INFORMATION CONCERNING
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION 
This presentation includes statements about future economic performance, finances, expectations, plans and prospects of both IPC Holdings, Ltd. (“IPC”) and Max Capital Group Ltd.
(“Max”) that constitute forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements
are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including the risks described in the definitive  joint proxy statement/prospectus of IPC and Max that has been filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under “Risk Factors,” many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond the control of IPC and Max, that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by such statements. For further information regarding cautionary statements and factors affecting future results, please also
refer to the most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed subsequent to the Annual Report and other documents filed by each of IPC or Max, as
the case may be, with the SEC. Neither IPC nor Max undertakes any obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statement whether as a result of new information,
future developments or otherwise. 
This presentation contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements
about our beliefs, plans or expectations, are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on our current plans, estimates and expectations. Some forward-looking
statements may be identified by our use of terms such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “expects” and similar statements of a future or forward looking nature. In light of the
inherent risks and uncertainties in all forward-looking statements, the inclusion of such statements in this presentation should not be considered as a representation by us or any
other person that our objectives or plans will be achieved. A non-exclusive list of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in such forward-
looking statements includes the following: (a) the occurrence of natural or man-made catastrophic events with a frequency or severity exceeding our expectations; (b) the adequacy
of our loss reserves and the need to adjust such reserves as claims develop over time; (c) any lowering or loss of financial ratings of any wholly-owned operating subsidiary; (d) the
effect of competition on market trends and pricing; (e) changes in general economic conditions, including changes in interest rates and/or equity values in the United States of
America and elsewhere and continued instability in global credit markets; and (f) other factors set forth in the definitive joint proxy statement/prospectus of IPC and Max, the most
recent reports on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q and other documents of IPC or Max, as the case may be, on file with the SEC. Risks and uncertainties relating to the proposed transaction
include the risks that: the parties will not obtain the requisite shareholder or regulatory approvals for the transaction; the anticipated benefits of the transaction will not be realized;
and/or the proposed transactions will not be consummated. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date
on which they are made. We do not intend, and are under no obligation, to update any forward looking statement contained in this presentation. 
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROPOSED BUSINESS COMBINATION AND WHERE TO FIND IT: 
This presentation relates to a proposed business combination between IPC and Max. On May 7, 2009, IPC and Max filed with the SEC a definitive joint proxy statement/prospectus
of IPC and Max. This presentation is not a substitute for the definitive joint proxy statement/prospectus or any other document that IPC or Max may file with the SEC or send to their
respective shareholders in connection with the proposed transaction. INVESTORS AND SECURITY HOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ THE DEFINITIVE  JOINT PROXY
STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS AND ALL OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS FILED OR THAT WILL BE FILED WITH THE SEC AS THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY
CONTAIN OR WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROPOSED BUSINESS COMBINATION. All such documents, if filed, would be available free of charge
at the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov) or by directing a request to IPC, at Jim Bryce, President and Chief Executive Officer, or John Weale, Executive Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer, at 441-298-5100, in the case of IPC’s filings, or Max, at Joe Roberts, Chief Financial Officer, or Susan Spivak Bernstein, Senior Vice President, Investor Relations
at 441-295-8800, in the case of Max’s filings. 
PARTICIPANTS IN THE SOLICITATION: 
IPC and Max and their directors, executive officers and other employees may be deemed to be participants in any solicitation of IPC and Max shareholders, respectively, in
connection with the proposed business combination. 
Information about IPC’s directors and executive officers is available in the definitive joint proxy statement/prospectus filed with the SEC on May 7, 2009, relating to IPC’s 2009 annual
meeting of shareholders; information about Max’s directors and executive officers is available in the amendment to its annual report on Form-10K, filed with the SEC on April 1, 2009.

The

could
result
in
somewhat
lumpier
risk
concentrations
that
cannot
be
readily
discerned
by
looking solely at aggregate limits by geographic zones…
the proposed merger would lower Validus' asset quality,
potentially diminishing quality of capital, and raising effective catastrophe exposure
