Explanation of Responses:
1. Marathon Special Opportunity Master Fund, Ltd. (the "Master Fund") and Marathon Special Opportunity Liquidating Fund, Ltd (the "Liquidating Fund" and together with the Master Fund, the "Funds") hold, in the aggregate, 5,794,677 common shares of Flagstone Reinsurance Holdings Limited (the "Company"). The reporting person is a director of the Company. The reporting person does not individually hold or otherwise beneficially own any securities of the Company. The reporting person is an employee of Marathon Asset Management, LP (formerly known as Marathon Asset Management, LLC, the "Investment Manager"), which serves as the investment manager of the Funds. The Funds own certain securities of the Company, all of which are subject to the sole voting and investment authority of the Investment Manager.
2. Thus, for the purposes of Reg. Section 240.13d-3, the Investment Manager is deemed to beneficially own the securities of the Company held by the Funds, and the reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities of the Company held by the Funds. The Investment Manager, in its capacity as the holder of sole voting and investment authority of more than 5% of the common shares of the Company pursuant to Reg. 13d-3, separately files statements pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The reporting person's interest in the securities reported herein is limited to the extent of his pecuniary interest in the Funds, if any.
