NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012

(Tabular information expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars except share and per share data)

(unaudited)

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Preparation and Consolidation

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have not been audited. These statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations as at the end of and for the periods presented. Results of operations for subsidiaries acquired are included from the dates of their acquisition by the Company. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year. Inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. In these notes, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” or “the Company” refer to Enstar Group Limited and its direct and indirect subsidiaries. The following information should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period reported amounts of net premiums earned—life and annuities, life and annuity policy benefits and losses and loss adjustment expenses to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on income or net earnings previously reported.

Significant New Accounting Policies

As a result of the acquisitions of SeaBright Holdings, Inc. (“SeaBright”), five companies from a subsidiary of HSBC Holdings plc (the “Pavonia companies”), and Arden Reinsurance Company Limited (“Arden”), each described in Note 2—“Acquisitions”, the Company has adopted certain new significant accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Other than the policies described below, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies from those described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

(a) Premium revenue recognition

Non-life run-off

Premiums written are earned on a pro-rata basis over the period the coverage is provided. Reinsurance premiums are recorded at the inception of the policy, unless policy language stipulates otherwise, and are estimated based upon information in underlying contracts and information provided by clients and/or brokers. Changes in reinsurance premium estimates are expected and may result in significant adjustments in future periods. These estimates change over time as additional information regarding changes in underlying exposures is obtained. Any subsequent differences arising on such estimates are recorded as premiums written in the period they are determined.

Unearned premiums represent the portion of premiums written that relate to the unexpired terms of policies in force. Premiums ceded are similarly pro-rated over the period the coverage is provided with the unearned portion being deferred as prepaid reinsurance premiums.

Certain contracts that the Company has written are retrospectively rated and additional premium will be due should losses exceed pre-determined, contractual thresholds. These required additional premiums are based upon

ENSTAR GROUP LIMITED

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES—(cont’d)

contractual terms and management judgment is involved with respect to the estimate of the amount of losses that the Company expects to be ceded. Additional premiums are recognized at the time loss thresholds specified in the contract are exceeded and are earned over the coverage period, or are earned immediately if the period of risk coverage has passed. Changes in estimates of losses recorded on contracts with additional premium features will result in changes in additional premiums based on contractual terms.

Life and annuities

The Pavonia companies, prior to going into run-off, wrote various U.S. and Canadian life insurance, including credit life and disability insurance, term life insurance, assumed life reinsurance and annuities. The Pavonia companies will continue to recognize premiums on term life insurance, assumed life reinsurance and credit life and disability insurance.

Premiums from term life insurance, credit life and disability insurance and assumed life reinsurance are generally recognized as revenue when due from policyholders. Term life, assumed life reinsurance and credit life and disability policies include those contracts with fixed and guaranteed premiums and benefits. Benefits and expenses are matched with such revenue to result in the recognition of profit over the life of the contracts.

(b) Premiums Receivable

Non-life run-off

Premiums receivable represent amounts currently due and amounts not yet due on insurance and reinsurance policies. Premiums for insurance policies are generally due at inception. Premiums for reinsurance policies generally become due over the period of coverage based on the policy terms. The Company monitors the credit risk associated with premiums receivable, taking into consideration that credit risk is reduced by the Company’s contractual right to offset loss obligations or unearned premiums against premiums receivable. Amounts deemed uncollectible are charged to net earnings in the period they are determined. Changes in the estimate of premiums written will result in an adjustment to premiums receivable in the period they are determined. Certain contracts are retrospectively rated and provide for a final adjustment to the premium based on the final settlement of all losses. Premiums receivable on such contracts are adjusted based on the estimate of losses the Company expects to incur, and are not considered due until all losses are settled.

(c) Life and annuity benefits

The Company’s life and annuity benefit and claim reserves are calculated using standard actuarial techniques and cash flow models in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 944, Financial Services—Insurance. The Company establishes and maintains its life and annuity reserves at a level that the Company estimates will, when taken together with future premium payments and investment income expected to be earned on associated premiums, be sufficient to support all future cash flow benefit obligations and third party servicing obligations as they become payable. The Company reviews its life and annuity reserves regularly and performs loss recognition testing based upon cash flow projections.

Since the development of the life and annuity reserves is based upon cash flow projection models, the Company must make estimates and assumptions based on experience and industry mortality tables, longevity and morbidity rates, lapse rates, expenses and investment experience, including a provision for adverse deviation.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES—(cont’d)

The assumptions used to determine policy benefit reserves are determined at the inception of the contracts, reviewed and adjusted at the point of acquisition as required, and are locked-in throughout the life of the contract unless a premium deficiency develops. The assumptions are reviewed no less than annually and are unlocked if they would result in a material adverse reserve change. The Company establishes these estimates based upon transaction-specific historical experience, information provided by the ceding company for the assumed business and industry experience. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. As the experience on the contracts emerges, the assumptions are reviewed by management. The Company determines whether actual and anticipated experience indicates that existing policy reserves, together with the present value of future gross premiums, are sufficient to cover the present value of future benefits, settlement and maintenance costs and to recover unamortized acquisition costs. If such a review indicates that reserves should be greater than those currently held, then the locked-in assumptions are revised and a charge for life and annuity benefits is recognized at that time.

Because of the many assumptions and estimates used in establishing reserves and the long-term nature of the contracts, the reserving process, while based on actuarial techniques, is inherently uncertain.

(d) Investments

Short-term investments and fixed maturity investments

Short-term investments comprise investments with a maturity greater than three months but less than one year from the date of purchase. Fixed maturities comprise investments with a maturity of one year and greater from the date of purchase.

Short-term investments and fixed maturities classified as trading are carried at fair value, with realized and unrealized holding gains and losses included in net earnings and reported as net realized and unrealized gains and losses. Investment purchases and sales are recorded on a trade-date basis. Realized gains and losses on the sale of investments are based upon specific identification of the cost of investments.

Short-term investments and fixed maturity investments classified as held-to-maturity securities, which are securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity, are carried at amortized cost. The cost of short-term investments and fixed maturities are adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts.

Fixed maturity investments classified as available-for-sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from net earnings and reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments classified as available-for-sale are recognized in the consolidated statements of earnings. Amortization of premium or discount is recognized using the effective yield method and included in net investment income. For mortgage-backed and asset-backed investments, and any other holdings for which there is a prepayment risk, prepayment assumptions are evaluated and revised on a regular basis.

Fixed maturity investments classified as available-for-sale and held-to-maturity are reviewed quarterly to determine if they have sustained an impairment of value that is, based on management’s judgment, considered to be other than temporary. The process includes reviewing each fixed maturity investment that is below cost and: (1) determining if the Company has the intent to sell the fixed maturity investment; (2) determining if it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the fixed maturity investment before its anticipated

recovery; and (3) assessing whether a credit loss exists, that is, whether the Company expects that the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected from the fixed maturity investment is less than the amortized cost basis of the investment. In evaluating credit losses, the Company considers a variety of factors in the assessment of a fixed maturity investment including: (1) the time period during which there has been a significant decline below cost; (2) the extent of the decline below cost and par; (3) the potential for the investment to recover in value; (4) an analysis of the financial condition of the issuer; (5) the rating of the issuer; and (6) failure of the issuer of the investment to make scheduled interest or principal payments. If management concludes an investment is other-than-temporarily impaired (“OTTI”), then the difference between the fair value and the amortized cost of the investment is presented as an OTTI charge in the consolidated statements of earnings, with an offset for any noncredit-related loss component of the OTTI charge to be recognized in other comprehensive income. Accordingly, only the credit loss component of the OTTI amount would have an impact on the Company’s earnings.

(e) Redeemable noncontrolling interest

In connection with the acquisition of Arden and with the proposed acquisitions of Torus Insurance Holdings Limited and Atrium Underwriting Group Limited, certain subsidiaries have or will have issued shares to a noncontrolling interest. These shares provide certain redemption rights to the holder which may be settled in the Company’s own shares or cash, at the Company’s option. The Company classifies redeemable noncontrolling interest with redemption features that are not solely within the control of the Company within temporary equity in its consolidated balance sheets and carries them at the redemption value, which is fair value. The Company recognizes changes in the fair value that exceed the carrying value of redeemable noncontrolling interest through retained earnings as if the balance sheet date were also the redemption date. For a description of the redemption rights refer to Note 2—Acquisitions.

New Accounting Standards Adopted in 2013

ASU 2011-11, Disclosures About Offsetting Assets and Liabilities

In December 2011, the FASB issued new disclosure requirements regarding the nature of an entity’s rights of setoff and related arrangements associated with its financial instruments and derivative instruments. The new disclosures are designed to make financial statements that are prepared under U.S. GAAP more comparable to those prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards. The Company adopted the amended guidance effective January 1, 2013. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2013-02, Presentation of Items Reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

In February 2013, the FASB issued new disclosure requirements for items reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income. This guidance requires entities to disclose in a single location (either on the face of the financial statement that reports net earnings or in the notes) the effects of reclassification out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2013. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (“ASU 2013-11”). The objective of ASU 2013-11 is to improve the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. ASU 2013-11 seeks to reduce the diversity in practice by providing guidance on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits to better reflect the manner in which an entity would settle at the reporting date any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position when net operating loss carryforwards, similar tax losses, or tax credit carryforwards exist. ASU 2013-11 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, with both early adoption and retrospective application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance; however, it is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and financial position.

2. ACQUISITIONS

The Company accounts for acquisitions using the purchase method of accounting, which requires that the acquirer record the assets and liabilities acquired at their estimated fair value. The fair values of each of the reinsurance assets and liabilities acquired relating to our acquisitions are derived from estimates of the associated projected cash flows, based on actuarially prepared information and management’s run-off strategy. Refer to Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 for more information on the accounting for acquisitions.

Torus Insurance Holdings Limited

Trident Co-investment in Atrium and Arden

On July 3, 2013, Kenmare entered into an Investors Agreement with Trident with respect to the acquisitions of Atrium and Arden, pursuant to which Trident acquired a 40% interest in Northshore Holdings Ltd., previously a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kenmare (“Northshore”). In connection with the Investors Agreement, Kenmare and Trident provided individual equity commitment letters to Northshore pursuant to which Kenmare and Trident were obligated to provide 60% and 40%, respectively, of the Atrium and Arden purchase prices and related expenses. On September 6, 2013, Kenmare and Trident each funded their individual equity commitments with respect to the Arden acquisition.

Completion of Kenmare’s and Trident’s funding obligations with respect to the Atrium closing is conditioned on, among other things, the satisfaction of certain conditions tied directly to the satisfaction of the closing conditions under the Atrium purchase agreement. In the event that the Atrium acquisition does not close, Trident’s obligations under its commitment letter would terminate as to both Arden and Atrium and Kenmare would be required to purchase at cost Trident’s 40% interest in Northshore.

On September 6, 2013, in connection with the closing of the Arden acquisition, Northshore, Kenmare and Trident entered into the Shareholders’ Agreement (the “Northshore Shareholders’ Agreement”). The Northshore Shareholders’ Agreement, among other things, provides that Kenmare has the right to appoint three members to the Northshore board of directors and Trident has the right to appoint two members. The Northshore Shareholders’ Agreement will also grant Trident the right to designate one member of the Atrium board of directors after the Atrium closing. The Northshore Shareholders’ Agreement includes a five-year period during which neither party can transfer its ownership interest in Northshore to a third party (the “Restricted Period”). Following the Restricted Period: (i) each party must offer the other party the right to buy its shares before the shares are offered to a third party; (ii) Kenmare can require Trident to participate in a sale of Northshore to a third party as long as Kenmare owns 55% of Northshore; (iii) each party has the right to be included on a pro rata basis in any sales made by the other party; and (iv) each party has the right to buy its pro rata share of any new securities issued by Northshore.

The Northshore Shareholders’ Agreement also provides that during the 90-day period following the fifth anniversary of the Arden closing, and at any time following the seventh anniversary of such closing, Kenmare would have the right to redeem Trident’s shares in Northshore at their then fair market value, which would be payable in cash. Following the seventh anniversary of the Arden closing, Trident would have the right to require Kenmare to purchase Trident’s shares in Northshore for their then current fair market value, which Kenmare would have the option to pay either in cash or by delivering the Company’s Voting Ordinary Shares.

Completion of Acquisition of Arden

Arden is a Bermuda-based reinsurance company that provides reinsurance to Atrium and is currently in the process of running off certain other discontinued businesses. The purchaser of Arden is 60% owned by Kenmare and 40% owned by Trident. The purchase price for Arden was $79.6 million. Kenmare’s portion of the purchase price was $47.8 million, and was financed by a draw under the Company’s revolving credit facility.

2. ACQUISITIONS—(cont’d)

Immediately following the acquisition, SeaBright was placed into run-off, and accordingly is no longer writing new insurance policies.

Gross and net premiums written by SeaBright from the date of the acquisition to September 30, 2013 totaled $17.9 million and $10.4 million, respectively. Now that SeaBright’s exit from the mandatory renewal process has been approved, the Company expects that SeaBright will no longer generate premiums written other than for small adjustments related to premium audits and reinstatement premiums on previously written policies.

The purchase price and fair value of the assets acquired in the SeaBright acquisition were as follows:

Purchase price	$	252,091
Net assets acquired at fair value	$	252,091

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment Process

The Company assesses whether declines in the fair value of its fixed maturity investments classified as available-for-sale and held-to-maturity represent impairment losses that are other-than-temporary and whether a credit loss exists in accordance with its accounting policies. In assessing whether it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell a fixed maturity investment before its anticipated recovery, the Company considers various factors including its future cash flow requirements, legal and regulatory requirements, the level of its cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and fixed maturity investments available-for-sale in an unrealized gain position, and other relevant factors. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company did not recognize any other-than-temporary impairment losses due to required sales. The Company determined that, as at September 30, 2013, no credit losses existed.

These investments are discussed in further detail below.

Private equity funds

This class comprises several private equity funds that invest primarily in the financial services industry. All of the Company’s investments in private equity funds are subject to restrictions on redemptions and sales that are determined by the governing documents and limit the Company’s ability to liquidate those investments. These restrictions have been in place since the dates the initial investments were made by the Company.

As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had $154.6 million and $127.7 million, respectively, of other investments recorded in private equity funds, which represented 2.4% and 3.0% of total investments, cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Due to a lag in the valuations reported by the managers, the Company records changes in the investment value with up to a three-month lag. Management regularly reviews and discusses fund performance with their fund managers to corroborate the reasonableness of the reported net asset values and to assess whether any events have occurred within the lag period that would affect the valuation of the investments

Fixed income funds

This class comprises a number of positions in diversified fixed income funds that are managed by third party managers. Underlying investments vary from high grade corporate bonds to non-investment grade senior secured loans and bonds, but are generally invested in liquid fixed income markets. These funds have regularly published prices. The funds have liquidity terms that vary from daily to monthly.

Fixed income hedge funds

This class comprises hedge funds that invest in a diversified portfolio of debt securities. The hedge funds are not currently eligible for redemption due to imposed lock-up periods of three years from the time of the Company’s initial investment. Once eligible, redemptions will be permitted quarterly with 90 days’ notice. The first investment in the funds will be eligible for redemption in March 2014.

Equity fund

This class is comprised of an equity fund that invests in a diversified portfolio of international publicly-traded equity securities.

Real estate debt fund

This class is comprised of a real estate debt fund that invests primarily in U.S. commercial real estate loans and securities. A redemption request for this fund can be made 10 days after the date of any monthly valuation; the fund states that it will make commercially reasonable efforts to redeem the investment within the next monthly period.

Other

This class is primarily comprised of a fund that provides loans to educational institutions throughout the U.S. and its territories. Through these investments, the Company participates in the performance of the underlying loan pools. This investment matures when the loans are paid down and cannot be redeemed before maturity.

Redemption restrictions on other investments

Certain funds included in other investments are subject to a lock-up period. A lock-up period refers to the initial amount of time an investor is contractually required to invest before having the ability to redeem the investment. Funds that do provide for periodic redemptions may, depending on the funds’ governing documents, have the ability to deny or delay a redemption request, which is called a “gate.” The fund may restrict redemptions because the aggregate amount of redemption requests as of a particular date exceeds a specified level. The gate is a method for executing an orderly redemption process that allows for redemption requests to be executed in a timely manner to reduce the possibility of adversely affecting the remaining investors in the fund. Typically, the imposition of a gate delays a portion of the requested redemption, with the remaining portion to be settled in cash sometime after the redemption date.

Certain funds included in other investments may be allowed to invest a portion of their assets in illiquid securities, such as private equity or convertible debt. In such cases, a common mechanism used is a “side-pocket,” whereby the illiquid security is assigned to a separate memorandum capital account or designated account. Typically, the investor loses its redemption rights in the designated account. Only when the illiquid security is sold, or is otherwise deemed liquid by the fund, may investors redeem their interest in the side-pocket.

At September 30, 2013, the Company had $2.9 million of investments subject to side-pockets ($nil as of December 31, 2012). Management has not made any adjustments to the fair value estimate reported by the fund managers for the side-pocketed investments.

The following tables present the fair value, unfunded commitments and redemption frequency for all other investments. These investments are all valued at net asset value as at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the price at which to sell an asset or transfer a liability (i.e. the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants. The Company uses a fair value hierarchy that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels as follows:

• Level 1—Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not applied to Level 1 instruments.

• Level 2—Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or for which significant inputs are observable (e.g. interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, default rates, loss severities, etc.) or can be corroborated by observable market data.

• Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. The unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own judgment about assumptions that market participants might use.

The following is a summary of valuation techniques or models the Company uses to measure fair value by asset and liability classes.

Fixed Maturity Investments

The Company’s fixed maturity portfolio is managed by the Company’s Chief Investment Officer and outside investment advisors with oversight from the Company’s Investment Committee. Fair values for all securities in the fixed maturities portfolio are independently provided by the investment custodian, investment accounting service provider and investment managers, each of which utilize internationally recognized independent pricing services. Interactive Data Corporation is, however, the main pricing service utilized to estimate the fair value measurements for the Company’s fixed maturity investments. The Company records the unadjusted price provided by the investment custodian, investment accounting service provider or the investment manager and validates this price through a process that includes, but is not limited to: (i) comparison of prices against alternative pricing sources; (ii) quantitative analysis (e.g. comparing the quarterly return for each managed portfolio to its target benchmark); (iii) evaluation of methodologies used by external parties to estimate fair value, including a review of the inputs used for pricing; and (iv) comparing the price to the Company’s

knowledge of the current investment market. The Company’s internal price validation procedures and review of fair value methodology documentation provided by independent pricing services have not historically resulted in adjustment in the prices obtained from the pricing service.

The independent pricing services used by the investment custodian, investment accounting service provider and investment managers obtain actual transaction prices for securities that have quoted prices in active markets. For determining the fair value of securities that are not actively traded, in general, pricing services use “matrix pricing” in which the independent pricing service uses observable market inputs including, but not limited to, reported trades, benchmark yields, broker-dealer quotes, interest rates, prepayment speeds, default rates and such other inputs as are available from market sources to determine a reasonable fair value. In addition, pricing services use valuation models, using observable data, such as an Option Adjusted Spread model, to develop prepayment and interest rate scenarios. The Option Adjusted Spread model is commonly used to estimate fair value for securities such as mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities.

The following describes the techniques generally used to determine the fair value of the Company’s fixed maturity investments by asset class.

• U.S. government and agency securities consist of securities issued by the U.S. Treasury and mortgage pass-through agencies such as the Federal National Mortgage Association, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and other agencies. The significant inputs used to determine the fair value of these securities include the spread above the risk-free yield curve, reported trades and broker-dealer quotes. These are considered to be observable market inputs and, therefore, the fair values of these securities are classified within Level 2.

• Non-U.S. government securities consist of bonds issued by non-U.S. governments and agencies along with supranational organizations. The significant inputs used to determine the fair value of these securities include the spread above the risk-free yield curve, reported trades and broker-dealer quotes. These are considered to be observable market inputs and, therefore, the fair values of these securities are classified within Level 2.

• Corporate securities consist primarily of investment-grade debt of a wide variety of corporate issuers and industries. The fair values of these securities are determined using the spread above the risk-free yield curve, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, benchmark yields, and industry and market indicators. These are considered observable market inputs and, therefore, the fair values of these securities are classified within Level 2. Where pricing is unavailable from pricing services, the Company obtains non-binding quotes from broker-dealers. This is generally the case when there is a low volume of trading activity and current transactions are not orderly. In this event, securities are classified within Level 3. As at September 30, 2013, the Company had one corporate security classified as Level 3.

• Municipal securities consist primarily of bonds issued by U.S.-domiciled state and municipal entities. The fair values of these securities are determined using the spread above the risk-free yield curve, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes and benchmark yields. These are considered observable market inputs and, therefore, the fair values of these securities are classified within Level 2.

• Asset-backed securities consist primarily of investment-grade bonds backed by pools of loans with a variety of underlying collateral. The significant inputs used to determine the fair value of these securities include the spread above the risk-free yield curve, reported trades, benchmark yields, broker-dealer quotes, prepayment speeds and default rates. These are considered observable market inputs and, therefore, the fair values of these securities are classified within Level 2.

• Residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities include both agency and non-agency originated securities. The significant inputs used to determine the fair value of these securities include the spread above the risk-free yield curve, reported trades, benchmark yields, broker-dealer quotes, prepayment speeds and default rates. These are considered observable market inputs and, therefore, the fair values of these securities are classified within Level 2. Where pricing is unavailable from pricing services, the Company obtains non-binding quotes from broker-dealers. This is generally the case when there is a low volume of trading activity and current transactions are not orderly. In this event, securities are classified within Level 3. As at September 30, 2013, the Company had no residential or commercial mortgage-backed securities classified as Level 3.

Equities

The Company’s equities are predominantly traded on the major exchanges and are primarily managed by two external advisors. The Company uses Interactive Data Corporation, an internationally recognized pricing service, to estimate the fair value for all of its equities. The Company’s equities are widely diversified and there is no significant concentration in any specific industry.

The Company has categorized all of its investments in equities as Level 1 investments because the fair values of these investments are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Because their fair value estimates are based on observable market data, the Company has categorized its investments in preferred stock as Level 2, with the exception of one investment in preferred stock that has been categorized as Level 3.

Other investments

The Company has ongoing due diligence processes with respect to funds in which it invests and their managers. These processes are designed to assist the Company in assessing the quality of information provided by, or on behalf of, each fund and in determining whether such information continues to be reliable or whether further review is warranted. Certain funds do not provide full transparency of their underlying holdings; however, the Company obtains the audited financial statements for funds annually, and regularly reviews and discusses the fund performance with the fund managers to corroborate the reasonableness of the reported net asset values. The use of net asset value as an estimate of the fair value for investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value is a permitted practical expedient. While reported net asset value is the primary input to the review, when the net asset value is deemed not to be indicative of fair value, the Company may incorporate adjustments to the reported net asset value (and not use the permitted practical expedient) on an investment by investment basis. These adjustments may involve significant management judgment.

For its investments in private equity funds, the Company measures fair value by obtaining the most recently provided capital statement from the external fund manager or third-party administrator. The funds calculate net asset value on a fair value basis. For all publicly-traded companies within these funds, the Company adjusts the reported net asset value based on the latest share price as of the Company’s reporting date. The Company has classified its investments in private equity funds as Level 3.

The fixed income funds and equity fund in which the Company invests have been classified as Level 2 investments because their fair value is estimated using the published net asset value and because the fixed income funds and equity fund are highly liquid.

7. REINSURANCE BALANCES RECOVERABLE—(cont’d)

Non-life run-off

The Company’s acquired insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries, prior to acquisition, used retrocessional agreements to reduce their exposure to the risk of insurance and reinsurance assumed. The Company’s insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries remain liable to the extent that retrocessionaires do not meet their obligations under these agreements, and therefore, the Company evaluates and monitors concentration of credit risk among its reinsurers. Provisions are made for amounts considered potentially uncollectible.

The fair value adjustments, determined on acquisition of insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries, are based on the estimated timing of loss and loss adjustment expense recoveries and an assumed interest rate equivalent to a risk free rate for securities with similar duration to the reinsurance recoverables acquired plus a spread to reflect credit risk, and are amortized over the estimated recovery period, as adjusted for accelerations in timing of payments as a result of commutation settlements.

As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had total non-life run-off reinsurance balances recoverable of $1.36 billion and $1.12 billion, respectively. The increase of $241.5 million in total non-life run-off reinsurance balances recoverable was primarily a result of the completion of acquisitions in the period partially offset by commutations and cash collections made during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the provision for uncollectible reinsurance recoverable relating to total non-life run-off reinsurance balances recoverable was $337.4 million and $343.9 million, respectively. To estimate the provision for uncollectible reinsurance recoverable, the balances are first allocated to applicable reinsurers which involves management judgment. As part of this process, ceded incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) reserves are allocated by reinsurer. The ratio of the provision for uncollectible reinsurance recoverable to total non-life run-off reinsurance balances recoverable (excluding provision for uncollectible reinsurance recoverable) as of September 30, 2013 decreased to 19.8% as compared to 23.4% as of December 31, 2012, primarily as a result of reinsurance balances recoverable of companies acquired during the period having minimal provisions for uncollectible reinsurance recoverable.

Top Ten Reinsurers—Non-Life Run-Off

At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the top ten reinsurers of the Company’s non-life run-off business accounted for 68.2% and 63.1%, respectively, of total non-life reinsurance balances recoverable (which includes loss reserves recoverable and recoverables on paid losses) and included $284.1 million and $194.5 million, respectively, of IBNR reserves recoverable. With the exception of one BBB+ rated reinsurer and one non-rated reinsurer from which $34.2 million and $256.1 million, respectively, was recoverable (December 31, 2012: $37.7 million and $nil, respectively), the other top ten reinsurers, as at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, were all rated A- or better. Reinsurance balances recoverable by reinsurer were as follows:

	September 30, 2013					December 31, 2012
	Reinsurance Balances Recoverable		% of Total			Reinsurance Balances Recoverable		% of Total
Top ten reinsurers	$	929,913		68.2	%	$	708,953		63.1	%
Other reinsurers’ balances > $1 million		421,153		30.9	%		409,666		36.5	%
Other reinsurers’ balances < $1 million		13,099		0.9	%		4,300		0.4	%

As at September 30, 2013, reinsurance balances recoverable from a single non-rated reinsurer with a carrying value of $256.1 million represented 10% or more of the Company’s total non-life run-off reinsurance balances recoverable, as compared to $144.1 million from an A+ rated reinsurer as at December 31, 2012. Of the $256.1 million and $144.1 million recoverable from reinsurers at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, $256.1 million and $121.7 million, respectively, were secured by trust funds held for the benefit of the Company’s insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries. Refer to Note 17 for information regarding affiliations with this reinsurer.

Life and annuities

As at September 30, 2013, the reinsurance balances recoverable associated with the Company’s life and annuities business consists of term life business ceded by Pavonia to reinsurers under various quota share arrangements. All of the reinsurers are rated A- and above by a major rating agency.

The net reduction in ultimate losses and loss adjustment expense liabilities for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was due to the following:

Net change in case and loss adjustment expense reserves (“LAE reserves”) comprises the movement during the quarter in specific case reserve liabilities as a result of claims settlements or changes advised to the Company by its policyholders and attorneys, less changes in case reserves recoverable advised by the Company to its reinsurers as a result of the settlement or movement of assumed claims. Net change in IBNR reserves represents the change in the Company’s actuarial estimates of losses incurred but not reported, less amounts recoverable.

The net reduction in ultimate losses and loss adjustment expense liabilities for the three months ended September 30, 2013 of $16.5 million included incurred losses and net change in IBNR reserves of $28.1 million related to premiums earned in the period by SeaBright. Excluding SeaBright’s increase in net ultimate losses of $28.1 million, ultimate losses and loss adjustment expense liabilities relating to prior periods were reduced by $44.6 million, which was attributable to a reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $27.9 million, a reduction in provision for bad debt of $5.5 million and a reduction in provisions for unallocated loss adjustment expense liabilities of $16.3 million, relating to 2013 run-off activity, partially offset by amortization of fair value adjustments of $5.0 million.

Excluding the impact of net ultimate losses of $28.1 million relating to SeaBright, the reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $27.9 million (comprised of net incurred loss development of $10.6 million and reduction in IBNR reserves of $38.5 million) related primarily to:

(i) the Company’s review of historic case reserves for which no updated advices had been received for a number of years. This review identified the redundancy of a number of advised case reserves with an estimated aggregate value of approximately $10.4 million;

(ii) an aggregate reduction in IBNR reserves of $12.4 million as a result of the application, on a basis consistent with the assumptions applied in the prior period, of the Company’s actuarial

methodologies to revised historical loss development data to estimate loss reserves required to cover liabilities for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses relating to non-commuted exposures in ten of the Company’s insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries. The prior period estimate of aggregate net IBNR liabilities for these subsidiaries was reduced as a result of the combined impact on all classes of business of loss development activity during 2013, including commutations and the favorable trend of loss development related to non-commuted policies compared to prior forecasts; and

(iii) a reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $5.0 million following the completion of one commutation of assumed reinsurance liabilities.

The reduction in provisions for bad debt of $5.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 resulted from the collection of receivables against which bad debt provisions had been provided for in earlier periods.

The net reduction in ultimate losses and loss adjustment expense liabilities for the three months ended September 30, 2012 of $62.5 million was attributable to a reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $58.5 million and a reduction in provisions for unallocated loss adjustment expense liabilities of $12.6 million, relating to 2012 run-off activity, partially offset by the amortization of fair value adjustments of $8.5 million.

The reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $58.5 million (comprised of net favorable incurred loss development of $24.2 million and reductions in IBNR reserves of $34.3 million) related primarily to:

(i) the Company’s review of historic case reserves for eleven of its insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries for which no updated advices had been received for a number of years. This review confirmed the redundancy of approximately 4,400 advised case reserves with an aggregate value of $27.6 million;

(ii) an aggregate reduction in IBNR reserves of $9.7 million as a result of the application, on a basis consistent with the assumptions applied in the prior period, of the Company’s actuarial methodologies to revised historical loss development data to estimate loss reserves required to cover liabilities for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expense relating to non-commuted exposures in twelve of the Company’s insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries. The prior period estimate of aggregate net IBNR liabilities for these subsidiaries was reduced as a result of the combined impact on all classes of business of loss development activity during 2012, including commutations and the favorable trend of loss development related to non-commuted policies compared to prior forecasts; and

(iii) a reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $21.2 million following the completion of two commutations and four policy buybacks and settlements of assumed reinsurance liabilities.

The net reduction in ultimate losses and loss adjustment expense liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 of $26.6 million included incurred losses and net change in IBNR reserves of $100.3 million related to premiums earned in the period by SeaBright. Excluding SeaBright’s increase in estimates of net ultimate losses of $100.3 million, ultimate losses and loss adjustment expense liabilities relating to prior periods were reduced by $126.9 million, which was attributable to a reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $81.4 million, a reduction in provisions for bad debt of $5.5 million and a reduction in provisions for unallocated loss adjustment expense liabilities of $49.5 million, relating to 2013 run-off activity, partially offset by amortization of fair value adjustments of $9.5 million.

Excluding the impact of net ultimate losses of $100.3 million relating to SeaBright, the reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $81.4 million (comprised of net favorable incurred loss development of $4.3 million and reduction in IBNR reserves of $77.1 million) related primarily to:

(i) the Company’s review of historic case reserves for which no updated advices had been received for a number of years. This review identified the redundancy of a number of advised case reserves with an estimated aggregate value of approximately $27.0 million;

(ii) a reduction in estimated of ultimate losses of $21.7 million relating to the settlement of six commutations and policy buy-backs of assumed and ceded exposures including the commutation of one of the Company’s top ten ceded reinsurance balances recoverable; and

(iii) an aggregate reduction in IBNR reserves of $32.7 million as a result of the application, on a basis consistent with the assumptions applied in the prior period, of the Company’s actuarial methodologies to revised historical loss development data to estimate loss reserves required to cover liabilities for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses relating to non-commuted exposures in eleven of the Company’s insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries. The prior period estimate of aggregate net IBNR liabilities for these subsidiaries was reduced as a result of the combined impact on all classes of business of loss development activity during 2013, including commutations and the favorable trend of loss development related to non-commuted policies compared to prior forecasts.

8. LOSSES AND LOSS ADJUSTMENT EXPENSE LIABILITIES—(cont’d)

The reduction in provisions for bad debt of $5.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 resulted from the collection of receivables against which bad debt provisions had been provided for in earlier periods.

The net reduction in ultimate losses and loss adjustment expense liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 of $141.7 million was attributable to a reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $120.2 million, a reduction in provisions for bad debt of $2.8 million and a reduction in provisions for unallocated loss adjustment expense liabilities of $37.1 million, relating to 2012 run-off activity, partially offset by the amortization of fair value adjustments of $18.4 million.

The reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $120.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 (comprised of net favorable incurred loss development of $56.7 million and reductions in IBNR reserves of $63.5 million) related primarily to:

(i) the Company’s review of historic case reserves for eleven of its insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries for which no updated advices had been received for a number of years. This review confirmed the redundancy of approximately 4,400 advised case reserves with an aggregate value of $27.6 million;

(ii) an aggregate reduction in IBNR reserves of $9.7 million as a result of the application, on a basis consistent with the assumptions applied in the prior period, of the Company’s actuarial methodologies to revised historical loss development data to estimate loss reserves required to cover liabilities for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses relating to non-commuted exposures in twelve of the Company’s most seasoned insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries. The prior period estimate of aggregate net IBNR liabilities for these subsidiaries was reduced as a result of the combined impact on all classes of business of loss development activity during 2012, including commutations and the favorable trend of loss development related to non-commuted policies compared to prior forecasts; and

(iii) a reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $82.9 million following the completion of eight commutations and four policy buybacks and settlements of assumed reinsurance liabilities, including one of the Company’s largest ten policyholder exposures as at January 1, 2012, and two commutations of ceded reinsurance recoverables, one of which was among the Company’s largest ten reinsurance recoverable balances as at January 1, 2012.

The reduction in provisions for bad debt of $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 resulted from the collection of receivables against which bad debt provisions had been provided for in earlier periods.

10. RETROSPECTIVELY RATED CONTRACTS

On October 1, 2003, SeaBright began selling workers’ compensation insurance policies for which the premiums varied based on loss experience. Accrued retrospective premiums are determined based upon the loss experience of business subject to such experience rating adjustment, and are determined by and allocated to individual policyholder accounts. Accrued retrospective premiums are recorded as additions to written or earned premium, and return retrospective premiums are recorded as reductions from written or earned premium. During the period from February 7, 2013, the date of acquisition, to September 30, 2013, none of the Company’s direct premiums written related to retrospectively rated contracts. The Company accrued $10.7 million for retrospective premiums receivable and $26.3 million for return retrospective premiums as at September 30, 2013.

Total loans payable					$	355,663	$	107,430

The Company’s long-term debt consists of loan facilities used to partially finance certain of the Company’s acquisitions or significant new business transactions and its Revolving Credit Facility (the “EGL Revolving Credit Facility”), which can be used for permitted acquisitions and general corporate purposes. The Company’s credit facility related to the Company’s 2011 acquisition of Clarendon National Insurance Company (the “Clarendon Facility”) and its term facility related to the acquisition of SeaBright (the “SeaBright Facility”) are described in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

On February 5, 2013, the Company, through AML Acquisition, fully drew down the $111.0 million SeaBright Facility in connection with the acquisition of SeaBright.

On February 5, 2013, March 26, 2013 and September 6, 2013, the Company borrowed $56.0 million, $60.0 million and $47.8 million, respectively, under the EGL Revolving Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2013, the unused portion of the EGL Revolving Credit Facility was $211.2 million.

Amendment and Restatement of EGL Revolving Credit Facility Agreement

On July 8, 2013, the Company, and certain of its subsidiaries, as borrowers, as well as certain of its subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into an amendment and restatement of its existing Revolving Credit Facility Agreement with National Australia Bank Limited (“NAB”) and Barclays Bank PLC (“Barclays”), as mandated lead arrangers, NAB, Barclays and Royal Bank of Canada, as original lenders, and NAB as agent (the “Restated Credit Agreement”). The Restated Credit Agreement provides for a five-year EGL Revolving Credit Facility (expiring in July 2018) pursuant to which the Company is permitted to borrow up to an aggregate of $375.0 million, which is available to fund permitted acquisitions and for general corporate purposes. The previously existing Revolving Credit Facility Agreement had provided for a three-year $250.0 million facility that was set to terminate in June 2014. The Company’s ability to draw on the EGL Revolving Credit Facility is subject to customary conditions.

The EGL Revolving Credit Facility is secured by a first priority lien on the stock of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries and certain bank accounts held with Barclays in the name of the Company and into which amounts received in respect of any capital release from certain of the Company’s subsidiaries are required

The interest rate is LIBOR plus 2.75%, plus an incremental amount tied to certain regulatory costs, if any, that may be incurred by the lenders. Any unused portion of the EGL Revolving Credit Facility will be subject to a commitment fee of 1.10%. The EGL Revolving Credit Facility imposes various financial and business covenants on the Company, the guarantors and certain other material subsidiaries, including limitations on mergers and consolidations, acquisitions, indebtedness and guarantees, restrictions as to dispositions of stock and assets, restrictions on dividends and limitations on liens.

During the existence of any event of default (as specified in the Restated Credit Agreement), the agent may cancel the commitments of the lenders, declare all or a portion of outstanding amounts immediately due and payable, declare all or a portion of outstanding amounts payable upon demand or proceed against the security. During the existence of any payment default, the interest rate would be increased by 1.0%. The EGL Revolving Credit Facility terminates and all amounts borrowed must be repaid on the fifth anniversary of the date of the Restated Credit Agreement.

On September 6, 2013, the Company borrowed $47.8 million under the EGL Revolving Credit Facility to fund Kenmare’s portion of the purchase price for Arden.

As at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the authorized share capital was 111,000,000 ordinary shares and non-voting convertible ordinary shares, each par value $1.00 per share and 45,000,000 preference shares of par value $1.00 per share.

Series B Convertible Participating Non-Voting Perpetual Preferred Stock

In connection with the Torus acquisition, on July 8, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors created 4,000,000 shares of Series B Convertible Participating Non-Voting Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Non-Voting Preferred Shares”), from the authorized and unissued preference shares. No Non-Voting Preferred Shares have been issued. The Company will issue a combination of approximately 1,902,000 Voting Ordinary Shares and approximately 710,000 Non-Voting Preferred Shares to certain shareholders of Torus at closing of the Amalgamation. Refer to Note 2 for more information regarding the Torus acquisition.

The Non-Voting Preferred Shares:

• rank on parity with the Voting Ordinary Shares and non-voting ordinary shares, but would rank senior to any other class or series of share capital of the Company, unless the terms of any such class or series shall provide otherwise;

• would receive dividends when, and if, and in the same amounts (on an as-converted basis), dividends are declared on the Voting Ordinary Shares and/or non-voting ordinary shares;

14. SHARE CAPITAL—(cont’d)

• automatically convert on a one-to-one basis into: (i) Voting Ordinary Shares upon the transfer of such Non-Voting Preferred Shares to any person other than an affiliate of First Reserve if that transfer qualifies as a widely dispersed offering and (ii) a new series of non-voting ordinary shares of the Company upon the approval by the Company’s shareholders of an amendment to the Company’s bye-laws to authorize such series;

• have a liquidation preference of $0.001 per share, and thereafter are entitled to participate (on an as-converted basis) with the Voting Ordinary Shares and the non-voting ordinary shares in the distribution of remaining assets; and

• have no voting rights other than: (i) in the event of a proposed change to the Company’s organizational documents that would significantly and adversely affect the rights of the Non-Voting Preferred Shares, (ii) certain share exchanges or reclassifications of the Non-Voting Preferred Shares, (iii) certain mergers or consolidations of the Company, or (iv) a voluntary liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

15. REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTEREST

The redeemable noncontrolling interest comprises the 40% ownership interest in Northshore held by Trident. The redeemable noncontrolling interest is classified outside of permanent shareholders’ equity on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets due to the redemption rights held by Trident, which are described in Note 2—Acquisitions. The Company recognizes changes in the redemption value of the Trident interest in Northshore’s earnings as if the balance sheet date was also the redemption date. As at September 30, 2013, there were no adjustments recorded through retained earnings as the redemption value of the Trident interest approximated its carrying value.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending carrying amount of the equity attributable to the redeemable noncontrolling interest is as follows:

	Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest
Balance as at December 31, 2012	$	—
Redeemable noncontrolling interest, initial contribution		32,480
Net earnings attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest		27

18. TAXATION—(cont’d)

Under current Bermuda law, the Company and its Bermuda subsidiaries are exempted from paying any taxes in Bermuda on their income or capital gains until March 2035.

The Company has operating subsidiaries and branch operations in the United Kingdom, Australia, the United States and Europe and is subject to federal, foreign, state and local taxes in those jurisdictions. In addition, certain distributions from some foreign sources may be subject to withholding taxes.

The expected income tax provision for the foreign operations computed on pre-tax income at the weighted average tax rate has been calculated as the sum of the pre-tax income in each jurisdiction multiplied by that jurisdiction’s applicable statutory tax rate.

The actual income tax rate differed from the amount computed by applying the effective rate of 0% under Bermuda law to earnings before income taxes as shown in the following reconciliation:

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2013			2012			2013			2012
Earnings before income tax	$	44,796		$	70,192		$	95,365		$	142,096
Expected tax rate		—	%		—	%		—	%		—	%
Foreign taxes at local expected rates		23.2	%		26.1	%		(2.1	)%		24.4	%
Change in uncertain tax positions		0.0	%		0.1	%		(2.8	)%		0.1	%
Change in valuation allowance		(16.2	)%		(5.4	)%		21.5	%		(3.3	)%
Other		(4.0	)%		0.1	%		(2.2	)%		0.2	%
Effective tax rate		3.0	%		20.9	%		14.4	%		21.4	%

The Company has estimated future taxable income of its foreign subsidiaries and has provided a valuation allowance in respect of those loss carryforwards where it does not expect to realize a benefit. The Company has considered all available evidence using a “more likely than not” standard in determining the amount of the valuation allowance.

The Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $2.2 million and $5.8 million relating to uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, there were reductions to unrecognized tax benefits of $3.6 million due to the expiration of statutes of limitation.

The Company’s operating subsidiaries in specific countries may be subject to audit by various tax authorities and may have different statutes of limitations expiration dates. With limited exceptions, the Company’s major subsidiaries that operate in the United States, United Kingdom and Australia are no longer subject to tax examinations for years before 2006, 2009 and 2006, respectively.

19. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Concentration of Credit Risk

issuers, and as a result the Company does not believe that there are any significant concentrations of credit risk associated with its portfolio of cash and fixed maturities.

The Company’s portfolio of other investments is managed pursuant to guidelines that emphasize diversification and liquidity. Pursuant to these guidelines, the Company manages and monitors risk across a variety of investment funds and vehicles, markets and counterparties. The Company believes that there are no significant concentrations of credit risk associated with its other investments.

The Company’s investments are held by 35 different custodians. These custodians are all large financial institutions that are highly regulated. These institutions have controls over their investment processes that are certified annually. The largest concentration of fixed maturities investments at a single custodian, by fair value, was $2.2 billion and $1.8 billion as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Leases

The Company leases office space under operating leases expiring in various years through 2018. The leases are renewable at the option of the lessee under certain circumstances.

Acquisitions

The Company has entered into definitive agreements with respect to: (i) the Reciprocal of America loss portfolio transfer, which is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2013; (ii) the purchase of Atrium Underwriting Group Limited, which is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2013; and (iii) the Amalgamation of Veranda and Torus Insurance Holdings Limited, which is expected to close in the first quarter of 2014. The Torus and Atrium acquisition agreements are described in Note 2—“Acquisitions,” and the Reciprocal of America agreement is described in Note 3—“Significant New Business.”

In connection with the acquisitions of Torus and Atrium/Arden, the Company has entered into two separate Investors Agreements with Trident, entered into a Shareholders’ Agreement with Trident on September 6, 2013 in connection with the closing of the Arden acquisition (which will apply equally to the Atrium acquisition on closing), and will enter into a Shareholders’ Agreement with Trident at the closing of the Torus Amalgamation. The Company’s obligations and rights relating to the Investors and Shareholders’ Agreements are described in Note 2—“Acquisitions.”

Pursuant to the Amalgamation Agreement to acquire Torus, the Company has agreed that at the closing of the Amalgamation, it will issue a combination of Voting Ordinary Shares and Non-Voting Preferred Shares having a value of approximately $346.0 million to partially fund the purchase price, as described in Note 2. At closing, the Company will also enter into the Shareholder Rights Agreement with First Reserve and the Registration Rights Agreement with First Reserve and Corsair; the obligations and rights under these agreements are also described in Note 2.

Legal Proceedings

In connection with the Company’s acquisition of SeaBright, two purported class action lawsuits were filed against SeaBright, the members of its board of directors, the Company’s merger subsidiary (AML Acquisition, Corp.) and, in one of the cases, the Company. The first suit was filed September 13, 2012 in the Superior Court of the State of Washington and the second suit was filed September 20, 2012 in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. The lawsuits alleged, among other things, that SeaBright’s directors breached their fiduciary duties when negotiating, approving and seeking stockholder approval of the Merger, and that SeaBright and the Company or the Company’s merger subsidiary aided and abetted the alleged breaches of fiduciary duties. The Company believed these suits were without merit; nevertheless, in order to avoid the potential cost and distraction of continued litigation and to eliminate any risk of delay to the closing of the Merger, the Company, SeaBright and the SeaBright director defendants agreed to settle the two lawsuits, without admitting any liability or wrongdoing. The settlement required SeaBright to make supplemental information available to its stockholders through a filing of a Current Report on Form 8-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The settlement did not change the amount of the merger consideration that the Company paid to SeaBright’s stockholders in any way, nor did it alter any deal terms. On July 19, 2013, the Superior Court of the State of Washington entered an order approving the settlement, which became become final and unappealable on August 19, 2013. On August 23, 2013, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware dismissed the Delaware action.

The Company is, from time to time, involved in various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including litigation regarding claims. The Company does not believe that the resolution of any currently pending legal proceedings, either individually or taken as a whole, will have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations or financial condition. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that lawsuits,

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

19. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES—(cont’d)

arbitrations or other litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations. The Company anticipates that, similar to the rest of the insurance and reinsurance industry, it will continue to be subject to litigation and arbitration proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including litigation generally related to the scope of coverage with respect to asbestos and environmental claims. There can be no assurance that any such future litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

20. SEGMENT REPORTING

Due to the Company’s acquisition of the Pavonia companies on March 31, 2013, the Company reevaluated its segment reporting during the second quarter of 2013 and began measuring the results of its operations in two segments: (i) non-life run-off and (ii) life and annuities.

The Company’s non-life run-off segment comprises the operations and financial results of those subsidiaries running off their property and casualty business.

The Company’s life and annuities segment comprises the operations and financial results of those subsidiaries, primarily the Pavonia companies, operating in the closed-block of life and annuity business. Certain new significant accounting policies applicable to the life and annuities segment are described in Note 1—“Significant New Accounting Policies.”

Invested assets are managed on a subsidiary by subsidiary basis, and investment income and realized and unrealized gains on investments are recognized in each segment as earned.

The Company’s total assets by segment were:

	September 30, 2013		December 31, 2012
Total assets—non-life run-off	$	6,930,513	$	5,829,384
Total assets—life and annuities		1,411,756		52,859

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

Enstar Group Limited:

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Enstar Group Limited and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2013, and the related condensed consolidated statements of earnings and comprehensive income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, and the related condensed consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. These condensed consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Enstar Group Limited and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended; and in our report dated February 28, 2013, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 should be read in conjunction with the attached unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.

Business Overview

Enstar Group Limited, or Enstar, was formed in August 2001 under the laws of Bermuda to acquire and manage insurance and reinsurance companies in run-off and portfolios of insurance and reinsurance business in run-off, and to provide management, consulting and other services to the insurance and reinsurance industry. Since our formation, we have completed the acquisition of over 60 insurance and reinsurance companies and portfolios of insurance and reinsurance business and are now administering those businesses in run-off, including 12 Reinsurance to Close, or “RITC” transactions, with Lloyd’s of London insurance and reinsurance syndicates in run-off, whereby the portfolio of run-off liabilities is transferred from one Lloyd’s syndicate to another. With the exception of our 2011 acquisition of a small life company, all of these acquisitions had been in the property and casualty, or “non-life run-off,” insurance business, which continues to remain our primary focus.

Insurance and reinsurance companies and portfolios of insurance and reinsurance business we acquire that are in run-off no longer underwrite new policies. We derive our net earnings from the ownership and management of these acquired companies and portfolios of business primarily by settling insurance and reinsurance claims below the acquired value of loss reserves and from returns on the portfolio of investments retained to pay future claims. We also provide management and consultancy services, claims inspection services and reinsurance collection services to our affiliates and third-party clients for both fixed and success-based fees.

In March 2013, we acquired several life insurance and annuities companies from a subsidiary of HSBC Holdings plc, all of which are in run-off. We view the acquisition of these closed-life and annuities businesses as a natural extension of our run-off business and an enhancement to our global run-off strategy. Although our closed-life and annuities businesses are no longer writing new policies, the closed-life businesses continue to generate premiums with respect to their in-force policies. Our strategy in our life and annuities business differs from our non-life run-off business, in particular because we are unable to shorten the duration of the liabilities of these businesses through either commutations or policy buy-backs. Instead, we will hold the policies associated with the life and annuities business to their natural maturity, while efficiently managing our invested assets in those businesses to match the duration and cash flows of the liability profile. In addition to diversifying our loss reserve base, we believe our newly acquired closed-life business has the potential to provide us with a more regular earnings and cash flow stream, which may counter the volatility of our core non-life run-off business.

In June 2013, we continued the evolution of our business with our agreement to acquire Atrium Underwriting Group, the managing agent for the active underwriting business of a leading specialist underwriting syndicate at Lloyd’s of London. We continued our expansion into active underwriting in July 2013 when we announced our agreement to acquire Torus Insurance Holdings Limited, a highly rated global specialty insurer (an acquisition that we expect to close in the first quarter of 2014). In subsequent quarters, beginning with the fourth quarter of 2013, the active underwriting businesses acquired will constitute a new operating segment for us. We will generate revenue from premiums on the new business written, and will have additional operating expenses, in part as a result of the approximately 750 new employees and a number of new offices that we expect to acquire as a result of both transactions. In addition, our total investments will significantly increase from the acquired investment portfolios. While our core focus remains on acquiring insurance and reinsurance companies that are in run-off, we believe these acquisitions diversify Enstar into the active market and enhance the opportunities available to our core run-off business.

Our primary corporate objective is to grow our net book value per share. We believe growth in our net book value is driven primarily by growth in our net earnings, which is in turn driven in large part by successfully completing new acquisitions and effectively managing companies and portfolios of business that we previously acquired.

Acquisitions

Torus Insurance Holdings Limited

Amalgamation Agreement

On July 8, 2013, we, Veranda Holdings Ltd., or Veranda, an entity in which we own an indirect 60% interest through a 60% interest in Bayshore Holdings Limited, or Bayshore, Hudson Securityholders Representative LLC and Torus Insurance Holdings Limited, or Torus, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Amalgamation, or the Amalgamation Agreement. The Amalgamation Agreement provides for the amalgamation, or the Amalgamation, of Veranda and Torus (or the combined entity, the Amalgamated Company). Torus is a global specialty insurer and holding company of six wholly-owned insurance vehicles, including one Lloyd’s syndicate.

The purchase price for the Amalgamation is $692.0 million. We and Kenmare Holdings Ltd. (our wholly-owned subsidiary), or Kenmare, will provide 60% of the purchase price and related expenses of the Amalgamation. Trident V, L.P., Trident V Parallel Fund, L.P. and Trident V Professionals Fund, L.P., or collectively, Trident, the owner of the remaining 40% interest in Bayshore, the parent company of Veranda, will provide 40% of the purchase price and related expenses associated with the Amalgamation. We will issue a combination of approximately 1,902,000 voting ordinary shares, par value $1.00 per share, or the Voting Ordinary Shares, and approximately 710,000 newly-created Series B convertible non-voting preference shares, par value $1.00 per share, or the Non-Voting Preferred Shares, having an aggregate value of approximately $346.0 million to partially fund the purchase price. Kenmare will contribute in cash approximately $69.2 million and Trident will contribute in cash the remaining approximately $276.8 million of the purchase price. Following the Amalgamation, we and Trident will continue to own, respectively, a 60% and 40% indirect interest in the Amalgamated Company through our ownership of Bayshore.

Completion of the Amalgamation is conditioned on, among other things, governmental and regulatory approvals and satisfaction of various customary closing conditions. The transaction is expected to close during the first quarter of 2014. As a result of the Torus acquisition, we expect to add approximately 600 employees in a number of new offices in various countries.

Stock Issuance

FR XI Offshore AIV, L.P., First Reserve Fund XII, L.P., FR XII A Parallel Vehicle L.P. and FR Torus Co-Investment, L.P., or collectively, First Reserve, will receive Voting Ordinary Shares, Non-Voting Preferred Shares and cash consideration in the transaction. In the event that the number of Voting Ordinary Shares deliverable to First Reserve at the closing of the Amalgamation would cause First Reserve, as of immediately after such closing, to beneficially own Voting Ordinary Shares that constitute more than 9.5% of the voting power of all of our shares, then we will issue to First Reserve, at the closing, the total number of shares of Voting Ordinary Shares representing 9.5% of the voting power of all our shares as of immediately after the closing and Non-Voting Preferred Shares representing the remainder of the shares that First Reserve is entitled to under the Amalgamation Agreement. Corsair Specialty Investors, L.P., or Corsair, will receive both Voting Ordinary Shares and cash consideration in the transaction. The remaining Torus shareholders will receive all cash. Following the Amalgamation, First Reserve will own approximately 9.5% and 11.5%, respectively, of our Voting Ordinary Shares and outstanding share capital and Corsair will own approximately 2.5% and 2.1%, respectively, of our Voting Ordinary Shares and outstanding share capital.

We and First Reserve will enter into a Shareholder Rights Agreement at the closing of the Amalgamation, under which we have agreed that First Reserve will have the right to designate one representative to our Board of Directors. This designation right terminates if First Reserve ceases to beneficially own at least 75% of the total number of Voting Ordinary Shares and Non-Voting Preferred Shares acquired by it under the Amalgamation Agreement.

61

We will also enter into a Registration Rights Agreement with First Reserve and Corsair at the closing of the Amalgamation that provides First Reserve and Corsair with certain rights to cause us to register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Act, the Voting Ordinary Shares (including the Voting Ordinary Shares into which the Non-Voting Preferred Shares may convert) issued pursuant to the Amalgamation and any securities issued by us in connection with the foregoing by way of a share dividend or share split or in connection with any recapitalization, reclassification or similar reorganization, or the foregoing, collectively, Registrable Securities. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, we must file a resale shelf registration statement for the Registrable Securities within 20 business days after the closing of the Amalgamation. In addition, at any time following the six-month anniversary of the closing of the Amalgamation, First Reserve will be entitled to make three written requests for us to register all or any part of the Registrable Securities under the Act, subject to certain exceptions and conditions set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement. Corsair will have the right to make one such request. First Reserve and Corsair will also be granted “piggyback” registration rights with respect to our registration of Voting Ordinary Shares for our own account or for the account of one or more of our securityholders.

Trident Co-investment in Torus

In connection with the Amalgamation Agreement, we, Kenmare and Trident entered an Investors Agreement on July 8, 2013 governing each entity’s investments in Bayshore, Kenmare and Trident entered into individual equity commitment letters obligating each to fund its respective portion of the purchase price for the Amalgamation described above. Completion of Kenmare’s and Trident’s funding obligations is conditioned on, among other things, the satisfaction of certain conditions tied directly to the satisfaction of the closing conditions under the Amalgamation Agreement.

Upon the funding of the equity commitments at the closing of the Amalgamation, Kenmare and Trident have agreed to enter into a Shareholders’ Agreement, or the Bayshore Shareholders’ Agreement. Among other things, the Bayshore Shareholders’ Agreement will provide that Kenmare would appoint three members to the Bayshore board of directors and Trident would appoint two members. The Bayshore Shareholders’ Agreement includes a five-year period during which neither party can transfer its ownership interest in Bayshore to a third party, or the Restricted Period. Following the Restricted Period: (i) each party must offer the other party the right to buy its shares before the shares are offered to a third party; (ii) Kenmare can require Trident to participate in a sale of Bayshore to a third party as long as Kenmare owns 55% of Bayshore; (iii) each party has the right to be included on a pro rata basis in any sales made by the other party; and (iv) each party has the right to buy its pro rata share of any new securities issued by Bayshore.

During the 90-day period following the fifth anniversary of the closing of the Amalgamation, and at any time following the seventh anniversary of such closing, Kenmare would have the right to redeem Trident’s shares in Bayshore at their then fair market value, which would be payable in cash. Following the seventh anniversary of the closing, Trident would have the right to require Kenmare to purchase Trident’s shares for their then current fair market value, which Kenmare would have the option to pay either in cash or by delivering our Voting Ordinary Shares.

Trident is a holder of approximately 9.7% of our Voting Ordinary Shares.

Atrium and Arden

On June 5, 2013, we entered into definitive agreements with Arden Holdings Limited with respect to our acquisitions of Atrium Underwriting Group Limited, or Atrium, and Arden Reinsurance Company Limited, or Arden. The two transactions are governed by separate purchase agreements and the acquisition of each company was not conditioned on the acquisition of the other.

Atrium is an underwriting business at Lloyd’s of London, which manages Syndicate 609 and provides approximately one quarter of the syndicate’s capital. Atrium specializes in accident and health, aviation, marine

62

property, non-marine property, professional liability, property and casualty binding authorities, reinsurance, upstream energy, war and terrorism insurance, cargo and fine art. The purchase price for Atrium will be approximately $183.0 million. Completion of the transaction is conditioned on, among other things, governmental and regulatory approvals and satisfaction of various customary closing conditions. The transaction is expected to close by the end of 2013. The purchaser of Atrium will be owned 60% by Kenmare and 40% by Trident. As a result of the Atrium acquisition, we expect to add approximately 150 employees and five offices in various countries.

On September 9, 2013, Kenmare, together with Trident, completed the acquisition of Arden. Arden is a Bermuda-based reinsurance company that provides reinsurance to the Atrium group of companies and is currently in the process of running off certain other discontinued businesses. The purchaser of Arden is owned 60% by Kenmare and 40% by Trident. The purchase price for Arden was $79.6 million. Kenmare’s portion of the purchase price was $47.8 million and was financed by a drawing under our revolving credit facility.

Trident Co-investment in Atrium and Arden

On July 3, 2013, Kenmare entered into an Investors Agreement with Trident with respect to the acquisitions of Atrium and Arden, pursuant to which Trident acquired a 40% interest in Northshore Holdings Ltd., previously a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kenmare, or Northshore. In connection with the Investors Agreement, Kenmare and Trident provided individual equity commitment letters to Northshore pursuant to which Kenmare and Trident were obligated to provide 60% and 40%, respectively, of the Atrium and Arden purchase prices and related expenses. On September 6, 2013, Kenmare and Trident each funded their individual equity commitments with respect to the Arden acquisition.

Completion of Kenmare’s and Trident’s funding obligations with respect to the Atrium closing is conditioned on, among other things, the satisfaction of certain conditions tied directly to the satisfaction of the closing conditions under the Atrium purchase agreement. In the event that the Atrium acquisition does not close, Trident’s obligations under its commitment letter would terminate as to both Arden and Atrium and Kenmare would be required to purchase at cost Trident’s 40% interest in Northshore.

On September 6, 2013, in connection with the closing of the Arden acquisition, Northshore, Kenmare and Trident entered into the Shareholders’ Agreement, or the Northshore Shareholders’ Agreement. The Northshore Shareholders’ Agreement, among other things, provides that Kenmare has the right to appoint three members to the Northshore board of directors and Trident has the right to appoint two members. The Northshore Shareholders’ Agreement will also grant Trident the right to designate one member of the Atrium board of directors after the Atrium closing. The Northshore Shareholders’ Agreement includes a five-year period during which neither party can transfer its ownership interest in Northshore to a third party, or the Restricted Period. Following the Restricted Period: (i) each party must offer the other party the right to buy its shares before the shares are offered to a third party; (ii) Kenmare can require Trident to participate in a sale of Northshore to a third party as long as Kenmare owns 55% of Northshore; (iii) each party has the right to be included on a pro rata basis in any sales made by the other party; and (iv) each party has the right to buy its pro rata share of any new securities issued by Northshore.

The Northshore Shareholders’ Agreement also provides that during the 90-day period following the fifth anniversary of the Arden closing, and at any time following the seventh anniversary of such closing, Kenmare would have the right to redeem Trident’s shares in Northshore at their then fair market value, which would be payable in cash. Following the seventh anniversary of the Arden closing, Trident would have the right to require Kenmare to purchase Trident’s shares in Northshore for their then current fair market value, which Kenmare would have the option to pay either in cash or by delivering our Voting Ordinary Shares.

Pavonia

On March 31, 2013, we and our wholly-owned subsidiary, Pavonia Holdings (US), Inc., or Pavonia, completed the acquisition of all of the shares of Household Life Insurance Company of Delaware, or HLIC DE, and HSBC Insurance Company of Delaware, or HSBC DE, from Household Insurance Group Holding Company, a subsidiary of HSBC Holdings plc. HLIC DE and HSBC DE are both Delaware-domiciled insurers in run-off. HLIC DE owns three other insurers domiciled in Michigan, New York, and Arizona, respectively, all of which are in run-off (collectively with HLIC DE and HSBC DE, the Pavonia companies). The aggregate cash purchase price was $155.6 million and was financed in part by a drawing of $55.7 million under our revolving credit facility. The Pavonia companies wrote various U.S. and Canadian life insurance, including credit life and disability insurance, term life insurance, assumed life reinsurance and annuities.

As of the date of acquisition of Pavonia, all of the companies were either in run-off or, immediately following the acquisition, were placed into run-off, and accordingly are no longer writing new policies. We will continue to collect premiums on business that remains in-force.

SeaBright

On February 7, 2013, we completed our acquisition of SeaBright Holdings, Inc., or SeaBright, through the merger of our indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary, AML Acquisition, Corp., with and into SeaBright, or the Merger, with SeaBright surviving the Merger as our indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary. SeaBright owns SeaBright Insurance Company, an Illinois-domiciled insurer that is commercially domiciled in California, which wrote workers’ compensation business. The aggregate cash purchase price paid for all equity securities of SeaBright was approximately $252.1 million, which was funded in part with $111.0 million borrowed under a four-year term loan facility provided by National Australia Bank and Barclays Bank PLC.

Significant New Business

Shelbourne

Effective January 1, 2013, Lloyd’s Syndicate 2008, or Syndicate 2008, which is managed by our wholly-owned subsidiary and Lloyd’s managing agent, Shelbourne Syndicate Services Limited, entered into an RITC contract of the 2009 underwriting year of account of another Lloyd’s syndicate and a 100% quota share reinsurance agreement with a further Lloyd’s syndicate in respect of its 2010 underwriting year of account, under which Syndicate 2008 assumed total gross insurance reserves of approximately £33.8 million (approximately $51.4 million) for consideration of an equal amount.

American Physicians

On April 26, 2013, we, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Providence Washington Insurance Company, or PWIC, completed the assignment and assumption of a portfolio of workers’ compensation business from American Physicians Assurance Corporation and APSpecialty Insurance Company. Total assets and liabilities assumed were approximately $35.3 million.

Reciprocal of America

On July 6, 2012, PWIC entered into a definitive loss portfolio transfer reinsurance agreement with Reciprocal of America (in Receivership) and its Deputy Receiver relating to a portfolio of workers’ compensation business. The estimated total liabilities to be assumed are approximately $169.0 million, with an equivalent amount of assets to be received as consideration. Completion of the transaction is conditioned upon, among other things, regulatory approvals and satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Segment Reporting

Due to our acquisition of the Pavonia companies, we reevaluated our segment reporting. We now measure our results of operations in two segments: (i) non-life run-off and (ii) life and annuities.

Non-life Run-off Segment

Our non-life run-off segment comprises the operations and financial results of our subsidiaries that are running off their property and casualty business.

Life and Annuities Segment

Our life and annuities segment comprises the operations and financial results of our subsidiaries that are operating our closed-block of life and annuity business, which primarily consists of the companies we acquired in the Pavonia acquisition on March 31, 2013. This business is described in more detail below. Certain new critical accounting policies applicable to this segment are described in “Critical Accounting Policies.”

Annuities

The current operations of one of the Pavonia companies relates solely to the assumption of a closed block of structured settlement, lottery, and other immediate annuities (also known as the Periodic Payment Annuity, or PPA, business). The company no longer writes new business. Reserves relating to the PPA business constitute approximately 80% of the aggregate reserves acquired in the Pavonia acquisition. The contracts within the portfolio are largely structured settlements, although the portfolio also includes a smaller amount of lottery annuities and supplementary contracts.

The PPA business was issued from 1982 to 1995, although the majority of the reserves pertain to the period from 1985 to 1989. The contracts within the portfolio operate pursuant to a variety of different payment features, such as life contingency payments, certain payments (or a combination thereof), one-time lump payments, or payments patterns such as level, compound increase or fixed amount increase payments. Regardless of payment structure, however, the portfolio generally has known and predictable cash flows, which makes the asset-liability matching process and the mitigation of interest rate risk a vital component to our management of this portfolio. We have a long-duration held-to-maturity investment portfolio designed to manage the cash flow obligations of the PPA business.

Life Business

The other operations of the acquired Pavonia companies relate to non-annuity portfolios, which include credit life and disability insurance, term life, and corporate owned life insurance business. This business is significantly shorter in duration than that of the PPA business and, given the premium income associated with these portfolios, the reserves (based upon net present value of future cash flows) remain highly sensitive to lapse rates as well as mortality rates.

NET EARNINGS ATTRIBUTABLE TO ENSTAR GROUP LIMITED	$	39,987		$	47,716		$	71,143		$	98,111

We reported consolidated net earnings, before net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest, of approximately $43.5 million and $81.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, as compared to $55.5 million and $111.7 million for the same periods in 2012. Our comparative results were impacted by our 2013 acquisitions, among other factors. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we completed the acquisitions of SeaBright (on February 7, 2013), the Pavonia companies (on March 31, 2013), and Arden (on September 9, 2013). The change in consolidated net earnings for the three and nine-months periods was attributable primarily to the following:

Net premiums earned—Combined net premiums earned for our two operating segments were $58.7 million and $165.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to $0.8 million and $2.7 million for the same periods in 2012. The significant increase in 2013 was due to the acquisitions of

66

SeaBright and the Pavonia companies during the three months ended March 31, 2013, as described in greater detail in the segment discussion below. From September 9, 2013, the date of acquisition of Arden, to September 30, 2013, there were no net premiums earned relating to Arden.

Net investment income—Net investment income was $25.0 million and $70.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, as compared to $19.7 million and $61.0 million for the same periods in 2012. The increase in each of the periods during 2013 was primarily attributable to the net investment income earned on a larger base of cash and fixed maturity investments as a result of the SeaBright, Pavonia and Arden transactions, although this was partially offset by lower reinvestment yields on new purchases of fixed maturity investments.

Net realized and unrealized gains on investments—Net realized and unrealized gains were $37.0 million and $39.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, as compared to $28.3 million and $55.4 million for the same periods in 2012. The increase in net realized and unrealized gains between the three months ended September 30, 2013 and the same period in 2012 was largely due to increases in net realized and unrealized gains on our equities and other investments, partially offset by lower net realized and unrealized gains on our fixed income securities. The decrease in net realized and unrealized gains between the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and the same period in 2012 was primarily attributable to net realized and unrealized losses in 2013 of $22.5 million on our fixed income securities, due largely to increases in U.S. interest rates when applied to a larger base of fixed maturity investments following the acquisitions of SeaBright and the Pavonia companies (as compared to net realized and unrealized gains of $30.2 million in the same period in 2012), although this was partially offset by increases in our net realized and unrealized gains on our equities and other investments.

Net reduction in ultimate losses and loss adjustment expense liabilities—Excluding net ultimate losses relating to SeaBright of $28.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, net reduction in ultimate losses and loss adjustment expense liabilities were $44.6 million and $62.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Excluding net ultimate losses relating to SeaBright of $100.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, net reduction in ultimate losses and loss adjustment expense liabilities were $126.9 million and $141.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The movements for both the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 relate entirely to our non-life run-off segment and are described in greater detail in the segment discussion below.

Life and annuity policy benefits—Life and annuity policy benefits were $33.3 million and $63.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to $0.8 million and $2.7 million for the same periods in 2012. The significant increase in 2013 is due predominantly to the acquisition of the Pavonia companies and is described in greater detail in the segment discussion below.

Salaries and benefits—Salaries and benefits were $29.7 million and $79.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to $25.1 million and $70.0 million for the same periods in 2012. The increases of $4.6 million and $9.0 million, respectively, were primarily due to the salaries and benefits costs associated with both the SeaBright and Pavonia acquisitions, partially offset by a reduction in our bonus accrual amount for 2013 due to lower net earnings.

General and administrative expenses—General and administrative expenses were $29.1 million and $67.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to $14.4 million and $43.4 million for the same periods in 2012. The increases of $14.7 million and $23.7 million, respectively, were mostly due to the general and administrative expenses incurred in 2013 associated with the SeaBright, Pavonia, and Arden acquisitions along with arrangement and agency fees associated with our amended and restated revolving credit facility.

67

Income tax expense—Income tax expenses were $1.3 million and $13.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to $14.7 million and $30.3 million for the same periods in 2012. Income tax expense is generated through our foreign operations outside of Bermuda, principally in the United States, U.K and Australia. Our income tax expense may fluctuate significantly from period to period depending on the geographic distribution of pre-tax earnings or loss in any given period between different jurisdictions with different tax rates.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 and 2012

Non-life Run-off Segment

In our non-life run-off segment, we reported consolidated net earnings, before net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest, of approximately $42.3 million and $54.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The decrease in earnings of approximately $12.4 million was attributable primarily to the following:

(i) a decrease of $17.9 million in net reduction in ultimate losses and loss adjustment expense liabilities (excluding losses incurred relating to premiums earned by SeaBright in the period of $28.1 million);

(ii) an increase of $9.6 million in general and administrative expenses;

(iii) a decrease of $4.1 million in net investment income; and

(iv) an increase of $3.1 million in salaries and benefits; partially offset by

(v) a decrease of $13.2 million in income tax expense; and

(vi) an increase of $8.0 million in net realized and unrealized gains.

Noncontrolling interest in earnings decreased by $4.3 million to $3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as a result of lower earnings in those companies in which there are noncontrolling interests. Net earnings attributable to Enstar Group Limited decreased by $8.1 million from $46.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 to $38.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013.

Net Premiums Earned:

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2013			Variance			2012
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Gross premiums written	$	1,394					$	—
Ceded reinsurance premiums written		(1,825	)					—
Net premiums written	$	(431	)	$	(431	)	$	—
Gross premiums earned	$	30,758					$	—
Ceded reinsurance premiums earned		(2,624	)					—
Net premiums earned	$	28,134		$	28,134		$	—

Premiums Written

Gross premiums written consist of direct premiums written and premiums assumed by SeaBright from the National Council on Compensation Insurance (or NCCI) residual market pools. Upon acquisition, SeaBright was placed into run-off and, as a result, stopped writing new insurance policies. SeaBright was renewing expiring insurance policies when it was obligated to do so by regulators, but has now received approvals from all states relieving it of this obligation.

Gross and net premiums written by SeaBright for the three months ended September 30, 2013 totaled $1.4 million and $(0.4) million, respectively. Now that SeaBright’s exit from the mandatory renewal process has been approved, we expect that SeaBright will no longer generate premiums written other than for small adjustments related to premium audits and reinstatement premiums on previously written policies.

Premiums Earned

Our gross premiums earned totaled $30.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. Ceded reinsurance premiums earned for the three months ended September 30, 2013 were $2.6 million. Accordingly,

69

net premiums earned totaled $28.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. With SeaBright no longer generating written premiums, we expect that the current unearned premiums associated with SeaBright will continue to be realized in the next few periods, and will be fully earned by the second quarter of 2014.

Net Investment Income and Net Realized and Unrealized Gains:

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	Net Investment Income							Net Realized and Unrealized Gains
	2013		Variance			2012		2013		Variance		2012
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Total	$	15,290	$	(4,109	)	$	19,399	$	35,515	$	8,048	$	27,467

Net investment income for the three months ended September 30, 2013 decreased by $4.1 million to $15.3 million, as compared to $19.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease was primarily a result of lower yields obtained on the cash and fixed income portfolios as securities with higher yields matured and were reinvested at lower yields. This decrease was partially offset by net investment income attributable to higher cash and investment balances due to the SeaBright and Arden transactions, which closed on February 7, 2013 and September 9, 2013, respectively.

Net realized and unrealized gains for the three months ended September 30, 2013 increased by $8.0 million to $35.5 million, as compared to $27.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily attributable to a combination of the following:

(i) an increase of $11.8 million in net unrealized and realized gains due to greater amounts invested in, and improved performance of, our private equity and other investment holdings; and

(ii) an increase of $3.6 million in net unrealized and realized gains due to greater amounts invested in, and improved performance of, our equity portfolios; partially offset by

(iii) net unrealized and realized gains related to fixed income securities of $7.9 million (including $1.6 million related to SeaBright) for the three months ended September 30, 2013, which was a $7.4 million decrease from net unrealized and realized gains of $15.3 million for the same period in 2012. This decrease was due largely to the stabilization of U.S. interest rates during the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to spread compression, particularly in our structured credit and corporate bond positions, for the same period in 2012.

The below table presents the annualized investment returns (inclusive of net investment income and net realized and unrealized gains) that we have earned on our investments for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012:

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	Annualized Return						Average Cash and Investment Balances

Combined overall return		4.19	%		4.26	%		4,855,307		4,401,265

The average credit ratings of our fixed maturity investments as at September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012 were A+ and AA-, respectively.

Net Reduction in Ultimate Losses and Loss Adjustment Expense Liabilities:

The following table shows the components of the movement in the net reduction in ultimate losses and loss adjustment expense liabilities for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012:

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2013									2012

Net reduction (increase) in ultimate losses and loss adjustment expense liabilities	$	44,610		$	(28,134	)	$	16,476		$	62,547		$	—	$	62,547

Net change in case and loss adjustment expense reserves, or LAE reserves, comprises the movement during the quarter in specific case reserve liabilities as a result of claims settlements or changes advised to us by our policyholders and attorneys, less changes in case reserves recoverable advised by us to our reinsurers as a result of the settlement or movement of assumed claims. Net change in IBNR reserves represents the change in our actuarial estimates of losses incurred but not reported, less amounts recoverable.

The net reduction in ultimate losses and loss adjustment expense liabilities for the three months ended September 30, 2013 of $16.5 million included incurred losses and net change in IBNR reserves of $28.1 million related to premiums earned in the period by SeaBright. Excluding SeaBright’s increase in net ultimate losses of $28.1 million, ultimate losses and loss adjustment expense liabilities relating to prior periods were reduced by $44.6 million, which was attributable to a reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $27.9 million, a reduction in provision for bad debt of $5.5 million and a reduction in provisions for unallocated loss adjustment expense liabilities of $16.3 million, relating to 2013 run-off activity, partially offset by amortization of fair value adjustments of $5.0 million.

Excluding the impact of net ultimate losses of $28.1 million relating to SeaBright, the reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $27.9 million (comprised of net incurred loss development of $10.6 million and reduction in IBNR reserves of $38.5 million) related primarily to:

(i) our review of historic case reserves for which no updated advices had been received for a number of years. This review identified the redundancy of a number of advised case reserves with an estimated aggregate value of approximately $10.4 million;

(ii) an aggregate reduction in IBNR reserves of $12.4 million as a result of the application, on a basis consistent with the assumptions applied in the prior period, of our actuarial methodologies to revised historical loss development data to estimate loss reserves required to cover liabilities for unpaid losses

71

and loss adjustment expenses relating to non-commuted exposures in ten of our insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries. The prior period estimate of aggregate net IBNR liabilities for these subsidiaries was reduced as a result of the combined impact on all classes of business of loss development activity during 2013, including commutations and the favorable trend of loss development related to non-commuted policies compared to prior forecasts; and

(iii) a reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $5.0 million following the completion of one commutation of assumed reinsurance liabilities.

The reduction in provisions for bad debt of $5.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 resulted from the collection of receivables against which bad debt provisions had been provided for in earlier periods.

The net reduction in ultimate losses and loss adjustment expense liabilities for the three months ended September 30, 2012 of $62.5 million was attributable to a reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $58.5 million and a reduction in provisions for unallocated loss adjustment expense liabilities of $12.6 million, relating to 2012 run-off activity, partially offset by the amortization of fair value adjustments of $8.5 million.

The reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $58.5 million (comprised of net favorable incurred loss development of $24.2 million and reductions in IBNR reserves of $34.3 million) related primarily to:

(i) our review of historic case reserves for eleven of our insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries for which no updated advices had been received for a number of years. This review confirmed the redundancy of approximately 4,400 advised case reserves with an aggregate value of $27.6 million;

(ii) an aggregate reduction in IBNR reserves of $9.7 million as a result of the application, on a basis consistent with the assumptions applied in the prior period, of our actuarial methodologies to revised historical loss development data to estimate loss reserves required to cover liabilities for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expense relating to non-commuted exposures in twelve of our insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries. The prior period estimate of aggregate net IBNR liabilities for these subsidiaries was reduced as a result of the combined impact on all classes of business of loss development activity during 2012, including commutations and the favorable trend of loss development related to non-commuted policies compared to prior forecasts; and

72

(iii) a reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $21.2 million following the completion of two commutations and four policy buybacks and settlements of assumed reinsurance liabilities.

(1) We have reclassified outstanding losses and loss adjustment expense liabilities of $12.7 million to policy benefits for life and annuity contracts as at July 1, 2012 to conform to the current period presentation. This amount is associated with Laguna Life Limited, or Laguna, which now forms part of our life and annuities segment that was established following the acquisition of the Pavonia companies.

Salaries and Benefits:

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2013		Variance			2012
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Total	$	28,213	$	(3,147	)	$	25,066

Salaries and benefits, which include expenses relating to our discretionary bonus and employee share plans, were $28.2 million and $25.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The principal changes in salaries and benefits were:

(i) an increase in staff costs associated with increased headcount primarily related to our acquisition of SeaBright (for the three months ended September 30, 2013 our average headcount was 580 as compared to 395 for the same period in 2012); partially offset by

(ii) a decrease in bonus accrual of approximately $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to 2012. Expenses relating to our discretionary bonus plan will be variable and are dependent on our overall profitability.

73

We expect salaries and benefits expenses to increase in future periods as a result of the anticipated increase in headcount upon completion of the Atrium and Torus acquisitions.

General and Administrative Expenses:

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2013		Variance			2012
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Total	$	23,781	$	(9,581	)	$	14,200

General and administrative expenses increased by $9.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to the same period in 2012.

The increase in expenses for 2013 related primarily to

(i) an increase in bank fees of $6.6 million, attributable to arrangement and agency fees paid in relation to the amendment of our revolving credit facility; and

(ii) general and administrative expenses of $2.4 million incurred in connection with the 2013 acquisitions of SeaBright and Arden.

We expect general and administrative expenses to be higher in 2013 over 2012 levels due primarily to the SeaBright, Arden and pending Atrium acquisitions, and we expect increased general and administrative expenses in 2014 due to the Torus acquisition.

Interest Expense:

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2013		Variance			2012
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Total	$	2,796	$	(1,083	)	$	1,713

Interest expense of $2.8 million and $1.7 million was recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase in interest expense was attributable predominantly to the increase in the interest paid as a result of an increased total amount of loans outstanding during the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012. In 2013, we drew down on a term loan facility entered into to partially finance the SeaBright acquisition and made several draws on our revolving credit facility, as compared to no such draws in 2012.

Income Tax Expense:

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2013		Variance		2012
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Total	$	1,356	$	13,291	$	14,647

We recorded income tax expense of $1.4 million and $14.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The decrease in taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was due predominantly to lower overall net earnings in our taxable subsidiaries as compared to those earned in the same period in 2012.

74

Noncontrolling Interest:

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2013		Variance		2012
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Total	$	3,469	$	4,307	$	7,776

We recorded a noncontrolling interest in earnings of $3.5 million and $7.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The decrease in noncontrolling interest for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was due primarily to a decrease in earnings for those companies where there exists a noncontrolling interest. For the three months ended September 30, 2013, we have included the noncontrolling interest of Trident in relation to its 40% interests in Northshore and Bayshore, both of which Trident acquired in the third quarter of 2013.

Life and Annuities Segment

On March 31, 2013, we acquired the Pavonia companies and, as a result, reevaluated our segment reporting. As part of that reevaluation, we have included the results of Laguna within the life and annuities segment for both the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. With the acquisition of the Pavonia companies in 2013, our results for the life and annuities segment are substantially different from 2012, when we only owned Laguna.

Net Premiums Earned:

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2013		Variance		2012
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Term life insurance	$	7,565	$	6,743	$	822
Assumed life reinsurance		1,603		1,603		—
Credit life and disability		19,831		19,831		—
Other products		1,541		1,541		—
	$	30,540			$	822

Net premiums earned were $30.5 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Term life premiums consist primarily of monthly premium collections coupled with annual premiums earned as collected. The term life business consists of 10, 15, 20 and 30 year direct term business with approximately 90% of premiums to be earned over the next 20 years. The assumed life reinsurance premiums will continue to be earned until the year 2052; however, approximately 70% are expected to be earned within the next ten years. Credit life and disability premiums are fixed monthly premiums received on credit products that mostly consist of sub-prime mortgages in the U.S. and Canada; approximately 90% of these premiums are expected to be earned before the year 2023. Other products in our Pavonia companies primarily consist of employment and property insurance related to sub-prime mortgages. Substantially all net premiums earned in 2013 relate to the acquisition of the Pavonia companies. The premiums are expected to reduce by approximately 15-20% per annum as the blocks of business continue to run-off and policies lapse.

For our life and annuities business, our strategy differs from our non-life run-off business, in particular because we are unable to shorten the duration of the liabilities in these businesses through either commutations or policy buy-backs. Instead, we will hold the policies associated with the life and annuities business to their natural maturity.

Net premiums earned in 2012 relate to the Laguna term life business.

Net Investment Income and Net Realized and Unrealized Gains:

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	Net Investment Income						Net Realized and Unrealized Gains
	2013		Variance		2012		2013		Variance		2012
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Total	$	9,719	$	9,460	$	259	$	1,495	$	682	$	813

Net investment income for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $9.7 million and $0.3 million, respectively. The increase was primarily due to the inclusion of the cash and fixed income securities associated with the acquisition of the Pavonia companies on March 31, 2013.

Net realized and unrealized gains for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were $1.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively. The increase in net realized and unrealized gains of $0.7 million was primarily due to gains on fixed income investments acquired with the Pavonia companies due primarily to stabilizing U.S. interest rates during the three-month period ended September 30, 2013.

Our fixed maturity investments associated with our PPA business are primarily highly rated corporate bonds with which we attempt to match duration and cash flows to the liability profile for this business. As these fixed maturity investments are classified as held-to-maturity, we invest surplus cash flows from maturities into longer dated fixed maturities. As at September 30, 2013, the duration of our fixed maturity investment portfolio associated with our PPA business was shorter than the liabilities, as a significant amount of the liabilities extend beyond 30 years and it is difficult, due to limited investment options, to match duration and cash flows beyond that period.

Our fixed maturity investments associated with our non-PPA life business are primarily highly rated corporate bonds with which we attempt to match duration and cash flows to the liability profile for this business (the non-PPA business has a short duration liability profile). These fixed maturity investments are classified as trading, and therefore we may sell existing securities to buy higher yielding securities and funds in the future. As at September 30, 2013, the duration of our fixed maturity investment portfolio associated with our non-PPA life business was shorter than the liabilities, however, we have the discretion to change this in the future.

The overall annualized investment return (inclusive of net investment income and net realized and unrealized gains) that we earned on our investments for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, was 3.27% and 8.80%, respectively.

Life and annuity policy benefits were $33.3 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. PPA benefits paid during the three months ended September 30,

76

2013 were $11.9 million, which was an average of approximately $4.0 million per month, offset by a reduction in PPA benefit reserves of $6.4 million. Net ultimate change in life benefit reserves of $27.8 million was comprised of net life claims benefits paid and net change in life claims benefit reserves of $15.5 million, commissions of $2.3 million and amortization of fair value adjustments of $10.1 million.

Salaries and Benefits:

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2013		Variance			2012
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Total	$	1,503	$	(1,431	)	$	72

Salaries and benefits, which include expenses relating to our discretionary bonus and employee share plans, were $1.5 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase in costs was attributable to the 47 person increase in headcount associated with the acquisition of the Pavonia companies, which has subsequently fallen to 44 during the three months ended September 30, 2013. As at September 30, 2013, the life and annuities segment had 47 employees, inclusive of Laguna employees, based in our offices in the U.S. and Ireland.

General and administrative expenses were $5.3 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Included within general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2013 were $3.1 million related to legal and professional fees. The remaining $2.2 million included costs associated with information technology costs, rent, bank charges and other expenses, of which approximately $1.0 million related to non-recurring transition costs associated with the acquisition and integration of the Pavonia companies.

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 and 2012

Non-life Run-off Segment

In our non-life run-off segment, we reported consolidated net earnings, before net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest, of approximately $84.2 million and $110.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The decrease in earnings of approximately $26.7 million was primarily attributable to the following:

(i) a decrease of $14.8 million in net reduction in ultimate loss and loss adjustment expense liabilities (excluding losses incurred relating to premiums earned by SeaBright in the period of $100.3 million);

(ii) an increase of $13.4 million in general and administrative expenses;

(iii) a decrease of $10.2 million in net investment income;

(iv) an increase of $6.6 million in salaries and benefits; and

(v) a decrease of $5.1 million in net realized and unrealized gains; partially offset by

(vi) a decrease of $16.6 million in income tax expense; and

(vii) a net foreign exchange gain of $4.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, which was a $6.8 million increase from the net foreign exchange loss for the same period in 2012.

Noncontrolling interest in earnings decreased by $3.1 million to $10.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as a result of lower earnings in those companies in which there are noncontrolling interests. Net earnings attributable to Enstar Group Limited decreased by $23.6 million from $97.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to $73.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Net Premiums Earned:

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2013			Variance		2012
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Gross premiums written	$	17,936				$	—
Ceded reinsurance premiums written		(7,489	)				—
Net premiums written	$	10,447		$	10,447	$	—
Gross premiums earned	$	110,308				$	—
Ceded reinsurance premiums earned		(10,038	)				—
Net premiums earned	$	100,270		$	100,270	$	—

Premiums Written

Gross and net premiums written by SeaBright from the date of the acquisition to September 30, 2013 totaled $17.9 million and $10.4 million, respectively. Now that SeaBright’s exit from the mandatory renewal process has been approved, we expect that SeaBright will no longer generate premiums written other than for small adjustments related to premium audits and reinstatement premiums on previously written policies.

Premiums Earned

Our gross premiums earned totaled $110.3 million for the period from the date of acquisition to September 30, 2013. Ceded reinsurance premiums earned for the period from the date of the SeaBright acquisition to September 30, 2013 totaled $10.0 million. Accordingly, net premiums earned totaled $100.3 million for the period from the date of acquisition to September 30, 2013. With SeaBright no longer generating written premiums, we expect that the current unearned premiums associated with SeaBright will continue to be realized in the next few periods, and will be fully earned by the second quarter of 2014.

Net Investment Income and Net Realized and Unrealized Gains:

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	Net Investment Income							Net Realized and Unrealized Gains
	2013		Variance			2012		2013		Variance			2012
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Total	$	50,162	$	(10,166	)	$	60,328	$	48,555	$	(5,101	)	$	53,656

Net investment income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 decreased by $10.1 million to $50.2 million, as compared to $60.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease was primarily a result of lower yields obtained on our cash and fixed income portfolios, as securities with higher yields matured and were reinvested at lower yields. This decrease was partially offset by net investment income attributable to higher cash and investments balances due to the SeaBright and Arden transactions, which closed on February 7, 2013 and September 9, 2013, respectively.

Net realized and unrealized gains for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 decreased by $5.1 million to $48.6 million, as compared to $53.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease was primarily attributable to a combination of the following:

(i) net unrealized and realized losses related to fixed income securities of $22.5 million (including $8.5 million related to SeaBright) for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, which was a $52.7 million decrease from net unrealized and realized gains of $30.2 million for the same period in 2012. This decrease was due largely to increases in U.S. interest rates during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012; partially offset by

(ii) an increase of $36.7 million in net unrealized and realized gains due to greater amounts invested in, and improved performance of, our private equity and other investment holdings; and

(iii) an increase of $11.0 million in net unrealized and realized gains due to greater amounts invested in, and improved performance of, our equity portfolios.

The below table presents the annualized investment returns (inclusive of net investment income and net realized and unrealized gains) that we have earned on our investments for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012:

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	Annualized Return						Average Cash and Investment Balances
	2013			2012			2013		2012
							(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Cash and fixed maturities		0.70	%		2.69	%	$	4,121,144	$	4,031,789
Other investments and equities		16.25	%		8.96	%		591,600		381,011
Combined overall return		2.79	%		3.40	%		4,712,743		4,466,372

The average credit ratings of our fixed maturity investments as at September 30, 2013 and 2012 were A+ and AA-, respectively.

Reduction in provisions for unallocated loss adjustment expense liabilities		49,518			—			49,518			37,092			—		37,092
Amortization of fair value adjustments		(9,488	)		—			(9,488	)		(18,365	)		—		(18,365	)
Net reduction (increase) in ultimate losses and loss adjustment expense liabilities	$	126,908		$	(100,270	)	$	26,638		$	141,730		$	—	$	141,730

The net reduction in ultimate losses and loss adjustment expense liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 of $26.6 million included incurred losses and net change in IBNR reserves of $100.3 million related to premiums earned in the period by SeaBright. Excluding SeaBright’s increases in estimates of net ultimate losses of $100.3 million, ultimate losses and loss adjustment expense liabilities relating to prior periods were reduced by $126.9 million, which was attributable to a reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $81.4 million, a reduction in provisions for bad debt of $5.5 million and a reduction in provisions for unallocated loss adjustment expense liabilities of $49.5 million, relating to 2013 run-off activity, partially offset by amortization of fair value adjustments of $9.5 million.

Excluding the impact of net ultimate losses of $100.3 million relating to SeaBright, the reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $81.4 million (comprised of net favorable incurred loss development of $4.3 million and reduction in IBNR reserves of $77.1 million) related primarily to:

(i) our review of historic case reserves for which no updated advices had been received for a number of years. This review identified the redundancy of a number of advised case reserves with an estimated aggregate value of approximately $27.0 million;

(ii) a reduction in estimated of net ultimate losses of $21.7 million relating to the settlement of six commutations and policy buy-backs of assumed and ceded exposures including the commutation of one of our top ten ceded reinsurance balances recoverable; and

(iii) an aggregate reduction in IBNR reserves of $32.7 million as a result of the application, on a basis consistent with the assumptions applied in the prior period, of our actuarial methodologies to revised historical loss development data to estimate loss reserves required to cover liabilities for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses relating to non-commuted exposures in eleven of our insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries. The prior period estimate of aggregate net IBNR liabilities for these subsidiaries was reduced as a result of the combined impact on all classes of business of loss development activity during 2013, including commutations and the favorable trend of loss development related to non-commuted policies compared to prior forecasts.

81

The reduction in provisions for bad debt of $5.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 resulted from the collection of receivables against which bad debt provisions had been provided for in earlier periods.

The net reduction in ultimate losses and loss adjustment expense liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 of $141.7 million was attributable to a reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $120.2 million, a reduction in provisions for bad debt of $2.8 million and a reduction in provisions for unallocated loss adjustment expense liabilities of $37.1 million, relating to 2012 run-off activity, partially offset by the amortization of fair value adjustments of $18.4 million.

The reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $120.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 (comprised of net favorable incurred loss development of $56.7 million and reductions in IBNR reserves of $63.5 million) related primarily to:

(i) our review of historic case reserves for eleven of our insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries for which no updated advices had been received for a number of years. This review confirmed the redundancy of approximately 4,400 advised case reserves with an aggregate value of $27.6 million;

(ii) an aggregate reduction in IBNR reserves of $9.7 million as a result of the application, on a basis consistent with the assumptions applied in the prior period, of our actuarial methodologies to revised historical loss development data to estimate loss reserves required to cover liabilities for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses relating to non-commuted exposures in twelve of our most seasoned insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries. The prior period estimate of aggregate net IBNR liabilities for these subsidiaries was reduced as a result of the combined impact on all classes of business of loss development activity during 2012, including commutations and the favorable trend of loss development related to non-commuted policies compared to prior forecasts; and

(iii) a reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $82.9 million following the completion of eight commutations and four policy buybacks and settlements of assumed reinsurance liabilities, including one of our largest ten policyholder exposures as at January 1, 2012, and two commutations of ceded reinsurance recoverables, one of which was among our largest ten reinsurance recoverable balances as at January 1, 2012.

The reduction in provisions for bad debt of $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 resulted from the collection of receivables against which bad debt provisions had been provided for in earlier periods.

(1) We have reclassified outstanding losses and loss adjustment expense liabilities of $11.0 million and $10.8 million to policy benefits for life and annuity contracts as at January 1, 2013 and 2012, respectively, to conform to the current period presentation. These amounts are associated with Laguna which now forms part of our life and annuities segment that was established following the acquisition of the Pavonia companies.

Salaries and Benefits:

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2013		Variance			2012
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Total	$	76,303	$	(6,627	)	$	69,676

Salaries and benefits, which include expenses relating to our discretionary bonus and employee share plans, were $76.3 million and $69.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The principal changes in salaries and benefits were:

(i) an increase in staff costs associated with increased headcount primarily related to our acquisition of SeaBright (for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 our average headcount was 560 as compared to 402 for the same period in 2012); partially offset by

(ii) a decrease in the bonus accrual of approximately $4.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to 2012. Expenses relating to our bonus plan will be variable and are dependent on our overall profitability.

83

General and Administrative Expenses:

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2013		Variance			2012
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Total	$	55,485	$	(13,370	)	$	42,115

General and administrative expenses increased by $13.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to the same period in 2012. The $13.4 million increase was due primarily to:

(i) general and administrative expenses of $8.9 million incurred by SeaBright and Arden from their dates of acquisition to September 30, 2013 (comprised principally of professional fees of $3.7 million, rent and rent related expenses of $2.1 million and other fees and expenses of $3.1 million);

(ii) an increase in bank fees of $5.2 million, primarily related to arrangement and agency fees paid in relation to the amendment of our revolving credit facility; and

(iii) an increase in computer and related expenses of approximately $1.6 million due primarily to ongoing technology infrastructure projects; partially offset by

(iv) a decrease in professional fees of approximately $2.6 million due primarily to decreased legal fees and settlement costs associated with due diligence projects and decreased other professional and consulting fees.

Interest Expense:

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2013		Variance			2012
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Total	$	7,847	$	(1,961	)	$	5,886

Interest expense of $7.8 million and $5.9 million was recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase in interest expense was attributable predominantly to the increase in the interest paid as a result of an increased total amount of loans outstanding during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012.

Net Foreign Exchange Gains (Losses):

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2013		Variance		2012
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Total	$	4,122	$	6,844	$	(2,722	)

We recorded net foreign exchange gains (losses) of $4.1 million and $(2.7) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The net foreign exchange gains for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 arose primarily as a result of holding surplus U.S. dollar assets in one of our subsidiaries whose functional currency is Australian dollars at a time when the Australian dollar depreciated sharply against the U.S. dollar. The Australian dollar to U.S. dollar exchange rate decreased from AU$1 = $1.0382 at December 31, 2012 to AU$1 = $0.9350 at September 30, 2013, a decrease of 9.9% for the period. These gains were partially offset by net foreign exchange losses incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 arising as a result of holding surplus British pound assets at a time when the U.S. dollar was appreciating against this currency, along with net foreign exchange losses in the fair value of our Australian dollar forward exchange contract.

84

The net foreign exchange losses of $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 arose primarily as a result of the translation of a U.S dollar distribution in one of our subsidiaries whose functional currency is Australian dollars. The distribution was at a rate of approximately AU$1 = $1.08, which was in excess of the U.S. dollar foreign exchange rate at December 31, 2011 of approximately AU$1 = $1.025. In addition, we recorded net foreign exchange losses in the fair value of our Australian dollar and British pound forward exchange contracts. On February 8, 2012, we entered into two foreign currency forward exchange contracts, pursuant to which we sold AU$25.0 million for $26.2 million and AU$35.0 million for $36.1 million. The contracts had settlement dates of December 19, 2012 and May 10, 2013, respectively. In addition, we entered into a British pound forward exchange contract pursuant to which we sold 17.0 million British pounds for $26.6 million. The contract had a settlement date of March 6, 2013.

In addition to the net foreign exchange gains recorded in our consolidated statement of earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recorded in our condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income currency translation adjustment (losses) gains, net of noncontrolling interest, related to our non-life run-off segment of $(9.5) million and $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the currency translation adjustments related primarily to our Australian-based subsidiaries. As the functional currency of these subsidiaries is Australian dollars, we record any U.S. dollar gains or losses on the translation of their net Australian dollar assets through accumulated other comprehensive income.

Income Tax Expense:

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2013		Variance		2012
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Total	$	13,713	$	16,581	$	30,294

We recorded income tax expense of $13.7 million and $30.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The decrease in taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was due largely to lower overall net earnings in our taxable subsidiaries as compared to those earned in the same period in 2012 and from tax benefits that arose upon reductions in our uncertain tax positions.

Noncontrolling Interest:

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2013		Variance		2012
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Total	$	10,496	$	3,142	$	13,638

We recorded a noncontrolling interest in earnings of $10.5 million and $13.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The decrease in noncontrolling interest for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was due primarily to a decrease in earnings for those companies where there exists a noncontrolling interest. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we have included the noncontrolling interest of Trident in relation to its 40% interests in Northshore and Bayshore, which Trident acquired in the third quarter of 2013.

Life and Annuities Segment

Primarily because we acquired the Pavonia companies on March 31, 2013, the results of operations for our life and annuities segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were substantially different compared to those for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, when we only owned Laguna.

85

Net Premiums Earned:

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2013		Variance		2012
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Term life insurance	$	17,350	$	14,658	$	2,692
Assumed life reinsurance		8,281		8,281		—
Credit life and disability		37,352		37,352		—
Other products		2,678		2,678		—
	$	65,661			$	2,692

Net premiums earned were $65.7 million and $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Substantially all net premiums earned in 2013 relate to the acquisition of the Pavonia companies. The premiums are expected to reduce by approximately 15-20% per annum as the blocks of business continue to run-off and policies lapse.

Net premiums earned in 2012 relate to the Laguna term life business.

Net investment income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $20.1 million and $0.7 million, respectively. The increase was primarily due to the inclusion of the cash and fixed income securities associated with the acquisition of the Pavonia companies on March 31, 2013.

Net realized and unrealized (losses) gains for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were $(9.3) million and $1.7 million, respectively. The increase in net realized and unrealized losses of $11.0 million was primarily due to the unrealized losses on fixed income investments acquired with the Pavonia companies, largely due to increases in U.S. interest rates during the nine-month period ending September 30, 2013.

The overall annualized investment return (inclusive of net investment income and net realized and unrealized (losses) gains) that we earned on our investments for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, was 1.53% and 6.56%, respectively.

Salaries and benefits, which include expenses relating to our discretionary bonus and employee share plans, were $2.7 million and $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase in costs was attributable to the increase in headcount associated with the acquisition of the Pavonia companies. As at September 30, 2013 and 2012, the life and annuities segment had 47 and 3 employees, respectively, based in our offices in the U.S. and Ireland.

General and administrative expenses were $11.6 million and $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Included within general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were $6.5 million related to legal and professional fees. The remaining $5.1 million included costs associated with information technology costs, rent, bank charges and other expenses, of which approximately $4.0 million related to non-recurring transition costs associated with the acquisition and integration of the Pavonia companies.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our capital management strategy is to preserve sufficient capital to enable us to make future acquisitions while maintaining a conservative investment strategy. As we are a holding company and have no substantial operations of our own, our assets consist primarily of investments in subsidiaries. The potential sources of the cash flows to Enstar as a holding company consist of dividends, advances and loans from our subsidiary companies. Most of those subsidiaries are regulated entities, and restrictions on their ability to pay dividends and make other distributions may apply.

At September 30, 2013, we had total cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents and investments of $6.36 billion, compared to $4.31 billion at December 31, 2012. The increase of $2.05 billion was primarily a result of the completion of the SeaBright, Pavonia and Arden acquisitions. Our cash and cash equivalents portfolio is comprised mainly of cash, high-grade fixed deposits, commercial paper with maturities of less than three months and money market funds. We expect our total cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents and investments to increase once the acquisitions of Atrium and Torus are completed.

Reinsurance Recoverables

Non-life Run-off

As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had total non-life run-off reinsurance balances recoverable of $1.36 billion and $1.12 billion, respectively. The increase of $241.5 million in total non-life run-off reinsurance balances recoverable was primarily a result of the completion of acquisitions in the period, partially offset by commutations and cash collections made during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the provision for uncollectible reinsurance recoverable relating to total non-life run-off reinsurance balances recoverable was $337.4 million and $343.9 million, respectively. To estimate the provision for uncollectible reinsurance recoverable, the balances are first allocated to applicable reinsurers. This determination is based on a detailed process, although management judgment is involved. As part of this process, ceded IBNR reserves are allocated by reinsurer. The ratio of the provision for uncollectible reinsurance recoverable to total non-life run-off reinsurance balances recoverable (excluding provision for uncollectible reinsurance recoverable) as of September 30, 2013 decreased to 19.8% as compared to 23.4% as of December 31, 2012, primarily as a result of reinsurance balances recoverable of companies acquired during the period against which there were minimal provisions for uncollectible reinsurance recoverable.

Life and Annuities

As at September 30, 2013, the $31.2 million of reinsurance balances recoverable associated with our life and annuities business consisted of term life business ceded by Pavonia to reinsurers under various quota share arrangements. All of the reinsurers are rated A- and above by a major rating agency.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our consolidated cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012:

See “Item 1. Financial Statements—Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the Nine Month Periods Ended September 30, 2013 and 2012” for further information.

Operating

Net cash used in our operating activities for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 was $125.6 million compared to $256.1 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012. This $130.5 million decrease in cash used in our operating activities was due primarily to the following:

(i) an increase of $354.0 million in the sales and maturities of trading securities between 2013 and 2012; and

(ii) an increase in the net changes in assets and liabilities of $38.6 million between 2013 and 2012; partially offset by

(iii) an increase of $248.8 million in the purchases of trading securities between 2013 and 2012.

88

Investing

Investing cash flows consist primarily of cash acquired net of acquisitions along with net proceeds on the sale and maturities of available-for-sale securities and other investments. Net cash used in investing activities was $263.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $197.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. This $461.0 million decrease in investing cash flows was due primarily to the following:

(i) the use of $308.7 million in net cash for the acquisitions of SeaBright, Pavonia and Arden during the nine months ended September 30, 2013;

(ii) a decrease of $115.4 million in the sales and maturities of available-for-sale securities between 2013 and 2012; and

(iii) an increase of $170.7 million in restricted cash and cash equivalents between 2013 and 2012; partially offset by

(iv) a decrease of $114.6 million in the funding of other investments between 2013 and 2012.

Financing

Net cash provided by financing activities was $266.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to net cash used of $142.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. This $408.1 million increase in cash provided by financing activities was largely attributable to the following:

(i) an increase of $274.8 million in cash received attributable to bank loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 primarily in connection with our acquisition funding requirements;

(ii) a decrease of $76.4 million in cash used to repay bank loans between 2013 and 2012;

(iii) a decrease of $24.5 million in dividends and distributions of capital to noncontrolling interest between 2013 and 2012; and

(iv) an increase of $32.5 million in contributions of capital from a noncontrolling interest in connection with the Arden acquisition.

As at September 30, 2013, we held investments on our balance sheet totaling $5.46 billion, compared to $3.35 billion at December 31, 2012, with net unrealized appreciation included in accumulated comprehensive income of $5.0 million compared to $5.7 million at December 31, 2012. As at September 30, 2013, we had approximately $2.51 billion of restricted assets compared to approximately $1.03 billion at December 31, 2012. The increase of approximately $1.48 billion in restricted assets related primarily to restricted assets acquired in connection with our 2013 acquisition activity.

We strive to structure our investments in a manner that recognizes our liquidity needs for future liabilities. In that regard, we attempt to correlate the maturity and duration of our investment portfolio to our general liability profile. If our liquidity needs or general liability profile unexpectedly change, we may adjust the structure of our investment portfolio to meet new business needs.

For our non-life run-off segment, our strategy of commuting our liabilities has the potential to accelerate the natural payout of losses. Therefore, we maintain a relatively short-duration investment portfolio in order to provide liquidity for commutation opportunities and avoid having to liquidate longer dated investments. Accordingly, the majority of our investment portfolio consists of highly rated fixed maturities, including U.S. government and agency investments, highly rated sovereign and supranational investments, high-grade corporate investments, and mortgage-backed and asset-backed investments. We allocate a portion of our investment portfolio to other investments, including private equity funds, fixed income funds, fixed income hedge funds, an equity fund and a real estate debt fund. At September 30, 2013, these other investments totaled $518.3 million, or 9.5%, of our total balance sheet investments (December 31, 2012: $414.8 million or 12.4%). The trend of increased allocation in absolute terms to our other investments is likely to continue in the future based on continued funding of our existing outstanding investment commitments along with future acquisitions.

For our life and annuities segment, we do not commute our policy benefits for life and annuity contracts liabilities and, as a result, we maintain a longer duration investment portfolio that attempts to match the cash flows and duration of our liability profile. Accordingly, the majority of this portfolio consists of highly rated fixed maturity investments, primarily corporate bonds.

Our fixed maturity investments associated with our PPA business are primarily highly rated corporate bonds with which we attempt to match duration and cash flows to the liability profile for this business. As these fixed maturity investments are classified as held-to-maturity, we invest surplus cash flows from maturities into longer dated fixed maturities. As at September 30, 2013, the duration of our fixed maturity investment portfolio associated with our PPA business was shorter than the liabilities, as a significant amount of the liabilities extend beyond 30 years and it is difficult, due to limited investment options, to match duration and cash flows beyond that period.

Our fixed maturity investments associated with our non-PPA life business are primarily highly rated corporate bonds with which we attempt to match duration and cash flows to the liability profile for this business (the non-PPA life business has a short-duration liability profile). These fixed maturity investments are classified

90

as trading, and therefore we may sell existing securities to buy higher yielding securities and funds in the future. As at September 30, 2013, the duration of our fixed maturity investment portfolio associated with our non-PPA life business was shorter than the liabilities, however, we have the discretion to change this in the future.

Fixed Maturity Investments

At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, our fixed maturity investments rated BBB or lower comprised 11.8% and 11.3% of our total investment portfolio, respectively.

As at September 30, 2013, we had $397.9 million of short-term investments (December 31, 2012: $319.1 million). Short-term investments are managed as part of our investment portfolio and have a maturity of one year or less when purchased.

Fixed maturity investments issued by companies in the United Kingdom and Switzerland are not included in the tables above. None of the fixed maturity investments we owned at September 30, 2013 were considered impaired and we do not expect to incur any significant losses on those investments.

Long-Term Debt

Our long-term debt at September 30, 2013 consisted of loan facilities used to partially finance certain of our acquisitions and significant new business transactions, and our amended and restated revolving credit facility, or the EGL Revolving Credit Facility, which can be used for permitted acquisitions and for general corporate purposes. We draw down on the loan facilities at the time of an acquisition or significant new business transaction, although in some circumstances we have made additional draw-downs to refinance existing debt of the acquired company.

On February 5, 2013, we fully drew down the $111.0 million available under a four-year term loan facility provided by National Australia Bank and Barclays Bank PLC, or the SeaBright Facility, in connection with the acquisition of SeaBright. In addition, on February 5, 2013, March 26, 2013 and September 6, 2013 we borrowed $56.0 million, $60.0 million and $47.8 million, respectively, under the EGL Revolving Credit Facility.

Total amounts of loans payable outstanding, including accrued interest, as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, totaled $355.7 million and $107.4 million, respectively.

As of September 30, 2013, all of the covenants relating to our three outstanding credit facilities (the SeaBright Facility, the term facility related to our 2011 acquisition of Clarendon National Insurance Company, or the Clarendon Facility, and the EGL Revolving Credit Facility) were met.

Refer to Item 7 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 for a description of the SeaBright and Clarendon credit facilities.

Amendment and Restatement of EGL Revolving Credit Facility Agreement

On July 8, 2013, we, and certain of our subsidiaries, as borrowers, as well as certain of our subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into an amendment and restatement of our existing Revolving Credit Facility Agreement with National Australia Bank Limited, or NAB, and Barclays Bank PLC, or Barclays, as mandated lead arrangers, NAB, Barclays and Royal Bank of Canada, as original lenders, and NAB as agent, or the Restated Credit Agreement. The Restated Credit Agreement provides for a five-year EGL Revolving Credit Facility (expiring in July 2018) pursuant to which we are permitted to borrow up to an aggregate of $375.0 million, which is available to fund permitted acquisitions and for general corporate purposes. The previously existing Revolving Credit Facility Agreement had provided for a three-year $250.0 million facility that was set to terminate in June 2014. Our ability to draw on the EGL Revolving Credit Facility is subject to customary conditions.

The EGL Revolving Credit Facility is secured by a first priority lien on the stock of certain of our subsidiaries and certain bank accounts held with Barclays in our name and into which amounts received in respect of any capital release from certain of our subsidiaries are required to be paid. Interest is payable at the end of each interest period chosen by us or, at the latest, each six months. The interest rate is LIBOR plus 2.75%, plus an incremental amount tied to certain regulatory costs, if any, that may be incurred by the lenders. Any unused portion of the EGL Revolving Credit Facility will be subject to a commitment fee of 1.10%. The EGL Revolving Credit Facility imposes various financial and business covenants on us, the guarantors and certain other material subsidiaries, including limitations on mergers and consolidations, acquisitions, indebtedness and guarantees, restrictions as to dispositions of stock and assets, restrictions on dividends and limitations on liens.

During the existence of any event of default (as specified in the Restated Credit Agreement), the agent may cancel the commitments of the lenders, declare all or a portion of outstanding amounts immediately due and

96

payable, declare all or a portion of outstanding amounts payable upon demand or proceed against the security. During the existence of any payment default, the interest rate would be increased by 1.0%. The EGL Revolving Credit Facility terminates and all amounts borrowed must be repaid on the fifth anniversary of the date of the Restated Credit Agreement.

On September 6, 2013, we borrowed $47.8 million under the EGL Revolving Credit Facility to fund Kenmare’s portion of the purchase price for Arden.

SeaBright Surplus Notes

On August 26, 2013, we fully repaid the outstanding principal and accrued interest of $12.1 million associated with the subordinated floating rate surplus notes issued by SeaBright in a private placement in May 2004. Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and the period from February 7, 2013 (the date of acquisition of SeaBright) to September 30, 2013 was $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

Clarendon Facility

On July 31, 2013, we repaid $27.5 million of the outstanding principal on our Clarendon Facility reducing the outstanding principal as at September 30, 2013 to $79.0 million.

Aggregate Contractual Obligations

We have updated the amounts and categories of our contractual obligations previously provided on page 98 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 to reflect changes in gross reserves, operating lease obligations, investment commitments and loan repayments during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, as well as the assumption of policy benefits for life and annuity contracts as a result of the acquisition of the Pavonia companies.

(1) The reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses represent management’s estimate of the ultimate cost of settling losses. The estimation of losses is based on various complex and subjective judgments. Actual losses paid may differ, perhaps significantly, from the reserve estimates reflected in our financial statements. Similarly, the timing of payment of our estimated losses is not fixed and there may be significant changes in actual payment activity. The assumptions used in estimating the likely payments due

97

by period are based on our historical claims payment experience and industry payment patterns, but due to the inherent uncertainty in the process of estimating the timing of such payments, there is a risk that the amounts paid in any such period can be significantly different from the amounts disclosed above.

The amounts in the above table represent our estimates of known liabilities as of September 30, 2013 and do not take into account corresponding reinsurance recoverable amounts that would be due to us. Furthermore, reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2013 are computed on a fair value basis, whereas the expected payments by period in the table above are the estimated payments at a future time and do not reflect the fair value adjustment in the amount payable.

(2) Policy benefits for life and annuity contracts recorded in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as at September 30, 2013 of $1,288.1 million are computed on a discounted basis, whereas the expected payments by period in the table above are the estimated payments at a future time and do not reflect a discount of the amount payable.

(3) The acquisition funding does not include the amount associated with the expected future issuance by us of approximately 1,902,000 voting ordinary shares and 710,000 Series B convertible non-voting preference shares in relation to the acquisition of Torus.

Commitments and Contingencies

Investments

The following table provides a summary of our outstanding aggregate unfunded investment commitments as at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

$286,000	$183,486	$102,514	$251,000	$163,408	$87,592

Guarantees

As at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had, in total, parental guarantees supporting one of our subsidiary’s insurance obligations in the amount of $219.7 million and $213.3 million, respectively.

Acquisitions

We have entered into definitive agreements with respect to: (i) the Reciprocal of America loss portfolio transfer, which is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2013; (ii) the purchase of Atrium Underwriting Group Limited, which is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2013; and (iii) the Amalgamation of Veranda and Torus Insurance Holdings Limited, which is expected to close in the first quarter of 2014. The Torus and Atrium acquisition agreements are described above in “—Acquisitions,” and the Reciprocal of America agreement is described above in “—Significant New Business.”

In connection with the acquisitions of Torus and Atrium/Arden, we have entered into two separate Investors Agreements with Trident, entered into a Shareholders’ Agreement with Trident on September 6, 2013 in connection with the closing of the Arden acquisition (which will apply equally to the Atrium acquisition on closing), and will enter into a Shareholders’ Agreement with Trident at the closing of the Torus Amalgamation. Our obligations and rights relating to the Investors and Shareholders’ Agreements are described above in “—Acquisitions.”

Pursuant to the Amalgamation Agreement to acquire Torus, we have agreed that at the closing of the Amalgamation, we will issue a combination of Voting Ordinary Shares and Non-Voting Preferred Shares having a value of approximately $346.0 million to partially fund the purchase price, as described above in “—Acquisitions—

98

Torus Insurance Holdings Limited.” At closing, we will also enter into a Shareholder Rights Agreement with First Reserve and a Registration Rights Agreement with First Reserve and Corsair; the obligations and rights under these agreements are also described above.

Legal Proceedings

Refer also to Item 1, “Legal Proceedings” in Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for information regarding our litigation matters.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our critical accounting policies are discussed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. As a result of the SeaBright, Pavonia and Arden acquisitions, we have adopted certain new critical accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, which are described below.

Premium Revenue Recognition

Non-life Run-off

Our non-life run-off premiums written are earned on a pro-rata basis over the coverage period. Our reinsurance premiums are recorded at the inception of the policy, unless policy language stipulates otherwise, and are estimated based upon information in underlying contracts and information provided by clients and/or brokers. A change in reinsurance premium estimates is made when additional information regarding changes in underlying exposures is obtained. Such changes in estimates are expected and may result in significant adjustments in future periods. We record any adjustments as premiums written in the period they are determined.

With respect to retrospectively rated contracts (where additional premium would be due should losses exceed pre-determined, contractual thresholds), any additional premiums are based upon contractual terms and management judgment is involved in estimating the amount of losses that we expect to be ceded. Additional premiums would be recognized at the time loss thresholds specified in the contract are exceeded and are earned over the coverage period, or are earned immediately if the period of risk coverage has passed. Changes in estimates of losses recorded on contracts with additional premium features would result in changes in additional premiums recognized.

Life and Annuities

We generally recognize premiums from term life insurance, credit life and disability insurance and assumed life reinsurance as revenue when due from policyholders. Term life insurance, assumed life reinsurance and credit life and disability insurance policies include those contracts with fixed and guaranteed premiums and benefits. We match benefits and expenses with revenue to result in the recognition of profit over the life of the contracts.

Life and Annuity Benefits

We estimate our life and annuity benefit and claim reserves on a present value basis using standard actuarial techniques and cash flow models. We establish and maintain our life and annuity reserves at a level that we estimate will, when taken together with future premium payments and investment income expected to be earned on associated premiums, be sufficient to support all future cash flow benefit obligations and third party servicing obligations as they become payable.

Since the development of the life and annuity reserves is based upon cash flow projection models, we must make estimates and assumptions based on experience and industry mortality tables, longevity and morbidity

99

rates, lapse rates, expenses and investment experience, including a provision for adverse deviation. The assumptions used to determine policy benefit reserves were adjusted at the time we acquired the Pavonia companies. These assumptions are locked-in throughout the life of the contract unless there is material adverse change.

We review these assumptions no less than annually. The review process involves analyzing assumptions and determining whether actual and anticipated experience indicates that existing policy reserves, together with the present value of future gross premiums, are sufficient to cover the present value of future benefits, settlement and maintenance costs and to recover unamortized acquisition costs. If management’s review indicates that reserves should be greater than those currently held, then the locked-in assumptions would be revised and a charge for life and annuity benefits would be recognized at that time.

Because of the many assumptions and estimates used in establishing reserves and the long-term nature of the contracts, the reserving process, while based on actuarial techniques, is inherently uncertain.

Investments

Short-term Investments and Fixed Maturity Investments

Short-term investments comprise investments with a maturity greater than three months but less than one year from the date of purchase. Fixed maturity investments comprise investments with a maturity of one year and greater from the date of purchase. We classify our short-term investments and fixed maturity investments as trading, held-to-maturity, or available-for-sale depending on the nature of the investments and our intent and abilities with respect thereto.

Short-term investments and fixed maturities classified as trading are carried at fair value, with realized and unrealized holding gains and losses included in net earnings and reported as net realized and unrealized gains and losses. Investment purchases and sales are recorded on a trade-date basis, and realized gains and losses on the sale of investments are based upon specific identification of the cost of investments.

Short-term investments and fixed maturity investments classified as held-to-maturity securities, which are securities that we have the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity, are carried at amortized cost. We adjust the cost of short-term investments and fixed maturities for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts.

Fixed maturity investments classified as available-for-sale and held-to-maturity are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from net earnings and reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments classified as available-for-sale are recognized in the consolidated statements of earnings. Amortization of premium or accretion of discount is recognized using the effective yield method and included in net investment income. For mortgage-backed and asset-backed investments, and any other holdings for which there is a prepayment risk, we evaluate and revise prepayment assumptions retrospectively on a regular basis, which is a process that involves significant management judgment.

Fixed maturity investments are subject to fluctuations in fair value due to changes in interest rates, changes in issuer-specific circumstances such as credit rating and changes in industry-specific circumstances such as movements in credit spreads based on the market’s perception of industry risks. As a result of these potential fluctuations, it is possible to have significant unrealized gains or losses on a security. At maturity, absent any credit loss, fixed maturity investments’ amortized costs will equal their fair values and no realized gain or loss will be recognized in income. If, due to an unforeseen change in loss payment patterns, we need to sell any available-for-sale or trading investments before maturity, we could realize significant gains or losses in any period, which could result in a meaningful effect on reported net earnings for such period.

100

We perform regular reviews of our available-for-sale and held-to-maturity fixed maturities portfolios and utilize a process that considers numerous indicators in order to identify investments that are showing signs of potential other-than-temporary impairment losses. These indicators include the length of time and extent of the unrealized loss, any specific adverse conditions, historic and implied volatility of the security, failure of the issuer of the security to make scheduled interest payments, significant rating changes and recoveries or additional declines in fair value subsequent to the balance sheet date. The consideration of these indicators and the estimation of credit losses involve significant management judgment.

Any other-than-temporary impairment loss, or OTTI, related to a credit loss would be recognized in earnings, and the amount of the OTTI related to other factors (e.g. interest rates, market conditions, etc.) is recorded as a component of other comprehensive income. If no credit loss exists but either we have the intent to sell the fixed maturity investment or it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the fixed maturity investment before its anticipated recovery, then the entire unrealized loss is recognized in earnings.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest

In connection with the acquisition of Arden and with the proposed acquisitions of Torus and Atrium, certain subsidiaries have or will have issued shares to a noncontrolling interest. These shares are subject to agreements that provide the holder with certain redemption rights (as described above in “—Acquisitions”). The interests are presented on the balance sheet outside of equity under the caption “redeemable noncontrolling interests” and are carried at fair value. Noncontrolling interests that do not contain such redemption features are presented in equity. We recognize changes in the fair value that exceed the carrying value of redeemable noncontrolling interest through retained earnings as if the balance sheet date were also the redemption date.

Off-Balance Sheet and Special Purpose Entity Arrangements

At September 30, 2013, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined by Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This quarterly report contains statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, with respect to our financial condition, results of operations, business strategies, operating efficiencies, competitive positions, growth opportunities, plans and objectives of our management, as well as the markets for our ordinary shares and the insurance and reinsurance sectors in general. Statements that include words such as “estimate,” “project,” “plan,” “intend,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “seek,” “may” and similar statements of a future or forward-looking nature identify forward-looking statements for purposes of the federal securities laws or otherwise. All forward-looking statements are necessarily estimates or expectations, and not statements of historical fact, reflecting the best judgment of our management and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements. These forward looking statements should, therefore, be considered in light of various important factors, including those set forth in this quarterly report.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward looking statements include:

• risks associated with implementing our business strategies and initiatives;

• risks that we may require additional capital in the future, which may not be available or may be available only on unfavorable terms;

• the adequacy of our loss reserves and the need to adjust such reserves as claims develop over time;

• risks relating to the availability and collectability of our reinsurance;

101

• changes and uncertainty in economic conditions, including interest rates, inflation, currency exchange rates, equity markets and credit conditions, which could affect our investment portfolio, our ability to finance future acquisitions and our profitability;

• losses due to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations;

• increased competitive pressures, including the consolidation and increased globalization of reinsurance providers;

• emerging claim and coverage issues;

• lengthy and unpredictable litigation affecting assessment of losses and/or coverage issues;

• continued availability of exit and finality opportunities provided by solvent schemes of arrangement;

• loss of key personnel;

• the ability of our subsidiaries to distribute funds to us;

• changes in our plans, strategies, objectives, expectations or intentions, which may happen at any time at management’s discretion;

• operational risks, including system or human failures and external hazards;

• the risk that ongoing or future industry regulatory developments will disrupt our business, or mandate changes in industry practices in ways that increase our costs, decrease our revenues or require us to alter aspects of the way we do business;

• risks relating to our acquisitions, including our ability to successfully price acquisitions, evaluate opportunities, address operational challenges and support our planned growth;

• risks relating to our ability to obtain regulatory approvals, including the timing, terms and conditions of any such approvals, and to satisfy other closing conditions in connection with our acquisition agreements, which could affect our ability to complete acquisitions;

• risks relating to our life and annuities business, including mortality and morbidity rates, lapse rates, the performance of assets to support the insured liabilities, and the risk of catastrophic events;

• risks relating to the active, or “live,” underwriting businesses we have recently acquired or agreed to acquire, including unpredictability and severity of catastrophic events, failure of risk management and loss limitation methods, the risk of a ratings downgrade, cyclicality of demand and pricing in the insurance and reinsurance markets;

• our ability to implement our strategies relating to the active underwriting market;

• risks relating to our ability to structure our investments in a manner that recognizes our liquidity needs;

• tax, regulatory or legal restrictions or limitations applicable to us or the insurance and reinsurance business generally;

• changes in tax laws or regulations applicable to us or our subsidiaries, or the risk that we or one of our non-U.S. subsidiaries become subject to significant, or significantly increased, income taxes in the United States or elsewhere;

• changes in Bermuda law or regulation or the political stability of Bermuda; and

• changes in accounting policies or practices.

The factors listed above should be not construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements and Risk Factors that are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2013, as well as in the other materials filed and to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or review any forward looking statement, whether to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto, or as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as required by law.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE INFORMATION ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our balance sheets include a substantial amount of assets and, to a lesser extent, liabilities, whose fair values are subject to market risks, which represent the potential for an economic loss due to adverse changes in the fair value of a financial instrument. Our primary market risks are interest rate risk, credit risk, equity price risk, and foreign currency exchange rate risk. The following provides an analysis of the potential effects that these market risk exposures could have on our future earnings. This analysis is based on estimated changes. Actual results could differ significantly from amounts stated below, and our analysis should not be construed as our prediction for future market events.

Interest Rate Risk

We have updated the amounts of our interest rate movement analysis previously provided on page 100 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 to reflect the changes in the amount of short term and fixed maturity investments we hold as at September 30, 2013. Our short-term and fixed maturity investments classified as trading and available-for-sale are exposed to interest rate risk, as any changes in interest rates have a direct effect on the market values of these investments. As interest rates rise, the market values fall, and the converse is also true.

Our fixed maturity and short-term investments supporting our PPA business have been classified as held-to maturity and, as a result, are not exposed to interest rate risk. However, they are exposed to credit risk as a result of investment rating downgrades or issuer defaults.

We have estimated the effect that an immediate parallel shift in the U.S. interest rate yield curve would have on our short-term and fixed maturity investments classified as trading and available-for-sale at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. The results of this analysis are summarized in the table below.

Interest Rate Movement Analysis on Market Value

of Fixed Maturity and Short-Term Investments Classified as Trading and Available-for-Sale

	Interest Rate Shift in Basis Points

Change in Unrealized Value	$	16		$	13		$	0		$	(18	)	$	(37	)

Credit Risk

As a holder of fixed maturity investments and mutual funds, we also have exposure to credit risk as a result of investment ratings downgrades or issuer defaults. In an effort to mitigate this risk, our investment portfolio consists primarily of investment grade-rated, liquid, fixed maturity investments of short-to-medium duration and mutual funds. At September 30, 2013, approximately 47.8% of our fixed maturity investments and short-term investment portfolio was rated AA or higher by a major rating agency (December 31, 2012: 46.2%) with 13.5% (December 31, 2012: 11.4%) rated BBB or lower. The portfolio as a whole had an average credit quality rating of A+ (December 31, 2012: AA-). In addition, we manage our portfolio pursuant to guidelines that follow what we believe are prudent standards of diversification. The guidelines limit the allowable holdings of a single issue and issuers and, as a result, we do not believe we have significant concentrations of credit risk.

103

We also have exposure to credit risk as it relates to our reinsurance balances recoverable. Our acquired reinsurance subsidiaries, prior to acquisition, used retrocessional agreements to reduce their exposure to the risk of insurance and reinsurance assumed. Our reinsurance subsidiaries remain liable to the extent that retrocessionaires do not meet their obligations under these agreements and, therefore, we evaluate and monitor concentration of credit risk among our reinsurers.

As at September 30, 2013, reinsurance balances recoverable from a single non-rated reinsurer with a carrying value of $256.1 million represented 10% or more of our total non-life run-off reinsurance balances recoverable, as compared to $144.1 million from an A+ rated reinsurer as at December 31, 2012. Of the $256.1 million and $144.1 million recoverable from reinsurers at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, $256.1 million and $121.7 million, respectively, were secured by trust funds held for the benefit of our insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries.

Equity Price Risk

Our portfolio of equity investments, including the equity fund included in other investments (collectively, “equities at risk”), has exposure to equity price risk, which is the risk of potential loss in fair value resulting from adverse changes in stock prices. Our global equity portfolio is correlated with a blend of the S&P 500 and MSCI World indices and changes in this blend of indices would approximate the impact on our portfolio. The fair value of our equities at risk at September 30, 2013 was $215.5 million (December 31 2012: $170.5 million). At September 30, 2013 the impact of a 10% decline in the overall market prices of our equities at risk would be $22.0 million (December 31, 2012: $17.0 million), on a pre-tax basis.

There have been no other material changes in our market risk exposures since December 31, 2012. For more information refer to “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” included in Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management performed an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2013. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, we and our management recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information that we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

We previously reported a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting with respect to the identification of securities to be classified as either available-for-sale, held-to-maturity or trading at the date of a business combination involving a life insurance business. Our management, with the oversight of our audit committee, designed and implemented enhanced controls relating to evaluation and classification of securities acquired in business combinations, which were tested during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and were shown to have remediated the prior weakness.

104

Changes in Internal Controls

Our management has performed an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2013. As reported in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the second quarter of 2013, our management noted that (i) enhanced controls had been implemented relating to the evaluation and classification of securities acquired in a business combination and (ii) new controls had been adopted related to the operation of our new life insurance business, following our March 31, 2013 acquisition of the Pavonia companies. These control changes were made in the second quarter, and implementation and testing continued in the three months ended September 30, 2013. Based upon management’s evaluation, there were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

105

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In connection with our acquisition of SeaBright, two purported class action lawsuits were filed against SeaBright Holdings, Inc. (“SeaBright”), the members of its board of directors, our merger subsidiary (AML Acquisition, Corp.) and, in one of the cases, us. The first suit was filed September 13, 2012 in the Superior Court of the State of Washington and the second suit was filed September 20, 2012 in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. The lawsuits alleged, among other things, that SeaBright’s directors breached their fiduciary duties when negotiating, approving and seeking stockholder approval of the Merger, and that SeaBright and we or our merger subsidiary aided and abetted the alleged breaches of fiduciary duties. We believed these suits were without merit; nevertheless, in order to avoid the potential cost and distraction of continued litigation and to eliminate any risk of delay to the closing of the Merger, we, SeaBright and the SeaBright director defendants agreed to settle the two lawsuits, without admitting any liability or wrongdoing. The settlement required SeaBright to make supplemental information available to its stockholders through a filing of a Current Report on Form 8-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The settlement did not change the amount of the merger consideration that we paid to SeaBright’s stockholders in any way, nor did it alter any deal terms. On July 19, 2013, the Superior Court of the State of Washington entered an order approving the settlement, which became final and unappealable on August 19, 2013. On August 23, 2013, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware dismissed the Delaware action.

We are, from time to time, involved in various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including litigation regarding claims. We do not believe that the resolution of any currently pending legal proceedings, either individually or taken as a whole, will have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition. Nevertheless, we cannot assure you that lawsuits, arbitrations or other litigation will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. We anticipate that, similar to the rest of the insurance and reinsurance industry, we will continue to be subject to litigation and arbitration proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including litigation generally related to the scope of coverage with respect to asbestos and environmental claims. There can be no assurance that any such future litigation will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

Our results of operations and financial condition are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties described in “Risk Factors” included in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 and Item 1A of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2013. We believe that the risk factors identified therein have not materially changed.

Item 5. OTHER INFORMATION

On November 6, 2013, we appointed James D. Carey to our Board of Directors, effective immediately. Mr. Carey’s appointment was recommended to the Board of Directors by the Nominating and Governance Committee. He has also been appointed to the Company’s Investment Committee. Mr. Carey, age 47, previously served as a director of the Company from 2001 until January 31, 2007. Mr. Carey is a senior principal of Stone Point Capital LLC, a private equity firm based in Greenwich, Connecticut. Stone Point Capital serves as the manager of Trident V, L.P. and its affiliated funds (collectively, the “Trident Funds”). The Trident Funds collectively own approximately 9.7% of our voting ordinary shares.

Mr. Carey is the sole member of an entity that is one of four general partners of the entities serving as general partners for the Trident Funds, is a member of the investment committees of such general partners, and is a member of Stone Point Capital LLC. Prior to the acquisition of our ordinary shares by the Trident Funds, we

106

invested in two funds that are managed by companies in which the Trident Funds have indirect ownership interests, Sky Harbor Capital Management LLC and Prima Capital Advisors LLC. After these initial investments, we more recently made additional allocations to the Sky Harbor and Prima funds and also approved an investment to be made in a fund managed by Eagle Point Credit Management LLC, a company in which the Trident Funds have an indirect ownership interest. Mr. Carey serves as a manager of Eagle Point Credit Management LLC. As of September 30, 2013, the fair value of our investments in the funds affiliated with the Trident Funds was $86.4 million. We have previously invested in a fund managed by Sound Point Capital Management, L.P. (an entity in which Mr. Carey has an approximately 4% indirect ownership interest and serves as a director). The fair value of our investment in the Sound Point fund was $21.0 million as of September 30, 2013.

On July 3, 2013 and July 8, 2013, we entered into certain agreements with the Trident Funds with respect to their co-investments in the Atrium and Arden acquisitions and the Torus acquisition, respectively. Refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results and Financial Condition—Acquisitions” in Part I, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report for a description of these co-investment transactions. Mr. Carey currently serves as a representative of the Trident Funds on the boards of the two holding companies established in connection with the Atrium/Arden acquisitions and the Torus acquisition, which are each owned 60% by us and 40% by the Trident Funds. He is expected to serve as a member of the board of Torus following its acquisition.

Mr. Carey will be eligible to participate in our Deferred Compensation and Ordinary Share Plan for Non-Employee Directors, which is described in our Proxy Statement (filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 27, 2013), under the heading, “Director Compensation—Deferred Compensation Plan.”

Mr. Carey entered into an indemnification agreement with us, which includes the same terms as the indemnification agreements executed with each of our other current directors. These terms are described in our Proxy Statement under the heading, “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions—Indemnification of Directors and Officers; Directors Indemnity Agreements.”
