Directors' Compensation For the year ended December 31, 2002, each non-employee director chairing a Board committee received 6 an annual retainer of $30,000 and each other non-employee director received an annual retainer of $25,000. In addition, each non-employee director received a fee of $1,000 for each Board and committee meeting attended, plus reimbursement of all customary expenses incurred in connection with attendance at Board and committee meetings. During the year ended December 31, 2002, each non-employee director also received a quarterly grant of $6,250 in the form of common share equivalents under the non-employee director deferred compensation plan for the first 3 quarters of the year and cash in that amount for the last quarter of the year. Each committee chairman received a quarterly grant of $7,500 in common share equivalents for the first 3 quarters of the year and cash in that amount for the last quarter of the year. The grants were made on the last business day of each calendar quarter. The common share equivalents were credited to each non-employee director's account based on the Trenwick common share price on the last business day of the calendar quarter. The common share equivalent accounts increased or decreased in value based upon the performance of Trenwick common shares, including any dividends paid thereon. Under Trenwick's non-employee director deferred compensation plan, non-employee directors were entitled to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of fees to be earned in the next succeeding year and have such fees accrue either (i) at the interest rate determined by the Compensation Committee or (ii) based upon the performance of Trenwick's common shares, including any dividends paid thereon. In December of 2002, Trenwick terminated the non-employee director deferred compensation plan and paid the non-employee directors the deferred amounts under the plan in the first quarter of 2003. Under the 2001 Equity Incentive Plan, each eligible director is granted an option for 1,000 common shares immediately following each Annual General Meeting. The options have a ten year term and an exercise price equal to the closing price for the Trenwick common shares on the date of grant. The options vest on the earlier of (a) the day before the next Annual General Meeting and (b) a change in control of Trenwick. Employment Contracts and Arrangements On August 26, 2002, Mr. Becker was elected to the position of Acting Chairman of the Board of Directors and Acting Chief Executive Officer pursuant to the terms of a letter agreement, entered into between Trenwick and Mr. Becker, dated August 26, 2002 and subsequently amended on March 25, 2003 (the "Becker Agreement"). Under the Becker Agreement, Mr. Becker is entitled to compensation from Trenwick for his services at a monthly rate of $50,000 through December 31, 2002 and $75,000, commencing January 1, 2003. In addition, under the Becker Agreement, Mr. Becker is entitled to a cash incentive bonus, in the aggregate amount of $600,000, payable in three installments of $200,000 on or before March 28, 2003 and on June 30 and December 31, 2003, provided his engagement has not been terminated prior to such date. In the event there is a "change in control" of Trenwick, the amount of cash incentive bonus not previously paid to Mr. Becker will become due and payable on the date of such change in control unless Mr. Becker's engagement has been terminated before such date. Trenwick has agreed under the Becker Agreement to indemnify Mr. Becker for claims, damages and liabilities resulting from his acts or omissions which are not found to be in bad faith or involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law. The Becker Agreement may be terminated by mutual agreement between Trenwick and Mr. Becker or 30 days following delivery of written notice of termination of the agreement by either Trenwick or Mr. Becker. Mr. Becker is subject to customary confidentiality provisions under the Becker Agreement. 7 In August 2002, Mr. James F. Billett, Jr. began a medical leave from his employment with Trenwick. On January 28, 2003, Trenwick and Mr. Billett entered into an agreement (the "Employment Separation Agreement") pursuant to which Trenwick and Mr. Billett agreed that Mr. Billett's employment was terminated effective on such date. In addition, Mr. Billett and Trenwick entered into post-employment release and waiver agreements. Pursuant to the terms of the Employment Separation Agreement, on February 7, 2003 Mr. Billett was paid (i) a lump sum cash separation payment of $2,175,000 reduced by $19,250, the gross amount of salary paid to Mr. Billett for the period from January 1, 2003 through January 28, 2003, (ii) $1,500,000 representing the settlement of a commitment under Mr. Billett's employment agreement to contribute $2,500,000 into a rabbi trust for the benefit of Mr. Billett, (iii) $193,733 in substitution for the value of three years of accrual under Trenwick's qualified retirement plans and the Trenwick America Corporation Unfunded Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan ("SERP"), (iv) $1,084,569 representing the settlement of Mr. Billett's SERP account, (v) $30,000 representing three years of financial and tax planning and (vi) $22,182 in substitution for coverage under Trenwick's group life insurance policy. The foregoing payments to Mr. Billett were offset against and reduced by $1,480,404, as repayment of the principal and accrued and unpaid interest through December 31, 2002 under the promissory note dated May 11, 2001. Trenwick also agreed to reimburse Mr. Billett for certain moving expenses (grossed up for any income taxes imposed on such amounts) and unreimbursed business expenses. Under the Employment Separation Agreement, Mr. Billett forfeited all outstanding unexercised options (whether vested or unvested) and all unvested restricted stock. Mr. Billett's participation under Trenwick's medical, dental and health insurance benefit plans ceased on January 28, 2003. Mr. Billett also agreed to a provision prohibiting the disclosure of any confidential information concerning Trenwick and a noncompetition clause which prohibits Mr. Billett from competing with Trenwick for two years. As is customary in the Bermuda marketplace, Trenwick's subsidiary LaSalle Re Limited ("LaSalle") has entered into employment contracts with certain of LaSalle's senior executives. The employment contracts generally provide for the payment of the executive's base salary for one to two years after the termination of the executive's employment with LaSalle without cause or by the executive as a result of a constructive discharge. In addition, the employment contracts generally provide for the provision of certain employee benefits following termination. The executives are required to comply with customary confidentiality and non-disparagement provisions and are subject to non-competition clauses for one to two years after their employment with LaSalle. In accordance with practices in the United Kingdom marketplace, Trenwick's subsidiaries Trenwick International Limited and Trenwick Managing Agents Limited have entered into employment arrangements with their senior executives providing that each of the employer and the employee must provide notice prior to termination of employment. Change in Control Arrangements Trenwick had entered into change in control agreements with each of its senior executives. Alan Hunte is the only remaining senior executive with such agreement, and the agreements with the other senior executives terminated when such senior executive's employment with Trenwick terminated. Mr. Hunte's change in control agreement provides that if, during a two year period following a change in control of Trenwick, Trenwick terminates Mr. 8 Hunte's employment without cause or disability, or Mr. Hunte terminates his employment for good reason, Mr. Hunte is entitled to the following: o two years' base salary; o a bonus in the year of termination; and o medical benefits and perquisites for two years. Mr. Hunte is subject to confidentiality and non-disparagement provisions and is subject to non-competition clauses for up to two years after his employment with Trenwick. Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation The current members of the Compensation Committee of the Board are Messrs. DeMichele, Dwyer and Sargent. No executive officer of Trenwick has served as a member of the compensation committee of any other entity whose executive officers served as a member of the Compensation Committee of the Board. In connection with the Trenwick Group Inc./Chartwell Re Corporation merger, Trenwick assumed Chartwell Re Corporation's rights and obligations under a registration rights agreement entered into in December 1995 by Chartwell Re Corporation, certain members of the Richardson family and certain of Chartwell Re Corporation's other stockholders. Pursuant to the registration rights agreement, upon the request of shareholders holding at least 330,000 of Trenwick's common shares or any security convertible into 330,000 Trenwick common shares, Trenwick must, subject to certain limited exceptions, use its best efforts to register such shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Trenwick is not obligated to effect more than one registration in any nine-month period or more than four during the term of the registration rights agreement. The Richardson family has the right to initiate two of the four registrations effected pursuant to the registration rights agreement. Trenwick must pay all registration expenses in connection with the four registrations except underwriting discounts and commissions and transfer taxes. If the registration is in the form of an underwritten offering, the shareholders holding a majority of the Trenwick common shares being registered pursuant to the registration may select the underwriters, subject to Trenwick's approval. Parties to the registration rights agreement have "piggyback" rights to register Trenwick common shares in connection with registration of equity securities by Trenwick. These rights are subject to limitation if the registration involves an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter determines that, in its good faith view, the inclusion of all or any portion of such additional securities in the registration would have a material adverse effect on the offering. Mr. DeMichele was originally designated by the Richardson family as its representative on the Board of Directors of Trenwick Group Inc. and currently acts as a financial advisor for certain members of the Richardson family. 9 Item 12.

Management Indebtedness With the approval of the Compensation Committee, Trenwick extended lines of credit in the principal amount of $2,250,000 to James F. Billett, Jr. and $400,000 to Alan L. Hunte. The lines of credit were payable upon demand and bore interest in 2001 on outstanding balances at the prime rate of interest until paid in full. Effective January 1, 2002, Trenwick and Messrs. Billett and Hunte agreed to amend the terms of the lines of credit. As amended, the lines of credit bear interest at the prime rate, which is currently 4.25%, and must be repaid in 5% increments on a quarterly basis over the five years. The largest aggregate amount of indebtedness outstanding under Mr. Billett's line of credit in 2002 was $1,480,404 as of December 31, 2002. The largest aggregate amount of indebtedness outstanding under Mr. Hunte's line of credit in 2002 was $409,513 (including accrued and unpaid interest) as of December 31, 2002. Mr. Billett's indebtedness was repaid in full in January 2003 under the terms of the Employment Separation Agreement as described above. The amount of Mr. Hunte's outstanding line of credit as of April 15, 2003 was $413,314 (including accrued and unpaid interest). The proceeds from loans made under the lines of credit have been used by Messrs. Billett and Hunte to fund earlier acquisitions of Trenwick's common shares. Registration Rights Agreement See Item 11- "Executive Compensation--Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation." Indemnification; Insurance Trenwick has agreed to indemnify its directors to the full extent permitted by Bermuda law, as it exists now and as it may be amended in the future to permit additional indemnification. Additionally, Trenwick has agreed to maintain directors' and officers' liability insurance coverage at least comparable to the coverage currently in place, unless such insurance is not reasonably available or if, in the Board of Directors' reasonable business judgment, either (i) the premium cost for such insurance is substantially disproportionate to the amount of insurance or (ii) the coverage is so limited by exclusions that there is insufficient benefit provided by such insurance. In the event Trenwick does not maintain such directors' and officers' liability insurance, it has agreed to indemnify the directors to the full extent of the coverage which would otherwise have been provided under such insurance. Trenwick has generally agreed to indemnify the former officers and directors of Chartwell Re Corporation in respect of acts or omissions occurring prior to the effective time of the Trenwick Group Inc./Chartwell Re Corporation merger (including, but not limited to, the transactions contemplated by the agreement pursuant to which the Trenwick Group Inc./Chartwell Re Corporation merger was effected) to the extent provided under Chartwell Re Corporation's certificate of incorporation and by-laws as in effect on the date of the merger agreement, in each case subject to any limitation imposed by applicable law. In addition, Trenwick agreed to maintain Chartwell Re Corporation's existing directors' and officers' liability 12 insurance for six years from the Trenwick Group Inc./Chartwell Re Corporation merger in October 1999, subject to certain limitations. Trenwick has also agreed to indemnify the present and former directors and officers of Trenwick Group Inc. and LaSalle Re Holdings Limited against liabilities arising out of the Trenwick Group Inc./LaSalle Re Holdings Limited business combination in September 2000. Subject to applicable Bermuda law and public policy, Trenwick will honor indemnification rights of the current and former directors and officers of Trenwick Group Inc., LaSalle Re Holdings Limited or any of their respective subsidiaries. In addition, Trenwick agreed to maintain, for all former and current directors and officers of Trenwick Group Inc., LaSalle Re Holdings Limited and their respective subsidiaries, the current directors' and officers' liability insurance, fiduciary liability insurance and indemnification policies maintained by Trenwick Group Inc. and LaSalle Re Holdings Limited for at least six years from the effective time of the Trenwick Group Inc./LaSalle Re Holdings Limited business combination. Reinsurance Transactions with CNA In the year ended December 31, 2002, Trenwick assumed premiums totaling approximately $1,165,000 from a ceding company related to CNA Financial Corporation. Absent CNA Financial Corporation's relationship with Trenwick and its predecessor company, LaSalle Re Holdings Limited, such transactions might not have taken place. The terms of these reinsurance transactions were negotiated between the parties and Trenwick believes that such terms were at market rates. Mr. Deutsch, a former director of Trenwick whose service on the Board terminated in May 2002, is the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of CNA Financial Corporation.
