OTHER EVENTS. On October 31, 2002, Fund American Companies, Inc. ("Fund American"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of White Mountains Insurance Group, Ltd. (the "Registrant"), completed an amendment (the "Amendment") to its existing credit facility (the "Bank Facility"). The Amendment included the issuance of a new $143.8 million Tranche C term loan that was used to refinance a portion of the existing $228.8 million Tranche A term loan. The new Tranche C term loan is an amortizing loan with a final maturity in March 2007. The Amendment reduces the amount of quarterly amortization payments Fund American must make over the next four years. The refinancing increases the applicable eurodollar rate margin on the new Tranche C term loan by 87.5 basis points over the existing Tranche A term loan eurodollar rate margin, and increases the applicable eurodollar rate margin on the existing and unchanged Tranche B term loan by 12.5 basis points. The remaining $85.0 million outstanding under the Tranche A term loan will continue to bear interest at its current rate. In connection with the Amendment, certain financial and other covenants that currently govern the Bank Facility were relaxed or eliminated, thereby increasing the Company's operational and financial flexibility. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and the Amended and Restated Guarantee and Collateral Agreement are attached hereto as Exhibits 99(a) and 99(b), respectively, and are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety.
