As at July 9, 2020, being the latest practicable date prior to the date of this document, I 0,2 13,941 GI Cayman A ordinary shares and 4, 133,366 GJ Cayman B ordinary shares were issued and remain outstanding. All of the preferred shares remain unissued. 4. NEWCAYCO 4.1 New CayCo is a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability with registration number 363680, whose registered office is at Walkers Corporate Limited, Cayman Corporate Centre, 27 Hospital Road, George Town, Grand Cayman KY 1-9008, Cayman Islands. 4.2 The authorised share capital of New CayCo is US$ 100,000 divided into I,000,000,000 ordinary shares with a par value of US$ 0.000 I each, of which one ordinary share has been issued to GI Delaware and fully paid or credited as fully paid up with the remainder of the ordinary shares remaining unissued. New CayCo is a direct and a wholly owned subsidiary of Gl Delaware. 5. GI DELAWARE 5.1 Gl Delaware was formed in June, 2020 in the State of Delaware as a limited liability company, whose registered office is at 25 1 Little Falls Drive, Wilmington, Delaware 19808, United States. Prior to the Effective Time, GI Delaware will not engage in any business or other activities other than in connection with the Scheme and its organisational activities. 5.2 GI Delaware has undertaken to the Cayman Court to be bound by the Scheme, and will execute and do and procure to be executed and done all such documents, acts and things as may be necessary or desirable to be executed or done by it for the purpose of giving effect to this Scheme. 6. PURPOSE OF SCHEME 6.1 The purpose of the Scheme is to facilitate the change in jw·isdiction of the ultimate parent company of the Global Indemnity group of companies from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware, which is anticipated to result in long-term cost savings and other significant benefits for the Global Indemnity group of companies. This will be achieved through the amalgamation of the undertaking of GI Cayman with that of New CayCo (which is directly held and wholly owned by GI Delaware) with New CayCo surviving and the ultimate parent company of the Global Indemnity group of companies becoming GJ Delaware. Following completion of the Scheme, it is proposed that New CayCo will merge with and into GJ Delaware, with GI Delaware surviving. In consideration for the amalgamation, the Scheme Shareholders will be granted the Scheme Consideration. Upon implementation of the Scheme, Gl Cayman will dissolve without being wound up and will cease to exist as a separate legal entity. The Scheme will enable the Global Indemnity group of companies to obtain ce1iain cost savings and other significant benefits which will in turn benefit the Scheme Shareholders. 6.2 The issuance of GI Delaware common shares to the Scheme Shareholders pursuant to the Scheme will not be registered under the US Securities Act in reliance upon Section 3(a)(10) of the US Securities Act. Section 3(a)( l0) of the US Securities Act exempts secw-ities issued in exchange for one or more outstanding securities from the general requirement of registration where the terms and conditions of the issuance and exchange of such securities have been approved by any court of competent jurisdiction, after a hearing upon the fairness of the terms and conditions of the issuance and exchange at which all persons to whom such securities will be issued have a right to appear and to whom adequate notice of the hearing has been given. The pa1ties intend to rely on the Section 3(a)( I 0) exemption under the US Securities Act in entering into this

Scheme and consummating the transactions contemplated hereby and the parties shall so advise the Cayman Court.
