SCHEDULE 13D
PAGE 5 OF 5


This Amendment No. 3 (the “Amendment”) amends the statement on Schedule 13D filed by Cavello Bay Reinsurance Limited, Kenmare Holdings Ltd. and Enstar Group Limited (the “Reporting Persons”) on September 21, 2020 and amended twice on October 1, 2020 (the “Schedule 13D”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D. Except as otherwise provided herein, each Item of the Schedule 13D remains unchanged.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is amended and restated as follows:

Cavello Bay initially acquired the Common Shares to which this Schedule 13D relates for investment purposes.

On September 30, 2020, Enstar delivered a letter to the Board of Directors of the Issuer indicating its desire to discuss the acquisition of all of the Issuer’s ordinary shares for $31.00 per share. The proposal is subject to customary due diligence and the negotiation of definitive agreements. The September 30, 2020 letter was previously filed as Exhibit 2 and is incorporated herein by reference.

On October 5, 2020, Enstar delivered a second letter to the Board of Directors of the Issuer reconfirming its interests in pursuing the transaction outlined in its September 30, 2020 letter. The October 5, 2020 letter is included as Exhibit 3 and is incorporate herein by reference.

There can be no assurance that the Issuer and Enstar will reach an agreement with respect to any transaction or that the nature or terms of any such transaction will not differ from the description in Enstar’s letters to the Board of Directors of the Issuer.

Depending on various factors, the Reporting Persons and each of their representatives may from time to time engage in discussions with the Issuer, other current or prospective shareholders of the Issuer, existing or potential strategic partners, investment professionals and other third parties regarding a variety of matters relating to the Issuer, which may include, among other things, Enstar’s proposal to the Board of Directors of the Issuer, the Issuer’s business, management, capital structure, corporate governance, Board composition and strategic alternatives and direction, as well as pursue other plans or proposals that relate to or could result in any of the actions that are described in subsections (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Depending upon overall market conditions, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, and the availability of Common Shares at prices that would make the purchase or sale of Common Shares desirable, the Reporting Persons reserve the right to and may acquire or dispose of Common Shares, including through public and private transactions. Cavello Bay intends to review its investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis.

Attention: Board of Directors

FOLLOW-UP INTEREST ON NON-BINDING INDICATIVE PROPOSAL

Following-up on our non-binding indicative proposal dated September 30, 2020, for an all-cash acquisition of 100% of the ordinary share capital of Watford Holdings Ltd. (“Watford”) at $31.00 per share, and our subsequent conversations with Morgan Stanley, we are pleased to reconfirm our continued interest in a potential transaction. We believe that the appropriate next step would be to enter into a non-disclosure agreement to allow us to complete our due diligence in an expeditious manner.

On completion of due diligence, it is likely that we may be able to increase our offer.

We look forward to working with Watford and engaging in next steps towards the agreement of a mutually beneficial transaction that provides a fair price to Watford’s shareholders. We look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,

/s/ Paul O’Shea
