See Notice About This Presentation Notice About This Presentation Additional Important Information About the Proposed Merger and Where to Find It: This communication relates to a proposed merger between HCC and a subsidiary of Tokio Marine Holdings, Inc. that is the subject of the preliminary proxy statement that HCC filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 13, 2015 (the “Preliminary Proxy Statement”) and the definitive proxy statement that HCC intends to file with the SEC. This communication does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities or a solicitation of any vote or approval, and is not a substitute for the Preliminary Proxy Statement or any other document that HCC may file with the SEC or send to its stockholders in connection with the proposed merger. Investors and stockholders are urged to read the Preliminary Proxy Statement and all other relevant documents filed with the SEC or sent to HCC’s stockholders as they become available, because they will contain important information about the proposed merger. All documents, when filed, will be available free of charge at the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov). You may also obtain documents filed by HCC with the SEC by contacting HCC at Investor Relations, HCC Insurance Holdings, Inc., 13403 Northwest Freeway, Houston, Texas 77040, by email at InvestorRelations@hcc.com or by visiting HCC’s website at www.hcc.com. Participants in the Solicitation: Tokio Marine Holdings, Inc. and HCC and its directors, executive officers and other members of management and employees may be deemed to be participants in any solicitation of proxies in connection with the proposed merger. Information about HCC’s directors and executive officers is available in HCC’s proxy statement dated April 9, 2015 for its 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Other information regarding the participants in the proxy solicitation and a description of their direct and indirect interests, by security holdings or otherwise, is contained in the Preliminary Proxy Statement and other relevant materials to be filed with the SEC regarding the merger when they become available. Investors and stockholders should read the Preliminary Proxy Statement carefully before making any investment or voting decisions. ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS: This presentation contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created by those laws. These forward-looking statements reflect our current expectations and projections about future events and include information about possible or assumed future results of our operations. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included or incorporated by reference in this presentation that address activities, events or developments that we expect or anticipate may occur in the future, including such things as growth of our business and operations, business strategy, competitive strengths, mergers and acquisitions, goals, plans, future capital expenditures and references to future successes may be considered forward-looking statements. Generally, words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “probably” or similar expressions indicate forward-looking statements. Many risks and uncertainties may have an impact on the matters addressed in these forward-looking statements, which could affect our future financial results and performance. These events or factors could cause our results or performance to differ materially from those we express in our forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the assumptions underlying our forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of these assumptions, and, therefore, the forward-looking statements based on these assumptions, could themselves prove to be inaccurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements that are included in this presentation, our inclusion of this information is not a representation by us or any other person that our objectives or plans will be achieved. Our forward-looking statements speak only at the date made, and we will not update these forward-looking statements unless the securities laws require us to do so. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, any forward-looking events discussed in this presentation may not occur. PRESENTATION FORMATTING: Certain figures included in this publication have been rounded for presentation and are provided for comparative purposes only. Our periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission contain more detailed information, including specific figures. 2

See Notice About This Presentation Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measure to GAAP NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURE: Annualized operating return on equity is a non-GAAP financial measure under Regulation G and is calculated as net earnings excluding after-tax net realized investment gain/loss, other-than-temporary impairment credit losses, and foreign currency benefit/expense (collectively, operating earnings) divided by average shareholders’ equity excluding accumulated other comprehensive income. Management believes annualized operating return on equity is a useful measure for understanding the Company’s profitability relative to shareholders’ equity before consideration of investment-related gains/losses and foreign currency benefit/expense, both of which management excludes when evaluating operating results internally. 30 Six months Twelve months ended ended June 30, June 30, 2015 2015 $193,334 $446,630 8,943 35,736 4,954 24,367 Total items excluded from operating earnings 13,897 60,103 $179,437 $386,527 $3,903,351 $3,914,055 175,014 220,422 $3,728,337 $3,693,633 $3,916,122 $3,916,122 110,712 110,712 $3,805,410 $3,805,410 $3,766,874 $3,749,522 9.5% 10.3% Annualized operating return on equity *Net of tax, calculated using 35% statutory tax rate.
