#### Foreign Private Issuer Exemption
As a “foreign private issuer,” as defined by the SEC, we are permitted to follow, and do follow, home country corporate governance practices instead of certain corporate governance practices required for U.S. domestic issuers, provided that we disclose which requirements we are not following and the equivalent requirement in Bermuda (i.e., its home country).

issuer under the applicable corporate governance requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the rules adopted by the SEC, and the NYSE corporate governance rules and listing standards.

We rely on the foreign private issuer exemption to certain of the NYSE corporate governance standards with respect to matters related to our independent director oversight of executive compensation, proxy solicitation, quorum and shareholder approval. We may decide to rely upon the foreign private issuer exemption for purposes of opting out of some or all of the corporate governance rules applicable from time to time to U.S. domestic companies.

Foreign private issuers and controlled companies, however, are exempt from this requirement. Under Bermuda law and our bye-laws, we are not required to have an entirely independent compensation committee. The Board has established a Compensation Committee and adopted its charter; however, the Compensation Committee is not composed entirely of independent directors.
