 foreign and U.S. federal and state laws and regulations that are applicable to our operations, including those at Lloyd’s, are complex and may increase the costs of regulatory compliance or subject our business to the possibility of regulatory actions or proceedings. In addition to insurance and financial industry regulations, our activities are also subject to relevant economic and trade sanctions administered by the U.S. Department of the

Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, the U.S. Department of State, the U.S. Department of Commerce, the United Nations Security Council, and other relevant sanctions authorities, as well as money laundering regulations and anti-corruption laws including, but not limited to, the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the U.K. Bribery Act 2010, which may increase the costs of regulatory compliance, limit or restrict our ability to do business or engage in certain regulated activities, or subject us to the possibility of regulatory actions, proceedings and fines.

Our global operations expose us to the risk of violating, or being accused of violating, economic and trade sanctions laws and regulations. As part of our business, we may, from time to time, engage in limited sales and transactions involving certain countries, entities and individuals that are targets of economic sanctions, provided that such sales and transactions are authorized pursuant to applicable economic sanctions laws and regulations. However, we cannot predict the nature, scope or effect of future regulatory requirements, including changes that may affect existing regulatory authorizations, and we cannot predict the manner in which existing laws and regulations might be administered or interpreted. Further, while we maintain policies and procedures designed to maintain compliance with applicable economic and trade sanctions, there can be no guarantee that our policies and procedures will be effective in preventing violations, which could adversely affect our reputation, business, financial condition or results of operations. If in the future we are found to be in violation of U.S. or other applicable economic sanctions or export control laws, it could result in substantial fines and penalties for us, including criminal fines, imprisonment, civil fines, disgorgement of profits, injunctions and other remedial measures. Investigations of alleged violations can be expensive and disruptive.
