the turnaround of the business. For 2024, the Compensation Committee used one financial performance metric (Core combined ratio) to incentivize all leaders and colleagues to focus on profitability and the achievement of a shared goal. The Compensation Committee selected Core combined ratio as the sole financial performance metric under the 2024 Annual Incentive Plan because the Compensation Committee believes it effectively measures the profitability of the Company’s business. The Core combined ratio metric is commonly used by industry peer companies to measure performance and the value created through effective underwriting. The 2024 Core combined ratio goal was designed to be challenging but achievable with strong management performance. The strategic objectives listed in the table below were deemed critical to establishing a strong foundation for the future direction and operation of the Company.
SUMMARY OF OUR EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PRACTICES
The Core combined ratio financial performance metric had a potential performance range of 50% at threshold to 200% at maximum for its 70% contribution (with no payout below threshold). The strategic objectives had a potential performance range of 0% to 100% of target for their 30% weighting (with no payouts if the Core combined ratio financial performance metric was below threshold). As a result, the maximum funding level of the Annual Incentive Plan was 170% of the aggregate target bonus amounts for all participants in the Annual Incentive Plan.
SUMMARY OF OUR EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PRACTICES
| 2024 Annual Cash Incentive Metrics | | | | | | | | | Annual Cash Incentive Performance Metrics | Threshold | Target | Maximum | Actual Result | Actual Payout as a % of Target | Weight | Bonus Pool Funding | | Core combined ratio(1) | 93.9% 50% payout (0% if greater than 93.9%) | 92.9% 100% payout if at target | <=89.9% 200% payout if equal to this target or lower | 91.0%(2) | 173.0% | 70.0% | 151.3% | | Strategic Goals | Not Met/Partial 0/50% payout cliff | | Fully Achieved 100% payout | See narrative below | 100.0% | 30.0% | |
SUMMARY OF OUR EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PRACTICES
| (2) The Company’s payout factor is determined based on Core combined ratio with an assumption of target incentive payout, which translates to 90.7%. |
SUMMARY OF OUR EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PRACTICES
The individual Annual Incentive Plan payments to the NEOs were determined by the Compensation Committee based on the target annual cash incentive opportunity for each applicable NEO and the amount of the overall total cash incentive pool. These amounts could then be modified by the application of business unit/function and individual performance modifiers (as determined in the discretion of the Compensation Committee and the CEO based upon individualized performance goals set for each such NEO by the Compensation Committee in March 2024), as illustrated below: In February 2025, the Compensation Committee reviewed the Company’s performance for the 2024 fiscal year, and determined that the Company’s Core combined ratio was 91%, resulting in a payout factor of 173% of target for the financial performance metric. The Compensation Committee also assessed the Company’s progress with respect to the six Company-wide strategic objectives approved in February 2024. Within each area, potential actions were identified for management to pursue. In February 2025, the Compensation Committee assessed performance as summarized below. Based on this discussion, the Compensation Committee determined that the strategic goals metric was achieved at 100% of target.
SUMMARY OF OUR EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PRACTICES
(1) “ROTE” refers to return on tangible equity and is calculated as the Company’s net income for the period over the average tangible equity available to common shareholders. The Compensation Committee also considered a report from the Chief Risk Officer to consider if any downward adjustment to the funding or individual awards should be made for risk-related items. After considering the Chief Risk Officer’s report, the Compensation Committee concluded that the scoring of the components of the plan were appropriate, and there were no factors that warranted adjustment for risk-related items. The chart below sets forth our participating NEOs’ target annual cash incentive opportunities under the 2024 Annual Incentive Plan and the actual cash incentive paid to each such NEO who was entitled to receive a bonus payment under the Annual Incentive Plan for fiscal year 2024. For 2024, each of these NEOs had an annual cash incentive target opportunity that was expressed as a percentage of the NEO’s year-end base salary. The actual annual incentive payout for each NEO was determined by the application of business unit/function and individual performance modifiers (as determined in the discretion of the Compensation Committee and, for Messrs McKinney, Govrin, and Gibbs, the CEO, based upon individualized performance goals set for Messrs. Egan, Govrin, and Gibbs by the Compensation Committee in March 2024 and for Mr. McKinney at the time of his hiring) to the target annual cash incentive opportunity. As a result, different levels of payout were allocated to each NEO. The annual cash incentive target opportunities were determined by the Compensation Committee based on seniority, role and responsibilities within the Company, experience level, and competitive market data.

| IX. | LONG-TERM INCENTIVES |
SUMMARY OF OUR EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PRACTICES
| ● | LTIs aim to provide balance to a short-term performance focus. Executives should be focused on achievement of the Company’s long-term strategic objectives. Through LTIs, we encourage executives to drive strong Company performance over the long term. |
SUMMARY OF OUR EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PRACTICES
| ● | LTI awards should reflect market-competitive compensation levels. Individual grants vary based on individual performance, which reward individual achievement as well as long-term corporate performance. |
SUMMARY OF OUR EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PRACTICES
| ● | The mix of LTIs will vary by role and level in the Company to balance retention, the drive for long-term growth in shareholder value and the individual’s ability to contribute to value creation. |
SUMMARY OF OUR EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PRACTICES
| ● | The Company may use a variety of incentive awards from year to year to deliver LTIs. |
SUMMARY OF OUR EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PRACTICES
| ● | Our LTI program provides for annual long-term incentive grants with overlapping vesting schedules and performance cycles to incentivize and promote retention of employees and executives. |
SUMMARY OF OUR EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PRACTICES
Grant Timing Policy The Compensation Committee and senior management monitor the Company’s equity grant policies to evaluate whether such policies comply with applicable law and are consistent with good corporate practices. Grants to the executive officers are generally made at the Compensation Committee meeting held in April of each year, after results for the preceding fiscal year become available and after review and evaluation of each executive officer’s performance, which enables the Compensation Committee to consider both the prior year’s performance and expectations for the succeeding year in making grant decisions. The Compensation Committee does not take material nonpublic information into account when determining the timing and terms of equity awards, and the Company does not time the disclosure of such material nonpublic information for purposes of affecting the exercise price of such awards or the value of executive compensation. We did not grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, or similar option-like instruments during 2024 and do not currently intend to grant those types of awards to our directors and senior management as part of our compensation program. Long-Term Incentives Awarded in 2024 In 2024, the Compensation Committee granted LTI awards to each of our NEOs under the 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan pursuant to the program design described below. 75% of the awards were granted in the form of PSUs and 25% in the form of RSUs. The Compensation Committee designed the LTI awards for 2024 to achieve various objectives:
SUMMARY OF OUR EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PRACTICES
| Element | Key Metrics | Features | | PSUs | ● Vesting subject to the achievement of targets based on the Compound annual growth rate of the Company’s tangible net book value per share (“NBVPS”) between December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2026, and continued service | ● Provides alignment with shareholders ● 3-year cliff vesting period ● Fosters retention | | RSUs | ● Vesting subject to continued service over a 3-year period following the grant date | ● Provides alignment with shareholders ● 3-year tranche vesting period (vests in equal tranches after years 1, 2, and 3) ● Fosters retention |
2024 PSUs
2024 PSUs In 2024, PSUs were granted subject to cliff-vesting at the end of a three-year performance period (beginning December 31, 2023, and ending December 31, 2026) based upon compound annual growth rate of the Company’s tangible NBVPS during the performance period, as set forth below:
2024 PSUs
| 2024-26 PSUs | Below “Threshold” Levels of Performance | “Threshold” Levels of Performance | “Target” Levels of Performance | “Maximum” Levels of Performance | | Compound Annualized Growth Rate in tangible NBVPS(1) | below 7% | 7% | 9% | 11% | | Vesting level (% of target opportunity)(2) | 0% | 50% | 100% | 200% |
2024 PSUs
| (1) Tangible NBVPS compound annualized growth rate will be calculated subject to standard adjustments for currency and exchange rates, accounting changes, and dividend and capital payments, and also excludes certain selected legacy investments disposed of by the Company prior to December 31, 2024. |
2024 PSUs
| (2) For performance between the levels shown in the table, the vesting level will be determined using linear interpolation. |
2024 PSUs
The Compensation Committee determined to award long-term incentives in the form of PSUs in order to align with market practice and to create a more direct alignment between pay and performance.
2024 RSUs
2024 RSUs The Compensation Committee believes that time-based RSUs align the interests of our NEOs with the interests of our shareholders through the Company’s share price performance, and also fosters retention of our NEOs as they vest ratably over a three-year period. Time-vesting RSUs granted to our NEOs in April 2024 will vest in equal annual installments on the first three anniversaries of the grant date, subject to each NEO’s continued employment through each vesting date, with the last one-third of such awards becoming fully vested in April 2027. 2024 TARGET LONG-TERM INCENTIVE AWARD OPPORTUNITIES Mr. McKinney was not employed at the time the Compensation Committee established the 2024 target LTI awards and was granted awards of PSUs and RSUs in connection with his hiring. Messrs. Egan, Govrin, Gibbs, and Yendall have target incentive opportunities outlined in their respective employment agreements and offer letters, as applicable, and using these targets the Compensation Committee established the 2024 target LTI award opportunity for each of these NEOs after considering the following:
2024 RSUs
| ● | A competitive market analysis of each NEO’s total compensation and the portion of total compensation provided as LTIs, relative to similar roles at companies in our Peer Group; |
2024 RSUs
| ● | The Company’s and each NEO’s individual performance and their expected future contributions; and |
2024 RSUs
| ● | The NEO’s level of experience in their role. |
2024 RSUs
Awards under our long-term incentive program which were made to our NEOs in April 2024 (other than Mr. McKinney, whose awards were granted in connection with his hiring), are reflected in the table below.
2024 RSUs
| | | Number of Units Granted in 2024 | | | NEO | 2024 Total Grant Value ($) | RSUs | PSUs (at target) | | Scott Egan | 4,004,002 | 80,791 | 242,373 | | James J.

2024 RSUs
| (1) Mr. McKinney was not employed with the Company as of April 2024. Mr. McKinney was granted 74,111 PSUs and 24,704 RSUs on June 3, 2024. |
2024 RSUs
| (2) In connection with the terms of his termination on June 7, 2024, Mr. Yendall will vest into the portion of RSUs set to vest in April 2025 (7,011), and he forfeited the remainder of the RSUs granted to him in 2024 at the time of his termination. Mr. Yendall remains eligible to vest in a pro-rated portion of the target PSUs he was granted in 2024 based on the number of days he worked in 2024 (2,335) and the actual performance of the Company achieved during the performance period. |
2024 RSUs
In February 2025, the Compensation Committee approved the grant of 2025 annual LTI awards for NEOs and other critical leaders to be delivered 75% in the form of PSUs and 25% in the form of RSUs, as was done in 2024. The performance factor for the PSUs is three-year tangible NBVPS performance.
2024 RSUs
| X. | OTHER BENEFITS AND PERQUISITES |
2024 RSUs
Other Benefits The Company provides health and welfare plans, such as medical coverage and life and disability insurance, in line with applicable market conditions and applicable law. We believe these health and welfare plans help ensure that the Company has a productive and focused workforce through reliable and competitive health and other benefits. The Company also maintains defined contribution benefit plans that provide eligible employees with an opportunity to save for retirement. For eligible US employees, the Company maintains a 401(k) plan under which the Company provides matching contributions of up to 6% of eligible compensation. For eligible UK employees, the Company maintains a defined contribution pension plan pursuant to which the Company contributes up to 12% of annual salary for eligible employees or, for UK employees who have paid the maximum amount into this plan (in line with either the lifetime allowance or the annual allowance), the Company will pay the remainder of the 12% employer pension contribution to the individual in cash via payroll as a pension supplement). For eligible Canadian employees, the Company maintains a Retirement Savings Plan pursuant to which the Company contributes up to 12% of annual salary for eligible employees. For eligible Bermudian employees, the Company maintains a defined contribution plan pursuant to which the Company contributes an amount equal to 10% of each participating employee’s annual base salary. We annually review the level of employee benefits provided to NEOs and believe that the employee benefits provided are reasonable and consistent with market practices in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The NEOs are eligible to participate in the health and welfare and defined contribution plans during employment on the same basis as all other employees, subject to applicable tax and other limits on contributions. In lieu of participating in the Company’s Bermudian defined contribution plan, following his relocation to Bermuda, Mr. Egan instead receives a cash payment equal to 12% of his base salary per month, based on the terms of his Bermuda employment agreements. Certain additional NEOs have received cash retirement benefits provided outside of the Company’s retirement plans as described in further detail under “Compensation Tables — 2024 Summary Compensation Table” below. Perquisites The Company provides customary additional benefits to certain expatriate employees working outside of their home country, including each of our expatriate NEOs, to better enable the Company to attract and retain key employees. The purpose of these benefits is to support the additional costs of living abroad, and neutralize the impact of additional taxation as a result of compensation for additional housing and transportation expenses, such that the income is rationalized with the income that such employees would earn as employees in their native countries. These additional benefits are as follows:
2024 RSUs
| ● | HOUSING EXPENSES. Given the unique challenges of the Bermuda market, including travel to and from the island and the cost of living and maintaining a residence, in connection with Mr. Egan’s Company required relocation to Bermuda, during 2024, the Company provided Mr. Egan with certain relocation and housing benefits, which we believe are customary for executives relocating to Bermuda. These benefits include an annual housing allowance. |
2024 RSUs
| ● | TAX EXPENSES. To the extent the Company’s reimbursement of an expatriate NEO’s housing or travel expenses are deemed to be taxable income to the expatriate NEO, the Company reimburses the expatriate NEO for any home country taxes payable on the additional income. The Company also pays the employee portion of Bermuda payroll taxes and social insurance for our expatriate NEOs. |
2024 RSUs
| ● | TAX PREPARATION EXPENSES. Due to the additional complexities associated with the taxation of expatriate NEO benefits, the Company reimburses expatriate executives’ tax preparation expenses, up to reasonable limits per annum. |
2024 RSUs
| XI. | EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS AND SEPARATION AGREEMENT WITH NEOs |
2024 RSUs
We are party to an employment agreement or offer letter agreement with each of the NEOs, and in the case of Mr. Yendall, we were party to an offer letter with him during his employment and entered into a separation agreement with him in connection with his termination. We believe that such arrangements provide retentive value, and provide us with a competitive advantage in the recruiting process. Generally speaking, the arrangements describe the basic terms of the NEO’s employment, including his or her start date, starting salary, annual incentive target, and long-term incentive target award. The terms of these arrangements are more fully discussed below under “2024 Potential Payments Upon Termination or a Change in Control.” On May 21, 2024, the Company entered into an offer letter with Mr. McKinney. Pursuant to the offer letter, Mr. McKinney is entitled to receive (a) base salary at the annual rate of $625,000, (b) a target annual bonus opportunity of 100% of his base salary, and (c) an annual long-term incentive award having a target grant-date value equal to 200% of his base salary, to be provided in forms of awards no less favorable than those granted to other members of senior management. The offer letter also provides that Mr. McKinney can participate in all of the Company’s retirement, health and welfare, and other benefit plans which are provided to similarly situated senior executives of the Company in the United States. Mr. McKinney is subject to certain restrictive covenants, including perpetual confidentiality, and non-compete and employee and customer non-solicitation covenants during the term of employment and for six months thereafter.

| XII. | OTHER COMPENSATION PRACTICES AND POLICIES |
2024 RSUs
Share Ownership Guidelines The Company has adopted share ownership guidelines pursuant to the Director and Executive Share Ownership Policy to further align the economic interests of our directors and executive officers (“Designated Individuals”) with the interests of our shareholders. To accomplish this, Designated Individuals are expected not only to receive equity-based compensation but also to maintain a significant long-term equity interest in the Company. The table below summarizes the guidelines:
2024 RSUs
| POSITION | SHARE OWNERSHIP REQUIREMENT | SHARES COUNTED TOWARD GUIDELINES | TIME PERIOD TO ACHIEVE | RETENTION REQUIREMENTS | | Chief Executive Officer | 5x base salary | ● Shares owned outright ● Performance shares, upon vesting ● Restricted shares, upon vesting | Individuals subject to this policy have five years from the date of eligibility to meet the minimum ownership requirements. | Must retain 50% of net shares issued upon exercise of share options or vesting of share awards until guidelines are achieved. | | Other Executive Officers | 3x base salary | | | | | Independent Directors | 3x annual cash retainer | | | |
2024 RSUs
Clawback Policy We have implemented an Executive Compensation Clawback Policy, that is applicable to all current and former Section 16 officers (“Covered Executive”), including our CEO. In the event of a restatement of the Company’s financial results, this policy authorizes the Company, through the Compensation Committee, to recover any portion of incentive compensation paid or awarded to such Covered Executive during the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the date on which the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement. The amount to be recovered will be the excess of the incentive compensation paid to the Covered Executive based on the erroneous data over the incentive compensation that would have been paid to the Covered Executive had it been based on the restated results, as determined by the Board. In 2023, the Company’s Executive Compensation Clawback Policy was updated to conform to the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the NYSE listing standards. The policy was further amended in 2024 to permit the clawback of certain short-term and long-term incentive compensation, as well as to permit adjustments to awards already made but not yet paid, in the event of serious or gross misconduct on the part of the executive. During fiscal year 2024, there were no events that triggered a right to a clawback or recoupment from any of our Covered Executives. Insider Trading Policy The Company has adopted an insider trading policy which governs the purchase, sale and other dispositions of the Company’s securities and applies to directors, officers, and employees. The Company believes that its insider trading policy is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and listing standards applicable to the Company. Hedging and Pledging Our Insider Trading Policy prohibits our employees and directors from directly or indirectly engaging in any hedging or monetization transactions (such as prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars and exchange funds) with respect to Company shares. No exceptions are allowed for such transactions under the Trading Policy. Pledging of Company shares (such as collateral for a loan, including through the use of traditional margin accounts with a broker) is also prohibited under our policy. No NEO has pledged the Company’s shares. Role of the Compensation Committee The Compensation Committee is responsible for reviewing and approving the compensation of our executive officers and directors, authorizing employment and related agreements regarding executive officers, and authorizing and ratifying equity grants and other incentive arrangements. In addition, the Compensation Committee reviews the Company’s strategy regarding human capital management, including diversity and talent and CEO Succession planning. It has the ability to appoint independent compensation consultants to provide it with relevant information and advice to inform its decision-making. Our CEO makes compensation recommendations to the Compensation Committee with respect to our NEOs, other than himself, including recommendations for salary adjustments, annual cash incentives and long-term incentive awards for review, feedback, and approval. Role of the Compensation Consultant Mercer, the Compensation Committee’s independent compensation consultant, reports directly to the Compensation Committee. Mercer’s advisory services primarily include:
2024 RSUs
| ● | Providing expert input on industry trends, as well as executive compensation developments from a broader perspective; |
2024 RSUs
| ● | Assessing the extent to which our pay levels and practices are competitively aligned with market practice; and |
2024 RSUs
| ● | Facilitating objective, data-based compensation decisions in succession and annual pay planning processes. |
2024 RSUs
The Committee retains sole authority to hire the compensation consultant, approve its compensation, determine the nature and scope of its services, evaluate its performance, and terminate and replace (or supplement) its engagement with an alternative consultant at any time. The Committee has assessed the independence of the compensation consultant pursuant to the listing standards of the NYSE and SEC rules and concluded that no conflict of interest exists that would prevent the compensation consultant from serving as an independent consultant to the Committee. Compensation Risk Assessment The Compensation Committee assessed our compensation policies and practices to evaluate whether they create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. Based on its assessment, the Compensation Committee concluded that the Company’s compensation policies and practices, in conjunction with the Company’s existing processes and controls, do not create incentives to take risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Outstanding Equity Awards
Outstanding Equity Awards Under the 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan and the 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan, and applicable award agreements, the NEOs’ outstanding equity awards will be treated as follows in connection with certain terminations as described below. As a result of death or disability: 1. The unvested RSUs (excluding Mr. Govrin’s 2022 RSUs) that are set to vest on the next scheduled vesting date will vest on such date. All other unvested RSUs (excluding Mr. Govrin’s 2022 RSUs) are forfeited on the date of termination. 2. If the termination is prior to the end of the performance period, the unvested PSUs will vest on a pro-rated basis based on target performance. 3. If the termination is after the end of the performance period, the unvested PSUs will vest based on actual performance. 4. Mr. Govrin’s unvested 2022 RSUs will be deemed fully vested on the date his termination.* 5. Mr. Govrin’s unvested stock options will be forfeited on the date of termination. Mr. Govrin will have 180 days to exercise his vested stock options. *Mr. Govrin’s 2022 RSUs will become fully vested in the event his employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (as defined in the 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan), if he resigns with Good Reason (as defined in the 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan), or if he voluntarily retires after October 31, 2025. Upon a termination of the NEO’s employment by the Company without cause or the resignation by the NEO with good reason in the 90 days prior to a change in control or 24 months following a change in control, subject to the NEO’s execution and non-revocation of a release of claims in favor of the Company, within 60 days of the termination, if applicable (as such terms are defined in the 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan and 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan): 1. All unvested RSUs will become fully vested on the date of termination (or, in the event of termination prior to a change in control, the change in control). 2. All unvested PSUs will vest on the effective date of the NEO’s termination of service (or, in the event of a termination prior to a change in control, the change in control) at the greater of target and actual performance achieved through the end of the fiscal quarter ending immediately prior to the change in control, and any remaining unvested PSUs will be forfeited. 3. Mr. Govrin’s unvested stock options will become fully vested and exercisable on the date of termination (or, in the event of a termination prior to a change in control, the change in Control). If awards are not assumed in connection with a change in control they will become fully vested upon the change in control, and in the case of stock options fully exercisable.

CEO PAY RATIO DISCLOSURE We believe that our executive compensation program must be consistent and internally equitable to motivate our employees to perform in ways that enhance shareholder value. We are committed to internal pay equity, and the Compensation Committee monitors the relationship between the pay of our executive officers and the pay of our non-executive employees. The following disclosure presents the ratio of total annual compensation for fiscal year 2024 for our CEO to that of the median of the total annual compensation for all other employees (other than our CEO) below. We identified our median employee, using base salary for fiscal year 2024 of each of our employees (excluding our CEO) employed as of December 31, 2024. This included our full-time, part-time, and seasonal employees. We believe that base salary is a reflective indicator of the total annual compensation of our employee population worldwide. We examined our internal payroll and similar records to determine the base salary paid to our employees, and ranked the base salary of all employees (excluding our CEO) from lowest to highest to determine our median employee. For employees in non-U.S. jurisdictions, we converted amounts paid in foreign currencies to U.S. dollars using the exchange rate of the applicable currency to the U.S. dollar on December 31, 2024. We annualized the base salary for each employee who began employment after the start of the fiscal year or who was on an unpaid leave of absence during the fiscal year. Upon identifying the median employee, we calculated total compensation for this individual using the same methodology we use for our NEOs as set forth in the 2024 Summary Compensation Table. For fiscal year 2024:

Potential Payments Upon a Qualifying Termination of Employment in Connection with a Change in Control(1)
Based on this information, for 2024 the reasonable estimated ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO, to the median employee (excluding our CEO) for fiscal year 2024 was approximately 104:1. PAY VERSUS PERFORMANCE The following information depicts the relationship between “compensation actually paid” to our principal executive officers (“PEOs”) and, as an average, to our other NEOs (“Non-PEO NEOs”), and certain financial performance measures, in each case, for our five most recently completed fiscal years. For further information concerning the Company’s variable pay-for-performance philosophy and how the Company aligns executive compensation with the Company’s performance, refer to “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” above.
