All forward-looking statements address matters that involve risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in such statements. This report may include forward-looking statements, both with respect to us and our industry, that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Statements that include the words “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “project,” “anticipate,” “will,” “may” and similar statements of a future or forward-looking nature identify forward-looking statements. We believe that these factors include, but are not limited to, the following: 1) unpredictability and severity of catastrophic events; 2) rating agency actions; 3) adequacy of our risk management and loss limitation methods;4) cyclicality of demand and pricing in the reinsurance market; 5) our limited operating history; 6) adequacy of our loss reserves; 7) continued availability of capital and financing; 8) retention of key personnel; 9) competition; 10) potential loss of business from one or more major reinsurance brokers; 11) our ability to implement, successfully and on a timely basis, complex infrastructure, distribution capabilities, systems, procedures and internal controls, and to develop accurate actuarial data to support the business and regulatory and reporting requirements; 12) general economic and market conditions (including inflation, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates); 13) the integration of Talbot or other businesses we may acquire; 14) acts of terrorism or outbreak of war; and 15) availability of retrocessional coverage.

The foregoing review of important factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included herein or elsewhere, including the Risk Factors contained in our latest form 10-K and our other filings under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. Any forward-looking statements made in this report are qualified by these cautionary statements, and there can be no assurance that the actual results or developments anticipated by us will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects on, us or our business or operations. We undertake no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.
