-laws, shareholders whose shares constitute 9.5% or more of the voting power of our common shares are entitled to less than one vote for each common share held by them, but only in the event that a U.S. shareholder, as defined in our bye-laws, owning 9.5% or more of our common shares is first determined to exist. We will notify any shareholder whose voting power is reduced prior to the meeting.

There are three ways to vote in advance of the meeting: (i) via the Internet, (ii) by telephone, or (iii) by mailing your completed voting information form or proxy card. In addition, you may vote in person at the meeting in Bermuda.

#### Vote Standards
• Quorum: Two or more persons present in person and representing in person or by proxy shares representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate voting power of the Company constitutes a quorum. Abstentions and "broker non-votes” will be counted for purposes of determining a quorum. A “broker non-vote” occurs when shares held by a broker are not voted with respect to a proposal because (1) the broker has not received voting instructions from the shareholder who beneficially owns the shares and (2) the broker lacks the authority to vote the shares at its discretion.

In determining whether: (i) a director nominee has been elected by the shareholders; and (ii) the compensation paid to our NEOs has been approved, abstentions and “broker non-votes” will have no effect on the outcome of any of these proposals because such shares are not considered votes cast. However, Proposal 3: Appointment of Independent Auditors is considered a "discretionary" item. This means that brokers may vote in their discretion on this matter on behalf of their clients who have not furnished voting instructions. Therefore, there will be no “broker non-votes” on the appointment of Deloitte and in determining whether the proposal has received the
