Revolving Credit Facility

On November 2, 2020, the Company entered into a three-year, $300.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent. The Facility includes an option, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions including agreement of lenders representing greater than a majority of commitments, for the Company to request an extension by such lenders of the maturity date of the Facility by an additional 12 months. The Facility provides access to loans for working capital and general corporate purposes, and letters of credit to support obligations under insurance and reinsurance agreements, retrocessional agreements and for general corporate purposes. Loans and letters of credit under the Facility will become available, subject to customary conditions precedent, upon the consummation of the merger (the date such loans and letters of credit are first made available, the “Closing Date”). Prior to the Closing Date, the Facility is guaranteed solely by Third Point Re (USA) Holdings Inc. On and after the Closing Date, the Facility will be required to be guaranteed by Sirius International Group, Ltd., Sirius International Holdings Ltd., Sirius International Insurance Group, Ltd., and subject to customary exceptions certain other material subsidiaries of the Company.

All borrowings under the Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the option of the Company, (i) adjusted LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.25%, or (ii) an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.25% to 1.25%, in each case with the applicable margin determined based upon the Company’s credit rating. The Facility is subject to an unused line fee on or after the Closing Date on the average daily undrawn commitments under the Facility, payable quarterly in arrears, of 0.20% to 0.40% per annum based upon the Company’s credit rating.

The Facility is subject to customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default (including a change of control provision) that the Company considers customary for similar facilities. The Facility also includes financial covenants, including a minimum consolidated tangible net worth test, a maximum consolidated indebtedness to total consolidated capitalization ratio and a financial strength rating test.
