Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

On June 28, 2006, Hub International Limited (“Hub”) issued 2,290,442 common shares in exchange for $35 million aggregate principal amount of 8.75% subordinated convertible debentures (the “Debentures”). Hub did not receive any cash consideration in connection with the issuance of common shares. The common shares were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration under section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as the common shares were issued to existing security holders in exchange for the Debentures, which were held by such existing security holders and no commission or other remuneration was paid or given directly or indirectly for soliciting the exchange. The Debentures were issued in June 2001 and were to have matured as of June 28, 2007. Under the terms of the Debentures, Hub had the right to cause the conversion of the Debentures at a price of C$17.00 per common share if the weighted average closing price of Hub’s common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange equaled or exceeded C$19.00 per share for 20 consecutive trading days preceding June 28, 2006.
