We sometimes receive inquiries and informational requests from insurance regulators or other government officials in the jurisdictions in which our insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries operate. Our internal and external legal counsels coordinate with operating companies in responding to information requests and government proceedings. From time to time, consumer advocacy groups or the media also focus attention on certain insurance industry practices. We cannot predict at this time the effect that investigations, litigation and regulatory activity or negative publicity from consumers or the media will have on the insurance or reinsurance industry or our business, or whether activities or practices currently thought to be lawful will be characterized in the future as unlawful or will become subject to negative scrutiny from consumer advocacy groups or the media.

The decentralized nature of our operations generally permits quick adaptation to, or mitigation of, evolving regional risks. Furthermore, our international operations are widespread and therefore not dependent on the economic stability of any one particular region. International operations and assets held abroad may, however, be adversely affected by political and other developments in foreign countries, including possibilities of tax changes, trade protectionism measures, nationalization and changes in regulatory policy, as well as by consequences of terrorism, war, hostilities and unrest. The risks of such occurrences and their overall effect upon us vary from country to country and cannot easily be predicted.

Our operations and financial performance may be impacted by changes in tariffs, trade restrictions or other regulatory measures imposed by domestic or foreign governments. The imposition of tariffs by the United States (the “
