Everest Group, Ltd. 69 Reinsurance business description Reinsurance Segment Our reinsurance segment writes worldwide property and casualty reinsurance and specialty lines of business on both a treaty, facultative and large corporate risk basis. Contracts can be written on a proportional ("pro-rata") or non-proportional ("excess of loss") basis. Pro-Rata contracts indemnify the reinsured for a percentage of losses in exchange for the same percentage of premium charged for the covered insurance contracts issued by the ceding company. Excess of loss ("XOL"), including stop loss, contracts indemnify the reinsured against a portion of losses related to specific claim event(s), generally subject to a deductible and a limit of coverage. Premiums collected for XOL contracts are not directly proportional to premiums collected by the reinsured. Property Pro Rata: Predominantly contracts providing coverage to cedents for property damage and related losses, which may include business interruption and other non-property losses, resulting from natural or man-made perils arising from their underlying portfolio of policies at an agreed upon percentage for both premium and loss. Property Non-Cat XOL: Predominantly contracts providing coverage to cedents for a portion of property damage and related losses, which may include business interruption and other non-property losses, resulting from natural or man-made perils in excess of an agreed upon deductible up to a stated limit. Property Cat XOL: Predominantly contracts providing coverage to cedents for a portion of property damage and related losses, which may include business interruption and other non-property losses, resulting from catastrophic losses, in excess of an agreed upon deductible up to a stated limit. The main perils covered include hurricane, earthquake, flood, convective storm and fire. Casualty Pro Rata: Predominantly contracts providing coverage to cedents for losses arising from, but not limited to, general liability, professional indemnity, product liability, workers' compensation, employers liability, aviation and auto liability from their underlying portfolio of policies at an agreed upon percentage for both premium and loss.
