(1) Directors, NEOs and designated senior executives have five years to comply with the minimum required amount. Shares of AXIS common stock owned by directors or covered executives along with the portion of unvested RSUs that settle in common shares are allocated toward meeting these guidelines. The portion of unvested RSUs that settle in cash and unvested PSUs are not allocated toward meeting these guidelines.

(2) Total Earned Compensation as reflected in the Director Compensation table set forth later in this proxy statement.

All of our directors, NEOs and other senior executives are required to maintain compliance with their required minimum stock ownership amounts. The Human Capital and Compensation Committee reviews and confirms compliance annually.

#### U.S. Tax Considerations
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally disallows a tax deduction to public companies for compensation in excess of $1 million paid to certain executive officers. For AXIS, Section 162(m) has had limited effect because our Company is headquartered in Bermuda and U.S. tax law affects only a portion of our compensation. Therefore, although we are aware of and have considered the impact of this rule when developing and implementing our executive compensation program, deductibility of compensation under Section 162(m) has not been a driving factor in its operation. We do not expect the changes to Section 162(m) to change our executive compensation practices prospectively.
