&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to access capital and liquidity, including through letters of credit and other financing arrangements, and our status as a holding company dependent on dividends and other distributions from our operating subsidiaries;

All forward-looking statements included herein are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section as well as any other cautionary statements contained herein. Any forward-looking statements, expectations, beliefs and projections made by us in this report speak only as of the date referenced on such date on which they are made and are expressed in good faith and our management believes that there is reasonable basis for them, based only on information currently available to us. There can be no assurance that management's expectations, beliefs, and projections will be achieved and actual results may vary materially from what is expressed or indicated by the forward-looking statements. Furthermore, our past performance, and that of our management team and of TFP, should not be construed as a guarantee of future performance. Except to the extent required by applicable laws and regulations, we undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement included in this report (including any document incorporated by reference into this report), whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

*You should carefully consider the following risk factors and all other information set forth in this report, including our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto. Any of the risks described below could materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, operating results or financial condition. The risk factors described below could also cause our actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking and other statements contained in this report and other documents that we file with the SEC or contained in other statements of the Group made publicly. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. However, these are the risks we believe to be material as of the date of this report. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our future business, financial condition or operating results.*

For more information on our risk management strategy, refer to Item 4.B. Business Overview "Underwriting Risk Management."

**Risks Relating to the Group's Business and Industry**

***Underwriting of (re)insurance can be volatile and unpredictable, and the Group's focus on low-frequency, high-severity events may result in substantial losses.***

The underwriting of (re)insurance risks is, inherently uncertain and can produce volatile earnings. The Group's underwriting is generally focused on low-frequency, high-severity losses worldwide, though the frequency and unpredictability of such losses has increased in recent years due to, among other factors, changing climate conditions as well as macroeconomic conditions including any escalation of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine (the "Ukraine Conflict"), the recent military actions in Iran by the U.S. and Israel and other conflicts in the Middle East, or the risk of increased tensions between China and Taiwan, any related sanctions and other geopolitical events globally. As a result, the Group may experience unpredictable losses, including multiple large events occurring in close succession or simultaneously, which could materially affect its net profit or capital position.

Short-term underwriting trends or returns are difficult to forecast across the global (re)insurance industry, including in the Bermuda, London and Europe insurance and reinsurance markets in which the Group operates. Even when broader industry results are profitable in such markets, insurers (such as the Group or any of its peers) or business lines of such insurers may incur losses. Historical market results, as well as the results of the Group's own performance, may not be indicative of future prospects.

Underwriting risks and reserving for losses are based on probabilities, assumptions and related modeling, involve significant uncertainties and may materially impact the Group's business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.

Underwriting requires significant judgment, including the use of assumptions regarding inherently unpredictable events. Catastrophic or other large-scale losses may exceed the Group's modeled expectations, which could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations. A single event may generate claims (and therefore result in significant losses) across multiple classes of the Group's business.

The Group relies on non-probabilistic modeling and aggregate exposure analyses to estimate potential losses from certain risks. Uncertainties in these models, limitations in available data, or incorrect application or interpretation may leave the Group exposed to unanticipated risks relating to certain perils or geographic regions, which could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations. See Item 3.D. Risk Factors "The Group's catastrophe and other analytical models may be inaccurate or incomplete and actual losses could differ materially from model outputs, adversely affecting its operating results, financial condition, profitability or cash flows."

------

***The Group's exposure to natural and non-natural catastrophic events and circumstances could cause significant variance in, or adversely impact, our financial results.***

Our (re)insurance underwriting means we have substantial exposure to natural catastrophic events and circumstances such as hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, typhoons, tornadoes, droughts, floods, sea surges, fires and wildfires, convective storms and other severe weather patterns, as well as to human-instigated catastrophic events of terrorism, cyber-attack, war or nuclear-related events and to systemic events such as a global economic crisis. As a result, our operating results have historically been, and we expect will continue to be, significantly affected by the frequency and severity of loss events. The occurrence, or non-occurrence, of catastrophic events, the frequency and severity of which are inherently unpredictable, may cause significant volatility in the Group's quarterly and annual financial results and may materially adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

In addition, we believe that certain factors may continue to increase the number and severity of claims from catastrophic events in the future, including increases in the value and geographic concentration of insured property, increasing risks associated with extreme weather events, changes in climate conditions and sea level rise, and the effects of higher-than-expected inflation of prices and values influencing claims settlement.

***The Group's catastrophe and other analytical models may be inaccurate or incomplete and actual losses could differ materially from model outputs, adversely affecting its operating results, financial condition, profitability or cash flows.***

Catastrophe modeling relies on assumptions, historical data and inputs that may be uncertain, incomplete or inaccurate, and model outputs may differ materially from actual results. There is no universal standard for insured data used in (re)insurance models, and model accuracy depends on the availability and quality of loss data. Modeling capabilities also remain less developed for certain perils, including wildfires and flooding.

Uncertainties in estimating the frequency and severity of catastrophic events, potential inaccuracies and inadequacies in the data provided by clients and brokers and the inherent limitations and inaccuracies of modeling techniques may cause the Group to suffer losses in excess of expectations for a given peril or geographic zone.

Climate change may increase the frequency, severity or geographic spread of certain natural disasters, such as hurricanes, wildfires and floods, and such developments may not be fully reflected in current models, increasing the potential for unexpected losses. Rising sea levels and changes in weather patterns may also result in greater coastal or inland flooding risk. In particular, recent years have shown increased wildfire and flood activity, which may not be fully captured in the existing modeling frameworks.

Failures or inaccuracies in catastrophe models may also affect the Group's exposures beyond property (re)insurance. For example, increases in the frequency or severity of catastrophic events, particularly wildfires and floods, could lead to higher property damage to residential real estate securing mortgages owned by government-sponsored enterprises. If such developments are not fully captured in current modelling frameworks, related losses in certain government-sponsored enterprise credit-risk transfer transactions could exceed expectations. In addition, inadequate modelling of the impact of catastrophes on homeowners' insurance costs or borrower repayment behavior could result in higher-than-anticipated claim frequencies. As a result, shortcomings in catastrophe modelling, including with respect to climate-related developments, could cause the Group's financial condition or results of operations to differ materially and adversely from its expectations, targets or projections.

***The Group's losses may exceed its loss reserves or available liquidity at any time, which could significantly and negatively affect the Group's business.***

The Group's results of operations and financial condition depend upon its ability to assess accurately the potential losses associated with the risks that it insures and reinsures and the sufficiency of its reserves. Loss reserves are estimates at a given time of what the Group ultimately expects to pay on claims, based on facts and circumstances then known, as well as assumptions regarding the future development of such claims, expected trends in claim frequency and severity and other factors such as inflation.

The inherent uncertainties of estimating loss reserves are generally greater for the reinsurance business, including due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the significant period between the occurrence of an event and the reporting or settlement of claims;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the diversity of development patterns across different treaty types and facultative contracts; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Group's reliance on ceding insurers for claim-related information, which may be delayed, incomplete or inaccurate.

The Group uses actuarial analyses, industry data, modeling techniques and management judgment to estimate reserves, including for incurred but not reported ("IBNR") losses. These estimates may become inadequate over time as facts and circumstances develop.

If the Group determines that its reserves are inadequate, it will be required to increase its loss reserves with a corresponding reduction in net income in the period in which the deficiency is identified. There can be no assurance that the Group's claims will not exceed its loss reserves or loss expense reserves, which may significantly and negatively affect the Group's business, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

***The Group's operating results may be adversely affected by an unexpected accumulation of attritional losses.***

In addition to the Group's exposures to catastrophes and other large losses as discussed above, the Group's operating results may be adversely affected by unexpectedly large accumulations of attritional losses (i.e., relatively smaller losses arising frequently in the ordinary course of (re)insurance business operations, excluding major losses). The Group seeks to manage this risk by adopting appropriate underwriting parameters and risk tolerances, including in relation to any underwriting carried out by our strategic underwriting partners. For example, the Group has established specific underwriting parameters and risk tolerances to guide the pricing, terms and acceptance of risks by TFP on behalf of the Group. These parameters, which may include pricing models, are intended to ensure that premiums received are sufficient to cover the expected levels of attritional losses and a contribution to the cost of catastrophes and large losses where necessary. However, it is possible that the Group's underwriting approaches or the pricing models on which the Group relies may not work as intended or may not capture all sources of potential loss and that actual losses from a class of risks may be greater than expected. These pricing models are also subject to the same limitations as the models used to assess the Group's exposure to catastrophe losses discussed above. See Item 3.D. Risk Factors "The Group's catastrophe and other analytical models may be inaccurate or incomplete and actual losses could differ materially from model outputs, adversely affecting its operating results, financial condition, profitability or cash flows." Accordingly, these factors impacting attritional losses could adversely impact the Group's business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.

***The failure of any risk management and loss limitation methods the Group employs could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.***

The Group employs various risk management and loss limitation methods, including disciplined underwriting processes, purchasing reinsurance, sponsoring catastrophe bond transactions providing retrocessional coverage and writing a number of contracts on an excess of loss basis. The Group also seeks to limit certain risks, such as catastrophes and political risks, through geographic diversification, although geographic zone limitations involve significant underwriting judgment. For proportional property reinsurance treaties, the Group may seek per-occurrence limitations or caps; however, such limits may not always be available in certain markets. Policy provisions intended to limit the Group's risks, including exclusions, sublimits or choice of forum clauses, may not always be enforceable. In addition, the Group relies on its underwriting agents to write business in accordance with agreed underwriting parameters and risk tolerances, and these controls and monitoring processes may prove ineffective or may be exceeded.

Risk mitigation measures, including pricing models, underwriting parameters and reinsurance protections, may not operate as intended and may fail to capture all sources of potential loss, particularly where losses develop or aggregate in unanticipated ways or where counterparties dispute coverage terms or experience credit difficulties. The Group also remains exposed to risks arising from changes in legal, social or economic conditions that may increase the severity or frequency of losses beyond levels contemplated in its risk management framework. Any failure, limitation or unenforceability of the Group's risk management or loss limitation methods the Group employs could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.

***The Group's retrocessional coverage may be exhausted if a large number of claims occur, and additional retrocessional protection may not be available on acceptable terms or may not respond as expected.***

The Group maintains various retrocessional reinsurance contracts protecting its business segments, including excess of loss and aggregate protections, some of which include reinstatement provisions. The Group also seeks outward retrocessional protection by accessing the capital markets through catastrophe bond structures, which provide multi-year collateralized retrocessional coverage.

If several large losses occur or if losses develop adversely, the Group may exhaust portions of its retrocession program. The Group cannot be sure that additional retrocessional coverage will continue to be available to it on acceptable terms from appropriately rated or fully collateralized counterparties, or at all. Market conditions, including those following major catastrophe events, may reduce available capacity or significantly increase pricing, potentially requiring the Group to retain more risk than intended or to utilize alternative risk-transfer structures that may not provide equivalent protection.

In addition, complex coverage terms or disputes regarding the interpretation of policy provisions may impede the Group's ability to collect recoveries it believes are due. The Group is also exposed to the creditworthiness and claims-paying ability of its retrocessionaires, and adverse developments affecting a retrocessionaire's financial strength, including insolvency or delay in payment, could materially impact the Group. Concentration of retrocessional coverage with a limited number of counterparties or increasing consolidation within the reinsurance sector may exacerbate these credit and availability risks.

Any exhaustion of the Group's retrocession program, inability to obtain replacement coverage, or failure of retrocessional protections to respond as intended could materially increase the Group's retained losses, reduce risk diversification, restrict underwriting capacity, and adversely affect the Group's business, financial condition or results of operations.

------

***Dependence on renewals and outwards reinsurance, together with exposure to the (re)insurance market cycle, may cause volatility in the Group's premiums, operating results and financial condition.***

The Group's business is significantly affected by conditions in the (re)insurance markets, including the availability and terms of both inwards business and outwards reinsurance and retrocessional protection. Many of the Group's insurance policies and reinsurance contracts are written for a one-year term, and the Group makes assumptions about renewal rates, pricing, and contract terms as part of its financial planning. If actual renewals do not meet expectations, if key contracts are not renewed, or if they are renewed on less favorable terms or lower rates, the Group's gross premiums written ("GPW"), operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. In addition, the Group may not be able to obtain new business at acceptable or profitable rates, and any failure to renew or write material and profitable contracts could adversely impact the Group's business and prospects.

The Group's operating performance is also influenced by the broader (re)insurance market cycle, which is characterized by periods of heightened competition in pricing and policy terms (a "soft" market) and periods of higher premium rates and tighter terms (a "hard" market). In soft market conditions, the Group may face excess underwriting capacity, pressure on pricing and broader terms and conditions, any of which could negatively affect the Group's margins, business, financial condition or results of operations. Although the Group currently believes that many of its markets are in a relatively hard market, there is no guarantee that higher premium rates or improved terms will continue, and changes in economic, legal, geopolitical, technological and social factors, as well as increased capital and competition, could cause the cycle to shift or behave differently from historical patterns.

Outwards reinsurance and retrocession are also a key component of the Group's strategy to manage underwriting volatility and protect against the severity of losses. Although the Group may delegate the design and placement of certain outwards reinsurance to certain of its strategic underwriting partners, the Group largely retains final decision-making authority in respect of such outwards reinsurance placements. The amount of protection purchased, whether from traditional reinsurance markets or alternative capital markets such as catastrophe bonds, is determined by the Group's risk strategy as well as the price, quality and availability of such coverage. Coverage purchased in one year may differ substantially from another year. There can be no assurance that the Group will be able to obtain or renew the levels of outwards protection it requires, including renewals of catastrophe bond transactions, on acceptable terms or at all. Inadequate, unavailable or unaffordable reinsurance or retrocession could result in the Group retaining greater exposure to catastrophic or large losses, potentially increasing losses and earnings volatility.

If the Group or its intermediaries cannot arrange the level of outwards protection contemplated in its business plan, the Group may need to reduce the amount of business it writes to stay within risk tolerances. Reduced availability of outwards protection could also increase the Group's capital requirements, including by requiring it to hold additional capital under the regulatory regimes applicable to its operating subsidiaries.

In particular, under Directive 2009/138/EC ("Solvency II"), which is also transposed into the U.K.'s domestic prudential regime, the relevant operating subsidiaries of the Group are required to have a reasonable expectation that outwards reinsurance will be placeable in future periods. See Item 4.B. Business Overview "Regulatory Matters—United Kingdom Insurance Regulation—U.K. Prudential Regime for Insurers" for more information on these legislative and regulatory changes.

The Group is also exposed to the credit risk of its reinsurers and retrocessionaires. Collectability depends on their solvency and willingness to pay claims under applicable agreements, and may be affected by non-coterminous or ambiguous wording. A reinsurer's insolvency or failure to pay valid claims could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, financial condition or results. For catastrophe bonds and industry loss warranties, recoveries depend on whether the specified industry loss triggers are met; the Group's own loss experience may not correlate with industry-wide losses, and there can be no assurance that such structures will provide adequate protection.

***The business written by the Group, particularly in its Insurance segment, is vulnerable to global economic and geopolitical uncertainty.***

A portion of the Group's business written within the Insurance segment focuses on products covering credit and political risk, political violence and terrorism, cyber, title, transactional liabilities, mortgage insurance, structured credit transactions and other specialty coverages, which may be more sensitive to macroeconomic conditions than other (re)insurance businesses. Severe economic downturns, market volatility or disruptions in the financial or mortgage markets may reduce underwriting deal flow, impair counterparties and their ability to meet their obligations to the Group, and increase the likelihood of losses in these lines of business. As seen during the COVID-19 pandemic, changes in global economic conditions may suppress demand for insurance, reduce premium volume or limit underwriting opportunities.

Another portion of the Group's Insurance segment focuses on traditional specialty business lines such as aviation and aerospace, energy, space, marine, contingency and property direct & facultative (or "property D&F"). The industries underlying these lines can be materially affected by economic and geopolitical disruptions, restrictions on operations, supply chain interruptions and reduced commercial activity. The Ukraine Conflict, the recent military actions in Iran by the U.S. and Israel and other conflicts in the Middle East, the risk of increased tensions between China and Taiwan, and other geopolitical tensions have created volatility and uncertainty across global markets and may affect multiple lines of the Group's business, including aviation, political risk, marine, credit and

------

specialty lines. Sanctions, export controls, price cap regimes and other restrictive measures imposed by the United States, the United Kingdom (or the "U.K."), the European Union and other jurisdictions may increase claims activity, contribute to coverage disputes, increase loss frequency and severity across several of the Group's lines of business, affect the Group's insureds and counterparties, or reduce demand for insurance. These developments may also negatively impact global economic conditions and capital markets and heighten litigation risk.

Prolonged periods of global economic uncertainty could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.

***Acquisitions, strategic investments or new platforms may expose the Group to risks and may not be successful.***

The Group and TFP have entered into a number of agreements governing the outsourced relationship, including the Framework Agreement, a series of Delegated Underwriting Authority Agreements and the Inter-Group Services Agreement (collectively referred to in this Item 3.D. Risk Factors as the "TFP Framework"). See Item 7.B. Related Party Transactions for a description of the above referenced agreements and for further information relating to the contractual matrix forming this structure.

From time to time, and subject to the TFP Framework, the Group may pursue growth through acquisitions, strategic investments in businesses or new underwriting, insurance-linked securities ("ILS") or marketing platforms. The negotiation and execution of such transactions, as well as the integration of acquired businesses (including supporting business at Lloyd's of London ("Lloyd's") and new managing agent relationships or raising alternative capital from reinsurance sidecar finance structures), personnel or platforms, may result in a substantial diversion of management resources and give rise to additional risks.

Successful integration depends, among other things, on the Group's ability to integrate acquired businesses into its existing risk management, operational, financial reporting and control frameworks, manage regulatory requirements in new markets, retain and attract key personnel and achieve targeted operational efficiencies. There can be no assurance that the Group will realize anticipated synergies, cost savings or strategic benefits, or that acquired businesses will prove profitable or sustainable.

Acquisitions and strategic investments may also involve risks such as potential losses from unanticipated litigation, a higher-than-expected adverse development of acquired liabilities, valuation risks (including acquired assets being worth less, or assumed liabilities being greater, than expected), and an inability to generate sufficient revenue to offset acquisition or platform development costs. Entering into new platforms, joint ventures or strategic partnerships, or modifying the Group's business strategy, may require significant investment in operations, systems, governance and infrastructure and may not produce the expected strategic or financial results.

Any failure by the Group to implement or integrate acquisitions, new platforms or strategic investments effectively, or to manage the risks associated with such initiatives, could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.

***Competition and consolidation in the (re)insurance industry could adversely impact us.***

In its underwriting activities, the Group may find itself in competition with other insurers and reinsurers that may have an established position in the market or greater financial, marketing and management resources available to them. In addition, pension funds, endowments, investment banks, investment managers, hedge funds and other capital markets participants have been active in the reinsurance market, either through the formation of reinsurance companies or the use of other financial products intended to compete with traditional reinsurance. We may also face competition from non-traditional competitors, as well as "insurtech" start-up companies and others who aim to leverage access to "big data," artificial intelligence or other emerging technologies to gain a competitive advantage. Competition may also be affected by underwriting consortia or syndicates, or by cedants choosing to retain more business in certain market conditions. We expect competition to continue to increase over time. It is possible that new or alternative capital could cause reductions in prices of our products or reduce the duration or amplitude of attractive portions of the historical market cycles. New entrants or existing competitors, which may include government-sponsored funds or other vehicles, may attempt to replicate all or part of our business model and provide further competition in the markets in which we participate.

Along with increased competition, there has also been significant consolidation in the (re)insurance industry over the last several years, including among our competitors, customers and brokers. These consolidated enterprises may try to use their enhanced market power or better capitalization to negotiate price reductions for our products and services or obtain a larger market share through increased line sizes. Consolidation may also affect available terms and conditions in the market, as well as pricing. If competitive pressures decrease the prices for our products, we would generally expect to reduce our future underwriting activities, resulting in lower premium volume and profitability. Reinsurance intermediaries may also continue to consolidate, potentially adversely impacting our ability to access business and distribute our products. As the insurance industry consolidates, we expect competition for customers to become more intense, and sourcing and properly servicing each customer to become even more important. We could incur greater expenses relating to customer acquisition and retention, further reducing our operating margins. In addition, insurance companies that merge may be able to spread their risks across a consolidated, larger capital base so that they require less reinsurance. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.

------

***The Group may not be able to write as much premium as expected in its desired level of projected profitability.***

The Group may not write as much premium as expected, or at the projected level of profitability. Factors that may inhibit or preclude the Group from obtaining participations on desirable business include, among others:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• failure to maintain successful relationships with clients, brokers and other intermediaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• insurance and reinsurance pricing not responding positively to major loss events;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• continued willingness of other market participants to underwrite business at marginally profitable rates, terms or conditions more attractive to customers than those the Group is prepared to offer;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• difficulty penetrating existing program structures due to established cedant, insurer or intermediary relationships;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• intermediaries entering into bilateral or facility arrangements with single carriers or markets; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• prospective cedants or clients (or their intermediaries) preferring competitors with higher financial strength ratings or perceiving uncertainty regarding the Group's ability to maintain its ratings.

If the Group is unable to write the level of business anticipated, or at acceptable profitability levels, it may be required to write lower volumes or business with lower projected returns, which could have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.

***A downgrade, withdrawal of, or other negative action relating to the Group's financial strength ratings by insurance rating agencies could materially adversely affect the Group's business and results.***

Financial strength ratings assigned by independent credit rating agencies are an important factor in clients' and brokers' evaluation of insurers and reinsurers. Rating agencies periodically assess the Group and may downgrade, withdraw or place its ratings under review if we do not continue to meet their criteria. Rating agencies may also change their capital models and/or rating methodologies, which could increase the amount of capital required to support our current ratings.

Any ratings downgrade or other negative action, including an announcement that a rating agency is placing us on credit watch or under review, could adversely affect the Group's ability to compete for business, the marketability of its product offerings, access to capital and the cost of borrowing, and could impair its ability to write new business. Certain (re)insurance contracts provide counterparties with termination rights or collateral/posting requirements in the event of a ratings downgrade, and some contracts require the return of premium. Whether such rights are exercised may depend on the reason for and extent of the downgrade and prevailing market conditions.

A downgrade beyond an agreed threshold may also trigger a termination right under the Framework Agreement, exercisable by TFP, subject to a cure period. Any of these outcomes could materially adversely affect the volume and quality of business presented to the Group, its financial condition or its results of operations.

See Item 4.B. Business Overview "Financial Strength Ratings" for a further discussion regarding the Group's ratings.

***The failure to appreciate and respond effectively to the trends and risks associated with environmental, social and governance ("ESG") initiatives and factors could adversely affect the Group's relationship with stakeholders and its achievement of its business plans.***

The purpose of a business and the manner in which it operates, including in relation to ESG matters, are increasingly material considerations for the Group's key stakeholders, particularly with respect to the implementation of their own ESG initiatives. The Group has seen increased focus and scrutiny on ESG-related matters from institutional investors, policyholders, employees, suppliers, policymakers, regulators, rating agencies, industry organizations and local communities. These developments may require changes in the Group's approach to ESG and may affect the general (re)insurance industry.

A failure to transparently and consistently implement an ESG strategy across the Group's operational, underwriting and investment activities may adversely impact the Group's business plan, financial results and reputation, and may negatively affect relationships with stakeholders whose expectations, concerns and aims regarding ESG may differ from the Group's own approach.

***Changes in law relating to certain perils could adversely affect the Group's business.***

Changes in laws or regulations relating to certain perils for which the Group writes insurance or reinsurance may materially affect the Group's ability to respond to such events, including the manner and timeframe for processing claims, the development of claim severity or the interpretation of underlying policies. For example, in response to recent wildfire events in California, the state enacted insurance consumer protection laws for California policyholders, with effect from January 2019, requiring insurers to provide additional policy protections to California insureds for future wildfire events. Similar changes in law or regulatory practice relating to other perils could increase the Group's exposure or alter its policy obligations. Any such developments may have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.

------

***Cyber threats are an evolving risk area affecting both the specific cyber insurance market and other liability coverages the Group provides.***

The Group has introduced processes to manage its potential liabilities as a result of specific cyber coverage and other coverage the Group provides to its (re)insurance policyholders, including business sourced by the Group's managing general underwriters, agents or intermediaries. However, this is an area where the threat landscape is uncertain and continues to evolve. There is a risk that increases in the frequency and effectiveness of cyber-attacks on the Group's policyholders could adversely affect, possibly to a material extent, the Group's business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.

This risk is also dependent on the measures individual policyholders take to protect themselves and keep pace with emerging threats, as well as on the development and issuance of policy terms and conditions which respond appropriately to the evolving threat landscape.

In addition, as the cyber insurance market is still in development and there is limited case law in relation to the interpretation of certain cyber policy wordings, the Group is potentially exposed to "silent cyber" risk, where cyber-related losses arise under policies that do not expressly include or exclude cyber perils, and there can be no assurance that a court or arbitration panel will interpret policy language, or otherwise issue a ruling, in a manner favorable to the Group.

***The Group may write selected quota share reinsurance policies and assume a share of the liabilities of its underlying reinsureds, which may expose it to certain losses.***

The Group may write selected quota share reinsurance policies and assume a share of the liabilities of its underlying reinsureds. The Group may suffer losses arising from the underwriting judgment of the reinsured's staff, the pricing, terms and conditions of the underlying business, sub-optimal claims management or other administrative shortcomings, incomplete or imperfect information disclosure, failures to observe underwriting guidelines (even if not contractually actionable) and unexpected catastrophic exposures arising in the reinsureds' own account. These risks may also apply to other forms of reinsurance written by the Group.

***Coverage disputes, emerging claims trends and social inflation could increase losses and adversely affect the Group's business.***

There can be no assurance that the provisions of the Group's insurance policies and reinsurance contracts, such as limitations on, or exclusions from, coverage, will be enforced as intended. Recent events, including the ongoing Ukraine Conflict, have resulted in disputes over policy language, sanctions and cancellation notices, contributing to increased uncertainty around emerging claims, including under the Group's policies.

Social inflation trends (i.e., expanded theories of liability, increased litigation, higher awards or settlements, and more frequent challenges to coverage or quantum) continue to influence primary claims and may affect the Group's reserving practices and underwriting decisions.

Emerging claims issues may not become apparent until after policies are written. As a result, the full extent of liability under impacted contracts may not be known for years. Certain lines of business have already seen heightened activity, including aviation claims (for example, an increase in turbulence-related injury claims) and wildfire-related exposures (including increased cost of materials and labor).

In the United States, the Group is also exposed to developments such as "assignment of benefits" ("AOB") practices in Florida, where inflated claims, increased litigation and associated attorney-fee structures have contributed to higher losses and loss adjustment expenses. While recent legislative reforms are intended to limit such abuse, the impact of these changes remains uncertain and AOB activity may continue to affect the Group's results.

The Group is further exposed to a growing trend in "bad faith" claims and to forum-shopping practices, where claimants seek to bring cases in jurisdictions perceived as more favorable to plaintiffs or to insureds. These risks may be heightened when claims arise under non-U.S. policies brought in U.S. courts, or where local procedural requirements differ from those in jurisdictions where the Group typically operates. Any of these developments could result in losses greater than those anticipated at the time of underwriting and could materially adversely affect the Group's business, financial condition or results of operations.

***The Group's historical track record, including the track record of some of the executives of TFP who are critical to the execution of the TFP Framework, may not be indicative of our future growth, and TFP's failure to retain such key personnel could seriously affect the Group's ability to conduct its business and execute the TFP Framework.***

The Group has experienced rapid growth since its inception, and the Group expects to continue to have access to more opportunities, including through its partnership with TFP. There can be no assurance that the Group's business, or the ability of TFP to source underwriting opportunities for the Group, will continue to grow and expand at the same rate since inception, if at all. A number of senior employees of the Group prior to January 2023, including Richard Brindle (TFP Group Chief Executive Officer and Chairman), are now employed by TFP. We depend on the experience and efforts of such executives of TFP, including Mr. Brindle, to carry out the services under the TFP Framework. There can be no assurance, however, that such key personnel will remain employed by TFP.

------

Additionally, any potential strategic transactions which TFP may pursue could increase retention risk of key personnel, including due to changes in compensation structures, transaction execution demands and increased public and regulatory scrutiny, and the management of TFP will need to devote substantial time and resources to such transaction, which may strain resources and divert management's attention from other business concerns, including such business matters which relate to the Group's operations. There are only a limited number of available and qualified executives with substantial experience in the (re)insurance industry and the ability to hire new employees could be hindered by factors outside of the Group's control. Accordingly, TFP's loss of the services of one or more of the members of its senior management team or other key personnel could significantly and negatively affect its ability to execute the TFP Framework, which could, in turn, have a material adverse effect on the Group's business and results of operations.

There is also no assurance that the executives' track record, including Mr. Brindle's track record at Lloyd's, Lancashire Holdings Limited ("Lancashire") and the Group will continue. If the Group is unable to increase the amount of premium that is written successfully, including where TFP cannot source sufficient opportunities for the Group, this may have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.

***We will continue to incur increased costs as a result of operating as a public company and our management team is required to devote substantial time to new compliance initiatives and corporate governance practices.***

As a U.S. public company we have incurred, and expect to continue to incur, significant legal, accounting, reporting and other expenses. We also incur costs and expenses for directors' fees, increased director and officer insurance costs, investor relations costs, and various other costs of a public company.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the "Dodd-Frank Act"), the listing requirements of the NYSE and other applicable securities rules and regulations impose various requirements on reporting public companies, including the establishment and maintenance of effective disclosure and financial controls and corporate governance practices. Our board of directors (the "Board") and other personnel have and will need to continue to devote a substantial amount of time to these compliance initiatives. Moreover, these rules and regulations, often subject to varying interpretations and continuously evolving over time, have and will continue to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly.

***The preparation of the Group's financial statements requires it to make many estimates and judgments that may be more difficult than those made by companies operating outside the (re)insurance sector.***

The preparation of the Group's audited consolidated financial statements and unaudited interim consolidated financial statements requires the Group to make numerous estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities (including reserves), revenues and expenses, and related contingent liability disclosures. The Group evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis, including estimates relating to revenue recognition, reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses, reinsurance balances recoverable, fair value measurements of investments and income tax expense. These estimates and judgments are based on market data, where available, and on various other assumptions the Group believes to be reasonable, which inform judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities not readily apparent from other sources.

Estimates and judgments for new (re)insurance lines of business may be more difficult to make than for more mature lines, due to more limited historical information. A significant portion of the Group's current loss reserves relates to IBNR reserves, which are based almost entirely on actuarial and statistical projections of expected ultimate settlement and administration costs. Actual claims and claim expenses paid may deviate, potentially substantially, from the reserve estimates reflected in the Group's audited and unaudited consolidated financial statements, which could materially adversely affect the Group's financial results.

***The Group is subject to litigation, the outcomes of which are inherently uncertain and could adversely affect its business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.***

The Group, in common with the insurance industry, is subject to litigation, mediation, arbitration and regulatory inquiries in the normal course of its business in a number of jurisdictions.

The Group operates in a complex legal and regulatory environment, and many aspects of its business involve substantial risks of liability. Clients or other parties may bring claims against the Group, and any insurance maintained by the Group may not cover all such claims or may be insufficient to protect against the full extent of potential liability. The Group may also be involved in litigation against third parties in the ordinary course of business, and outcomes may require adjustments to reserves or recognition of additional liabilities. Recent geopolitical conflicts, including the Ukraine Conflict, have contributed to increased claims activity and coverage disputes in certain lines of business, and may give rise to additional litigation or arbitration proceedings. For example, aircraft lessors instituted proceedings in the U.K., the U.S. and Ireland against numerous (re)insurers, including certain Group entities, in respect of aircraft that were not returned from Russia following the Ukraine Conflict. See Item 4.B. Business Overview "Legal Proceedings."

Litigation outcomes are inherently uncertain. If claims develop adversely, if loss estimates prove insufficient, or if settlements or judgments exceed reserved amounts or insurance recoveries, the Group may incur losses that materially adversely affect its financial

------

condition and operating results. Settlements may result in payments that differ (i.e., either higher or lower) from the amounts reserved. Depending on the number and magnitude of such matters, one or more adverse outcomes could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.

**Risks Relating to the Group's Strategic Relationship with The Fidelis Partnership**

***The Group relies on TFP for services critical to its underwriting, claims and other operations. The termination of or failure by TFP to perform under one or more agreements governing the Group's outsourced relationship with TFP may cause material disruption in our business or materially adversely affect our financial results.***

The Group relies on TFP to provide certain key services pursuant to the TFP Framework to operate its business, and the Group is limited in how it may conduct certain of its business activities as it must be in accordance with the parameters and limitations set forth in the TFP Framework. If any of the agreements constituting the TFP Framework were terminated or if TFP fails to perform any of the services outsourced to it under the TFP Framework, the Group may be required to hire additional staff to provide such services itself or retain a third party to provide such services, and no assurances can be made that the Group would be able to do so in a timely, efficient or cost-effective manner. This could lead to the Group's business model changing materially and the Group could therefore suffer, among other things, non-renewals and loss of business, financial loss, disruption of business, liability to third parties, regulatory intervention and reputational damage, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.

In addition, under the terms of the TFP Framework, TFP provides detailed reporting to the Group at a pre-agreed frequency with respect to, among other things, (i) accounting information (i.e., premiums written and earned, fees and claims information); (ii) underwriting information (including all insurance business underwritten under the Delegated Underwriting Authority Agreements); and (iii) claims handling information. If TFP fails to perform any of its reporting obligations, the Group could be severely impacted, such as FIHL being unable to comply with its own reporting obligations.

The Group also relies on TFP to facilitate, oversee and efficiently manage the claims process for the Group's policyholders in line with the parameters set forth in the TFP Framework. To the extent TFP exceeds its authority or otherwise fails to effectively manage the claims process, including failure to pay claims accurately, we may be subject to material litigation, the Group's reputation in the marketplace may be undermined or impaired, and we may be unable to renew existing policies or write new policies.

Any disagreements between the Group and TFP in respect of the TFP Framework may lead to a deterioration of the commercial relationship between the parties, which could ultimately result in FIHL choosing not to roll forward the term of the Framework Agreement, which would result in the termination of the Framework Agreement at the end of the then-current term. In addition, any shift in TFP's strategic priorities or resource allocation, including the pursuit of one or more strategic transactions resulting in TFP reorganizing, adopting new governance and compliance structures or modifying its compensation practices, could subject TFP or the Group to additional or heightened public and regulatory scrutiny, alter its availability of key personnel, affect the quality, timeliness or scope of services provided to the Group under the TFP Framework and increase the risk of litigation, regulatory inquiries or rating agency concerns.

Any of the aforementioned factors, or any other negative impact of TFP's services to the Group could result in the Group incurring additional costs, a modification of the current outsourced operating model implemented by the Group or any number of additional actions, any of which may have a material and adverse impact on the Group's business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

***Pursuant to the agreements between the Group and TFP, the Group retains an oversight and supervisory role over TFP's active role in executing the TFP Framework. If the Group's monitoring efforts prove inadequate, this could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.***

Pursuant to the TFP Framework, certain key underwriting and non-underwriting functions of the Group have been outsourced to TFP and TFP's employees are authorized to conduct business in accordance with the relevant provisions thereof, as overseen by the Group. The Group relies on established parameters in connection with its oversight and supervision of TFP. Although the Group monitors such business on an ongoing basis, its monitoring efforts may not be adequate to detect some or all instances in which TFP might attempt to exceed its authority or otherwise fail to comply with the terms of the TFP Framework. Over time, the relationship between the Group and TFP may deteriorate. To the extent TFP exceeds its authority, commits fraud or otherwise fails to comply with the terms of agreements governing its relationship with the Group, the Group's financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

***There can be no guarantee that the terms of the Separation Transactions, the TFP Framework and the other outsourcing agreements and arrangements between the Group and TFP are as favorable to the Group as if they had been negotiated with an unaffiliated third party.***

There can be no guarantee that the terms of the Separation Transactions, the TFP Framework and the other outsourcing agreements and arrangements between the Group and TFP, including the fees and commissions payable to TFP, are as favorable to the Group as if they had been negotiated with an unaffiliated third party and the Group's ongoing relationship with TFP may impact how the Group enforces its rights under the agreements. For example, the Group has limited rights of recourse against TFP in the event of an alleged breach of the TFP Framework. The TFP Framework contemplates that, save where liability cannot be excluded by law, neither the Group nor TFP is liable to each other in respect of any losses, except those losses resulting from gross negligence or intentional misconduct, or where TFP intentionally breaches the Group's underwriting guidelines (subject in each case to a cure period). Additionally, TFP may choose to pursue alternative strategic opportunities, which may result in TFP focusing on different performance goals and expectations that could increase the likelihood of commercial renegotiations or disputes regarding the fees, scope, service levels or other terms of these arrangements, or whether to continue existing arrangements at all. In the event of a material breach of any of the aforementioned agreements, the limitation of liability provisions contained therein could result in the Group's inability to claim damages, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.

***TFP HoldCo owns approximately 9.9% of our common shares. Additionally, a number of FIHL's current shareholders are also shareholders in TFP's parent entity and, in some cases, employees of TFP. As such, conflicts of interest may arise, which could result in decisions being taken that are not in the best interest of the Group's shareholders as a whole.***

Conflicts of interest may exist or could arise in the future with TFP due to a number of FIHL's current shareholders being employed by TFP or holding shares in TFP's ultimate parent entity. Such conflicts could be intensified if TFP were to pursue one or more strategic transactions, including as a result of increased public and regulatory scrutiny, differing stakeholder expectations and potential short-term performance pressures. Conflicts may arise with respect to, without limitation: (i) the enforcement of, and making changes to, the TFP Framework, as well as the exercise of the respective parties' rights thereunder, (ii) the management of TFP by persons who are shareholders of FIHL, (iii) shareholders who hold shares in both FIHL and TFP's ultimate parent entity, and (iv) decisions influenced by public market expectations, analyst coverage or other stakeholder pressures at the Group or TFP.

In addition, pursuant to contractual arrangements, TFP HoldCo has the right to sell the common shares its owns in FIHL whenever the Group decides to repurchase its common shares either in the open market or pursuant to privately negotiated transactions with one or more of its existing shareholders in order to ensure its beneficial ownership of FIHL's common shares does not exceed 9.9% of the total number of FIHL common shares issued and outstanding. The existence or exercise of this right could give rise to actual or perceived conflicts of interest, including with respect to the timing, pricing or approval of share repurchases by the Group. The availability of this right could adversely affect the trading price of FIHL's common shares, the Group's reputation or its relationships with shareholders. TFP HoldCo owns approximately 9.9% of FIHL's outstanding common shares. The foregoing conflicts and the interests of the Group on the one hand and TFP on the other could result in decisions being taken that are not in the best interest of the Group's shareholders as a whole.

**Risks Relating to the Operations Supporting the Group's Business**

***The Group depends, in certain cases, on its policyholders' evaluations or disclosures of the exposures, which may subject the Group to reinsurance disputes, liability, regulatory actions or reputational damage.***

The Group does not separately evaluate each of the original individual exposures assumed under some of its reinsurance business (such as quota share contracts or excess of loss contracts), including policies bound by third parties to whom underwriting authority has been delegated on a "non-prior submit" basis. In these situations, the Group is largely dependent on the original underwriting decisions made by ceding companies. The Group is subject to the risk that policyholders may not have adequately evaluated or disclosed insured exposures, and that ceded premiums may not adequately compensate the Group for the risks assumed. Similarly, the Group may rely on the original claims decisions made by its policyholders. Any failure by a customer to evaluate or disclose exposures or claims adequately could significantly and negatively affect the Group's business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.

Certain elements of the Group's business may also be written on the basis of sub-delegated authority through our strategic underwriting partners (including to third party managing general underwriters, agents or intermediaries). Although such strategic underwriting partners would in such cases be required to operate and maintain procedures to manage sub-delegated authority relationships, risks remain, including fraud, IT failures, failures to comply with referral and escalation procedures, inaccurate or incomplete bordereaux reporting and credit risk. The Group also relies on the underwriting judgment of such sub-delegated agents and intermediaries, which may differ from the decisions that would be made directly under its outsourced arrangements with its strategic underwriting partners. These risks could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.

------

***Operational risk exposures, such as IT, human or systems failures (including outsourcing arrangements), are inherent in the Group's business and may result in losses.***

Operational exposures and losses can result from, among other things, errors, failure to document transactions properly or to obtain proper internal authorization, failure to comply with regulatory requirements, information technology failures, bad faith delayed claims payment, fraud and external events, such as political unrest, state emergencies or industrial actions which could result in operational outage. The Group relies on third parties for information technology and application systems and infrastructure, which are exposed to certain limitations and risk of systemic failures. Any such outage could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.

The Group believes that such information technology and application systems and infrastructure are critical to the Group's business and their proper functioning, oversight and control environment, are an important part of the Group's underwriting process and its ability to maintain operational resilience. The Group also licenses certain of its key systems and data from third parties and cannot be certain that it will have continuous access to such third-party systems and data, or those of comparable service providers, or that the Group's information technology or application systems and infrastructure will operate as intended. The third party modeling software that the Group uses is important to the Group and any substantial or repeated failures in the accuracy or reliability of such software or the human interpretation of its outputs could result in a deviation from the Group's expected underwriting results. Further, the third parties' programs and systems may be subject to defects, failures, material updates or interruptions, including those caused by worms, viruses or power failures.

Failures in any of the aforementioned IT systems, as well as their proper functioning, oversight and control environment, could result in mistakes made in the confirmation or settlement of transactions, or in transactions not being properly booked, evaluated, priced or accounted for or delays in the payment of claims. Any such eventuality could cause the Group to suffer, among other things, financial loss, disruption of business, liability to third parties, regulatory intervention and reputational damage, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.

***Technology breaches or failures, including those resulting from a malicious cyber-attack on the Group or its business partners or service providers, could disrupt or otherwise negatively impact the business.***

Overall, the Group is subject to cybersecurity risks, including those related to cyber-attacks, security breaches and other similar incidents with respect to its and its service providers' information technology systems, the occurrence of which could result in regulatory scrutiny, legal liability or reputational harm, and we may incur increasing costs to minimize those risks.

Cybersecurity threats and incidents have increased in recent years in frequency, levels of persistence, sophistication and intensity, and we may be subject to heightened cyber-related risks. The Group has previously experienced attempts by cyber-criminals to compromise its IT infrastructure and personnel (e.g., through social engineering attempts), but to date, no such incident has resulted in any material impact on our business, results of operations or financial condition. The Group regularly monitors and updates its information and cyber security safeguards and controls to counter the ever-evolving cyber threat, and to ensure such safeguards and controls continue to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the Group's information and information technology systems. This has included making necessary changes to cybersecurity training and awareness initiatives. Despite such efforts, there can be no assurance that these steps will in fact prevent future attacks.

The Group's business depends on the proper functioning and availability of our information technology platform, including communications and data processing systems, proprietary systems (including those we license through TFP), and systems of our third party service providers. The Group relies on information technology systems and infrastructure to process, transmit, store and protect the electronic information, financial data and proprietary models (including as licensed) that are critical to the Group's business. Furthermore, a significant portion of the communications between the Group's employees and the Group's business, banking and investment partners depends on information technology and electronic information exchange architecture that may be outside our direct control. We are required to effect electronic transmissions with third parties, including brokers, clients, service providers and others with whom we do business, as well as with our Board. In addition, we collect, store and otherwise process personal information (including sensitive personal information) of our clients, employees and service providers. We have implemented and maintain what we believe to be reasonable security measures, but we cannot guarantee that the controls and procedures we or third parties have in place to protect or recover our respective systems and the information stored on such systems will be effective, successful or sufficiently responsive to avoid harm to our business.

Like all companies, the Group's information technology systems are vulnerable to data breaches, interruptions or failures due to events that may be beyond the control of the Group, including, but not limited to, natural disasters, theft, terrorist attacks, computer viruses, hackers and general technology failures. Cybersecurity threats are evolving in nature and becoming increasingly difficult to detect, and may come from a variety of sources, including organized criminal groups, "hacktivists," terrorists, nation states and nation state-supported actors. These threats include, among other things, computer viruses, worms, malware, ransomware, denial of service attacks, credential stuffing, social engineering, phishing attacks, human error, fraud, theft, malfeasance or improper access by employees or service providers, and other similar threats. Cyber-attacks, security breaches, and other similar incidents, including with

------

respect to third party systems that have access to or process our, our clients' or our employees' personal, proprietary and confidential information, could expose us to a risk of loss, disclosure or misuse of such information, litigation and enforcement action, potential liability and reputational harm. In addition, cybersecurity incidents, such as ransomware attacks, that impact the availability, integrity, confidentiality, reliability, performance, accuracy or other proper functioning of our systems could have a significant impact on our operations and financial results. We may not be able to anticipate all cyber-attacks, security breaches or other similar incidents, detect or react to such incidents in a timely manner, or adequately remediate any such incident.

Although we maintain processes, policies, procedures and technical safeguards that are designed to protect the security, confidentiality, integrity, availability, and privacy of personal, proprietary and confidential information, and our IT and cybersecurity arrangements are subject to periodic assessment through audits and penetration testing, we cannot eliminate the risk of human error or guarantee our safeguards against employee, service provider or third party malfeasance. It is possible that the measures we implement may not prevent improper access to, disclosure or misuse of the personal, proprietary or confidential information in our possession or control. Moreover, while we generally perform cybersecurity due diligence on our key service providers, we cannot ensure the cybersecurity measures they take will be sufficient to protect any information we share with them. Due to applicable laws, regulations, rules, standards and contractual obligations, we may be held liable for cyber-attacks, security breaches or other similar incidents attributed to our service providers as they relate to the information we share with them. This could cause harm to our reputation, create legal exposure, or otherwise subject us to liability under laws that protect personal data, resulting in increased costs or loss of revenue.

Despite safeguards, the Group has in the past experienced cybersecurity incidents (that were not deemed material), and may yet experience further incidents that may negatively impact (possibly even to a material extent) the Group's business. Any cybersecurity incident, including system failure, cyber-attacks, security breaches, disruption by malware or other damage, with respect to our or our service providers' information technology systems, could interrupt or delay our operations, result in a violation of applicable cybersecurity, privacy, data protection or other laws, regulations, rules, standards or contractual obligations, damage our reputation, cause a loss of customers or expose sensitive customer data, give rise to civil litigation, injunctions, damages, monetary fines or other penalties, subject us to additional regulatory scrutiny or notification obligations, and/or increase our compliance costs, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We cannot ensure that any limitations of liability provisions in our agreements with clients, service providers and other third parties with which we do business would be enforceable or adequate or otherwise protect us from any liabilities or damages with respect to any particular claim in connection with a cyber-attack, security breach or other similar incident. In addition, while we maintain insurance that would mitigate the financial loss under such scenarios, providing what we believe to be appropriate policy limits, terms and conditions, we cannot guarantee that our insurance coverage will be adequate for all financial and non-financial consequences from a cybersecurity event, that insurance will continue to be available to us on economically reasonable terms, or at all, or that our insurer will not deny coverage as to any future claim.

***The use or anticipated use of artificial intelligence ("AI") technologies, including generative AI, by the Group or third parties, may introduce new risks.***

AI technologies offer potential benefits, including enhanced analytics and operational efficiencies, and the Group expects the use of AI and generative AI by the Group, third-party providers and market participants (including competitors) to increase over time. The deployment of such technologies also poses risks, including misuse; flawed, biased or incomplete models or datasets; and unanticipated or erroneous outputs.

The rapid development of AI and the limited number of established laws, regulations or industry standards specifically governing its use may increase compliance and governance risks. The Group may also face challenges in obtaining and retaining personnel, expertise, intellectual property or other resources needed to develop, implement and maintain AI tools effectively. Competitors or other market participants may adopt AI or generative AI more quickly or more successfully than the Group, which could negatively affect the Group's competitive position.

Any failure by the Group or its third-party providers to manage AI-related risks appropriately could result in operational errors, reputational harm, regulatory or legal exposure or other adverse effects, any of which could have a material adverse impact on the Group's business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.

***The inability to attract, retain and manage key employees could restrict the Group's ability to implement its business strategy.***

The Group's future success depends significantly on its ability to continue to attract, retain and develop key employees to implement its long-term business strategy. In addition, within the (re)insurance industry, it is common for employers to impose post-termination restrictions on employees, and the enforceability of such restrictions is highly fact-specific and dependent on local law.

The Group operates in a highly competitive labor market with shortages and high turnover, requiring increased compensation and incentives to attract and retain employees. The Group's inability to hire, retain or fully utilize talented and experienced personnel, whether for these reasons or otherwise, could delay or prevent the Group from implementing its business strategy and could significantly and negatively impact its business.

------

Although the Group has executed employment agreements with key personnel, executives and other senior employees are free to resign, in accordance with applicable notice and non-compete provisions. As of December 31, 2025, the Group does not maintain key person life insurance with respect to any of its management. If any key employee dies, becomes incapacitated, or resigns, the Group would be responsible for locating and integrating an adequate replacement. If the Group is unable to do so, or is unable to do so within a reasonable period of time, its business may be significantly and negatively affected.

***The Group's ability to implement its business strategy could be adversely affected by Bermuda employment restrictions.***

Under Bermuda law, only Bermudians, spouses of Bermudians, holders of Permanent Residents' Certificates, naturalized British Overseas Territory Citizens, and persons exempt pursuant to the Incentives for Job Makers Act 2011 may engage in any gainful occupation in Bermuda without a valid government work permit. Work-permit positions generally must be advertised publicly unless the role qualifies for an automatic waiver (such as Chief Executive Officer and certain other senior executive roles, or director positions supported by an organizational chart), or a waiver is otherwise granted (for example, where the applicant has unique qualifications). A permit may be issued or renewed only if no suitably qualified Bermudian, Bermudian spouse, British Overseas Territory Citizen, or Permanent Residents' Certificate holder applies. Work permits are time-limited (up to five years), and there is no guarantee that they will be granted or renewed. If key Bermuda-based employees cannot obtain or renew permits, the Group could lose their services, potentially harming its business and delaying or preventing the execution of its strategy. The Group closely monitors actual and potential changes to Bermuda's immigration laws and the impact these may have on its employment practices and policies.

***The failure to retain letter of credit facilities and/or the need to provide assets directly as collateral may significantly and negatively affect the Group's financial condition and ability to successfully implement its business strategy.***

Certain of the Group's insurance and reinsurance customers require the relevant Group company to post a letter of credit ("LOC") and/or provide assets directly as collateral, and collateral may also be required from time to time for regulatory purposes. As of the date of this report, the Group maintains various LOC facilities for these purposes. See Item 5.B. Liquidity and Capital Resources "Letter of Credit Facilities" for more information.

An event of default under any of the LOC facilities (including as a result of events beyond the Group's control) may require the Group to liquidate assets held in these facilities, adversely affect the Group's liquidity position (as the facility providers have a security interest over posted collateral) or require the Group to take other material actions. Any such forced sale of investment assets could negatively affect the return on the Group's investment portfolio and, in turn, the types and amount of business the Group chooses to underwrite. A default under any of the LOC facilities may also allow the facility providers to exercise control over the collateral posted, negatively affecting the Group's ability to earn investment income or to pay claims or other operating expenses, and could adversely impact the Group's relationships with regulators, rating agencies and banking counterparties.

The Group generally expects to seek renewals of its existing LOC facilities. If the Group is unable to obtain and retain LOC facilities on commercially acceptable terms, this could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.

In addition, if the amount of assets the Group has to post as collateral to support cedant demands or regulatory requirements increases beyond a certain threshold, the Group may be left with insufficient liquid, available assets to support its business plan and day-to-day operations. This risk is heightened for FIBL and FUL which, if they were to lose their certified U.S. reinsurer status pursuant to certain excess and surplus licenses, would be required to post a much higher amount of collateral to carry on their business. This could impact the Group's business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations. The inability to renew or maintain LOC facilities may significantly limit the amount of reinsurance the Group can write or require the Group to modify its investment strategy. The Group may need additional LOC capacity as it grows and, if it is unable to renew, maintain or increase its LOC facilities on commercially acceptable terms, such developments could significantly and negatively affect the Group's ability to implement its business strategy.

**Risks Relating to the Group's Reliance on Third Parties in the Operation of its Business**

***The Group could be materially adversely affected to the extent that important third parties with whom the Group does business do not adequately or appropriately manage their risks, commit fraud or otherwise breach obligations owed to the Group.***

For certain lines of its insurance business, the Group currently authorizes (and may continue to authorize) managing general agents, general agents, and other producers to underwrite business on its behalf within defined underwriting authorities. This may include outsourced arrangements with strategic underwriting partners and sub-delegated authority granted to third-party managing general underwriters or other intermediaries. The Group relies on the underwriting controls of these parties to write business within the pre-approved authorities provided. Although the Group has contractual protections in some instances and monitors such business on an ongoing basis, such monitoring efforts may not be adequate and such parties may exceed their underwriting authorities, breach obligations owed to the Group or bind the Group on business outside of a designated authority, which could result in significant losses.

------

While the Group conducts its business in a diligent manner and applies rigorous standards in the selection of its counterparties, there is no assurance they will provide accurate or complete information to assess risk or that they can manage their own risks effectively. These counterparties are also subject to the same global increase in cyber incidents, and no assurance can be provided that such counterparties have sufficient technical and organizational controls to mitigate these risks. Consequently, the Group assumes a degree of credit and operational risk in respect of these parties, and any material failure to manage their risks may result in losses or damage to the Group. The Group's financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any such issues relating to third parties on whom it relies.

***The Group depends on agents, brokers, managing general underwriters and other intermediaries to distribute its products, and the loss of business provided by brokers and other intermediaries could adversely affect it and/or expose it to their respective credit risks.***

The distribution model for the Group's products is built on long-term relationships with quality clients and respect for the core broker distribution model. The Group and its agents are therefore dependent upon brokers and other intermediaries to distribute products. A broker assesses which insurance companies are suitable for it and its customers by considering, among other things, the security of claims payment and service, and prospects for future investment returns in the light of a company's product offering, personnel, past investment performance, financial strength and perceived stability, ratings and the quality of the service provided to the broker and its customer. Larger insurers and reinsurers may have more commercial influence with certain insurance and reinsurance brokers, either generally or in certain underwriting lines. A broker then determines which products are most suitable by considering, among other things, product features and price. Brokers and intermediaries are independent and are not obligated to recommend or sell the Group's products. Accordingly, the Group's relationships with brokers are important, and an unsatisfactory assessment of the Group, including based on product features, service, personnel, financial strength, ratings or perceived stability, could result in certain products or the Group overall not being actively marketed by brokers. Failure to maintain strong relationships with brokers could result in a loss of market share or reduced premium volumes.

The involvement of agents, brokers, managing general underwriters and other intermediaries also exposes the Group to their credit risk. As is customary, the Group will often pay claims amounts to an underwriting agent or broker, who then pays the insured or ceding insurer. If an agent or broker fails to make the relevant payment, the Group may still be liable to the insured due to local law or contractual obligations. Conversely, premiums paid by insureds or cedants to intermediaries for payment to the Group may be deemed paid to the Group even if the Group does not receive them, resulting in premium receivable credit risk. The concentration of the Group's business in a limited number of key brokers also increases exposure to reduced premium income if one or more of these brokers cease placing business with the Group. Any such failures or credit exposures could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.

**Risks Relating to Financial Markets and Liquidity**

***The Group's business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations may be adversely affected by reductions in the aggregate value of the Group's investment portfolio.***

The Group's operating results depend in part on the performance of its investment portfolio, which is substantially managed by external investment management firms in accordance with the Group's investment guidelines. The Group's investments may be subject to a variety of financial and capital market risks including, but not limited to, changes in interest rates, credit spreads, equity and commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates, increasing market volatility, liquidity risk, credit and default risk and, in certain cases, prepayment or reinvestment risk. Prolonged and severe disruptions in the public or private debt and equity markets (including volatility in interest rates, widening credit spreads, bankruptcies, defaults, significant ratings downgrades, geopolitical instability, and declines in equity or commodity markets) may cause significant losses in the Group's investment portfolio. Market volatility can also make it difficult to value certain securities if trading becomes infrequent. Depending on market conditions, the Group could incur substantial additional realized and unrealized investment losses in future periods.

The Group's investment portfolio is managed in accordance with pre-determined investment guidelines, which focus primarily on fixed-maturity and cash products but allow for a portion of the portfolio to be allocated to alternative or other investments. The guidelines may change depending on current and future events and market conditions. The Group's investment portfolio (and, specifically, the valuations of investment assets it holds) has been, and may continue to be, adversely affected by market impacts arising from global economic and geopolitical uncertainty. These impacts include changes in interest rates, declining credit quality of particular investments, reduced liquidity, fluctuating equity and commodity prices, international sanctions and related financial-market effects during periods of economic slowdown. Further, extreme market volatility may leave the Group unable to react to market events in a prudent manner consistent with more orderly markets.

The occurrence of large claims may force the Group to liquidate securities at an inopportune time, potentially causing investment losses. Large investment losses could decrease the Group's asset base and thereby affect its ability to underwrite new business, and could negatively impact the Group's shareholders' equity, business and financial strength and debt ratings. Broader stress in the

------

financial sector or failures of significant market participants may also impair liquidity in the markets in which the Group invests, including by reducing access to funding or constraining market liquidity.

The aggregate performance of the Group's investment portfolio also depends on the ability of the Group's investment managers to select and manage appropriate investments. As a result, the Group is exposed to operational risks which may include, among other things, failures of investment managers to perform in a manner consistent with the Group's investment guidelines, technological or staffing deficiencies, inadequate disaster recovery plans, and interruptions to business operations due to impaired performance or failure of information or IT systems. Any of these operational risks could adversely affect the Group's investment portfolio, financial performance and ability to conduct its business.

***The Group's results of operations and investment portfolio may be materially affected by conditions impacting the level of interest rates in the global capital markets and major economies, such as central bank policies on interest rates and the rate of inflation.***

As a global insurance and reinsurance company, the Group is affected by the monetary policies of the U.S. Federal Reserve Board, the Bank of England, the European Central Bank and other central banks around the world. Following the financial crisis of 2007 and 2008, and as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, these central banks took a number of actions to spur economic activity such as keeping interest rates low and enacting quantitative easing. Thereafter, these central banks have implemented monetary tightening policies, increasing interest rates in an effort to control and reduce inflation. More recently, some central banks have commenced easing again. Unconventional monetary policy from the major central banks, the reversal of such policies, the shift to monetary tightening policies and the impact on global economic growth remain key uncertainties for markets and the Group's business.

For example, in one of the Group's key markets for its products, the U.S. debt ceiling and budget deficit concerns continue to present the possibility of credit-rating actions, economic slowdowns, or a recession for the U.S. The impact of any negative action regarding the U.S. government's sovereign credit rating could adversely affect the U.S. and global financial markets and economic conditions. In addition, policies that may be pursued by the then current White House administration and the legislation that may be introduced by the U.S. Congress, could result in market volatility in the short term. These developments could cause more volatility in interest rates and borrowing costs, which may negatively impact the Group's ability to access the debt markets on favorable terms. Continued adverse economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, financial condition and results of operations. These and any future developments and reactions of the credit markets toward these developments could cause interest rates and borrowing costs to rise, which may negatively impact the Group's ability to obtain debt financing on favorable terms.

Throughout the last five years, the Federal Reserve and the Bank of England have each implemented policies to either decrease or increase interest rates in response to economic conditions and may change their monetary policy at any time. If either the Federal Reserve or the Bank of England raises interest rates, or if interest rates otherwise rise, the Group may be exposed to unrealized losses on its fixed maturity securities. Interest rates are influenced by matters other than the central banks' monetary policies, for example, economic indicators and outlook (unemployment data, GDP growth and consumer spending), global economic conditions and central bank communication. Volatility across these factors in the U.S., the U.K. and other key markets for the Group means that it may be impossible to reasonably predict the course of action the central banks may take in relation to changing their reference rates, and interest rates may increase even if monetary policy does not change. Changes in policy may also impact the overall liquidity and efficiency of fixed maturity markets.

The Group's exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to the changes in market price and cash flow variability of fixed maturity instruments that are associated with changes in interest rates. The Group's investment portfolio contains interest rate sensitive instruments, such as fixed maturity securities which have been, and will likely continue to be, affected by changes in interest rates from central bank monetary policies, domestic and international economic and political conditions, levels of inflation and other factors beyond the Group's control. The Group's fixed maturity portfolio may also include asset classes such as asset-backed securities and emerging market debt, which are riskier in nature than some of the Group's other fixed maturity instruments and could adversely impact the Group's investment portfolio. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary policies,

***Unexpected volatility, decline or illiquidity associated with some of the Group's investments could significantly and negatively affect the Group's investment portfolio, financial results, liquidity or ability to conduct business.***

The Group derives a meaningful portion of its income from invested assets, principally fixed maturity securities. Accordingly, the Group's financial results are subject to a variety of investment risks, including those relating to general economic conditions, inflation, market volatility, interest rate fluctuations, foreign currency movements, liquidity risk and credit and default risk. Volatility in global financial markets has impacted, and may continue to impact, the value of the Group's investment portfolio and strategic investments. The Group's portfolio also includes longer-duration securities, which may be more susceptible to interest-rate and inflation risk. Changes in prevailing interest rates and credit spreads may cause fluctuations in the market value of the Group's fixed maturity investments.

Increases in interest rates could reduce the market value of the Group's fixed maturity securities and capital resources, while declines in interest rates could reduce reinvestment yields and net investment income. Interest rates are sensitive to monetary policy, inflation

levels and macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions. Significant volatility may also make it difficult to value certain securities, and in stressed market conditions the Group may be required to liquidate investments at substantially lower prices to meet liquidity needs.

A portion of the Group's investment portfolio is managed by external investment managers, and another portion is allocated to higher-risk or less liquid asset classes, which may include structured notes, equities, high-yield bonds, bank loans, emerging-market debt, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, real estate funds, private credit funds, private equity funds, infrastructure funds, hedge funds and short-term secured products. For certain investments, the values recorded may differ significantly from those that would be obtained if ready markets existed. Many such investments are subject to restrictions on redemptions or sales, which may limit the Group's ability to liquidate positions quickly or without loss.

The performance of these asset classes also depends on individual investment managers and their investment strategies, and investment managers may change or fail to follow the Group's investment guidelines. The portfolio may also become concentrated in particular issuers, sectors or geographic regions, increasing exposure to adverse developments or volatility. Broader financial-institution stress events or counterparty defaults in the market could also impair liquidity and the Group's ability to liquidate or value assets.

Any of the foregoing could result in declines in the Group's investment performance and capital resources and adversely affect the Group's business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.

***The determination of allowances and impairments taken on the Group's investments is highly subjective and could materially impact the Group's operating results or financial position.***

The Group reviews its investments on a regular basis to determine the amount of any decline in fair value below cost that is considered to be the current expected credit loss ("CECL") in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. Determining the appropriate allowance requires judgment and involves analyzing many factors. Assessing the accuracy of the level of allowances reflected in the Group's financial statements is inherently uncertain, given the subjective nature of this process.

Additional impairments or allowances may be required in the future based on events affecting specific investments. The absence of CECL allowances at any point in time does not ensure that allowances will not be required in the future. Future impairments or any error in accounting for them may have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.

***Currency fluctuations could result in exchange losses and negatively impact the Group's business.***

The Group's functional currency is the U.S. dollar. However, because the Group's business strategy includes insuring and reinsuring obligations created or incurred outside the U.S., the Group writes a portion of its business and receives premiums in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. As a result, the Group is subject to currency transaction risk arising from mismatches between cash flows, and translation risk because the Group reports in U.S. dollars while certain premiums, reserves and expenses are denominated in other currencies.

The Group determines whether and to what extent to hedge its foreign currency exposures monthly. To the extent these exposures are not hedged or are insufficiently hedged, the Group may experience exchange losses, which could materially and negatively affect its business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.

***The management of the Group's investment portfolio in accordance with its sustainability principles and ESG objectives could have an adverse impact on the Group's investment portfolio, business, financial condition, liquidity or operating results.***

The Group's investment portfolio is managed consistent with the sustainability principles and ESG objectives adopted by the Group. As a result, the Group may forgo certain investment opportunities in order to comply with such criteria, which may cause the performance of the portfolio to differ from what it may otherwise achieve.

There is also a risk that investment opportunities identified by the Group's investment managers as being consistent with the Group's criteria do not operate as expected when addressing ESG issues, or that the ESG performance of an issuer changes over time. Data and reporting relating to ESG factors may be unavailable, incomplete or unreliable. If investments made in accordance with the Group's sustainability principles and ESG objectives do not perform as expected, or if its managers fail to apply such principles consistently, the Group's investment portfolio, business, financial condition, liquidity or operating results could be adversely affected.

***Financial market volatility could adversely impact the value of the Group's investment portfolio and could affect the Group's ability to access liquidity and capital markets financing or receive dividends from its operating subsidiaries.***

Financial market volatility could adversely impact the value of the Group's investment portfolio and, in periods of stress, may also affect the Group's ability to access liquidity and other capital markets financings. Inflation, high interest rates, reduced liquidity in financial markets and a slowdown in global economic conditions can increase the risk of defaults and downgrades and increase volatility in the value of many of the investments the Group holds. In addition, steps taken by governmental institutions in response to

------

financial market volatility and the costs of such actions could lead to higher-than-expected inflation and further stress on global financial markets, including government bond markets.

Weak economic conditions or increased volatility in U.S. and international financial markets (including as a result of geopolitical events) may reduce demand for the Group's products, affect the creditworthiness of customers and counterparties and adversely impact the liquidity and performance of the Group's investment portfolio. A default or distress of one or more large financial institutions, or broader systemic stress, could also result in market instability, liquidity disruptions or investment losses. In addition, an actual or predicted sovereign default, or a downgrade of U.S. or non-U.S. government securities by credit rating agencies, could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.

Heightened market volatility has previously led to periods in which credit spreads widened significantly, which, if repeated, may negatively impact the Group's ability to access liquidity and capital markets financing such that it may not be available or may only be available on unfavorable terms. Further, regulators in certain jurisdictions may impose dividend restrictions on insurance companies in response to economic uncertainties, which could impact liquidity for holding companies that have insurance subsidiaries in those jurisdictions.

As a holding company with no direct operations, FIHL relies on dividends and other permitted payments from its subsidiaries. If its operating subsidiaries are unable to pay dividends to it, FIHL may be unable to make principal and interest payments on its debt or to pay dividends to holders of common shares. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.

***An inflationary environment could have a material adverse impact on the Group's operations.***

Steps taken by governments throughout the world in response to the recent economic and geopolitical climate, expansionary monetary policies and other factors have led to an inflationary environment in recent years. In operating its business, the Group experiences the effects of inflation, including increased labor and construction costs. Furthermore, the Group's operations, like those of other insurers and reinsurers, are susceptible to the effects of inflation because premiums are established before the ultimate amounts of losses and loss adjustment expenses are known. Although the Group considers the potential effects of inflation when setting premium rates, premiums may not fully offset the effects of inflation and thereby may result in underpricing of the risks insured and reinsured by the Group.

Loss reserves include assumptions about future payments for settlement of claims and claims-handling expenses, such as the cost of replacing property, associated labor costs for the property business the Group writes and litigation costs. To the extent economic or social inflation (such as through outsized court awards, particularly in the United States) causes costs to increase above loss reserves established for claims, the Group will be required to increase loss reserves with a corresponding reduction in net income in the period in which the deficiency is identified, which could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.

Unanticipated higher inflation could also lead to higher interest rates, which would negatively impact the value of the Group's fixed-maturity securities and potentially its other investments, and could reduce the real (inflation-adjusted) returns on those investments.

**Risks Relating to Regulation of the Group**

***If the Group becomes directly subject to insurance statutes and regulations in jurisdictions other than Bermuda, the E.U. or the U.K. or there is a change to the law or regulations or application of the law or regulations of Bermuda, the E.U. or the U.K., this could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.***

In each of the jurisdictions in which the Group operates and in which the Group will operate, it has to comply with laws and regulations applicable to regulated (re)insurers. The Group's primary supervisory authority is the Bermuda Monetary Authority (the "BMA"). FIBL is a registered Bermuda Class 4 insurer pursuant to the Insurance Act 1978 of Bermuda, as amended (the "Bermuda Insurance Act"), and as such, it is subject to regulation and supervision in Bermuda by the BMA. FIID operates from the Republic of Ireland and is authorized and regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland (the "CBI") to carry on certain classes of non-life insurance business. On the basis of its CBI authorization, FIID is able to offer its insurance services into certain European Economic Area ("EEA," which is a free trade area including the 27 member states of the E.U. together with Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway) jurisdictions on a cross-border basis without the need for separate authorizations in such jurisdictions. FUL operates from the U.K. and is authorized by the Prudential Regulation Authority (the "PRA") and regulated by the PRA and the Financial Conduct Authority (the "FCA") with permission to underwrite certain classes of general insurance. Fidelis IG Corporate Member is a Corporate Member at Lloyd's and subject to regulation and direction from Lloyd's.

Each aspect of the regulatory environment in which the Group operates and in which the Group will operate is subject to change, which may be retrospective. Specifically, the Group may face new regulatory costs and challenges as a result of various recent changes to the U.K. and E.U. insurance regulatory regimes. The U.K. and the E.U. insurance prudential regimes have, until recently, been broadly identical as both are derived from the Solvency II Directive. However, the laws and regulations of the U.K. and the E.U.

------

have recently begun to diverge, and will continue to do so in the near future. Complying, or failing to comply, with existing and new regulations could result in additional costs or resources for the Group, which could have an adverse effect (including to a material extent) on the financial condition or results of operations of the Group.

Further, the U.K. revoked all U.K. insurance legislation derived from EU law (referred to as Solvency II 'assimilated law') with effect from December 31, 2024, and broadly reinstated it via additional rules in the PRA Rulebook and secondary PRA regulatory publications (which take the form of Statements of Policy and Supervisory Statements). This new body of U.K. insurance regulation is known as "Solvency UK." Similarly, the E.U.'s legislative bodies have undertaken their own review of the Solvency II Directive, and have adopted an amending directive containing a number of revisions to the current Solvency II text. E.U. member states have until January 2027 to implement these amendments into their respective domestic legislation. Bermuda, E.U. and U.K. insurance statutes and the regulations and policies of the BMA, the CBI, the PRA and the FCA may require FIBL, FIID and FUL to, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• maintain a minimum level of capital, surplus and liquidity;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• satisfy solvency standards;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• obtain prior approval of ownership and transfer of shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• maintain a principal office and appoint and maintain a principal representative in Bermuda (for FIBL), the Republic of Ireland (for FIID) and the U.K. (for FUL), respectively;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• maintain a head office; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• comply with legal and regulatory restrictions with respect to their ability to pay dividends and make capital distributions upon which the Group is reliant to provide cash flow required for debt service and dividends to FIHL's shareholders.

These statutes, regulations and policies may affect the Group's ability to write insurance and reinsurance policies, to distribute funds around the Group and to shareholders, and to pursue its investment strategy.

The Group does not presently intend that it will create a physical presence in any jurisdiction in the U.S. The Group is not licensed to write insurance on an admitted basis in any state in the U.S. but, as an alien insurer and certified reinsurer, FIBL and FUL are eligible to write surplus lines business. However, there can be no assurance that insurance regulators in the U.S. or elsewhere will not review the activities of the Group or related companies or its agents and assert that the Group is subject to such jurisdiction's licensing requirements. If any such assertion is successful and the Group is required to obtain a license, it may be subject to taxation in such jurisdiction. In addition, the Group is subject to indirect regulatory requirements imposed by jurisdictions that may limit its ability to provide insurance or reinsurance. For example, the Group's ability to write insurance may be subject, in certain cases, to arrangements satisfactory to applicable regulatory bodies. Proposed legislation and regulations may have the effect of imposing additional requirements upon, or restricting the market for, alien insurers or reinsurers with whom U.S. companies place business.

Bermuda, E.U. and U.K. insurance statutes and regulations applicable to the Group may be different in scope from those that would be applicable if FIBL, FUL and/or FIID were licensed in and governed by the laws of any state in the U.S. In the past, there have been U.S. congressional and other initiatives in the U.S. regarding proposals to supervise and regulate insurers domiciled outside the U.S. If in the future the Group becomes increasingly subject to any insurance laws of the U.S. or any state thereof or of any other jurisdiction, the Group cannot be certain that it would be in compliance with those laws or that coming into compliance with those laws would not have a significant and negative effect on its business. The process of obtaining licenses in the U.S. and elsewhere is time-consuming and costly, and FIBL, FUL or FIID may not be able to become licensed in a jurisdiction other than Bermuda, the Republic of Ireland or the U.K. should they choose to do so. The modification of the conduct of the Group's business resulting from FIBL, FUL or FIID becoming licensed in certain jurisdictions could significantly and negatively affect its business. In addition, the Group's inability to comply with insurance and reinsurance statutes and regulations could significantly and adversely affect its business by limiting its ability to conduct business as well as subjecting the Group to penalties and fines and having adverse reputational consequences for the Group.

***The increased level of regulatory scrutiny in respect of material outsourcing arrangements in Bermuda, the E.U. and the U.K. could have a material adverse effect on the operating costs of the Group's business and could increase the risk of disruption to the Group's operations due to regulatory intervention.***

The Framework Agreement, the Delegated Underwriting Authority Agreements and the Inter-Group Services Agreement are regarded as "material outsourcing agreements" or "outsourcing of critical or important operational functions or activities" under the laws and regulation in each of the United Kingdom and the European Union. See Item 4.B. Business Overview "Regulatory Matters" for further information on material outsourcing agreements and outsourcing of critical or important operational functions or activities. Accordingly, the Group may incur additional operating costs in establishing the systems and controls required to appropriately oversee and monitor the effective performance of these agreements by TFP.

In addition, pursuant to the Insurance Act, FIBL shall not take any steps to effect a material change, including (i) outsourcing all or substantially all of its actuarial, risk management, compliance or internal audit functions, (ii) outsourcing all or a material part of its

------

underwriting activity, and (iii) outsourcing of an officer role, unless it has first served notice on the BMA that it intends to effect such a material change and before the end of 30 days, either the BMA has notified FIBL in writing that it has no objection to such change or that the period has elapsed without the BMA having issued a notice of objection. There is a risk that the BMA may not grant its no-objection to certain new or material changes to the existing outsourcing arrangements that FIBL may propose in the future, including in relation to the TFP Framework.

Further, there has been an increased level of regulatory scrutiny of material outsourcing agreements in each jurisdiction generally, which could result in a greater risk of regulatory intervention in respect of these agreements. Such regulatory intervention may include the regulators' use of their investigative powers (such as requiring reports to be prepared by senior individuals), the exercise of audit rights against any Group company or requests for documents and information relating to the performance of the agreements.

These regulatory interventions could be disruptive for the Group's business operations, and may result in the Group being required to make further changes to its systems and controls, such as increased reporting to company boards, improving data storage facilities and implementing additional oversight of TFP. It is possible that, as a corollary, the Group will incur increased operational costs. The Group could also experience an adverse effect on its business if the regulatory interventions impede the effective operation of the TFP Framework. See Item 4.B. Business Overview "Regulatory Matters—United Kingdom Insurance Regulation."

***Changes to the regulatory systems or loss of authorizations, permits or licenses under which the Group operates or breach of regulatory requirements by the Group could have a material adverse effect on its business.***

FIHL and FIBL (both incorporated in Bermuda), FUL and Fidelis IG Corporate Member (incorporated in England and Wales) and FIID (incorporated in the Republic of Ireland) may be subject to changes of law or regulation in these jurisdictions which may have an adverse impact on their operations, including the imposition of tax liabilities or increased regulatory supervision. The Group is also exposed to changes in accounting standards, some of which may be significant. In addition, FIHL, FIBL, FUL, Fidelis IG Corporate Member and FIID will be exposed to changes in the political environment in Bermuda, the E.U., the Republic of Ireland and the U.K. The Bermuda insurance and reinsurance regulatory framework continues to be subject to increased scrutiny in many jurisdictions, including in Europe and the U.S. and in various states within the U.S.

The Group's ability to conduct insurance and reinsurance business in different countries generally requires the holding and maintenance of certain licenses, permissions or authorizations, and compliance with rules and regulations promulgated from time to time in these jurisdictions. A principal exception to this is with respect to cross-border reinsurance in the U.S. and other countries.

The Group is not licensed to write insurance on an admitted basis in any state in the U.S. but, as an alien insurer, FIBL and FUL are eligible to write surplus lines business in all 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia and other U.S. jurisdictions based on its listing in the Quarterly Listing of Alien Insurers of the International Insurers Department ("IID") of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC"). Pursuant to IID requirements, the Group established U.S. surplus lines trust funds with a U.S. bank to secure U.S. surplus lines policies. The Group accepts business only through U.S. licensed surplus lines brokers and does not market directly to the public. Failure to maintain its IID listing could have a material adverse effect on the Group's ability to write surplus and excess lines of business in the U.S. For reinsurance, as of December 31, 2025, there are no U.S. licenses required because the Group operates outside the U.S. In common with other non-U.S. reinsurers, the Group holds certified and/or reciprocal reinsurance licenses in certain states. Where required, the entities collateralize and post letters of credit or establish other security in order to enable U.S. cedants to take financial statement credit for liabilities ceded to members of the Group. See Item 4.B. Business Overview "Regulatory Matters" for a more detailed discussion of the regulatory environment in which FIBL and FUL write surplus lines business in the U.S. and reinsure U.S. cedants, including in relation to the Group's obligations to post reduced collateral pursuant to certified and reciprocal jurisdiction reinsurer status.

A failure to comply with rules and regulations in a jurisdiction could lead to disciplinary action, the imposition of fines or the revocation of the license, permission or authorization necessary to conduct the Group's business in that jurisdiction, which could have a material adverse effect on the continued conduct of business and also adverse reputational consequences for the Group.

In particular, during 2023 the Irish Government introduced a new "Individual Accountability Framework" that is intended to improve governance, performance, and accountability of firms, particularly by increasing individual accountability. The final aspects of the framework were brought into force on July 1, 2025. Failure to properly implement this framework could lead to the imposition of penalties including fines, the suspension or revocation of authorization, and the disqualification or restriction of senior executives. These penalties could have a material adverse effect on the continued conduct of business and also adverse reputational consequences for the Group.

It is possible that insurance regulators in the U.S. or elsewhere may review the activities of FIHL, FIBL, FUL and FIID and assert that they are subject to such jurisdiction's licensing requirements and require that FIHL, FIBL, FUL and/or FIID comply with additional regulatory obligations. Having to meet such requirements, however, could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations of the Group, FIBL, FUL and/or FIID. Alternatively, or in addition, any necessary changes to operations could subject FIHL, FIBL, FUL and/or FIID to taxation in the U.S. or elsewhere.

------

In recent years, regulation of the insurance and reinsurance industry in the U.S., the U.K., Bermuda, the E.U. and other markets in which the Group operates has been subject to significant review. These reviews have led to changes in certain legal and regulatory provisions which govern the operations of the Group, and it can be expected that further reviews and changes to applicable laws and regulations will occur in the future. The Group cannot predict the effect that any proposed or future law or regulation may have on the financial condition or results of operations of the Group. Changes in applicable laws or regulations or in their interpretation or enforcement could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.

In particular, changes in regulatory capital requirements in the U.S., the U.K., the E.U. or Bermuda may impact upon the level of capital reserves required to be maintained by individual Group entities or by the Group as a whole.

***Privacy and data protection failures could disrupt the Group's business, damage its reputation and cause losses.***

The Group's business is subject to cybersecurity, privacy and data protection laws, regulations, rules, standards and contractual obligations in the jurisdictions in which we operate, which can increase the cost of doing business, compliance risks and potential liability. These cybersecurity, privacy and data protection laws, regulations, rules, standards and contractual obligations in jurisdictions in which we operate are complex, evolving, and may differ significantly from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, and legislators and regulators are increasingly focused on these issues. Ensuring that our collection, use, transfer, storage and other processing of personal information complies with such requirements can increase operating costs, impact the development of new products or services, and reduce operational efficiency.

See Item 4.B. Business Overview "Regulatory Matters" for a discussion of the data protection laws applicable to Fidelis Insurance Group in each of Bermuda, U.K. and Ireland.

***The Group's failure to comply with the regulation of artificial intelligence could result in an adverse effect on the Group's business, financial condition and results of operations.***

As a result of increased innovation and technology in the insurance sector, insurance regulators are focused on the use of "big data" techniques, such as the use of AI, machine learning and automated decision-making. The Group cannot predict what, if any, changes to laws and regulations may be enacted with regard to innovation and technology in the insurance sector. Further, the Group cannot predict whether other potentially applicable AI-related regulation or legislation will be enacted, or what impact, if any, such regulation or legislation may have on its business practices, results of operations or financial condition.

The EU has developed a standalone law to govern the offering and use of AI systems in the EU (the "AI Act") which entered into force on August 1, 2024. The AI Act applies in phases depending on the regulatory requirement in question from February 2025 to August 2027, when all provisions of the AI Act will apply. The AI Act imposes regulatory requirements onto AI system providers, importers, distributors, and deployers, in accordance with the level of risk involved with the AI system ("unacceptable", "high", "limited", and "minimal" risk). General-purpose AI systems have also been made subject to a number of requirements – mostly akin to the requirements that apply to high-risk AI systems under the AI Act.

Non-compliance with the AI Act may be subject to regulatory fines of up to 7% of annual worldwide turnover or €35 million. In parallel, on October 10, 2024, the E.U. adopted the E.U. Product Liability Directive to regulate non-contractual and non-fault based liability for defective products, including digital products and AI, facilitating consumer redress for defective AI and digital products.

The U.K. has not, to date, adopted a dedicated AI legislation instead looking to rely on a principles-based, sector-specific approach to AI regulation.

We are assessing the scope of application, impact, and risk of these AI and cyber developments in the E.U. and the U.K. on our business and will continue to assess this moving forward. Compliance with these new AI and cyber laws and regulations may require substantial amendments to our procedures and policies and the changes could adversely impact our business by increasing operational and compliance costs or impact business practices. Further, there is a risk that the amended policies and procedures will not be implemented correctly or that individuals within the business will not be fully compliant with the new procedures. If there are breaches of these measures, we could face significant litigation, government investigations, administrative and monetary sanctions as well as, reputational damage which may have a material adverse effect on our operations, financial condition and prospects.

***The Group is required to comply with applicable laws and regulations relating to financial, economic and trade sanctions and bribery. The Group's failure to comply with these laws and regulations could have an adverse effect on the Group's business, financial condition and results of operations.***

The Group is required to comply with all applicable economic and trade sanctions laws and regulations and anti-bribery laws and regulations. Various governmental authorities with jurisdiction over the Group's activities maintain economic and trade sanctions regimes that may restrict the Group's ability to conduct transactions or dealings with certain countries, territories, individuals, entities, vessels or aircraft. In addition, the Group is subject to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other anti-bribery laws that generally prohibit corrupt payments or improper gifts to non-U.S. governments or officials.

------

Sanctions regimes imposed in response to geopolitical conflicts, including the Ukraine Conflict, have increased compliance complexity and enforcement risk. Although the Group maintains policies and procedures designed to promote compliance with applicable sanctions and anti-bribery laws, there can be no assurance that violations or alleged violations will not occur. Any such violations could result in civil or criminal penalties, fines or other enforcement actions, as well as reputational harm.

Any of the foregoing could adversely affect the Group's business, financial condition and results of operations.

***Failure to meet ESG expectations or standards, or achieve ESG goals or commitments could adversely affect the Group's business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.***

In recent years, there has been an increased focus from shareholders, business partners, cedants, regulators, politicians, and the public in general on ESG matters, including greenhouse gas emissions, carbon footprint and climate-related risks, renewable energy, fossil fuels, diversity, equity and inclusion, responsible sourcing and supply chain, human rights, and social responsibility.

The Group has established certain ESG-related goals, commitments, and targets. Such goals, commitments, and targets reflect the Group's current plans and aspirations and do not guarantee that the Group will be able to achieve them. Evolving shareholder and cedant expectations, regulatory obligations or political pressures and the Group's efforts to manage, report on and accomplish set goals present numerous operational, regulatory, reputational, financial, legal, and other risks, any of which could have a material adverse impact on the Group's reputation, business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.

The Group may be unable to satisfactorily meet evolving expectations, standards, regulations and disclosure requirements related to ESG. Such matters can affect the willingness or ability of investors to make an investment in FIHL, as well as the Group's ability to meet its regulatory obligations, including compliance with any rules related to carbon footprint and greenhouse gas emissions. Negative perceptions regarding the scope or sufficiency and transparency of the Group's commitment to and reporting on ESG matters and events that give rise to actual, potential, or perceived compliance with social responsibility matters could hurt the Group's reputation and cause cedants to seek alternative business partners. Such loss of reputation could make it difficult and costly for the Group to regain the confidence of its business partners resulting in an adverse effect on the Group's business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations. Further, the Group's potential failure or perceived failure to satisfy various reporting standards and regulations on a timely basis, or at all, could have similar negative impacts or expose it to government enforcement actions and private litigation.

**Risks Relating to Taxation—U.S. Tax Risks**

For purposes of this discussion, the term "U.S. Person" means a person that is treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as: (i) an individual citizen or resident of the U.S., (ii) a partnership or corporation, created in or organized under the laws of the U.S., or organized under the laws of any political subdivision thereof, (iii) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source, or (iv) a trust if either (x) a court within the U.S. is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of such trust and one or more U.S. Persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of such trust, or (y) the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. Person for U.S. federal income tax purposes. For purposes of this discussion, the term "U.S. Holder" means a U.S. Person who beneficially owns common shares and is not treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a partnership.

The U.S. federal income tax treatment of non-U.S. companies and investments therein by U.S. persons has been the subject of recent tax legislation. It is possible that other legislation could be introduced and enacted by the current Congress or future Congresses. Additionally, future regulations, pronouncements or judicial decisions may be forthcoming as well. We cannot be certain if, when, or in what form such legislation, regulations, pronouncements or judicial decisions may be provided, whether they will have a retroactive effect or whether they will have an adverse impact on the Group or U.S. Holders.

***FIHL and/or its non-U.S. subsidiaries may be subject to U.S. federal income taxation.***

A non-U.S. corporation that is engaged in the conduct of a U.S. trade or business will be subject to U.S. federal income tax as described below, unless entitled to the benefits of an applicable tax treaty. Whether a trade or business is being conducted in the U.S. is an inherently factual determination. We intend to manage our business in a manner such that FIHL and each of its non-U.S. subsidiaries, other than Fidelis IG Corporate Member, are not treated as engaged in a trade or business within the U.S. However, as the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), regulations and court decisions fail to identify definitively activities that constitute being engaged in a trade or business in the U.S., the Group cannot be certain that the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") will not contend successfully that FIHL and/or its non-U.S. subsidiaries are or will be engaged in a trade or business in the U.S. A non-U.S. corporation deemed to be so engaged would be subject to U.S. income tax at regular corporate rates on the portion of its income that is treated as effectively connected with the conduct of that U.S. trade or business ("ECI"), as well as the branch profits tax on its dividend equivalent amount (generally, the ECI (with certain adjustments) deemed withdrawn from the U.S.), unless the corporation is entitled to relief under an applicable tax treaty. Any such U.S. federal income taxation could result in substantial tax liabilities and could have a material adverse effect on the results of operation of FIHL and its non-U.S. subsidiaries.

------

***U.S. Holders will be subject to adverse tax consequences if FIHL is considered a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes.***

In general, a non-U.S. corporation will be a passive foreign investment company ("PFIC") during a given year if (i) 75% or more of its gross income constitutes "passive income" (the "75% test") or (ii) 50% or more of its assets produce (or are held for the production of) passive income (the "50% test"). If FIHL were characterized as a PFIC during a given year, each U.S. Holder generally would be subject to a penalty tax at the time of the taxable disposition at a gain of, or receipt of an "excess distribution" with respect to, their shares, unless such person is a 10% U.S. Shareholder (as defined below) subject to tax under the controlled foreign corporation ("CFC") rules or such person made a "qualified electing fund" ("QEF") election or, if the common shares are treated as "marketable stock" in such year, such person made a mark-to-market election. In addition, if FIHL were considered a PFIC, upon the death of any U.S. individual owning shares such individual's heirs or estate would not be entitled to a "step-up" in the basis of the shares that might otherwise be available under U.S. federal income tax laws. In addition, a distribution paid by FIHL to U.S. Holders that is characterized as a dividend and is not characterized as an excess distribution would not be eligible for reduced rates of tax as qualified dividend income if FIHL were considered a PFIC in the taxable year in which such dividend is paid or in the preceding taxable year. A U.S. Person that is a shareholder in a PFIC may also be subject to additional information reporting requirements, including the filing of an IRS Form 8621.

For the above purposes, passive income generally includes interest, dividends, annuities and other investment income. The PFIC rules provide that income derived in the active conduct of an insurance business by a qualifying insurance corporation is not treated as passive income (the "insurance income exception"). The PFIC provisions also contain a look-through rule under which a foreign corporation will be treated, for purposes of determining whether it is a PFIC, as if it "received directly its proportionate share of the income…" and as if it "held its proportionate share of the assets…" of any other corporation in which it owns at least 25% of the value of the stock (the "look-through rule"). Under the look-through rule, FIHL should be deemed to own its proportionate share of the assets and to have received its proportionate share of the income of its non-U.S. insurance subsidiaries for purposes of the 75% test and the 50% test. For purposes of the insurance income exception, a non-U.S. insurance company is a qualifying insurance corporation for a taxable year if it would be taxable as an insurance company if it were a U.S. corporation and its applicable insurance liabilities constitute more than 25% of its total assets (the "25% Test") (or, with respect to a U.S. Person who makes a valid election, maintains insurance liabilities that equal or exceed 10% of its assets, is predominantly engaged in an insurance business and satisfies a facts-and-circumstances test that requires a showing that the failure to exceed the 25% threshold is due to runoff-related or rating-related circumstances (the "10% Test," together with the 25% Test, the "Reserve Test")). The Group believes that FIBL has met this Reserve Test and will continue to do so in the foreseeable future, in which case FIHL would not be expected to be a PFIC, although no assurance may be given that FIBL will satisfy the Reserve Test in future years.

Further, the Treasury Department has issued final and proposed regulations intended to clarify the application of the insurance income exception (the "2021 Regulations"). The 2021 Regulations set forth in proposed form certain requirements that must be met to satisfy the "active conduct of an insurance business" test, including providing that a non-U.S. insurer with no or a nominal number of employees that relies exclusively or almost exclusively upon independent contractors (other than related entities) to perform its core functions will not be treated as engaged in the active conduct of an insurance business. Further, the 2021 Regulations: (i) generally limit the rating-related circumstances exception to a non-U.S. corporation: (a) if more than half of the net written premiums for the applicable period are derived from insuring catastrophic risk, or (b) that provides certain other insurance coverage that the Group is not expected to engage in, and (ii) under the proposed 2021 Regulations, reduce a corporation's insurance liabilities by the amount of any reinsurance recoverable relating to such liability. The Group believes that, based on the implementation of its business plan and the application of the look-through rule and the exceptions set out under Section 1297 of the Code, none of the income and assets of FIBL should be treated as passive pursuant to the 10% Test, and thus FIHL should not be characterized as a PFIC under current law for the current taxable year or for foreseeable future years to the extent a shareholder makes an election to apply the 10% Test, but because of the legal uncertainties as well as factual uncertainties with respect to the Group's planned operations, there is a risk that FIHL will be characterized as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In addition, because of the legal uncertainties relating to how the 2021 Regulations will be interpreted and the form in which the proposed 2021 Regulations may be finalized, no assurance can be given that FIHL will not qualify as a PFIC under final IRS guidance or any future regulatory proposal or interpretation that may be subsequently introduced and promulgated. If FIHL is considered a PFIC, it could have material adverse tax consequences for an investor that is subject to U.S. federal income taxation. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors as to the effects of the PFIC rules.

As noted above, the 10% Test will only apply if a U.S. Holder makes a valid election. A U.S. Holder seeking to elect the application of the 10% Test to FIBL may do so if the Group provides the holder with, or otherwise makes publicly available, a statement or other disclosure that FIBL meet the requirements of the 10% Test (and contains certain other relevant information). The Group intends to either provide each U.S. investor with such a statement or otherwise make such a statement publicly available. A U.S. Holder may generally make an election to apply the 10% Test by completing a Form 8621 and attaching it to its original or, if a reasonable cause exception is met, amended U.S. federal income tax return for the taxable year to which the election relates. Investors owning a de minimis amount of FIHL stock may be deemed to have made the election automatically. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding electing to apply the 10% Test to FIBL.

------

U.S. Holders are also urged to consult with their tax advisors and to consider making a "protective" QEF election with respect to FIHL and each of FIHL's non-U.S. subsidiaries to preserve the possibility of making a retroactive QEF election. If the Group determines that FIHL is a PFIC, the Group intends to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the information necessary to make a QEF election for FIHL and each non-U.S. subsidiary of FIHL that is a PFIC. A U.S. Person that makes a QEF election with respect to a PFIC is currently taxable on its pro rata share of the ordinary earnings and net capital gain of such company during the years it is a PFIC (at ordinary income and capital gain rates, respectively), regardless of whether or not distributions were received. In addition, any of the PFIC's losses for a taxable year will not be available to U.S. Persons and may not be carried back or forward in computing the PFIC's ordinary earnings and net capital gain in other taxable years. U.S. Holders are also urged to consult with their tax advisors regarding the availability and consequences of making a mark-to-market election with respect to FIHL, although there can be no assurance that such election will be available, and such election likely would not be available for any subsidiary of FIHL also treated as a PFIC. In general, if a U.S. Holder were to make a timely and effective mark-to-market election, such holder would include as ordinary income each year the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the holder's common shares at the end of the taxable year over its adjusted basis in the common shares. Any gain recognized by such holder on the sale or other disposition of the common shares would be ordinary income, and any loss would be an ordinary loss to the extent of the net amount of previously included income as a result of the mark-to-market election and, thereafter, a capital loss. U.S. Holders considering a mark-to-market election for FIHL should consult with their tax advisors regarding making a QEF election for any non-U.S. subsidiary of FIHL treated as a PFIC.

***U.S. Holders of 10% or more of FIHL's common shares may be subject to U.S. income taxation under the CFC rules.***

Each 10% U.S. Shareholder (as defined below) of a non-U.S. corporation that is a CFC during a taxable year and that owns shares in the CFC, directly or indirectly through certain entities, generally must include in its gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes its pro rata share of the CFC's "subpart F income" and "tested income", even if the subpart F income or tested income is not distributed. A non-U.S. corporation is considered a CFC if 10% U.S. Shareholders own (directly, indirectly through non-U.S. entities or by attribution by application of the constructive ownership rules of Section 958(b) of the Code (i.e., "constructively")) more than 50% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of such non-U.S. corporation, or more than 50% of the total value of all stock of such corporation. For purposes of taking into account insurance income, which is a category of subpart F income, a CFC also includes a non-U.S. corporation that earns insurance income in which more than 25% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock or more than 25% of the total value of all stock is owned by 10% U.S. Shareholders on any day of the taxable year of such corporation, if the gross amount of premiums or other consideration for the reinsurance or the issuing of insurance or annuity contracts exceeds 75% of the gross amount of all premiums or other consideration in respect of all risks. A "10% U.S. Shareholder" is a U.S. Person who owns (directly, indirectly through non-U.S. entities or constructively) at least 10% of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the non-U.S. corporation.

FIHL believes that, because of the dispersion of ownership of FIHL's common shares, no U.S. Holder of FIHL should be treated as owning (directly, indirectly through non-U.S. entities or constructively) 10% or more of the total voting power or value of FIHL. However, because FIHL's common shares may not be as widely dispersed as FIHL believes and the application of certain ownership attribution rules depends upon facts that FIHL may not have, no assurance may be given that a U.S. Person who owns directly, indirectly or constructively, FIHL's common shares will not be characterized as a 10% U.S. Shareholder, in which case such U.S. Person may be subject to taxation under the CFC rules.

***U.S. Persons who own or are treated as owning common shares may be subject to U.S. income taxation at ordinary income rates on their proportionate share of the Group's RPII.***

If a non-U.S. subsidiary of FIHL is 25% or more owned (by vote or value) directly, indirectly through non-U.S. entities or constructively by U.S. Persons that hold shares of FIHL directly or indirectly through certain entities in a taxable year, then, unless either (i) the related person insurance income ("RPII") determined on a gross basis, of the non-U.S. subsidiary is less than 20% of the non-U.S. subsidiary's gross insurance income for the taxable year (the "20% Gross Income Exception") or (ii) the non-U.S. subsidiary's direct or indirect insureds (and persons related to those insureds) own directly or indirectly through entities less than 20% of the voting power and value of the non-U.S. subsidiary (the "20% Ownership Exception"), a U.S. Person who owns any shares of the non-U.S. subsidiary (directly or indirectly through certain entities, including by holding common shares) would be required to include in its income for U.S. federal income tax purposes such person's pro rata share of the non-U.S. subsidiary's RPII for the entire taxable year, determined as if stock owned directly or indirectly by U.S. Persons on the last day of the non-U.S. subsidiary's taxable year were the only stock in the U.S. subsidiary, regardless of whether such income is distributed, in which case the U.S. Person's investment could be materially adversely affected. Generally, RPII is any "insurance income" (generally, premium and related investment income) attributable to policies of insurance or reinsurance with respect to which the person (directly or indirectly) insured is a "RPII shareholder" (as defined below) or a related person to such a RPII shareholder. The amount of RPII earned by the non-U.S. subsidiary will depend on a number of factors, including the identity of persons directly or indirectly insured or reinsured by the non-U.S. subsidiary. FIHL believes that the direct or indirect insureds (and their related persons), whether or not U.S. Persons, of its non-U.S. subsidiaries that do not reinsure affiliates should not, currently or in the foreseeable future, directly or indirectly own 20% or more of either the voting power or value of the shares of FIHL or other non-U.S. subsidiaries. Additionally, FIHL does not expect the gross RPII of any non-U.S. subsidiary to equal or exceed 20% of its gross insurance income in any taxable year for the foreseeable

------

future. Accordingly, FIHL believes that one or both of the 20% Ownership Exception or the 20% Gross Income Exception should apply to each of its non-U.S. subsidiaries for the foreseeable future. However, FIHL cannot be certain that this will be the case because some of the factors which determine the extent of RPII and ownership of FIHL's stock may be beyond the Group's control or knowledge. Further, proposed regulations could, if finalized in their current form, substantially expand the definition of RPII to include insurance income of FIHL's non-U.S. subsidiaries with respect to certain affiliate reinsurance transactions. If these proposed regulations are finalized in their current form, it could limit the Group's ability to execute affiliate reinsurance transactions that would otherwise be undertaken for non-tax business reasons in the future and could increase the risk that the 20% Gross Income Exception would not be met for one or more of FIHL's non-U.S. subsidiaries in a particular taxable year, which could result in such RPII being taxable to U.S. Persons that own or are treated as owning common shares. Prospective investors are urged to consult their tax advisors with respect to these rules.

***U.S. tax-exempt organizations that own common shares may recognize unrelated business taxable income.***

Tax-exempt entities will be required to treat certain subpart F insurance income, including RPII, that is includable in income by the tax-exempt entity as unrelated business taxable income. Prospective investors that are tax-exempt entities are urged to consult their tax advisors as to the potential impact of the unrelated business taxable income provisions of the Code.

***U.S. Holders who dispose of shares may be subject to U.S. federal income taxation at the rates applicable to dividends on a portion of any gain realized on such disposition.***

Subject to the discussion above relating to the potential application of PFIC rules, Code 1248 may apply to a disposition of common shares. Code section 1248 provides that if a U.S. Person sells or exchanges stock in a non-U.S. corporation and such person owned, directly, indirectly through certain non-U.S. entities or constructively, 10% or more of the voting power of the corporation at any time during the five-year period ending on the date of disposition when the corporation was a CFC, any gain from the sale or exchange of the shares will be treated as a dividend to the extent of the CFC's earnings and profits (determined under U.S. federal income tax principles) during the period that the shareholder held the shares and while the corporation was a CFC (with certain adjustments). FIHL believes that because of the dispersion of ownership of FIHL's common shares and provisions in its organizational documents that are intended to limit voting power in certain circumstances, no U.S. Holder of the common shares should be treated as owning (directly, indirectly through non-U.S. entities or constructively) 10% or more of the total voting power of FIHL; to the extent this is the case, the application of Code section 1248 under the regular CFC rules should not apply to dispositions of the common shares. However, because the common shares may not be as widely dispersed as FIHL believes, the application of certain ownership attribution rules depends upon facts that FIHL may not have, and the provisions in FIHL's organizational documents described above have not been tested, no assurance may be given that a U.S. Holder will not be characterized as owning, directly, indirectly through non-U.S. entities or constructively, 10% or more of the voting power of FIHL, in which case such U.S. Holder may be subject to the Code section 1248 rules.

Additionally, Code section 1248, in conjunction with the RPII rules, also applies to the sale or exchange of shares in a non-U.S. corporation if the non-U.S. corporation would be treated as a CFC for RPII purposes regardless of whether the shareholder owns, directly, indirectly through non-U.S. entities or constructively, 10% or more of the voting power of such non-U.S. corporation or the 20% Gross Income Exception or 20% Ownership Exception applies. Existing proposed regulations do not address whether Code section 1248 would apply if a non-U.S. corporation that does not engage in the insurance business has a subsidiary that would be treated as a CFC for RPII purposes. FIHL believes, however, that this application of Code section 1248 under the RPII rules should not apply to dispositions of common shares because FIHL will not be directly engaged in the insurance business. FIHL cannot be certain, however, that the IRS will not interpret the RPII provisions in a contrary manner or that the Treasury Department will not issue regulations providing that these rules will apply to dispositions of common shares. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the effects of these rules on a disposition of common shares.

**Risks Relating to Taxation-International Tax Risks**

***Changes in tax legislation could materially affect the Group's business, prospectus, financial condition or results of operations or ability to provide returns to shareholders.***

There may be changes in tax laws, tax practices, tax rates, treaties and regulations in one or more jurisdictions in or through which the Group operates or invests, or interpretations of such tax laws, practices, treaties and regulations (in each case, potentially with retroactive effect) that are adverse to the Group. For example, there has been significant legislative policy change in recent years in the taxation objectives with respect to the income of multinational corporations as a result of policy debate and proposals in many countries and in the current Base Erosion and Profit Shifting ("BEPS") project of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD") – see below for further information on BEPS, Pillar One and Pillar Two.

***The financial results of the Group's operations may be affected by measures taken in response to the BEPS project.***

The OECD's BEPS project is an attempt to co-ordinate multilateral action on perceived weaknesses in international tax rules. In particular, the BEPS project seeks, amongst other things, to limit or restrict: (i) the effectiveness of structures which have the effect of

------

moving taxable profits from a high tax jurisdiction to a low tax jurisdiction; and/or (ii) access to the benefits of a bilateral tax treaty being obtained by a resident of a third party jurisdiction.

The OECD's BEPS recommendations proposed the introduction of rules which deal with, amongst other things, the restriction of interest and other deductions for tax purposes, the prevention of potential tax benefits from using hybrid instruments and hybrid entities, the reform of controlled foreign company rules, mandatory disclosure by intermediaries or taxpayers of information in respect of aggressive or abusive tax planning schemes, changes to the definition of permanent establishments and changes to the application of double tax treaties in order to restrict the ability to rely on the terms of relevant double tax treaties in certain circumstances. The implementation of the BEPS recommendations by individual OECD jurisdictions has resulted in (and may continue to result in) significant changes in the domestic law and double tax treaties of individual OECD jurisdictions.

Changes to domestic law and double tax treaties in order to implement the BEPS recommendations may affect the Group by increasing tax reporting and disclosure obligations and/or the level of taxation on returns to the Group's shareholders. For example, changes to the domestic law of relevant jurisdictions in order to implement the BEPS recommendations regarding anti-hybrid rules may lead to the denial of deductibility of interest payments made by the Group, thereby possibly increasing the tax liability at the level of these entities and affecting the overall profit of the Group.

The overall impact on the Group cannot yet be fully determined because, amongst other things, the domestic legislation implementing the recommendations in relevant jurisdictions remains relatively new and the interpretation thereof has not yet been fully tested.

***The financial results of the Group's operations may be affected by measures taken in response to the Pillar One and Pillar Two initiatives.***

In furtherance of the BEPS initiative, the OECD is continuing to work on a two-pillar initiative (commonly referred to as "BEPS 2.0") which is aimed at (i) the reallocation of taxing rights to the jurisdiction of the consumer ("Pillar One"), and (ii) a new global minimum corporate tax rate ("Pillar Two").

Under the Pillar One proposals, "multinational enterprises" ("MNEs") with an annual global turnover of (initially) at least EUR 20 billion would become subject to rules allocating 25% of profits in excess of a 10% profit margin to the jurisdictions where the consumers and users of those MNEs are located (subject to threshold rules). MNEs carrying on specific low-risk activities are excluded, including "regulated financial services" (yet to be defined). The Pillar One proposals are continuing to be negotiated, with the detail of the final Pillar One rules and implementation thereof remaining uncertain.

Pillar Two is aimed at ensuring that MNEs with annual global revenues of at least EUR 750 million are subject to a minimum effective tax rate of 15% in the jurisdictions in which they operate. Pillar Two proposes the introduction of three interlocking domestic rules: (i) the qualifying domestic minimum top-up tax, which imposes a top-up tax on an entity in an MNE group in the relevant implementing jurisdiction which has an effective tax rate below 15%, (ii) the income inclusion rule ("IIR"), which imposes a top-up tax on a parent entity of an MNE group in the relevant implementing jurisdiction in respect of the low-taxed income of other members of the MNE group and (iii) the undertaxed payment rule, which denies deductions of or requires an equivalent adjustment by an entity in an MNE group in the relevant implementing jurisdiction where the low-taxed income of another member of the MNE group in another jurisdiction is not taxed by an IIR. Additionally, a treaty-based subject to tax rule will permit source jurisdictions to impose limited withholding taxes on certain related party payments that are subject to tax below a minimum rate. Various foreign jurisdictions have already implemented or are in the process of implementing the Pillar Two rules by adopting them in their domestic legislation, with these rules beginning to come into effect in certain jurisdictions starting from 2024. Depending on whether and how the Pillar Two rules are implemented in jurisdictions relevant to the Group, effective tax rates payable by the Group could increase which could adversely affect the expected profits available to the Group's shareholders.

***The Group's reporting obligations could be materially affected by tax information disclosure requirements.***

The Group may be subject to a variety of tax reporting regimes depending on the jurisdiction(s) in which the Group operates. For example, FIID will be subject to the EU's Sixth Directive on Administrative Cooperation (commonly known as "DAC 6") and FIHL will be subject to the UK Mandatory Disclosure Rules, both of which provide for mandatory disclosure of relevant cross-border transactions and arrangements which satisfy certain hallmarks.

These tax reporting regimes may require the Group or persons associated with them to enter into discussions with and provide information to tax authorities which may involve disclosure of the structure of the Group and the identity and certain other information pertaining to the Group's shareholders. Each prospective shareholder should be aware that such discussions and disclosure may take place and that shareholders may be required to provide further information to the relevant Group entity in order to facilitate such discussions or information disclosure. Any such discussions may give rise to adverse tax or other consequences, and there is no guarantee that the outcome of any discussions with tax authorities will achieve their intended results.

------

***The EU's 'blacklist' of non-cooperative tax jurisdictions could adversely affect the Group.***

The EU maintains a list of jurisdictions which it considers to be "non-cooperative" for tax purposes (the "EU Tax List"). The EU Tax List includes those jurisdictions which the Council of the European Union (the "Council") has identified as (i) not having engaged in a constructive dialogue with the EU in relation to tax governance, or (ii) having failed to deliver on their commitments to implement reforms to comply with the EU's criteria within a specified time period. The Council generally updates the EU Tax List twice a year, at which time jurisdictions may be removed from the EU Tax List if they are considered by the Council to have rectified the previously identified deficiencies, or added if new deficiencies are identified. There can be no guarantee that (i) certain jurisdictions which have been removed from the EU Tax List will not be reinstated or (ii) new jurisdictions will not be added to the EU Tax List.

If a jurisdiction considered relevant to the Group features on the EU Tax List, the immediate impact for the Group may be limited. The Group and persons associated therewith may be subject to some increased audit and monitoring risk in certain EU jurisdictions, and certain investors may be subject to increased constraints on their ability to invest through jurisdictions which appear on the EU Tax List. However, there are currently limited direct tax consequences under the current law of individual EU member states of a jurisdiction relevant to the Group featuring on the EU Tax List. Individual EU member states were encouraged to adopt various "defensive" tax measures on or before January 1, 2021. Such measures include the denial of tax deductions or additional withholding taxes on payments made to or through a jurisdiction which is included on the EU Tax List, additional "controlled foreign company" inclusions or denial of domestic participation exemptions for shareholders of companies which are established in such a jurisdiction. If a jurisdiction relevant to the Group is included on the EU Tax List at a time when such "defensive" tax measures have been introduced by relevant EU member states, the Group could ultimately suffer additional tax costs relating to its activities. For more detail on the application of the EU Tax List to the Group, please see below the "Risks Relating to Taxation-Bermuda Tax Risks".

**Risks Relating to Taxation—U.K. Tax Risks**

***Any change in FIHL's tax status or any change in U.K. tax laws could materially affect the Group's business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations or ability to provide returns to shareholders.***

FIHL is not incorporated in the U.K. but has filed returns for U.K. corporation tax on the basis that it is resident in the U.K. and has been since August 2015. FIHL and the U.K.-incorporated companies within the Group are subject to U.K. tax in respect of their worldwide income and gains (subject to any applicable exemptions), which represent a material portion of the Group's income and operations. The directors of FIHL intend to manage its affairs so that it remains resident in the U.K. for U.K. tax purposes. Any change in FIHL's tax status or any change in U.K. tax laws could materially affect the Group's business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations or ability to provide returns to shareholders.

***FIBL and FIID may be subject to U.K. tax, in which case its results of operations could be materially adversely affected.***

FIBL and FIID are not incorporated in the U.K. and, accordingly, should not be treated as being resident in the U.K. for corporation tax purposes unless its central management and control is exercised in the U.K. The concept of central management and control is defined in U.K. case law as being indicative of the highest level of control of a company, which is wholly a question of fact. The directors of FIBL and FIID each intend to manage its affairs so that it is not resident in the U.K. for U.K. tax purposes as a result of the central management and control of FIBL and FIID being outside of the U.K.

A company that is not resident in the U.K. for corporation tax purposes can nevertheless be subject to U.K. corporation tax if it carries on a trade through a permanent establishment in the U.K., but, in that situation, the charge to U.K. corporation tax is limited to profits (both revenue profits and capital gains) attributable directly or indirectly to such permanent establishment.

The directors of FIBL and FIID each intend to operate FIBL and FIID (as applicable) in such a manner that FIBL and FIID do not carry on a trade through a permanent establishment in the U.K. Nevertheless, because neither U.K. case law nor statute provide a clear definition as to the activities that constitute trading in the U.K. through a permanent establishment, His Majesty's Revenue and Customs ("HMRC") might contend successfully that FIBL and FIID are trading in the U.K. through a permanent establishment.

The U.K. has no comprehensive double taxation treaty with Bermuda. There are circumstances in which companies that are neither resident in the U.K. nor entitled to the protection afforded by a double tax treaty between the U.K. and the jurisdiction in which they are resident may be exposed U.K. tax on income, profits and gains (other than by deduction or withholding) with respect to a trade carried on in the U.K. even if that trade is not carried on through a permanent establishment. However, the directors of FIBL intend to operate FIBL in such a manner that FIBL will not fall within the charge to tax on income, profits and gains in the U.K. (other than by deduction or withholding).

If FIBL and/or FIID were treated as being resident in the U.K. for U.K. corporation tax purposes, or as carrying on a trade in the U.K., the results of the Group's operations could be materially adversely affected.

------

***Any adverse adjustment under the U.K. transfer pricing regime could adversely impact the Group's tax liability.***

All intra-group services provided to or by FIHL or any of the U.K.-incorporated companies, including in particular the reinsurance arrangements between FIBL and FUL, are subject to the U.K. transfer pricing regime.

Consequently, if the reinsurance pursuant to these agreements (or any other intra-group services) is found not to be on arm's-length terms and, as a result, a U.K. tax advantage is being obtained, an adjustment will be required to compute U.K. taxable profits for FUL, as if the reinsurance or provision of marketing services were on arm's-length terms.

Pursuant to rules in the U.K. targeting avoidance schemes involving the transfer of corporate profits, where any payment between group companies is, in substance, a payment of all or a significant part of the profits of the business of the payer company, and the main purpose or one of the main purposes is to secure a tax advantage for any person, the payer's profits are calculated for U.K. corporation tax purposes as if the profit transfer had not occurred. According to the Technical Note published by HMRC on March 19, 2014 (the "HMRC Technical Note"), where a company has entered into reinsurance arrangements within a group (for example quota share reinsurance) as part of ordinary commercial arrangements, this would not normally fall within the scope of this measure. This includes cases where the profitability of the ceding company is a factor taken into account in arriving at the premium to be paid.

Any transfer pricing adjustment, or the denial (in whole or in part) on any other basis, of a U.K. tax deduction for premiums paid pursuant to a reinsurance contract between companies in the Group, including as a result of any change to the HMRC Technical Note, could adversely impact the Group's U.K. corporation tax liability.

***Any charge under the U.K. diverted profits tax rules could adversely impact the Group's tax liability.***

The U.K. diverted profits tax ("DPT") is currently separate from U.K. corporation tax and is charged at a higher rate of 6% higher than the standard rate of corporate tax (therefore being 31%) (subject to certain limited exceptions). The DPT is (broadly) an anti-avoidance measure aimed at protecting the U.K. tax base against the artificial diversion of profits that are being earned by activities carried out in the U.K. but which are not otherwise being taxed in the U.K., in particular as a result of arrangements amongst companies in the same multinational group. The U.K.'s network of double tax treaties does not currently offer protection from a DPT charge. In the event that the rules apply, then upfront payment of HMRC's estimate of the deemed tax liability may be required. The application of the DPT to the Group could adversely impact the Group's U.K. corporation tax liability. Shareholders should note that the DPT regime is the subject of an ongoing reform proposal. HMRC's response to the June 19, 2023 consultation to reform U.K. law in relation to transfer pricing, permanent establishment, and DPT, published on January 16, 2024, proposed to remove DPT's status as a separate tax and bring in an equivalent charge to U.K. corporation tax. Broadly, that reform would be intended to clarify the relationship between DPT and transfer pricing and provide access to treaty benefits for DPT. Draft legislation was published on April 28, 2025 for the technical consultation phase, and is subject to change. Finance Bill No. 2 2024-26 contains legislation which replaces the DPT by bringing such transactions under the Unassessed Transfer Pricing Profits regime. This has not been enacted as at 31 December 2025.

***Any charge or adverse adjustment under the U.K. legislation governing the taxation of U.K. tax resident holding companies on the profits of their foreign subsidiaries could adversely impact the Group's tax liability.***

Under the U.K. controlled foreign company ("U.K. CFC") regime, the income profits of non-U.K. resident companies may in certain circumstances be attributed to controlling U.K.-resident shareholders for U.K. corporation tax purposes. The directors of each of FIHL's non-U.K. resident subsidiaries intend to operate those subsidiaries in such a manner that its profits are not taxed on FIHL under the U.K. CFC regime. Any change in the way in which each of the non-U.K. subsidiaries operate or any change in the U.K. CFC regime, resulting in an attribution of any of their income profits to FIHL for U.K. corporation tax purposes, could materially adversely affect the Group's financial condition.

***The U.K.'s multinational top-up tax ("MTT") or domestic top-up tax ("DTT") may adversely impact the Group's tax liability.***

In line with the OECD's Pillar Two framework (see "—Risks Relating to Taxation—International Tax Risks"), the U.K. introduced a MTT and DTT, pursuant to the Finance (No. 2) Act 2023 and Finance Act 2024, with application for accounting periods beginning on or after December 31, 2023. Broadly, if the Group meets the threshold for consolidated revenue, it may result in a charge under the MTT (or DTT, if applicable) to the extent that its effective tax rate is below fifteen percent. The rules relating to the MTT (and DTT) are broad in scope and FIHL is continuing to monitor the impact of these rules on its operations and results. FIHL is the responsible member of a qualifying multinational group for the purposes of the MTT and this has resulted in additional tax charged to the Group in the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2025.

**Risks Relating to Taxation—Irish Tax Risks**

***FIID may be treated as being resident for tax purposes in a jurisdiction other than Ireland, which could negatively impact the Group's results of operations.***

Under Irish tax law, a company which is incorporated in Ireland is automatically resident for tax purposes in Ireland. The one exception is that an Irish-incorporated company will not be resident for tax purposes in Ireland if it is treated as resident for tax purposes in another jurisdiction under the terms of a double tax treaty which has the force of law.

FIID is incorporated in Ireland. As a result, FIID is automatically resident for tax purposes in Ireland, unless it is treated as resident elsewhere under the terms of a double tax treaty. The directors of FIID carry on (and intend to continue to carry on) FIID's business in a manner which ensures that it is resident for tax purposes solely in Ireland. For example, a majority of FIID's directors are resident in Ireland and FIID's board meetings are convened in Ireland, with a majority of such directors in physical attendance. Nevertheless, there can be no guarantee that another jurisdiction will not assert that FIID is tax-resident in their jurisdiction. If FIID were treated as being resident for tax purposes in another jurisdiction, its profits may be subject to comprehensive taxation in that other jurisdiction and the results of the Group's operations could be materially adversely affected.

FIID's directors also carry on (and intend to continue to carry on) FIID's business in a manner which ensures that it does not have a permanent establishment in any jurisdiction and its profits are only subject to tax in Ireland as a result. It is possible that non-Irish agents or brokers distributing insurance underwritten by FIID could create permanent establishments outside of Ireland if they were not considered agents who are independent of FIID from a legal and economic perspective. The treatment of any agents as dependent agents may result in the creation of permanent establishments outside of Ireland to which FIID must allocate profits for tax purposes, resulting in such profits being subject to comprehensive taxation in that other jurisdiction and the results of the Group's operations being materially adversely affected.

***Any adverse adjustment under the Irish transfer pricing regimes could adversely impact the Group's tax liability.***

The reinsurance arrangements between FIBL and FIID are subject to the Irish transfer pricing regime and consequently, if the reinsurance pursuant to these agreements (or any other intra-group services) is found not to be on arm's-length terms and, as a result, an Irish tax advantage is being obtained, an adjustment will be required to compute Irish taxable profits for FIID as if the reinsurance or provision of marketing services were on arm's-length terms.

***Any adverse adjustment to Irish tax law or the Irish Revenue Commissioners' interpretation of the scope of an Irish value-added tax (VAT) group may give rise to additional irrecoverable Irish VAT cost, which could negatively impact the Group's results of operations.***

The VAT exemption applicable to insurance and reinsurance transactions, including related services performed by insurance brokers and insurance agents, has been the subject of a number of decisions of The Court of Justice of the European Union (the "CJEU") which may be interpreted as having clarified a narrower scope of such exemption as it applies to the supply of core insurance services, and related services by insurance brokers and insurance agents, including whereby prospective insurance clients are introduced to the insurer. In addition, the application of VAT exemption to insurance and reinsurance transactions is currently the subject of a review by the European Commission which may result in material amendments to the application of VAT to such services. Therefore, to the extent that FIID relies on such exemptions, in particular for the receipt or supply of such related or ancillary services, there is a risk that the application and scope of such exemptions may be amended and this could potentially give rise to material additional irrecoverable VAT costs in the structure. However, in circumstances where any entity in the structure is deemed to be carrying out activities which are subject to VAT (rather than exempt from VAT), such entity should be entitled to deduct any attributable input VAT.

In addition, at present FIID may rely upon the existence of an Irish VAT group to result in no Irish VAT arising on supplies received by FIID from establishments outside Ireland of other Irish VAT group members. The Irish Revenue Commissioners have recently confirmed a significant change to their prior interpretation that when an entity joins an Irish VAT group, the entire entity is deemed to be part of the Irish VAT group, which includes overseas establishments. Now it has been confirmed that, in line with recent decisions of the CJEU, overseas establishments cannot form part of an Irish VAT group and that such Irish VAT groups are limited in effect to supplies between establishments of VAT group members within Ireland. This change will take effect for VAT groups which were in existence prior to November 19, 2025 from January 1, 2027. It automatically applies to any VAT groups formed after November 19, 2025. Where FIID does rely upon an Irish VAT group which existed prior to November 19, 2025, services provided by overseas establishments of any members of FIID's Irish VAT group to other parties in the VAT group should now be considered in detail as they may give rise to additional irrecoverable Irish VAT costs in the structure where no VAT exemption applies to such services post January 1, 2027. It should also be noted that in a related change in practice, any Irish entity or Irish establishment of a foreign entity should be treated separately for VAT purposes from any other EU establishment of the same entity where such other EU establishment is a member of a VAT group in another EU Member State. Where this applies to FIID, it will similarly need to potentially consider the VAT treatment of any supplies made between those establishments (which historically would likely have been treated as not giving rise to a supply for Irish VAT purposes).

**Risks Relating to Taxation—Bermuda Tax Risks**

***FIHL and FIBL may become subject to taxes in Bermuda, which could negatively impact the Group's results of operations.***

In response to the OECD Pillar Two initiative, Bermuda enacted the Corporate Income Tax Act 2023 ("Bermuda CIT Act") which is fully effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2025. Entities subject to tax under the Bermuda CIT Act are the Bermuda Constituent Entities (as defined in the Bermuda CIT Act) of multi-national groups. A multi-national group is defined under the Bermuda CIT Act as a group with entities in more than one jurisdiction with consolidated revenues of at least €750 million for two of the four previous fiscal years. If Bermuda constituent entities of a multinational group are subject to tax under the Bermuda CIT Act, such tax is charged at a rate of 15% of the net income of such constituent entities (as determined in accordance with the Bermuda CIT Act, including after adjusting for any relevant foreign tax credits applicable to the Bermuda constituent entities).

In July 2024, the Bermuda Government passed the Corporate Income Tax Agency Act which, among other things, establishes the Bermuda Corporate Income Tax Agency (the "Agency"). The Agency is responsible for the administration of the Bermuda CIT Act and the collection of tax receipts. This responsibility includes without limitation administering the processes and procedures for the filing of tax returns and the calculation of taxes owed.

The Corporate Income Tax (Administrative) Regulations 2025, which came into force on June 2, 2025, provide further detail on how the Bermuda CIT Act is administered, including filing and registration requirements, payments of tax, and the inquiry and dispute processes.

FIHL and/or FIBL may be subject to tax under the Bermuda CIT Act to the extent such entities satisfy the definition of a Bermuda Constituent Entity under the Bermuda CIT Act. However, the full extent of the Bermuda CIT Act and its related legislation to FIHL and/or FIBL will depend on the practical application of the technical detail, which is still emerging. Accordingly, the impact on FIHL's and/or FIBL's economic performance in the future remains uncertain. It is also expected that any Bermuda constituent entity's liability for tax under the Bermuda CIT Act will apply notwithstanding the prior issue of any assurances by the Bermuda Minister of Finance.

Further, if the Bermuda corporate income tax is not treated as a "covered tax" in accordance with the OECD's model rules, or if the corporate income tax does not otherwise achieve a minimum effective tax rate of 15% (as calculated in accordance with the OECD's model rules), additional material top-up taxes may be payable by the Group's Irish and U.K. tax-resident companies in future.

***The OECD's review of harmful tax competition could adversely affect the Group's tax status in Bermuda and elsewhere.***

The OECD has published reports and launched a global dialogue among member and non-member countries on measures to limit harmful tax competition. These measures are largely directed at counteracting the effects of tax havens and preferential tax regimes around the world. Following a review of Bermuda's economic substance compliance, Bermuda was placed on the "grey list" by the OECD and the Council of the European Union between February and October 2022. The "grey list" is a list of jurisdictions that have made sufficient commitments to reform their tax practices but remain subject to close monitoring while they are executing their commitments. Bermuda had already addressed the recommendations in practice and had formalized these practices by April 2022, and was removed from the "grey list". However, the Group is not able to predict whether any changes will be made to this classification or whether any such changes will result in the imposition of additional taxes.

***The introduction of economic substance requirements in Bermuda required by the E.U. could adversely affect the Group.***

In December 2018 Bermuda enacted the Economic Substance Act 2018 (the "ES Act"). Pursuant to the ES Act, a registered entity other than an entity which is resident for tax purposes in certain jurisdictions outside Bermuda that carries on as a business any one or more of the "relevant activities" referred to in the ES Act, and from which it earns gross revenue, must comply with economic substance requirements by maintaining a substantial economic presence in Bermuda.

The ES Act requires in scope Bermuda entities which are engaged in such "relevant activities" to be directed and managed in Bermuda, have an adequate level of qualified employees in Bermuda, incur an adequate level of annual expenditure in Bermuda, maintain physical offices and premises in Bermuda or perform core income-generating activities in Bermuda.

The list of "relevant activities" includes carrying on any one or more of: banking, insurance, fund management, financing, leasing, headquarters, shipping, distribution and service center, intellectual property and holding entities. Any entity that must satisfy economic substance requirements but fails to do so could face automatic disclosure to competent authorities in the E.U. of the information filed by the entity with the Bermuda Registrar of Companies in connection with the economic substance requirements and may also face financial penalties, restriction or regulation of its business activities and/or may be struck off as a registered entity in Bermuda.

***Risks Relating to changes to Bermuda's beneficial ownership.***

Bermuda's Beneficial Ownership Act 2025 (the "Beneficial Ownership Act"), which consolidated Bermuda's beneficial ownership framework and transferred responsibility for the central register from the Bermuda Monetary Authority to the Registrar of Companies,

------

came into force in November 2025. The Beneficial Ownership Act requires Bermuda legal persons, including licensed insurers, to identify individuals who ultimately own or exercise control over them (including through ownership of 25% or more, ultimate effective control or control by other means) and to maintain and file prescribed beneficial ownership information with the Registrar of Companies, subject to confidentiality restrictions.

The Beneficial Ownership Act generally exempts a legal person whose shares are listed on the Bermuda Stock Exchange or an appointed stock exchange, and any subsidiary of such a listed legal person, from the obligation to maintain a beneficial ownership register. Listed entities, however, must still confirm their exempt status to the Registrar of Companies, file proof of the relevant listing, and notify the Registrar of Companies of any listing or delisting changes within 14 days. Failure to comply can result in action from the Registrar of Companies under the Registrar of Companies (Compliance Measures) Act 2017.

If the Company were to lose its listed status or if any non-listed Bermuda legal persons within its group become in scope then the Company and those entities could be required to establish and maintain a beneficial ownership register, verify beneficial owner information, and file minimum required information with the Registrar of Companies. Because supplementary regulations and guidance under the Beneficial Ownership Act are being refined and because consequential amendments span multiple statutes (including the Companies Act 1981), there is uncertainty regarding the scope, timing and enforcement of certain obligations.

**Risks Relating to the Common Shares** 

***The declaration of any dividends on our common shares will be determined at the sole discretion of the Board and FIHL's ability to pay dividends may be constrained by the Group's structure, limitations on the payment of dividends which Bermuda law and regulations impose on the Group and the terms of our indebtedness.***

The declaration, amount and payment of any dividends on our common shares will be determined at the sole discretion of the Board, which may take into account general and economic conditions, our financial condition and results of operations, our available cash and current and anticipated cash needs, capital requirements, contractual, legal, tax and regulatory restrictions and implications on the payment of dividends by us to our shareholders or by our subsidiaries to us, including restrictions under any of our then outstanding indebtedness, and such other factors as the Board may deem relevant. If we elect to pay dividends as part of our dividend policy or program, we may reduce or discontinue entirely the payment of such dividends at any time.

FIHL is a holding company and, as such, has no substantial operations of its own. FIHL does not expect to have any significant operations or assets other than ownership of the shares of operating subsidiaries. Dividends and other permitted distributions and loans from operating subsidiaries are expected to be the sole source of funds to meet ongoing cash requirements, including principal and interest payments on our debt and other expenses, the repurchase of common shares, and dividends to the holders of our common shares. The Group's operating subsidiaries are subject to significant regulatory restrictions limiting their ability to declare and pay dividends and make loans to other Group companies. FIHL's ability to pay dividends on common shares is also dependent on the availability of distributable reserves. The inability of operating subsidiaries to pay dividends in an amount sufficient to enable FIHL to meet its cash requirements at the holding company level could have a material adverse effect on the common shares. In addition, FIHL's ability to pay dividends is subject to the restrictive covenants of our existing and outstanding indebtedness and may be limited by covenants of any future indebtedness we incur.

FIBL may be prohibited from declaring or paying dividends if it is in breach of its enhanced capital requirement, solvency margin or minimum liquidity ratio or if the declaration or payment of such dividend would cause such a breach. Where an insurer fails to meet its solvency margin or minimum liquidity ratio on the last day of any financial year, it is prohibited from declaring or paying any dividends during the next financial year without the approval of the BMA in its absolute discretion. Further, FIBL may be prohibited from declaring or paying in any financial year any dividend of more than 25% of its total statutory capital and surplus, unless it files with the BMA an affidavit stating that it will continue to meet its solvency margin or minimum liquidity ratio. FIBL will be required to obtain the BMA's prior approval for a reduction by 15% or more of the total statutory capital as set forth in its previous year's financial statements.

In addition, the Bermuda Companies Act 1981 (the "Bermuda Companies Act") limits FIHL's ability to pay dividends to shareholders. Under Bermuda law, when a company issues shares, the aggregate paid in par value of the issued shares comprises the company's share capital account. When shares are issued at a premium the amount paid in excess of the par value must be allocated to and maintained in a capital account called the "share premium account." The Bermuda Companies Act requires shareholder approval prior to any reduction of the FIHL's share capital or share premium account.

Under Bermuda law, FIHL may not declare or pay dividends, or make a distribution out of contributed surplus, if there are reasonable grounds for believing that (i) it is, or would after the payment be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due; or (ii) the realizable value of its assets would thereby be less than its liabilities.

The PRA regulatory requirements impose no explicit restrictions on the Group's U.K. subsidiaries' ability to pay a dividend, but the Group would have to notify the PRA 28 days prior to any proposed dividend payment. Additionally, under the U.K. Companies Act 2006, dividends may only be distributed from profits available for distribution.

------

Similarly, under Irish company law, dividends may only be distributed from profits, available for distribution, which consist of accumulated realized profits less accumulated realized losses.

Any difficulty or FIHL's inability to receive dividends from its operating subsidiaries would have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.

***If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about the Group's business or if they downgrade the common shares, or if there is any fluctuation in the Group's ratings, the price of the common shares and trading volume could decline.***

The trading market for our common shares relies in part on the research and reports that industry or financial analysts publish about the Group and its business. The Group does not control these analysts. Furthermore, if one or more of the analysts who do cover the Group downgrade the common shares or the (re)insurance industry, or the stock of any of the Group's competitors, or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about the Group's business, the price of common shares could decline. If one or more of these analysts stop covering the Group or fail to publish reports on it regularly, we could lose visibility in the market, which in turn could cause the price or trading volume of the common shares to decline.

Additionally, any fluctuation in the Group's ratings may impact the Group's ability to access debt markets in the future or increase the cost of future debt, which could have a material adverse effect on the Group's operations and financial condition, which in return may adversely affect the trading price of the common shares.

***As a foreign private issuer, there is less required publicly available information concerning FIHL than there would be if it were a U.S. domestic public company.***

FIHL is a "foreign private issuer," as defined in the SEC's rules and regulations and, consequently, it is not subject to all of the disclosure requirements applicable to public companies organized within the U.S. For example, FIHL is exempt from certain rules under the Exchange Act that regulate disclosure obligations and procedural requirements related to the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations applicable to a security registered under the Exchange Act, including the U.S. proxy rules under Section 14 of the Exchange Act. In addition, FIHL's senior management and directors are exempt from the "short-swing" profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and related rules with respect to their purchases and sales of common shares or FIHL's other securities. Moreover, FIHL is not required to file quarterly reports on Form 10-Q containing unaudited financial and other specified information with the SEC. In addition, foreign private issuers are not required to file their annual report on Form 20-F until 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, while U.S. domestic issuers that are large accelerated filers are required to file their annual report on Form 10-K within 60 days after the end of each fiscal year. As a result of all of the above, you may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of a company that is not a foreign private issuer.

***FIHL may lose its foreign private issuer status which would then require it to comply with the Exchange Act's U.S. domestic company reporting regime and cause it to incur additional legal, accounting and other expenses.***

For so long as FIHL qualifies as a foreign private issuer, it is not required to comply with all of the periodic disclosure and current reporting requirements of the Exchange Act applicable to U.S. domestic issuers. In order to maintain its current status as a foreign private issuer, either (a) a majority of common shares must be either directly or indirectly owned of record by non-residents of the U.S. or (b)(i) a majority of FIHL's senior managers or directors cannot be U.S. citizens or residents, (ii) more than 50% of FIHL's assets must be located outside the U.S. and (iii) FIHL's business must be administered principally outside the U.S.

If FIHL loses its status as a foreign private issuer, it would be required to comply with the Exchange Act reporting and other requirements applicable to U.S. domestic issuers, which, as discussed above, are more detailed and extensive than the requirements for foreign private issuers. FIHL may also be required to make changes in its corporate governance practices in accordance with various SEC and NYSE rules. For example, the annual report on Form 10-K requires domestic issuers to disclose executive compensation information on an individual basis with specific disclosure regarding the domestic compensation philosophy, objectives, annual total compensation (base salary, bonus, and equity compensation) and potential payments in connection with change in control, retirement, death or disability, while the annual report on Form 20-F permits foreign private issuers to disclose compensation information on an aggregate basis. FIHL would also have to mandatorily comply with U.S. federal proxy requirements, and its officers, directors, and principal shareholders will become subject to the short-swing profit disclosure and recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

The regulatory and compliance costs to the Group under U.S. securities laws if FIHL were required to comply with the reporting requirements applicable to a U.S. domestic issuer may be higher than the cost the Group would incur if FIHL remains a foreign private issuer. As a result, we expect that a loss of foreign private issuer status would increase the Group's legal and financial compliance costs and is likely to make some activities highly time consuming and costly.

------

***FIHL is permitted to adopt certain home country practices in relation to its corporate governance, which may afford investors less protection.***

The NYSE's corporate governance rules require listed companies to comply with a number of corporate governance standards. As a foreign private issuer, FIHL is permitted, and it intends, to follow certain home country corporate governance practices that differ significantly from the NYSE corporate governance listing standards, provided FIHL discloses the requirements it is not following and describes the corporate governance practices of Bermuda that it is following. These practices may afford less protection to shareholders than they would enjoy if FIHL complied fully with NYSE's corporate governance listing standards.

For example, as long as FIHL relies on the foreign private issuer exemptions under NYSE rules, shareholder approval is not required for equity compensation plans or material amendments to such plans, nor for share issuances that would otherwise require approval for domestic issuers, such as (i) issuances exceeding 1% of FIHL's outstanding common shares (including derivative securities) in number or voting power in connection with equity compensation arrangements, or (ii) issuances of 20% or more of FIHL's outstanding common shares (including derivative securities) in number or voting power in other contexts, including capital-raising transactions, or for issuances that would result in a change of control. FIHL may in the future elect to follow home country practices with regard to other matters. As a result, FIHL's shareholders may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all NYSE corporate governance requirements. See also Item 16.G. Corporate Governance.

***If FIHL or its existing shareholders sell additional common shares or are perceived by the public markets as intending to sell additional common shares, the market price of the common shares could decline.***

The sale of substantial amounts of common shares in the public market by the Company in a primary offering or its existing shareholders in a secondary offering, or the perception that such sales could occur, could harm the prevailing market price of the common shares. All of our common shares outstanding as of the date of this report are freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), so long as they are held by persons other than our "affiliates," as that term is defined under Rule 144 of the Securities Act. Certain existing holders of our common shares, who are also our "affiliates" as that term is defined under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, have registration rights, pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined below), subject to some conditions, which requires us to file registration statements covering the sale of their shares or to include their shares in registration statements that we may file for ourselves or other shareholders in the future. In the event that we register the common shares for the holders of registration rights, they can be freely sold in the public market upon issuance. See Item 7.B. Related Party Transactions "Registration Rights Agreement".

***Certain securities of FIHL rank senior to the common shares.***

FIHL has previously issued certain securities that rank senior to the common shares. FIHL has in issue certain notes issued by FIHL. The notes rank senior to the common shares and have prior rights to interest payments, income and capital which may significantly affect FIHL's capital attributable to the common shares and the likelihood that the Board will declare dividends payable on common shares.

***The Group may require additional capital in the future, which may not be available to it on satisfactory terms, if at all. Furthermore, the Group's raising of additional capital could dilute the ownership interest of the holders of Common Shares and reduce the value of their investment. The Group may have to raise capital following significant insured losses, potentially resulting in capital being raised at valuations significantly below the original Common Share price.***

The Group will require liquidity from sources of cash flows from operating, financing or investing activities including, for example, to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• pay claims;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• fund its operating expenses;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• to the extent declared, pay dividends on its common shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• service its debt, including paying interest due;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• fund liquidity needs caused by investment losses;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• replace or improve capital in the event of a depletion of the Group's capital as a result of significant reinsurance losses or adverse reserve developments;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• satisfy unfunded obligations in the event that it cannot obtain recoveries from its outwards reinsurance and retrocessional protection;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• satisfy letters of credit or guarantee bond requirements that may be imposed by its clients or by its regulators;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• meet rating agency or regulatory capital requirements; and

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• respond to competitive pressures.

To the extent that the cash flow generated by the Group's ongoing operations or investments is insufficient or unavailable, whether due to regulatory or contractual restrictions, underwriting or investment losses or otherwise, to cover its liquidity requirements, the Group may need to raise additional funds through financing. If the Group cannot obtain adequate capital or sources of credit on favorable terms, or at all, its business, results of operations or financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

Financial markets have experienced extreme volatility and disruption due in part to financial stresses affecting the liquidity of the banking system and the financial markets generally. These circumstances have reduced access to the public and private equity and debt markets at such times. See Item 5.B. Liquidity and Capital Resources for a discussion of the Group's liquidity requirements.

***The Amended and Restated Bye-Laws contain provisions that could impede an attempt to replace or remove the Board or delay or prevent the sale of FIHL, which could diminish the value of the common shares or prevent holders of common shares from receiving premium prices for their common shares in an unsolicited takeover.***

FIHL's Amended and Restated Bye-Laws (the "Amended and Restated Bye-Laws"), contain certain provisions that could delay or prevent changes in the Board or a change of control that a shareholder might consider favorable. These provisions may encourage companies interested in acquiring FIHL to negotiate in advance with the Board, since the Board has the authority to overrule the operation of several of the limitations. Even in the absence of a takeover attempt, these provisions may adversely affect the value of the common shares if they are viewed as discouraging takeover attempts in the future. For example, provisions in the Amended and Restated Bye-Laws that could delay or prevent a change in the Board or management or change in control include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the authorized number of directors may be increased by resolution adopted by the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the Board;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• each of the Crestview Funds (as defined below, see Item 7.A. Major Shareholders), CVC Falcon Holdings Limited ("CVC") and Pine Brook Feal Intermediate L.P. ("Pine Brook") (each a "Founder" and together, the "Founders") and TFP HoldCo has the right to nominate one individual to serve as a director on the Board;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our Board is a classified board in which the directors of the class elected at each annual general meeting hold office for a term of three years, with the term of each class expiring at successive annual general meetings of shareholders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• shareholders holding 80% of the Total Voting Power (as defined in the Amended and Restated Bye-Laws) may, at any general meeting convened and held for such purpose, remove a director for certain specified causes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• shareholders may fill any vacancy on the Board at the meeting at which such director is removed. In the absence of such election or appointment, the Board may fill the vacancy. In the event the vacancy to be filled is for a director nominated by a Founder or TFP HoldCo, then the relevant Founder or TFP HoldCo shall have the right to nominate a person to fill such vacancy;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• advance notice of shareholders' proposals is required in connection with annual general meetings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a simple majority vote of shareholders together with the consent of the Founders and/or TFP HoldCo is required to effect certain amendments to the Amended and Restated Bye-Laws that would adversely affect their respective rights thereunder; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• subject to any resolution of our shareholders to the contrary, the Board is permitted to issue any of the authorized but unissued shares and to fix the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of any such shares without any further vote or action by the shareholders.

Any such provision could prevent the shareholders from receiving the benefit from any premium to the market price of the common shares offered by a bidder in a takeover context. Moreover, jurisdictions in which the Group's subsidiaries are domiciled have laws and regulations that require regulatory approval of a change in control of an insurer or an insurer's holding company. Where such laws apply to the Group, there can be no effective change in our control unless the person seeking to acquire control has filed a statement with the regulators and has obtained prior approval for the proposed change from such regulators. The usual measure for a presumptive change in control pursuant to these laws is the acquisition of 10% or more of the voting power of the insurance company or its parent, although this presumption is rebuttable in some jurisdictions. Consequently, a person may not acquire 10% or more of the common shares without the prior approval of insurance regulators in the jurisdiction in which our subsidiaries are domiciled.

***The share voting limitation that is contained in the Amended and Restated Bye-Laws may result in a holder of the common shares having fewer or greater voting rights than such holder would otherwise have been entitled based upon its economic interest in FIHL.***

The Amended and Restated Bye-Laws generally provide that any person owning (directly, indirectly or constructively) 9.9% or more of all the issued and outstanding common shares will be limited to voting that number of common shares equal to less than 9.9% of the total combined voting power of all issued and outstanding common shares entitled to vote. Because of the constructive ownership

------

provisions of the Code, this requirement may have the effect of reducing the voting rights of an investor whether or not that investor, directly, indirectly or constructively, holds of record 9.9% or more of the common shares. As a result of any such voting rights reduction of any shareholder, as a practical matter, other shareholders would have greater voting rights relative to their economic interest. Accordingly, investors should be aware of their obligations to report the acquisition of control in the Group at particular thresholds.

Further, the Board has the authority to request certain information from any investor for the purpose of determining whether that investor's voting rights are to be reduced. Failure by an investor to respond to such a notice, or submitting incomplete or inaccurate information, would give the Board discretion to disregard all votes attached to such investor's common shares.

***The Amended and Restated Common Shareholders Agreement confers certain consent rights on TFP HoldCo, which will allow it to exercise a certain amount of control over FIHL and limit other shareholders' ability to influence the outcome of matters submitted to a shareholder vote.***

TFP HoldCo owns approximately 9.9% holder of our common shares. Under the terms of the Amended and Restated Common Shareholders Agreement dated as of June 16, 2023 (the "Amended and Restated Common Shareholders Agreement"), for so long as TFP HoldCo holds at least 4.9% of our common shares and the Framework Agreement is in effect, the consent of TFP HoldCo is required to undertake a number of key corporate actions requiring shareholder approval, thereby having the ability to exercise substantial control over such actions, irrespective of how FIHL's other shareholders may vote. Additionally, in relation to any proposed issuance of further common shares, TFP HoldCo has the benefit of a right to elect to purchase up to its pro rata portion of the common shares at the same price as other subscribers and within a specific period, in accordance with the terms of the Amended and Restated Common Shareholders Agreement (the "Allocation Right"). In addition, pursuant to certain agreements entered into by and between FIHL and TFP HoldCo, TFP HoldCo has the right to sell a pro rata portion of its common shares of FIHL in connection with either an open market share repurchase by the Group or a share repurchase made by the Group in a privately negotiated transaction with one or more shareholders to ensure its beneficial ownership of FIHL's outstanding common shares does not exceed 9.9% of the total number of FIHL shares outstanding, after giving effect to such share repurchase transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, if TFP HoldCo sells any of its common shares, other than in connection with any stock conversions, buybacks, repurchases, redemptions, or other changes resulting from any stock split, combination or similar recapitalization, or its ownership of FIHL's common shares otherwise falls below 4.9% as a consequence of a dilutive action taken by FIHL, TFP HoldCo will no longer be entitled to exercise its consent rights or the Allocation Right. In addition, TFP HoldCo has a Board nomination right that may enable it to exercise a level of control through a director over corporate actions.

TFP HoldCo's consent rights may also adversely affect the trading price of the common shares to the extent investors perceive disadvantages in owning shares of a company with a shareholder with an ability to exercise a degree of control and influence over such company. For example, TFP HoldCo's rights may delay, defer, or prevent a change in control of FIHL or impede a merger, takeover or other business combination which may otherwise be favorable for the Group.

***The enforcement of civil liabilities against the Group may be difficult.***

FIHL is a Bermuda company and some of its directors and officers are residents of various jurisdictions outside the U.S. All or a substantial portion of the Group's assets and the assets of those persons may be located outside the U.S. As a result, it may be difficult for a shareholder to effect service of process within the U.S. upon those persons or to enforce in U.S. courts judgments obtained against those persons.

Puglisi & Associates is our agent for service of process with respect to actions based on offers and sales of securities made in the U.S. The Group has been advised by Carey Olsen Bermuda that, as of the date of this report, the U.S. and Bermuda do not have a treaty providing for reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments of U.S. courts in civil and commercial matters and that a final judgment for the payment of money rendered by a court in the U.S. based on civil liability, whether or not predicated solely upon the U.S. federal securities laws, would, therefore, not be automatically enforceable in Bermuda. The Group has been advised by Carey Olsen Bermuda that a final and conclusive judgment obtained in a court in the U.S. under which a sum of money is payable as compensatory damages (i.e., not being a sum claimed by a revenue authority for taxes or other charges of a similar nature by a governmental authority, or in respect of a fine or penalty or multiple or punitive damages) may be the subject of an action on a debt in the Supreme Court of Bermuda under the common law doctrine of obligation.

Such an action should be successful upon proof that the sum of money is due and payable and without having to prove the facts supporting the underlying judgment, as long as: (i) the court which gave the judgment had proper jurisdiction over the parties to such judgment; (ii) such court did not contravene the rules of natural justice of Bermuda; (iii) such judgment was not obtained by fraud; (iv) the enforcement of the judgment would not be contrary to the public policy of Bermuda; and (v) there is due compliance with the correct procedures under Bermuda law.

A Bermuda court may impose civil liability on FIHL or its directors or officers in a suit brought in the Supreme Court of Bermuda against it or such persons with respect to a violation of U.S. federal securities laws, provided that the facts surrounding such violation would constitute or give rise to a cause of action under Bermuda law.

------

***Members of the Board will be permitted to participate in decisions in which they have interests that are different from those of the other shareholders.***

Under Bermuda law, directors are not required to recuse themselves from voting on matters in which they have an interest. The directors may have interests that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of the shareholders. Provided that the directors disclose their interests in a matter under consideration by the Board in accordance with Bermuda law and the Amended and Restated Bye-Laws, they will be entitled to participate in the deliberation on and vote in respect of that matter.

**Item 4. Information on the Company**

**A. History and Development of the Company**

*General Company Information*

Fidelis Insurance Group is a global specialty insurer headquartered in Bermuda, with offices in Ireland and the United Kingdom.

The Group is comprised of a holding company, Fidelis Insurance Holdings Limited ("FIHL"), a Bermuda exempted company, incorporated under the Bermuda Companies Act on August 22, 2014, and its three principal operating subsidiaries: Fidelis Insurance Bermuda Limited ("FIBL"), Fidelis Underwriting Limited ("FUL") and Fidelis Insurance Ireland DAC ("FIID"). The Group also has its own service company, FIHL (UK) Services Limited, with a branch in Ireland, and a Lloyd's corporate member, Nameco (No 1404) Limited (the "Fidelis IG Corporate Member"), established on May 22, 2024 as a wholly owned subsidiary of FIBL, to facilitate its participation in Lloyd's Syndicate 3123's underwriting activity.

The Group was formed under the principles of focused, process-driven and disciplined underwriting and risk selection, strong client and broker relationships and nimble capital deployment. The Group, originally founded as "Fidelis," completed its initial funding and began underwriting business in June 2015 under the direction of an innovative and experienced management team.

On January 3, 2023, Fidelis was reorganized pursuant to the Separation Transactions to create two distinct holding companies and businesses: Fidelis Insurance Group and TFP. TFP is a separate, privately held company, which manages certain origination and underwriting activities on behalf of Fidelis Insurance Group. This innovative structure was put in place to enable Fidelis Insurance Group to expand its focus on capital management and portfolio optimization, while continuing to access the underwriting expertise of TFP. Under this structure, we believe we are well positioned to generate attractive returns, deploy capital toward profitable underwriting opportunities, and grow our business, to deliver strong returns to our shareholders. See Item 7.B. Related Party Transactions for further information relating to the contractual matrix forming this structure.

In July 2023, FIHL became a publicly traded company on the NYSE. FIHL's reports filed with or furnished to the SEC are available, free of charge, on its investor relations website at www.fidelisinsurance.com as soon as reasonably practicable after it electronically file such material with, or furnishes it to, the SEC.

FIHL uses its investor relations website as a means of disclosing material information. Accordingly, investors should monitor the investor relations website, in addition to following FIHL's press releases, SEC filings, and public conference calls and webcasts.

FIHL is registered with the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda under registration number 49414. FIHL's registered office is located at Clarendon House, 2 Church Street, Hamilton HM 11, Bermuda (c/o Conyers Corporate Services (Bermuda) Limited) (telephone number: +1 441 279 2500).

**B. Business Overview**

Fidelis Insurance Group is a strategic capital allocator and risk selector in specialty insurance and reinsurance, focused on identifying the most compelling opportunities in the market to allocate capital and the best-in-class partners to execute the Group's underwriting strategy in those areas. We are led by our Group Chief Executive Officer, Daniel Burrows, who has more than 35 years of experience in the insurance industry, and is supported by a highly experienced management team.

Our business comprises two segments: Insurance and Reinsurance, with a diversified portfolio spanning 10 lines of business. This breadth allows us to provide solutions for customers across a broad range of industries, manage different types of risk, and operate effectively across geographic regions. Our disciplined underwriting and active capital management enable us to respond dynamically

------

to market cycles and pursue opportunities that we believe offer an attractive balance of risk and return. This strategic flexibility supports sustainable and profitable growth, and underpins our ability to create long term value for both clients and shareholders.

Through this operating model, we are well positioned to make nimble, disciplined and efficient decisions enabling us to respond quickly to changing conditions and an evolving marketplace. The Group's strong capital position further enhances our flexibility to underwrite attractive opportunities and strategically deploy capital.

*Investments*

Our investment strategy is focused on delivering attractive investment income while targeting an above-average risk-adjusted total return through all market cycles while maintaining appropriate portfolio liquidity and credit quality to meet the requirements of our clients, rating agencies and regulators, and to support our underwriting activities.

At December 31, 2025, our investments consisted primarily of a diversified portfolio of high-quality fixed maturity securities (including U.S. Treasuries, non-U.S. government bonds, government agency bonds, corporate bonds, investment-grade emerging market debt, mortgage and other asset-backed securities) together with small allocations to sub-investment grade fixed maturity securities. The assets in our fixed maturity portfolio are managed primarily by external investment managers through individual investment management agreements. Our investments also include a strategic allocation to "other investments" which are comprised of fixed income funds, hedge funds and private credit investments. We monitor the activity and performance of our fixed maturity portfolio and our other investments regularly.

**Business Segments**

We classify our business into two segments: Insurance and Reinsurance.

The Insurance segment comprises a portfolio of Property, Marine, Asset Backed Finance & Portfolio Credit, Energy, Cyber, Aviation & Aerospace, Political Risk, Violence & Terror, and Other Insurance risks.

The Reinsurance segment is primarily a property catastrophe book, with a smaller proportion of Retro & Whole Account business.

***Insurance***

The Insurance segment comprises a portfolio of specialty risks. In addition to major specialty lines of business, this segment includes highly tailored products, where the buying motivation is often driven by regulatory capital relief, capital efficiency or transaction facilitation. The Insurance segment benefits from a broad suite of reinsurance protections including quota share, aggregate, stop loss and excess of loss cover, which help to reduce volatility. Our Insurance segment facilitates diversification through multi-product offerings across property, traditional specialty lines and bespoke products. The following are the lines of business in our Insurance segment:

------

*Property:* provides cover for all risks of direct physical loss or damage, business interruption and natural catastrophe perils. The portfolio covers a wide range of occupancies from real estate portfolios, municipalities, infrastructure, schools, commercial and manufacturing accounts and construction risks and supports a diversified range of clients. We write a mix of global, North American and individual international territory risks and write the entire lifecycle of property risks from planning, construction, operational, to decommissioning.

*Marine*: provides cover for a range of exposures on a global basis including marine hull and liability, marine cargo, construction and marine war.

*Asset Backed Finance & Portfolio Credit*: includes asset-backed finance/collateral protection, mortgage indemnity, structured credit, and surety. Drivers for specific risk transfer for these products are often different from traditional insurance procurement and include regulatory capital relief, capital efficiency and transaction facilitation.

*Energy*: provides cover for a range of exposures across the energy spectrum. This includes construction and operational renewable energy projects globally, operational downstream energy/power & utilities, and construction and operational upstream energy.

*Cyber*: products reimburse damages and financial losses arising from accidental or malicious incidents affecting a business's computer networks, software and data, both on a first and third party basis. We write a diverse mix of business from SME to large corporate, across a number of geographies, predominantly on a reinsurance basis.

*Aviation & Aerospace*: provides a range of cover for owners and financiers of aircraft including airlines hull, liability, liability war, hull war, contingent all-risk, as well as product liability for the world's leading manufacturers. We also cover pre-launch, transit and launch risk for satellite manufacturers and operators in our Aerospace book.

*Political Risk, Violence & Terror*: provides insurance products for clients such as banks, commodity traders, corporations and multilateral and export credit agencies through political risk and contract frustration/non-payment coverages and both damage and non-damage cover from perils including terrorism, civil unrest, strikes, riots, civil commotion and sabotage through political violence and terror covers.

*Other Insurance*: includes contingency providing coverage for event cancellation, non-appearance and other contingencies, title insurance, warranty insurance, alternative risk transfer and other specialty risks.

***Reinsurance***

Our Reinsurance segment consists of an actively managed global, property reinsurance portfolio, providing reinsurance and a limited amount of retrocession coverage on both a proportional and excess of loss basis. The portfolio is global, with a significant concentration in North America and also includes exposures in other regions around the world, particularly in Japan, Europe, and Australasia.

The Reinsurance segment benefits from a broad suite of reinsurance protections including quota share, aggregate, stop loss and excess of loss retrocessional cover, catastrophe bond cover and industry loss warranties, which helps to minimize the potential net losses in the business written. We believe our strategy of pursuing closely controlled aggregates and focusing on residential portfolios in the Reinsurance segment helps keep volatility lower than a typical catastrophe book.

**Outwards Reinsurance Purchasing**

We purchase reinsurance to cover the potential accumulation or aggregation of exposures and to cover specific business written when warranted. We may purchase reinsurance to manage our capital and the volatility of our underwriting results more effectively or otherwise to facilitate the exit of certain business. This may include, inter alia, increasing our protection from underwriting risks, increasing our overall ability to deploy significant line sizes, reducing and spreading the risk of loss on our insurance and reinsurance business and limiting our exposure to multiple claims arising from a single occurrence. The amount of reinsurance we desire to purchase and our reasons for purchasing reinsurance will vary over time. At December 31, 2025, we had reinsurance balances recoverable on reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses of $1,195.6 million (December 31, 2024: $1,255.6 million) and reinsurance balances recoverable on paid losses of $438.7 million (December 31, 2024: $278.4 million). The reinsurance we purchase can take the form of quota share, aggregate, stop loss and excess of loss programs, catastrophe bonds and industry loss warranties. We evaluate the financial condition of our reinsurers regularly and monitor concentrations of credit risk with reinsurers. In some cases, our strategic underwriting partners may be afforded discretion to purchase reinsurance for us from a non-rated source, subject to full collateralization of policy limits ceded under such reinsurance (for example, through purchase of industry loss warranties) or to seek direct access to capital markets (for example, through catastrophe bonds). When we purchase reinsurance protection, we cede to reinsurers a portion of our risks and pay premiums based upon the transferred risk or perils of the subject, right or interest protected by the reinsurance. Although the reinsurer will be liable to us in respect of the business ceded, we retain the ultimate liability in the event the reinsurer is unable to meet its obligations at some later date. Pursuant to delegated authority, TFP may design and place certain outwards reinsurance on behalf of the Group in conjunction with its overall management of the relevant book of business. All such outwards reinsurance placed is subject to the Group's approval.

------

For further details, see Item 18 Financial Statements, Note 10 (Reinsurance and Retrocessional Reinsurance) to our audited consolidated financial statements.

**Underwriting Risk Management**

Key considerations within our underwriting risk management process include (i) adequacy of underlying rates for each class of business and territory based upon our in-house proprietary view of risk; (ii) the reputation of the proposed (re)insured; (iii) the geographic area in which the (re)insured does business, together with our catastrophe exposures and our aggregate exposures in that area; (iv) historical loss data for the (re)insured and, where available, for the industry as a whole in order to compare the historical loss experience to industry averages; (v) projections of future loss frequency and severity; and (vi) if relevant, the perceived financial strength of the (re)insured as well as certain ESG factors.

Where underwriting authority has been delegated, we agree underwriting frameworks with our strategic underwriting partners, including TFP, which include underwriting parameters to ensure decisions taken by our strategic underwriting partners are aligned with our strategic objectives. These frameworks set out collaborative business planning processes between us and the relevant strategic underwriting partner, which are subject to multiple levels of review.

In setting our underwriting and risk selection approach and strategy, we focus on the following four key principles, which are driven by our risk appetite and tolerances:

(1) **Discipline**. We leverage our strategic underwriting partners' disciplined and analytical underwriting approach. For example, in our outsourced relationship with TFP in particular, we benefit from the comprehensive framework of underwriting controls, which is focused on real time pre-quote peer review and portfolio management through the daily Underwriting and Marketing Conference Call (the "UMCC"). The UMCC involves practice leads and key members of senior management, including risk modeling, actuarial, legal, compliance, contract wordings and claims representatives. This provides live market insights and multiple perspectives to allow underwriters to quickly assess emerging opportunities, achieve strong underwriting performance and cross-sell our product range. We believe that the UMCC is a unique proposition and not something our peers benefit from.

(2) **Clients and Brokers**. We aim to deliver superior solutions for our clients and broker partners. By working together with our strategic underwriting partners, we are able to move quickly during the changing market cycles, which enables us to deliver products meeting our clients' demands. Our capital allocation business model is built on the balance of long-term relationships with quality clients and respect for the core broker distribution model. We encourage multi-tier engagement with brokers using consistent data points to measure performance and identify opportunities.

(3) **Innovation**. We recognize that in an ever-changing and competitive market, we must put a lot of emphasis on creativity in bringing new products to market. We intend to benefit from our strategic underwriting partners' abilities in development and innovation when creating new products and client-led solutions.

(4) **Risk and capital management**. In order to optimize our risk and return, we allow our strategic underwriting partners flexibility within their individual business plans, subject always to clearly defined risk appetites and tolerances with respect to the relevant business underwritten, thereby allocating capital to those classes that optimize our risk-adjusted return.

**Business Distribution**

Our business is produced principally through brokers and (re)insurance intermediaries. The brokerage distribution channel provides us with access to an efficient, global distribution system without the significant time and expense which would be otherwise incurred in creating wholly owned distribution networks. The brokers and reinsurance intermediaries typically act in the interest of insureds, ceding clients or insurers and are instrumental to our continued relationship with our clients.

The following table sets forth the Group's premiums written by source that individually contributed more than 10% of total GPW for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2025** | **2024** | **2023** |
| Aon plc | $896.3 | $572.4 | $465.3 |
| Marsh & McLennan Companies Inc | $754.8 | $880.6 | $644.2 |

---

No other broker or other (re)insurance intermediary individually accounted for more than 10% of GPW in respect of the fiscal years 2025, 2024 and 2023.

**Claims Management**

The Group employs a specialized team of claims professionals who are knowledgeable about the industries we serve and the lines of business we write. Our claims professionals aim to systematically review and address claims with fair and equitable solutions, and provide comprehensive responses, as required.

------

In cases where claims management activities are partially delegated to an outsourced service provider (including, for example, TFP), the Group retains an oversight function and ultimate approval authority in respect of all claims relating to large losses. In its oversight role, the Group ensures that the claims professionals employed by our outsourced service partners work closely with the Group's underwriting and claims team to achieve consistency and efficiencies across all lines of business.

When providing for claims management delegation, the Group also ensures our outsourced service providers employ a staff of experienced claims professionals who are obliged to operate within the parameters set forth in the relevant delegation frameworks, including a maximum monetary threshold. Claims that exceed the delegation threshold must be referred back to our in-house team of claims professionals for oversight and resolution within predefined timelines. Claims subject to coverage disputes and/or litigation are handled pursuant to separately agreed procedures.

The key responsibilities of claims management departments include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Processing, managing and resolving reported insurance or reinsurance claims efficiently and accurately to ensure the proper application of intended coverage and expense;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Making timely payments in the appropriate amount on those claims for which the Group is legally obligated to pay;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Selecting appropriate counsel and experts for claims, managing claims-related litigation and regulatory compliance;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Contributing to the underwriting process by collaborating with the underwriting teams and senior management in terms of the evolution of policy language and endorsements and providing claim-specific feedback and education; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Contributing to the analysis and reporting of financial data and forecasts by collaborating with the finance and actuarial functions relating to the drivers of actual claim reserve developments and potential for financial exposures on known claims.

**Competition**

The insurance and reinsurance industries are mature and highly competitive. Competition varies significantly on the basis of product and geography. Insurance and reinsurance companies compete on the basis of many factors, including premium charges, general reputation and perceived financial strength, the terms and conditions of the products offered, ratings assigned by independent rating agencies, speed of claims payments, reputation and experience in the particular risk to be underwritten, quality of service, the jurisdiction where the reinsurer or insurer is licensed or otherwise authorized, capacity and coverages offered and various other factors.

We compete with major U.S., U.K., Bermudian, European and other international insurers and reinsurers and underwriting syndicates from Lloyd's, some of which have longer operating histories, more capital and/or more favorable financial strength ratings than we do, as well as greater marketing, management and business resources. Our competitors also includes new companies that enter the insurance and reinsurance industries. In addition, we compete with capital markets participants that create alternative products, such as catastrophe bonds, that are intended to compete with traditional reinsurance products.

**Financial Strength Ratings**

Ratings by independent agencies are an important factor in establishing the relative financial and operational strength of (re)insurance companies and are important to our ability to market and sell our products and services. Rating agencies continually review the financial positions of (re)insurers, including us. Each of our insurance and reinsurance operating subsidiaries have been assigned the following financial strength ratings, as of the dates indicated:

---

|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **AM Best** <sup>(1)</sup> | **AM Best** <sup>(1)</sup> | **S&P** <sup>(2)</sup> | **S&P** <sup>(2)</sup> | **Moody's** <sup>(3)</sup> | **Moody's** <sup>(3)</sup> |

maintains a letter-scale rating system ranging from "Aaa" (Minimum Credit Risk) to "C" (In Default). These ratings are subject to periodic review and may be revised downward or revoked at the sole discretion of the respective rating agency.

**Regulatory Matters**

*The Group is subject to regulation and supervision in the jurisdictions in which it operates. In particular, the businesses of FIHL's three insurance operating subsidiaries, FIBL, FUL and FIID, are authorized by, and subject to insurance laws and regulations that are administered and enforced by, a number of different governmental and non-governmental self-regulatory authorities and associations in each of their respective jurisdictions and internationally.*

*The following is a summary of the core aspects of the regulatory environment of our insurance operating subsidiaries, primarily in their respective jurisdictions of Bermuda, Ireland and the U.K. FIBL and FUL also conduct their business pursuant to the applicable U.S. excess and surplus lines and certified reinsurer authorizations.*

*The following summary relates predominantly to the insurance regulatory regimes in Bermuda, Ireland and the U.K., insofar as they relate to the insurance operating subsidiaries as authorized insurers.*

**Bermuda Insurance Regulation**

*The following provides a more in-depth discussion of the applicable Bermuda regulation given FIHL and FIBL's incorporation in Bermuda and the BMA Group supervision*.

***Group Supervision***

The BMA may, in respect of an insurance group, determine whether it is appropriate for it to act as its group supervisor in which case it shall designate a specified insurer that is a member of the insurance group to be the designated insurer (the "Designated Insurer"). The BMA has determined that it is appropriate for it to act as group supervisor for the Group and, on March 17, 2016, designated FIBL as the Designated Insurer.

An insurance group is defined as a group of companies that conducts insurance business. The BMA may make a determination to act as group supervisor where it ascertains that (i) the group is headed by a "specified insurer" (that is to say, it is headed by either a Class 3A, Class 3B or Class 4 general business insurer or a Class C, Class D or Class E long-term insurer or another class of insurer designated by order of the BMA); or (ii) where the insurance group is not headed by a "specified insurer," where it is headed by a parent company which is incorporated in Bermuda or (iii) where the parent company of the group is not a Bermuda company, in circumstances where the BMA is satisfied that the insurance group is directed and managed from Bermuda or the insurer with the largest balance sheet total is a specified insurer.

As group supervisor, the BMA will perform a number of supervisory functions including (i) coordinating the gathering and dissemination of relevant or essential information for going concerns and emergency situations, including the dissemination of information which is of importance for the supervisory task of other competent authorities; (ii) carrying out supervisory reviews and assessments of the insurance group; (iii) carrying out assessments of the insurance group's compliance with the rules on solvency, risk concentration, intra-group transactions and good governance procedures; (iv) planning and coordinating through regular meetings held at least annually (or by other appropriate means) with other competent authorities, supervisory activities in respect of the insurance group, both as a going concern and in emergency situations; (v) coordinating enforcement actions that may need to be taken against the insurance group or any of its members; and (vi) planning and coordinating meetings of colleges of supervisors in order to facilitate the carrying out of the functions described above.

FIBL, as Designated Insurer, is required to notify the BMA if any member of the Regulatory Group intends to acquire or amalgamate with another firm and, except in certain limited cases, such acquisition or amalgamation may not be effected unless before the end of 30 days beginning with the date of service of that notice, either the BMA has notified the Designated Insurer in writing that it has no objection to such acquisition or amalgamation or that period has lapsed without the BMA having issued a notice of objection.

In addition, the Designated Insurer is required to notify the BMA if any member of the Regulatory Group effects certain material changes within the meaning of the Insurance Act within 30 days of such material change taking effect.

The following events constitute material changes that must be notified to the BMA: (i) engaging in unrelated business that is retail business, (ii) the acquisition of a controlling interest in an undertaking that is engaged in non-insurance business which offers services and products to persons who are not affiliates, (iii) outsourcing all or substantially all of the actuarial, risk management, compliance or internal audit functions, (iv) outsourcing all or a material part of underwriting activities, (v) the transfer other than by way of reinsurance of all or substantially all of a line of business, (vi) the expansion into a material new line of business, and (vii) the sale of an insurer.

In addition, the Designated Insurer is required to give written notice to the BMA of the fact that a person has become, or ceased to be, a controller or officer of the parent company of the Regulatory Group within 45 days of becoming aware of such fact.

------

As a result of the BMA's designation of FIBL as the Designated Insurer, the Group is required to maintain available statutory economic capital and surplus at a level equal to its Group Enhanced Capital Requirement, which is established by reference to the Group Bermuda Solvency and Capital Requirement model.

The Insurance Amendment (No. 2) Act 2025 became operative on 7 January 2026 and embeds certain measures of the Common Framework for the Supervision of Internationally Active Insurance Groups adopted by the International Association of Insurance Supervisors into the Bermuda Insurance Act, including risk-based insurance capital standards and the requirement for a recovery plan. Among the changes adopted is a new power enabling the BMA, in specified circumstances, to assess the effectiveness of group supervision of an insurance group and determine whether it is appropriate to cancel the designation and registration of the Designated Insurer and designate and register an insurance holding company as the 'designated insurance holding company' for the insurance group, to assume the role and responsibilities currently assigned to the Designated Insurer. Once an insurance holding company is so designated and registered, the provisions of the Insurance Act applicable to a Designated Insurer, including the BMA's power to issue directions, apply to that holding company, with any necessary modifications. If these measures were applied to us, the BMA could take actions that have a direct impact on FIHL and could result in increased compliance costs.

***General***

The Bermuda Insurance Act and related rules and regulations, provide that no person shall carry on insurance business in or from within Bermuda unless registered as an insurer under the Bermuda Insurance Act by the BMA.

FIBL, a wholly owned subsidiary of FIHL, is registered as a Class 4 insurer pursuant to the Bermuda Insurance Act. Certain significant aspects of the Bermuda insurance regulatory framework applicable to Class 4 insurers are set forth below.

***Annual Financial Statements***

As a Class 4 insurer, FIBL is required to prepare and submit, on an annual basis, audited financial statements which have been prepared under generally accepted accounting principles or international financial reporting standards ("GAAP financial statements") and audited statutory financial statements.

The Bermuda Insurance Act prescribes rules for the preparation and substance of statutory financial statements (which include, in statutory form, a balance sheet, an income statement, a statement of capital and surplus and notes thereto).

The insurer's annual GAAP financial statements and the statutory financial statements, and the auditor's reports thereon, are required to be filed with the BMA within four months from the end of the relevant financial year (unless specifically extended with the approval of the BMA). The statutory financial statements do not form a part of the public records maintained by the BMA, but the GAAP financial statements are available for public inspection.

***Annual Statutory Financial Return and Annual Capital and Solvency Return***

As a Class 4 insurer, FIBL is required to file with the BMA a statutory financial return no later than four months after its financial year end (unless specifically extended with the approval of the BMA).

The statutory financial return of a Class 4 insurer shall consist of (i) an insurer information sheet, (ii) an auditor's report, (iii) the statutory financial statements, and (iv) notes to the statutory financial statements.

In addition, each year the insurer is required to file with the BMA a capital and solvency return along with its annual statutory financial return. The prescribed form of capital and solvency return comprises the insurer's Bermuda Solvency Capital Requirement ("BSCR") model or an approved internal capital model in lieu thereof (more fully described below), together with such schedules as prescribed by the Insurance (Prudential Standards) (Class 4 and Class 3B Solvency Requirement) Rules 2008, as amended from time to time.

Neither the statutory financial return nor the capital and solvency return is available for public inspection.

***Minimum Liquidity Ratio***

The Bermuda Insurance Act provides a minimum liquidity ratio for general business insurers. A Class 4 insurer engaged in general business is required to maintain the value of its relevant assets at not less than 75% of the amount of its relevant liabilities.

***Minimum Solvency Margin and Enhanced Capital Requirements***

The Bermuda Insurance Act provides that the value of the statutory assets of an insurer must exceed the value of its statutory liabilities by an amount greater than its prescribed minimum solvency margin ("MSM").

The MSM that must be maintained by a Class 4 insurer with respect to its general business is the greater of (i) $100 million, or (ii) 50% of net premiums written (with a credit for reinsurance ceded not exceeding 25% of GPW) or (iii) 15% of net losses and loss

------

adjustment expenses provisions and other insurance reserves or (iv) 25% of the enhanced capital requirement ("ECR") as reported at the end of the relevant year.

Class 4 insurers are also required to maintain available statutory economic capital and surplus at a level equal to or in excess of their ECR. The ECR is the higher of the prescribed MSM or the required capital calculated by reference to the BSCR model.

The BSCR model is a risk-based capital model which provides a method for determining an insurer's capital requirements (statutory economic capital and surplus) by taking into account the risk characteristics of different aspects of the insurer's business. The BSCR formula establishes capital requirements for ten categories of risk: fixed maturity investment risk, equity investment risk, interest rate/liquidity risk, currency risk, concentration risk, premium risk, reserve risk, credit risk, catastrophe risk, and operational risk. For each category, the capital requirement is determined by applying factors to asset, premium, reserve, creditor, probable maximum loss and operation items, with higher factors applied to items with greater underlying risk and lower factors for less risky items.

The BMA has also set a target capital level for each Class 4 insurer equal to 120% of its ECR. This target capital level functions as an early warning mechanism for the BMA. If an insurer fails to maintain statutory capital at or above this level, it is likely to result in heightened regulatory scrutiny.

***Eligible Capital***

To enable the BMA to better assess the quality of the insurer's capital resources, a Class 4 insurer is required to disclose the makeup of its capital in accordance with the eligible capital rules. Under these rules, all of the insurer's capital instruments will be classified as either basic or ancillary capital which in turn will be classified into one of three tiers based on their "loss absorbency" characteristics. Highest-quality capital will be classified as Tier 1 Capital, and lesser-quality capital will be classified as either Tier 2 Capital or Tier 3 Capital. Under this regime, up to certain specified percentages of Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 Capital may be used to support the Class 4 insurer's MSM, ECR and target capital level.

The characteristics of the capital instruments that must be satisfied to qualify as Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 Capital are set out in the Insurance (Eligible Capital) Rules 2012, and amendments thereto. From January 1, 2026, Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 Capital may no longer include capital instruments that do not satisfy the requirement that the instrument is non-redeemable or settled only with the issuance of an instrument of equal or higher quality upon a breach, or if it would cause a breach, of the ECR.

Where the BMA has previously approved the use of certain instruments for capital purposes, the BMA's consent will need to be obtained if such instruments are to remain eligible for use in satisfying the MSM and the ECR.

***Code of Conduct***

The Insurance Code of Conduct (the "Insurance Code") prescribes the duties, standards, procedures, and sound business principles with which all insurers registered under the Bermuda Insurance Act must comply, including any activities which are delegated or outsourced. With respect to outsourcing, the Insurance Code provides that where the insurer outsources functions, the board of the insurer should ensure that there is oversight and clear accountability for all outsourced functions as if these functions were performed internally and subject to the insurer's own standards on governance and internal controls. The board of the insurer must also ensure that the service agreement includes terms on compliance with jurisdictional laws and regulations, cooperation with the BMA, and access to data and records in a timely fashion. Where a function is outsourced or proposed to be outsourced, the board must assess the impact on the insurer and should not outsource a function which may adversely affect the insurer's ability to operate in a prudent manner.

The BMA will assess an insurer's compliance with the Insurance Code in a proportional manner relative to the nature, scale and complexity of its business. Failure to comply with the requirements of the Insurance Code will be taken into account by the BMA in determining whether an insurer is conducting its business in a sound and prudent manner as prescribed by the Bermuda Insurance Act, may result in the BMA exercising its powers of intervention and investigation, and will be a factor in calculating the operational risk charge under the insurer's BSCR or approved internal model.

***Cyber Risk Code of Conduct***

The BMA has recognized that cyber incidents can cause significant financial losses and/or reputational impacts across the insurance industry and has implemented the Insurance Sector Operational Cyber Risk Management Code of Conduct (the "Cyber Risk Code") to ensure that those operating in the Bermuda insurance sector can mitigate such risks. The Cyber Risk Code prescribes the duties, requirements, standards, procedures and principles with which all insurers, insurance managers and insurance intermediaries (agents, brokers and insurance marketplace providers) registered under the Bermuda Insurance Act must comply. The Cyber Risk Code is designed to promote the stable and secure management of information technology systems of regulated entities and requires that all registrants implement their own technology risk programs, determine what their top risks are and develop an appropriate risk response. This requires all registrants to develop a cyber risk policy which is to be delivered pursuant to an operational cyber risk management program and appoint an appropriately qualified member of staff or outsourced resource to the role of Chief Information Security Officer. The role of the Chief Information Security Officer is to deliver the operational cyber risk management program.

------

***Reduction of Capital***

No Class 4 insurer may reduce its total statutory capital by 15% or more, as set out in its previous year's financial statements unless it has received the prior approval of the BMA. Total statutory capital consists of the insurer's paid-in share capital, its contributed surplus (sometimes called additional paid-in capital), and any other fixed capital designated by the BMA as statutory capital (such as letters of credit).

***Notification by Registered Person of Change of Controllers and Officers***

All registered insurers are required to give written notice to the BMA of the fact that a person has become, or ceased to be, a controller or officer of the registered insurer within 45 days of becoming aware of such fact. An officer in relation to a registered insurer means a director, chief executive or senior executive performing duties of underwriting, actuarial, risk management, compliance, internal audit, finance or investment matters.

***Recovery Planning***

Under the Bermuda Insurance Act, the BMA is empowered to make rules for recovery planning. The BMA may require a Class 4 insurer to prepare and maintain a formal recovery plan setting out, among other things, the various methods proposed to be utilized by the insurer to enable it to recover from severe stress scenarios. Any requirement to prepare a recovery plan will take into account the nature, scale, complexity and risk profile of the insurance business conducted by the insurer. A copy of the recovery plan must be filed with the BMA and updated at least once every three years or following a material change in the financial position, strategy, business or risk profile of the insurer.

***Notification of Material Changes***

All registered insurers are required to give notice to the BMA of their intention to effect a material change within the meaning of the Bermuda Insurance Act. For the purposes of the Bermuda Insurance Act, the following changes are material: (i) the transfer or acquisition of insurance business being part of a scheme falling under section 25 of the Bermuda Insurance Act or section 99 of the Companies Act, (ii) the amalgamation with or acquisition of another firm, (iii) engaging in unrelated business that is retail business, (iv) the acquisition of a controlling interest in an undertaking that is engaged in non-insurance business which offers services and products to persons who are not affiliates of the insurer, (v) outsourcing all or substantially all of the company's actuarial, risk management, compliance or internal audit functions, (vi) outsourcing all or a material part of an insurer's underwriting activity, (vii) the transfer, other than by way of reinsurance, of all or substantially all of a line of business, (viii) the expansion into a material new line of business, (ix) the sale of an insurer, and (x) outsourcing of an officer role.

No registered insurer shall take any steps to give effect to a material change unless it has first served notice on the BMA that it intends to effect such material change and before the end of 30 days, either the BMA has notified such company in writing that it has no objection to such change or that period has elapsed without the BMA having issued a notice of objection.

Before issuing a notice of objection, the BMA is required to serve upon the person concerned a preliminary written notice stating the BMA's intention to issue a formal notice of objection. Upon receipt of the preliminary written notice, the person served may, within 28 days, file written representations with the BMA which will be taken into account by the BMA in making its final determination.

The entry into a Delegated Underwriting Authority Agreement between FIBL and Shelf Opco Bermuda Limited, which was approved, constituted a material change. See Item 7.B. Related Party Transactions for further information.

***Restrictions on Dividends and Distributions***

A Class 4 insurer is prohibited from declaring or paying a dividend if it is in breach of its MSM, ECR or minimum liquidity ratio or if the declaration or payment of such dividend would cause such a breach. Where an insurer fails to meet its MSM or minimum liquidity ratio on the last day of any financial year, it will be prohibited from declaring or paying any dividends during the next financial year without the approval of the BMA.

In addition, a Class 4 insurer is prohibited from declaring or paying in any financial year dividends of more than 25% of its total statutory capital and surplus (as shown on its previous financial year's statutory balance sheet) unless it files (at least seven days before payment of such dividends) with the BMA an affidavit signed by at least two directors (one of whom must be a Bermuda resident director if any of the insurer's directors are resident in Bermuda) and the principal representative stating that it will continue to meet its solvency margin and minimum liquidity ratio. Where such an affidavit is filed, it shall be available for public inspection at the offices of the BMA.

As the Group is subject to Group Supervision by the BMA, FIHL is prohibited from declaring or paying a dividend if it is in breach of its Group Enhanced Capital Requirement or the declaration or payment of a dividend would cause such a breach.

------

***Bermuda Insurance Regulation of Intermediaries***

Shelf Opco Bermuda Limited is registered by the BMA as an insurance agent (within the meaning of the Bermuda Insurance Act). As such, it is subject to certain aspects of Bermuda's insurance regulatory framework (including the Insurance Brokers and Insurance Agents Code of Conduct). Under this framework, Shelf Opco Bermuda Limited is required to conduct its business in a sound and prudent manner and, in certain circumstances, is required to make notifications to the BMA (including, for example, where it has failed to comply with any condition imposed upon it by the BMA).

***Data Protection***

FIHL and FIBL must comply with Bermuda's Personal Information Protection Act 2016 ("PIPA"), which came into full force on January 1, 2025. PIPA applies to any organization (meaning any individual, entity or public authority) that uses personal information in Bermuda where that personal information is used by automated or other means which form, or are intended to form, part of a structured filing system. PIPA does not define privacy explicitly but rather defines "personal information" and sets out privacy rules for institutions to follow for the collection, use, disclosure, maintenance, retention, security and disposal of personal information in Bermuda. "Personal information" is broadly defined and means "any information about an identified or identifiable individual" (i.e., a natural person, whether they are explicitly identified e.g. by name or where their identity is identifiable from e.g. a piece of information, such as their social insurance number).

Under PIPA, the "use" of or "using" personal information means carrying out any operation on personal information, including collecting, obtaining, recording, holding, storing, organizing, adapting, altering, retrieving, transferring, consulting, disclosing, disseminating or otherwise making available, combining, blocking, erasing or destroying it. Pursuant to PIPA, personal information held by an organization must be adequate, relevant and not excessive in relation to the purposes for which it is used, and must be accurate and kept up to date to the extent necessary for its use. An organization must protect personal information that it holds with appropriate and proportional safeguards against risk, including loss; unauthorized access, destruction, use, modification or disclosure; or any other misuse. Personal information used by FIBL as an insurer in Bermuda would include (without limitation) information relating to policyholders, service providers, officers, employees, consultants or any other third party of the insurer.

In general, an organization must adopt suitable measures and policies to give effect to its obligations and to the rights of individuals set out in PIPA, and may only use an individual's personal information where one or more of the prescribed conditions for use is met. Organizations must designate a privacy officer, and must provide individuals with a clear and easily accessible statement about its personal information practices and policies, which must include: the fact that personal information is being used; the purposes for which personal information is or might be used; the identity and types of individuals or organizations to whom personal information might be disclosed; the identity and location of the organization, including information on how to contact it about its handling of personal information; the name of the privacy officer; and the choices and means the organization provides to an individual for limiting the use of, and for accessing, rectifying, blocking, erasing and destroying, their personal information.

Where an organization engages (by contract or otherwise) the services of a third party in connection with the use of personal information, including transfers to overseas third parties, the organization remains responsible at all times for ensuring compliance with PIPA.

Oversight and enforcement of PIPA is the responsibility of Bermuda's Privacy Commissioner. The Privacy Commissioner has certain investigatory, order making and enforcement powers, including issuing formal warnings, public admonishment or disclosure for prosecution for offenses under PIPA, including corporate offenses committed with the consent or connivance of corporate officers, which could result in a fine or imprisonment.

**United Kingdom Insurance Regulation**

***General***

The financial services industry in the U.K. is dual-regulated by the FCA and the PRA (collectively, the "U.K. Regulators"). The PRA authorizes "dual-regulated" firms such as insurers (e.g., FUL) and performs the prudential regulation and supervision in respect of these entities. The FCA authorizes and performs the prudential regulation and supervision for all "solo-regulated" firms such as insurance intermediaries and is the conduct regulator for all regulated firms in the U.K. The Fidelis IG Corporate Member is subject to regulation and directions from Lloyd's. For more information see "—Lloyd's Regulation" below.

The primary statutory objectives of the PRA in relation to its supervision of insurers are: (i) to promote their safety and soundness; and (ii) to contribute to the securing of an appropriate degree of protection for policyholders or those who may become policyholders. The PRA also has a secondary objective to facilitate effective competition in the markets for services provided by PRA-authorized firms. The FCA has a general objective to secure an appropriate degree of protection for consumers, along with the further general objectives to protect and enhance the integrity of the U.K. financial system and to promote effective competition for the benefit of consumers. Both regulators are also now subject to a new secondary objective to facilitate the international competitiveness of the U.K. economy

------

(in particular, its financial services sector) and its growth in the medium to long term, subject to aligning with relevant international standards.

The U.K. Regulators have extensive powers to intervene in the affairs of the insurance businesses and insurance mediation activities that they regulate and to monitor compliance with their objectives. Their enforcement tools include: amending (including by imposing restrictions on) or withdrawing a firm's authorization, prohibiting, restricting or suspending firms or individuals from carrying on or undertaking regulated activities, and publicly censuring and warning, fining or requiring compensation from firms and individuals who break their rules.

U.K.-authorized insurers and insurance intermediaries must comply with the PRA's requirements (as set out in the PRA Rulebook) and the FCA's requirements (as set out in the FCA Handbook), which include the PRA's Fundamental Rules and the FCA's Principles. In particular, under both Fundamental Rule 7 and Principle 11, firms must deal with the U.K. Regulators in an open and cooperative way, and must disclose to the U.K. Regulators anything of which they would reasonably expect notice. Such notifications may include where the firm has reason to believe that it has materially failed to comply with any requirement or if a senior manager is involved in any prohibited activity.

U.K.-authorized insurers and insurance intermediaries must also adhere to a wide range of U.K. insurance legislation. The most notable of such legislation is the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 ("FSMA 2000"), which includes the requirements for becoming authorized to conduct regulated insurance activities, regulated and prohibited activities of an insurance company and insurance intermediary, the approval process for the acquisition or disposal of control of insurance companies and insurance intermediaries, rules on financial promotions, transfers of insurance portfolios, and market abuse provisions. This is complemented by a range of statutory instruments on certain subjects; for example, the authorization or exemption process. Legislation based on Solvency II also broadly remains relevant, although the U.K. government and regulators have repealed and replaced certain retained E.U. law with legislation and regulation that is specifically tailored to the U.K. insurance regulatory regime (as described in more detail in the "—*U.K. Prudential Regime for Insurers"* section below). In addition, U.K. companies carrying out insurance activities must comply with general legislation, such as the U.K. Companies Act 2006.

***U.K. Authorized Firms in the Group***

FUL is authorized by the PRA to effect and carry out contracts of insurance in respect of a number of classes of general (non-life) insurance business and subject to regulation by the PRA and FCA. The Fidelis IG Corporate Member is subject to regulation and directions from Lloyd's. For more information see "—Lloyd's Regulation" below.

***U.K. Prudential Regime for Insurers***

FUL, as a U.K.-authorized insurer, is subject to the U.K.'s domestic prudential regime, which derives from Solvency II, although it has undergone a number of changes that took effect on December 31, 2024 ("Solvency UK"). Prior to this date, the U.K. largely transposed Solvency II into U.K. law by FSMA 2000 and The Solvency 2 Regulations 2015. In order to ensure the continuing application of the Solvency II regulatory framework in the U.K. following Brexit, pursuant to the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, as amended, the U.K. transposed all directly applicable E.U. legislation relating to Solvency II into U.K. law, including the European Commission's Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/35 (the "Delegated Acts"), which are commonly known as 'assimilated law'. Secondary legislation, such as the Solvency II and Insurance (Amendments) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019, was passed by the U.K. Parliament in order to address any deficiencies in this assimilated law following Brexit.

On June 29, 2023 the Financial Services and Markets Act 2023 ("FSMA 2023") received Royal Assent and passed into U.K. law. FSMA 2023 established a legislative framework for revoking assimilated law relating to financial services and replacing it with new regulation specifically designed for the U.K. financial services markets. FSMA 2023 did not revoke all assimilated law from its inception, and each piece of EU law was instead placed in a 'transitional period' until it was revoked and replaced by equivalent U.K.-specific regulation. Pursuant to this legislative mechanism, on May 9, 2024, HM Treasury published The Financial Services and Markets Act 2023 (Commencement No. 6) Regulations 2024, which had the effect of revoking the assimilated law set out in the paragraph above with effect from December 31, 2024. This revoked assimilated law has now been reinstated via a number of additional rules in the PRA Rulebook and secondary PRA regulatory publications (taking the form of Statements of Policy and Supervisory Statements).

HM Treasury has stated that the legislative and regulatory changes are intended to ensure that it will: (i) be better tailored to the U.K. insurance market; (ii) promote effective competition; and (iii) provide the PRA with a greater degree of supervisory discretion. These changes are therefore expected to be beneficial for FUL (for example, an overall decrease in FUL's capital requirements and a reduction in its FUL's regulatory burden).

***Material Outsourcing Requirements***

The Framework Agreement, Delegated Underwriting Authority Agreement between FUL and Pine Walk Capital Limited (the "U.K. Delegated Underwriting Authority Agreement") and the Inter-Group Services Agreement (in such context only, the "U.K. Material

------

Outsourcing Agreements") each constitutes a "material outsourcing" arrangement under U.K. insurance regulation. See Item 7.B. Related Party Transactions for further information. Under U.K. insurance regulation, an outsourcing arrangement is material if it is of such importance that weakness, or failure, of the service provider would cast serious doubt upon the firm's continuing satisfaction of the U.K. Regulators' threshold conditions for authorization and their Fundamental Rules/Principles. The U.K. Regulators require insurers to apply adequate governance and controls in respect of material outsourcing agreements.

The most prominent "material outsourcing" rules that apply to FUL are set out in the PRA's supervisory statements, "Outsourcing and third party risk management" (SS2/21) together with related operational resilience expectations in "Operational resilience: Impact tolerances for important business services" (SS1/21) and corresponding rules are contained in the 'Conditions Governing Business' and 'Insurance – Operational Resilience' Parts of the PRA Rulebook. The PRA and FCA are also progressing new operational incident and material third-party reporting proposals (*Operational Incident and Third Party Reportin*g (CP24/28) and *Operational resilience: Operational incident and outsourcing and third-party reporting* (CP17/24) alongside the critical third parties oversight regime.

Pursuant to these rules, certain rights pertaining to FUL must be included in the U.K. Delegated Underwriting Authority Agreement and the Inter-Group Services Agreement, including: (i) the right for FUL to receive information from the service provider about the performance of the services; (ii) the right for FUL to instruct the service provider in respect of these functions; and (iii) the right for FUL, its external auditor and the U.K. Regulators to audit the service provider. FUL was also required to present the U.K. Material Outsourcing Agreements and will be required (on a go-forward basis) to present any material amendments to them, to the PRA and obtain its "non-objection" in relation to them before they can be executed or be materially amended by the parties.

FUL must ensure that its board of directors and senior management set appropriate risk management policies, systems and controls in respect of FUL's outsourcing and third party arrangements and must ensure that they are properly carried out. In particular, these individuals should receive clear, consistent, robust and timely management information relating to each service provider's performance of the U.K. Delegated Underwriting Authority Agreement, which will enable them to effectively oversee these activities and provide challenge in relation to them. If a service provider does not adhere to predetermined performance standards, FUL must be able to implement effective remediation procedures or exit strategies. Similar requirements must also be applied under the terms of the Inter-Group Services Agreement.

FUL must also ensure that its systems and controls specifically identify and prioritize "important business services," and consider and monitor whether it has dedicated appropriate resources to ensure that it has sufficient operational resilience in the event of any potential material disruption to the services provider (for example, by preparing and maintaining a business continuity or disaster recovery plan covering such circumstances).

In light of these rules and supervisory statements, we expect that the U.K. Material Outsourcing Agreements will be subject to a significant degree of regular and periodic focus from the PRA. FUL submitted the U.K. Material Outsourcing Agreements to the PRA for its review and consideration in connection with the Separation Transactions and, in late 2022, the PRA provided its non-objection to the Separation Transactions to FUL and to the FCA.

***Capital Requirements under the U.K. Prudential Regime***

Under the U.K.'s domestic prudential regime, insurers are required to maintain a minimum margin of solvency equivalent to their Solvency Capital Requirement ("SCR") at all times, the calculation of which depends on the type and amount of insurance business written as well as reserve, credit, market and operational risks. The financial resources that an insurer retains in support of the SCR must be adequate, both as to amount and quality, to ensure that there is no significant risk that an entity's liabilities cannot be met as they fall due. FUL calculates its SCR in accordance with a standard formula prescribed in accordance with Solvency UK. If the PRA considers that FUL does not hold sufficient capital resources, it can impose additional requirements in relation to the amount and quality of the resources it considers necessary. Any failure to comply with such requirements introduced by the PRA can result in intervention by the PRA or imposition of sanctions, which could have an adverse effect on FUL's results and financial position.

In addition, FUL is required to submit quarterly and annual filings with the PRA, including an annual Solvency and Financial Condition Report ("SFCR"), which must be posted on Fidelis' website. FUL must also submit an annual Own Risk and Solvency Assessment ("ORSA") to the PRA. The ORSA report is produced annually and provides a summary of all of the activity and processes during the preceding year to assess and report on risks and ensure that our overall solvency needs are met at all times, and which will include a forward-looking assessment. It also explains the linkages between business strategy, business planning and capital and risk management processes. Further, FUL may need to perform an additional ORSA, and submit the corresponding ORSA report to the PRA, following any significant change in its risk profile.

From June 30, 2026, the PRA may require a U.K. insurer to provide a Solvent Exit Analysis ("SEA") upon request. With limited exceptions, U.K. insurers are expected to develop, maintain and periodically update an SEA setting out how the firm would achieve an orderly solvent wind-down. The PRA has indicated that the SEA should address, among other matters, the actions that would be taken in a solvent exit scenario, relevant indicators and triggers, key risks and impediments, anticipated resource and funding requirements, stakeholder communications, governance and decision-making arrangements, and internal assurance, with the level of detail calibrated

------

to the firm's size, business model and risk profile. If a solvent exit becomes a realistic prospect, firms are expected to prepare a Solvent Exit Execution Plan and to oversee and monitor the exit process in a manner consistent with PRA supervisory expectations.

***Restrictions on Dividend Payments by Insurers***

The U.K. Companies Act 2006 prohibits U.K. companies, including FUL, from declaring dividends to their shareholders unless they have profits available for distribution. The determination of whether a company has profits available for distribution is based on its accumulated realized profits and other distributable reserves, less its accumulated realized losses. While the U.K. insurance regulatory rules impose no statutory restrictions on a general insurer's ability to declare a dividend, the PRA's rules require each authorized insurer within its jurisdiction to maintain its solvency margin at all times. Accordingly, FUL may not pay a dividend if the payment of such dividend would result in its SCR coverage ratio falling below certain levels. In addition, any future changes regarding regulatory requirements, including those described above, may restrict the ability of FUL to pay dividends in the future. FUL would be required to notify the PRA if it intended to make any dividend payments to its shareholders.

***Change of Control***

The PRA and the FCA regulate the acquisition of "control" of any U.K. insurers that are authorized under FSMA. Any legal entity or individual that (together with any person with whom it or they are "acting in concert") directly or indirectly acquires 10% or more of the shares in a U.K. insurer, or their parent company, or is entitled to exercise or control the exercise of 10% or more of the voting power in the U.K. insurer or their parent company, would be considered to have acquired "control" for the purposes of FSMA, as would a person who had significant influence over the management of the U.K. insurer or their parent company by virtue of their shareholding or voting power in either.

Under FSMA, any person proposing to acquire "control" over a U.K. insurer must give prior notification to the PRA and FCA of their intention to do so. The PRA and FCA, then have 60 working days to consider that person's application to acquire "control" (although this 60 working day period can be extended by up to 30 additional working days in certain circumstances where the regulators have questions relating to the application). Failure to obtain prior approval is a criminal offense. A person who is already deemed to have "control" in a U.K. insurer such as FUL will require prior approval of the PRA and FCA if such person increases their level of "control" beyond certain percentages. These percentages are 20%, 30% and 50%.

***Environmental, Social and Governance***

ESG continues to be an area of focus by the PRA, FCA and Lloyd's. Existing environmental regulations such as the PRA's supervisory statement SS3/19 "*Enhancing banks' and insurers' approaches to managing the financial risks from climate change*" require FUL to: (i) fully embed consideration of climate-related risks into its governance arrangements; incorporate climate related financial risks into existing risk management practices; (ii) utilize scenario analysis to inform strategy setting, risk assessment and risk identification; and (iii) develop and maintain an appropriate approach to the disclosure of climate-related financial risks. On December 3, 2025, the PRA published policy statement PS25/25 – *'Enhancing banks' and insurers' approaches to managing climate-related risks – Update to SS3/19'* and an updated supervisory statement SS5/25 '*Enhancing banks' and insurers' approaches to managing climate-relate risks'*. These publications update and expand upon the expectations set out in SS3/19, providing additional clarity and reflecting developments in international regulatory standards. The updated policy and supervisory statement took effect upon publication, and the PRA expects firms to conduct an internal assessment of their current arrangements against the revised expectations and to develop an appropriate implementation plan within six months of commencement, which would require completion by early June 2026. FUL is also required to allocate responsibility for managing climate-related risk to a senior manager under the Senior Managers and Certification Regime.

The FCA's policy statement PS23/16 "*Sustainability Disclosure Requirements*" sets out its final rules and guidance on the sustainability disclosure requirements and investment labels regime. As part of this regime, there is, among other things, a general 'anti-greenwashing' rule, which is applicable to all FCA-regulated firms, and requires firms, when communicating with UK clients in relation to a product or service, or communicating or approving a financial promotion to a person in the UK, to ensure, among other things, that any references in such communications to the sustainability characteristics of the product or service are fair, clear and not misleading.

In September 2023, the PRA and FCA issued a joint consultation paper CP18/23 and CP23/20 "*Diversity and inclusion in PRA- regulated firms*". On March 12, 2025, the PRA and FCA each issued a statement to confirm that, based on feedback received and in order to reduce regulatory burden on firms, they have decided not to publish new rules on diversity and inclusion and will not revisit this position until after the implementation of any new legislation in this area. However, the PRA and FCA have indicated that they will continue to support voluntary industry initiatives. The FCA also indicated that it continues to prioritize its work to tackle non-financial misconduct and in July 2025, published CP25/18 "*Tackling non-financial misconduct in financial services*" setting out amendments to its regulatory framework to tackle non-financial misconduct (including bullying and harassment) in financial services. In December 2025, the FCA finalized its framework on non-financial misconduct through the publication of Policy Statement PS25/23 - '*Tackling non-financial misconduct in financial services'*. The framework applies to all FCA-authorized firms and to individuals subject to the code of conduct and the fit and proper test. In effect, these changes bring non-bank firms subject to the Senior Managers

------

and Certification Regime, including insurers, into closer alignment with banks, for which comparable non-financial misconduct standards already apply. The new rules will take effect on September 1, 2026 and will not apply retrospectively. Firms may be required to notify the FCA where disciplinary action is taken for a breach of the conduct rules, and serious non-financial misconduct may also give rise to fitness and propriety considerations and potential enforcement action.

***Data Protection***

FUL and FIHL (UK) Services Limited, as well as TFP subsidiaries on whom we rely, must comply with all applicable data privacy legislation, including the E.U. and U.K. versions of the General Data Protection Regulation (each as implemented or supplemented by national laws and together, the "GDPR"). The GDPR imposes obligations upon any subject organization that targets, or collects or processes personal data related to, individuals in the E.U. and U.K. As a result, it is extraterritorial in its scope in that it applies to all businesses of the Group in the E.U. and the U.K., respectively, and any businesses of the Group outside the E.U. and the U.K. that collect or process E.U. and/or U.K. personal data of individuals in the E.U. and/or the U.K., therefore providing increased individual rights and protections for all personal data located in or originating from the E.U. or the U.K.

Moreover, there are significant fines associated with noncompliance. In particular, U.K. incorporated companies subject to the E.U. GDPR also need to monitor compliance with all applicable E.U. member states' laws and regulations, including any permitted derogations from the E.U. GDPR. Adherence to the provisions and obligations of the GDPR has increased compliance obligations and has necessitated the implementation, maintenance and ongoing review of policies and processes relating to collection and use of personal data, and has required change to business practices regarding these matters. See Item 3.D. Risk Factors "Risks Relating to Regulation of the Group—Data protection failures could disrupt the Group's business, damage its reputation and cause losses".

***Lloyd's Regulation***

*General*. Lloyd's itself is regulated by the PRA and FCA. Fidelis IG Corporate Member is a corporate member at Lloyd's and is subject to the regulation and supervision of the Council of Lloyd's. Lloyd's establishes its own bye-laws and regulations, including requirements made under those bye-laws that all members must comply with.

*Solvency Requirements.* Underwriting capacity of a member of Lloyd's must be supported by providing a deposit (referred to as "Funds at Lloyd's") in the form of cash, securities or letters of credit in an amount determined in accordance with Lloyd's requirements and the U.K. domestic prudential regime. The amount of such deposit is calculated for each member through the completion of an annual capital adequacy exercise. Under these requirements, it must be demonstrated to Lloyd's that each member has sufficient assets to meet its underwriting liabilities plus a required solvency margin.

*Intervention Powers.* The Council of Lloyd's has wide discretionary powers to regulate members' underwriting at Lloyd's. It may, for instance, change the basis on which syndicate expenses are allocated or vary the Funds at Lloyd's or the investment criteria applicable to the provision of Funds at Lloyd's. Exercising any of these powers might affect the return on an investment of the corporate member in a given underwriting year. Further, the annual business plans of a syndicate are subject to the review and approval by Lloyd's. Each member of Lloyd's is required to contribute a percentage of that member's underwriting capacity for the relevant year of account to the Lloyd's central fund (the "Central Fund"). If a member of Lloyd's is unable to pay its debts to policyholders, the Council of Lloyd's may exercise its discretion to pay the policyholder from Lloyd's Central Fund. If Lloyd's determines that the Central Fund needs to be increased, it has the power to assess premium levies on current Lloyd's members. In addition, the Council of Lloyd's has discretion to call or assess an additional percentage of a member's underwriting capacity in any one year as a Central Fund contribution.

*Change of Control.* A "change of control" at a Lloyd's corporate member requires prior written consent from the Council of Lloyd's. Any legal entity or individual that (together with any person with whom it or they are "acting in concert") directly or indirectly acquires 10% or more of the shares or voting rights in the corporate member or its parent company or can exercise significant influence or management over the corporate member or its parent company must receive prior approval to the change of control. In the event that Lloyd's prior approval to the change of control is not obtained, Lloyd's may withdraw the corporate member's permission to participate.

**Ireland Insurance Regulation**

***General***

The CBI has primary responsibility for the prudential supervision and regulation of insurance and reinsurance undertakings and insurance intermediaries authorized in Ireland, including FIID. The CBI's statutory objectives include (i) the stability of the financial system overall; (ii) the proper and effective regulation of financial service providers and markets, while ensuring that the best interests of consumers of financial services are protected; and (iii) the resolution of financial difficulties in credit institutions.

The CBI carries out its supervisory role through (i) processing applications for financial services authorizations in Ireland; (ii) monitoring compliance with prudential standards, primarily through examining prudential returns (weekly, monthly and annual), financial statements and annual reports, conducting regular review meetings and on-site inspections; (iii) developing systems and

------

procedures to monitor activities and detect noncompliance by financial service providers; (iv) issuing guidance notes to enhance supervisory oversight due to continued growth and changes in financial markets; and (v) supporting the development of domestic legislation and implementing E.U. regulations and international standards.

The CBI has extensive powers to intervene in the affairs of insurance undertakings and insurance distribution activities that it regulates and to monitor compliance. In particular, the CBI's administrative sanctions regime provides it with the power to administer sanctions in relation to prescribed contraventions by regulated financial service providers and individuals. Sanctions under the administrative sanctions regime include (i) cautions or reprimands; (ii) directions to refund or withhold monies charged or paid; (iii) monetary penalties up to €10,000,000 or 10% of turnover (or up to €1,000,000 for individuals); (iv) suspension or revocation of authorization; and (v) disqualification of individuals from being concerned in the management of a regulated financial service provider.

Insurance undertakings are primarily regulated under the European Union (Insurance and Reinsurance) Regulations 2015 (the "2015 Regulations"), which transpose Solvency II into Irish law. The 2015 Regulations include the approval process for the acquisition or disposal of holdings in insurance undertakings, governance and reporting standards, capital and solvency requirements and rules regarding the procedure for the transfer of insurance portfolios. Insurance intermediaries are primarily regulated under the European Union (Insurance Distribution) Regulations 2018, which transpose the Insurance Distribution Directive 2016/97 into Irish law. In addition, Irish companies carrying out insurance activities must comply with general legislation in Ireland, such as the Irish Companies Act 2014.

***Irish Authorized firm in the Group***

The Group's Irish-authorized firm, FIID, is an insurance company incorporated under the laws of Ireland and duly authorized by the CBI as an insurance undertaking to carry on the following classes of non-life insurance business in accordance with the 2015 Regulations: 5 (Aircraft), 6 (Ships), 7 (Goods in Transit), 8 (Fire and Natural Forces), 9 (Other Damage to Property), 11 (Aircraft Liability), 12 (Liability for Ships), 13 (General Liability), 14 (Credit), 15 (Suretyship), and 16 (Miscellaneous Financial Loss).

***Irish Regulation of Insurance Undertakings***

As FIID is authorized in Ireland as an insurance undertaking, the Irish prudential insurance regulatory framework and requirements apply to it, including the following significant aspects:

*Solvency Requirements*

FIID is required to meet economic risk-based solvency requirements under Solvency II (as transposed into Irish law by the 2015 Regulations). Solvency II prescribes (i) the minimum amount of capital that FIID is required to have in order to cover the risks to which it is exposed and (ii) the principles that guide its overall risk management and regulatory reporting.

Under Solvency II, FIID is required to maintain a minimum margin of solvency equivalent to its SCR at all times, the calculation of which depends on the type and amount of insurance business written as well as reserve, credit, market and operational risks. The financial resources that an insurer retains in support of the SCR must be adequate, both as to amount and quality, to ensure that there is no significant risk that its liabilities cannot be met as they fall due.

Under Solvency II, the SCR may be calculated by an approved internal capital model or by a standard formula prescribed by the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority ("EIOPA") in accordance with the terms of Solvency II. FIID calculates its SCR in accordance with a standard formula prescribed in accordance with Solvency II.

The CBI has a regulatory expectation that insurance undertakings will maintain an appropriate buffer above the SCR that is appropriate to the risk profile and type of business written and FIID duly maintains a level of capital which is above the SCR.

*Reporting Requirements*

FIID must file and submit annual audited financial statements and related reports to the Irish Companies Registration Office ("CRO") together with an annual return of certain core corporate information. Changes to core corporate information during the year must also be notified to the CRO. FIID must also file and submit annual certifications to the CBI, including certifications of compliance with:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the applicable CBI's Corporate Governance Requirements for Insurance Undertakings 2015;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Fitness & Probity Standards (Code issued under Section 50 of the Central Bank Reform Act 2010); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Solvency II.

In addition, FIID is required to submit quarterly and annual filings with the CBI, including Quantitative Reporting Templates, an annual SFCR and an annual ORSA. The SFCR must be made publicly available and will include information on FIID's business performance, system of governance, risk profile, and capital management. The ORSA report provides a summary of all the activity and processes during the preceding year to assess and report on risks and ensure that FIID's overall solvency needs are met on an

------

ongoing basis, including a forward-looking assessment. The ORSA report also explains the linkages between business strategy, business planning and capital and risk management processes.

In addition, FIID must submit a Regular Supervisory Report every three years, as well as an annual summary report setting out material changes that have occurred over the given financial year.

*Dividends and Distributions*

Pursuant to Irish company law, FIID is only able to declare dividends out of profits available for distribution. Profits available for distribution are, broadly, a company's accumulated realized profits, less its accumulated realized losses. Such profits may not include profits previously utilized.

*Outsourcing of Critical or Important Operational Functions or Activities*

The Framework Agreement, Delegated Underwriting Authority Agreement between FIID and Pine Walk Europe (the "Irish Delegated Underwriting Authority Agreement") and the Inter-Group Services Agreement (in such context only, the "Irish Material Outsourcing Agreements") each constitutes an outsourcing of critical or important operational functions or activities under Irish insurance regulation. See Item 7.B. Related Party Transactions for further information. The 2015 Regulations, Solvency II and the Delegated Acts, along with EIOPA and CBI guidelines, set out the obligations which FIID must comply with in respect of the outsourcing of critical or important functions or activities. In general, a function is to be regarded as critical or important if failure or inadequate provision of the function would have an adverse impact on the operational continuity of the core business line or critical business function.

Pursuant to the relevant legislation and guidelines, certain rights pertaining to FIID must be included in the Irish Delegated Underwriting Authority Agreement and the Inter-Group Services Agreement, including: (i) the right for FIID to receive information from the applicable outsourced service provider about the outsourced functions; (ii) the right for FIID to instruct the applicable outsourced service provider in respect of these functions; and (iii) the right for FIID, its external auditor and the CBI to audit the applicable outsourced service provider. FIID must also notify (and obtain approval from) the CBI at least six weeks before entering into the Irish Delegated Underwriting Authority Agreement and the Inter-Group Services Agreement and regarding subsequent material developments with respect to the Irish Material Outsourcing Agreements.

FIID must ensure that its board of directors and senior management set appropriate risk management policies, systems and controls in respect of FIID's outsourcing arrangements and must ensure that they are properly carried out. In particular, these individuals should receive clear, consistent, robust and timely management information relating to each service provider's performance of the Irish Delegated Underwriting Authority Agreement and the Inter-Group Services Agreement, which will enable them to effectively oversee these activities and provide challenge in relation to them. If a service provider does not adhere to predetermined performance standards, FIID must be able to implement effective remediation procedures or exit strategies.

FIID must also ensure continuity of services through robust disaster recovery and business continuity management. In particular, FIID must document and implement business continuity plans in relation to its critical and important outsourced functions and ensure that these plans are tested and updated on a regular basis. FIID must also ensure that each service provider has and regularly tests a business continuity plan, which includes the resources required to fulfill FIID's critical or important outsourcing arrangements. FIID's board of directors and senior management must take remedial action to address any deficiencies identified in a service provider's performance, either as part of coordinated testing of FIID's business continuity measures, or via results of the service provider's own business continuity plan testing.

FIID submitted the terms of the Irish Material Outsourcing Agreements to the CBI for its review and consideration and, in late 2022, the CBI provided its approval.

*Restrictions on Change of Business Plan*

As part of the initial authorization process, insurance undertakings, such as FIID, must submit a detailed business plan to the CBI which describes the business they propose to conduct. The standard conditions of authorization typically issued by the CBI specify that any subsequent material change to the business plan requires the prior notification to the CBI.

*Data Protection*

FIID must comply with the GDPR, which took effect in May 2018. The Data Protection Act 2018 is the Irish legislation that gives effect to certain aspects of the data protection in Ireland. The GDPR regulates data protection for all individuals within the E.U., including foreign companies collecting and processing personal data of E.U. residents. The GDPR sets out individuals' rights, and provides complex and far-reaching company obligations and significant penalties in the case of violation. The GDPR sets out a number of requirements that FIID must comply with when handling personal data, including: the obligation to appoint data protection officers in certain circumstances, the principle of accountability and the obligation to make public notification of data breaches that reach certain thresholds.

------

The interpretation and application of data protection laws in Ireland, Europe and elsewhere are developing and remain uncertain and in flux in some respects. It is possible that these laws or cybersecurity regulations may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent with existing data protection or security practices. If so, in addition to the possibility of fines, this will result in an order requiring that we change our data practices, which could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations. The introduction of the GDPR and resultant changes in E.U. member states' national laws and regulations, have increased our compliance obligations and have necessitated the review and implementation of policies and processes relating to our collection and use of personal data, and have required us to change our business practices regarding these matters.

**United States Insurance Regulation**

***FIBL and FUL's U.S. Excess and Surplus Lines Business***

Although the Group is not licensed to write insurance on an admitted basis in any state in the United States, FIBL and FUL, due to their inclusion in the IID, are eligible to write surplus lines business as alien, non-admitted insurers in 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia and other NAIC jurisdictions such as Puerto Rico in accordance with the Dodd-Frank Act. The laws of most states regulate or prohibit the sale of insurance and reinsurance within their jurisdictions by non-admitted insurers and reinsurers. We do not intend that FIBL or FUL maintain an office or solicit, advertise, settle claims or conduct other insurance activities in any jurisdiction other than their respective jurisdictions of incorporation where the conduct of such activities would require FIBL or FUL to be so admitted. Neither FIBL nor FUL maintains an office in the United States but each of FIBL and FUL writes excess and surplus lines business as an eligible, but non-admitted, alien surplus lines insurer. Each of FIBL and FUL accepts business only through U.S. licensed surplus lines brokers and does not market directly to the public. Although neither FIBL nor FUL underwrites or handles claims directly in the U.S., each of FIBL and FUL may grant limited underwriting authorities to U.S. licensed surplus lines brokers and retain third party claims administrators, duly licensed, for the purpose of facilitating U.S. business.

Each of FIBL and FUL maintains an NAIC U.S. trust fund to support its surplus lines business, in accordance with the rules of the IID. The total market value of assets in each of the FIBL and FUL NAIC trusts was $35.7 million and $75.8 million, respectively, at December 31, 2025 (December 31, 2024: $18.4 million and $60.5 million, respectively).

***FIBL and FUL's U.S. Reinsurance Business***

As a result of the Dodd-Frank Act, only a ceding insurer's state of domicile can dictate the credit for reinsurance requirements. For all NAIC jurisdictions in which a ceding insurer is licensed other than the ceding insurer's state of domicile, such jurisdictions are no longer able to require additional collateral from non-admitted reinsurers or otherwise impose their own credit for reinsurance laws on ceding insurers domiciled in other states. In 2011, the NAIC adopted revisions to its Credit for Reinsurance Model Law and Model Regulation (together, the "Amended Credit for Reinsurance Model Act"). Under the Amended Credit for Reinsurance Model Act, qualifying non-admitted reinsurers domiciled in "qualified jurisdictions" who meet certain minimum rating and capital requirements are, upon application to and approval by the state Insurance Departments, permitted to post less than the 100% collateral currently required with respect to a cedant domiciled in that state. Insurers that have been granted approval to post reduced collateral are known as certified reinsurers. The U.K. and Bermuda are among the approved "qualified jurisdictions" which allow U.S. states that have adopted the Amended Credit for Reinsurance Model Act to implement reduced collateral requirements with respect to reinsurers domiciled in Bermuda and the U.K., such as FIBL and FUL. FIBL and FUL have been approved by Florida, as the lead state for treatment as a certified reinsurer to post reduced collateral (i.e., 50% versus 100%), and have both "passported" into multiple other U.S. states. Each of FIBL and FUL obtains letters of credit for the benefit of its U.S. cedants so that the cedants are able to take full financial statement credit for reinsurance.

In addition, during 2022, FIBL and FUL were approved by Colorado as the lead state for treatment as a reciprocal reinsurer, and each has then passported into other U.S. states. Reciprocal jurisdiction reinsurer status allows cedants in such states to continue to obtain credit for reinsurance by FIBL and FUL, without either company being required to post any collateral so long as each continues to maintain such status.

**Additional Regulation**

FIBL and FUL write business outside of their respective jurisdictions of incorporation predominantly on a non-admitted basis. However, in respect of jurisdictions where FIBL and FUL are unable to rely on the relevant exemptions for non-admitted (re)insurers or in respect of jurisdictions where a relevant license is requested by the underwriters, FIBL and FUL each hold a number of licenses. FIBL is licensed to write reinsurance in Argentina, Chile, China, Ecuador and Mexico. FUL is licensed to write reinsurance in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Ecuador, Egypt, Honduras, India, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay and Zimbabwe. We do not regard the effect of these licenses to be material to us at this time.

**Legal Proceedings**

Similar to the rest of the insurance and reinsurance industry, we are from time to time subject to litigation, arbitration and other dispute resolution proceedings in the ordinary course of our business. Such matters generally arise from questions of insurance or reinsurance

------

coverage, including coverage disputes arising from notable natural catastrophes and man-made loss events, the interpretation or application of policy or contract terms, claims handling activities or the enforcement of our rights and obligations under insurance or reinsurance agreements, and may involve efforts to collect amounts due to us or to defend against claims asserted by policyholders, cedants, reinsurers or other counterparties. We or our subsidiaries may also be involved in the investigation, conduct and defense of other potential litigation, disputes and regulatory or governmental inquiries, including matters relating to underwriting or administrative errors or omissions, employment-related claims or other operational or commercial disputes, from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Pursuant to our insurance and reinsurance arrangements, a number of these disputes are resolved by arbitration or other forms of alternative dispute resolution, or through negotiated resolution, and we consider the status of such matters in establishing our reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses, as appropriate.

Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, government sanctions were introduced prohibiting various commercial and finance activities in Russia, including leasing of aircraft in the aviation industry to any person in Russia, or for use in Russia. Aircraft lessors issued notices to airlines and lessees in Russia purporting to terminate the leasing of aircraft (and other parts such as spare engines) and requiring that the airlines return the assets. Certain of the relevant aviation authorities where the aircraft are registered have also since suspended the certificates of airworthiness of such aircraft. Some aircraft are yet to be returned and aircraft lessors filed various insurance claims under their insurance policies in relation to the unreturned aircraft. As previously disclosed, certain lessors instituted proceedings in the U.K., the U.S. and Ireland against upwards of 60 (re)insurers, including certain Group entities. The majority of the claims that formed part of these proceedings have since been settled out of court. In June 2025, the English High Court issued a judgment in connection with the related proceedings in England and a further consequential hearing regarding interest and certain cost matters was held in September 2025.

Provision has been made in the Group's reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses for potential exposures relating to the Ukraine Conflict, including reserves reflecting our estimate for potential loss claims relating to leased aircraft within Russia, including related litigation proceedings and settlements.

We are not a party to any litigation or governmental or other proceeding that we believe will have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity. However, the results of any current or future litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and regardless of the outcome, we may incur significant costs and experience a diversion of management resources as a result of any litigation. See Item 3.D. Risk Factors "Risks Relating to the Group's Business and Industry—The Group is subject to litigation, the outcomes of which are inherently uncertain and could adversely affect its business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations."

**C. Organizational Structure**

**Overview**

Fidelis Insurance Group is a strategic capital allocator and risk selector in specialty insurance and reinsurance, focused on identifying the most compelling opportunities in the market to allocate capital and the best-in-class partners to execute the Group's underwriting strategy in those areas.

The Group was formed under the principles of focused, process-driven and disciplined underwriting and risk selection, strong client and broker relationships and nimble capital deployment. These principles inform our approach to underwriting insurance and reinsurance business within an innovative framework, focusing on profitability while also delivering superior solutions for clients and brokers.

Our business comprises two segments: Insurance and Reinsurance, with a diversified portfolio spanning 10 lines of business. This breadth allows us to provide solutions for customers across a broad range of industries, manage different types of risk, and operate effectively across geographic regions. Our disciplined underwriting and active capital management enable us to respond dynamically to market cycles and pursue opportunities that we believe offer an attractive balance of risk and return.

The Insurance segment comprises a portfolio of specialty risks. In addition to major specialty lines of business, this segment includes highly tailored products, where the buying motivation is often driven by regulatory capital relief, capital efficiency or transaction facilitation. The lines of business in Insurance include Property, Marine, Asset Backed Finance & Portfolio Credit, Energy, Cyber, Aviation & Aerospace, Political Risk, Violence & Terror, and Other Insurance risks. A strong rating environment following years of compound rate increases across multiple business lines within the Insurance segment have provided opportunities for targeted growth. We leverage our gross line size and lead position to cross-sell across our portfolio and achieve preferential terms and conditions. This, combined with long established relationships, has enabled Fidelis Insurance Group to build an established book of specialty business. Given the favorable rating environment which has persisted across Property D&F since market dislocation in 2019, we have increasingly used our Insurance segment to deploy capital targeted to natural catastrophe exposure through the Property line of business. This allows a more selective approach to managing aggregate exposure.

In the Insurance segment, we have consistently demonstrated a sophisticated ability to adapt to evolving market conditions through the development of specialized tailored pricing and aggregation models, underpinned by disciplined underwriting. We selectively target capacity-driven layers offering attractive pricing, often with a focus on dislocated markets, to support profitable and sustainable growth in this segment. Our underwriters work closely with our strategic underwriting partners to develop collaborative relationships with brokers and clients and offer them the full suite of our existing products as well as working with them to innovate new product ideas. This relationship-driven, flexible approach enables underwriters to identify both new business opportunities and additional underwriting opportunities from existing clients to provide cover on other related lines of business.

Our Reinsurance segment consists of an actively managed global, property reinsurance portfolio, providing reinsurance and a limited amount of retrocession coverage on both a proportional and excess of loss basis.

We benefit from sophisticated analytics capabilities and live aggregation tools, strong relationships with a mix of regional and nationwide carriers (both in the U.S. and internationally), and deep retail and wholesale broker relationships that support effective distribution. We have developed a proprietary view of risk informed by detailed analysis and engagement with weather and forecasting experts. We believe the effects of climate change on perils such as hurricanes, convective storms, floods and wildfires are not fully captured in current vendor models. As such, we overlay our own assumptions around frequency and severity on third-party vendor models to form a base for exposure and aggregation tracking.

Capacity deployment within the Reinsurance segment remained focused on higher-quality counterparties. We believe these well-resourced clients are better positioned to manage claims outcomes and associated loss adjustment expenses, and they also present opportunities for broader engagement across multiple products, enabling deeper and more durable client relationships. This approach reduces concentration risk by limiting exposure to rate or loss volatility associated with any single program and has supported signing quality relative to peers.

------

During 2025, reinsurance capacity became more readily available. However, the California wildfire event in January 2025 resulted in divergent pricing dynamics, with moderate rate reductions on non-loss-affected business partially offset by significant rate increases on loss-affected programs. In this environment, our underwriting strategy continued to avoid certain mid-layer structures that, in our assessment, were not adequately priced for the underlying risk.

We maintained a flexible and responsive underwriting approach. Where pricing conditions became less attractive, including in certain excess-of-loss placements, we adjusted our participation by reducing excess-of-loss exposure and selectively increasing quota share writings to benefit from more appropriately rated underlying portfolios. This demonstrates our ability to adapt to evolving market conditions, deploy capacity selectively, and utilize our scale to secure favorable participations with high-quality clients.

In addition, we continued to execute on our strategy to increase exposure to non-peak catastrophe business. This has enhanced portfolio diversification while providing access to new growth opportunities that we believe offer attractive risk-adjusted returns.

We have strategic partnerships with industry-leading underwriters, including TFP with whom we have an exclusive right of first access via the right of first refusal terms in the Framework Agreement. Our underwriters continue to work alongside TFP, as we play an active role in shaping our inwards and outwards portfolio. Through this operating model, we are well positioned to make nimble, disciplined and efficient decisions enabling us to respond quickly to changing conditions and an evolving marketplace. The Group's strong capital position further enhances our flexibility to underwrite attractive opportunities and strategically deploy capital.

Our strategic objectives focus on the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Building a scalable, high-quality underwriting portfolio that generates attractive risk-adjusted returns across market cycles;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Generating sustainable long-term shareholder value through disciplined capital allocation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Maintaining effective organizational structures, governance, and operational capabilities to support strategic execution; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Promoting a performance-driven, collaborative culture that attracts, develops, and retains talent.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, we saw continued growth in our GPW to $4.7 billion, or 7.1% from 2024, driven by strong retention levels and new business opportunities across the portfolio, including business from new underwriting partners. Our combined ratio was 94.8% for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to 99.7% in 2024. The improvement was primarily driven by net favorable prior year development of $3.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to net adverse prior year development of $124.6 million in 2024. Our Operating ROAE was 8.5% in 2025 compared with 5.6% in 2024. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the net investment return was 4.4% compared to 3.5% in 2024. During the year, our strong capital position enabled us to opportunistically return $313.7 million of excess capital to common shareholders through our dividend policy and share repurchase program.

**Business Outlook**

We are focused on allocating capital to create long-term value to our shareholders. This includes deploying capital into attractive underwriting opportunities, optimizing our outwards reinsurance purchasing, continually assessing our investment strategy to enhance risk-adjusted returns, and returning excess capital to shareholders through a combination of our share repurchase program and our dividend policy. We underwrite through strategic underwriting partnerships, selectively deploying lead gross line sizes where appropriate. Our goal is to take the lead in setting rates, terms and conditions, and to position ourselves as the market of choice for specialist solutions across both our existing portfolio and new-sub lines of specialty products.

The Group has a strong track record of underwriting performance and profitable growth and we are well positioned to capture attractive opportunities across business lines. While market rates are moderating in certain industry segments, overall dynamics remain favorable and our disciplined underwriting approach ensures that overall pricing available to us remains adequate.

***Insurance***

Our Property book is well established, with GPW growing significantly since the market dislocation that began in 2019. Although rates have experienced some moderation from their recent peaks, our proprietary view of risk and disciplined capacity deployment ensure that overall pricing across our portfolio remains robust and profitable. With significant gross line sizes and lead positions, we continue to achieve differentiated terms, maintain attractive margins and capitalize on opportunities from carriers scaling back in select markets, post-loss environments and niche books of business that complement our portfolio.

In our Marine line of business, we continue to optimize our portfolio by leveraging our participation across Marine sub-classes. The Marine Cargo rating is largely being maintained, while the rating for marine hull is experiencing some pressure. Within the portfolio we leverage marine war capacity alongside marine hull acceptances to enhance combined hull and war line pricing, maintaining profitability. Marine construction is providing well-rated opportunities driven by capacity driven risks.

In aviation, we have deliberately scaled back premium in response to the current risk environment and prevailing market conditions. We remain highly disciplined in how we assess opportunities, particularly in light of recent loss activity, with a clear focus on price adequacy and adherence to non-negotiable terms and conditions. Where we choose to participate, our line size and capacity across sub-classes allow us to maintain relevance, protect market share and achieve differentiated positioning on selected risks. While all-risk rates are showing some upward movement following recent losses, our priority remains ensuring an appropriate risk-reward balance before deploying capital.

Our Asset Backed Finance & Portfolio Credit portfolio includes products where the driver for specific risk transfer is often different to traditional insurance products, including regulatory capital relief, capital efficiency and transaction facilitation. These products are largely insulated from traditional insurance market cycles, due to their specialized, deal-specific risk profiles. Strong counterparty engagement and technical expertise are essential and we set and lead terms across a significant proportion of this portfolio.

***Reinsurance***

Our disciplined and active approach to managing our portfolio and our strong client relationships continue to differentiate our portfolio, as pricing pressure increases across the market. Focus on maintaining retentions and terms and conditions in line with our disciplined underwriting standards support robust margins. This is particularly the case in the natural catastrophe market where we underwrite natural catastrophe exposed contracts using our own proprietary view of risk, enabling us to actively manage and shape our portfolio. Our targeted deployment focuses on higher-tier clients and areas of opportunity, ensuring we capture attractive business while maintain underwriting discipline.

**Performance Measures and Non-GAAP Financial Measures**

In presenting our results, we have included certain non-GAAP financial measures that we believe are useful to consider, in addition to our U.S. GAAP results, for a more complete understanding of the financial performance and position of FIHL. The key performance measures and non-GAAP financial measures that we believe are meaningful in analyzing our performance are summarized below and where applicable a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to U.S. GAAP financials is set out. However, any non-GAAP financial measures should not be viewed as a substitute for those determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP and our methodology for calculating these measures may be different from the way our industry peers calculate these measures.

***Underwriting Performance Measures***

The table below reconciles our attritional and catastrophe and large loss ratios to losses and loss adjustment expenses, loss ratio, underwriting ratio and combined ratio for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

• **Loss ratio**: is calculated by dividing losses and loss adjustment expenses by net premiums earned ("NPE"). The losses will be affected by the occurrence and frequency of catastrophe events, the volume and severity of non-catastrophe losses and the extent of any outwards reinsurance that mitigates the effect of those losses.

• **Attritional loss ratio and catastrophe and large loss ratio**: the attritional loss ratio is a non-GAAP measure of the loss ratio excluding the impact of catastrophe and large losses. Management believes that the attritional loss ratio is a performance measure that is useful to investors as it excludes losses that are not as predictable as to timing and amount. The attritional loss ratio is calculated by dividing the losses and loss adjustment expenses, excluding catastrophe and large losses and prior year development, by NPE. The catastrophe and large loss ratio is a non-GAAP measure that is calculated by dividing the current year catastrophe and large loss expense by NPE.

• **Underwriting ratio**: is calculated by dividing losses and loss adjustment expenses and policy acquisition expenses (excluding TFP commissions) by NPE, or equivalently, by adding the loss ratio and policy acquisition expense ratio (excluding TFP commissions).

• **Combined ratio**: is calculated by dividing losses and loss adjustment expenses, policy acquisition expenses and general and administrative expenses by NPE, or equivalently, by adding the loss ratio, policy acquisition expense ratio, The Fidelis Partnership commissions ratio and general and administrative expense ratio. A combined ratio under 100% indicates an underwriting profit, while a combined ratio over 100% indicates an underwriting loss.

• **Operating net income**: is a non-GAAP financial measure of our performance which does not consider the impact of certain non-recurring and other items that may not properly reflect the ordinary activities of our business, its performance or its future outlook. This measure is calculated as net income excluding net gain on distribution of The Fidelis Partnership, net realized and unrealized investment (gains)/losses, net foreign exchange (gains)/losses, corporate and other expenses, and the income tax effect on these items.

• **Return on average common equity ("ROAE")**: represents net income available to common shareholders divided by average common shareholders' equity.

• **Operating return on average common equity ("Operating ROAE")**: is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents a meaningful comparison between periods of our financial performance expressed as a percentage and is calculated as operating net income divided by adjusted average common shareholders' equity.

• **Operating earnings per share ("Operating EPS")**: is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents a valuable measure of profitability and enables investors, analysts, rating agencies and other users of our financial information to more easily analyze our results in a manner similar to how management analyzes its underlying business performance. It is calculated by dividing operating net income by the weighted average diluted common shares outstanding.

**Underwriting Results**

The improvement in our underwriting income in 2025 compared to 2024 was primarily driven by favorable prior year development of $3.0 million in 2025 compared to adverse prior year development of $124.6 million in 2024. Our underwriting income was impacted by catastrophe and large losses of $515.5 million in 2025, compared to $509.0 million in 2024. Our 2025 catastrophe and large losses primarily related to the California wildfires, Hurricane Melissa, together with other smaller losses in various lines of business. This compares to our 2024 catastrophe and large losses, which primarily related to Hurricane Helene, Hurricane Milton, intellectual property losses, the Baltimore Bridge collapse, severe convective storms, together with other smaller losses in various lines of business.

**Underwriting Results by Segment**

We classify our business into two segments: Insurance and Reinsurance.

The Insurance segment is comprised of a portfolio of Property, Marine, Asset Backed Finance & Portfolio Credit, Energy, Cyber, Aviation & Aerospace, Political Risk, Violence & Terror, and Other Insurance risks.

The Reinsurance segment is primarily a property catastrophe book, with a smaller proportion of Retro & Whole Account business.

***Insurance Segment***

The following table is a summary of our Insurance segment's underwriting results:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2025** | **2024** | **Change** |
| Gross premiums written | $3756.3 | $3538.5 | $217.8 |
| Reinsurance premium ceded | (1224.4) | (1488.1) | 263.7 |
| Net premiums written | 2531.9 | 2050.4 | 481.5 |
| Net premiums earned | 1899.4 | 1902.4 | (3.0) |
| Losses and loss adjustment expenses | (996.5) | (1101.5) | 105.0 |
| Policy acquisition expenses | (557.6) | (604.6) | 47.0 |
| Underwriting income | $345.3 | $196.3 | $149.0 |
| Loss ratio | 52.5% | 57.9% | (5.4) pts |
| Policy acquisition expense ratio | 29.4% | 31.8% | (2.4) pts |
| Underwriting ratio | 81.9% | 89.7% | (7.8) pts |

---

For 2025, our GPW increased compared to 2024, primarily driven by growth from new business opportunities, including newly onboarded partnerships, in several lines of business. These increases were partially offset by the Aviation & Aerospace line of business, where certain deals did not meet our underwriting criteria and rating hurdles, and by premium estimate revisions in multiple lines of business.

For 2025, our NPE decreased compared to 2024, due to business mix as a result of higher gross premiums written on lines of business with longer earnings patterns compared to the prior year periods, as well as due to premium adjustments.

Our policy acquisition expense ratio decreased in 2025 compared to 2024, due to changes in the mix of business written and ceded.

------

The following table is a summary of our Insurance segment's losses and loss adjustment expenses:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2025** | **2024** | **Change** |
| Attritional losses | $533.5 | $476.7 | $56.8 |
| Catastrophe and large losses | 385.4 | 440.2 | (54.8) |
| Adverse prior year development | 77.6 | 184.6 | (107.0) |
| Losses and loss adjustment expenses | $996.5 | $1101.5 | $(105.0) |
| Loss ratio - attritional losses | 28.1% | 25.1% | 3.0 pts |
| Loss ratio - catastrophe and large losses | 20.3% | 23.1% | (2.8) pts |
| Loss ratio - prior accident years | 4.1% | 9.7% | (5.6) pts |
| Loss ratio | 52.5% | 57.9% | (5.4) pts |

---

For 2025, our loss ratio in the Insurance segment improved by 5.4 points from 2024.

For 2025, our attritional loss ratio increased by 3.0 points from 2024, due to a higher level of small losses in the current year period.

The catastrophe and large losses for 2025 were primarily attributable to Hurricane Melissa and the California wildfires in our Property line of business, together with losses in our Other Insurance and Aviation & Aerospace lines of business. This compared to 2024 catastrophe and large losses related to intellectual property losses in our Asset Backed Finance & Portfolio Credit line of business, losses from the Baltimore Bridge collapse in our Marine line of business, Hurricanes Milton and Helene, and severe convective storms in our Property and Marine lines of business, together with other smaller losses in various lines of business.

The adverse prior year development for the year ended December 31, 2025 was driven primarily by an increase in reserves in our Aviation & Aerospace line of business related to the Ukraine Conflict. This increase includes the impact of the settlement of certain aviation litigation related claims during the year, as well as the judgment handed down by the English High Court in June 2025. The increase in loss reserves in Aviation & Aerospace was partially offset by better than expected loss emergence in our Property and Other Insurance lines of business. The adverse prior year development for the year ended December 31, 2024 was driven primarily by an increase in our Aviation and Aerospace line of business related to the Ukraine Conflict, partially offset by better than expected loss emergence in our Property, Other Insurance and Marine lines of business. See Item 18 Financial Statements, Note 9 (Reserves for Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses) to our audited consolidated financial statements.

***Reinsurance Segment***

The following table is a summary of our Reinsurance segment's underwriting results:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2025** | **2024** | **Change** |
| Gross premiums written | $961.3 | $864.6 | $96.7 |
| Reinsurance premium ceded | (484.6) | (520.4) | 35.8 |
| Net premiums written | 476.7 | 344.2 | 132.5 |
| Net premiums earned | 394.3 | 355.7 | 38.6 |
| Losses and loss adjustment expenses | (93.3) | (54.3) | (39.0) |
| Policy acquisition expenses | (103.7) | (84.0) | (19.7) |
| Underwriting income | $197.3 | $217.4 | $(20.1) |
| Loss ratio | 23.7% | 15.3% | 8.4 pts |
| Policy acquisition expense ratio | 26.3% | 23.6% | 2.7 pts |
| Underwriting ratio | 50.0% | 38.9% | 11.1 pts |

---

For 2025, our GPW increased compared to 2024, which was primarily due to reinstatement premiums related to the California wildfires, as well as growth from new business.

For 2025, our NPE increased compared to 2024, which was driven by earnings from higher net premiums written in the prior year periods and from the earning of premiums on contracts where the contract limits were exceeded related to the California wildfires.

Our policy acquisition expense ratio increased in 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to changes in ceded premium and commissions earned from outwards reinsurance partners.

------

The following table is a summary of our Reinsurance segment's losses and loss adjustment expenses:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2025** | **2024** | **Change** |
| Attritional losses | $43.8 | $45.5 | $(1.7) |
| Catastrophe and large losses | 130.1 | 68.8 | 61.3 |
| Favorable prior year development | (80.6) | (60.0) | (20.6) |
| Losses and loss adjustment expenses | $93.3 | $54.3 | $39.0 |
| Loss ratio - attritional losses | 11.1% | 12.9% | (1.8) pts |
| Loss ratio - catastrophe and large losses | 33.0% | 19.3% | 13.7 pts |
| Loss ratio - prior accident years | (20.4)% | (16.9)% | (3.5) pts |
| Loss ratio | 23.7% | 15.3% | 8.4 pts |

---

For 2025, our loss ratio in the Reinsurance segment increased by 8.4 points from 2024.

For 2025, our attritional loss ratio improved by 1.8 points from 2024, due to the current year having fewer attritional losses.

The catastrophe and large losses in the Reinsurance segment for 2025 were attributable to the California wildfires, compared to 2024 catastrophe and large losses that were primarily attributable to Hurricanes Helene and Milton and from storms in Alberta, Canada.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, favorable prior year development was driven by positive development on catastrophe losses and benign prior year attritional experience. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the favorable prior year development was driven by benign prior year attritional experience and positive development on catastrophe losses.

***Other Underwriting Expenses***

We do not allocate The Fidelis Partnership commissions or general and administrative expenses by segment.

*The Fidelis Partnership Commissions*

TFP manages origination, underwriting, underwriting administration, outwards reinsurance and claims handling under delegated authority agreements with the Group. The following table summarizes The Fidelis Partnership commissions earned:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2025** | **2024** | **Change** |
| Ceding commission expense | $325.0 | $311.1 | $13.9 |
| Profit commission expense | 3.8 |  | 3.8 |
| **Total commissions** | $**328.8** | $**311.1** | $**17.7** |
| Ceding commission expense ratio | 14.1% | 13.8% | 0.3 pts |
| Profit commission expense ratio | 0.2% | —% | 0.2 pts |
| **The Fidelis Partnership commissions ratio** | **14.3%** | **13.8%** | **0.5 pts** |

---

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the increase in The Fidelis Partnership commissions ratio was driven by a higher ceding commission ratio as a result of business mix, as well as no profit commission being earned in 2024 as the operating profit did not achieve the required hurdle rate of return, as outlined in the Framework Agreement. For further details, see Item 18 Financial Statements, Note 13 (Related Party Transactions) to our audited consolidated financial statements.

*General and Administrative Expenses*

For the year ended December 31, 2025, general and administrative expenses were $96.6 million (2024: $94.3 million). The increase related to higher employment costs in connection with growth in our headcount, partially offset by lower professional fees and by the Bermuda tax credits which were enacted in the fourth quarter of 2025.

The decrease in our net investment income in the year ended December 31, 2025 resulted from lower investable assets compared to 2024, primarily as the result of the payments for settlements and claims in 2025, partially offset by higher yields on our fixed income investments. During the year ended December 31, 2025 we purchased $1.8 billion of fixed maturity securities at an average yield of 4.4%.

***Net Realized and Unrealized Gains on Other Investments***

Net realized and unrealized gains on other investments is the change in net asset value ("NAV") of our fixed income fund, hedge fund and private credit fund investments. The increase in net unrealized gains on other investments was primarily due to the strategic deployment of assets into other investments in the fourth quarter of 2024.

***Net Realized and Unrealized Investment Gains/(Losses) Excluding Other Investments***

Net realized and unrealized investment gains/(losses) include realized gains and losses on sales of fixed maturity securities, available-for-sale, and movements in our provision for current expected credit losses.

**Corporate and Other Expenses**

Corporate and other expenses in 2025 include a make-whole payment related to the redemption of preferred securities and in 2024 include expenses related to the secondary offering. For the year ended December 31, 2025, corporate and other expenses were $1.2 million (2024: $1.6 million).

**Foreign Exchange Gains/(Losses)**

For the year ended December 31, 2025, foreign exchange gains/(losses) were $0.5 million (2024: $1.6 million). At December 31, 2025, we held net foreign exchange contracts with a notional amount of $133.3 million (December 31, 2024: $31.0 million). These contracts are used to manage foreign currency risks in our underwriting. The foreign exchange contracts were recorded as derivatives at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets with changes recorded as net foreign exchange gains and losses in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.

**Financing Costs**

Financing costs were $47.7 million in the year ended December 31, 2025 (2024: $33.8 million). Our financing costs increased as our debt level increased in June 2025. For the year ended December 31, 2025, dividends paid to the holders of our now redeemed Series A Preference Securities were also included in financing costs. For further details related to the debt issuance and redemption of our Series A Preference Securities in the period, see Note 11 (Long Term Debt and Preference Securities) of our audited consolidated financial statements. Also included in financing costs are costs associated with our letter of credit facilities as discussed in Note 12a (Commitments and Contingencies- Letter of Credit Facilities) of our audited consolidated financial statements.

**Results of Operations - 2024 to 2023**

The following table sets forth the key items discussed in the consolidated results of operations section, and the period-over-period change, for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2024** | **2023** | **Change** |
| Underwriting income | $8.3 | $327.3 | $(319.0) |
| Net investment income | 190.5 | 119.5 | 71.0 |
| Net realized and unrealized investment gains/(losses) | (28.6) | 4.9 | (33.5) |
| Other income |  | 0.1 | (0.1) |

| **Net income** | $**113.3** | $**2132.5** | $**(2019.2)** |

---

**Underwriting Results**

The decline in our underwriting income in 2024 compared to 2023 was primarily driven by significantly higher catastrophe and large losses of $509.0 million in 2024, compared to $288.2 million in 2023, as well as by adverse prior year development of $124.6 million in 2024 compared to favorable prior year development of $62.9 million in 2023. Our 2024 catastrophe and large losses primarily related to Hurricane Helene, Hurricane Milton, intellectual property losses, the Baltimore Bridge collapse, severe convective storms, together with other smaller losses in various lines of business. This compares to our 2023 catastrophe and large losses primarily related to the Sudan Conflict, losses in connection with the Viasat-3 satellite deployment failure, severe convective storms in the U.S., two intellectual property losses and Cyclone Gabrielle in New Zealand. The adverse development for the year ended December 31, 2024 was driven primarily by an increase in our Aviation and Aerospace line of business related to the Ukraine Conflict. This increase relates in large part to an allowance made for ongoing settlement discussions in relation to the related litigation as well as an increase to reserves in order to reflect recent developments and new information received.

**Underwriting Results by Segment**

***Insurance Segment***

The following table is a summary of our Insurance segment's underwriting results:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2024** | **2023** | **Change** |
| Gross premiums written | $3538.5 | $2960.4 | $578.1 |
| Reinsurance premium ceded | (1488.1) | (1079.9) | (408.2) |
| Net premiums written | 2050.4 | 1880.5 | 169.9 |
| Net premiums earned | 1902.4 | 1577.0 | 325.4 |
| Losses and loss adjustment expenses | (1101.5) | (675.1) | (426.4) |
| Policy acquisition expenses | (604.6) | (429.1) | (175.5) |
| Underwriting income | $196.3 | $472.8 | $(276.5) |
| Loss ratio | 57.9% | 42.8% | 15.1 pts |
| Policy acquisition expense ratio | 31.8% | 27.2% | 4.6 pts |
| Underwriting ratio | 89.7% | 70.0% | 19.7 pts |

---

For 2024, our GPW increased from 2023, primarily driven by growth from new business and improved rates in our Property, Marine, Asset Backed Finance & Portfolio Credit and Other Insurance lines of business, partially offset by a decrease in our Aviation and Aerospace line of business where certain deals did not meet our underwriting criteria and rating hurdles.

For 2024, our NPE increased from 2023, driven by earnings from higher net premiums written in the current and prior year periods.

Our policy acquisition expense ratio increased in 2024 from 2023, due to higher variable commissions in certain lines of business and changes in the mix of business written and ceded.

------

The following table is a summary of our Insurance segment's losses and loss adjustment expenses:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2024** | **2023** | **Change** |
| Attritional losses | $476.7 | $415.3 | $61.4 |
| Catastrophe and large losses | 440.2 | 254.2 | 186.0 |
| Adverse prior year development | 184.6 | 5.6 | 179.0 |
| Losses and loss adjustment expenses | $1101.5 | $675.1 | $426.4 |
| Loss ratio - attritional losses | 25.1% | 26.3% | (1.2) pts |
| Loss ratio - catastrophe and large losses | 23.1% | 16.1% | 7.0 pts |
| Loss ratio - prior accident years | 9.7% | 0.4% | 9.3 pts |
| Loss ratio | 57.9% | 42.8% | 15.1 pts |

---

For 2024, our loss ratio in the Insurance segment increased by 15.1 points from 2023.

For 2024, our attritional loss ratio improved by 1.2 points from 2023, due to a lower level of small losses in the current year period.

The catastrophe and large losses in 2024 related to intellectual property losses in our Asset Backed Finance & Portfolio Credit line of business, losses from the Baltimore Bridge collapse in our Marine line of business, Hurricanes Milton and Helene, and severe convective storms in our Property and Marine lines of business, together with other smaller losses in various lines of business. This compared to 2023 catastrophe and large losses primarily related to the Sudan Conflict, losses in connection with the Viasat-3 satellite deployment failure, losses from severe convective storms in the U.S., two intellectual property losses, and other loss events in various lines of business including Property, Energy, and Marine.

The adverse prior year development for the year ended December 31, 2024 was driven primarily by an increase in our Aviation and Aerospace line of business related to the Ukraine Conflict, partially offset by better than expected loss emergence in our Property, Other Insurance and Marine lines of business. The adverse prior year development for the year ended December 31, 2023 related primarily to increased estimates on two contracts in the Energy line of business, adverse development within the Aviation and Aerospace line of business, and updated legal expense provisions in the reserve for the Ukraine Conflict, partially offset by better than expected loss emergence in the Other Insurance line of business. See Item 18 Financial Statements, Note 9 (Reserves for Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses) to our audited consolidated financial statements.

***Reinsurance Segment***

The following table is a summary of our Reinsurance segment's underwriting results:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2024** | **2023** | **Change** |
| Gross premiums written | $864.6 | $618.6 | $246.0 |
| Reinsurance premium ceded | (520.4) | (362.5) | (157.9) |
| Net premiums written | 344.2 | 256.1 | 88.1 |
| Net premiums earned | 355.7 | 255.6 | 100.1 |
| Losses and loss adjustment expenses | (54.3) | (23.7) | (30.6) |
| Policy acquisition expenses | (84.0) | (69.4) | (14.6) |
| Underwriting income | $217.4 | $162.5 | $54.9 |
| Loss ratio | 15.3% | 9.3% | 6.0 pts |
| Policy acquisition expense ratio | 23.6% | 27.2% | (3.6) pts |
| Underwriting ratio | 38.9% | 36.5% | 2.4 pts |

---

For 2024, our GPW increased from 2023, which was driven by new business as well as rate increases.

For 2024, our NPE increased from 2023, which was driven by earnings from higher net premiums written in the current year period.

Our policy acquisition expense ratio decreased in 2024 from 2023, primarily due to change in business mix, retention levels and the impact of commissions on outwards reinsurance.

------

The following table is a summary of our Reinsurance segment's losses and loss adjustment expenses:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2024** | **2023** | **Change** |
| Attritional losses | $45.5 | $58.2 | $(12.7) |
| Catastrophe and large losses | 68.8 | 34.0 | 34.8 |
| Favorable prior year development | (60.0) | (68.5) | 8.5 |
| Losses and loss adjustment expenses | $54.3 | $23.7 | $30.6 |
| Loss ratio - attritional losses | 12.9% | 22.8% | (9.9) pts |
| Loss ratio - catastrophe and large losses | 19.3% | 13.3% | 6.0 pts |
| Loss ratio - prior accident years | (16.9)% | (26.8)% | 9.9 pts |
| Loss ratio | 15.3% | 9.3% | 6.0 pts |

---

For 2024, our loss ratio in the Reinsurance segment increased by 6.0 points from 2023.

For 2024, our attritional loss ratio improved by 9.9 points from 2023, due to the current year being benign in terms of attritional losses.

The catastrophe and large losses in the Reinsurance segment for the year ended December 31, 2024 were primarily attributable to Hurricanes Helene and Milton and from storms in Alberta, Canada, compared to prior year losses related to the Hawaii wildfires, severe convective storms in the U.S., and Cyclone Gabrielle in New Zealand.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, favorable prior year development was driven by benign prior year attritional experience and positive development on catastrophe losses. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the favorable prior year development related primarily to loss reductions from Hurricane Ian as well as favorable attritional experience driven by benign claim experience on prior year accidents.

***Other Underwriting Expenses***

We do not allocate The Fidelis Partnership commissions or general and administrative expenses by segment.

*The Fidelis Partnership Commissions*

TFP manages origination, underwriting, underwriting administration, outwards reinsurance and claims handling under delegated authority agreements with the Group. For further details, see Item 18 Financial Statements, Note 13 (Related Party Transactions) to our audited consolidated financial statements. For the year ended December 31, 2024, The Fidelis Partnership commissions were $311.1 million (2023: $225.3 million) and comprise ceding commissions of $311.1 million (2023: $166.2 million) and profit commissions of $nil (2023: $59.1 million). Due to the operating profit not achieving the required hurdle rate of return, as outlined in the Framework Agreement, there were no profit commissions for the year ended December 31, 2024.

*General and Administrative Expenses*

For the year ended December 31, 2024, general and administrative expenses were $94.3 million (2023: $82.7 million). The increase was driven primarily by increased costs to support the growth of the business and the transition to a publicly traded company in 2023.

**Net Investment Income**

Net investment income includes investment income net of investment management fees. For the year ended December 31, 2024 our net investment income was $190.5 million compared with $119.5 million in the prior year.

The increase in our net investment income in the year ended December 31, 2024 was due to the increase in investable assets and a higher yield achieved on the fixed income portfolio and cash balances. During the year ended December 31, 2024 we purchased $2.3 billion of fixed maturity securities at an average yield of 4.9%.

**Net Realized and Unrealized Investment Gains/(Losses)**

Net realized and unrealized investment gains/(losses) include realized gains and losses on fixed maturity securities, available-for-sale, and realized and unrealized gains and losses on other investments and derivatives. For the year ended December 31, 2024, we had net realized and unrealized investment losses of $28.6 million compared with net realized and unrealized investment gains of $4.9 million in the prior year.

The net realized and unrealized investment losses for the year ended December 31, 2024, resulted primarily from realized losses on the sale of $1.2 billion of fixed maturity securities with an average yield of 2.6%, the proceeds of which were reinvested at higher yields.

------

The net realized and unrealized investment gains for the year ended December 31, 2023 resulted from realized and unrealized gains on other investments, partially offset by net realized losses on sales of fixed maturity securities.

**Net Gain on Distribution of The Fidelis Partnership**

The net gain on distribution of The Fidelis Partnership of $1,639.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2023 has been calculated as the fair value of The Fidelis Partnership of $1,775.0 million, less the net assets of The Fidelis Partnership of $67.9 million and less the direct costs of the Separation Transactions of $68.0 million. Direct costs primarily related to professional fees of $28.6 million, acceleration of compensation expense of $21.0 million and an employer payroll tax expense of $17.3 million. For further details, see Item 18, Note 19 (Separation Transactions) to our audited consolidated financial statements.

**Corporate and Other Expenses**

Corporate and other expenses in 2024 include expenses related to the secondary offering and in 2023, reorganization expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2024, corporate and other expenses were $1.6 million (2023: $4.1 million).

**Foreign Exchange Gains/(Losses)**

For the year ended December 31, 2024, foreign exchange gains/(losses) were $1.6 million (2023: $(4.1) million). At December 31, 2024, we held net foreign exchange contracts with a notional amount of $31.0 million (December 31, 2023: $9.7 million). These contracts are used to manage foreign currency risks in our underwriting. The foreign exchange contracts were recorded as derivatives at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets with changes recorded as net foreign exchange gains and losses in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

**Financing Costs**

Financing costs were $33.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2024 (2023: $35.5 million). Our financing costs decreased in 2024 due to a reduction in the costs associated with our letter of credit facilities discussed in Item 18 Financial Statements, Note 12a (Commitments and Contingencies — Letter of Credit Facilities) to our audited consolidated financial statements. Other financing costs, including the interest expense of our long-term debt and the dividends paid to the holders of the Series A Preference Securities, were similar in both periods.

**B. Liquidity and Capital Resources**

***Liquidity***

Liquidity is a measure of a company's ability to generate cash flows sufficient to meet short-term and long-term cash requirements of its business operations. Management monitors the liquidity of FIHL and each of our operating insurance subsidiaries. As a Bermuda holding company, FIHL relies on dividends and other distributions from its operating subsidiaries to provide cash flow to meet ongoing cash requirements, including principal and interest payments on our debt and other expenses, tax expenses, the repurchase of common shares, and dividends to the holders of our common shares.

The payment of dividends by our subsidiaries is, under certain circumstances, limited by the applicable laws and regulations in the various jurisdictions in which our subsidiaries operate. In addition, insurance laws require our insurance subsidiaries to maintain certain measures of solvency and liquidity. We believe that each of our insurance subsidiaries and branches exceeded the minimum solvency, capital and surplus requirements in their applicable jurisdictions at December 31, 2025.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, FIHL received dividends from subsidiaries of $200.0 million.

Management considers the current cash and cash equivalents, together with dividends declared or expected to be declared by the operating insurance subsidiaries, sufficient to appropriately satisfy the liquidity requirements of FIHL.

On an ongoing basis, the operating insurance subsidiaries' sources of funds primarily consist of premiums written, investment income and proceeds from sales and redemptions of investments. Cash is used primarily to pay reinsurance premiums, losses and loss adjustment expenses, brokerage commissions, general and administrative expenses, taxes, interest and dividends, and to purchase new investments. The potential for individual large claims and for accumulations of claims from any given single event(s) means that substantial and unpredictable payments may need to be made within relatively short periods of time.

The operating insurance subsidiaries held $756.3 million of unrestricted cash and unrestricted short-term investments at December 31, 2025 (December 31, 2024: $685.0 million). Management monitors the value, currency and duration of cash and investments held by the operating insurance subsidiaries to ensure they are able to meet their (re)insurance and other liabilities as they become due and was satisfied that there was a comfortable margin of liquidity at December 31, 2025 and for the foreseeable future.

For all material currencies in which our reinsurance and insurance business is written, we seek to ensure that sufficient cash and short-term investments are held in such currencies to enable us to meet potential claims without having to liquidate long-term investments

------

and adversely affect our investment return. This follows the matching principle that matches our assets and liabilities in currency to mitigate foreign currency risk whenever possible.

We manage these risks by making regular forecasts of the timing and amount of expected cash outflows and ensuring that we maintain sufficient balances in cash and short-term investments to meet these estimates. Notwithstanding this policy, if these cash flow forecasts are incorrect, we could be forced to liquidate investments prior to maturity, potentially at a significant loss. Historically, we have not had to liquidate investments at a significant loss to maintain sufficient levels of liquidity.

The liquidity of the operating insurance subsidiaries is also affected by the terms of our contractual obligations to policyholders and by undertakings to certain regulatory authorities to facilitate the issue of letters of credit or maintain certain balances in trust funds for the benefit of policyholders, or restricted for other reasons.

The following table shows the forms of collateral or other security provided in respect of these obligations and undertakings at December 31, 2025 and 2024 (For further details see Note 6 (Total Cash, Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash and Restricted Investments) and Note 12 (Commitments and Contingencies) of our audited consolidated financial statements):

_________________

(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Funds at Lloyd's ("FAL") represent the capital that we are required to provide as security to support our participation.

***Capital Resources***

We maintain our capital at an appropriate level as determined by our Group Board-approved internal risk appetite and the financial strength required by our clients, regulators and rating agencies. We monitor and review the capital and liquidity positions of FIHL and its operating insurance subsidiaries on an ongoing basis.

The principal capital transactions related to our common shares undertaken during the year ended December 31, 2025 were:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Repurchase of common shares*: Repurchases of an aggregate of 15,184,976 common shares for an aggregate of $261.3 million, excluding expenses, pursuant to the Group's share repurchase program (see Note 16 (Share Capital Authorized and Issued) of our audited consolidated financial statements). On February 20, 2026, the Board of Directors approved an increase to the current common share repurchase authorization to $400 million, through a combination of open market purchases, accelerated share repurchases and privately negotiated transactions. Subsequent to December 31, 2025 and through the period ended March 3, 2026, the Group repurchased 10,561,467 common shares at an aggregate cost of $200.8 million and an average price of $19.01 per common share. Included in subsequent common shares repurchased were 8,597,170 common shares from CVC at $19.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $163.3 million in a privately negotiated transaction. The unutilized amount of the share repurchase authorization at March 3, 2026 was $217.7 million.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Dividend payments to the common shareholders*: During the year ended December 31, 2025, we paid quarterly cash dividends of $52.3 million (2024: $46.2 million) to our common shareholders.

*Debt issuance:* On June 13, 2025, the Group issued $400.0 million of its 7.750% Fixed-Rate Reset Subordinated Notes due June 15, 2055 (the "Subordinated Notes"), with interest payable on June 15 and December 15 of each year, which commenced on December 15, 2025. For further details related to the issuance of the Subordinated Notes, see Note 11 (Long Term Debt and Preference Securities) of our audited consolidated financial statements.

*Long-term debt*: At December 31, 2025, FIHL had $843.2 million in debt outstanding. For the year ended December 31, 2025, FIHL incurred interest expense of $41.4 million on outstanding debt. Such debt is comprised $330.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.875% Senior Notes due June 30, 2030 (the "Senior Notes"), $125.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.625% Fixed-Rate Reset Junior Subordinated Notes due April 1, 2041 (the "Junior Notes") and Subordinated Notes. Other than the Senior Notes, the Subordinated Notes and the Junior Notes, FIHL has no material debt outstanding.

*Preference securities*: On June 13, 2025, the Group redeemed its Series A Preference Securities at their liquidation preference of $58.4 million plus a make-whole payment of $1.2 million. At December 31, 2025, there were no Series A Preference Securities outstanding and no other outstanding amounts are payable to holders of the Series A Preference Securities.

------

*Access to capital*: Our business operations are in part dependent on our financial strength and the opinions of the independent rating agencies thereof. We believe our financial strength provides us with the flexibility and capacity to obtain funds through debt or equity financing as required from the public and private markets. Our ability to access the capital markets is dependent on, among other things, our operating results, market conditions, and our perceived financial strength. We regularly monitor our capital and financial position, as well as investment and securities market conditions.

*Ratings:* Our financial strength ratings as determined by AM Best, Standard & Poor's and Moody's provide an independent assessment of our financial strength and ability to meet policyholder obligations. There have been no material changes to our financial strength ratings during the year ended December 31, 2025. See Item 4.B. Business Overview "Financial Strength Ratings" for further discussion of ratings assigned to the Group's insurance operating subsidiaries.

*Inflation:* We consider the effects of inflation in pricing our contracts and policies through modeled components such as demand surge. Loss reserves are established to recognize likely loss settlements at the date payment is made. Those reserves inherently recognize the effects of inflation. The actual effects of inflation on our results cannot be accurately known, however, until claims are ultimately resolved.

***Cash Flows***

The following table summarizes our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2025** | **2024** | **2023** |
| Net cash provided by/(used in) operating activities | $(408.3) | $618.2 | $495.2 |
| Net cash provided by/(used in) investing activities | 682.7 | (475.8) | (834.9) |
| Net cash provided by/(used in) financing activities | 19.8 | (153.9) | (106.9) |
| Effect of exchange rate changes on foreign currency cash | 6.8 | (6.0) | 2.8 |
| Net increase/(decrease) in cash, restricted cash, and cash equivalents | $301.0 | $(17.5) | $(443.8) |

---

Cash flows from operating activities can fluctuate due to timing differences between the collection of premiums and reinsurance recoverables, the payment of losses and loss adjustment expenses, the payment of premiums to reinsurers and operating expenses. The operating cash outflows for the year ended December 31, 2025, primarily related to payments for the Aviation litigation settlements and claims in respect of the Ukraine Conflict, including the judgment handed down by the English High Court, and for the California wildfire claims, exceeding premium receipts, commissions and outward reinsurance premiums. The positive operating cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 primarily related to premium receipts exceeding payments for claims, commissions and outward reinsurance premiums.

Cash provided by investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2025 reflected the proceeds from the maturities and sales of fixed maturity securities related to the payments for settlements and claims, partially offset by use of cash to purchase fixed maturity securities. Cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 reflected the use of cash to purchase available-for-sale securities at attractive investment yields, partially offset by the proceeds from the sales and maturities of available-for-sale securities. Cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2023 reflected the use of cash to purchase available-for-sale securities at attractive investment yields, partially offset by the proceeds from the sales and maturities of available-for-sale securities.

Cash provided by financing activities in the year ended December 31, 2025 primarily consisted of cash inflows of $393.3 million from the proceeds from issuance of debt, net of issuance costs, partially offset by cash outflows of $261.4 million from common share repurchases, $59.6 million from the repurchase of preferred securities and $52.3 million from dividends paid to common shareholders. Cash used in financing activities in the year ended December 31, 2024 primarily consisted of cash outflows of $105.5 million from common share repurchases, including expenses, and $46.2 million from dividends paid to common shareholders. Cash used in financing activities in the year ended December 31, 2023 primarily consisted of a cash outflow of $105.5 million from disposal of The Fidelis Partnership, $50.6 million of employer tax on restricted share units and $34.1 million of cumulative dividends on warrants, partially offset by net proceeds from our initial public offering of $89.4 million.

***Letter of Credit Facilities*** 

We routinely enter into agreements with financial institutions to obtain secured and unsecured letter of credit facilities. These facilities are primarily used for the issuance of letters of credit to certain reinsurance entities which require us to post collateral. This is in order for these reinsurance counterparties to be able to take credit under local insurance regulations for the reinsurance protection obtained from companies located in jurisdictions which are not licensed or otherwise admitted as an insurer.

------

The following table summarizes the outstanding letters of credit at December 31, 2025:

---

**D. Trend Information**

In the year ended December 31, 2025 and the January 2026 renewal period, there continued to be meaningful opportunities to write business at attractive margins, supported by pricing levels and improvements to terms and conditions established over the prior years and post-loss opportunity. While pricing moderated from peak levels in certain segments, overall price adequacy across the portfolio remained strong.

Market discipline was uneven across the year-end 2025 and January 2026 renewals; however, carriers with lead positions, the ability to deploy meaningful capacity, and strong relationships with clients and brokers were able to differentiate themselves, securing favorable terms, conditions and signings. Margins on new and renewal business remained attractive, and key structural protections – including terms, conditions, retentions and attachment points – continued to be largely upheld, despite pockets of pricing pressure.

We believe opportunities to write attractive business will persist, driven by structural factors including, climate change, loss volatility, capacity constraints in certain segments, economic and social inflation, geopolitical uncertainty and inadequate casualty reserving (which casualty reserving does not affect us, as historically we have not written any traditional casualty classes), which will continue to reinforce the need for disciplined risk transfer.

Over the course of the past decade, we have established ourselves as a market leader, creating a strong, highly diversified portfolio focused on Insurance and Reinsurance. We believe that we are well placed to take advantage of the current market environment, given our strategic focus on: profitable underwriting, while maintaining flexibility to manage through the cycle; efficient operations, by sustaining strong alignment and growing relationships with strategic partners and delivering a diversified portfolio across our targeted classes of business; actively managing capital through the cycle; and maintaining a relatively conservative investment portfolio earning attractive market yields.

For a discussion of known trends, uncertainties and other events that have impacted or may have a material impact on the Group, see Item 5.A. Operating Results. See also Explanatory Note "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" and Item 3.D. Risk Factors for a discussion of risks affecting the Group and its business, including certain conditions referenced above such as climate change, economic and social inflation and geopolitical uncertainties.

**E. Critical Accounting Estimates**

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to written and earned premiums, reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses, reinsurance balances recoverable on reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses, fair value measurements of fixed maturity available-for-sale investments, and income tax expense. We base our estimates on historical experience, where possible, and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, which form the basis for our judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results will differ from these estimates and such differences may be material. We believe that the significant accounting policies set forth in Item 18 Financial Statements, Note 2 (Significant Accounting Policies) to our audited consolidated financial statements describe significant estimates used in the preparation of our audited consolidated financial statements as set out in more detail below.

***Written and earned premiums***

Insurance premiums can be written on a fixed premium basis or proportional basis. Fixed premium policies are written through managing general agents in accordance with underwriting guidelines and are recorded based on monthly statements received from

------

managing general agents or best estimates based on historical experience. We also write insurance business on a line slip or proportional basis, where we assume an agreed portion of the premiums and losses of a particular risk or group of risks along with unrelated insurers. Premiums for these policies are estimated at inception based on estimates provided by clients through brokers. We review such estimates on a quarterly basis and any adjustments are recognized in the period in which they are determined.

Reinsurance contracts provide cover to cedants on an excess of loss or proportional basis. Excess of loss contracts typically include minimum or deposit premiums. For such contracts, minimum or deposit premiums are generally considered to be the best estimate of premiums at the inception of the contract. The minimum or deposit premium is usually adjusted at the end of the contract period to reflect changes in the underlying risks during the contract period. Any adjustments to minimum or deposit premiums are recognized in the period in which they are determined. For proportional reinsurance contracts, premiums are recognized at the inception of the policy based on estimates received from the cedant or broker. These estimates take into account our experience with the ceding companies, familiarity with each market and line of business, and management's judgment on the volume of business ceded to us. Such premium estimates are reviewed on a quarterly basis and updated when estimates are changed or actual amounts are determined.

We record premiums written upon inception of the policy. Premiums written are earned on a basis consistent with risks covered over the period during which the coverage is provided. Fixed premium policies and excess of loss reinsurance contracts are earned consistent with the risks covered over the term of the contract, which is generally 12 months. Proportional insurance and reinsurance contracts are generally written on a "risks attaching" basis, covering claims that relate to the underlying policies written during the terms of these contracts. As the underlying business incepts throughout the contract term which is typically one year, and the underlying business typically has a one-year coverage period, these premiums are generally earned over a 24-month period. The portion of the premiums written applicable to the unexpired terms of the underlying contracts and policies are recorded as unearned premiums on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Reinstatement premiums are recognized as written and earned after the occurrence of a loss and are recorded in accordance with the contract terms based upon management's estimate of losses and loss adjustment expenses.

Acquisition costs are directly related to the acquisition of insurance premiums and are deferred and amortized over the related policy period. We only defer acquisition costs incurred that are directly attributable to the successful acquisition of new or renewal insurance contracts, including commissions to TFP, agents and brokers, and premium taxes. All other acquisition-related expenses, including indirect costs, are expensed as incurred. To the extent that future policy revenues on existing policies are not adequate to cover related costs and expenses, deferred policy acquisition costs are charged to earnings.

We evaluate premium deficiency and the recoverability of deferred acquisition costs by determining if the sum of future earned premiums and anticipated investment return is greater than expected future losses and loss adjustment expenses and acquisition costs.

***Reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses***

Our liability for losses and loss adjustment expenses includes reserves for reported claims and for losses incurred but not reported. These estimates are net of amounts estimated to be recoverable from salvage and subrogation. The reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses is established by management based on reports from insureds, brokers, ceding companies and the application of generally accepted actuarial techniques and represents the estimated ultimate cost of events or conditions that have been reported to or specifically identified by Fidelis as incurred.

Inherent in the estimates of ultimate losses and loss adjustment expenses are expected trends in claim severity, and frequency of large losses and catastrophes, which may vary significantly as claims are settled. We estimate ultimate losses using various actuarial methods as well as our own loss experience, historical insurance industry loss experience, estimates of pricing adequacy trends and management's professional judgment. The estimated cost of claims includes expenses to be incurred in settling claims and a deduction for the expected value of salvage, subrogation and other recoveries. Ultimate losses and loss adjustment expenses may differ significantly from the amount recorded in the financial statements. These estimates are reviewed regularly and as experience develops and new information becomes known, the reserves are adjusted as necessary. Such adjustments, if any, are recorded in losses and loss adjustment expenses in the periods in which they are determined. For further discussion of the actuarial methodologies utilized to perform our losses and loss adjustment expenses reserving analysis, see Item 18 Financial Statements, Note 9 (Reserves for Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses) to our audited consolidated financial statements.

Reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses represent our best estimate of the ultimate cost of settling reported and unreported claims and related expenses. The estimation of losses and loss expense reserves is based on various complex and subjective judgments. Actual losses and settlement expenses which are ultimately required to be paid may deviate, perhaps substantially, from the reserve estimates reflected in our financial statements. Similarly, the timing for payment of our estimated losses is not fixed and is not determinable on an individual or aggregate basis. The assumptions used in estimating the payments due by period are based predominantly on industry data overlaid with management experience. Due to the uncertainty inherent in the process of estimating the timing of such payments, there is a risk that the amounts paid in any period can be significantly different.

------

The breakdown of our reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses between outstanding claims and IBNR for the relevant period end was as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **December 31, 2025** | **December 31, 2024** |
| Gross outstanding | $1253.6 | $1109.3 |
| Gross IBNR | 1353.5 | 2025.0 |
| **Gross Reserves** | $**2607.1** | $**3134.3** |
| **% IBNR** | **52%** | **65%** |

---

Potential Variability in Loss Reserves: The table below summarizes the effect of reasonably likely scenarios on the key actuarial assumptions used to estimate our loss reserves, net of reinsurance balances recoverable on unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses for our segments at December 31, 2025. The scenarios in this table summarize the effect of (i) changes to the expected loss ratio selections used at December 31, 2025, which represent loss ratio point increases or decreases to the expected loss ratios used, and (ii) changes to the loss development patterns used in our reserving process at December 31, 2025, which represent claims reporting that is either slower or faster than the reporting patterns used. We believe that the illustrated sensitivities are indicative of the potential variability inherent in the estimation process of those parameters. The results show the impact of varying each key actuarial assumption using the chosen sensitivity on our IBNR reserves, on a net basis and across all accident years.

Each of the impacts summarized in the table below is estimated individually and without consideration for any correlation among key assumptions or among lines of business. Therefore, it would be inappropriate to take each of the amounts and add them together to estimate total volatility. While we believe the variations in the expected loss ratios and loss development patterns presented could be reasonably expected, our own historical data regarding variability is generally limited and actual variations may be greater or less than these amounts. It is also important to note that the variations are not meant to be a "best-case" or "worst-case" series of scenarios and, therefore, it is possible that future variations in our loss reserves may be more or less than the amounts set forth below. While we believe that these are reasonably likely scenarios, we do not believe this sensitivity analysis should be considered an actual reserve range.

***Reinsurance balances recoverable on reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses***

We seek to reduce the risk of net losses on business written and manage our capital by ceding certain risks and exposures to other reinsurers. We also purchase reinsurance protection to limit losses from catastrophic events and to reduce loss aggregation risk. Outwards reinsurance contracts do not relieve us of our primary obligation to insureds. Consequently, we are exposed to credit risk associated with reinsurance recoverable on reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses.

The recognition of reinsurance recoverable requires two estimates:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The most significant estimate is the amount of loss reserves to be ceded to our reinsurers. This amount consists of reinsurance recoverable related to reported claims and losses incurred but not reported. This estimate is developed as part of our loss reserving process and its estimation is subject to similar risks and uncertainties as the estimation of our reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The second estimate is the amount of reinsurance recoverable that we believe will not be collected from reinsurers. At December 31, 2025, the allowance for expected credit losses was $1.2 million (December 31, 2024: $1.0 million).

------

***Fair value measurements of fixed maturity investments, available-for-sale, and other investments***

Our fixed maturity securities portfolio compromises U.S. Treasuries, non-U.S. government bonds, government agency bonds, corporate bonds, mortgage and other asset-backed securities. Investments in fixed maturity securities are reported at estimated fair value in our audited consolidated financial statements. The methods used to determine fair value of our fixed maturity securities are described in Item 18 Financial Statements, Note 5 (Fair Value Measurements) to our audited consolidated financial statements.

FASB ASC Topic 820-10 specifies a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to the respective valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to valuation techniques that use at least one significant input that is unobservable (Level 3).

In order to determine if a market is active or inactive for a security, we consider a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the frequency of transactions, the size of the bid-ask spread and the amount of adjustment necessary when comparing similar transactions.

At December 31, 2025, we classified $nil (December 31, 2024: $nil) of our fixed maturity securities at fair value on a recurring basis using level 3 inputs.

Other investments comprise fixed income funds, hedge funds and private credit funds that are valued at fair value using net asset value per share as reported by the investment managers and administrators. Refer to Note 4 (Investments) to our audited consolidated financial statements for further details.

***Income tax expense***

Deferred tax assets and liabilities result from temporary differences between the amounts recorded in our consolidated financial statements and the tax basis of our assets and liabilities. Such temporary differences are primarily due to net operating losses carried forward, and with respect to the implementation of the Bermuda corporate income tax, differences between the U.S. GAAP basis and tax basis of reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses, and intangible assets. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax laws or tax rates is recognized in the period in which the change is enacted. A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets where the Group considers that it is more likely than not that these assets will not be recovered against future taxable income from each tax-paying entity in each tax jurisdiction. Significant judgments, assumptions and estimates which are inherently subjective are required in determining income tax expense, the deferred tax impact of a change in laws, and valuation allowances.

At December 31, 2025, we recorded a net deferred tax asset of $105.7 million and valuation allowance of $2.2 million (December 31, 2024: $118.9 million and $2.2 million, respectively), as discussed in Note 18 (Income Taxes) of our audited consolidated financial statements. The most significant component of the net deferred tax asset at December 31, 2025 was related to the enactment of corporate income tax in Bermuda. The Bermuda Corporate Income Tax Act 2023 ("Bermuda CIT Act") allows companies to elect to calculate an Economic Transition Adjustment ("ETA") based on the fair value of the assets and liabilities of FIBL at September 30, 2023. Under the Bermuda CIT Act, fair value is as defined under U.S. GAAP. The ETA deferred tax asset is expected to be utilized over a fifteen-year period, with substantially all of the deferred tax asset utilized by December 31, 2034.

The deferred tax asset on the ETA comprises fair value adjustments for intangible assets, reserves for losses and loss adjustment expense, and unearned premiums. The fair values were estimated using a multi-period excess earnings model and discounted cash flow model. The most significant assumptions utilized in the models included the future revenue and profits of FIBL, the discount rates, and the levels of capital that a market participant would require to underwrite the business.

FIHL, FUL and FSL are tax resident in the U.K. and are subject to relevant taxes in the U.K. The 2023 and 2024 tax years are open to examination in the U.K. FIID is tax resident in the Republic of Ireland. The 2021 to 2024 tax years are open to examination in Ireland. As of the date of this report, we do not expect the resolution of these open years to have a significant impact on our results of operations or financial condition.

At December 31, 2025, the Group had unrecognized tax benefits of $75.0 million.

Other than these arrangements, there are no arrangements or understandings with major shareholders, customers, suppliers or others pursuant to which any director or senior manager of Fidelis Insurance Group was selected for such position.

**B. Compensation**

***Non-Executive Directors' Compensation***

*Cash Compensation*

The non-executive directors of the Group are entitled to receive an annual cash fee for their services as directors, which is prorated for any directors who are appointed to the Board after the beginning of the fiscal year. Additionally, any non-executive director that acts as Chair of the Board or Chair of a Committee receives an additional cash fee. The non-executive directors appointed by shareholders who enjoy director appointment rights are only entitled to cash compensation.

In the case of non-executive directors appointed by shareholders who enjoy director appointment rights, all compensation payable to such non-executive directors is paid directly to such relevant shareholder. The aggregate cash compensation paid to the non-executive directors of the Group in the year ended December 31, 2025 was $1.8 million, in addition to reimbursements for all reasonable and properly documented business expenses, including travel and other related expenses incurred by the non-executive directors while attending Board meetings.

*Equity-Based Compensation*

All non-executive directors, other than the non-executive directors appointed by shareholders who enjoy director appointment rights, are entitled to receive equity-based compensation pursuant to our 2023 Share Incentive Plan (as defined in Note 17 (Share Compensation and Employee Benefit Plans) of our audited consolidated financial statements), in addition to cash compensation. For the year ended December 31, 2025, those non-executive directors of the Group who are entitled to receive equity compensation were issued 40,689 common shares in respect of restricted share units under our 2023 Share Incentive Plan that are subject to time-based vesting criteria, and the Group recorded a compensation expense of $0.6 million related to these shares.

During periods preceding March 31, 2025 and in which Mr. Collis was a partner of Conyers, fees related to Mr. Collis' service as a director (including cash and equity-based compensation) were paid to the account of Conyers. Such fees were paid directly to Mr. Collis during periods on and after March 31, 2025, because Mr. Collis was no longer a Conyers partner at the time such fees became payable.

***Senior Management Compensation***

Our compensation philosophy for our senior managers is designed to align the interests of our senior managers with those of our shareholders by offering a compensation package that is intended to attract and retain superior personnel whose services are intended to generate long-term returns for our shareholders. The primary elements of the total compensation package for our senior managers include base salary, annual discretionary cash bonus awards under our annual cash bonus program (as described below), and equity awards granted pursuant to our 2023 Share Incentive Plan (the "LTIP Awards").

The Compensation Committee considers a number of factors when establishing the total compensation package for our senior managers, including the compensation provided by a peer group of companies that was previously identified by the Compensation Committee, internal compensation benchmarking and other third-party information. The total compensation package is intended to have the potential to deliver, in the aggregate, an above-market level of compensation for outstanding performance.

The compensation program for our senior managers is administered by the compensation committee of the Board (the "Compensation Committee"), as discussed under "Board Practices – Compensation Committee" below. In connection with the administration of our compensation program, the Compensation Committee may consider the input of our Chief Executive Officer on other senior manager compensation matters. The Compensation Committee may accept or adjust such Chief Executive Officer input at its discretion.

------

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the aggregate compensation received by the members of senior management of the Group was $18.0 million, as set forth in the table below. For any senior manager who was also a director of the Group in the year ended December 31, 2025, no additional compensation was paid for their service as director.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the executive directors and senior management identified in Item 6.A had the following aggregate compensation:

***Senior Management Compensation Components***

*Base Salary and Annual Cash Bonus*

The base salary amounts that our Compensation Committee establishes for our senior managers are intended to be in line with the median of our peer group and are subject to cost of living increases based on third-party information and other internal considerations.

The purpose of our annual cash bonus program is to reward senior managers for achievement against key financial and non-financial operational goals that are intended to help drive long-term business strategy and be predicates of shareholder value. The targeted amount of our senior managers' annual bonuses is determined by the Compensation Committee based upon a participant's prior year performance, role and level of seniority within the Group and other market and benchmarking factors. The Compensation Committee approves the annual bonus payments for the Chief Executive Officer and based upon input from the Chief Executive Officer, which the Compensation Committee may accept or adjust in its discretion, with respect to each of the other eligible senior managers.

Bonuses are generally based on a formulaic calculation, but remain entirely discretionary. The Compensation Committee intends that this design of the annual cash bonus program will enable senior managers (i) to be confident that an even-handed approach has been taken and (ii) to readily understand the effect of financial and personal performance on their bonuses. Two core elements are assessed by the Compensation Committee when determining the bonuses: (x) financial performance of the Group ("Financial Performance") and (y) the senior manager's strategic and personal performance ("Personal Performance"). The weighting of each element is based on pre-determined percentage allocations that are generally based on 75% weighting for Financial Performance and 25% weighting for Personal Performance in the case of our senior managers.

For purposes of the annual cash bonus pool calculation, Financial Performance is based on achievement of the Group's business plan (which is based on return on equity for 2025) then in force. If the Financial Performance is below the minimum payout level, then payment of an annual cash bonus to any senior manager will be discretionary. Personal Performance is based upon individual achievement of clearly articulated objectives created and agreed to at the beginning of the year. The annual cash bonus is designed to operate in such a way that the Personal Performance element of the bonus will be funded if the predetermined threshold performance target is met for the Financial Performance element of the annual cash bonus. In order to determine the Personal Performance element of the bonus, the Chief Executive Officer is responsible for agreeing to key goals for each of the eligible senior managers, including himself, which goals include specific objectives relating to each senior manager's division in respect of the business plan then in force. An overall Personal Performance rating is determined based on achievement of these key objectives and based on the relevant senior manager's demonstrated commitment to the Group's culture, and their effectiveness as a manager and leader.

The annual cash bonus targets are proposed by the Chief Executive Officer and approved or adjusted by the Compensation Committee, in its discretion, towards the beginning of each year when the information necessary to compute the bonuses has been obtained. Once approved, the bonuses are typically paid within the first quarter of each year following the relevant fiscal year in which they were

------

earned. In order to receive an annual cash bonus, a senior manager must be employed and not under notice on the day of payment, unless such senior manager has officially retired or been made redundant after the end of the fiscal year to which such bonus relates.

The annual bonus award payouts are subject to any applicable incentive compensation clawback or recoupment policy adopted and maintained by the Group from time to time.

*2023 Share Incentive Plan* 

In 2023, our Board adopted, and our shareholders approved, the 2023 Share Incentive Plan (the "2023 Plan") in connection with the Separation Transactions. Each employee, officer, non-executive director or other individual service provider of the Group or its affiliates is eligible to participate in the 2023 Plan. The design of the 2023 Plan is intended to create a strong and long-term alignment between our management team and our shareholders.

Our Compensation Committee administers the 2023 Plan under delegation from the Board. The size and form of the LTIP Awards granted under the 2023 Plan is determined by the Compensation Committee based upon a participant's prior year performance, role and level of seniority within the Group and other market and benchmarking factors. The LTIP Awards may be delivered in the form of restricted share units, restricted common shares, share options, share appreciation rights and other awards which may be denominated in common shares or cash. The LTIP Awards granted in 2025 consisted of time-based and performance-based restricted share units. The LTIP Awards relate to our common shares and generally vest over a three-year period, subject to continued service and the achievement of performance goals (which, in the case of performance-based restricted share units, are based on return on equity and the ratio of our share price to its book value). All LTIP Awards are governed by the 2023 Plan and are evidenced by an individual LTIP Award agreement between FIHL and the individual.

The LTIP Awards are subject to any applicable incentive compensation clawback or recoupment policy adopted and maintained by the Group from time to time. The 2023 Plan may be amended by the Compensation Committee at any time, and unless sooner terminated, will terminate on the day before the 10th anniversary of the date our shareholders approved the 2023 Plan.

**Retention Program**

During the year ended December 31, 2025, our Compensation Committee approved a retention program pursuant to which certain employees of the Group who are eligible to participate in the 2023 Plan received a one-time grant of restricted share units (the "Retention RSUs"). The Retention RSUs generally vest over a three-year period with (i) 25% of the award vesting at the conclusion of the first year, (ii) 25% of the award vesting at the conclusion of the second year, and (iii) 50% of the award vesting at the conclusion of the third year, in each case, subject to the relevant employee's continued employment through the applicable vest date.

**Employment Agreements**

We have entered into employment agreements with each of our senior managers. The employment agreements set forth each senior manager's initial base salary and eligibility for an annual cash bonus and may include, among other terms and conditions, certain customary severance and change of control benefits, including as described under "—Severance." The employment agreements also contain limitations on outside activities, confidentiality obligations, and covenants restricting the solicitation of employees and customers, as well as certain non-compete restrictions following termination of employment.

The employment agreements with certain members of our executive leadership team were amended in 2023 to provide for market-competitive severance protections (as described under "—Severance"), which severance would be subject to the employee's execution, delivery and non-revocation of a general release of claims in a form satisfactory to the Group, and would be in addition to any mandatory notice and/or severance required by the laws of the relevant jurisdiction.

*Severance*

Certain employment agreements with members of our senior management team provide for various severance benefits upon a qualifying termination of such senior manager's employment, as summarized below.

In the event of a termination of employment by us without cause or by the employee for good reason (not in connection with or within 12 months following a change in control), or due to the employee's death or disability, certain members of our senior management team would be entitled to the following severance protections:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• payment of one month of severance for each month of completed service with us, up to a maximum of 12 months' severance;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• payment of any earned but unpaid bonus within 30 days of the date of termination for the year prior to the year in which such date of termination occurs; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• payment of a prorated bonus for the year in which such termination occurs, based on actual performance and paid at the same time as bonuses are paid to similarly situated employees.

------

In the event of a termination of employment by us without cause, or by the employee for good reason, in each case, in connection with or within 12 months following a change in control, certain members of our senior management team would be entitled to the following severance protections:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• payment of one month of base salary for each month of completed service with us, up to a maximum of 24 months base salary;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• payment of any earned but unpaid bonus within 30 days of the date of termination for the year prior to the year in which such date of termination occurs; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a lump sum payment equal to 100% of the target bonus for the year in which such termination occurs, without regard to actual performance outcomes, paid at the same time as bonuses are paid to similarly situated employees.

The annual bonus award payouts are subject to any clawback in the event it is later discovered that the terminated senior management member engaged in misconduct that would have entitled the Company to terminate such individual for cause.

The treatment of a senior manager's LTIP Awards in connection with a termination of employment will be as specified in the senior manager's individual LTIP Award agreements (which treatment may for certain LTIP Awards result in pro-rata vesting of the LTIP Awards upon (among other events, such as death or disability) a termination of employment by us without cause (and in some cases a resignation for good reason) prior to a change in control of the Company and full vesting of the LTIP Awards in the event of a termination of employment by us without cause following a change in control of the Company).

**Retirement Plans**

We offer eligible staff the choice of making contributions into our relevant retirement plans, subject to applicable pension rules. To the extent permitted by the applicable rules in the relevant jurisdiction in which the Group has participating employees, eligible participants receive a Company pension contribution of either 10% or 12% of annual base salary (subject to the salary threshold of the employee) by the relevant operating subsidiary of the Group, subject to the limitations of the laws of the relevant jurisdiction.

**Share Ownership Guidelines**

We have adopted share ownership guidelines applicable to our non-employee directors, executive officers, and other senior leaders to further align their long-term financial interests with those of our shareholders. The guidelines provide for minimum ownership requirements equal to (i) 2x the annual retainer fee for our non-employee directors, (ii) 6x annual base salary for our Chief Executive Officer, (iii) 3x annual base salary for members of our senior management, and (iv) 1x annual base salary for other senior leaders designated by our Compensation Committee.

Individuals subject to the guidelines have five years from first becoming subject to the guidelines to meet their minimum ownership requirement and one year to meet any increased requirement resulting from an increase in annual base salary or retainer. The Compensation Committee retains discretion to determine whether any action is appropriate if an individual does not achieve (or fails to maintain) the applicable ownership level, including requiring that a portion of base salary or bonus be paid in common shares. See also Item 6.E. Share Ownership and Item 7.B. Related Party Transactions, below.

**Clawback Policy**

On November 14, 2023, we adopted a clawback policy that is intended to comply with Section 10D of the Exchange Act and the listing standards of the NYSE. Under the clawback policy, we must recoup erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation from our current and former senior managers on a pre-tax basis, subject to limited exceptions, in the event that we are required to prepare an accounting restatement. See Exhibit 97.1 to this report for a copy of the policy, originally filed as Exhibit 97.1 of our Annual Report on Form 20-F, filed with the SEC on March 15, 2024.

**C. Board Practices**

As of the date of this report, the Board consists of 11 directors (see Item 6.A. Directors, Senior Management and Employees above).

In accordance with our Amended and Restated Bye-Laws, our directors are divided into three classes serving staggered three-year terms.

**D. Employees**

At December 31, 2025, we employed 108 persons, of which 25 were in Bermuda, 66 were in the United Kingdom and 17 were in Ireland. Of these, 20 worked primarily in insurance business related functions, such as actuarial, claims, risk and underwriting; 27 worked primarily in operational functions, such as business operations, facilities, office management and IT; 27 worked primarily in finance functions, such as capital management, finance, treasury and investments; and 34 worked primarily in support and other functions, such as audit, compliance, HR, investor relations, chief executive office and legal.

**E. Share Ownership**

See Item 6.B. Compensation and Item 7.A. Major Shareholders.

**F. Disclosure of a Registrant's Action to Recover Erroneously Awarded Compensation**

**Item 7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions**

**A. Major Shareholders**

The following table sets forth certain information regarding the beneficial ownership of common shares at December 31, 2025 by (i) each person who is known by us to beneficially own more than 5.0% of the common shares; (ii) each of our directors; and (iii) all of our directors and senior managers as a group.

Beneficial ownership for the purposes of the following table is determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. These rules generally provide that a person is the beneficial owner of securities if such person has or shares the power to vote or direct the voting of such securities, or to dispose or direct the disposition of such securities, or has the right to acquire such securities or such powers within 60 days.

To our knowledge, except as disclosed in the footnotes to the following table and subject to applicable community property laws, we believe that each beneficial owner identified in the table possesses sole voting and investment power over all common shares shown as beneficially owned by such beneficial owner.

------

For purposes of the table below, the percentage ownership calculations for beneficial ownership are based on 86,480,145 common shares outstanding at March 3, 2026.

**Framework Agreement and the Delegated Underwriting Authority Agreements**

On December 20, 2022, the Group and TFP entered into a rolling 10-year framework agreement (the "Framework Agreement"), effective January 1, 2023, that establishes the overarching parameters of the outsourced underwriting relationship between Fidelis and TFP, which is more specifically governed on a jurisdictional basis by a series of delegated underwriting authority agreements that became effective on January 1, 2023 (the "Delegated Underwriting Authority Agreements"). This summary of the Framework Agreement and the Delegated Underwriting Authority Agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete texts of these agreements attached as Exhibits 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 and 4.5 to this report.

***Scope of Delegation***

The Framework Agreement and the Delegated Underwriting Authority Agreements provide for, on a jurisdictional basis, the delegation of underwriting authority from each of the relevant insurance operating subsidiaries of the Group to the relevant subsidiaries of TFP, subject to certain consent rights held by the Group with respect to sub-delegating arrangements by TFP.

Specifically, each Delegated Underwriting Authority Agreement includes the provision of certain services by the applicable operating subsidiary of TFP to the applicable operating insurance subsidiary of the Group, including underwriting services, actuarial services, claims handling, outwards reinsurance, and other ancillary services.

The limits of TFP's delegated authority for the respective underwriting year, including the agreed underwriting parameters and risk tolerances and the manner in which insurance and reinsurance risks are underwritten pursuant to the Delegated Underwriting Authority Agreements, are agreed by TFP and the Group annually.

In addition, the parties to each Delegated Underwriting Authority Agreement will annually agree, the limits of the applicable party's delegated authority for the respective underwriting year, which may be reviewed and amended subject to approval by the Joint Approval Group (as defined below) or, to the extent such amendments are material and not otherwise approved by the Joint Approval Group, the Chief Executive Officers of the parties. Each such agreed limits shall be eligible for renewal for successive years, as adjusted for any changes implemented as a result of any review initiated by either party to the applicable Delegated Underwriting Authority Agreement.

Each Delegated Underwriting Authority Agreement sets out certain specified lines of business TFP is authorized to write, provided that it remains within the risk appetite set by the Group and its AM Best's Capital Adequacy Ratio and S&P scores as determined by reference to certain pre-determined underwriting parameters. If TFP wishes to write business in excess of such underwriting parameters, it is required to submit such request for the corresponding operating subsidiary's consideration, with such approval being initially sought via the Joint Approval Group.

This delegated authority also covers the placement of outwards reinsurance on the Group's behalf within the pre-agreed underwriting parameters and in line with the Solvency II directive eligibility requirements for risk mitigation techniques, although the Group retains ultimate decision-making authority for all outwards reinsurance. See Item 4.B. Business Overview "Business Segments—Reinsurance."

***Joint Approval Group***

Pursuant to the Framework Agreement and the Delegated Underwriting Authority Agreements, the Group and TFP established a forum to discuss and resolve any issues arising under each agreement (the "Joint Approval Group"), which the Group and TFP are required to notify in writing as soon as reasonably practicable if they become aware of any event which requires the forum's deliberation. The Joint Approval Group will then use its best endeavors for a period of up to 30 days to resolve the issue presented to it. If the Joint Approval Group fails to reach an agreement by that deadline, one or more of the parties to the affected Delegated Underwriting Authority Agreement will have termination rights. See "—Termination."

***Exclusivity, Rights of First Offer and Rights of First Refusal***

In the event that the Group identifies capital or risk appetite in excess of the pre-agreed parameters, including appetite for a line of business that falls outside of the pre-agreed list ("New LOB"), TFP shall have a right of first offer ("ROFO") to underwrite such opportunity or New LOB for and on behalf of the Group. To exercise its ROFO, TFP will need to provide the Group with certain

------

business and underwriting plans containing specified details related to such capital, risk appetite proposal or New LOB capital utilization. The Group, acting reasonably, may decline TFP's ROFO and source the opportunity from a third party, subject to presenting its own business and underwriting plans containing the same specified minimum details as TFP's business and underwriting plans and comply with certain other consulting and advisory requirements with respect to such opportunity.

If TFP identifies an opportunity to underwrite business that falls outside of the pre-agreed capital or risk appetite parameters, TFP is required to give the Group a right of first refusal ("ROFR") on such additional business, subject to certain requirements set forth in the Framework Agreement.

In the event that TFP identifies a potential demand for a New LOB, the Group shall have a ROFR to provide capacity for such New LOB and such ROFR shall follow the same procedures.

If either the Group or TFP rejects the other party's proposal pursuant to the ROFO or ROFR process, the relevant party will not have the right to later request the opportunity to underwrite or provide capacity for (as applicable) the rejected business, which will stay with the relevant third party insurer or managing general underwriters (as applicable), for so long as such party elects to take it up.

To the extent any ROFO or ROFR process results in TFP being allocated increased or differently distributed capacity, such increase will be deemed included in that year's pre-agreed underwriting parameters and limits and will be included in setting the same for the following year.

***Fees and Commissions***

Pursuant to the Framework Agreement, TFP is entitled to the following fees and commissions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Ceding commissions, payable monthly in arrears, are charged for underwriting, claims and actuarial pricing services and are calculated based on net premiums written (gross of acquisition costs) to facilitate alignment on reinsurance purchasing. To avoid fee duplication, ceding commissions payable for open market business sourced by TFP are set at 11.5% and ceding commissions payable for business sourced by TFP via third party managing general agents to whom underwriting authority has been sub-delegated by TFP pursuant to newly established third party managing general agency relationships are set at 3.0%. Business that continues to be sourced by cells of Pine Walk Capital Limited continues to follow the fees and commissions set under those agreements, which fees and commissions are in line with normal market ranges, but without any additional fee levied by TFP.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The sum of 20% of the "Operating Profit" of the Group above an annual "Binder ROE" (each as defined in the Framework Agreement) hurdle of 5% hurdle rate is payable at the end of each fiscal year to ensure alignment with the portfolio management value proposition.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A 3.0% portfolio management fee calculated based on net premiums written.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Overriding commissions (both ceding commissions and profit commissions) on outwards reinsurance quota share arrangements for newly sourced business to cover the cost of origination and the ongoing management of such contracts. The Group retains 1% of all premium ceded under the quota share contracts to cover its tail and credit risk and also retains all overriders paid by the reinsurers to cover acquisition costs in certain lines of business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Fees in respect of run-off services, which will be mutually agreed and/or determined at the time of termination with reference to the scope of ongoing run-off services and percentage of reserves based on available benchmarks.

Additionally, underwriting expenses directly related to the placement of an individual (re)insurance contract, including counsel fees or fees relating to third party diligence, are recoverable by TFP from the Group.

***Licensing Arrangements***

As part of the Separation Transactions, existing technology platforms, including Tyche capital models, the Prequel Policy Administration system, the Jarvis Data Warehouse, and the FireAnt Analytics system, were transferred to TFP. Under the Framework Agreement, TFP provides the Group with a license in respect of this technology, so that the Group can continue to benefit from its use and outputs. Certain third-party vendor-owned tools and systems are also licensed to the Group thereunder via TFP. The "Fidelis" name, certain trademarks in the U.K. and E.U., proprietary branding and other protectable signs are likewise subject to licensing by TFP in favor of the Group.

***Term***

The Framework Agreement (and each Delegated Underwriting Authority Agreement) has a rolling initial term of 10 years where each rolled year resets the 10-year period. The Framework Agreement rolls solely at the written election of the Group, such election to be delivered at least 90 days prior to the commencement of the relevant contract year. If the Group does not elect to roll the Framework Agreement in any given year, the remainder of the 10-year term then in effect will continue in place, subject to the termination rights

------

described below. The Group has elected to roll the Framework Agreement and each Delegated Underwriting Authority Agreement for 2026 and commenced a new 10-year period.

***Termination***

The Framework Agreement (and each Delegated Underwriting Authority Agreement) may be terminated by either party upon the occurrence of certain prescribed events, including customary termination events. Additionally, TFP may unilaterally terminate in certain narrow instances, including a downgrade of FIHL.

Upon termination of the Framework Agreement or any Delegated Underwriting Authority Agreement, TFP will remain obligated to provide run-off services in respect of live risks at the date of termination subject to a 24-month review, whereby the Group may, upon providing at least six (6) months' prior written notice, rely on any alternative run-off services provider.

**Inter-Group Services Agreement**

To supplement the Framework Agreement and the Delegated Underwriting Authority Agreements, the Group and TFP have entered into a separate services agreement relating to the outsourcing of certain non-underwriting services to be provided by TFP to the Group through one or more of the Group's subsidiaries from time to time, dated January 3, 2023 (the "Inter-Group Services Agreement"), pursuant to which TFP is obligated to provide a range of non-underwriting services to the Group on an outsourced basis. These services include, but are not limited to, support with business planning, insurance contract accounting and information technology. The Inter-Group Services Agreement has been structured to run alongside the Framework Agreement and the Delegated Underwriting Authority Agreements and features the same rolling term mechanism. The parties have also agreed to utilize the Joint Approval Groups in the administration of the Inter-Group Services Agreement

The Inter-Group Services Agreement is regarded as a "material outsourcing agreement" under the relevant regulatory rules and contains a number of provisions that are required by applicable law and regulation. See Item 4.B. Business Overview "Regulatory Matters." The Group, as the outsourcing party, has the right to audit TFP in respect of certain applicable services, and to test plans that TFP is required to maintain and test. Additionally, following termination of the Inter-Group Services Agreement, the parties have agreed to comply with the terms of the exit plan, which is intended to ensure the seamless continuation of services provided by TFP until the Group is able to either bring these functions in-house or transfer them to an alternative provider.

This summary of the Inter-Group Services Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Inter-Group Services Agreement attached as Exhibit 4.6 to this report.

**Other**

***Rental Guarantee***

Following the Separation Transactions, FIHL continues to be the rental guarantor in respect of a historical lease over premises in Dublin, which are now occupied by TFP. The Dublin lease which is considered to have market standard terms was entered into by Fidelis Marketing Limited ("FML") prior to the consummation of the Separation Transactions and FML becoming a member of TFP. As at the date of this report, FIHL has not and does not expect to make any payments in respect of such guarantee.

**Amended and Restated Common Shareholders Agreement**

We have entered into the Amended and Restated Common Shareholders Agreement, which contains provisions that govern the rights and obligations of the Founders and TFP HoldCo, including their rights to nominate representative directors to the Board, so long as they each beneficially own a specified minimum percentage of our common shares.

***Consent Rights and Minority Protections***

Under the terms of the Amended and Restated Common Shareholders Agreement for so long as the Founders, together with certain transferees in the aggregate beneficially own at least 25% of the common shares, the Founders shall have the right, by unanimous decision by those Founders that each beneficially own at least 1% of the common shares, to restrict FIHL from taking the following actions, unless required by applicable law: (i) amend, or supplement FIHL's organizational documents which adversely impacts the Founders, (ii) take certain bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar actions, (iii) change the size of the Board, (iv) engage in any transaction in which any person or group acquires more than 50% of the then outstanding common shares of FIHL or the power to elect a majority of the Board or (v) terminate or hire the CEO including any successor. Additionally, for so long as TFP HoldCo beneficially owns at least 4.9% of the common shares, the consent of TFP HoldCo is required for FIHL to take any of the following actions: (i) to effect any change in the jurisdiction, incorporation or name of FIHL or any member of the Group; (ii) to make a material change to the nature or scope of the business underwritten by FIHL and any member of the Group; (iii) to amend or supplement FIHL's organizational documents that is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on TFP HoldCo, taken as a whole; and (iv) to make any acquisition or disposition of any asset for consideration in excess of 5.0% of the assets of FIHL that is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on TFP, taken as a whole.

------

If FIHL authorizes, designates or issues additional common shares, TFP HoldCo will have the right to elect to purchase up to its pro rata portion of the common shares at the same price as other subscribers and within a specific period.

Subject to certain exceptions, if TFP HoldCo sells any of its common shares, or its beneficial ownership of the common shares otherwise falls below 4.9% TFP HoldCo will no longer be entitled to exercise these rights. Any new class of common shares will be similarly restricted.

***Common Share Repurchases from Certain Shareholders***

In connection with the adoption by our Board of common share repurchase programs, we effected certain open market and privately negotiated repurchases with certain of our shareholders, as described below.

Under the terms of the Amended and Restated Common Shareholders Agreement, upon any proposed repurchase of common shares by FIHL, if TFP HoldCo, acting reasonably and in good faith, determines that, as a result of such proposed repurchase it (i) would become consolidated with FIHL for accounting purposes, (ii) would hold more than 9.9% of the common shares and/or (iii) would become a controller of any of FIHL's subsidiaries which are regulated pursuant to applicable regulatory law, in each case, as a result of such proposed repurchase, then it shall have the right, at its election, to (x) have a sufficient portion of its common shares repurchased by FIHL, on the same terms as the proposed repurchase (each such election, a "Repurchase Election") or (y) undertake a permitted transfer in respect of a sufficient portion of its common shares.

In connection with the adoption by FIHL of a brokered repurchase plan under the repurchase program (the "Brokered Repurchase Plan"), FIHL and TFP HoldCo entered into a repurchase agreement dated March 19, 2024 to facilitate TFP HoldCo's Repurchase Elections and the resulting repurchases. Under the terms of that repurchase agreement, on each day that FIHL repurchases common shares under the Brokered Repurchase Plan, TFP HoldCo may exercise its right to request FIHL to repurchase that certain number of common shares from TFP HoldCo resulting from a prescribed calculation designed to keep TFP HoldCo's ownership of FIHL to below 9.8752% at a price equal to the average price per common share paid by FIHL on such day under the Brokered Repurchase Plan.

Additionally, in order to facilitate TFP HoldCo's Repurchase Elections and the resulting repurchases triggered by off-market, privately negotiated repurchases with our existing shareholders (each, a "PNT"), FIHL and TFP HoldCo have entered into a further standby repurchase agreement dated June 19, 2025. Under the terms of that repurchase agreement, when FIHL repurchases common shares pursuant to a PNT, TFP HoldCo may exercise its right to request FIHL to repurchase that certain number of common shares from TFP HoldCo resulting from a prescribed calculation designed to keep TFP HoldCo's ownership of FIHL to below 9.8752% on the same terms as those agreed pursuant to the PNT, including the price per common share.

In the year ended December 31, 2025, FIHL has repurchased 1,487,359 common shares from TFP for $25.6 million. Additionally, in the year ended December 31, 2025 FIHL has repurchased 7,185,178 common shares in aggregate from one of its shareholders, CVC, pursuant to three separate PNTs for an aggregate purchase price of $125.0 million. Each of the foregoing PNTs triggered Repurchase Elections for TFP.

Subsequent to December 31, 2025 and through the period ended March 3, 2026, the Group repurchased 10,561,467 common shares at an aggregate cost of $200.8 million and an average price of $19.01 per common share. Included in common shares repurchased were 8,597,170 common shares from CVC at $19.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $163.3 million in a PNT. This resulted in a pro rata repurchase of 942,014 common shares from TFP HoldCo for $17.9 million. Following this transaction, CVC no longer holds any ownership interest in Fidelis Insurance Group.

**Registration Rights Agreement**

We entered into a Registration Rights Agreement dated June 9, 2015, as amended by the First Amendment to the Registration Rights Agreement dated November 25, 2019, the Second Amendment to the Registration Rights Agreement dated February 3, 2020, and the Third Amendment to the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of July 13, 2021 with certain of our shareholders, including the Founders, which granted certain registration rights to such shareholders in respect of our common shares (the "Registration Rights Agreement").

On April 14, 2023, as amended, we filed a registration statement with the SEC registering, among other things, an aggregate total of 7,857,143 common shares including as held by those certain shareholders.

On May 20, 2024, we filed a registration statement with the SEC registering, among other things, an aggregate total of 9,000,000 common shares including as held by those certain shareholders.

On May 15, 2025, we filed an automatic shelf registration statement with the SEC registering, among other things, the offer and sale from time to time of securities including as held by those certain shareholders, in such amounts to be set forth in an applicable prospectus supplement.

------

**Indemnification and Exculpation of Directors and Senior Managers**

We entered into separate indemnification agreements with each of our directors and senior managers. The Amended and Restated Bye-Laws require us to indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, our officers and directors in respect of their actions and omissions, except in respect of their fraud or dishonesty. We also maintain a directors and officers' liability policy.

**TFP's Lloyd's Syndicate 3123**

In 2024, TFP launched a new syndicate at Lloyd's, Syndicate 3123, which started underwriting various lines of (re)insurance business on July 1, 2024.

Under the Framework Agreement, the Group was offered the opportunity to participate in the Syndicate. In connection with the exercise of this right, FIBL participates in the Syndicate by reinsuring a portion of certain lines of business underwritten by the Syndicate for the 2024, 2025 and 2026 underwriting years of account pursuant to the terms of a quota share reinsurance agreement dated July 1, 2024 and entered into between FIBL and Asta Managing Agency Limited on behalf of the Syndicate (the "Syndicate QSA").

In addition to its provision of reinsurance to the Syndicate via the Syndicate QSA, FIBL indirectly provides funds at Lloyd's to the Syndicate via its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Fidelis IG Corporate Member, which is a newly incorporated corporate member at Lloyd's managed by Hampden Agencies Limited as its members' agent. Fidelis IG Corporate Member participates in the Syndicate on the same terms as the other members managed by Hampden Agencies Limited and supports 7.4% of the capacity of the Syndicate for the 2025 and 2026 underwriting years.

**E.Taxation**

***Taxation of the Shareholders***

The following summary sets forth the material U.S. federal income tax considerations related to the purchase, ownership and disposition of our common shares. Unless otherwise stated, this summary deals only with U.S. Holders who hold their common shares as capital assets within the meaning of section 1221 of the Code. The following discussion is only a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax matters as described herein and does not purport to address all of the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to a particular shareholder in light of such shareholder's specific circumstances. In addition, the following summary does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to special classes of shareholders, such as financial institutions, insurance companies, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, dealers or traders in securities, tax exempt organizations, U.S. expatriates, individual retirement accounts or other tax-deferred accounts, persons liable for alternative minimum tax, investors in pass through entities, persons who are considered with respect to FIHL or its subsidiaries as 10% U.S. Shareholders, persons who directly, indirectly or constructively (determined without regard to section 958(b)(4) of the Code) own more than 50% of the shares of FIHL, U.S. accrual method taxpayers subject to special tax accounting rules as a result of any item of gross income with respect to the common shares being taken into account in an applicable financial statement (as described in section 451(b) of the Code), persons who hold their shares as part of a hedging or conversion transaction or as part of a short sale or straddle

------

or persons who have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, who may be subject to special rules or treatment under the Code. This discussion is based upon the Code, the U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder and any relevant administrative rulings or pronouncements or judicial decisions, all as in effect on the date hereof and as currently interpreted, and does not take into account possible changes in such tax laws or interpretations thereof, which may apply retroactively. This discussion does not include any description of the tax laws of any state or local governments within the U.S. or of any non-U.S. government. Persons considering making an investment in the common shares should consult their own tax advisors concerning the application of the U.S. federal tax laws to their particular situations as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction, prior to making such investment.

If an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds common shares, the tax treatment of the partners will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If a potential investor in common shares is such a partnership or a partner of such a partnership, it should consult its tax advisors.

For purposes of this discussion, the term "U.S. Person" means: (i) a citizen or resident of the U.S.; (ii) a partnership or corporation, created or organized in or under the laws of the U.S., or organized under the laws of any political subdivision thereof; (iii) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; (iv) a trust if either (a) a court within the U.S. is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of such trust and one or more U.S. Persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of such trust or (b) the trust has a valid election in effect to be treated as a U.S. Person for U.S. federal income tax purposes or (v) any other person or entity that is treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as if it were one of the foregoing.

***Taxation of Distributions***

Subject to the discussion below regarding PFICs, CFCs and RPII, cash distributions paid with respect to the common shares will constitute ordinary dividend income to the extent paid out of the company's current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined using U.S. federal income tax principles), and the U.S. Holders generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax upon their receipt of such dividends. If the holder is not a corporation or an entity treated as a corporation under U.S. federal income tax law, dividends paid to it will generally be taxable at the rate applicable for long-term capital gains (at a maximum rate of 20% currently) if: (1) the dividends constitute "qualified dividend income," and (2) it holds the common shares for more than 60 days out of the 121-day period that begins 60 days before the ex-dividend date and meets other holding period requirements. Any dividends paid on the common shares generally will be "qualified dividend income," provided that: (i) the common shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the U.S. in the year in which the shareholder receives the dividend, or FIHL is eligible for the benefits of a comprehensive income tax treaty with the U.S., and, in either case, (ii) FIHL is not considered to be a PFIC in either the year of the distribution or the preceding taxable year. Under current U.S. Treasury Department guidance, the common shares are treated as readily tradeable on an established securities market as they are listed on NYSE. However, there can be no assurance that our common shares will continue to be listed on NYSE or that FIHL will not be treated as a PFIC for any taxable year. Dividends paid on the common shares to a corporate shareholder generally will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction.

***Classification of FIHL or its Non-U.S. Subsidiaries as Controlled Foreign Corporations***

Each 10% U.S. Shareholder of a non-U.S. corporation that is a CFC at any time during a taxable year must include in its gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes its pro rata share of the CFC's "subpart F income" and must take into account its pro rata share of the CFC's tested income or tested loss for purposes of determining its net CFC tested income, even if the subpart F income or tested income is not distributed. The 10% U.S. Shareholder's pro rata share is the portion of such income attributable to the shares owned, directly or indirectly through certain entities, by the 10% U.S. Shareholder for any period of the non-U.S. corporation's taxable year during which the shareholder owned such shares (directly or indirectly through certain entities), the non-U.S. corporation was a CFC and the shareholder was a 10% U.S. Shareholder. "Subpart F income" of a non-U.S. insurance corporation typically includes foreign personal holding company income (such as interest, dividends and other types of passive income, with certain exceptions), as well as insurance income (including premium and investment income, with certain exceptions), and tested income is generally business income of the CFC (other than subpart F income and certain other categories of income). The amount of any subpart F income inclusion would be limited by such 10% U.S. Shareholder's share of the CFC's current-year earnings and profits as reduced by the 10% U.S. Shareholder's share, if any, of certain prior-year deficits in earnings and profits, and a 10% U.S. Shareholder recognizing subpart F income or net CFC tested income would increase the basis in its shares, and the basis of any other property of the 10% U.S. Shareholder by reason of which it is considered to indirectly own shares, by the amount of subpart F income or (to the extent attributable to such CFC) net CFC tested income included in income. Amounts distributed out of previously taxed subpart F income or net CFC tested income would be excluded from the 10% U.S. Shareholder's income, and the 10% U.S. Shareholder's basis in the shares (or other property) would be reduced by the amount so excluded. In addition, as discussed below, the gain recognized by a 10% U.S. Shareholder on the sale of stock of a CFC will be re-characterized as a dividend and taxed as ordinary income rather than as capital gain to the extent of the 10% U.S. Shareholder's share of the CFC's earnings and profits (with adjustments, including for previously taxed amounts).

A non-U.S. corporation is considered a CFC if 10% U.S. Shareholders own (directly, indirectly through certain entities or by attribution by application of the constructive ownership rules of section 958(b) of the Code (that is "constructively")) more than 50%

------

of the total combined voting power of all classes of voting stock of such non-U.S. corporation, or more than 50% of the total value of all stock of such corporation. For purposes of taking into account insurance income, a CFC also includes a non-U.S. insurance company in which more than 25% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock or more than 25% of the total value of all stock is owned by 10% U.S. Shareholders on any day of the taxable year of such corporation, if the gross amount of premiums or other consideration for the reinsurance or the issuing of insurance or annuity contracts (other than certain exempt insurance or reinsurance contracts) exceeds 75% of the gross amount of all premiums or other consideration in respect of all risks. A "10% U.S. Shareholder" is a U.S. Person who owns (directly, indirectly through certain entities or constructively) at least 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote or 10% of the value of the non-U.S. corporation.

FIHL believes that because of the anticipated dispersion of its share ownership, no U.S. Person who owns the common shares of FIHL directly or indirectly through one or more entities should be treated as owning (directly, indirectly through certain entities, or constructively) 10% or more of the total voting power or value of all classes of shares of FIHL or any of its non-U.S. subsidiaries. However, the Company's shares may not be as widely dispersed as the Group believes due to, for example, the application of certain ownership attribution rules, and no assurance may be given that a U.S. Person who owns the Company's shares will not be characterized as a 10% U.S. Shareholder.

***The RPII CFC Provisions***

The following discussion generally is applicable only if neither the 20% Gross Income Exception nor the 20% Ownership Exception is met for a taxable year. Although FIHL cannot be certain, it believes that each of its non-U.S. insurance subsidiaries should meet either the 20% Ownership Exception or the 20% Gross Income Exception for each taxable year for the foreseeable future.

Generally, RPII is any "insurance income" (as defined below) attributable to policies of insurance or reinsurance with respect to which the person (directly or indirectly) insured is an "RPII shareholder" (as defined below) or a "related person" (as defined below) to such RPII shareholder. In general, and subject to certain limitations, "insurance income" is income (including premium and investment income) attributable to the issuing of any insurance or reinsurance contract (with certain exceptions) which would be taxed under the portions of the Code relating to insurance companies if the income were the income of a U.S. insurance company. For purposes of inclusion of the RPII of a non-U.S. insurance subsidiary of FIHL in the income of RPII shareholders, unless an exception applies, the term "RPII shareholder" means any U.S. Person who owns (directly or indirectly through certain entities) any amount of the Company's shares. Generally, the term "related person" for this purpose means someone who controls or is controlled by the RPII shareholder or someone who is controlled by the same person or persons which control the RPII shareholder. Control means ownership of more than 50% in value or more than 50% in voting power of a corporation's stock or more than 50% in value of the beneficial interests in a partnership, trust or estate, applying certain constructive ownership principles. Each non-U.S. insurance subsidiary should be treated as a CFC under the RPII provisions if RPII shareholders are treated as owning (directly, indirectly through certain entities or constructively) 25% or more of the shares of FIHL by vote or value.

***RPII Exceptions***

The special RPII rules do not apply to each non-U.S. insurance subsidiary of FIHL for a taxable year if the non-U.S. insurance subsidiary (i) satisfies the 20% Ownership Exception; (ii) satisfies the 20% Gross Income Exception; (iii) elects to be taxed on its RPII as if the RPII were effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business and waives all treaty benefits (other than with respect to the branch profits tax) with respect to RPII and meets certain other requirements; or (iv) elects to be treated as a U.S. corporation and waives all treaty benefits and meets certain other requirements. No non-U.S. insurance subsidiary of FIHL intends to make either of these elections. Where none of these exceptions applies to a non-U.S. insurance subsidiary, each U.S. Person owning (directly or indirectly through certain entities) any shares in FIHL (and therefore, indirectly, the non-U.S. insurance subsidiary) during a taxable year in which the non-U.S. insurance subsidiary is a CFC under the RPII provisions will be required to include in its gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes its pro rata share of the RPII of the non-U.S. insurance subsidiary, determined as if stock owned directly or indirectly through certain entities by U.S. Persons on the last day of the taxable year were the only stock of the non-U.S. corporation, but limited by each such U.S. Person's share of the company's current-year earnings and profits as reduced by the U.S. Person's share, if any, of certain prior-year deficits in earnings and profits. Each non-U.S. insurance subsidiary of FIHL intends to operate in a manner that is intended to ensure that it qualifies for the 20% Gross Income Exception or 20% Ownership Exception. However, it is possible that they will not be successful in qualifying under these exceptions because some of the factors which determine the extent of RPII may be beyond the Group's control.

***Computation of RPII***

In order to determine how much RPII a non-U.S. insurance subsidiary of FIHL has earned in each taxable year, each non-U.S. insurance subsidiary may obtain and rely upon information from its insureds and reinsureds to determine whether any of the insureds, reinsureds or persons related thereto own (directly or indirectly through certain entities) shares of FIHL and are U.S. Persons. A non-U.S. insurance subsidiary of FIHL may not be able to determine whether any of its underlying direct or indirect insureds are shareholders or related persons to such shareholders, and, consequently, may not be able to determine accurately the gross amount of RPII earned by it in a given taxable year. For any year in which the 20% Gross Income Exception and the 20% Ownership Exception

------

do not apply, FIHL may also seek information from its shareholders as to whether beneficial owners of shares are U.S. Persons so that the RPII may be determined and apportioned among such persons; to the extent FIHL is unable to determine whether a beneficial owner of shares is a U.S. Person, FIHL may assume that such owner is not a U.S. Person, thereby potentially increasing the per share RPII amount for all known RPII shareholders.

If, as expected, for each taxable year each non-U.S. insurance subsidiary of FIHL meets the 20% Gross Income Exception or 20% Ownership Exception, RPII shareholders will not be required to include RPII in their taxable income. The amount of RPII includable in the income of an RPII shareholder is based upon the net RPII income for the year after deducting related expenses such as losses, loss reserves and operating expenses.

***Basis Adjustments***

A RPII shareholder's tax basis in its shares will be increased by the amount of any RPII that such shareholder includes in income with respect to its shares. The RPII shareholder may exclude from income the amount of any distributions by FIHL out of previously taxed RPII income. The RPII shareholder's tax basis in its shares will be reduced by the amount of such distributions that are excluded from income.

***Uncertainty as to Application of RPII***

The RPII provisions have never been interpreted by the courts or the U.S. Treasury Department in final regulations, and regulations interpreting the RPII provisions exist only in proposed form. Accordingly, there is uncertainty in the proper interpretation of the RPII provisions and their application to a non-U.S. insurance subsidiary of FIHL or a RPII shareholder. In addition, FIHL cannot be certain that the amount of RPII or the amounts of the RPII inclusions for any particular RPII shareholder, if any, will not be subject to adjustment based upon subsequent IRS examination. Further, proposed regulations could, if finalized in their current form, substantially expand the definition of RPII to include insurance income of our non-U.S. subsidiaries with respect to certain affiliate reinsurance transactions. If these proposed regulations are finalized in their current form, the Group might determine not to execute affiliate reinsurance transactions that would otherwise be undertaken for non-tax business reasons in the future and there may be an increased risk that the 20% Gross Income Exception would not be met for one or more of FIHL's non-U.S. subsidiaries in a particular taxable year, which could result in RPII being taxable to U.S. Persons that own or are treated as owning common shares directly or indirectly through certain entities. U.S. Persons owning or treated as owning common shares should consult their tax advisors as to the effect of these uncertainties.

***Information Reporting***

Under certain circumstances, U.S. Persons owning shares in a non-U.S. corporation are required to file IRS Form 5471 (Information Return of U.S. Persons With Respect To Certain Foreign Corporations) with their U.S. federal income tax returns. Generally, information reporting on IRS Form 5471 is required by (i) a person who is treated as a RPII shareholder; (ii) a 10% U.S. Shareholder of a non-U.S. corporation that is a CFC or a "specified foreign corporation" at any time during the tax year of the non-U.S. corporation (with certain exceptions); and (iii) under certain circumstances, a U.S. Person who acquires stock in a non-U.S. corporation and as a result thereof owns 10% or more of the voting power or value of such non-U.S. corporation, whether or not such non-U.S. corporation is a CFC. FIHL will provide to all U.S. Persons registered as shareholders of its shares the relevant information necessary to complete IRS Form 5471 in the event FIHL determines this is necessary. Failure to file IRS Form 5471 may result in penalties.

U.S. Holders should consider their possible obligation to file FinCEN Form 114 (Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts) with respect to the common shares. Additionally, such U.S. Holders should consider their possible obligations to annually report certain information with respect to the Form with their U.S. federal income tax returns. Certain U.S. Holders who are individuals (and certain entities) that hold an interest in "specified foreign financial assets" (which may include the common shares) are required to report information (on IRS Form 8938 (Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets)) relating to such assets, subject to certain exceptions (including an exception for common shares held in accounts maintained by certain financial institutions).

Certain shareholders may be required to file an IRS Form 926 (Return of a U.S. Transferor of Property to a Foreign Corporation) to report a transfer of property, including cash, to FIHL. Substantial penalties may be imposed on a shareholder that fails to comply with this reporting requirement. Each shareholder is urged to consult with its own tax advisors regarding this reporting obligation.

U.S. Holders who fail to report the required information could be subject to substantial penalties, and, in such circumstances, the statute of limitations for assessment of tax could be suspended, in whole or part. Shareholders should consult their tax advisors with respect to these and any other reporting requirements which may apply with respect to their purchase, holding and sale of the common shares.

***Tax-Exempt Shareholders***

Tax-exempt entities will be required to treat certain insurance income, including RPII, that is includible in income by the tax-exempt entity under the CFC rules as unrelated business taxable income. Prospective investors that are tax-exempt entities are urged to consult their tax advisors as to the potential impact of the unrelated business taxable income provisions of the Code. A tax-exempt

------

organization that is treated as a 10% U.S. Shareholder or an RPII Shareholder also must file IRS Form 5471 in the circumstances described above.

***Dispositions of the Common Shares***

Subject to the discussions below relating to the potential application of the Code section 1248 and PFIC rules, U.S. Holders generally should recognize capital gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes on the sale, exchange or other disposition of the common shares in the same manner as on the sale, exchange or other disposition of any other shares held as capital assets. If the holding period for these shares exceeds one year, any gain will be subject to tax at a current maximum marginal tax rate of 20% for individuals and a rate of 21% for corporations. Moreover, gain, if any, generally will be U.S.-source gain and generally will constitute "passive category income" for foreign tax credit limitation purposes.

Code section 1248 provides that if a U.S. Person sells or exchanges stock in a non-U.S. corporation and such person owned, directly, indirectly through certain entities or constructively, 10% or more of the voting power of the corporation at any time during the five (5)-year period ending on the date of disposition when the corporation was a CFC, any gain from the sale or exchange of the shares will be treated as a dividend to the extent of the CFC's earnings and profits (determined under U.S. federal income tax principles) during the period that the shareholder held the shares and while the corporation was a CFC (with certain adjustments). FIHL believes that because of the anticipated dispersion of its share ownership, no U.S. Person that owns common shares directly or indirectly in FIHL should be treated as owning (directly, indirectly through certain entities or constructively) 10% or more of the total voting power of FIHL; to the extent this is the case, the application of Code section 1248 should not apply to dispositions of the common shares, subject to the discussion below with respect to the RPII rules. However, no assurance can be given in this regard.

A 10% U.S. Shareholder may in certain circumstances be required to report a disposition of shares of a CFC by attaching IRS Form 5471 to the U.S. federal income tax or information return that it would normally file for the taxable year in which the disposition occurs. In the event this is determined necessary, FIHL will, upon request, provide the relevant information necessary to complete IRS Form 5471.

Code section 1248 in conjunction with the RPII rules also applies to the sale or exchange by a U.S. Person of shares in a non-U.S. corporation if the non-U.S. corporation would be treated as a CFC for RPII purposes regardless of whether the shareholder owns, directly, indirectly through certain entities or constructively, 10% or more of the voting power of such non-U.S. corporation or whether the 20% Gross Income Exception or the 20% Ownership Exception applies. Existing proposed regulations do not address whether Code section 1248 would apply if a non-U.S. corporation is not a CFC but the non-U.S. corporation has a subsidiary that would be treated as a CFC for RPII purposes. FIHL believes, however, that this application of Code section 1248 under the RPII rules should not apply to dispositions of common shares because FIHL will not be directly engaged in the insurance business. FIHL cannot be certain, however, that the IRS will not interpret the proposed regulations in a contrary manner or that the U.S. Treasury Department will not amend the proposed regulations to provide that these rules will apply to dispositions of the common shares. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the effects of these rules on a disposition of the common shares.

***PFIC***

In general, a non-U.S. corporation will be a PFIC during a given taxable year if (i) the 75% test is met for such taxable year; or (ii) the 50% test is met for such taxable year. Once characterized as a PFIC, the shares of the non-U.S. corporation will generally retain status as shares in a PFIC for future taxable years with respect to U.S. shareholders that held such shares in the taxable year of the PFIC characterization.

If FIHL were characterized as a PFIC during a given year, each U.S. Person holding the common shares would be subject to a penalty tax at the time of the taxable disposition at a gain of, or receipt of an "excess distribution" with respect to, its common shares, unless such person (i) is a 10% U.S. Shareholder and FIHL is a CFC or (ii) made a QEF or "mark-to-market" election. It is uncertain whether FIHL would be able to provide its shareholders with the information necessary for a U.S. Person to make the QEF election or whether a U.S. Person will be eligible to make a mark-to-market election with respect to the common shares, and a mark-to-market election likely will not be available for any shares of FIHL's non-U.S. subsidiaries. In addition, if FIHL were considered a PFIC, upon the death of any U.S. individual owning shares, such individual's heirs or estate would not be entitled to a "step-up" in the basis of their common shares that might otherwise be available under U.S. federal income tax laws. In general, a shareholder receives an "excess distribution" if the amount of the distribution is more than 125% of the average distribution with respect to the shares during the three (3) preceding taxable years (or shorter period during which the taxpayer held the common shares). In general, the penalty tax is computed by allocating the excess distribution or gain (in the case of a taxable disposition) with respect to the common shares pro rata to each day in the shareholder's holding period for the common shares, including as ordinary income for the current year any amounts allocated to the current year or any period before FIHL was treated as a PFIC with respect to such shareholder, treating amounts allocated to other tax years as taxable at the highest applicable tax rate on ordinary income in each such tax year and adding an interest charge for the deemed deferral of such prior year taxes to the current year. The interest charge is equal to the applicable rate imposed on underpayments of U.S. federal income tax for such period. In addition, a distribution paid by FIHL to U.S. shareholders that is characterized as a dividend and is not characterized as an excess distribution would not be eligible for reduced rates of tax as qualified

------

dividend income if FIHL were considered a PFIC in the taxable year in which such dividend was paid or in the preceding taxable year. A U.S. Person that is a shareholder in a PFIC may also be subject to additional information reporting requirements, including the annual filing of IRS Form 8621 (Information Return by a Shareholder of a Passive Foreign Investment Company or Qualified Electing Fund).

For the above purposes, passive income generally includes interest, dividends, annuities and other investment income. The PFIC rules provide that income derived in the active conduct of an insurance business by a qualifying insurance corporation is not treated as passive income. The PFIC provisions also contain a look-through rule under which a non-U.S. corporation will be treated as if it "received directly its proportionate share of the income …" and as if it "held its proportionate share of the assets …" of any other corporation in which it owns (directly or indirectly) at least 25% of the value of the stock ("the look-through rule").

Under the look-through rule, FIHL should be deemed to own its proportionate share of the assets and to have received its proportionate share of the income of its non-U.S. insurance subsidiaries for purposes of the 75% test and the 50% test. However, the insurance income exception applies only to a non-U.S. insurance company that is a qualifying insurance corporation. A non-U.S. insurance company will be a qualifying insurance corporation if it would be taxable as an insurance company if it were a U.S. corporation and satisfies the Reserve Test. The Group believes that FIBL has met this Reserve Test and will continue to do so in the foreseeable future, although no assurance may be given that FIBL will satisfy the Reserve Test in future years.

The 2021 Regulations, which set forth in proposed form certain requirements that must be met to satisfy the "active conduct of an insurance business" test, also propose that a non-U.S. insurer with no or a nominal number of employees that relies exclusively or almost exclusively upon independent contractors (other than related entities) to perform its core functions will not be treated as engaged in the active conduct of an insurance business. Further, for purposes of applying the 10% Test, the 2021 Regulations: (i) generally limit the rating-related circumstances exception to a non-U.S. corporation: (a) more than half of the net written premiums of which for the applicable period are derived from insuring catastrophic risk, or (b) providing certain other insurance coverage that the Group is not expected to engage in, and (ii) propose to reduce a corporation's insurance liabilities by the amount of any reinsurance recoverable relating to such liability. The Group believes that, based on the implementation of its business plan and the application of the look-through rule and the exceptions set out under section 1297 of the Code, none of the income and assets of FIBL should be treated as passive pursuant to the 10% Test, and thus, FIHL should not be characterized as a PFIC under current law for its current taxable year and foreseeable future years to the extent a shareholder makes an election to apply the 10% Test with respect to each non-U.S. insurance subsidiary, but because of the legal uncertainties as well as factual uncertainties with respect to the Group's planned operations, there is a risk that FIBL and therefore FIHL will be characterized as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In addition, because of the legal uncertainties relating to how the 2021 Regulations will be interpreted and the form in which the proposed 2021 Regulations may be finalized, no assurance can be given that FIHL will not qualify as a PFIC under final IRS guidance or any future regulatory proposal or interpretation that may be subsequently introduced and promulgated. If FIHL is considered a PFIC, it could have material adverse tax consequences for an investor that is subject to U.S. federal income taxation. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors as to the effects of the PFIC rules.

As noted above, the 10% Test will only apply if a U.S. Holder makes a valid election. A U.S. Holder seeking to elect the application of the 10% Test to FIBL may do so if the Group provides the U.S. Holder- with, or otherwise makes publicly available, a statement or other disclosure that FIBL meets the requirements of the 10% Test (and that contains certain other relevant information). The Group intends to either provide each U.S. Holder with such a statement or otherwise make such a statement publicly available. A U.S. Holder may generally make an election to apply the 10% Test by completing a Form 8621 and attaching it to its original or amended U.S. federal income tax return for the taxable year to which the election relates. Investors owning a de minimis amount of FIHL stock may be deemed to have made the election automatically. U.S. investors are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding electing to apply the 10% Test to FIHL's non-U.S. insurance subsidiaries.

U.S. investors are also urged to consult with their tax advisors and to consider making a "protective" QEF election with respect to FIHL and each of FIHL's non-U.S. subsidiaries to preserve the possibility of making a retroactive QEF election. If the Group determines that FIHL is a PFIC, the Group intends to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the information necessary to make a QEF election for FIHL and each non-U.S. subsidiary of FIHL that is a PFIC. A U.S. Person that makes a QEF election with respect to a PFIC is currently taxable on its pro rata share of the ordinary earnings and net capital gain of such company during the years it is a PFIC (at ordinary income and capital gain rates, respectively), regardless of whether or not distributions were received. In addition, any of the PFIC's losses for a taxable year will not be available to U.S. Persons and may not be carried back or forward in computing the PFIC's ordinary earnings and net capital gain in other taxable years. A U.S. Person generally increases the basis of its PFIC shares, and the basis of any other property of the U.S. Person by reason of which such U.S. Person is considered to indirectly own PFIC shares, by amounts included in such U.S. Person's gross income pursuant to the QEF election. Therefore, an electing U.S. Holder will generally increase the basis of its common shares by amounts included in the shareholder's gross income pursuant to the QEF election. Amounts distributed out of previously taxed income generally would be excluded from the shareholder's income, and the shareholder's basis in the common shares would be reduced by the amount so excluded.

In lieu of making a QEF election, if FIHL is a PFIC for any taxable year and the common shares are treated as "marketable stock" in such year, then a U.S. Holder may avoid the unfavorable rules described above by making a mark-to-market election with respect to

------

such holder's common shares. The common shares will be marketable if they are regularly traded on certain qualifying stock exchanges, including NYSE; however, there can be no assurance that trading in the common shares will be sufficiently regular for the shares to qualify as marketable stock, and a mark-to-market election likely would not be available for any subsidiary of FIHL also treated as a PFIC. In general, if a U.S. Holder were to make a timely and effective mark-to-market election, such holder would include as ordinary income each year the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the holder's common shares at the end of the taxable year over its adjusted basis in the common shares. Any gain recognized by such holder on the sale or other disposition of the common shares would be ordinary income, and any loss would be an ordinary loss to the extent of the net amount of previously included income as a result of the mark-to-market election and, thereafter, a capital loss. U.S. Holders considering a mark-to-market election for FIHL should consult with their tax advisors regarding making a QEF election for any non-U.S. subsidiary of FIHL treated as a PFIC.

A U.S. Holder will be required to file an IRS Form 8621 (which is a form that is required to be filed by holders of equity in a PFIC) for each tax year that it holds common shares and FIHL is characterized as a PFIC, regardless of whether such U.S. Person has a QEF election in effect or receives any excess distribution.

If FIHL is characterized as a PFIC with respect to a U.S. Holder, the U.S. Holder will also generally be treated for purposes of the PFIC provisions as holding a proportionate share of any PFIC shares owned directly or, in certain cases, indirectly by FIHL.

***Medicare Contribution Tax***

A U.S. Person that is an individual, estate or a trust that does not fall into a special class of trusts that is exempt from such tax will be subject to a 3.8% tax on the lesser of (i) the U.S. Person's "net investment income" (or "undistributed net investment income" in the case of estates and trusts) for the relevant taxable year and (ii) the excess of the U.S. Person's modified adjusted gross income for the taxable year over a certain threshold. A U.S. Holder's net investment income will generally include its dividend income and its net gains from the disposition of common shares, unless such dividend income or net gains are derived in the ordinary course of the conduct of a trade or business (other than a trade or business that consists of certain passive or trading activities). An inclusion of subpart F income or net CFC tested income by a 10% U.S. Shareholder generally is not treated as a dividend for purposes of calculating this 3.8% tax on "net investment income." However, actual distributions with respect to such income, which as previously taxed income may not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, generally are treated as dividends for purposes of calculating net investment income and this 3.8% tax.

***Foreign Tax Credit***

Dividends on common shares, and current income inclusions under the CFC, RPII and PFIC rules generally will constitute foreign source income for foreign tax credit limitation purposes, and generally will constitute "passive category income." If U.S. Persons in the aggregate own a majority of the shares of FIHL, under certain circumstances only a portion of the current income inclusions, if any, under the CFC, RPII and PFIC rules and of dividends paid by FIHL (including any gain from the sale of the common shares that is treated as a dividend under section 1248 of the Code) will be treated as foreign source income for purposes of computing a shareholder's U.S. foreign tax credit limitations. FIHL will consider providing shareholders with information regarding the portion of such amounts constituting foreign source income to the extent such information is reasonably available. There are additional significant and complex limits on a U.S. Person's ability to claim foreign tax credits. Thus, it may not be possible for shareholders to utilize foreign tax credits to reduce U.S. tax on such income. The rules relating to the determination of the U.S. foreign tax credit are complex, and U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of a foreign tax credit in their particular circumstances and the possibility of claiming an itemized deduction (in lieu of the foreign tax credit) for any foreign taxes paid or withheld.

***Information Reporting and Backup Withholding on Distributions and Disposition Proceeds***

Information returns may be filed with the IRS in connection with distributions on the common shares and the proceeds from a sale or other disposition of the common shares unless the holder of the common shares establishes an exemption from the information reporting rules. A holder of the common shares that does not establish such an exemption may be subject to U.S. backup withholding tax on these payments if the holder is not a corporation or fails to provide its taxpayer identification number or otherwise comply with the backup withholding rules. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a U.S. Holder will be allowed as a credit against the U.S. Holder's U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle the U.S. Holder to a refund, provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS.

**Item 11.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk**

We believe that we are principally exposed to the following types of market risk: interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and equity price risk.

*Interest Rate Risk*. Our investment portfolio consists primarily of fixed maturity securities. Fluctuations in interest rates have a direct impact on the market valuation of these securities. Accordingly, our primary market risk exposure is to changes in interest rates. As interest rates rise, the market value of our fixed maturity portfolio falls, and the converse is also true.

We manage interest rate risk by maintaining a portfolio of fixed maturity securities where the duration of the portfolio broadly matches the duration of our liabilities in order to reduce the net economic impact from changes in interest rates. At December 31, 2025, our fixed maturity portfolio had an approximate duration of 2.7 years.

The following table summarizes the effect that an immediate, parallel shift in the interest rate yield curve would have on the market value of our fixed maturity securities, available-for-sale, and our short-term investments, available for sale, at December 31, 2025 and 2024:

---

| | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Interest Rate Shift in Basis Points** | **-100** | **-50** | **0** | **50** | **100** |
| Market Value | $2827.2 | $2789.2 | $2751.7 | $2714.9 | $2678.5 |
| Gain/Loss | $75.4 | $37.4 | $— | $(36.9) | $(73.2) |
| Percentage of portfolio at December 31, 2025 | **2.7%** | **1.4%** | **—%** | **(1.3** **%)** | **(2.7** **%)** |

| Market Value | $3734.3 | $3684.0 | $3633.7 | $3583.4 | $3533.0 |
| Gain/Loss | $100.6 | $50.3 | $— | $(50.4) | $(100.7) |
| Percentage of portfolio at December 31, 2024 | **2.8%** | **1.4%** | **—%** | **(1.4** **%)** | **(2.8** **%)** |

---

*Foreign Currency Risk*: Our reporting currency and functional currency is the U.S. dollar. At December 31, 2025, 97.4% of our cash and investments was held in U.S. dollars (December 31, 2024: 98.3%), with the balance of 2.6% held primarily in Canadian dollars and Euros (December 31, 2024: 1.7%). For the year ended December 31, 2025, 21.0% of our gross premiums were written in currencies other than U.S. dollars (2024: 19.4%, 2023: 19.0%) and we expect that a similar proportion will be written in currencies other than U.S. dollars in 2026.

Other foreign currency amounts are remeasured to the appropriate functional currency and the resulting foreign exchange gains or losses are reflected in the income statement. Both the remeasurement and translation are calculated using current exchange rates for the balance sheets and monthly exchange rates for the income statements. We may experience exchange losses to the extent that our foreign currency exposure is not properly managed or otherwise hedged, which would in turn adversely affect our results of operations

------

and financial condition. An increase or decrease of 10% in the U.S. dollar would result in additional gain or loss for the year ended December 31, 2025 of $3.1 million (December 31, 2024: $2.8 million) with an equal impact on net assets, assuming all other assumptions remain unchanged.

We will continue to manage our foreign currency risk by seeking to match our liabilities under insurance and reinsurance policies that are payable in foreign currencies with investments that are denominated in those currencies. This may involve the use of foreign exchange contracts from time to time. A foreign exchange contract involves an obligation to purchase or sell a specified currency at a future date at a price set at the time of the contract. Foreign exchange contracts will not eliminate fluctuations in the value of our assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies but rather allow us to establish a rate of exchange for a future point in time.

As the foreign exchange contracts settle, the realized gain or loss is included with foreign exchange gains and losses in the income statement. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the amount recognized within foreign exchange gains and losses for settled foreign exchange contracts was a realized loss of $(16.4) million (2024: $(3.6) million).

*Equity price risk:* Our investment portfolio includes hedge funds which have exposure to equity price risk, which is the potential loss arising from decreases in fair value. At December 31, 2025, the fair value of investments with direct exposure to equity price risk totaled $205.8 million (December 31, 2024: $178.7 million). An immediate hypothetical 10% decline in the value of each position would reduce the fair value of such investments by $20.6 million. A hypothetical 10% increase in the value of each position would increase the fair value of such investments by $20.6 million.

**Item 15.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Controls and Procedures**

**Disclosure Controls and Procedures**

The Group, under the supervision and with the participation of the Group's management, including the Group Chief Executive Officer and the Group Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the design and operation of the Group's disclosure controls and procedures at December 31, 2025. Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. As a result of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Group have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of persons or by collusion of two or more people. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. As a result of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatement due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Accordingly, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the disclosure requirements are met.

Based on the evaluation of the disclosure controls and procedures, the Group Chief Executive Officer and the Group Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, at December 31, 2025, the Group's disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted to the SEC under the Exchange Act by the Group were recorded, processed, summarized and reported in a timely fashion, and were accumulated and communicated to management, including the Group Chief Executive Officer and the Group Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

**Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

------

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) and as contemplated by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. These limitations include the possibility that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of error or mistake. Therefore, any internal control system can provide only reasonable assurance and may not prevent or detect all misstatements or omissions. In addition, our evaluation of effectiveness is as of a particular point in time and there can be no assurance that any system will succeed in achieving its goals under all future conditions or at any time.

The Group's management has performed an assessment of the Group's internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2025. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) (the "COSO framework").

Based on that assessment, the Group's management believes that, at December 31, 2025, the Group's internal control over financial reporting is effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. As a result, even those internal control systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements.

**Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm**

The Group's independent registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2025. This report appears below.

**Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting**

Management's assessment of the overall effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting was based on the criteria set forth in the COSO framework. Based upon that evaluation, there were no changes in the Group's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Group's internal control over financial reporting. The Group reviews its disclosure controls and procedures, including internal controls over financial reporting, on an ongoing basis.

**Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Fidelis Insurance Holdings Limited:

Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We have audited Fidelis Insurance Holdings Limited and subsidiaries' (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in *Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013)* issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in *Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013)* issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes and financial statement schedules I to VI (collectively, the consolidated financial statements), and our report dated March 5, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

Basis for Opinion

The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control

------

based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

**Item 16F. Change in Registrant's Certifying Accountant**

Not applicable.

**Item 16G. Corporate Governance**

As a "foreign private issuer," we are entitled to follow the practice of our home country, Bermuda, with respect to certain of the NYSE's corporate governance requirements rather than adhering to those applicable to U.S. issuers listed on the NYSE. Accordingly, we follow Bermuda corporate governance rules in lieu of certain of the corporate governance requirements of the NYSE.

Among other things, we intend to follow corporate governance practices as contained in the Bermuda Companies Act and other Bermuda laws and regulations in lieu of the NYSE corporate governance rules as follows, none of which is required under the laws of Bermuda:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We do not intend to follow Section 303A.10 of the NYSE listing standards, which requires a company to promptly disclose any waivers of the Code of Conduct for directors or executive officers. Although we will require approval by our Board for any such waiver, we may choose not to disclose the waiver in the manner set forth in the NYSE listing standards;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We do not intend to follow Section 303A.08, which requires that shareholders be given the opportunity to vote on equity-compensation plans and material revisions thereto.

Section 312.03 of the NYSE listing standards also requires that a listed company obtain, in specified circumstances, (1) shareholder approval to adopt or materially revise equity compensation plans, as well as (2) shareholder approval prior to an issuance (a) of more than 1% of its common shares (including derivative securities thereof) in either number or voting power to related parties, (b) of more than 20% of its outstanding common shares (including derivative securities thereof) in either number or voting power or (c) that would result in a change of control, none of which requires shareholder approval under the laws of Bermuda. We intend to follow home country law in determining whether shareholder approval is required

We may in the future decide to use other foreign private issuer exemption with respect to some or all of the other requirements under the NYSE corporate governance rules. Following our home country governance practices may provide less protection than is accorded to investors under the NYSE listing standards applicable to domestic issuers.

**Item 16J. Insider Trading Policies**

In furtherance of our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of ethical conduct, we have adopted an insider trading policy and related processes, that we believe are reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations and the NYSE's listing standards (collectively, the "Insider Trading Policy").

Our Insider Trading Policy prohibits the purchase, sale and other transactions with respect to any securities by any director, officer or employee that may be in possession of material non-public information relating to FIHL. Furthermore, the Insider Trading Policy addresses transactions by family members and transactions under our equity compensation plans, tipping and other actions which may be prohibited. It also provides guidance on applicable laws (including guidelines and requirements related to the establishment of Rule 10b5-1 trading plans) and discusses the consequences of an insider trading violation, additional trading restrictions and certain reporting requirements applicable to directors and senior management. Our Insider Trading Policy also prohibits engaging in certain speculative and derivative transactions involving FIHL's securities, which we believe could "hedge" the risk of owning our securities or otherwise create the appearance of insider trading, including short selling, hedging, short term trading, options trading, purchases of FIHL's securities on margin, and pledging FIHL's securities as collateral to secure loans. The process for pre-clearing all transactions in FIHL's securities is set forth therein and must be followed by all persons subject to the Insider Trading Policy.

A copy of our Insider Trading Policy has been filed with the SEC as Exhibit 11.2 to this report.

**Item 16K. Cybersecurity**

*Risk Management and Strategy*

Pursuant to applicable regulations, we have established and maintain a formal cybersecurity program to protect our information technology systems and customer data. This program is designed to comply with applicable regulatory requirements, incorporate industry standards, and to evolve with the changing security threat environment through ongoing assessment and measurement. To that end, we have in place, and seek to improve, a comprehensive system of security controls, managed by a dedicated staff, and overseen by our Group Chief Information Security Officer and Chief Technology Officer (the "Group CISO & CTO"), to protect against or otherwise minimize cybersecurity risks. Such risks, including those posed by cyber incidents, form part of our enterprise risk management processes, and we continue to evaluate and assess our compliance in the changing regulatory environment.

Periodically, the services of third party experts are engaged to perform security penetration testing to identify vulnerabilities in our IT environment, and to perform other relevant assessments to determine where improvements might be made with the Group's cybersecurity arrangements. The output of such tests and assessments are reviewed, and our security controls are updated as necessary to address vulnerabilities and to improve the effectiveness of their operation. In addition, we are subject to independent audits, including those conducted by our internal audit team, which review and assess our compliance with applicable regulations and internal policies. Furthermore, we operate a supplier due diligence process that includes a component to assess the information and cyber security processes operated by third party service providers to ensure they are appropriate to the services being delivered.

Our employees and contractors are required to comply with our IT Acceptable Usage Policy and certify their compliance annually. Cybersecurity awareness training is mandatory for all new hires and for existing employees and contractors on an annual basis. Periodic phishing tests are also conducted to assess employees' susceptibility to phishing attacks. Additional compulsory cybersecurity training is delivered where necessary.

We have implemented incident response and business continuity plans for our operations, which are regularly reviewed with respect to our business-critical infrastructure and systems. We employ data backup procedures to ensure that our key business systems and data are regularly backed up, and can be restored if necessary. Moreover, our backup information is stored remotely from sites hosting our data, in order to minimize the risk of loss of key data in the event of a disaster or other system outage. Our recovery plans involve arrangements with our off-site data center and cloud infrastructure. We believe the IT function will be able to utilize these plans to efficiently recover key system functionality in the event that our primary systems are unavailable due to various scenarios, such as natural disasters.

Like other businesses, the Group has previously experienced attempts by cyber-criminals to infiltrate its IT infrastructure; however, the Group has not been impacted by any material cybersecurity incidents, and it believes it has taken, and is taking, reasonable steps to mitigate the risk of future cyberattacks. To that end, the Group continues to adapt its cybersecurity training in response to evolving cyber threats and continually improves its technical and administrative security controls. However, there can be no guarantee that these steps will in fact prevent a future cyberattack against the Group. Any failure in our security controls may expose the Group to

------

potential data loss and damages and potentially significant increases in compliance and litigation costs, and such exposure could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations, and reputation. See Item 3.D. Risk Factors "Risks Relating to the Operations Supporting the Group's Business — Operational risk exposures, such as IT, human or systems failures (including outsourcing arrangements), are inherent in the Group's business and may result in losses."

*Governance*

Our Board of Directors, along with the Risk Committee and Audit Committee, oversee our information security program, receiving periodic updates throughout the year on cybersecurity matters from relevant management and audit functions, with these updates being part of their standing agendas. A report on the state of the Group's IT is presented to the Board every quarter. These reports also contain updates on our IT strategy, including information security strategies and initiatives, event preparedness and incremental improvement efforts. The Group CISO & CTO is expected to provide an annual briefing on the topic of cybersecurity risk management to the Board.

The Group CISO & CTO is an established information security professional with more than ten years of experience in building and operating information security programs. Our Group CISO & CTO holds the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) and ISO 27001 Lead Implementer certifications, and he has managed the global cybersecurity functions of two prominent law firms with active mergers and acquisitions (M&A) practices that necessitated the operation of rigorous information and cybersecurity programs.

**REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

**To the Shareholders and Board of Directors**

**Fidelis Insurance Holdings Limited:**

**Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements**

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Fidelis Insurance Holdings Limited and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes and financial statement schedules I to VI (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated March 5, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

**Basis for Opinion**

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

**Critical Audit Matter**

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

*Estimate of reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses*

As discussed in notes 2 and 9 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company records reserves for unpaid reported losses and for losses incurred but not reported (reserves). These estimates are reported net of amounts estimated to be recoverable from salvage, subrogation and other recoveries. The Company estimates ultimate losses using various actuarial methods as well as the Company's own loss experience, historical insurance industry loss experience, estimates of pricing adequacy trends and management's professional judgment. Inherent in the estimate of reserves are expected trends in claim severity, frequency of large losses and catastrophes, and other factors which may vary significantly as claims are settled. To estimate reserves for catastrophe and large losses, the Company conducts a detailed review of policies that have known or potential exposure to specific loss events. Salvage is recorded based on estimated realizable value. Certain salvage estimates have a high degree of estimation uncertainty. The estimated realizable values are determined using market data, if relevant and available, recent transaction values for similar assets for which there is observable data, and management's assessment of factors such as asset condition and age, market liquidity, and the legal

challenges associated with realizing value from certain assets. As of December 31, 2025, the Company recorded $2,607.1 million of reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses.

We identified the evaluation of the estimates of reserves as a critical audit matter. Specifically, subjective and complex auditor judgement, including specialized skills and knowledge, was involved in evaluating the methods and actuarial assumptions used in estimating reserves and assumptions used in estimating certain salvage. Key assumptions for estimating reserves included the expected loss ratios, weighting of actuarial methods, and loss development factors. A key assumption for estimating certain salvage included management's assessment of asset-specific factors and market liquidity. Further, not all catastrophic events and other large losses can be modeled using traditional actuarial methodologies, which increased the degree of judgment needed in estimating loss reserves for such events.

The following are the primary procedures we performed to address the critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the Company's loss reserve process. This includes controls over the key assumptions and the determination of loss reserves, including reserves for catastrophe and large losses. We involved actuarial professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• assessing the Company's actuarial methodologies used in estimating reserves by comparing to generally accepted actuarial practices and evaluating the Company's actuarial assumptions for the expected loss ratios, weighting of actuarial methods, and loss development factors. For a selection of catastrophes and other large losses, this included comparing to industry loss estimates, the Company's own loss experience and output from catastrophe and probabilistic models.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• developing an independent range of estimated reserves for selected lines of business and certain salvage estimates, and comparing to the Company's estimates. Valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge assisted in evaluating market data for certain salvage estimates.

**FIDELIS INSURANCE HOLDINGS LIMITED**

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements**

**For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023**

**(Expressed in millions of U.S. dollars)**

**1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Nature of Operations**

Fidelis Insurance Holdings Limited ("Fidelis" or "FIHL", and together with its subsidiaries, the "Group") is a holding company which was incorporated under the laws of Bermuda on August 22, 2014. The Group is a global specialty underwriter of insurance and reinsurance. Fidelis' principal operating subsidiaries are:

• Fidelis Insurance Bermuda Limited ("FIBL") is a Class 4 Bermuda domiciled company which writes most of the Group's reinsurance business, as well as writing insurance lines. FIBL is regulated by the Bermuda Monetary Authority.

• Fidelis Underwriting Limited ("FUL") is a U.K. domiciled company which principally writes insurance, as well as reinsurance. FUL is regulated by the Prudential Regulation Authority ("PRA") and the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA").

• Fidelis Insurance Ireland DAC ("FIID") is a Republic of Ireland domiciled company that writes insurance and reinsurance within the European Economic Area. FIID is regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland ("CBI").

• FIHL (UK) Services Limited ("FSL") is a U.K. service company that also has a branch in Ireland.

On January 3, 2023, the Group distributed its investment in Fidelis Marketing Limited ("FML") and Pine Walk Capital Limited ("Pine Walk") to shareholders to form a new managing general underwriter business ("The Fidelis Partnership" or "TFP") and The Fidelis Partnership was acquired by a consortium of investors (the "Separation Transactions").

Through various long-term contractual agreements, effective from January 1, 2023 The Fidelis Partnership manages origination, underwriting, underwriting administration and claims handling under delegated authority agreements with the Group. Other services provided by The Fidelis Partnership to the Group include sourcing and administering outwards reinsurance, support with business planning, capital management, insurance contract accounting and information technology.

Further information can be found at Note 19 (Separation Transactions) and Note 13 (Related Party Transactions).

On July 3, 2023, Fidelis completed an initial public offering ("IPO") of common shares on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "FIHL".

On May 22, 2024, the Group established a Lloyd's corporate member, Nameco (No 1404) Limited (the "Fidelis IG Corporate Member"), a wholly owned subsidiary of FIBL, to facilitate its participation in Syndicate 3123's underwriting activity. The participation rate is 7.4% in the 2025 year of account (9.9% for the 2024 year of account, commencing July 1, 2024).

 **2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Significant Accounting Policies**

**Basis of presentation**

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the results of FIHL and its subsidiaries and have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") and include the results of Fidelis Insurance Holdings Limited and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

**Reporting currency**

The financial information is reported in United States dollars ("U.S. dollars" or "$"), expressed in millions, except for share and per share amounts.

**Use of estimates, risks and uncertainties**

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The most significant estimates reflected in the financial statements include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Written and earned premiums;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Reinsurance balance recoverable on reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Fair value measurements of fixed maturity investments, available-for-sale, and other investments; and

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Income tax expense.

**Cash and cash equivalents**

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash held in banks, money market funds and other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturity dates of 90 days or less, provided they are not part of the investment portfolio. Cash equivalents are recorded at amortized cost, which approximates fair value due to the short-term, liquid nature of these securities.

**Restricted cash and cash equivalents**

Restricted cash and cash equivalents consist of cash held in segregated or trust accounts, which is unavailable for immediate use by the Group, primarily to provide collateral for letters of credit, reinsurance agreements, and to support the current value of any amounts that may be due to counterparties based on the value of underlying financial instruments. Restricted cash equivalents are recorded at amortized cost, which approximates fair value due to the short-term, liquid nature of these securities.

**Investments**

The Group currently classifies its fixed maturity securities and short-term investments as "available-for-sale" ('AFS') and, accordingly, they are carried at fair value with the changes in fair value recorded as an unrealized gain or loss component of accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders' equity.

Investments with a maturity from three months up to one year from date of purchase are classified as short-term investments.

For all fixed maturity securities, realized gains or losses are determined on the basis of the first-in, first-out method. Realized gains and losses on fixed maturity securities include allowances for expected credit losses. This allowance represents the difference between the security's amortized cost and the amount expected to be collected over the security's lifetime.

Unrealized gains and losses represent the difference between the cost, or the cost as adjusted by amortization of any difference between its cost and its redemption value ("amortized cost"), of the security and its fair value at the reporting date and are included within other comprehensive income for securities classified as available-for-sale.

The Group's other investments consist of a portfolio of fixed income funds, hedge funds and private equity funds that is valued at fair value using net asset value per share as a practical expedient. These funds are not reflected within the fair value hierarchy disclosed in Note 5 (Fair Value Measurements). Prior to December 31, 2024, the Group also held an investment in the Wellington Opportunistic Fixed-Income Undertakings for the Collective Investment in Transferable Securities Fund that was carried at fair value. Realized and unrealized gains on other investments are included in net realized and unrealized investment gains and losses on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Investments pending settlement include receivables and payables from unsettled trades with brokers. Receivables and payables from unsettled trades are carried at fair value based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or derived based on inputs that are observable. Receivables and payables from unsettled trades are classified within other assets and other liabilities, respectively, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

**Net investment income**

Net investment income includes amounts received and accrued in respect of periodic interest ("coupons") payable to the Group by the issuer of fixed income securities and interest credited on cash and cash equivalents. It also includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount in respect of fixed income securities. Investment management, custody, and investment administration fees are charged against net investment income reported in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The Group reports accrued investment income separately from investment balances and has elected not to measure an allowance for credit losses for accrued investment income. Any uncollectible accrued interest income is written off in the period it is deemed uncollectible.

**Derivative assets and liabilities**

All derivatives are recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value on a gross basis and not offset against any collateral pledged or received. Unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value are included in net realized and unrealized investment gains and losses or net foreign exchange gains and losses in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Group's derivative financial instrument assets are included in other assets and derivative financial instrument liabilities are included in other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. None of the Group's derivatives are designated as accounting hedges for financial reporting purposes. Pursuant to the International Swaps and Derivatives Association ("ISDA") master agreements and other derivative agreements, the Group and its counterparties typically have the ability to settle on a net basis. In addition, in the event a party to one of the ISDA master agreements or other derivative agreements defaults, or a transaction is otherwise subject to termination, the non-

------

defaulting party generally has the right to set off against payments owed to the defaulting party or collateral held by the defaulting party.

The Group may enter into derivative transactions to manage foreign currency exchange risk, interest rate or duration risk, or other exposure risks. Derivative transactions typically include futures, options, swaps and forwards. Derivative assets represent financial contracts whereby, based upon the contract's current fair value, the Group will be entitled to receive payments upon settlement. Derivative liabilities represent financial contracts whereby, based upon the contract's current fair value, the Group will be obligated to make payments upon settlement.

The Group manages foreign currency exposure by substantively balancing assets with liabilities for certain major non-U.S. dollar currencies, or by entering into currency forward contracts. However, there is no guarantee that this will effectively mitigate exposure to foreign exchange gains and losses.

Where a contract includes an embedded derivative, the embedded derivative is recognized separately only if the contract is not recognized at fair value, or the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative are not clearly and closely related to those of the host contract.

**Premiums and acquisition costs**

Premiums written are recorded on inception of the policy. Premiums written include estimates based on information received from insureds, brokers and cedants, and any subsequent differences arising on such estimates are recorded as premiums written in the period they are determined. Premiums written are earned on a basis consistent with risks covered over the period the coverage is provided. The portion of the premiums written applicable to the unexpired terms of the underlying contracts and policies is recorded as unearned premium.

Reinstatement premiums are recognized as written and earned after the occurrence of a loss and are recorded in accordance with the contract terms based upon management's estimate of losses and loss adjustment expenses.

Policy acquisition expenses are directly related to the acquisition of insurance premiums and are deferred and amortized over the related policy period in line with earned premium. The Group only defers acquisition costs incurred that are directly related to the successful acquisition of new or renewal insurance contracts, including commissions to agents, including The Fidelis Partnership, brokers and premium taxes. All other acquisition related expenses including indirect costs are expensed as incurred. To the extent that future policy revenues on existing policies are not adequate to cover related costs and expenses, deferred policy acquisition costs are charged to earnings.

The Group evaluates premium deficiency and the recoverability of deferred acquisition costs by determining if the sum of future earned premiums and anticipated investment return is greater than expected future losses and loss adjustment expenses and policy acquisition expenses.

**Premiums receivable**

Premiums receivable includes amounts receivable from insureds, net of brokerage costs, which represent premiums that are both currently due and amounts not yet due on insurance and reinsurance policies. Premiums for insurance and reinsurance policies generally become due over the period of coverage based on the policy terms. Contract periods can be several years in length with premiums received in annual or quarterly installments.

The Group monitors the credit risk associated with premiums receivable, taking into consideration the fact that in certain instances credit risk may be reduced by the Group's right to offset loss obligations against premiums receivable, and contracts are generally cancellable for non-payment. The Group establishes an allowance for expected credit losses based upon an aged analysis of amounts due, historical write-offs, current economic conditions and expectations of future economic conditions. Further details are set out at Note 10 (Reinsurance and Retrocessional Reinsurance). Changes in the estimate of (re)insurance premiums written will also result in an adjustment to premiums receivable in the period they are determined.

**Reinsurance and retrocession**

The Group seeks to reduce the risk of net losses on business written by reinsuring certain risks and exposures with other reinsurers. Ceded reinsurance contracts do not relieve the Group of its primary obligation to insureds. Ceded premiums are recognized when the coverage period incepts and are expensed over the contract period in proportion to the coverage period or, when the coverage period does not align to the risk exposure, in proportion to the underlying risk exposure. Premiums relating to the unexpired portion of reinsurance ceded are recorded as deferred reinsurance premiums.

Commissions on ceded business are deferred and amortized over the period in which the related ceded premium is recognized. The deferred balance is recorded within deferred policy acquisition costs on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the amortization is recognized within policy acquisition expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

------

**Losses and loss adjustment expenses**

The liability for losses and loss adjustment expenses includes reserves for unpaid reported losses and for losses incurred but not reported ("IBNR"). These estimates are reported net of amounts estimated to be recoverable from salvage, subrogation and other recoveries. The reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses is established by management based on reports from insureds, brokers, and ceding companies and the application of generally accepted actuarial techniques, including the output from catastrophe and probabilistic models, and represents the estimated ultimate cost of events or conditions that have been reported to or specifically identified by the Group as incurred.

The Group estimates ultimate losses using various actuarial methods as well as the Group's own loss experience, historical insurance industry loss experience, estimates of pricing adequacy trends and management's professional judgement. The estimated cost of claims includes expenses to be incurred in settling claims.

The estimation of losses and loss adjustment expense reserves is based on various complex and subjective judgments, as described in Note 9 (Reserves for Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses). Ultimate losses and loss adjustment expenses may differ materially from the amount recorded in the financial statements. These estimates are reviewed regularly and as experience develops and new information becomes known, the reserves are adjusted as necessary. Such adjustments, if any, are recorded in losses and loss adjustment expenses in the periods in which they are determined.

**Reinsurance balances recoverable**

Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are estimated based on the terms and conditions of the reinsurance contracts in a manner consistent with the underlying liability reinsured. The Group evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and monitors concentration of credit risk to minimize its exposure to significant losses from individual reinsurers. The ceding of insurance does not legally discharge the Group from its primary liability for the full amount of the policies, and the Group will be required to pay the loss and bear collection risk if the reinsurer fails to meet its obligations under the reinsurance or retrocessional agreement. To further reduce credit exposure on reinsurance recoverables, the Group has received collateral, including letters of credit and trust accounts, from certain reinsurers. Collateral related to these reinsurance agreements is available, without restriction, when the Group pays losses covered by the reinsurance agreements.

An allowance is established for credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of the reinsurance recoverable, which is recorded net of this allowance. To determine the allowance for expected credit losses, the probability of default is calculated based on the reinsurer credit ratings and default factors developed by a major rating agency. The allowance is charged to net income in the period the recoverable is recorded and revised in subsequent periods to reflect changes in the Group's estimate of expected credit losses. Further details are set out at Note 10 (Reinsurance and Retrocessional Reinsurance).

**Long term debt**

Debt is initially measured at fair value less issuance costs incurred and subsequently held at amortized cost. Interest expense is recognized over the term of the notes using the effective interest method.

**Leases**

The Group assesses whether a contract contains a lease at the inception of the contract, determining at that point whether any leases identified are operating leases or finance leases. The Group does not currently have any finance leases.

For operating leases with a lease term in excess of 12 months, a lease liability and corresponding operating right-of-use asset is recognized. The lease liability takes into account any renewal options that are deemed to be reasonably certain and is discounted using the Group's incremental borrowing rate, where the rate implicit in the lease is not available.

The unwinding of the discount is recognized in general and administrative expenses. The operating right-of-use asset is amortized straight line over the term of the lease and recognized in general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

**Corporate and other expenses**

Corporate and other expenses include reorganization expenses and other one-off expenses. Corporate and other expenses have been separated from general and administrative costs to separately show these costs from the administrative costs associated with running the day-to-day activities of the Group.

**Income taxes**

Income taxes have been provided for those operations that are subject to income taxes based on tax laws and rates enacted in those jurisdictions. Current and deferred taxes are charged or credited to income tax expense.

------

Deferred tax assets and liabilities result from temporary differences between the amounts recorded in the consolidated financial statements and the tax basis of the Group's assets and liabilities. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax law or rates is recognized in income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income in the period that includes the enactment date.

A valuation allowance is provided to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount management deem more likely than not to be realized.

The Group recognizes the benefit from a tax position taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Tax positions that meet the more likely than not threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement. The Group recognizes interest and penalties related to income taxes in income tax expense.

**Share compensation**

The Group issues share-based compensation awards to employees with: (i) a service condition (ii) a service and performance condition, and (iii) a market condition. The fair value of all awards is measured at the grant date, and the awards expensed ratably over the service period. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur.

Share-based compensation awards that contain only service conditions, and awards that contain both service and performance conditions, are all valued using the market value of the FIHL common shares. For awards that contain both a service and performance condition, the Group recognizes compensation expense only for the portion of the award that is considered probable of vesting. The probability of share-based awards vesting is evaluated at each reporting period.

For awards with a market condition, they are valued using Monte Carlo simulation with inputs that include the grant date share price, estimated volatility, and risk-free interest rates.

Prior to January 3, 2023 the Group issued warrants to purchase common shares. The warrants contained a combination of service and performance conditions and were valued at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Share compensation expense for warrants considered probable of vesting was expensed over the vesting period on a graded vesting basis.

**Foreign exchange**

The functional currency of the Group and its subsidiaries is U.S. dollar. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated in U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are re-measured at the exchange rates in effect at the reporting date. Foreign exchange gains and losses are included in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured to the functional currency at historic exchange rates.

Prior to the Separation Transactions, certain subsidiaries had a non-U.S. dollar functional currency. In translating the financial results of those entities whose functional currency was other than the U.S. Dollar reporting currency, assets and liabilities were converted into U.S. Dollars using the rates of exchange in effect at the reporting date, and revenues and expenses were converted using the average foreign exchange rates for the period. The effect of translation adjustments was reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders' Equity as a foreign currency translation adjustment, a separate component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.

**Comprehensive income**

Comprehensive income represents all changes in equity that result from recognized transactions and other economic events during the period. Other comprehensive income refers to revenues, expenses, gains and losses that under U.S. GAAP are included in comprehensive income but excluded from net income, such as unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale investments and foreign currency translation adjustments.

**Reclassification**

Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the current period financial statements. These reclassifications had no impact on the previously reported net income or shareholders' equity.

**Recent accounting pronouncements**

**Accounting standards recently adopted**

The Group adopted ASU 2023-09 "Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" in the year ended December 31, 2025. This guidance improves the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring consistent categories and disaggregation of information in the effective income tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The Group has applied ASU 2023-09 retrospectively by providing the required disclosures for all periods presented. The ASU impacted our disclosures in Note 18 (Income Taxes), but had no impact on our results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition.

------

**Accounting standards not yet adopted**

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 "Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses," which requires entities to disaggregate certain income statement expenses into more detailed components to enhance transparency and usefulness of financial information. This ASU mandates the separate disclosure of specific expense categories, such as employee compensation, depreciation, and amortization in the footnotes. The effective date for ASU 2024-03 is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The Group is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on the disclosures within its consolidated financial statements.

**3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Segments**

The chief operating decision maker ("CODM") has been determined to be the Group Chief Executive Officer.

Our two reportable segments are defined as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Insurance segment comprises a specialized portfolio of risks that includes Property, Marine, Asset Backed Finance & Portfolio Credit, Energy, Cyber, Aviation & Aerospace, Political Risk, Violence & Terror, and Other Insurance risks.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Reinsurance segment is primarily a property catastrophe book, with a smaller proportion of Retro & Whole Account business.

The Group also has an "Other" category that includes general and administrative expenses and The Fidelis Partnership commissions.

The CODM and management measure segment performance based on segment underwriting income. Segment underwriting income is used in (i) the annual budgeting and forecasting process, (ii) quarterly comparisons of budget to actual, (iii) quarterly comparisons of actual to prior year, and (iv) comparison of performance across segments.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 2 (Significant Accounting Policies). Assets are not allocated to segments, nor are general and administrative expenses allocated between segments as employees, including underwriters, may work across different segments. The Fidelis Partnership commissions (see Note 13 (Related Party Transactions)) are not allocated to segments as they are not included in the measure of segment profit reviewed by the CODM, nor is a segment analysis of such expenses provided in other information reviewed by the CODM.

***d.Allowance for expected credit losses - available-for-sale***

The following table provides a roll forward of the allowance for expected credit losses of the Group's securities classified as available-for-sale:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2025** | **2024** | **2023** |
| Balance at beginning of year | $5.9 | $1.3 | $1.1 |
| Expected credit losses on securities where credit losses were not previously recognized | 1.8 | 7.3 | 4.1 |
| Reductions for expected credit losses on securities where credit losses were previously recognized | (6.2) | (2.4) | (3.5) |
| Securities sold/redeemed/matured | (0.9) | (0.3) | (0.4) |
| Balance at end of year | $**0.6** | $**5.9** | $**1.3** |

---

The Group assesses each quarter whether the decline in fair value of an available-for-sale security below its amortized cost is the result of a credit loss. All available-for-sale securities with unrealized losses are reviewed. The Group considers many factors to determine whether a credit loss exists, including the extent to which fair value is below cost, the implied yield to maturity, rating downgrades of the security and whether or not the issuer has failed to make scheduled principal or interest payments. The Group also takes into consideration information about the financial condition of the issuer and industry factors that could negatively impact the capital markets.

If the decline in fair value of an available-for-sale security below its amortized cost is considered to be the result of a credit loss, the Group compares the estimated present value of the cash flows expected to be collected to the amortized cost of the security. The extent to which the estimated present value of the cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost of the security represents the expected credit loss, which is recorded as an allowance and recognized in net income.

The fixed income fund investments are structured as commingled investment funds managed by third-party managers. During 2025 the Group invested in:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A UCITS (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) fund that is actively investing in primarily global investment-grade credit securities. The fund has an average credit rating of A.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• An ICAV (Irish collective asset-management vehicle) fund that is structured as a limited partnership. The fund invests in a diverse portfolio of primarily high yield corporate debt securities and bank loans. The fund has an average credit rating of B+.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• An open-ended Luxembourg based fund that is investing in investment-grade and short-dated subscription line financing for private funds. The fund has an average credit rating of AA.

At December 31, 2025, approximately $63.4 million (December 31, 2024: $nil) of the fixed income funds were subject to lock-ups or hold-backs and are not redeemable within twelve months. The remaining funds can be redeemed within 30 days' notice.

At December 31, 2025, the Group had $12.2 million (December 31, 2024: $nil) of unfunded investment commitments to fixed income funds, which are callable by the relevant investment managers.

In 2024, the Group invested in a number of hedge funds which are structured as limited partnerships and are managed by third-party managers. The individual hedge fund strategies include credit, global macro, long/short, multi strategy and event-driven.

Other investments in hedge funds are redeemable over periods ranging from one month to greater than twelve months. The common redemption restrictions which may impact the Group's ability to redeem hedge funds are lock-up periods, hold-backs and gates. A lock-up period is the initial amount of time an investor is contractually required to remain invested in the fund before having the ability to redeem in whole or in part. A hold-back entitles the fund to retain up to 10% of a total redemption request, pending completion of the external audit for the financial year in which the redemption occurs. A gate is a suspension of redemptions which may be implemented by the investment manager of the fund to defer, in whole or in part, the redemption request in the event the aggregate amount of redemption requests exceeds a specified percentage of the fund's net assets. At December 31, 2025, approximately 94% (December 31, 2024: 80%) of the total hedge fund investment can be redeemed within the next twelve months, while approximately 6% (December 31, 2024: 20%) of the total hedge fund investment could be subject to lock-ups or hold-backs and are not redeemable within twelve months. At December 31, 2025, approximately 1% (December 31, 2024: —%) of the hedge funds were subject to a gate. At December 31, 2025, we committed an additional $110 million to invest in hedge funds. These trades had an effective date of January 1, 2026.

In 2025 the Group invested in a private credit fund which is structured as a limited partnership and is managed by a third-party manager. The private credit fund strategy includes investing in portfolio debt securities related to certain private credit asset classes, including direct lending, specialty finance and credit opportunities.

At December 31, 2025 the Group had $108.1 million (December 31, 2024: $nil) of unfunded commitments as a limited partner in private credit funds. The Company generally has no right to redeem its interest in any of these private credit funds in advance of dissolution of the applicable limited partnerships. Instead, distributions are received by the Company in connection with the liquidation or maturity of the underlying private credit assets of the fund. It is estimated that the majority of the underlying assets of the limited partnerships will liquidate over 5 to 10 years from inception of the limited partnership.

**5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Fair Value Measurements**

FASB ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. The standard requires the Group to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

***Fair value hierarchy***

FASB ASC 820-10 specifies a hierarchy of inputs based on whether the inputs are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are developed using market data and reflect market participant assumptions, while unobservable inputs reflect the Group's market assumptions. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

• Level 1: Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets. The fair value is determined by multiplying the quoted price by the quantity held by the Group.

• Level 2: Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices (e.g. interest rates, yield curves, prepayment spreads, default rate, etc.) for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability or can be corroborated by observable market data.

• Level 3: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable for the asset or liability and are significant to the fair value measurement. Significant management assumptions can be used to establish management's best estimate of the assumptions used by other market participants in determining the fair value of the asset or liability.

As required under the fair value hierarchy, the Group considers relevant and observable market inputs in its valuations where possible. The frequency of transactions, the size of the bid-ask spread and the amount of adjustment necessary when comparing similar transactions are all factors in determining the liquidity of markets and the relevance of observable prices in those markets.

The Group's policy with respect to transfer between levels of the fair value hierarchy is to recognize transfers into and out of each level as of the end of the reporting period.

**Determination of fair value**

The following section describes the valuation methodologies used by the Group to measure assets and liabilities at fair value, including an indication of the level within the fair value hierarchy in which each asset or liability is generally classified.

**Fixed maturity securities, available-for-sale**

Fair values for all fixed maturity securities, available-for-sale, are independently provided by the investment administrator, investment custodians, and investment managers, each of which utilize internationally recognized independent pricing services.

For determining the fair value of securities that are not actively traded, in general, pricing services use "matrix pricing" in which the independent pricing service uses observable market inputs including, but not limited to, reported trades, benchmark yields, broker-dealer quotes, interest rates, prepayment spreads, default rates and such other inputs as are available from market sources to determine a reasonable fair value.

The following describes the techniques generally used to determine the fair value of the Group's fixed maturity securities by asset class.

• U.S. Treasuries are bonds issued by the U.S. government. The significant inputs used to determine the fair value of these securities are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and are therefore classified within Level 1.

• Agency securities consist of securities issued by U.S. and non-U.S. government sponsored agencies such as the Federal National Mortgage Association, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, government development banks and other agencies which are not mortgage pass-through. The fair values of these securities are determined using the spread above the risk-free yield curve. As the yields for the risk-free yield curve and the spreads are observable market inputs, the fair values of these securities are classified as Level 2.

• Non-U.S. government securities consist of bonds issued by non-U.S. governments and supranationals. The significant inputs used to determine the fair value of these securities include the spread above the risk-free yield curve, reported trades and broker-dealer quotes. These are considered to be observable market inputs and, therefore, the fair values of these securities are classified within Level 2.

• Corporate bonds consist primarily of investment-grade debt of a wide variety of corporate issuers and industries. When available, significant inputs are used to determine the fair value of these securities and are based on quoted prices in active markets for similar assets. When not available, the fair values of these securities are determined using the spread above the risk-free yield

curve, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, benchmark yields, and industry and market indicators. The fair values of these securities are classified as Level 2.

• Residential mortgage-backed securities include agency mortgage-backed securities and agency collateralized mortgage obligations. These are individually evaluated using option adjusted spreads ("OAS") and nominal spreads. The OAS valuations use a third-party prepayment model and OAS. Spreads are based upon tranche type and average life volatility. These spreads are gathered from dealer quotes, trade prices, and the new issue market. The fair values of these securities are classified as Level 2.

• Commercial mortgage-backed securities consist of investment grade bonds backed by pools of loans with underlying collateral. Securities held in this sector are primarily priced by pricing services. Inputs to the valuation process include broker-dealer quotes and other available trade information, prepayment speeds, current price data, the swap curve as well as cash settlement. The fair values of these securities are classified as Level 2.

• Other asset-backed securities consist of investment grade bonds backed by pools of loans with underlying collateral. The underlying collateral for asset-backed securities consists mainly of student loans, automobile loans and credit card receivables. These securities are primarily priced by index providers and pricing vendors. Inputs to the valuation process include broker-dealer quotes and other available trade information, prepayment speeds, tranche type, interest rate data and credit spreads. The Group classifies these securities within Level 2.

**Short-term investments**

The Group's short-term investments are classified within the fair value hierarchy using the methodologies specified for our fixed maturity securities above.

The Group also invests in money market funds that are classified within Level 1 as their fair values are based on the publicly available net asset value per share.

**Other investments**

Fair values for the Group's investments in fixed income funds, hedge funds and private credit funds are based on their respective net asset values and are excluded from the fair value hierarchy table below.

**Derivative assets and liabilities**

Exchange-traded derivatives, measured at fair value using quoted prices in active markets where available, are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Derivatives without quoted prices in an active market and derivatives executed over the counter are valued using internal valuation techniques that consider the time value of money, volatility, the current market and contractual prices of underlying financial instruments. These derivative instruments are classified as either Level 2 or Level 3 depending upon the observability of the significant inputs to the model. The valuation techniques and key inputs depend on the type of derivative and the nature of the underlying instrument.

**7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Derivative Financial Instruments**

The Group enters into derivative instruments such as futures and swaps primarily for fixed income portfolio interest rate and credit exposure management, and forward contracts for foreign currency exposure management. The Group's derivative instruments are generally traded under International Swaps and Derivatives Association master agreements, which establish the terms of the transactions entered into with the Group's derivative counterparties. In the event one party becomes insolvent or otherwise defaults on its obligations, a master agreement generally permits the non-defaulting party to accelerate and terminate all outstanding transactions and net the transactions' marked-to-market values so that a single sum in a single currency will be owed by, or owed to, the non-defaulting party. Effectively, this contractual close-out netting reduces credit exposure from gross to net exposure.

The following tables identify the listing currency, fair value and notional amounts of derivative instruments included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, categorized by primary underlying risk:

**9.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Reserves for Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses**

The reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses include an amount determined from reported claims, and estimates based on historical loss experience and industry statistics for losses incurred but not reported using a variety of actuarial methods.

The unpaid reported reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses are established by management based on reports from brokers, ceding companies and insureds and represent the estimated ultimate cost of events or conditions that have been reported to, or specifically identified by, the Group.

IBNR reserves are established by management based on actuarial estimates of ultimate losses and loss adjustment expenses. Inherent in the estimate of ultimate losses and loss adjustment expenses are expected trends in claim severity, frequency of large losses and catastrophes, and other factors which may vary significantly as claims are settled. Actuarial inputs include the Group's own loss experience, historical insurance industry loss experience, estimates of pricing adequacy trends and management's professional judgement. Due to the limited historical data available, reliance is placed upon industry data and a review of individual policies. Estimates are calculated at the lowest level line of business, separately for gross and ceded, and for attritional, large and catastrophic claims.

***Actuarial methodologies:***

The principal actuarial methods, and associated key assumptions including initial expected loss ratios, loss development factors, and the weighting of actuarial methods, used to perform the Group's loss reserve analysis include:

***Initial expected loss ratio***

To estimate ultimate losses, the Group multiplies earned premiums by an expected loss ratio. The expected loss ratio is determined using a combination of benchmark data, the business plan, and expert judgement.

***Paid and incurred chain ladder***

This method estimates ultimate losses by calculating past paid and incurred loss development factors and applying them to exposure periods with further expected loss development. The main underlying assumption of this method is that historical loss development patterns are indicative of future loss development patterns.

***Paid and incurred Bornhuetter-Ferguson ("BF")***

This method combines features of the chain ladder and initial expected loss ratio method by using both reported and paid losses as well as an "a priori" expected loss ratio to arrive at an ultimate loss estimate. The weighting between these two methods depends on the maturity of the business. This means that for more recent years a greater weight is placed on the initial expected loss ratio, while for more mature years a greater weight is placed on the loss development patterns.

***Benktander: Credible claims reserves***

The Benktander method is similar to the Bornhuetter-Ferguson method but replaces the initial loss ratio used within the BF method with the loss estimate from the BF method. The credibility factor is increased as claims develop. It gives more weight to:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Emerged losses than the BF; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Initial expected loss ratio rather than the chain ladder.

***Catastrophe and large losses***

The Group writes insurance and reinsurance contracts that have exposure to natural and man-made catastrophes. The magnitude and complexity of losses associated with these events increases the level of uncertainty and the extent of management judgment required to arrive at the estimate of reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses. The estimates of reserves related to catastrophe and large losses can be affected by factors including: (i) the inability to access portions of impacted areas, (ii) infrastructure disruptions, (iii) legal and regulatory uncertainties (iv) complexities involved in estimating business interruption losses and additional living expenses (v) the impact of demand surge and fraud (vi) for hurricanes, determining whether damage was caused by flood or wind, and (vii) the limited nature of information available, especially for events that occur near the end of a reporting period. As a result, actual losses may differ materially from current estimates.

To estimate reserves for catastrophe and large losses, the Group conducts a detailed review of policies that have known or potential exposure to specific loss events. This estimation process is carried out on a contract-by-contract basis and can incorporate: (i) data provided by cedants, brokers and other relevant specialists (ii) industry loss estimates and the Group's estimated market share (iii) exposure data obtained during the underwriting process (iv) outputs from catastrophe and probabilistic models (v) the terms and conditions of the contracts involved, and (vi) expected loss ratios.

------

Initial reserve estimates are established in the period when a catastrophe event occurs. These estimates are then reviewed and adjusted each subsequent quarter, considering the current information available.

***Salvage***

Salvage is recorded based on estimated realizable value and is deducted from the reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses. Certain salvage estimates have a high degree of estimation uncertainty. The estimated realizable values are determined using market data, if relevant and available, recent transaction values for similar assets for which there is observable data, and management's assessment of factors such as asset condition and age, market liquidity, and the legal challenges associated with realizing value from certain assets. Actual amounts realized may differ materially from estimates due to changes in market conditions, asset-specific factors, and the resolution of legal or regulatory matters. The Group regularly reviews and updates its estimates as new information becomes available.

***Unallocated claims adjustments expenses***

The Group estimates reserves for unallocated claims adjustment expenses ("ULAE") based on a percentage of loss reserves as determined by management. However, this may be overridden in exceptional circumstances where this approach is not deemed appropriate. There were no material changes made to the Group's methodology for calculating reserves for unallocated claims adjustment expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025.

***Governance***

It is the responsibility of the actuarial function to apply the relevant actuarial methodologies and judgments to the calculation of loss reserves. The Group Actuary presents the recommendations of the actuarial review of the reserves to the Reserving Committee for review, challenge and recommendation, the results of which are included in the Group Actuary's Reserving Report for approval by the Audit Committee.

The reserve estimates contain an inherent level of uncertainty and actual results may vary, potentially significantly, from the estimates the Group has made. Reserves are reviewed on a quarterly basis and estimates are adjusted to reflect emerging claims experience.

The following table presents a reconciliation of reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023:

As a result of the changes in estimates of insured events in prior years, the reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses net of reinsurance recoveries decreased by $3.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 (2024: increased by $124.6 million, 2023: decreased by $62.9 million).

Net favorable development for the year ended December 31, 2025, resulted from better than expected loss development in the Reinsurance segment, partially offset by net adverse development in the Insurance segment.

------

The adverse development in the Insurance segment of $77.6 million was driven primarily by an increase in reserves in our Aviation & Aerospace line of business related to the Ukraine Conflict. This increase includes the impact of the settlement of certain aviation litigation related claims during the year, as well as the judgment handed down by the English High Court in June 2025. The increase in loss reserves in Aviation & Aerospace was partially offset by better than expected loss emergence in our Property and Other Insurance lines of business. The favorable development in the Reinsurance segment of $80.6 million was driven by positive development on catastrophe losses and benign prior year attritional experience.

Net adverse development for the year ended December 31, 2024 resulted from net adverse development in the Insurance segment, partially offset by better than expected loss development in the Reinsurance segment. The adverse development in the Insurance segment of $184.6 million was driven primarily by an increase in our Aviation and Aerospace line of business related to the Ukraine Conflict, partially offset by better than expected loss emergence in our Property, Other Insurance and Marine lines of business. This increase related to settlements entered into by the Group in relation to the related litigation as well as an increase in order to reflect developments and information received. The favorable development in the Reinsurance segment of $60.0 million was driven by benign prior year attritional experience and positive development on catastrophe losses.

Net favorable development for the year ended December 31, 2023 resulted from better than expected loss development in the Reinsurance segment related primarily to loss reductions from Hurricane Ian as well as favorable attritional experience driven by benign claim experience on prior year accidents.

***a.Incurred and paid loss development tables by accident year***

The Group's loss reserve analysis is based primarily on underwriting year data. The preparation of the below accident year development tables required an allocation of underwriting year data to the corresponding accident year.

Allocations are performed using accident year loss payment and reporting patterns, which are derived from Group specific loss data. Ultimate reserves are allocated based on reserve movement splits between prior and current year and reflects the movement in earned premium by underwriting year.

The following tables present the Group's total losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred, net of reinsurance and paid losses and loss adjustment expenses by accident year, net of reinsurance. The information has been provided separately for the Insurance and Reinsurance segments.

The reporting of cumulative claims frequency has been deemed to be impracticable as the information necessary to provide meaningful cumulative claims frequency is not available to the Group. Within the Reinsurance segment, the underlying claim count data is not provided for most reinsurance contracts written on a quota share basis, and for certain excess of loss contracts. With respect to the Insurance segment, certain managing general agents ("MGAs") and brokers report loss data on an aggregate basis. In determining our reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses, the Group does not generally use claims frequency information as an input to the actuarial methods described in Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies.

***c.Historical loss duration***

The Group was incorporated on August 22, 2014 and commenced underwriting in 2015. As a result, the Group has limited historical data and is unable to present a full cycle of loss payments beyond year seven for the Insurance and Reinsurance segments as movements beyond this time horizon are not meaningful and may be misleading to the users of the financial statements.

**10.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Reinsurance and Retrocessional Reinsurance**

The Group uses reinsurance and retrocessional reinsurance to manage its net retention on individual risks as well as overall exposure to losses while providing it with the ability to offer policies with sufficient limits to meet policyholder needs. In a reinsurance transaction, an insurance company transfers, or cedes, all or part of its exposure in return for a portion of the premium. In a retrocessional reinsurance transaction, a reinsurance company transfers, or cedes, all or part of its exposure in return for a portion of the premium. The ceding of insurance does not legally discharge the Group from its primary liability for the full amount of the policies, and the Group will be required to pay the loss and bear collection risk if the reinsurer fails to meet its obligations under the reinsurance or retrocessional agreement.

The following tables provide a breakdown of the Group's written and earned premiums and losses and loss adjustment expenses from direct business, reinsurance assumed, and reinsurance ceded for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023:

The Group is exposed to the credit risk of the reinsurers, including the risk that one of its reinsurers becomes insolvent or otherwise unable or unwilling to pay policyholder claims. This credit risk is generally mitigated by either selecting well capitalized, highly rated authorized capacity providers or requiring that the capacity provider post collateral to secure the reinsured risks, which, in some instances, exceeds the related reinsurance recoverable. Allowances are established for amounts deemed uncollectible.

The Group evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers on a regular basis and monitors concentrations of credit risk with reinsurers. At December 31, 2025, the reinsurance balance recoverable on reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses was $1,195.6 million (December 31, 2024: $1,255.6 million) and the reinsurance balance recoverable on paid losses was $438.7 million (December 31, 2024: $278.4 million). In evaluating the allowance for expected credit losses, the Group assesses the probability of default and loss given default for each reinsurer. This uses counterparty ratings from a major rating agency and an assessment of the

------

current market conditions for the likelihood of default. Although the Group has not experienced any credit losses to date, an inability of its reinsurers or retrocessionaires to meet their obligations to it over the relevant exposure periods for any reason could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations. Of the Group's reinsurance balances recoverable on paid losses and on reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses at December 31, 2025, 87.1% is recoverable from reinsurers rated A- or higher by major rating agencies, 7.7% is collateralized by our reinsurers, and 5.2% is recoverable from reinsurers rated lower than A- by major rating agencies (December 31, 2024: 89.4%, 8.8% and 1.8%, respectively).

The allowance for expected credit losses of the Group's reinsurance recoverables on paid losses and on reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses was $0.3 million and $0.9 million at December 31, 2025, respectively (December 31, 2024: $0.2 million and $0.8 million).

The following table provides a roll forward of the allowance for expected credit losses of the Group's reinsurance balances recoverable on paid losses and reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses:

The Group has entered into various internal quota share and excess of loss retrocession agreements through which FUL and FIID cedes some of its business to FIBL each year.

**11.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Long Term Debt and Preference Securities**

***Long-term debt***

On June 13, 2025, the Group issued $400.0 million of its 7.750% Fixed-Rate Reset Subordinated Notes due June 15, 2055 (collectively, the "Subordinated Notes"), with interest payable on June 15 and December 15 of each year, which commenced on December 15, 2025. From the issue date to, but excluding, June 15, 2035, the Subordinated Notes will bear interest at a fixed rate of 7.750% per annum. From and including June 15, 2035, and every five years on June 15 thereafter, the interest rate will reset to the then-current five-year U.S. Treasury rate plus 4.280%, as determined on the applicable reset date. The Subordinated Notes are redeemable at the applicable redemption price, subject to the terms described in the indenture for the Subordinated Notes. However, the Subordinated Notes may not be redeemed if enhanced capital requirements, as established by the Bermuda Monetary Authority ("BMA"), would be breached immediately before or after giving effect to the redemption of such notes, unless the Group replaces the capital represented by the Subordinated Notes to be redeemed or repaid with capital having equal or better capital treatment as the notes under applicable BMA rules. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Subordinated Notes may not be redeemed prior to June 15, 2030 unless the BMA does not object to such redemption, having been provided notice of the redemption, and the conditions in the foregoing sentence are satisfied. The Subordinated Notes contain covenants, including limitations on liens on the stock of certain designated subsidiaries, limitations on consolidations, mergers, amalgamations and sales of substantially all assets and certain reporting obligations.

On October 16, 2020, the Group issued $105.0 million, and on October 20, 2020, the Group issued a further $20.0 million of its 6.625% Fixed-Rate Reset Junior Subordinated Notes due April 1, 2041 (collectively, the "Junior Notes") with interest payable on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing on April 1, 2021. The interest rate is reset on April 1, 2026 at the U.S. five-year treasury rate on the reset interest determination date plus 6.323%, and every five years on April 1 thereafter. The Junior Notes are redeemable at par value for six months after each interest rate reset date. The Junior Notes contain covenants, including limitations on liens on the stock of certain designated subsidiaries, limitations on consolidations, mergers, amalgamations and sales of substantially all assets and certain reporting obligations.

On June 18, 2020, the Group issued $300.0 million and on July 2, 2020 the Group issued a further $30.0 million of its 4.875% Senior Notes due June 30, 2030 (collectively, the "Senior Notes"), with interest payable on June 30 and December 30 of each year, commencing on December 30, 2020. The Senior Notes are redeemable at the applicable redemption price, subject to the terms

------

described in the indenture for the Senior Notes. However, the Senior Notes may not be redeemed at any time prior to their maturity if enhanced capital requirements, as established by the BMA, would be breached immediately before or after giving effect to the redemption of such notes, unless, the Group replaces the capital represented by the Senior Notes to be redeemed with capital having equal or better capital treatment as the notes under applicable BMA rules. The Senior Notes contain covenants, including limitations on liens on the stock of certain designated subsidiaries, limitations on consolidations, mergers, amalgamations and sales of substantially all assets and certain reporting obligations.

The following table sets forth the principal amount of the debt issued as well as the unamortized discount and debt issuance costs at December 31, 2025 and 2024:

***Preference securities***

In 2015, the Group issued shares of cumulative 9% preference securities with a redemption price equal to $10,000 per share, plus all declared and unpaid dividends (the "Preference Securities"). The Preference Securities were subject to mandatory redemption on June 15, 2050. The Preference Securities were subject to redemption at the option of the Group as follows: (i) if the redemption occurred prior to December 15, 2025, at an amount equal to the present value (calculated using the Treasury Rate for the remaining term to December 15, 2025, plus 0.5%) of the redemption price plus the remaining scheduled dividend payments up to December 15, 2025; or (ii) if the redemption occurred after December 15, 2025, at an amount equal to the redemption price plus all accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, through the date of redemption. On June 13, 2025, the Group redeemed its Preference Securities at their liquidation preference of $58.4 million plus a make-whole payment of $1.2 million, which is included in corporate and other expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income. At December 31, 2025, there were no Preference Securities outstanding.

Holders of Preference Securities were entitled to receive quarterly dividend payments in the amount per share equal to 9% of the $10,000 liquidation preference per annum.

During the year, the Group paid quarterly preference dividends of $2.6 million (2024: $5.3 million, 2023: $5.2 million) to holders of the Group's Preference Securities. The preference dividends are recorded as a component of financing costs on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

(1)Letters of credit can be issued under the secured letter of credit facilities for the purposes of supporting insurance and reinsurance obligations.

(2)The Facility agreements allow for additional capacity in the form of accordions and uncommitted amounts. The maximum additional capacity from the lenders as of December 31, 2025 was: Lloyds Bank plc $65.0 million; Citibank N.A. London Branch $200.0 million; Barclays Bank plc $65.0 million; and Bank of Montreal $60.0 million.

The following table shows the value of the collateral underlying the secured letter of credit facilities:

| Bank of Montreal | 51.9 | 46.2 |
| **Total** | $**177.1** | $**216.1** |

---

The Group's letter of credit facilities are generally bilateral agreements with one to three year terms. The letters of credit issued under the secured letter of credit facilities are fully collateralized. Each of the above facilities are subject to various affirmative, negative and financial covenants that the Group considers to be customary for such borrowings including certain minimum net worth and maximum debt to capitalization standards.

***b.Legal proceedings***

Similar to the rest of the insurance and reinsurance industry, the Group is from time to time subject to litigation, arbitration and other dispute resolution proceedings in the ordinary course of its business. Such matters generally arise from questions of insurance or reinsurance coverage, including coverage disputes arising from notable natural catastrophes and man-made loss events, the interpretation or application of policy or contract terms, claims handling activities or the enforcement of the Group's rights and obligations under insurance or reinsurance agreements, and may involve efforts to collect amounts due to the Group or to defend against claims asserted by policyholders, cedants, reinsurers or other counterparties. The Group may also be involved in the investigation, conduct and defense of other potential litigation, disputes and regulatory or governmental inquiries, including matters relating to underwriting or administrative errors or omissions, employment-related claims or other operational or commercial disputes, from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Pursuant to the Group's insurance and reinsurance arrangements, a number of these disputes are resolved by arbitration or other forms of alternative dispute resolution, or through negotiated resolution, and the Group considers the status of such matters in establishing its reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses, as appropriate. The

------

Group is not a party to any litigation or governmental or other proceeding that it believes will have a material impact on the Group's financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

***c.Concentration of credit risk***

Credit risk arises out of the failure of a counterparty to perform according to the terms of the contract. The Group underwrites a significant portion of its (re)insurance business through brokers and as a result credit risk exists should any of these brokers be unable to fulfil their contractual obligations with respect to the payments of premium or failure to pass on claims, if there is risk transfer, to the Group.

The Group has policies and standards in place to manage and monitor the credit risk of intermediaries with a focus on day-to-day monitoring of the largest positions. Note 10 (Reinsurance and Retrocessional Reinsurance) describes the credit risk related to the Group's reinsurance recoverables.

The following table sets forth the Group's premiums written by broker that individually contributed more than 10% of total gross premiums written for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2025** | **2024** | **2023** |
| Aon plc | 19% | 13% | 13% |
| Marsh & McLennan Companies Inc | 16% | 20% | 18% |

---

No other broker or other (re)insurance intermediary individually accounted for more than 10% of GPW in respect of the fiscal years 2025, 2024 and 2023.

***d. Lease commitments***

The Group's leases primarily consist of operating leases for its offices in the U.K., Bermuda and Republic of Ireland. During 2024, the Group entered into a new lease in the Republic of Ireland. During 2023, the Group entered into new leases in the U.K. and Bermuda.

Total expected lease payments are based on the lease payments specified in the contract and the stated term, including any options to extend or terminate that are reasonably certain to be exercised.

The Group's operating leases have remaining lease terms of up to 8.2 years, some of which include options to extend the lease term. The Group considers these options when determining the lease term and measuring its lease liability and right-of-use asset. In addition, the Group's lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Short-term operating leases with an initial term of twelve months or less were excluded from the Group's Consolidated Balance Sheet and represent an inconsequential amount of operating lease expense. These were entered into for the use of various office fixtures such as photocopiers and other IT equipment.

As most leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Group recognized operating lease expense of $2.1 million (2024: $2.0 million, 2023: $1.5 million). The cash outflows resulting from the operating leases amounted to $2.6 million (2024: $1.0 million, 2023: $0.9 million).

The following table presents the Group's operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **December 31, 2025** | **December 31, 2024** |
| Operating lease right-of-use assets <sup>(1)</sup> | $9.8 | $11.1 |
| Operating lease liabilities <sup>(2)</sup> | $12.4 | $13.0 |
| Weighted-average remaining lease term (years) | 6.4 | 7.2 |
| Weight-average discount rate | 10.8% | 10.8% |

**13.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Related Party Transactions**

On January 3, 2023, TFP acquired 9.9% of the common shares of the Group. Certain directors, executive officers and management of TFP also own common shares of the Group.

On December 20, 2022, the Group and The Fidelis Partnership entered into a rolling 10-year framework agreement (the "Framework Agreement"), effective January 1, 2023, that governs the ongoing relationship between the two groups. Years one to three roll automatically, whereas from year four onwards, the Framework Agreement will roll at the sole written election of the Group, with such election to be delivered at least 90 days prior to the commencement of the subsequent contract year. Any decision by the Group to elect not to roll the Framework Agreement will mean that the remainder of the 10-year terms then in effect will continue in place. An election to roll the 10-year term of the Framework Agreement was delivered on October 1, 2025.

Substantially all of the underwriting activities of FIBL, FUL and FIID have been outsourced to the corresponding operating subsidiaries of TFP on a jurisdictional basis. TFP manages origination, underwriting, underwriting administration and claims handling under delegated authority agreements with the Group. Other services provided by TFP to the Group include sourcing and administering the outwards reinsurance program, and support with business planning, capital management, insurance contract accounting and information technology. The Framework Agreement provides for the payment of the following fees with effect from January 1, 2023:

a.Ceding commissions: (i) a ceding commission of 11.5% of net premiums written of open market business procured by The Fidelis Partnership on or after January 1, 2023; (ii) a ceding commission of 3.0% of net premiums written of business sourced by The Fidelis Partnership via third party managing general underwriters on or after January 1, 2023; and (iii) a portfolio management fee of 3.0% of net premiums written of the business sourced by The Fidelis Partnership.

b.Profit commission: a profit commission of 20.0% of the aggregate operating profit (defined as underwriting income on business written by The Fidelis Partnership, subject to certain parameters for the allocation of general and administrative expenses, financing costs and other items, and excluding investment income), subject to a hurdle rate of return of 5.0% of underwriting return on equity.

For insurance contracts sourced by The Fidelis Partnership's Managing General Agent incubator platform, Pine Walk, the fees and commissions follow separately negotiated arrangements and will not attract additional commissions under the terms of the Framework Agreement other than the portfolio management fee of 3.0%.

The following table summarizes The Fidelis Partnership commissions earned, which are included in policy acquisition expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2025** | **2024** | **2023** |
| Ceding commission expense | $325.0 | $311.1 | $166.2 |
| Profit commission expense | 3.8 |  | 59.1 |
| Total commissions | $**328.8** | $**311.1** | $**225.3** |

---

Amounts receivable from TFP at December 31, 2025 of $174.8 million (December 31, 2024: $208.9 million) primarily consist of amounts collected by TFP on behalf of the Group that were not remitted prior to the end of the period. Amounts payable to TFP at December 31, 2025 of $457.7 million (December 31, 2024: $385.8 million) primarily consist of amounts payable to TFP for ceding and profit commissions, and claims paid by TFP on the Group's behalf.

The Framework Agreement also provides that, in respect of commissions and profit commissions on ceded quota share business the Group shall retain 1.0% of reinsurance premiums ceded and the remainder is to be paid to TFP. Commissions on ceded business for

------

the year ended December 31, 2025 of $115.9 million (2024: $104.8 million, 2023: $54.4 million) were paid to TFP. For the year ended December 31, 2025 profit commissions of $27.5 million (2024: $68.6 million, 2023: $31.6 million) were paid to TFP.

Insurance contracts sourced by Pine Walk contain profit commissions based on the results of each individual contract. The expense for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $53.4 million (2024: $51.6 million, 2023: $15.9 million) and was included within policy acquisition expenses.

TFP provides the Group with certain support services on a cost-plus basis, such as support with business planning, insurance contract accounting and information technology. Included within general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025 are charges of $4.5 million (2024: $6.5 million, 2023: $5.6 million) from TFP for such services.

**14.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Statutory Requirements and Dividend Restrictions**

The Group's insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries are governed by laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which they conduct business, as outlined below. These regulations impose limitations on the amount of dividends that can be paid by those subsidiaries without obtaining prior consent from the regulatory authorities. Additionally, they mandate minimum statutory capital and surplus requirements based on the Group's current operations.

The statutory capital and surplus and minimum required statutory capital and surplus for the Group's regulatory jurisdictions is as follows:

(1)Required statutory capital and surplus represents the Enhanced Capital Requirement ("ECR").

(2)Required statutory capital and surplus represents the Solvency UK/Solvency II Solvency Capital Requirement ("SCR").

Statutory net income/(loss) of the Group's regulated insurance operations are detailed below:

Significant differences between the statutory financial statements and statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP are: (i) the statutory financial statements of FIBL include a liability for a letter of credit in favor of FUL, and (ii) at December 31, 2023, the BMA required the exclusion of the net deferred tax asset of $90.0 million in connection with the implementation of the Bermuda corporate income tax (Note 18, Income Taxes)) from FIBL's statutory financial statements. The BMA revised the requirements so that the net deferred tax asset is admitted in the statutory financial statements at December 31, 2024.

There were no prescribed or permitted regulatory accounting practices for any of the Group's insurance or reinsurance entities that resulted in reported statutory surplus that differed from that which would have been reported under the prescribed practices of the respective regulatory authorities.

***Bermuda operations***

The BMA acts as group supervisor and has designated FIBL as the 'designated insurer' of the Group. In accordance with the Group supervision and insurance group solvency rules, the Group is required to prepare and submit audited Group U.S. GAAP financial statements, a Group statutory financial return ("SFR"), a Group capital and solvency return ("CSR") and a Group Quarterly Financial Return ("QFR"). FIBL is also required to prepare and submit to the BMA its own annual audited U.S. GAAP financial statements, SFR and CSR.

As a Class 4 (re)insurer, FIBL is required to maintain available statutory economic capital and surplus at a level equal to or greater than the ECR. The ECR is the higher of the prescribed minimum solvency margin ("MSM") or the required capital calculated by reference to the Bermuda Solvency Capital Requirement ("BSCR") model. The BSCR model is a risk-based capital model that provides a method for determining a (re)insurer's capital requirements (statutory capital and surplus) by taking into account the risk characteristics of different aspects of the (re)insurer's business. In addition, the Group is required to maintain available statutory economic capital and surplus at a level equal to or in excess of the group ECR which is established by reference to the Group BSCR model.

Under the Insurance Act, FIBL is restricted from payment of dividends for amounts greater than 25% of the prior year's statutory capital and surplus without seeking prior approval from the BMA by submitting an affidavit stating that the proposed reduction of

------

capital will not cause the insurer to fail to meet its relevant solvency and liquidity margins. At December 31, 2025 the maximum dividend FIBL can pay without approval from the BMA, having met minimum levels of statutory capital and surplus requirements, was approximately $439.2 million (December 31, 2024: $441.0 million).

***United Kingdom operations***

FUL is authorized by the PRA and regulated by the FCA and the PRA and is subject to the Solvency UK regime. The Solvency UK regime has established capital requirements, risk management and disclosure standards. FUL is required to meet a SCR that is calibrated to ensure a 99.5% confidence level in its ability to meet obligations over a twelve-month period. FUL calculates its SCR in accordance with the standard formula prescribed in the Solvency UK regulations as the assumptions underlying this formula are appropriate for FUL's risk profile.

The PRA regulatory requirements impose no explicit restrictions on the U.K. subsidiaries' ability to pay a dividend, but FUL would have to notify the PRA 28 days prior to any proposed dividend payment. In addition, the Group's U.K. subsidiaries must comply with the United Kingdom Companies Act of 2006, which provides that dividends may only be paid out of profits available for that purpose.

***Ireland operations***

FIID is regulated by the CBI and is also subject to the Solvency II regime. FIID is required to meet its SCR which, as for FUL, is calibrated to ensure a 99.5% confidence level in its ability to meet obligations over a twelve-month period. FIID calculates its SCR in accordance with the standard formula prescribed in the Solvency II regulations as the assumptions underlying this formula are appropriate for FIID's risk profile.

The regulatory requirements impose no explicit restrictions on FIID's ability to pay a dividend, however FIID must remain in compliance with its SCR following the payment of a dividend. Any proposed dividend payments must be notified to the CBI prior to being made. Under Irish law dividends may only be distributed from profits available for distribution, which consist of accumulated realized profits less accumulated realized losses.

On August 6, 2025, the Group's Board of Directors approved a renewal to the existing share repurchase program (the "Program"), bringing the total current authorization to $200.0 million. Pursuant to the Program, FIHL may repurchase shares through open market purchases pursuant to Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), accelerated share repurchases or privately negotiated transactions, as well as pursuant to a trading plan meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act.

The following table summarizes common shares repurchased for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2025** | **2024** | **2023** |
| Common shares repurchased | 15184976 | 6570003 |  |
| Cost of shares repurchased, inclusive of commissions | $261.4 | $105.5 | $— |
| Weighted average price per share, inclusive of commissions | $17.22 | $16.06 | $— |

Included in common shares repurchased in the year ended December 31, 2025 were 7,185,178 common shares repurchased from CVC Falcon Holdings Limited ("CVC"), a longstanding shareholder, for $125.0 million in privately negotiated transactions.

Included in common shares repurchased in the year ended December 31, 2025, were 1,487,359 (2024: 577,383, 2023: $nil) common shares repurchased from TFP for $25.6 million (2024: $9.3 million, 2023: $nil). These transactions were effected at a price equal to the average price paid by the Group on such day for share repurchases from all other shareholders. The repurchase mechanism follows a prescribed format designed to keep TFP's ownership of FIHL to below 9.8752%. Common shares repurchased by the Group are retired. Common shares repurchased by the Group prior to June 30, 2025 that were held as treasury shares have been retired. The unutilized amount of the share repurchase authorization at December 31, 2025 was $49.4 million.

**17.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Share Compensation and Employee Benefit Plans**

**Share Compensation**

At December 31, 2025, the Group's share-based awards consisted of Restricted Share Units ("RSUs") and Performance Share Units ("PSUs") with and without market conditions.

***2023 Plan***

On May 15, 2023, shareholders approved the establishment of the 2023 Share Incentive Plan (the "2023 Plan"). The 2023 Plan authorizes the issuance of options, restricted shares, restricted share units, share appreciation rights or other share-based awards to the Group's employees and directors. The total number of shares available under the 2023 Plan is 4,913,119. At December 31, 2025, 2,437,367 remain available for grant pursuant to the 2023 Plan.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the 2023 Plan share compensation expense of $7.9 million (2024: $7.8 million, 2023: $6.5 million) was recorded in general and administrative expenses. The related income tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $3.0 million (2024: $1.5 million, 2023: $0.3 million). At December 31, 2025, there was an unamortized balance of $12.5 million (December 31, 2024: $9.8 million) for the 2023 Plan, which will be recognized over the remaining service period. The fair value of awards that vested during the year ended December 31, 2025 was $2.1 million (2024: $6.4 million, 2023: $nil).

**Summary of Share Compensation Activity**

***a.Restricted share units***

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Number of shares** | **Weighted average grant date fair value** |
| Outstanding at December 31, 2024 | 555230 | $14.18 |
| Granted | 598051 | 15.58 |

| Forfeited | (66201) | 14.87 |
| Outstanding at December 31, 2025 | 990831 | $14.96 |

---

The RSUs generally cliff vest after 3 years, except for RSUs to certain directors that cliff vest after 1 year. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we also granted awards to certain employees that vest in accordance with a three-year graded vesting schedule: 25% on the first anniversary of the grant date, 25% vest on the second anniversary of the grant date, and 50% vest on the third anniversary of the grant date. RSUs awarded are subject to continued provision of services through the applicable vesting date and contain certain restrictions during the vesting period, relating to, among other things, forfeiture in the event of termination of

employment or service and transferability. The outstanding RSUs are expected to be amortized over a weighted average period of 1.8 years.

***b.Performance share units without market conditions***

Fidelis grants PSUs without market conditions to employees that cliff vest after 3 years, subject to the achievement of established performance criteria and continued service during the applicable performance period. Final payouts depend on the level of achievement and can vary between 0% and 200%. The outstanding PSUs are expected to be amortized over a weighted average period of 1.8 years.

***c.Performance share units with market conditions***

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Number of shares** | **Weighted average grant date fair value** |
| Outstanding at December 31, 2024 | 188096 | $14.22 |
| Granted | 216636 | 14.93 |
| Vested |  |  |
| Forfeited | (35432) | 14.08 |
| Outstanding at December 31, 2025 | 369300 | $14.17 |

---

Fidelis grants PSUs with market conditions that cliff vest after 3 years, subject to the achievement of a target of FIHL's share price relative to book value per diluted share at the end of the performance period. Final payouts depend on the level of achievement and can vary between 0% and 200%. The outstanding PSUs are expected to be amortized over a weighted average period of 1.7 years.

The grant date fair value of the performance awards is measured using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which incorporated assumptions of the estimated volatility of 35.0% (December 31, 2024: 35.9%) and the risk-free rate of 4.2% (December 31, 2024: 4.4%). Expected volatility was calculated using historic volatility of FIHL's share price and peer volatility.

**Employee Benefit Plans**

The Group has entered into an agreement with all employees for defined contribution pension plans, based upon a percentage of eligible compensation. The Group contributed $1.8 million to its defined contribution plans for the year ended December 31, 2025 (2024: $1.6 million, 2023: $1.2 million).

**Legacy Share-Based Compensation Plans**

Prior to the occurrence of the Separation Transactions (Note 19 (Separation Transactions)), the Group issued RSUs pursuant to plans approved by the Board of Directors in 2016 and 2018. For the year ended December 31, 2023, total compensation expense of $21.0 million, relating to the legacy plans was included in net gain on distribution of The Fidelis Partnership in the Consolidated Statements of Income. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, there was no unamortized balance relating to the legacy plans.

**18.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Income Taxes**

As discussed in Note 2 (Significant Accounting Policies), the Group has applied ASU 2023-09 "Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" retrospectively by providing the required disclosures for all periods presented within this Note.

Income before income taxes is split between the Group's operating jurisdictions based on the jurisdiction of tax residence:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2025** | **2024** | **2023** |
| United Kingdom | $134.1 | $76.1 | $1687.4 |
| Bermuda | 152.6 | 67.0 | 341.2 |
| Republic of Ireland | (11.1) | (6.7) | 18.6 |
| **Total** | $**275.6** | $**136.4** | $**2047.2** |

---

------

**United Kingdom**

FIHL, FUL and FSL are tax resident in the U.K. and are subject to relevant taxes in the U.K. The U.K. rate of corporate income tax increased from 19% to 25% from April 1, 2023.

As FIHL is a UK tax resident company, the U.K. tax authority may assess a Pillar Two top-up tax to be collected from our UK entities through an Income Inclusion Rule to the extent that our non-U.K. operations do not incur a sufficient level of income tax under a framework established by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD").

The 2023 and 2024 tax years are open to examination in the U.K.

**Bermuda**

On December 27, 2023, the Government of Bermuda passed legislation enacting the Corporate Income Tax Act 2023, which applies a 15% corporate income tax to Bermuda businesses that are part of a multinational enterprise group with annual revenue of €750 million or more, effective on or after January 1, 2025. Consequently, profits in FIBL are subject to tax at a statutory corporate income tax rate of 15% in 2025 (2024: 0%, 2023: 0%).

In January 2025, the OECD published administrative guidance in respect of measures proposed and implemented by certain jurisdictions because of Pillar Two. This guidance states that the deferred tax expense resulting from the reversal of a deferred tax asset recognized in respect of the Bermuda Economic Transition Adjustment ("ETA") will not be considered to be a covered tax for the purposes of the Pillar Two top-up tax calculation. The guidance provides a two-year grace period (2025 and 2026) during which such deferred tax expense (up to 20% of the total) will be considered to be a covered tax.

An amendment to Bermuda legislation eliminated reductions to the tax basis recognized as part of the Economic Transition Adjustment in 2023. This was enacted in Bermuda on December 11, 2025 in the Corporate Income Tax Amendment (No.2) Act and resulted in a deferred tax benefit of $23.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2025. The Bermuda government amendment was a response to 2025 OECD guidance.

A U.K. Pillar Two top-up tax expense of $21.4 million has been recognized in the year ended December 31, 2025 in connection with the December 11, 2025 Bermuda amendment. This expense arose because, as of December 31, 2025, the U.K. government had not enacted corresponding legislation. On December 4, 2025, the U.K. published draft Finance Bill (No.2) 2025 that would align U.K. tax law with the OECD guidance, if enacted. We anticipate reversing the accrued top-up tax liability upon enactment of the proposed U.K. legislation.

**Republic of Ireland**

FIID is tax resident in the Republic of Ireland. In addition, FSL has elected for its Irish branch to not be subject to U.K. income taxes. Both FIID and the Irish Branch of FSL are subject to Irish corporate income tax on their trading profits at a rate of 12.5%. In 2025, our Irish entities fell under the transitional Pillar Two safe-harbor exemption, and as such Ireland's Qualifying Domestic Top-up Tax rate of 15%, assessed at a jurisdictional level, did not apply.

The 2021 to 2024 tax years are open to examination in Ireland.

The Group income tax (expense)/benefit for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 was as follows:

(1)This row consists exclusively of Pillar Two top-up taxes charged under the Income Inclusion Rule in the U.K. under Finance (No.2) Act 2023. Finance (No. 2) Bill 2025 was published in the U.K. on December 4, 2025 and aligns U.K. legislation with OECD guidance on the treatment of the deferred tax benefit arising on the de-recognition of a portion of the Bermuda ETA. If the Bill is enacted in 2026, our liability for top-up taxes in 2025 will be reversed at the date of enactment.

The components of the Group's net deferred tax asset at December 31, 2025 and 2024 are as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **December 31, 2025** | **December 31, 2024** |
| **Deferred tax assets:** | | |
| Intangible assets | $94.0 | $104.4 |
| Net operating loss carryforwards | 5.0 | 27.5 |
| Other temporary differences | 2.8 | 2.9 |
| Share-based compensation | 3.2 | 2.4 |
| Reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses | 8.4 | 9.1 |
| **Total deferred tax assets** | **113.4** | **146.3** |
| **Deferred tax liabilities:** |  |  |
| Deferred policy acquisition costs |  | (23.5) |
| Fixed assets | (1.1) | (1.7) |
| Fixed maturity securities, available-for-sale | (4.4) |  |
| **Total deferred tax liabilities** | **(5.5)** | **(25.2)** |
| Valuation allowance | (2.2) | (2.2) |
| **Net deferred tax asset** | $**105.7** | $**118.9** |

---

The operating loss carryforwards comprise $14.9 million (2024: $98.5 million) arising in the U.K and $10.6 million (2024: $5.5 million) arising in the Republic of Ireland. There is no expiry date for the losses. A valuation allowance of $2.2 million (2024: $2.2 million) has been made against certain loss carryforwards in the U.K. as the Group considers that it is more likely than not that these will not be recovered against future income. The Group's valuation allowance assessment is based on all available information including projections of future taxable income from each tax-paying component in each tax jurisdiction. Pursuant to the 2023 enactment of the Bermuda corporate income tax and ETA, FIBL recorded a net deferred tax asset of $90.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The ETA is comprised of three components, intangible assets, reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses, and deferred policy acquisition costs; these have been split in the table above to distinguish the differing rates of run-off. Based on current tax law, the ETA deferred tax asset is expected to be utilized over a fifteen-year period, with substantially all of the deferred tax asset expected to be utilized by December 31, 2034, due to the ten-year utilization period for the deferred tax asset recognized on intangible assets.

The Group has not recognized a deferred tax liability with respect to the undistributed earnings of FIBL or FIID as neither withholding taxes nor other incomes taxes are expected to apply to any distributions from those entities.

The following table presents corporate income taxes paid net of refunds:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2025** | **2024** | **2023** |
| United Kingdom | $24.5 | $2.3 | $14.7 |
| Bermuda | 2.2 |  |  |
| Republic of Ireland |  | 3.3 |  |
| **Total income tax paid net of refunds** | $26.7 | $5.6 | $14.7 |

The following table presents a reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized tax benefits:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2025** | **2024** | **2023** |
| **Balance, beginning of year** | $75.0 | $75.0 | $— |
| Additions based on tax positions related to the current year |  |  | 75.0 |
| **Balance, end of year** | $**75.0** | $**75.0** | $**75.0** |

---

Included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2025 is $75.0 million (2024: $75.0 million, 2023: $75.0 million) of tax benefits, that if recognized, would reduce the effective tax rate.

**19.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Separation Transactions**

On January 3, 2023, the Group completed a transaction pursuant to which (i) Pine Walk and FML were distributed to shareholders to form a new managing general underwriting business, The Fidelis Partnership and (ii) The Fidelis Partnership was acquired by a consortium of investors. Following the consummation of the Separation Transactions, The Fidelis Partnership acquired 9.9% of the common shares in the Group.

------

The Separation Transactions resulted in certain shareholders receiving cash in lieu of their interest in The Fidelis Partnership. As a result, the distribution of The Fidelis Partnership was recorded at its fair value of $1,775.0 million. The fair value was determined in accordance with the requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 820 – Fair Value Measurements ("ASC 820"). We obtained the services of a third-party independent valuation expert in arriving at that determination of fair value. ASC 820 explains the concept of fair value for financial reporting. Under ASC 820, fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity specific measurement. The objective of ASC 820 is to estimate the price at which an orderly transaction to sell the asset would take place between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions (that is, an exit price at the measurement date from the perspective of a market participant).

When a price for an identical asset is not observable, a reporting entity measures fair value using another valuation technique that maximizes the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs. Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk.

For purposes of the valuation of The Fidelis Partnership, we used an income approach using a discounted cash flow methodology, and a market approach using comparable listed trading and precedent transaction multiples. These approaches generated a range of values for The Fidelis Partnership of $1.7 billion to $1.9 billion. The determined fair value for The Fidelis Partnership of $1,775.0 million was based on the price of the most recent transactions in The Fidelis Partnership shares, and close to the mid-point of the valuation range. On January 3, 2023, following the distribution of The Fidelis Partnership to shareholders of the Group, certain shareholders sold their shares, and certain third parties purchased shares, in The Fidelis Partnership at a price per share determined using a fair value of $1,775.0 million.

Immediately prior to the consummation of the Separation Transactions, the Group accelerated the vesting of all unvested Restricted Share Units ("RSUs"). This resulted in the acceleration of compensation expense of $21.0 million and an employer payroll tax expense of $17.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2023. The RSUs and warrants were exercised on the date of the Separation Transactions, resulting in the issuance of 13,553,681 common shares. The RSUs were net settled, resulting in a $50.6 million reduction of additional paid-in capital for the employees' tax obligations with respect to these awards. The exercise of the warrants triggered the payment of cumulative dividends of $34.1 million.

The distribution of The Fidelis Partnership to shareholders of the Group resulted in the deconsolidation of net assets of $67.9 million, and the cancellation of 97,327,049 common shares in the Group. Following the Separation Transactions there were 110,771,897 common shares issued and outstanding. The distribution resulted in the elimination of the Group's non-controlling interests, all of which related to the subsidiaries of Pine Walk.

In connection with the successful consummation of the Separation Transactions, the Group incurred professional fees of $28.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2023.

The net gain on distribution of The Fidelis Partnership of $1,639.1 million has been calculated as the fair value of The Fidelis Partnership of $1,775.0 million, less the net assets of The Fidelis Partnership of $67.9 million and less the direct costs of the Separation Transactions of $68.0 million. Direct costs primarily related to professional fees of $28.6 million, acceleration of compensation expense of $21.0 million and an employer payroll tax expense of $17.3 million. Within operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the revaluation of The Fidelis Partnership of $1,707.1 million, being the fair value of The Fidelis Partnership of $1,775.0 million less the net assets of $67.9 million, is shown as a non-cash adjustment to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities.

On January 3, 2023, the financial statements of Pine Walk and FML have been deconsolidated and the non-controlling interests were disposed upon consummation of the Separation Transactions.

**20.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Subsequent Events**

On February 20, 2026, the Board of Directors approved an increase to the current common share repurchase authorization to $400 million, through a combination of open market purchases, accelerated share repurchases and privately negotiated transactions.

Subsequent to December 31, 2025 and through the period ended March 3, 2026, the Group repurchased 10,561,467 common shares at an aggregate cost of $200.8 million and an average price of $19.01 per common share. Included in subsequent common shares repurchased were 8,597,170 common shares from CVC at $19.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $163.3 million in a privately negotiated transaction. This resulted in a pro rata repurchase of 942,014 common shares from The Fidelis Partnership for $17.9 million. Following this transaction, CVC no longer holds any ownership interest in Fidelis Insurance Group. The unutilized amount of the share repurchase authorization subsequent to these repurchases was $217.7 million.

On February 25, 2026, the Company announced that it intends to change its name to Pelagos Insurance Capital Limited ("Pelagos Insurance Capital") and is expected to begin trading under the new ticker symbol (NYSE: PLGO) in May 2026, subject to all necessary regulatory and legal approvals.

## Exhibit 2.1

**Exhibit 2.1**

**DESCRIPTION OF THE REGISTRANT'S SECURITIES REGISTERED UNDER SECTION 12 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED**

*The following description of FIHL's share capital summarizes certain provisions of the Amended and Restated Bye-Laws. Such summary does not purport to be complete and are subject to, and is qualified in their entirety by reference to, all of the provisions of the Amended and Restated Bye-Laws and applicable Bermuda law. We urge you to read the Amended and Restated Bye-Laws which are incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the annual report on Form 20-F (the "report") of which this exhibit forms a part for a complete understanding of the Amended and Restated Bye-Laws. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the report or in the Amended and Restated Bye-Laws, as applicable.*

***General***

FIHL is a Bermuda exempted company registered with the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda under registration number 49414. We are incorporated under the name "Fidelis Insurance Holdings Limited." Our registered office is at Wellesley House South, 90 Pitts Bay Road, Pembroke, Bermuda, HM08.

The objects for which we are formed and incorporated are unrestricted and we have the capacity, rights, powers and privileges of a natural person. We therefore are able to undertake activities without restriction on our capacity.

***Share Capital***

At December 31, 2025, our authorized share capital consists of 600,000,000 common shares, par value $0.01 per share, and there are 96,651,534 of our common shares outstanding.

***Common Shares***

Other than the Allocation Right, our common shares have no pre-emptive rights or other rights to subscribe for additional shares, and no rights of redemption, conversion or exchange. Under certain circumstances and subject to the provisions of the Amended and Restated Bye-Laws, FIHL may be required to make an offer to repurchase shares held by shareholders. All of our outstanding common shares are fully paid and non-assessable. For additional information regarding certain provisions relating to our common shares under the Bermuda Companies Act and our Amended and Restated Bye-Laws, compared to a Delaware corporation, please see the section entitled "*Comparison of Bermuda Corporate Law and U.S. Corporate Law*" below.

***Common Share Dividend and Distribution Rights***

Under Bermuda law, a company may not declare or pay dividends or make a distribution out of contributed surplus if there are reasonable grounds for believing that: (i) it is, or would after the payment be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due; or (ii) the realizable value of its assets would thereafter be less than its liabilities. Under the Amended and Restated Bye-Laws, each common share is entitled to dividends, as and when dividends are declared by the Board, subject to any preference dividend right of the holders of any preference securities. The boards of directors of our operating subsidiaries have absolute discretion, subject to statutory requirements, regulatory requirements and the terms of our existing indebtedness, to declare dividends at any time. The Board will decide the appropriate use of any funds received by way of dividend from an operating subsidiary, including, possibly, declaration of dividends or share repurchases by FIHL. See Item 8 of the report for more information on our dividend policy.

***Voting Rights***

Holders of our common shares have one vote for each common share held by them and are entitled to vote, on a non-cumulative basis, at all meetings of the shareholders.

------

***Rights Upon Liquidation***

In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of FIHL, the holders of our common shares will be entitled to share equally and ratably in our assets, if any, remaining after the payment of all of our debts and liabilities, subject to the liquidation preference on any issued and outstanding preference securities.

***Variation of Rights***

If at any time FIHL has more than one class of shares, the rights attaching to any class, unless otherwise provided for by the terms of issue of the relevant class, may be varied with the approval of the Board and with the consent in writing of the holders of a Simple Majority (as defined in the Amended and Restated Bye-Laws) of that class or with the sanction of a resolution passed by a Simple Majority at a separate general meeting of the holders of the shares of the class at which meeting the necessary quorum will be two persons at least holding or representing by proxy a Simple Majority. The Amended and Restated Bye-Laws specify that the creation or issuance of shares ranking pari passu or senior with existing shares will not, unless expressly provided by the terms of issue of existing shares, vary the rights attached to existing shares.

***Certain Provisions of the Amended and Restated Bye-Laws***

Certain provisions of the Amended and Restated Bye-Laws may have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, defer or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt that a shareholder might consider in its best interest, including an attempt that might result in such shareholder's receipt of a premium over the market price for his or her common shares. These provisions are also designed, in part, to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with the Board, which could result in an improvement of such persons' terms. See Item 3.D. of the report *"Risks Relating to the Common Shares—The Amended and Restated Bye-Laws contain provisions that could impede an attempt to replace or remove the Board or delay or prevent the sale of FIHL, which could diminish the value of the common shares or prevent holders of common shares from receiving premium prices for their common shares in an unsolicited takeover."*

***Number of Directors***

The Amended and Restated Bye-Laws provide that the Board shall have not fewer than five directors and not more than fifteen directors with the exact number of directors to be determined from time to time by resolution adopted by the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the Board.

The Amended and Restated Common Shareholders Agreement entitles the Founders to nominate representative directors to the Board, so long as they each beneficially own a specified minimum percentage of our common shares. Each Founder is entitled to nominate its representative director to the Board for so long such Founder, together with its Shareholder Affiliate Transferees (as defined in the Amended and Restated Common Shareholders Agreement), beneficially owns at least 7.5% of the common shares. TFP Intermediate Holdings II Limited ("TFP HoldCo") is also entitled to nominate its representative director to the Board for so long as TFP HoldCo, together with its Shareholder Affiliate Transferees, beneficially owns at least 50% of the TFP HoldCo. See Item 6.A. of the report for the details of each of the directors appointed by TFP HoldCo and each of the Founders.

In accordance with the terms of the Amended and Restated Bye-Laws, the Board is divided into three classes, designated Class I, Class II and Class III, with members of each class serving staggered three-year terms. Each director will serve for a term ending on the date of our third annual general meeting next following the annual general meeting at which such director was elected; provided that directors initially designated as Class I directors will serve for an initial term ending on the date of our first annual general meeting next following the annual general meeting at which such directors were elected, directors initially designated as Class II directors will serve for an initial term ending on our second annual general meeting next following the annual general meeting at which such directors were elected; and directors initially designated as Class III directors will serve for an initial term ending on our third annual general meeting next following the annual general meeting at which such directors were elected.

------

Our classified Board prevents shareholders from electing an entirely new board at an annual general meeting and could have the effect of delaying or discouraging an acquisition of FIHL or a change in management. The classified board will be in place until the annual general meeting occurring in 2030, following which, all of the directors shall be of one class and shall serve for a term ending at the next following annual general meeting.

***Removal of Directors***

Shareholders representing 80% of the Total Voting Power may, at any general meeting convened and held for such purpose in accordance with the Amended and Restated Bye-Laws, remove a director for certain specified causes, including but not limited to indictment by a court and willful and material failure or refusal to perform his or her duties as a director.

Notice of any such meeting convened for the purpose of removing a director must contain a statement of the intention so to do and be served on such director not less than sixty days before the meeting and at such meeting such director will be entitled to be heard on the motion for such director's removal.

***Shareholder Advance Notice Procedures***

Notice of an annual general meeting and special general meeting must be given to shareholders at least five days before the date of such meeting, stating the date, place and time at which the meeting is to be held and business to be conducted at the meeting, including, for annual general meetings, the election of directors.

A general meeting may be called on shorter notice provided that (i) in the case of an annual general meeting, with the agreement of all of the shareholders entitled to attend and vote at such meeting and (ii) in the case of a special general meeting, with the agreement of a majority in number of the shareholders entitled to attend and vote at such meeting, together holding not less than 95% in nominal value of the shares entitled to be voted at such meeting.

Failure to provide notice of a general meeting to any person entitled to receive notice will invalidate the proceedings conducted at such meeting. The Amended and Restated Bye-Laws contain detailed provisions setting out the manner in which a notice of a general meeting must be served effectively on the shareholders.

***Amendments to the Amended and Restated Bye-Laws***

The Amended and Restated Bye-Laws provide that no Bye-Law may be rescinded, altered or amended and no new Bye-Law can be made, save in accordance with the Bermuda Companies Act, unless a resolution is approved by a Simple Majority of the shareholders, provided that any rescission, alteration or amendment to bye-laws conferring special rights upon each of the Founders and TFP HoldCo, shall require the prior consent of each of the Founders and TFP HoldCo for so long as they each beneficially own a specified minimum percentage of our common shares or they have a designated director serving on the Board.

***Meetings of Shareholders***

*Annual General Meetings*

An annual general meeting will be held in each year at such time and place as the Board determines, unless FIHL elects to dispense with the holding of annual general meetings in accordance with the Bermuda Companies Act.

*Special General Meetings*

The Board may convene a special general meeting whenever in its judgment such a meeting is necessary and in accordance with the advance notice provisions.

------

*Requisitioned General Meetings*

Shareholders holding not less than 10% of the paid-up share capital of FIHL carrying the right to vote at general meetings may requisition the Board to convene a special general meeting in accordance with the provisions of the Bermuda Companies Act and in accordance with the advance notice provisions set out in the Amended and Restated Bye-Laws.

***Comparison of Bermuda Corporate Law and U.S. Corporate Law***

The following is a summary of certain significant differences between the Bermuda Companies Act (including modifications adopted pursuant to our Amended and Restated Bye-Laws) and Bermuda common law applicable to us and our shareholders, on the one hand, and the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law applicable to U.S. companies organized under the laws of Delaware and their shareholders, on the other hand.

*Duties of Directors* 

The Bermuda Companies Act authorizes the directors of a company, subject to its bye-laws, to exercise all powers of the company except those that are required by the Bermuda Companies Act or the company's bye-laws to be exercised by the shareholders of the company. Our Amended and Restated Bye-Laws provide that our business is to be managed and conducted by the Board. In accordance with Bermuda common law, members of a board of directors owe a fiduciary duty to the company to act in good faith in their dealings with or on behalf of the company and exercise their powers and fulfill the duties of their office honestly. This duty includes the following essential elements:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)a duty to act in good faith in the best interests of the company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)a duty not to make a personal profit from opportunities that arise from the office of director;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)a duty to avoid situations in which there is an actual or potential conflict between a personal interest or the duties owed; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4)a duty to exercise powers for the purpose for which such powers were intended.

The Bermuda Companies Act imposes a duty on directors and officers of a Bermuda company:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the company; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5)to exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances.

The Bermuda Companies Act also imposes various duties on directors and officers of a company with respect to certain matters of management and administration of such company.

Under Bermuda law, directors and officers generally owe fiduciary duties to the company itself, not to the company's individual shareholders or members, creditors, or any class of shareholders, members or creditors. Our shareholders may not have a direct cause of action against our directors.

Under Delaware law, the business and affairs of a company are managed by or under the direction of its board of directors. In exercising their powers, directors are charged with a fiduciary duty of care to protect the interests of the company and a fiduciary duty of loyalty to act in the best interests of its shareholders. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent person would exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of, and disclose to shareholders, all material information reasonably available regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director act in a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the company. He or she must not use his or her corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits self-dealing by a director and mandates that the best interests of the company and its shareholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling shareholder and not shared by the shareholders generally. In general, actions of a director are

------

presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the action taken was in the best interests of the company. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should such evidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, a director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and that the transaction was of fair value to the company.

*Interested Directors* 

Bermuda law provides that a transaction entered into by us in which a director has an interest will not be voidable by us and such director will not be liable to us for any profit realized pursuant to such transaction as a result of such interest, provided that the nature of the interest is disclosed at the first opportunity, either at a meeting of directors or in writing to the directors. While we are not aware of any Bermuda case law on the meaning of "first opportunity," a Bermuda court will likely employ a practical interpretation of those words.

Subject to the NYSE rules and applicable U.S. securities laws, our Amended and Restated Bye-Laws do not require directors to recuse themselves from any discussion or decision involving any contract or proposed contract or arrangement in which the director is directly or indirectly interested so long as the nature of the interest is disclosed, and such director may be counted in the quorum for such meeting, unless the Board by resolution of a simple majority of the Board (which vote shall exclude the interested director) requires the director to abstain from any vote on the conflicted matter.

Under Delaware law, such transaction would not be voidable if: (i) the material facts as to such interested director's relationship or interests are disclosed or are known to the board of directors and the board in good faith authorizes the transaction by the affirmative vote of a majority of the disinterested directors; (ii) such material facts are disclosed or are known to the shareholders entitled to vote on such transaction and the transaction is specifically approved in good faith by vote of the majority of shares entitled to vote on the matter; or (iii) the transaction is fair as to the company as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified. Under Delaware law, such interested director could be held liable for a transaction in which such director derived an improper personal benefit.

*Voting Rights and Quorum Requirements* 

Under Bermuda law, the voting rights of our shareholders are regulated by our Amended and Restated Bye-Laws and, in certain circumstances, the Bermuda Companies Act. Generally, except as otherwise provided in the Amended and Restated Bye-Laws or the Bermuda Companies Act, any action or resolution requiring approval of the shareholders may be passed by a simple majority of the shareholders. Any individual who is our shareholder and who is present at a meeting may vote in person, as may any corporate shareholder that is represented by a duly authorized representative at a meeting of shareholders. Our Amended and Restated Bye-Laws also permit attendance at general meetings by proxy, provided that the instrument appointing the proxy is in the form specified in the Amended and Restated Bye-Laws or such other form as the Board may determine.

Under Delaware law, unless otherwise provided in a company's certificate of incorporation, each shareholder is entitled to one vote for each share of stock held by the shareholder. Delaware law provides that unless otherwise provided in a company's certificate of incorporation or bylaws, a majority of the shares entitled to vote, present in person or represented by proxy, constitutes a quorum at a meeting of shareholders. In matters other than the election of directors, with the exception of special voting requirements related to extraordinary transactions, and unless otherwise provided in a company's certificate of incorporation or bylaws, the affirmative vote of a majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at a meeting in which a quorum is present is required for shareholder action, and the affirmative vote of a plurality of shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the meeting is required for the election of directors.

*Amalgamations, Mergers and Similar Arrangements* 

The amalgamation or merger of a Bermuda company with another company or corporation (other than certain affiliated companies) requires the amalgamation or merger agreement to be approved by the company's board of directors and by its shareholders. Unless the company's bye-laws provide otherwise, the approval of 75% of the

------

shareholders voting at such meeting is required to approve the amalgamation or merger agreement, and the quorum for such meeting must be two persons holding or representing more than one-third of the issued shares of the company.

Under Bermuda law, in the event of an amalgamation or merger of a Bermuda company with another company or corporation, a shareholder of the Bermuda company who did not vote in favor of the amalgamation or merger and is not satisfied that fair value has been offered for such shareholder's shares may, within one month of notice of the shareholders meeting, apply to the Supreme Court of Bermuda to appraise the fair value of those shares.

Under Delaware law, with certain exceptions, a merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all the assets of a corporation must be approved by the board of directors and a majority of the issued and outstanding shares entitled to vote on such transaction. A shareholder of a company participating in certain merger and consolidation transactions may, under certain circumstances, be entitled to appraisal rights, such as having a court determine the fair value of the stock or requiring the company to pay such value in cash. However, such appraisal right is not available to shareholders if the stock received in such transaction is listed on a national securities exchange, including NYSE.

*Acquisitions* 

Under Bermuda law, an acquiring party is generally able to acquire compulsorily the common shares of minority holders of a company in the following ways:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)By a procedure under the Companies Act known as a "scheme of arrangement." The Companies Act enables the Supreme Court of Bermuda to approve a scheme of arrangement between a company and its shareholders or any class of shareholders. If the requisite majority (being a majority in number of shareholders representing 75% in value) agrees to the acquisition of their shares pursuant to the terms of the scheme, and the Supreme Court sanctions the scheme, the remaining shares can be compulsorily acquired. Schemes may provide for the target's shares to be either transferred or cancelled, but unlike a transfer scheme, a cancellation scheme requires the company to pass a solvency test. In either case, dissenting shareholders do not have express statutory appraisal rights although shareholders have a right to appear at the hearing, and the Supreme Court will only sanction a scheme if the Supreme Court is satisfied that the scheme is fair. Shares owned by the acquirer can be voted to approve the scheme, but the Supreme Court will be concerned to see that the shareholders approving the scheme are fairly representative of the general body of shareholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)If the acquiring party is a company, by acquiring pursuant to a tender offer 90% of the shares or class of shares not already owned by, or by a nominee for, the acquiring party (the "offeror"), or any of its subsidiaries. If an offeror has, within four months after the making of an offer for all the shares or class of shares not owned by, or by a nominee for, the offeror, or any of its subsidiaries, obtained the approval of the holders of 90% or more of all the shares to which the offer relates, the offeror may, at any time within two months beginning with the date on which the approval was obtained, by notice compulsorily acquire the shares of any non-tendering shareholder on the same terms as the original offer unless the Supreme Court of Bermuda (on application made within a one-month period from the date of the offeror's notice of its intention to acquire such shares) orders otherwise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)Where the acquiring party or parties hold not less than 95% of the shares or a class of shares of the company, by acquiring, pursuant to a notice given to the remaining shareholders or class of shareholders, the shares of such remaining shareholders or class of shareholders. When this notice is given, the acquiring party is entitled and bound to acquire the shares of the remaining shareholders on the terms set out in the notice, unless a remaining shareholder, within one month of receiving such notice, applies to the Supreme Court of Bermuda for an appraisal of the value of their shares. This provision only applies where the acquiring party offers the same terms to all holders of shares whose shares are being acquired.

------

Delaware law provides that a parent corporation, by resolution of its board of directors and without any shareholder vote, may merge with any subsidiary of which it owns at least 90% of each class of its capital stock. Upon any such merger, and in the event the parent corporation does not own all of the stock of the subsidiary, dissenting shareholders of the subsidiary are entitled to certain appraisal rights. Delaware law also provides, subject to certain exceptions, that if a person acquires 15% of voting stock of a company, the person is an "interested shareholder" and may not engage in "business combinations" with the company for a period of three years from the time the person acquired 15% or more of voting stock.

*Dissenters' Rights of Appraisal* 

Under Bermuda law, in the event of an amalgamation or merger of a Bermuda company with another company or corporation, a shareholder of the Bermuda company who did not vote in favor of the amalgamation or merger and who is not satisfied that fair value has been offered for such shareholder's shares may, within one month of notice of the shareholders' meeting, apply to the Supreme Court of Bermuda to appraise the fair value of those shares. Under Bermuda law, each share of an amalgamating or merging company carries the right to vote in respect of an amalgamation or merger whether or not it otherwise carries the right to vote.

In addition, any minority shareholder receiving notice that the holders of 95% or more of a company's shares or class of shares intend to compulsorily acquire the minority shareholder's shares may, within one month of receiving the notice, apply to the Supreme Court of Bermuda to appraise the value of the shares.

Appraisal rights are available under Delaware law for any class or series of common shares of a corporation in a merger or consolidation, subject to limited exceptions, such as a merger or consolidation of corporations listed on a national securities exchange in which listed stock is the offered consideration.

*Shareholders' Suits* 

Class actions and derivative actions are generally not available to shareholders under Bermuda law. The Bermuda courts, however, would ordinarily be expected to permit a shareholder to commence an action in the name of a company to remedy a wrong to the company where the act complained of is alleged to be beyond the corporate power of the company or illegal, or would result in the violation of the company's memorandum of association or bye-laws.

Furthermore, consideration would be given by a Bermuda court to acts that are alleged to constitute a fraud against the minority shareholders or, for instance, where an act requires the approval of a greater percentage of the company's shareholders than that which actually approved it.

Class actions and derivative actions generally are available to shareholders under Delaware law for, among other things, breach of fiduciary duty, corporate waste and actions not taken in accordance with applicable law. In such actions, the court generally has discretion to permit the winning party to recover attorneys' fees incurred in connection with such action.

*Indemnification of Directors and Officers* 

Section 98 of the Bermuda Companies Act provides generally that a Bermuda company may indemnify its directors, officers and auditors against any liability which by virtue of any rule of law would otherwise be imposed on them in respect of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust, except in cases where such liability arises from fraud or dishonesty of which such director, officer or auditor may be guilty in relation to the company. Section 98 further provides that a Bermuda company may indemnify its directors, officers and auditors against any liability incurred by them in defending any proceedings, whether civil or criminal, in which judgment is awarded in their favor or in which they are acquitted or granted relief by the Supreme Court of Bermuda pursuant to Section 281 of the Bermuda Companies Act. Section 98 of the Bermuda Companies Act further provides that a company may advance moneys to an officer or auditor for the costs, charges and expenses incurred by the officer or auditor in

------

defending any civil or criminal proceedings against them, on condition that the officer or auditor shall repay the advance if any allegation of fraud or dishonesty is proved against them.

We have adopted provisions in our Amended and Restated Bye-Laws that provide that we shall indemnify our officers and directors in respect of their actions and omissions except in respect of fraud or dishonesty. Pursuant to our Amended and Restated Bye-Laws, our shareholders have agreed to waive any claim or right of action such shareholder may have, whether individually or by or in our right, against any director or officer on account of any action taken by such director or officer, or the failure of such director or officer to take any action in the performance of his or her duties with or for us or any of our subsidiaries, provided that such waiver does not extend to any matter in respect of any fraud or dishonesty in relation to us which may attach to such director or officer.

Under Delaware law, a corporation may include in its certificate of incorporation a provision that, subject to the limitations described below, eliminates or limits director liability to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for breaches of their fiduciary duty of care. Under Delaware law, a director's liability cannot be eliminated or limited for: (i) breaches of the duty of loyalty; (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) the payment of unlawful dividends or expenditure of funds for unlawful stock purchases or redemptions; or (iv) transactions from which such director derived an improper personal benefit.

Delaware law provides that a corporation may indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation against any liability or expenses incurred in any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative proceeding if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful, except that in any action brought by or in the right of the corporation, such indemnification may be made only for expenses (not judgments or amounts paid in settlement) and may not be made even for expenses if the officer, director or other person is adjudged liable to the corporation (unless otherwise determined by the court). In addition, under Delaware law, to the extent that a director or officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any proceeding referred to above, he or she must be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by that party. Furthermore, under Delaware law, a corporation is permitted to maintain directors' and officers' insurance.

*Meeting of Shareholders* 

The Bermuda Companies Act requires an annual meeting of shareholders unless waived by resolution of shareholders. Our Amended and Restated Bye-Laws provide that, subject to an election made by us in accordance with the Companies Act to dispense with the holding of annual general meetings, an annual general meeting will be held in each year at such time and place as the Board determines.

Under our Amended and Restated Bye-Laws, a special general meeting of shareholders may be held when the Board, in its judgment, decides such a meeting is necessary. In addition, the Board shall, on the requisition of shareholders holding at the date of the deposit of the requisition not less than 10% of our paid-up share capital, forthwith proceed to convene a special general meeting and the provisions of the Companies Act shall apply.

Delaware law permits the board of directors or any person who is authorized under a corporation's certificate of incorporation or bylaws to call a special meeting of shareholders.

*Notice of Shareholder Meetings* 

Bermuda law and our Amended and Restated Bye-Laws require that shareholders be given at least five days' advance notice of any general meeting.

Under Delaware law, a company is generally required to give written notice of any meeting not less than ten days or more than sixty days before the date of the meeting to each shareholder entitled to vote at the meeting.

------

*Dividends and Other Distributions* 

Under Bermuda law, a company may not declare or pay a dividend, or make a distribution out of contributed surplus, if there are reasonable grounds for believing that (i) it is, or would after the payment be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due; or (ii) the realizable value of its assets would thereafter be less than its liabilities. "Contributed surplus" is defined for purposes of Section 54 of the Bermuda Companies Act to include the proceeds arising from donated shares, credits resulting from the redemption or conversion of shares at less than the amount set up as nominal capital, and donations of cash and other assets to the company.

Under Delaware law, subject to any restrictions contained in the company's certificate of incorporation, a company may pay dividends out of surplus or, if there is no surplus, out of net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and for the preceding fiscal year. Delaware law also provides that dividends may not be paid out of net profits if, after the payment of the dividend, capital is less than the capital represented by the outstanding stock of all classes having a preference upon the distribution of assets.

*Inspection of Corporate Records* 

Members of the general public have the right to inspect our public documents available at the office of the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda. These documents include our memorandum of association and any charges on our assets. Our shareholders have the additional right to inspect our Amended and Restated Bye-Laws, minutes of general meetings and audited financial statements, all of which must be presented to the annual general meeting of shareholders.

The register of members of a company is also open to inspection by shareholders and members of the general public without charge. The register of members is required to be open for inspection for not less than two hours in any business day (subject to the ability of a company to close the register of members for not more than 30 days in a year). A company is required to maintain its share register in Bermuda but may, subject to the provisions of the Bermuda Companies Act, establish a branch register outside of Bermuda. A company is required to keep at its registered office a register of directors and officers and a list of its directors must be filed with the Registrar of Companies where it will be available for public inspection. Bermuda law does not, however, provide a general right for shareholders to inspect or obtain copies of any other corporate records.

Delaware law requires that a company, within ten days before a meeting of shareholders, prepare and make available a complete list of shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting. This list must be open to the examination of any shareholder for any purpose relating to the meeting for a period of at least ten days prior to the meeting, either on a reasonably accessible electronic network or during ordinary business hours at the principal place of business of the company. Delaware law also permits a shareholder to inspect the company's books and records if the shareholder can establish that he or she is a shareholder of the company, that the shareholder has complied with Delaware law with respect to the form and manner of making demand for inspection of corporate records, and that the inspection by the shareholder is for a proper purpose.

*Shareholder Proposals* 

Under Bermuda law, upon the requisition in writing of such number of shareholders as is hereinafter specified and at their own expense (unless the company otherwise resolves), the company will be required to: (i) give notice to all shareholders entitled to receive notice of the annual general meeting of any resolution which may properly be moved and is intended to be moved at the next annual general meeting; and/or (ii) circulate to all shareholders entitled to receive notice of any general meeting a statement of not more than one thousand words with respect to the matter referred to in any proposed resolution or any business to be conducted at such general meeting. The number of shareholders necessary for a requisition under the foregoing sentence is (x) either any number of shareholders representing not less than 1/20th of the total voting rights of all members having at the date of the requisition a right to vote at that meeting to which the requisition relates; or (y) not less than one hundred shareholders.

The specific procedures under our Amended and Restated Bye-Laws governing shareholder proposals in relation to our company are set described above under the section titled "*Shareholder Advance Notice Procedures*".

Delaware law does not include a provision restricting the manner in which nominations for directors may be made by shareholders or the manner in which business may be brought before a meeting, although restrictions may be included in a Delaware corporation's certificate of incorporation or bylaws.

*Amendment of Memorandum of Association/Certificate of Incorporation* 

Bermuda law provides that the memorandum of association of a company may be amended by a resolution passed at a general meeting of shareholders of which due notice has been given. Certain amendments to the memorandum of association may require approval of the Bermuda Minister of Finance, who may grant or withhold approval at his or her discretion.

Under Bermuda law, the holders of an aggregate of not less than 20% in par value of a company's issued share capital have the right to apply to the Bermuda courts for an annulment of any amendment of the memorandum of association adopted by shareholders at any general meeting, other than an amendment which alters or reduces a company's share capital as provided in the Bermuda Companies Act. When such an application is made, the amendment becomes effective only to the extent that it is confirmed by the Bermuda court. An application for an annulment of an amendment of the memorandum of association must be made within 21 days after the date on which the resolution altering the company's memorandum of association is passed and may be made on behalf of persons entitled to make the application by one or more of their designees as such holders may appoint in writing for such purpose. No application may be made by the shareholders voting in favor of the amendment.

Under Delaware law, amendment of the certificate of incorporation, which is the equivalent of a memorandum of association, of a company must be made by a resolution of the board of directors setting forth the amendment, declaring its advisability, and either calling a special meeting of the shareholders entitled to vote or directing that the proposed amendment be considered at the next annual meeting of the shareholders. Delaware law requires that, unless a greater percentage is provided for in the certificate of incorporation, a majority of the outstanding voting power of the corporation is required to approve the amendment of the certificate of incorporation at the shareholders' meeting. If the amendment would alter the number of authorized shares or par value or otherwise adversely affect the powers, preferences or special rights of any class of a company's stock, the holders of the issued and outstanding shares of such affected class, regardless of whether such holders are entitled to vote by the certificate of incorporation, are entitled to vote as a class upon the proposed amendment. However, the number of authorized shares of any class may be increased or decreased, to the extent not falling below the number of shares then outstanding, by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the stock entitled to vote, if so provided in the company's original certificate of incorporation.

*Amendment of Bye-Laws* 

Our Amended and Restated Bye-Laws provide that the Amended and Restated Bye-Laws may be amended upon a resolution approved by a simple majority of the Board and by a resolution approved by a simple majority of the shareholders, provided that any rescission, alteration or amendment to bye-laws conferring special rights on each of the Founders and TFP HoldCo (as described in more detail in "*Amendments to the Amended and Restated Bye-Laws*" above) shall require the prior consent of each of the Founders and TFP HoldCo for so long as they each beneficially own a specified minimum percentage of our common shares or they have a designated director serving on the Board.

Under Delaware law, unless the certificate of incorporation or bylaws provide for a different vote, holders of a majority of the voting power of a corporation and, if so provided in the certificate of incorporation, the directors of the corporation have the power to adopt, amend and repeal the bylaws of a corporation.

------

*Dissolution* 

Under Bermuda law, a solvent company may be wound up by way of a shareholders' voluntary liquidation. Prior to the company entering liquidation, a majority of the directors are each required to make a statutory declaration, which states that the directors have made a full inquiry into the affairs of the company and have formed the opinion that the company will be able to pay its debts within a period of 12 months of the commencement of the winding-up and must file the statutory declaration with the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda. The general meeting is required to be convened primarily for the purposes of passing a resolution that the company be wound up voluntarily and appointing a liquidator. The winding-up of the company is deemed to commence at the time of the passing of the resolution.

Under Delaware law, a corporation may voluntarily dissolve (i) if a majority of the board of directors adopts a resolution to that effect and the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon vote for such dissolution; or (ii) if all shareholders entitled to vote thereon consent in writing to such dissolution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Code of Ethics and Conduct Fidelis Insurance Holdings Limited February 2026

![](ex111codeofconduct002.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fidelis Insurance Holdings Limited – Code of Conduct \| Page 2 1. Scope List definitions included in this policy References in this Code of Ethics and Conduct (the "Code") to "Covered Persons" include all officers, directors, employees and, where relevant, contractors and consultants of Fidelis Insurance Holdings Limited and all of its subsidiaries (the "Company," "FIHL," "we," "us" or "our"). Any questions about how any part of this Code or relevant policies may apply to you should be addressed to the Group General Counsel or Group Chief Human Resources Officer. 2. Responsibilities It is the responsibility of each Covered Person to conduct themselves in a manner that will support and maintain our reputation for fairness and a high level of integrity. As representatives of the Company, it is essential that Covered Persons' actions are legal and ethical. It is equally important that no actions taken by a Covered Person appear to others to be inconsistent with that high standard. In every case, a Covered Person should ask themselves if the conduct being contemplated would comply with Company policies and would withstand public disclosure and scrutiny. By doing business in this manner, we can ensure the respect of our clients, shareholders, fellow Covered Persons, regulatory authorities, governments and neighbors. 3. Certification All Covered Persons are required to submit an annual certification of their understanding of and compliance with this Code and the policies relevant to it as posted on our Company intranet. This certification is a compulsory component of our annual review and performance management program for Covered Persons, and you should read this Code Thoroughly and carefully. 4. No Retaliation There are no adverse employment repercussions for those who report, in good faith or on a reasonable basis, potential or actual ethical and compliance violations. Any retaliation or retribution against any Covered Person for a report made in good faith of any suspected violation of the applicable laws, rules, regulations or this Code is cause for appropriate disciplinary action. 5. Failure To Follow Our Standards of Conduct Integrity and fair business practices are critical to our reputation. Violations of this Code or relevant laws by any Covered Person may be deemed to be serious misconduct under the terms of employment and may subject them to criminal, civil or regulatory sanctions, as well as to internal disciplinary actions – up to and including immediate termination of employment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fidelis Insurance Holdings Limited – Code of Conduct \| Page 3 6. Waivers and Amendments No individual is exempt from any provision of this Code regardless of their position. Because of the importance of the matters involved in this Code, waivers may be granted only in limited circumstances, where the circumstances would support a waiver, and to the extent permitted by applicable law and regulations. Waivers of any element of this Code or the underlying policies may be granted or withheld from time to time by the Company in its sole discretion. To the extent required by applicable laws and regulations, any waivers for the benefit of directors or executive officers will be submitted to the Company's board of directors (the "Board") and must be publicly disclosed in the Company's U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including the Company's Annual Report on Form 20-F or the Company's periodic reporting on Form 6-K, as applicable, and to the extent required by U.S. securities laws or the rules and regulations of the New York Stock Exchange or any other exchange applicable to us. The Company shall maintain disclosure relating to such amendment or waiver on its website for at least twelve (12) months and shall retain the disclosure relating to any such amendment or waiver for not less than five (5) years. The Company maintains the right to amend or modify any provision of this Code at any time. Any waiver of any provision of this Code with regard to any Covered Person who is not an executive officer or director of the Company must be approved by the Covered Person's supervisor and the Group General Counsel. If you believe that an exception to any of the matters in this Code is appropriate in your case, contact your immediate supervisor. If your supervisor agrees that an exception is appropriate, the approval of the Group General Counsel must be obtained. 7. Overview At FIHL, we aspire to the highest standards of honesty, integrity and business conduct. These standards are reflected in our corporate values, as well as our ethos. They are also captured in this Code, which provides five broad principles to which we are all expected to adhere. These principles are: • We respect and value our clients, partners and shareholders; • We respect and comply with relevant laws and regulations; • We respect and protect the Company; • We respect and value each other; and • We respect and support the communities in which we operate. All policies referred to in this Code can be found on our Company intranet. 8. Code of Principles 8.1. We Respect and Value our Clients, Partners and Shareholders Relationships are crucial component of the success of anu business. They are built on concern for and loyalty to our clients, partners, shareholders and other stakeholders. We

------

![](ex111codeofconduct004.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fidelis Insurance Holdings Limited – Code of Conduct \| Page 4 believe that making ethical decisions, acting in the best interests of our Company and shareholders and serving them faithfully will help us generate long-term value. We seek and provide value through our financial security, quality products and responsive service to our clients and partners. Our corporate strategy reflects these objectives. Covered Persons should be familiar with our corporate strategy, and their conduct should reflect our strategy, values and principles. 8.2. Fair Dealing FIHL serves a wide variety of clients and customers and deals with a broad range of other stakeholders and counterparties on a world-wide basis. Covered Persons must endeavor to deal honestly, ethically and fairly with the Company's customers, suppliers, competitors and other Covered Persons. Your activities should be mindful of the conduct requirements for our products and appropriate business practices in those territories. You should be aware of the market and regulatory standards that might apply to you given your responsibilities and location, or fair dealing associated with being listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Consult your supervisor or manager or other legal or compliance resources as appropriate. No Covered Person should take unfair advantage of anyone through manipulation, concealment, abuse of privileged information, misrepresentation of material facts, or any other unfair dealing practice. Unfair dealing is not only unethical but, in some circumstances, such conduct may rise to a level of fraud and thereby expose Covered Persons and the Company to criminal and/or civil liability for violation of anti-fraud laws, as well as the antitrust laws. 8.3. We Respect the Communities We Serve and the Laws that Govern Us FIHL operates in many regions and is committed to interacting with the communities in which it operates in a respectful, ethical manner and in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations. These include, without limitation, laws covering bribery and kickbacks, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets, information privacy, insider trading, illegal political contributions, antitrust prohibitions, sanctions and global trade controls, offering or receiving gratuities, environmental hazards, employment discrimination or harassment, occupational health and safety, false or misleading financial information or misuse of corporate assets. You are expected to understand and comply with all laws, rules and regulations that apply to your job position. If any doubt exists about whether a course of action is lawful, you should seek advice from your supervisor or manager. Given that the sectors in which we operate are robustly regulated, each of us must remain attentive to the specific legal and regulatory obligations relevant to our roles and always comply with them. 8.4. Safety The Company strives and is committed, so far as is reasonably practicable, to providing Covered Persons with a healthy and safe environment.

------

![](ex111codeofconduct005.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fidelis Insurance Holdings Limited – Code of Conduct \| Page 5 The Company is committed to providing the safe working conditions for Covered Persons. The place of employment is to be free of recognized hazards that might cause injury or death as well as be in compliance with specific safety and health standards. All Covered Persons have the responsibility to their fellow Covered Persons and to the Company to carry on their duties in a safe and efficient manner. Covered Persons must report any unsafe conditions so that the Company immediately correct any unsafe acts observed or performed. 8.5. Corporate Relationship with the Community At FIHL, we value responsible corporate citizenship. We strive to extend our high standards of ethical conduct to the communities and the environment in which we live, work and do business. 8.6. Covered Person Relationship with the Community Each Covered Person is expected to conduct themselves appropriately in the community – consistent with our view that each of us is a Company ambassador when we are representing FIHL at business functions. We are aware that although your private life is your own, the relatively small markets in which some of our businesses operate can alter our expectation of both privacy and the attribution of an individual's conduct to FIHL. 8.7. Community Support We seek to add value to our communities by encouraging individual Covered Person donations through our corporate charity gift matching policy, supporting local charities at the corporate level and sponsorship of sporting, artistic and educational initiatives. For additional information about the Company's policies regarding donations and other charitable contributions, see Section 20 (Political Contributions and Public Office). 8.8. Regulatory or Compliance-Related Communications and Issues You have a duty to report completely, accurately and truthfully in all communications with regulators. As we are subject to regulation in a number of jurisdictions, you are expected to understand your authority, if any, to communicate should any oversight body or regulator contact you before you take any action. You are always expected to notify the Company's Group General Counsel or legal or compliance personnel as soon as you become aware of any potential or actual regulatory or compliance-related issues affecting any of the FIHL companies. 8.9. Loans Loans or guarantees obtained through your employment at FIHL could appear to impair your objectivity. Neither you nor your family may borrow funds or receive guarantees from any person, business or firm who you know has business dealings with FIHL. Nor may you or your

------

![](ex111codeofconduct006.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fidelis Insurance Holdings Limited – Code of Conduct \| Page 6 family seek to use the FIHL name, position in a market, or goodwill to receive any benefit on a loan transaction, without prior written approval from the Group General Counsel. 8.10. This policy does not apply to ordinary course personal loans such as mortgages, car loans or credit cards assuming their terms are substantially similar to those that would generally be available to the public. 8.11. Outside Business Activities / Employment It is possible to create a conflict of interest due to your outside business activities. To avoid any potential conflict of interest, a Covered Person requires approval, including prior approval in the case of new activities, from the Group General Counsel before entering into any outside business activities which may conflict with his or her responsibilities and obligations to the Company. For more information, see Section 15 (Conflicts of Interest). 8.12. We Respect and Protect FIHL You are obligated to act in the best interests of FIHL, and by doing so, you will be aligning your actions with the best interests of our shareholders, for whom we strive to generate long-term value. 9. Accounting and Financial Reporting We expect our financial reporting to be reliable, accurate, complete and timely, to facilitate the Company's decision-making process and the proper discharge of its financial, legal and reporting obligations. The Company's records must be honest, accurate and complete and must fairly represent the facts. No false or deliberately misleading entries are to be made in any books or records, and no Covered Person is to engage in any untruthful arrangement to that effect, or to direct anyone else to make false entries. Additionally, no undisclosed side agreements, oral and/or written, which would modify the terms of an executed contract, are to be made. We have established policies, guidelines and procedures and expect that you will comply with these internal processes and controls to ensure the integrity of our books and records. You are also expected to cooperate in a forthright and fully candid manner when dealing with internal or external auditors or accountants. The Company follows the accepted accounting rules and controls as set forth by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by regulatory authorities as well as the applicable local accounting rules and principles and the Company's internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. All account books, budgets, project evaluations, expense accounts and other data papers utilized in maintaining records of the Company's business must accurately reflect the matters to which they relate. Without limiting the foregoing, all reports and documents filed or furnished with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as other public communications, should be full, fair, honest, timely,

------

![](ex111codeofconduct007.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fidelis Insurance Holdings Limited – Code of Conduct \| Page 7 accurate and understandable. All assets of the Company must be carefully and properly accounted for. No payment of funds of the Company shall be approved or made with the understanding that any part of the funds will be used in a manner contrary to this principle. All transactions must be supported by accurate documentation and be accurately recorded. 10. Insider Trading/Market Abuse If you are thinking about trading – either buying or selling – our securities or those of our clients, counterparties, brokers or partners, you are expected to familiarize yourself first with our Insider Trading Policy. It is against our policy, and may be against the law, to trade any securities – not just FIHL's – if you possess material non-public information. It is also against our policy for any Covered Person or designee to directly hedge, short-sell or pledge as collateral FIHL securities. We have controls in place to help Covered Persons be compliant with our Insider Trading Policy including the use of "trading windows" / restrictions on investing in our sector / Stock Ownership and Retention Guidelines to ensure senior Covered Persons' interests are aligned with those of our shareholders. Prior to engaging in any securities trading activity, you should consult the Company's Insider Trading Policy to determine whether your transaction is permissible under the policy. If you are found guilty of insider trading, you may be subjected to, among other things, fines and/or a jail sentence. Under certain circumstances, you can also be held responsible for securities trading activities of anyone to whom you disclose material and non-public information. 11. Confidential Information (Including Personally Identifiable Information) Confidential information takes many forms and includes information, including technical, financial, business or other information about the Company, our clients, our partners, our colleagues and potentially other stakeholders. Confidential information includes all non-public information which, if disclosed outside the Company, could disadvantage the Company competitively or financially or which could hurt or embarrass Covered Persons, customers, borrowers, insurance claimants, suppliers, or the Company. The Company's services cross into the personal and business lives of others, who trust us to protect their privacy. Violating that privacy may result in serious criminal charges, regulatory fines and civil liability for both the Company and the Covered Person responsible. It is the Company's policy to collect and process all personal data in accordance with the applicable privacy laws in each relevant jurisdiction and to apply appropriate security controls to such information. Every Covered Person must maintain and protect the privacy of all forms of business communications, whether voice, data or image transmissions during their employment or while carrying out their duties and responsibilities, including after they leave the Company.

![](ex111codeofconduct008.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fidelis Insurance Holdings Limited – Code of Conduct \| Page 8 Most countries where we have operations or conduct business have adopted regulations to ensure the confidentiality of personally identifiable financial and other information. Many countries, territories and states have data breach laws which require a regulator to be notified in the event of a breach of personally identifiable information, health or financial information. In some jurisdictions, notice of a "personal data breach" must be reported within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach. It is therefore imperative that any apparent or suspected loss, theft, misuse, damage to or destruction of records containing personal data (whether electronic or paper copy) is promptly reported to the Group Chief Information Security Officer and Chief Technology Officer. 12. Antitrust/Fair Competition The global activities of the Company are subject to various antitrust and competition laws. We expect all Covered Persons to deal fairly when interacting with competitors and to consult with the Group General Counsel on all antitrust-sensitive matters and to discuss anti-competitive practices. In general, antitrust and competition laws prohibit understandings, agreements or actions that may restrain trade or reduce competition. Antitrust violations can generate civil liability and involve the risk of substantial fines being imposed on the infringing entity, members of its corporate group and/or responsible Covered Persons. In many jurisdictions, antitrust violations also carry possible criminal sanctions, punishable by large fines and the potential incarceration of those responsible. Compliance with worldwide antitrust and competition laws is expected from all Covered Persons to foster free, fair and competitive markets for the benefit of consumers. Illegal agreements or understandings, whether written or oral, reached directly or indirectly between competitors or others to fix or control prices, rig bids or to allocate territories, markets or customers, or abuses of a dominant position, such as refusing to deal with certain customers without objective and legal justification must be avoided. The term "competitors" is to be interpreted broadly given the way business in our industry is conducted. Even informal verbal communications on these matters, such as at social events or industry-attended events could be construed as violations of competition laws. Covered Persons are also prohibited from discussing with or providing to any competitor, insurance broker or other third party (directly or indirectly) any artificially inflated bids, prices and/or other terms and conditions with respect to insurance or reinsurance in order to lessen competition by, for example, conferring a commercial advantage upon a third party and/or creating a false appearance of legitimate competition. You should seek advice from your supervisor, manager, the Group General Counsel or other legal or compliance resources, as appropriate, if you have any questions about the policies or any specific activity being considered. Be aware that conduct does not have to be intentional to be anti-competitive and potentially violate the relevant laws. Failure to comply with competition laws can result in, among other consequences, significant fines and legal action against FIHL, reputational damage and possible criminal prosecution for those individuals involved.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fidelis Insurance Holdings Limited – Code of Conduct \| Page 9 13. Anti Bribery and Corruption The Company is committed to conducting its business in accordance with the highest ethical standards and in compliance with applicable anti-corruption laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which it operates or does business. The Company will not engage in bribery or corruption in any form (whether it involves private individuals or entities or government officials) and has a zero-tolerance approach to violations. Bribery and corrupt activity of any kind are illegal and violate our policies. Bribes, including illegal inducements, in any form are expressly forbidden by FIHL. Bribery laws apply to both commercial parties as well as government officials. Inducements which could be deemed inappropriate, including gifts or entertainment, should be carefully considered. Even the appearance of impropriety should be avoided. Various anti-corruption laws and regulations are potentially relevant to FIHL and Covered Persons and FIHL's agents. Resources are available to you should you have any questions, and you are encouraged to seek guidance from the Group General Counsel, the Group Head of Compliance, or consult our Anti- Bribery Policy before you act. Our expense policy and procedures contribute to our management of bribery and corruption risk. Any expenses must be accurately recorded in our books and records. Offering, promising, giving, requesting or accepting bribes or kickbacks, and/or reporting inaccurate expenses could result in criminal prosecution and/or dismissal. A bribe or kickback may take a number of forms, including any money, fee, commission, credit, gift or compensation of any kind that is used to improperly influence the recipient, including obtaining or retaining business, or favorable treatment in a business transaction. This Code does not prohibit corporate or personal contributions to political parties if they are permitted by law. Corporate political contributions must be pre-approved. Covered Persons are responsible for promptly reporting any known or suspected transaction, activity, or request that might violate this Code or local applicable laws to the attention of the Group General Counsel or the Group Head of Compliance, or their designees without delay. 14. Sanctions, Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Anti-Terrorism Financing (ATF) It is FIHL's policy to comply with all applicable trade and/or economic sanctions, laws or regulations, including anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism financing. FIHL will not knowingly enter into a contract of (re)insurance, extend or renew coverage under an existing policy, pay a claim under a policy, or make any investment or any other payment or conduct any other business, where doing so would be a violation of applicable sanctions / AML / ATF laws or regulations. Resources are available to you should you have any questions, and you are

------

![](ex111codeofconduct010.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fidelis Insurance Holdings Limited – Code of Conduct \| Page 10 encouraged to seek guidance from the Group Head of Compliance or consult our Sanctions Policy before you act. All Covered Persons must be vigilant to protect the Company from being unknowingly swept into a money laundering transaction. Money laundering is a term used to describe the process of integrating proceeds from illegal activities into the legitimate financial system so that the proceeds appear to have originated from a legitimate source. Transactions need not be cash transactions to constitute money laundering and money laundering can involve any movement of funds, cash or otherwise. Resources are available to you should you have any questions, and you are encouraged to seek guidance from the Group General Counsel or consult our AML Policy before you act. If you suspect money-laundering or terrorism financing in any of your dealings at any time – even after having already dealt with the person – or that someone may be committing us to business with sanctioned countries, companies or individuals – you must report your suspicion immediately to one of the individuals indicated in the "How to Report" section of this Code. Any assistance you might give to the transfer of proceeds from illegal activities or any failure to report any suspicious incident could constitute a criminal offence resulting in fines and jail sentences to you and fines and other adverse consequences for FIHL. Note that it may also be a crime to 'tip off' any person under suspicion, so do not disclose your suspicion to such a person. NOTE: This area of the law is subject to change at any time due to the political nature of economic sanctions; thus, if there are any material changes to relevant sanctions laws, this may be superseded by updates from the Group Chief Compliance Officer. 15. Conflicts of Interest We respect the rights of Covered Persons to manage their personal affairs. We encourage involvement of Covered Persons in activities beneficial to the community. However, situations may arise which may create a conflict of interest, or may appear to create a conflict of interest, between our individual interests and the best interests of FIHL which affect your ability to make objective decisions on behalf of the Company. Generally, you owe a primary duty to FIHL or, in some circumstances, other stakeholders to advance its legitimate interests, its corporate opportunities and to comply with other duties you may owe to FIHL. In some circumstances you may owe a duty to stakeholders other than FIHL. You should seek to identify and avoid situations in which objectivity, independence or the ability to act in the best interests of FIHL or other relevant stakeholders are compromised or could appear to be compromised. A conflict of interest exists if your actions as a Covered Person are, or could reasonably appear to be, influenced, directly or indirectly, by personal considerations or by actual or potential personal benefit or gain.

------

![](ex111codeofconduct011.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fidelis Insurance Holdings Limited – Code of Conduct \| Page 11 A conflict situation can arise when a Covered Person takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult to perform his or her work objectively and effectively. If you find yourself exposed to an actual or potential situation in which you or family members are, or could appear to be, receiving an improper benefit as a result of your position at FIHL, you are required to communicate this potential conflict of interest as soon as it is identified to the Group General Counsel. Communicate such instances to one of the individuals indicated in the "When and How to Report" section of this Code. Covered Persons should also comply with any conflicts of interest requirements which may be legislated in local law. Covered Persons, without authorization from the Group General Counsel or their designee, may not have a significant financial interest in any organization conducting or seeking to conduct business with the Company in a manner which is more than merely incidental or immaterial. A significant financial interest is one which is so substantial as to create a potential risk of interference with such individual's independent exercise of judgment in the interest of the Company. Covered Persons who deal with the Company's suppliers are placed in a special position of trust which requires great caution. No Covered Person should ever receive a payment or anything of value in exchange for a purchasing decision, except for normal business entertainment and tokens of limited value, and in compliance with "Gifts and Entertainment" section of this Code. No Covered Person shall participate on behalf of the Company in any negotiations or dealings of any sort with any person, firm, or non-affiliated corporation in which he/she has, directly or indirectly, an interest, whether through a personal relationship which would affect his or her decisions, or through stockholding or otherwise, except an ordinary investment not sufficient to in any way affect his/her judgment, conduct, or attitude in the matter, or give them a personal interest therein. No Covered Person shall knowingly compete or aid or advise any person, firm, or corporation in competing with the Company in any way or engage in any activity in which his/her personal interests in any way conflict, or might conflict, with those of the Company. The Company requires the full attention of Covered Persons. In general, this level of attention makes it impractical for Covered Persons to pursue employment outside the Company. Additionally, outside employment also could lead to a conflict of interest for the Covered Person. Unless expressly authorized or sponsored by the Company, no outside activities should involve the use of the Company's time, name, influence, assets, funds, materials, facilities or Covered Persons for personal gain while employed by us. Covered Persons are prohibited from diverting for personal gain any business opportunity from which the Company might profit unless the Company validly decides to forego the opportunity. You must direct all questions regarding this subject to the Group General Counsel, or their designee. 15.1. Gifts and Entertainment The practice of giving and receiving appropriate gifts and entertainment should compromise neither your objectivity nor FIHL's reputation. Business transactions should always be free from

------

![](ex111codeofconduct012.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fidelis Insurance Holdings Limited – Code of Conduct \| Page 12 even a perception that favorable treatment was sought, received or given as the result of furnishing or receiving any financial or other advantage, including gifts, favors, hospitality, entertainment or other similar gratuity. Any financial or other advantage, including payments or things of value, directly or indirectly, to any Covered Person or representative of any actual or prospective customer or supplier of the Company, given for the purpose of influencing or affecting such person's business judgment or action, such as to induce the purchase or sale of goods or services, or to induce them to act improperly in any way, is strictly prohibited. You may give and receive reasonable gifts and entertainment related to business activities. However, no gift or entertainment should be offered or accepted, regardless of amount, with any indication that inappropriate treatment will result. Our Related Persons Transactions Policy provides the specific reporting obligations you have related to gifts and entertainment, but if you are unsure about whether you can accept/offer a gift or entertainment, please refer to our Gifts and Hospitality Policy and/or consult with legal or compliance personnel. 16. Communications 16.1. Public Communications We communicate with the public in a consistent, accurate and truthful manner. As a public company, our external communications must be carefully managed. Only certain individuals are authorized to communicate or interact publicly on behalf of FIHL. Unless you have been specifically authorized to communicate on behalf of FIHL, you are not permitted to do so. Public communications could relate to investor meetings, public speaking engagements or communicating with the media. If you receive a request to communicate from any of these sources, please refer to our Communications Policy. Adherence to our Communications Policy will ensure that our communications about FIHL are accurate, consistent, lawful and appropriately protective of proprietary or sensitive information. 16.2. Corporate Veil You are expected to understand what you are authorized to do in the course of your work, what the entity you represent is permitted to do and to seek clarification from your supervisor or manager if you are uncertain. You may have a role that requires you to work for more than one of the operating entities in the FIHL group. If you do, you need to understand which entities you work for, in what capacity, and act accordingly. You could damage a relationship with another party by making unintended commitments or act outside permitted company activities – either of which could violate laws, regulations or internal policies. 16.3. Records Management Systems and processes at FIHL are designed to ensure that information is available when and where it is needed, is maintained in an organized manner and is appropriately destroyed when it is appropriate to do so. This information includes business records which are required to be

------

![](ex111codeofconduct013.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fidelis Insurance Holdings Limited – Code of Conduct \| Page 13 maintained in a manner compliant with applicable laws and regulations. You are expected to comply with FIHL's record retention requirements. Failure to comply can result in civil, regulatory or criminal penalties against FIHL and Covered Persons involved in such violations. 16.4. E-Communications All forms of electronic communication such as email sent internally or externally – can potentially become permanent records and could be difficult to understand or interpret over time in absence of the current context. All IT networks, IT systems (including licensed software, e-mail system and business applications) and systems equipment, such as electronic devices, including but not limited to cell phones, smart phones, personal digital assistants, personal communications devices, flash drives/memory sticks, external hard drives and tablets, made available to Covered Persons by the Company (hereinafter "IT Equipment"), as well as any information or data transmitted by or stored in such systems or IT Equipment (including electronic mail), are Company property and should be used primarily for business purposes. We expect our Covered Persons to be mindful of the appropriate use of FIHL's approved modes of electronic communications and how this pertains to the use of other forms of communication and related social media tools (e.g. Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram etc.), help us avoid damaging situations – personally or for FIHL. Generally, Covered Persons using any sort of social media should be respectful of others, adhere to our confidentiality policies and clearly identify their opinions as their own and not those of FIHL. Violations of these expectations could result in internal discipline, up to and including termination of employment. 16.5. Intellectual Property Our intellectual property is comprised of many elements, including our Company identity, internally developed systems and models and internal processes. All such property should be safeguarded and used for the sole benefit of FIHL. You have an obligation to protect it. The loss of exclusive use of our intellectual property could reduce our competitive advantages and its misuse or theft by you could lead to termination of employment and/or legal action, including potential criminal penalties. 16.6. Corporate Information Security Our information and technology systems are critical for the efficient operation of our businesses and are a key component of our competitive advantage. All of us are expected to understand and respect their corporate importance. You are obligated to read and comply with our various Group Data Protection Policy and Governance and Oversight Framework and procedures and other formal instructions you may receive from our IT Security or relevant personnel. You should also be aware that our computer systems and the information stored or created on them are the sole property of FIHL and you should have no expectation of privacy in your usage of them.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fidelis Insurance Holdings Limited – Code of Conduct \| Page 14 16.7. Artificial Intelligence (AI) Use and Governance The use of artificial intelligence ("AI"), machine learning, and similar technologies presents both opportunities and potential risks to FIHL. You must use such tools responsibly and only in accordance with applicable laws, regulations, and our internal policies and procedures. Use of AI tools must at all times comply with our policies on confidentiality, data protection, data security, intellectual property, and any other relevant policies or procedures. You should exercise caution to ensure that no confidential, proprietary, or personal information is entered into external AI systems, and should seek guidance from your supervisor or manager or compliance personnel if uncertain about appropriate use. 16.8. Protection and Proper Use of Company Assets FIHL's property is intended to be used for business purposes and should be protected from theft or misuse. Limited personal use of such items is permissible when such use does not lead to inappropriate company expense, interfere with business operations, create a conflict or violate this Code. Company assets, such as proprietary information, funds, materials, supplies, products, equipment, software, facilities, and other assets owned or leased by the Company or that are otherwise in the Company's possession, may only be used for legitimate business purposes and must never be used for illegal purposes. 17. Modern Slavery FIHL has a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking in any form, whether within our organization or involving our third parties, suppliers, or business partners. We are committed to conducting business ethically and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations concerning human rights and fair labor practices. You are expected to support this commitment by remaining alert to potential risks, reporting any concerns promptly, and ensuring that FIHL does not knowingly engage with any party involved in such practices. 18. Harassment and Bullying Just as you are expected to deal with others in a professional and respectful manner, you are also entitled to such treatment. We expect supervisors and managers to be mindful of the requirements and standards of the territories in which their team members reside even if teams have Covered Persons in multiple territories. Sexual harassment, as well as any other form of harassment prohibited by law, is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Covered Persons are encouraged to report incidents of harassment, bullying or discrimination to the Group General Counsel. The Company will investigate all complaints of harassment and take remedial action as warranted under the circumstances. Behavior constituting harassment on any basis prohibited by law will be treated with the utmost seriousness and may result in disciplinary

![](ex111codeofconduct015.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fidelis Insurance Holdings Limited – Code of Conduct \| Page 15 action, including immediate termination of employment. Conduct of this type engaged in by contractors, vendors and clients toward Covered Persons will similarly not be tolerated. Violations of this policy may result in disciplinary action, including termination. Reasonable work-related requests and legitimate and constructive criticism of performance or conduct do not constitute bullying or harassment. 19. Use of Illegal Drugs and Alcohol FIHL is committed to providing a work environment that is free from illegal drugs and inappropriate alcohol consumption. Unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensation, possession, use, sale or purchase of illegal drugs and/or related paraphernalia is prohibited, as is being under the influence of drugs. Alcohol may be available at various work-related events, and you may, if you choose, consume moderate amounts, but it is your sole responsibility to ensure your conduct and demeanor is always professional. "Professional conduct" extends to avoiding activities where laws or regulations may be breached, such as operating motorized vehicles when impaired. FIHL reserves the right to take appropriate steps to ensure compliance with this policy, including drug testing as permitted by law. Any violation of this policy, including conviction for involvement in illegal drugs, could result in disciplinary action, including termination. Covered Persons are encouraged to seek assistance for themselves or their dependents for drug or alcohol problems, and to report suspected abuse by co-workers. FIHL provides assistance and access to rehabilitative treatments and programs for Covered Persons (or their dependents) who seek it. The Human Resources department and your Employee Handbook can provide additional guidance. 20. Political Contributions and Public Office For the most part, individuals are free as private citizens to endorse or contribute to political parties and candidates, contribute to "issue advocacy" groups, serve in political campaigns or run for public office. Covered Persons must ensure that they do not give the impression that they speak or act for the Company and avoid any activity that is, or is likely to be perceived as, illegal or unethical, or that reflects a favoritism not accorded to others. Any Covered Person's personal political contributions cannot be reimbursed by the Company, directly or indirectly. Corporate political contributions, however, must be made in accordance with applicable law and be approved by the Board, if they have been expressly given such authority. Involvement in political campaigns or running for an elected position in your personal capacity must not constitute a conflict of interest with FIHL and must use neither the FIHL name nor company resources. The appearance of impropriety is as damaging to our Company as an actual misdeed. Covered

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fidelis Insurance Holdings Limited – Code of Conduct \| Page 16 Persons must exercise caution to prevent relationships and dealings with government officials from becoming subject to question. 21. Inclusion Inclusion is integral to our Company and reflects the markets in which we do business. We pursue an inclusion strategy that includes accountability, advancement, diverse perspectives, outreach and fostering a sense of belonging for all employees. We actively monitor outreach and interview stage progression to identify and remove any unconscious biases where they may exist in our processes or decision making. In addition, we seek to promote our talent from within, identifying those that have potential to take on more senior roles and fast-tracking them through exposure to a wide range of business opportunities as well as structured training and development. FIHL is an equal opportunity employer. Discrimination based on the categories protected by law in the jurisdiction in which you are employed (for example, race, color, gender, religion or belief, ethnic or national origin, age, physical or mental disability, sexual orientation, marital or civil partner status, gender reassignment, genetic information, nationality, pregnancy, trade union membership or employment term status) is prohibited. Discrimination may be direct or indirect, it may occur intentionally or unintentionally, and it may take many forms including victimization, improper communications or improper actions. All work-related decisions, subject to applicable laws, must demonstrate respect and value for an individual's qualifications, merits and performance. Discriminating against an individual could result in disciplinary action, including dismissal. 22. When and How to Report 22.1. When to Ask for Help We do not believe it is possible to describe every situation in which you may be required to make a judgment about ethics and compliance violations. If you encounter such a situation, your conduct can frequently be guided by the following questions: • Is your proposed action ethical and legal? • If it were made public such as in a newspaper, would it damage FIHL's reputation; a colleague's; your own? • How would you feel if your supervisor or manager, or co-workers or your family found out? • Would you risk your job over it? You are always encouraged to ask if you have any questions relating to proper and ethical business conduct. We encourage you to speak with management if you are unsure as to the best course of action in a certain situation, or to resolve any questions or concerns.

Where to Get Help? • This Code; • Your manager/supervisor; • Your Human Resources contact; • The Group General Counsel; • The Group Chief Human Resources Officer; • The Company intranet; • Our Whistleblowing Policy; and/or • The Group Head of Compliance. 22.3. Reporting Any Concerns If you become aware of anything that even appears to violate any part of this Code, laws, regulations, legal obligations, our policies or of inappropriate or negligent conduct or concealment of any of these – you are encouraged and expected to promptly report the possible violation. Alternatively, by submitting an online report at EthicsPoint-FIHL (UK) Services Limited (https://secure.ethicspoint.eu/domain/media/en/gui/109734/index.html) or by calling the Company's telephone-based ethics hotline on the numbers, varying by jurisdiction, provided in the foregoing link (the "Ethics Hotline"), both available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. The Ethics Hotline and the online reporting are anonymous communication channels for Covered Persons and others to report concerns regarding, among other things, the integrity of the Company's public disclosures, internal controls, auditing, financial reporting, sales and marketing disclosures and activities, legal compliance, sexual harassment, discrimination, and other matters. Reports of suspected wrongdoing under this Code must be made in good faith. That means you must honestly believe there is suspected wrongdoing (even if you don't have all of the information to prove wrongdoing). 22.4. If you report a concern, our commitment to you will be to: • act promptly and appropriately in response to your concerns; • fully maintain confidentiality to the extent possible during any investigation of the reported concern; and ensure there are no negative corporate repercussions for raising an item in good faith or assisting with an investigation. 22.5. Our Whistleblowing Policy provides the specific procedure for reporting certain concerns or violations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Insider Trading Policy Fidelis Insurance Holdings Limited FEBRUARY 2026

------

![](ex112insidertradingpolic002.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fidelis Insurance Holdings Limited – Group Insider Trading Policy \| Page 2 1. Overview Safeguarding against insider trading is essential both to meet legal obligations under securities laws and to uphold the reputation and ethical standards of Fidelis Insurance Holdings Limited (together with its subsidiaries, the "Company") and everyone associated with it. "Insider trading" occurs when an individual buys or sells securities while in possession of information that is both "material" and "non-public" (each term as defined in Section III) related to such securities or the issuer of the securities. Engaging in insider trading is a crime. The penalties for violating insider trading laws include imprisonment, disgorgement of profits, civil fines, and criminal fines. The Company also strictly forbids insider trading under this Policy, and any breach may result in disciplinary measures, including termination for cause. This Policy applies to all Company "Insiders," which include members of the Company's board of directors (each a "Director" and collectively, the "Board"), Board observers, executive officers ("Officers"), employees, and any contractors or consultants who, through their work for the Company, receive material non-public information. As someone subject to this Policy, such individuals are also responsible for ensuring that members of their household comply with this Policy. This Policy also applies to any entities controlled by such individuals, including any corporations, limited liability companies, partnerships or trusts. Transactions by such entities will be treated for the purposes of this Policy and applicable securities laws as if they were for the individual's own account. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Policy shall not apply to any such entity that engages in the investment of securities in the ordinary course of its business (e.g., an investment fund or partnership) if such entity has established its own insider trading controls and procedures in compliance with applicable securities laws. If you have any questions regarding any of the provisions of this Policy, please contact the Group General Counsel or Group Head of Compliance (or their respective designees) ("Fidelis Legal and Compliance"). This Policy addresses compliance with applicable U.S. laws. Other laws, including without limitation the laws of Bermuda, the United Kingdom and Ireland, may also be impacted by trading in the securities of the Company. This section needs to detail what the potential consequences of not following the policy are, can include consequences for individuals and /also any consequences for group companies/affiliates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fidelis Insurance Holdings Limited – Group Insider Trading Policy \| Page 3 2. Statement of Policies Prohibiting Insider Trading No person subject to this Policy shall buy, sell, gift or otherwise transfer any type of security while in possession of material non-public information relating to that security, whether the issuer of such security is the Company or any other company. This general prohibition does not apply to: • transactions in the Company's securities directly with the Company; • transactions related to equity incentive awards or the surrender of previously-owned securities to the Company (including in satisfaction of any withholding tax obligations) in a manner permitted by the applicable equity award agreement, or vesting of restricted stock units ("RSUs") or other equity awards, that in each case do not involve a market sale of the Company's securities (N.B., the sale of any shares issued upon the exercise of RSUs or any "cashless exercise" through a broker does involve a market sale of the Company's securities, and therefore would not qualify under this exception); • "sell-to-cover" transactions pursuant to a non-discretionary policy adopted by the Company that is intended to facilitate the payment of withholding taxes associated with vesting of equity awards (other than stock options); • gift transactions for family or estate planning purposes, where securities are gifted to a person or entity subject to this Policy, except that gift transactions involving Company securities are subject to pre-clearance; or • purchases or sales of the Company's securities made pursuant to any contract, instruction or plan that (i) meets all of the requirements of the affirmative defense provided by Rule 10b5-1 ("Rule 10b5-1") promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), (ii) was pre-cleared in advance pursuant to this Policy and (iii) has not been amended or modified in any respect after such initial pre-clearance without such amendment or modification being pre-cleared in advance pursuant to this Policy. For more information about Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, see Section VI below. No person subject to this Policy who is aware of any material non-public information about the Company may share or disclose that information ("tip"), whether directly or indirectly, to anyone else. This restriction applies even to colleagues within the Company, unless the disclosure is authorized and made strictly on a need-to-know basis. General rule of thumb  when in doubt, do not trade.

![](ex112insidertradingpolic004.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fidelis Insurance Holdings Limited – Group Insider Trading Policy \| Page 4 3. Explanation of Insider Trading 3.1. Key Definitions "Securities" includes all types of shares (including common and preferred), bonds, notes, debentures, RSUs, options, warrants, and other convertible securities, as well as derivative instruments. "Purchase" includes not only the actual purchase of a security, but any contract to purchase or otherwise acquire a security, including through a derivative instrument. "Sale" includes not only the actual sale of a security, but any contract to sell or otherwise dispose of a security, including through a derivative instrument. "Material" means a reasonable investor would consider the information significant when making an investment decision or if the information, if disclosed, could be viewed by a reasonable investor as having significantly altered the total mix of information available in the marketplace about a company. "Nonpublic" means information which has not yet been broadly disseminated to the general public so that investors have been able to factor the information into the market price of the security. To understand how these terms apply to specific circumstances, you should contact Fidelis Legal and Compliance. 3.2. Tipping/trading by persons other than insiders Insiders may be held liable if they share or "tip" material non-public information to another person (a "tippee"). Insider trading liability is not limited to Insiders themselves. Others can also be responsible, including tippees who trade based on information they receive, as well as individuals who trade on misappropriated material non-public information. When a tippee receives illegally disclosed material non-public information from an Insider, the tippee effectively inherits the Insider's duties and can be held liable for trading on that information. Likewise, tippees who pass the information to others may be liable for the downstream trading of those recipients. In essence, a tippee's insider trading liability mirrors that of an Insider. Tippees may obtain material non-public information through explicit tips or through conversations in social, business, or other settings. 3.3. Penalties for insider trading Penalties for insider trading (including tipping material non-public information) are severe and can extend significantly beyond any profits made or losses avoided, both for individuals engaging in such unlawful conduct and their employers. Penalties for trading on or communicating material non-public information can be severe and can extend significantly beyond any profits made or losses avoided, both for individuals involved

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fidelis Insurance Holdings Limited – Group Insider Trading Policy \| Page 5 in such unlawful conduct and their employers and supervisors, and can result in jail sentences as well as civil penalties, including tremble damages. Given the severity of the potential penalties, compliance with this Policy is mandatory. In addition, insider trading could result in serious sanctions by the Company, including dismissal. 4. Statement of Procedures Preventing Insider Trading The following procedures have been established, and will be maintained and enforced, by the Company to prevent insider trading. Each person subject to this Policy is required to follow these procedures. 4.1. Pre-clearance of all trades In furtherance of this Policy, all transactions in the Company's securities (including without limitation, acquisitions and disposals of the Company' common shares, gift transactions or other estate planning transfers, the exercise of all options and the sale of the Company's common shares issued upon exercise of RSUs) by each person subject to this Policy must be pre-cleared with Fidelis Legal and Compliance. Pre-clearance does not relieve anyone of their responsibility under SEC rules. Each individual shall submit a "FIHL Common Share Pre-Clearance Approval Form" (a form of which is attached hereto as Appendix A) at least two trading days in advance of the proposed transaction, which includes the key details of the proposed transaction and a certification that the requesting individual is not aware of any material nonpublic information about the Company. Fidelis Legal and Compliance shall record the date each request is received and the date each request is approved or disapproved. Unless revoked, a grant of permission will normally remain valid until the close of trading three trading days following the day on which it was granted. If the proposed transaction is not consummated within that period, pre-clearance of the Transaction must be re-requested. Although pre-clearance is not required for the individual trades effected pursuant to a properly established and pre-cleared 10b5-1 Plan, refer to Section VI for a summary of other applicable reporting obligations thereunder. None of the Company, the members of Fidelis Legal and Compliance, or the Company's other employees will have any liability for any delay in reviewing, or refusal of, a pre-clearance request submitted pursuant to this Section IV. Notwithstanding any review of a pre-clearance request pursuant to this Section IV, none of the Company, the members of Fidelis Legal and Compliance, or the Company's other employees assumes any liability for the legality or consequences of any transaction the person seeks to engage in.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fidelis Insurance Holdings Limited – Group Insider Trading Policy \| Page 6 4.2. Blackout periods No person subject to this Policy shall buy, sell, or otherwise trade in any type of Company security during the period beginning at the close of the market on the fifth full trading day following the end of each fiscal quarter and ending at the open of the market on the second full trading day after the public release of earnings data for such fiscal quarter (referred to as the "quarterly blackout period"), as during such period, all persons subject to this Policy are presumed to possess material non-public information. In addition to the general restriction noted above, from time to time, other types of material non- public information regarding the Company may be pending and may not be publicly disclosed. While such material non-public information is pending, the Company may impose "special blackout periods" during which individuals in possession of such material non-public information are prohibited from buying, selling, or otherwise trading in any type of Company security. If the Company imposes a special blackout period, it will notify the individuals affected. 4.3. Post Termination transactions With the exception of the pre-clearance requirement, this Policy continues to apply to transactions in the Company's securities even after termination of service to the Company. If an individual is in possession of material non-public information when his or her service terminates, that individual may not trade in the Company's securities until that information has become public or is no longer material. 4.4. Exceptions Only the Group General Counsel may authorize exceptions to this Policy (or, in the case of an exception for the Group General Counsel or persons or entities subject to this Policy as a result of their relationship with the Group General Counsel, the Chief Executive Officer or, in the case of exceptions for Directors or persons or entities subject to this Policy as a result of their relationship with a Director, the Board). 5. Additional Prohibited Transactions The Company has determined that there is a heightened legal risk and/or the appearance of improper or inappropriate conduct if the persons subject to this Policy engage in certain types of transactions. Therefore, all persons subject to this Policy shall comply with the following policies with respect to certain transactions in the Company's securities: 5.1. Short Sales Short sales of the Company's securities evidence an expectation on the part of the seller that the securities will decline in value and therefore signal to the market that the seller has no confidence in the Company or its short-term prospects. Short sales may also reduce the seller's

![](ex112insidertradingpolic007.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fidelis Insurance Holdings Limited – Group Insider Trading Policy \| Page 7 incentive to improve the Company's performance. For these reasons, short sales of the Company's securities are prohibited by this Policy. 5.2. Options Trading As a transaction in options is effectively a bet on the short-term movement of the Company's securities, it creates the appearance that the person is trading based on inside information. Transactions in options also may focus on short-term performance at the expense of the Company's long-term objectives. Accordingly, transactions in puts, calls or other derivative securities involving the Company's equity securities, on an exchange or in any other organized market, are prohibited by this Policy. For the avoidance of doubt, this prohibition does not include options that the Company issues directly to an Insider, pursuant to an equity award or otherwise. 5.3. Short-Term Trading Short-term trading in the Company's securities can create the appearance that the individual is seeking to profit from confidential or non-public information regarding anticipated Company developments. In addition, frequent or rapid trading may place undue emphasis on short-term performance rather than the Company's long-term strategic objectives. Accordingly, any purchase and sale (or sale and purchase) of the Company's securities within a six-month period is prohibited by this Policy without prior approval from the Group General Counsel. 5.4. Hedging Certain forms of hedging or monetization transactions allow the person placing the hedge to lock in much of the value of their shareholding, often in exchange for all or part of the potential for upside appreciation in value. These transactions allow ownership of securities, but without the full risks and rewards thereof. When that occurs, the holder may no longer have the same objectives as the Company's other shareholders. Therefore, all hedging transactions involving the Company's equity securities are prohibited by this Policy. 5.5. Trading on Margin and Pledging Purchasing on margin means borrowing from a brokerage firm, bank or other entity to purchase the Company's securities. Margin purchases of the Company's securities are prohibited by this Policy. Pledging the Company's securities as collateral to secure loans is prohibited. This prohibition means, among other things, that you cannot hold the Company's securities in a "margin account" (which would allow you to borrow against your holdings to buy securities). For the avoidance of doubt, this prohibition does not include the cashless exercise through a broker of equity awards under the Company's equity plans.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fidelis Insurance Holdings Limited – Group Insider Trading Policy \| Page 8 6. Rule 10B5-1 Trading Plans, Section 16 and Rule 144 6.1. Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plans Attach here any other applicable procedures. a. Overview Rule 10b5-1 presents an opportunity for insiders to establish arrangements to sell (or purchase) the Company's securities without the restrictions of trading windows and blackout periods, even when there is undisclosed material information. Rule 10b5-1 will protect directors, officers and employees from insider trading liability under Rule 10b5-1 for transactions under a previously established contract, plan or instruction to trade in the Company's securities (a "10b5-1 Plan") entered into in good faith and in accordance with the terms of Rule 10b5-1 and will be exempt from the trading restrictions set forth in this Policy. Rule 10b5-1 only provides an "affirmative defense" in the event there is an insider trading lawsuit. It does not prevent someone from bringing a lawsuit. The initiation of, and any modification to, any such 10b5-1 Plan will be deemed to be a transaction in the Company's securities for purposes of this Policy, and such initiation or modification is subject to all limitations and prohibitions relating to transactions in the Company's securities. Each such 10b5-1 Plan, and any modification thereof, must be submitted to and pre-approved by the Company's Group General Counsel, or such other person as the Board may designate from time to time (the "Authorizing Officer"), who may impose such conditions on the implementation and operation of the 10b5-1 Plan as the Authorizing Officer deems necessary or advisable. However, compliance of the 10b5-1 Plan to the terms of Rule 10b5-1 and the execution of transactions pursuant to the 10b5-1 Plan are the sole responsibility of the person initiating it, not the Company or the Authorizing Officer. b. When can a 10b5-1 Plan be entered into? A Director, Officer or employee may enter into a 10b5-1 Plan only when they are not in possession of material non-public information, and only during an open trading window. Officers, Directors and employees may adopt 10b5-1 Plans with brokers that have been pre-approved by the Company that outline a pre-set plan for trading in the Company's securities. Although trades pursuant to a 10b5-1 Plan generally may occur at any time, the Company requires a "cooling-off period" (i.e., the amount of time that must pass between the establishment of a 10b5-1 Plan and commencement of any transactions thereunder) of (i) for Company Officers and Directors, the greater of 90 days or two business days following disclosure of the Company's financial results, and (ii) for all other employees, 30 days. Subject to

------

![](ex112insidertradingpolic009.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fidelis Insurance Holdings Limited – Group Insider Trading Policy \| Page 9 certain limited exceptions outlined in Rule 10b5-1, an individual may not adopt more than one 10b5-1 Plan at a time. c. Revocation and suspension of, and amendments to 10b5-1 Plans Revocation of a 10b5-1 Plan should be rare and undertaken only when truly necessary. Any decision to revoke or amend an existing 10b5-1 Plan must first be reviewed and approved by the designated Authorizing Officer. Revocations are generally completed by providing written notice to the broker. After a 10b5-1 Plan is revoked, the participant should refrain from trading outside a 10b5-1 Plan for at least 30 days and must wait a minimum of 180 days before adopting a new plan. A participant acting in good faith may modify an existing 10b5-1 Plan, provided that the changes occur outside the quarterly blackout period and at a time when the participant is not in possession of material non-public information. Any amendments must have a cooling-off period as described above. Certain events may require the Company to revoke a 10b5-1 Plan. Such situations include, for example, the public announcement of a merger or other developments that would render plan transactions unlawful or otherwise detrimental to the Company. When these circumstances arise, the Authorizing Officer or the administrator responsible for the Company's equity programs may contact the broker directly to implement the revocation, which serves to protect the insider involved. The 10b5-1 Plan must explicitly provide for the Company's right to suspend trades to the extent the Company deems such suspension to be in the best interests of the Company, for example, where such suspension is necessary to comply with the requests of underwriters for "lock-up" agreements in connection with an underwritten public offering of the Company's securities. d. Discretionary 10b5-1 Plans Although non-discretionary 10b5-1 Plans are preferred, discretionary 10b5-1 Plans, where the discretion or control over trading is transferred to a broker, are permitted if pre-approved by the Authorizing Officer. e. Reporting If required, an SEC Form 144 will be filled out and filed by the individual/brokerage firm in accordance with the existing rules regarding Form 144 filings. A footnote at the bottom of the Form 144 should indicate that the trades "are in accordance with a trading plan that complies with Rule 10b5-1 and was adopted on [●]." Although transactions effected under a 10b5-1 Plan will not require further pre- clearance at the time of the trade, the third-party effecting trades on behalf of the person in whose name the 10b5-1 Plan has been established should be instructed to send duplicate confirmations of all such trades to Fidelis Legal and Compliance. In particular, any transaction (including the quantity and price) made pursuant to a

![](ex112insidertradingpolic010.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fidelis Insurance Holdings Limited – Group Insider Trading Policy \| Page 10 10b5-1 Plan of a Section 16 reporting person (as defined below) must be reported to the Company promptly on the day of each trade to permit the Company's filing coordinator to assist in the preparation and filing of a required Form 4. Such reporting must be made by e-mail and should include: • the identity of the reporting person; • the type of transaction; • the date of the transaction; • the number of shares involved; and • the purchase or sale price for each execution lot (not just the weighted average price). The ultimate responsibility, and liability, for timely filing remains with the Section 16 reporting person. For Section 16 reporting persons, Form 4s should be filed before the end of the second business day following the transaction date or, if not known by the individual, the date that the broker, dealer or plan administrator informs the individual that a transaction was executed, provided that the date of such notification is not later than the third business day following the trade date. A similar footnote should be placed at the bottom of the Form 4 as outlined above. f. Public announcements The Company may make a public announcement that 10b5-1 Plans are being implemented in accordance with Rule 10b5-1. It will consider in each case whether a public announcement of a particular 10b5-1 Plan should be made. g. Prohibited transactions The transactions prohibited under Section V of this Policy, including among others short sales and hedging transactions, may not be carried out through a 10b5-1 Plan involving potential sales or purchases of the Company's securities. h.
