 contemplated by the first merger resolution are not conditioned on the approval and implementation of the voting cutback proposal or the first merger approval bye-law proposal.

#### Vote Required
Approving the first merger resolution requires (i) if the first merger approval bye-law proposal is approved, the affirmative vote (in person or by proxy) of a majority of the votes cast “For” or “Against” the proposal and (ii) if the first merger approval bye-law proposal is not approved, the affirmative vote (in person or by proxy) of a majority of three-fourths of the votes cast “For” or “Against” the proposal. Accordingly, a Maiden shareholder’s failure to submit a proxy card or to vote in person at the Maiden special meeting, an abstention from voting, or the failure of a Maiden shareholder who holds his or her shares in “street name” through a broker or other nominee to give voting instructions to such broker or other nominee will have no effect on the outcome of the vote to approve the first merger resolution.

Maiden currently does not intend to propose adjournment of the Maiden special general meeting if there are sufficient votes to obtain approval of the first merger resolution.
