 member of a listed company’s audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees be independent, following a phase-in period. In addition, the listing standards of the NYSE require that audit committee members satisfy independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and that compensation committee members satisfy independence criteria set forth in the NYSE Listed Company Manual. Nevertheless, the listing standards further provide that a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if, in the opinion of that company’s board of directors, that person does not have a

relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

The Board has affirmatively determined that each of David Altmaier, Albert Beer, Theresa Froehlich, Richard Lightowler and Tammy L. Richardson-Augustus meet the definition of “independent director” under the applicable rules of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. In making this determination, the Board considered the relationships that each such non-employee director has with the Company and all other facts and circumstances that the Board deemed relevant in determining such director’s independence, including beneficial ownership of ordinary shares. Accordingly, our independent directors do not constitute a majority of the Board.

#### Family Relationships
There is no family relationship between any director or executive officer and any other director or executive officer.

#### Board Composition
Our business and affairs are managed under the direction of the Board.

Our bye-laws provide that the Board shall consist of not less than six and not more than 15 directors. Subject to our bye-laws, Bermuda law and to the director appointing rights contained in the Certificates of Designation relating to the Preference Shares, the directors shall be elected by holders of ordinary shares. Each director serving on the Board is elected annually at each annual general meeting of shareholders and serves for a term ending at the next annual general meeting of shareholders, subject to any rights to waive the annual general meeting pursuant to the Companies Act. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, each director shall hold office until such director’s successor shall have been duly elected or until such director is removed from office or such office is otherwise vacated. In no event will a decrease in the number of directors shorten the term of any incumbent director.
