**Arch Capital Group Ltd. Thanks John Vollaro for 24 Years of Service**

*The Senior Advisor will not stand for reelection to the Company's Board of Directors*

**PEMBROKE, BERMUDA — Jan. 22, 2026 —** Arch Capital Group Ltd. (NASDAQ: ACGL) ("Arch" or the "Company") today announced John Vollaro, a long-serving and valued member of the Board of Directors, has informed the Board he will not stand for reelection at the Company's upcoming Annual Meeting of Shareholders. He will serve the remainder of his term, which ends on May 5, 2026.

"On behalf of the entire Board, we thank John for his many years of dedicated service and leadership," said John Pasquesi, Chair of the Board. "His guidance, commitment and unique perspective into Arch's culture have been integral to the Company's ability to consistently deliver shareholder value throughout the years. We wish him all the best."

Vollaro has served on Arch's Board since 2009. From 2002 to 2009 he was Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Executive Vice President of Arch — helping steer the Company from startup to a highly-regarded global specialty (re)insurer.

"I have always appreciated John's thoughtful guidance and seasoned insights," said Nicolas Papadopoulo, Arch Capital Group CEO. "Over the past two decades, his leadership, sound judgment and deep industry expertise have strengthened our strategy and performance. On behalf of all Arch employees, I want to thank him for his many contributions."

"After more than 20 years at Arch, the time has come for me to step away," said Vollaro. "Arch is an amazing success story, and it has been both an honor and a privilege to be part of it. I'm excited for what's ahead for Arch."
