**THE COMPANY AT A GLANCE**

**Overview**

Established in 2004, the Company provides multiline property and casualty insurance and reinsurance through its licensed and regulated reinsurance entities in the Cayman Islands and Ireland, and its Lloyd's platform, Greenlight Innovation Syndicate 3456. The Company complements its underwriting activities with a non-traditional investment approach designed to achieve higher rates of return over the long term than reinsurance companies that exclusively employ more traditional investment strategies. In 2018, the Company launched its Greenlight Re Innovations unit, which supports technology innovators in the (re)insurance space by providing investment capital, risk capacity, and access to a broad insurance network.

As further discussed in this proxy statement, shareholders of record on May 1, 2023 will have the opportunity to vote on these proposals, which are further discussed under "*Proposal Seven — Approval of the Re-designation Resolutions*", "*Proposal Eight — Approval of the Voting Cut-back Amendment*", "*Proposal Nine — Approval of the Push-up Amendment*" and "*Proposal Ten — Adoption of the Fourth Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association."*

**Environmental, Social and Governance**

As a global provider of risk protection to cedents around the world, we believe that environmental, social and governance, or ESG, considerations should be at the heart of our operations. Our values of sound risk management, good governance, sustainability and social responsibility are reflected in how we operate our business, and are reflected in how we treat our colleagues, our clients and communities. The Nominating, Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee of our Board, or the Nominating, Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee, has ultimate oversight over our ESG strategy and practices and is responsible for reporting to the Board periodically on these issues.

*Governance*

We maintain our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, or the Code of Ethics, that showcases our Company's values to do the right thing. The Code of Ethics has important guidelines, expectations and information that our employees, officers and directors commit to, to guide their day-to-day business behavior. To further align the values of each company stakeholder, we also maintain an insider trading policy, share ownership and retention policy, conflict of interest and related party policies, clawback policy and corporate governance guidelines. *See "Corporate Governance Highlights."*

*Diversity*, *Equity and Inclusion*

We aim to push one another's thinking, challenge long-held beliefs and assumptions and positively influence the social, environmental and economic well-being of our employees and the communities in which we live and operate. We help our employees and their families thrive by offering comprehensive benefits plans and personal and professional wellness tools, including premium healthcare benefits, a flexible work policy and company-sponsored access to professional development and training seminars. We believe our organic efforts relating to diversity, equity and inclusion, as evidenced by the composition of our workforce, is an integral component to our success and our culture. In support of our commitment, we have bolstered our corporate culture initiatives and goals, which we believe is vital to our business success.

Anticipating the evolving needs of our business strategy demands diverse ideas, perspectives, expertise and continued innovation. As a part of this effort to build the Company's future, we continue to focus on fostering a culture of inclusion to attract, develop and retain diverse talent at all levels. In March 2023, we conducted a survey completed by 37 of our 46 employees. Of those who responded, 35% identified as female, 6% identified as gay or asexual, and 38% identified as racially or ethnically diverse. Additionally, the Company is developing a diverse Board. Our director nominees are nationally diverse, comprised of citizens from the United States, Cayman Islands, Canada, Colombia, United Kingdom and Ireland and 20% of our director nominees are female. Diversity continues to be an important consideration in our approach to Board composition.

*Employee Diversity Data*

![glre-20230331_g9.jpg](glre-20230331_g9.jpg)![glre-20230331_g10.jpg](glre-20230331_g10.jpg)![glre-20230331_g11.jpg](glre-20230331_g11.jpg)

We strive to achieve a culture where everyone can feel a sense of ownership and accountability. This is best evidenced by our compensation structure, which balances the importance of both enterprise and individual performance. We believe everyone deserves equal opportunities for growth and advancement. Central to this goal is developing strong leaders who embrace our differences to inspire our best solutions. We believe that investing in our people and giving back to our communities builds and strengthens ties to the Company, our clients and our shareholders, which, in turn, advances better outcomes for all of our stakeholders.

*Community*

We aim to positively influence social, environmental and economic conditions for our employees, and by extension the communities where we live and work.

The Company and our Board value each of our employees and remain committed to ensuring that a safe and healthy workplace and environment is maintained. The Company is helping our full-time and part-time employees and their families thrive by offering comprehensive benefit plans and personal and professional wellness tools, including premium healthcare benefits, a flexible work policy and company-sponsored access to professional development and training seminars. We have adopted a flexible workplace policy for our employees. In addition to workplace respect, we expect employees to preserve and promote a clean, safe, and healthy local and global environment.

In addition, the Company has had a Charity Committee since 2006, which is composed of employees with oversight from a designated executive officer. The Charity Committee considers donation requests by employees that focus on areas of environment, youth and sports, arts and culture and benevolence. Additionally, at the discretion of the designated executive officer, the Company matches contributions made by our employees to non-profit organizations, including to environmental and social causes. The Company is a proud supporter of the National Trust for the Cayman Islands.

Since 2008, we have a scholarship program that provides financial assistance to Caymanian students who wish to further their post-high school education locally, allowing them to obtain degrees or vocational training in the field of their choice. During 2022, we granted scholarships to 19 eligible Caymanian students to assist with their post-secondary education.

*Environmental*

The Company understands its responsibility not only to provide solutions that help our clients manage their environmental and climate change risks, but also to monitor and control our carbon usage and ecological impact. Our Company is headquartered in Camana Bay, which is a community that values sustainable practices and initiatives, including recycling program, a farmers market to encourage locally-sourced food, and electric vehicle charging stations. While our operations do

------

not have a large physical footprint, we recognize that even the smallest measures contribute to minimizing our environmental impact and maximizing the sustainability of our business. As part of those small efforts, we have reduced our printing, leverage cloud application services and third party hosting to reduce datacenter processing. By virtue of our business, the Company assesses and offers protection against weather-related risks such as hurricanes, storms, wildfires and floods, helping businesses and individuals proactively manage their exposure to such risks.

**VOTING**

**Voting Procedures**

As a shareholder of GLRE, you have a right to vote on certain business matters affecting GLRE. The proposals that will be presented at the Meeting and upon which you are being asked to vote are discussed below under the "*Proposals*" section. Each Class A ordinary share of GLRE you own as of the record date, May 1, 2023, entitles you to one vote on each proposal presented at the Meeting, subject to certain provisions of our Articles, as described below under "*Voting Securities and Vote Required*."

**Electronic Availability of Proxy Materials for 2023 Annual Meeting**

Under rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, we are furnishing proxy materials to our shareholders primarily via the Internet, instead of mailing printed copies of those materials to each shareholder. On or about May 11, 2023 we will mail to our shareholders (other than those who previously requested electronic or paper delivery of all proxy materials) a Notice of Internet Availability containing instructions on how to access our proxy materials, including our proxy statement and our annual report. The Notice of Internet Availability also instructs you on how to access your proxy card to vote over the Internet, by mail or telephone.

This process is designed to expedite shareholders' receipt of proxy materials, help conserve natural resources and lower the cost of the Meeting. However, if you would prefer to receive printed proxy materials, please follow the instructions included in the Notice of Internet Availability. If you have previously elected to receive our proxy materials electronically, you will continue to receive these materials via e-mail unless you elect otherwise.

**Requesting a Paper Copy of Proxy Materials**

Any registered shareholder receiving a Notice of Internet Availability who would like to request a separate paper copy of these materials, should: (1) go to *www.envisionreports.com/GLRE* and follow the instructions provided; (2) send an e-mail message to investorvote@computershare.com with "Proxy Materials Greenlight Capital Re, Ltd." in the subject line and provide your name, address and the control number that appears in the box on the Notice of Internet Availability, and state in the e-mail that you want a paper copy of current meeting materials; or (3) call our stock transfer agent (Toll Free) at 1(866) 641-4276.

**VOTING SECURITIES AND VOTE REQUIRED**

As of March 30, 2023, the following ordinary shares are issued and outstanding:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 29,126,148 Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.10 per share; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 6,254,715 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.10 per share.The above ordinary shares are our only classes of equity shares outstanding and entitled to vote at the Meeting.

**Class A Ordinary Shares**

Each Class A ordinary share is entitled to one vote per share. However, except upon unanimous consent of our Board, no holder is permitted to acquire an amount of shares which would cause any person to own (directly, indirectly or constructively under applicable United States tax attribution and constructive ownership rules) 9.9% or more of the total voting power of the total issued and outstanding ordinary shares, such person referred to hereinafter as a 9.9% Shareholder. The Board will reduce, or cut back, the voting power of any holder that is a 9.9% Shareholder to the extent necessary such that the holder ceases to be a 9.9% Shareholder. In connection with this cut-back, the voting power of the other shareholders of the Company may be adjusted pursuant to the terms of the Articles. Accordingly, certain holders of Class A ordinary shares may be entitled to more than one vote per share subject to the 9.9% restriction in the event that our Board is required to make an adjustment on the voting power of any 9.9% Shareholder or the voting power of a holder of Class B ordinary shares as described below. At the

------

Meeting, we are recommending to our shareholders the elimination of these voting power reduction, or cut-back, provisions related to the Class A ordinary shares. See "*Proposal Eight — Approval of the Voting Cut-back Amendment.*"

**Class B Ordinary Shares**

Each Class B ordinary share is entitled to ten votes per share. However, the total voting power of all Class B ordinary shares, as a class, will not exceed 9.5% of the total voting power of the total issued and outstanding ordinary shares. The voting power of any Class A ordinary shares held by any holder of Class B ordinary shares (whether directly, or indirectly or constructively under applicable United States tax attribution and constructive ownership rules) will be included for purposes of measuring the total voting power of the Class B ordinary shares. The Board will reduce the voting power of any holder of Class B ordinary shares if the Class B ordinary shares, as a class, own more than 9.5% of the total voting power of the total issued and outstanding ordinary shares to the extent necessary such that the Class B ordinary shares, as a class, cease to own more than 9.5% of the total voting power of the outstanding ordinary shares. In connection with this reduction, the voting power of the other holders of ordinary shares of the Company will be adjusted pursuant to the terms of the Articles.

All of the Class B ordinary shares, equivalent to 17.7% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of the Company as of March 30, 2023 are beneficially held by David Einhorn, chair of our Board. As result of reduction of the voting power of the Class B ordinary shares, Mr. Einhorn is entitled to vote only 9.5% of the total voting power of the total issued and outstanding ordinary shares. Accordingly, the ten times voting rights afforded to the holders of the Class B ordinary shares currently has no practical impact or effect and does not provide any voting advantage to Mr. Einhorn as the beneficial holder of the Class B ordinary shares.

At the Meeting, we are recommending to our shareholders that the Class B ordinary shares be re-designated as Class A ordinary shares, that our Class A ordinary shares be reclassified as ordinary shares and that our dual-class structure be eliminated. See "*Proposal Seven — Approval of the Re-designation Resolutions*."

If proposal 7 is approved, the rights of the Class B ordinary shares shall be re-designated as Class A ordinary shares and shall have all of the rights attributable to the Class A ordinary shares, including the right to vote as Class A ordinary shares on proposals 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13.

**Voting Reduction**

The applicability of the voting power reduction, or cut-back, provisions to any particular shareholder depends on facts and circumstances that may be known only to the shareholder or related persons. Accordingly, we request that any holder of ordinary shares with reason to believe that it is a 9.9% Shareholder contact us promptly so that we may determine whether the voting power of such holder's ordinary shares should be reduced. By submitting a proxy, a holder of ordinary shares will be deemed to have confirmed that, to its knowledge, it is not, and is not acting on behalf of, a 9.9% Shareholder. The directors of the Company are empowered to require any shareholder to provide information as to that shareholder's beneficial ownership of ordinary shares, the names of persons having beneficial ownership of the shareholder's ordinary shares, relationships with other shareholders or any other facts the directors may consider relevant to the determination of the number of ordinary shares attributable to any person. The directors may disregard the votes attached to ordinary shares of any holder who fails to respond to such a request or who, in their judgment, submits incomplete or inaccurate information. The directors retain certain discretion to make such final adjustments that they consider fair and reasonable in all the circumstances as to the aggregate number of votes attaching to the ordinary shares of any shareholder to ensure that no person shall be a 9.9% Shareholder at any time. At the Meeting, we are recommending to our shareholders the elimination of these voting power reduction, or cut-back, provisions related to the Class A ordinary shares. See "*Proposal Eight — Approval of the Voting Cut-back Amendment.*"

In addition to the voting cut-back provisions described above, the Articles provide that, except upon unanimous consent by our Board, no shareholder is permitted to acquire Class A ordinary shares if such acquisition would cause such shareholder to become a 9.9% Shareholder. If our Board determines the ownership of any shareholder would violate the 9.9% ownership limitations, the Company will have the option to purchase all or part of the Class A ordinary shares owned by such shareholder.

**Quorum; Vote Required**

The attendance of two or more persons representing, in person or by proxy, more than 50% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares as of May 1, 2023, the record date for the determination of persons entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting, or the Record Date, is necessary to constitute a quorum at the Meeting. Assuming that a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of the holders of (i) a simple majority of the votes cast by the holders of ordinary shares present in person or represented by proxy at a general meeting of the Company and entitled to vote will be required to elect each of the

------

director nominees named in proposals 1, 2 and 3 and to approve proposals 4, 5, 6 and 11, each set forth in the Notice of Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, (ii) two-thirds of the votes cast by the holders of ordinary shares present in person or represented by proxy at a general meeting of the Company and entitled to vote (together with the consent of the holders of the requisite majority of Class B ordinary shares) will be required to approve proposal 7, and (iii) two-thirds of the votes cast by the holders of ordinary shares present in person or represented by proxy at a general meeting of the Company and entitled to vote will be required to approve proposals 8, 9 and 10, each set forth in the Notice of Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. Although the advisory votes in proposals 12 and 13 are non-binding as provided by law, our Board of Directors will review the result of the vote and take it into account in making future determinations concerning executive compensation. Proposals 2, 3, 5 and 6, which seek the approval of certain matters relating to Greenlight Re and GRIL, and proposals 7, 8, 9 and 10, which seek amendments to the Articles, must be submitted for approval by our shareholders pursuant to the Articles. Our Board of Directors will vote the shares in these subsidiaries at their respective annual general meetings in the same proportion as the votes received at the Meeting from our shareholders on these matters.

With regard to any proposal or director nominee, votes may be cast in favor of or against such proposal or director nominee or a shareholder may abstain from voting on such proposal or director nominee. Abstentions will be excluded entirely from the vote and will have no effect except that abstentions and "broker non-votes" will be counted toward determining the presence of a quorum for the transaction of business. Generally, broker non-votes occur when ordinary shares held by a broker for a beneficial owner are not voted on a particular proposal because the broker has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner, and the broker does not have discretionary authority to vote on a particular proposal.

------

**SOLICITATION AND REVOCATION**

Proxies must be received by us by 11:59 p.m. (local time) on July 24, 2023, the day prior to the Meeting day. A shareholder may revoke his or her proxy at any time up to one hour prior to the commencement of the Meeting.

To do this, you must:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• enter a new vote by telephone, over the Internet or by signing and returning another proxy card at a later date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• file a written revocation with the Secretary of the Company at our address set forth above;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• file a duly executed proxy bearing a later date; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• appear in person at the Meeting and vote in person.

The individuals designated as proxies in the proxy card are officers of the Company.

All ordinary shares represented by properly executed proxies that are returned, and not revoked, will be voted in accordance with the instructions, if any, given thereon. If no instructions are provided in an executed proxy, it will be voted FOR the election of each director nominee named in proposals 1, 2 and 3, FOR each of proposals 4 through 12 and "1 YEAR" with respect to proposal 13, each proposal as described herein as set forth on the accompanying form of proxy, and in accordance with the proxy holder's best judgment as to any other business as may properly come before the Meeting. If a shareholder appoints a person other than the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy to represent him or her, such person should vote the shares in respect of which he or she is appointed proxy holder in accordance with the directions of the shareholder appointing him or her.

**CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND COMMITTEES**

**Board Leadership Structure**

Our Board is committed to objective, independent leadership and views independent oversight as central to effective Board governance, serving the interests of our shareholders and other stakeholders, and to executing on our strategic objectives and creating long term value.

Since the Company's formation in 2004, the Company has separated the positions of Chair of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. David Einhorn, who, through an affiliate, sponsored the Company and is the President of DME Advisors, the investment advisor of Solasglas Investments, LP, or SILP, in which each of Greenlight Reinsurance and GRIL is a limited partner, has served as Chair of the Board since August 2004. Since July 1, 2017, Mr. Simon Burton has served as Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Since July 26, 2022, Joseph Platt has been our Lead Director.

We believe it is the Chair of the Board's responsibility to run the Board, the Lead Director's responsibility to provide independent oversight and chair executive sessions of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer's responsibility to run the Company. We believe it is beneficial to have a Chair of the Board who can concentrate on leading the Board and not have to be involved in the day-to-day operations of the Company and a Lead Director who can focus on chairing meetings of the independent directors, including executive sessions, and ensure that the concerns of the independent directors are heard.

By having three different individuals serve as Chair of the Board, Lead Director and Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Executive Officer is able to focus the vast amount of his time and energy in running the Company and furthering its operational business strategy. We believe our board leadership structure with a Chair of the Board with significant investment experience and expertise, an independent Lead Director with significant board experience and a Chief Executive Officer with significant leadership and management experience and expertise, complements our underwriting and investment strategies and helps us to further our business strategy and objectives.

We currently have seven independent directors and two non-independent directors. The non-independent directors are David Einhorn, Chair of the Board, and Simon Burton, our Chief Executive Officer. Our current independent directors are Johnny Ferrari, Ursuline Foley, Leonard Goldberg, Victoria Guest, Ian Isaacs, Bryan Murphy and Joseph Platt. We currently have an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating, Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee, each of which is composed solely of independent directors, as well as an Underwriting Committee. Our Board is

------

committed to maintaining a majority independent Board and believes that the number of independent, experienced directors on our Board provides the necessary and appropriate oversight for our Company.

**Alternate Director**

Section 14 of the Articles provides that any director (other than an alternate director) may, by writing, appoint any other director, or any other person willing to act, to be an alternate director for such director and, by writing, may remove from office an alternate director so appointed by him or her. As of the date of this proxy statement, Mr. Einhorn has appointed Daniel Roitman as his alternate director. Mr. Roitman has served as Chief Operating Officer and partner of Greenlight Capital, Inc. since January 2003. From 1996 through 2002, Mr. Roitman served as a vice president at Goldman Sachs. Before joining Goldman Sachs, Mr. Roitman was employed as a member of the New York technology practice at Andersen Consulting, now Accenture. Mr. Roitman earned a B.S. with distinction in electrical engineering from Cornell University in 1991 and a Master of Engineering in 1992. Mr. Roitman graduated with distinction from the New York University Stern School of Business in 2002, earning an MBA in Finance. Mr. Roitman, if elected to our Board, will cease to be Mr. Einhorn's alternate director. If not elected, Mr. Roitman is expected to continue to serve as Mr. Einhorn's alternate director.

**Board and Committee Risk Oversight**

The Board provides oversight with respect to the Company's risk assessment and risk management duties, which are designed to identify, prioritize, assess, monitor, address and mitigate material risks to the Company, including strategic, operational, compliance, public reporting, cybersecurity, technology, financial, underwriting, legal, regulatory, tax, compensatory and ESG risks. The Board administers oversight function at the Board level and through the Audit Committee, the Underwriting Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating, Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee. The Board oversees strategic, operational and compliance risks.

Each of the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, the Underwriting Committee and the Nominating, Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee is responsible for discussing certain guidelines and policies with management that govern the process by which risk assessment and control is handled.

The Company's senior management is responsible for the day-to-day management of the risks facing the Company, including strategic, operational, compliance, public reporting, data security, financial, underwriting, legal, regulatory, tax, ESG and reputational risks.

**Independence**

The Nominating, Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee and the Board of Directors have reviewed the responses of nominees to a questionnaire asking about their relationships (and those of immediate family members) with the Company and other potential conflicts of interest and have reviewed Nasdaq National Market Place Rule 5605, or Rule 5605, in determining the independence of each director nominee.

Certain of our directors or director nominees have invested or are invested in funds managed by Greenlight Capital, Inc. or its affiliates. We refer to these funds as the Greenlight Funds. Each of the Greenlight Funds is an affiliate of DME Advisors, the investment advisor of SILP, in which the Company invests. DME Advisors receives significant fees from SILP. DME Advisors is an affiliate of David Einhorn, the Chair of our Board, and Daniel Roitman, a director nominee, and accordingly each of Messrs. Einhorn and Roitman has been deemed to not be independent due to his respective relationship with DME Advisors.

As of December 31, 2022, Joseph Platt and Ian Isaacs were both limited partners in the Greenlight Funds, but do not directly or indirectly benefit from the advisory fees payable to DME Advisors from SILP. In determining whether each of Messrs. Platt and Isaacs is independent, the Nominating, Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee considered his respective limited partner interest in the Greenlight Funds, other relationship with Mr. Einhorn, including charitable giving, and the fact that over the last three fiscal years no director received any compensation or other special benefits from the Greenlight Funds or DME Advisors. Under Rule 5605, the Nominating, Governance and Corporate Responsibility considered the investments of Messrs. Platt and Isaacs in the Greenlight Funds, and ultimately determined that such investments would not interfere with their respective ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities as a director of the Company.

Further, in determining whether Ms. Guest is independent, the Nominating, Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee considered Ms. Guest's prior working relationship with Mr. Burton as SAC Re and determined that such relationship would not interfere with her ability to exercise independent business judgment in carrying out the responsibilities as a director of the Company.

------

The Nominating, Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee considered that Mr. Goldberg was the chief executive officer of the Company from 2005 to 2011 and the interim chief executive officer in 2017 and that Institutional Shareholder Services does not, pursuant to its own voting guidelines, deem Mr. Goldberg to be independent. Notwithstanding, the Nominating, Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee determined that Mr. Goldberg is independent pursuant to Rule 5605.

**Board Diversity**

Our Nominating, Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee seeks diverse skills sets and perspectives in order to provide representation of varied backgrounds, perspective and expertise to support the demands of our business.

We believe that our current directors bring a diverse set of skills and experience, as well as age, cultural and geographic diversity to the Company that are important to the execution of our strategic goals. When seeking new director candidates, our Nominating, Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee considers a candidate's business and professional experience, as well as their gender, racial and geographic diversity.

The Nominating, Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee recognizes the benefits associated with a diverse group of directors and takes diversity considerations into account when identifying director candidates. The Nominating, Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee considers diversity in the broadest context, including race, national origin, gender and sexuality, as well as diversity of professional experience, employment history, and experience on other boards of directors and as management of other companies.

In addition to the foregoing, we note that our director nominees are nationally diverse, comprised of citizens from the United States, Cayman Islands, Canada, Colombia, the United Kingdom and Ireland, and one is afforded the protections of the Americans with Disabilities Act (1990).

**Self-Evaluation and Peer Review Processes**

Board evaluation plays an important role in assessing the effectiveness of our Board. Pursuant to our Corporate Governance Guidelines, each of our directors, on an annual basis, is asked to complete a written self-evaluation and peer review. The chair of the Nominating, Governance and Corporate Governance Responsibility Committee then conducts phone interviews with each of the directors.

The Nominating, Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee monitors the self-evaluation and peer review process and oversees the evaluation of the Board's performance, Board composition and skill set, refreshment and committee leadership, in order to, among other things, ensure that the Board and its committees are providing the Company with the best leadership structure given the Company's current and anticipated needs. The results of the written evaluations and interviews are then discussed with the full Board and in executive session without management.

Following the 2022 self-evaluation and peer review process, the Board added one new director nominee with varying skill-sets in order to refresh, add additional skill-set to and to enhance a diversity of perspectives of the Board. *See* "*Director Nominee Skills and Qualifications.*"

**Hedging and Pledging Policies**

In March 2023, the Company amended and restated its insider trading policy, which prohibits our officers, directors, alternate directors and employees from entering into hedging transactions of our ordinary shares. Hedging transactions, such as zero-cost collars and forward sale contracts and other transactions designed to hedge or offset a decrease in market value of a person's stock holdings, are prohibited. The amended and restated insider trading policy prohibits our officers, directors and employees from pledging our ordinary shares as collateral to secure a loan or other obligation and placing any of our ordinary shares in a margin account, except that pledges that were in place at the date of adoption of the amended and restated insider trading policy are not subject to this prohibition.

**Clawback Policies**

In March 2023, the Company adopted a clawback policy, or the Clawback Policy, which is intended to comply with Section 10(d) of the Exchange Act. The Clawback Policy provides that incentive compensation (cash and equity) paid to our current and former officers, and such other senior executives who may from time to time be deemed subject to the policy by the Compensation Committee or the Board, may be recovered in the event of a restatement of our financial results. The recoverable amount under the Clawback Policy is the amount of incentive compensation received in excess of the amount that otherwise would have been received had it been determined based on the restated financial measure, as applicable. In addition, we will take action to modify the clawback policy as needed to comply with the Nasdaq listing standards implementing the final SEC rules related thereto. The Company has also implemented clawbacks in connection with our short-term incentive compensation awards.

**Succession Planning** 

On an annual basis, management develops a talent and succession plan for each member of our management team and their direct reports, focusing on high performing and high potential talent, diverse talent and the succession plan for each position. On a regular basis, our Board and Nominating, Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee receive management's comprehensive succession plan and provides feedback.

**Audit Committee**

The Audit Committee is composed entirely of non-management directors, each of whom the Nominating, Governance and Corporate Responsibility has determined is independent in accordance with the Nasdaq stock market rules and applicable rules and regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act.

The Audit Committee is governed by a written charter approved by our Board, which outlines its primary duties and responsibilities and which can be found on our website at <u>www.greenlightre.com</u>.

When our Board determines to seek a new member, whether to fill a vacancy or otherwise, the Nominating, Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee generally does not use third-party search firms. The Nominating, Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee considers recommendations from other directors, management and others, including shareholders. In general, the Nominating, Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee looks for directors possessing superior business judgment and integrity who have distinguished themselves in their chosen fields of endeavor and who have knowledge or experience in the areas of insurance, reinsurance, financial services or other aspects of the Company's business, operations or activities. In selecting director candidates, the Nominating, Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee also considers diversity, including race, ethnicity, gender, skills, geography and the interplay of the candidate's experience with the experience of the other board members.

The Nominating, Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee will consider, for director nominees, persons recommended by shareholders, who may submit recommendations to the Nominating, Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee in care of the Company's Secretary, Greenlight Capital Re, Ltd., 65 Market Street, Suite 1207, Jasmine Court, Camana Bay, P.O.

The non-management directors meet regularly in Board and committee executive sessions, which from time to time also exclude our non-independent Board members. An executive session is typically scheduled immediately before or after each Board meeting. At such sessions, our Lead Director typically presides. If the Lead Director position is vacant, the chair of the Nominating. Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee presides. Executive sessions are also regularly scheduled during committee meetings.

**Code of Ethics**

Our Board has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, or Code of Ethics, that applies to all of our directors, employees and officers, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Our current version of the Code of Ethics is available on our website at www.greenlightre.com. *See* "— *Environmental. Social and Governance* — *Governance.*"

Upon recommendation of the Audit Committee, our Board proposes that the shareholders ratify the appointment of Deloitte Ltd. to serve as the independent auditors of the Company for the 2023 fiscal year until the Company's Annual General Meeting of Shareholders in 2024. Deloitte Ltd. served as the independent auditors of the Company for the 2022 fiscal year. In the event of a negative vote on such ratification, the Audit Committee will reconsider its selection. Even if this appointment is ratified, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the Audit Committee determines that such a change would be in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders. A representative of Deloitte Ltd. will attend the Meeting and will be available to respond to questions and may make a statement if he or she so desires.

As previously reported on the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K, dated September 30, 2021, as a matter of good governance, the Audit Committee invited several registered public accounting firms to participate in an evaluation process to consider a potential audit firm rotation. On September 30, 2021, the Audit Committee approved the appointment of Deloitte Ltd. as our independent auditors for fiscal 2022, replacing BDO USA, LLP, who had served as the independent auditors of the Company since 2006.

At the Company's Annual General Meeting of Shareholders in 2022, the Company's shareholders ratified the Audit Committee's appointment of Deloitte Ltd. as the Company's independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.

------

BDO USA, LLP served as the independent auditors of the Company for the 2021 fiscal year. BDO USA, LLP's audit report on the Company's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, there were (i) no "disagreements" within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions between the Company and BDO USA, LLP on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to BDO USA, LLP's satisfaction, would have caused BDO USA, LLP to make reference thereto in its reports, and (ii) no "reportable events" within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

During the Company's fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted with Deloitte Ltd. on (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that Deloitte Ltd. concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was the subject of a "disagreement" within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K or any "reportable event" within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

Upon recommendation of the Audit Committee of GRIL, our Board proposes that the shareholders ratify the appointment of Deloitte Ireland LLP to serve as the independent auditors of GRIL for the 2023 fiscal year until the Company's Annual General Meeting of Shareholders in 2024. Deloitte Ireland LLP served as the independent auditors of GRIL for the 2022 fiscal year. Mazars served as the independent auditors of GRIL for the 2021 fiscal year.

**THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE RATIFICATION OF DELOITTE IRELAND LLP AS THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS OF GRIL.**

In addition, a copy of the Fourth Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association reflecting this proposal and proposals 8 and 9 recommended in this proxy statement (assuming all such proposals are approved) is attached to this proxy statement as <u>Appendix D</u>, which is proposed to be adopted pursuant to the special resolution contained in proposal 10. The discussion herein regarding this proposal is only a summary of material terms and may not contain all information that is important to you. You should carefully read the full text of <u>Appendix A</u> before deciding how to vote.

**Reasons for the Re-designation Resolutions**

***Strengthening corporate governance profile and enhancing eligibility for inclusion in major indices.***

Currently, the Company has two classes of ordinary shares: Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. The rights of the holders of Class A and Class B shares are identical, except for voting and conversion rights. Each Class A share is entitled to one vote, and each Class B share is entitled to ten votes. The Class B ordinary shares automatically convert into an equal number of Class A ordinary shares in the event of a sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition of any Class B ordinary shares by a holder thereof, other than a transfer to a permitted transferee, as defined in the Articles.

Major indices, proxy advisors, institutional investors, and assets managers contend that dual-class shares may have a negative effect on governance. The S&P, MSCI, and FTSE Russell indices have set limitations on dual-class companies.

------

Institutional Shareholder Services, Glass Lewis, the Council of Institutional Investors, and the Investor Stewardship Group support a one-share, one-vote standard and recommend that companies eliminate dual-class shares.

Our Board has approved, and recommends that the Company's shareholders approve, an amendment of the Articles to simplify the Company's capital structure and cause all outstanding shares of Class B ordinary shares to be re-designated as Class A ordinary shares on a one-to-one basis. The total number of ordinary shares currently authorized under the Articles will not change if the proposal is approved.

Our Board approved this proposal for the reasons detailed below. The Company strives to observe corporate governance best practices, which we believe are correlated with higher long-term returns to shareholders. Simplifying the Company's capital structure such that all shareholders of the Company will own a single class of ordinary shares of the Company will also reduce the cost and complexity and associated with Company's current capital structure. Moreover, increasing index eligibility and broadening investor appeal to both active and passive investors may expand the Company's shareholder base.

***A single class of share should enable us to streamline our share transfer agent functions and benefit plan administration.***

If we simplify our capital structure by moving to a single class of shares, we believe we will be in a better position to consider alternatives in the future for improving share and plan administration. In addition, this change would better position us to evaluate or consider other providers of these services.

Our dual-class share structure, which includes different voting rights and voting cut-back provisions, has created confusion among some investors with respect to the calculation of our total market capitalization and shares outstanding. Eliminating the dual-class structure would eliminate such confusion.

**Background of the Re-designation Resolutions**

In deciding whether to submit the Re-designation Resolutions to shareholders at this time, our Nominating, Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee and our Board considered our shareholders' outlook on corporate governance practices, our commitment to long-term investor value creation and weighed the pros and cons of the proposal. After deliberation, upon recommendation by our Nominating, Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee, our Board unanimously agreed that it would be in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders to submit the proposal for shareholder approval. We urge shareholders to vote "FOR" the approval of the Re-designation Resolutions.

**Vote Required for Approval**

Pursuant to Article 94 of the Articles, the Company may alter or add to the Articles if such alteration or addition is approved by a special resolution, being the affirmative vote of at least a two-thirds majority of the votes cast by the holders of ordinary shares present in person or represented by proxy at a general meeting of the Company and entitled to vote at a quorate general meeting. In addition, shareholders holding the requisite majority of the Class B ordinary shares must consent to the Re-designation Resolutions. Abstentions will be excluded entirely from the vote. The approval of this proposal 7 is a non-routine proposal on which a broker or other nominee does not have discretionary authority to vote.

If proposal 7 is approved, the rights of the Class B ordinary shares shall be re-designated as Class A ordinary shares and shall have all of the rights attributable to the Class A ordinary shares, including the right to vote as Class A ordinary shares on proposals 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13.

David Einhorn, DME 2022 Holdings, LLC and David M. Einhorn 2021-07 Family Trust, or the Class B Shareholders, are the beneficial and/or record holders of all the issued and outstanding Class B ordinary shares (and 9.5% of the total voting power of the total issued and outstanding ordinary shares). Pursuant to a revocable voting agreement expected to be entered into by and among the Company and the Class B Shareholders on or after the Record Date, the Class B Shareholders have expressed their intent to vote all of their Class B ordinary shares in favor of this proposal 7 (as well as proposals 8, 9 and 10). In the event that the Class B Shareholders revoke such agreement to vote in favor of this proposal 7 at any time prior to the commencement of the Meeting, this proposal 7 will not be approved. In addition, if proposal 7 is not approved, then proposal 8 shall be deemed to be withdrawn and not presented to shareholders for approval.

------

If proposal 7 and proposal 8 are approved by our shareholders at the Meeting, our Board, pursuant to Article 11(1)(c) of the Articles, has consented to the Class B Shareholders owning more than 9.9% of the total voting power of the total issued and outstanding ordinary shares.

**THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE APPROVAL OF THE RE-DESIGNATION RESOLUTIONS.**

**PROPOSAL EIGHT**

**APPROVAL OF THE VOTING CUT-BACK AMENDMENT**

We are submitting the proposal that our shareholders approve a special resolution to amend our Articles to eliminate the voting power reduction, or voting cut-back, provisions related to the Class A ordinary shares, or the Voting Cut-back Amendment. The Voting Cut-back Amendment would eliminate the voting cut-back provisions with respect to the Class A ordinary shares and delete provisions no longer applicable following such elimination.

The text of the Voting Cut-back Amendment is attached as <u>Appendix B</u> to this proxy statement. Additions to the Articles are indicated by underlining and deletions to the Articles are indicated by strikeouts. In addition, a copy of the Fourth Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association reflecting this proposal and proposals 7 and 9 recommended in this proxy statement (assuming all such proposals are approved) is attached to this proxy statement as <u>Appendix D</u>, which is proposed to be adopted pursuant to the special resolution contained in proposal 10. The discussion herein regarding this proposal is only a summary of material terms and may not contain all information that is important to you. You should carefully read the full text of <u>Appendix B</u> before deciding how to vote.

**Reasons for the Voting Cut-back Amendment** 

Articles 12(3), 54, 43(2) and others of the Articles contain cut-back provisions that limit any U.S. shareholder from owning or controlling ordinary shares constituting 9.9% or more of the voting power of all of our ordinary shares, or voting cut-back provisions. The purpose of the voting cut-back provisions was to reduce any risk that the Company and our non-U.S. subsidiaries be deemed a "controlled foreign corporation", or CFC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Pursuant to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, or the Tax Act, enacted by the U.S. government in December 2017, the definition of a "United States shareholder" for purposes of the CFC determination has been expanded to refer to economic ownership in addition to voting power. Because of these changes, the voting cut-back provisions are no longer effective in preventing "United States shareholder" status for U.S. persons who hold 10% or more of the value of our ordinary shares, and therefore is no longer effective in reducing any risk of CFC status for the Company and our non-U.S. subsidiaries.

Since the voting cut-back provisions are no longer effective in accomplishing the tax purposes for which they were created, we propose removing those provisions from the Articles.

**Vote Required for Approval**

Pursuant to Article 94 of the Articles, the Company may alter or add to the Articles if such alteration or addition is approved by a special resolution, being the affirmative vote of at least a two-thirds majority of the votes cast by the holders of ordinary shares present in person or represented by proxy at a general meeting of the Company and entitled to vote at a quorate general meeting. Abstentions will be excluded entirely from the vote. The approval of this proposal is a non-routine proposal on which a broker or other nominee does not have discretionary authority to vote.

If proposal 7 is not approved, then proposal 8 shall be deemed to be withdrawn and not presented to shareholders for approval.

**THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE APPROVAL OF THE VOTING CUT-BACK AMENDMENT.** 

**PROPOSAL NINE**

**APPROVAL OF THE PUSH-UP AMENDMENT**

------

We are submitting the proposal that our shareholders approve a special resolution to amend our Articles to eliminate certain provisions regarding the voting of subsidiary shares, or the Push-up Amendment. The Push-up Amendment would eliminate the provisions related to the voting of subsidiary shares and delete provisions no longer applicable following such elimination.

The text of the Push-up Amendment is attached as <u>Appendix C</u> to this proxy statement. Additions to the Articles are indicated by underlining and deletions to the Articles are indicated by strikeouts. In addition, a copy of the Fourth Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association reflecting this proposal and proposals 7 and 8 recommended in this proxy statement (assuming all such proposals are approved) is attached to this proxy statement as <u>Appendix D</u>, which is proposed to be adopted pursuant to the special resolution contained in proposal 10. The discussion herein regarding the proposal is only a summary of material terms and may not contain all information that is important to you. You should carefully read the full text of <u>Appendix C</u> before deciding how to vote.

**Reasons for the Push-up Amendment** 

Article 96 of the Articles provides that if the Company is required or entitled to vote at general meetings of (i) Greenlight Reinsurance, Ltd. or (ii) any other direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States that is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal tax purposes and designated by the Board, or a Designated Subsidiary, our directors shall refer the subject matter of the vote to our shareholders on a poll and seek authority from our shareholders to have the Company's corporate representative or proxy vote in favor of the resolution proposed by Greenlight Reinsurance, Ltd. and/or such Designated Subsidiary, or Push-up Voting. Article 97 of the Articles requires Greenlight Reinsurance, Ltd. and any Designated Subsidiary to include similar provisions in their organizational documents. The purpose of Push-up Voting was to reduce any risk that our non-U.S. subsidiaries be deemed CFCs for U.S. federal income tax purposes, by ensuring that the voting power of our subsidiaries was in line with the voting power of our shareholders. Because of the changes described above in proposal 8, whereby the Tax Act expanded the definition of "United States shareholder" for CFC determination purposes to consider economic ownership in addition to voting power, Push-up Voting is no longer effective in preventing "United States shareholder" status with respect to our subsidiaries for U.S. persons who hold 10% or more of the value of our ordinary shares, and is therefore no longer effective in reducing any risk of CFC status for our non-U.S. subsidiaries.

In light of the fact that the Push-up Voting provisions are no longer effective in accomplishing the tax purposes for which they were created, we propose removing Articles 96 and 97 from the Articles. In addition, removing Articles 96 and 97 will result in expense savings related to the customization of our proxy card and internet voting platform.

**Vote Required for Approval**

Pursuant to Article 94 of the Articles, the Company may alter or add to the Articles if such alteration or addition is approved by a special resolution, being the affirmative vote of at least a two-thirds majority of the votes cast by the holders of ordinary shares present in person or represented by proxy at a general meeting of the Company and entitled to vote at a quorate general meeting. Abstentions will be excluded entirely from the vote. The approval of this proposal is a non-routine proposal on which a broker or other nominee does not have discretionary authority to vote.

**THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT OF THE COMPANY'S THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION TO ELIMINATE THE PUSH-UP PROVISIONS.**

**PROPOSAL TEN**

**APPROVAL OF THE FOURTH AMENDED AND RESTATED MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION**

We are submitting the proposal that our shareholders approve a special resolution to adopt the Fourth Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association attached to this proxy statement as <u>Appendix D</u>, reflecting proposals 7, 8 and 9 recommended in this proxy statement (assuming all such proposals are approved). This proposal is conditioned on the approval of each of proposals 7, 8 and 9.

------

In addition to the amendments to the Articles contained in proposals 7, 8, and 9, the Fourth Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association contain updates to certain references to legislation and other matters administrative in nature required to be updated in order to comply with applicable law as of the date of adoption.

The full text of the special resolution to be passed is as follows:

"**RESOLVED**, as a special resolution, that the Third Memorandum and Articles of Association currently in effect be amended and restated by the deletion in their entirety and the substitution in their place of the proposed Fourth Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association in the form presented to the shareholders for approval at this general meeting."

**Reasons for the Fourth Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association**

Assuming that proposals 7, 8 and 9 are approved, an omnibus amended and restated memorandum and articles of incorporation will eliminate confusion and provide for administrative ease to our Board and our shareholders to identify and ensure implementation of the rights contained in our Company's organizational documents.

**Vote Required for Approval**

Pursuant to Article 94 of the Articles, the Company may alter or add to the Articles if such alteration or addition is approved by a special resolution, being the affirmative vote of at least a two-thirds majority of the votes cast by the holders of ordinary shares present in person or represented by proxy at a general meeting of the Company and entitled to vote at a quorate general meeting. For the avoidance of doubt, if the required shareholder vote with respect to this proposal is not obtained, any previously approved amendments to the Articles pursuant to proposals 7, 8 or 9 will remain in effect. Abstentions will be excluded entirely from the vote. The approval of this proposal is a non-routine proposal on which a broker or other nominee does not have discretionary authority to vote.

If proposals 7, 8 and 9 are not approved, then proposal 10 shall be deemed to be withdrawn and not presented to shareholders for approval.

**THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE APPROVAL OF THE ADOPTION THE FOURTH AMENDED AND RESTATED MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION.**

**PROPOSAL ELEVEN**

**APPROVAL AND ADOPTION OF 2023 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN**

**Overview**

Our Board has adopted, subject to shareholder approval, the Greenlight Capital Re, Ltd. 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan, or the 2023 Incentive Plan. The 2023 Incentive Plan is intended to replace the Greenlight Capital Re, Ltd. Amended and Restated 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, or the 2004 stock incentive plan, which was amended and restated effective August 15, 2005, and further amended on February 14, 2007, May 4, 2007, April 28, 2010, April 26, 2017 and October 29, 2020. Our Board believes that equity grants are a significant component of total compensation for our employees, officers, directors and consultants and in the best interests of our shareholders.

The purpose of the 2023 Incentive Plan is to promote the interests of the Company and its shareholders by (i) attracting, retaining, motivating, and rewarding exceptional employees, officers, directors and consultants (including prospective employees, officers, directors and consultants) of the Company and its affiliates, (ii) enabling such individuals to participate in the long-term growth and financial success of the Company and (iii) directly linking compensation with Company performance.

If this proposal is approved by shareholders, then the 2004 stock incentive plan share reserve will be transferred to the 2023 Incentive Plan and any forfeitures under the 2004 stock incentive plan will become available for grant under the 2023 Incentive Plan. The 2023 Incentive Plan shall not terminate, amend or modify any provision of the 2004 stock incentive plan nor adversely affect any awards granted under the 2004 stock incentive plan or rights outstanding under the 2004 stock incentive plan; provided, however, that, following shareholder approval of the 2023 Incentive Plan by the Company's shareholders, no further awards will be granted under the 2004 stock incentive plan.

------

The 2004 stock incentive plan is currently the sole plan for providing equity incentive compensation to eligible employee, officers, directors and consultants of the Company and its affiliates. As noted above, the Company believes that equity-based awards are an important part of its overall compensation program, and wants to ensure that there is a sufficient number of shares available to adequately incentivize its employees, officers, directors and consultants. The Company anticipates that it could exhaust the shares available under the 2004 stock incentive plan within the next year. As of December 31, 2022, the 2004 stock incentive plan had 2,011,426 Class A ordinary shares available for issuance. On March 15, 2023, the Company made grants of restricted stock and restricted stock units to our employees with respect to an aggregate of 623,699 Class A ordinary shares, after which the balance of shares available for issuance under 2004 stock incentive plan was 1,387,727. Our Board is requesting that shareholders approve the 2023 Incentive Plan so as to increase the maximum number of Class A ordinary shares for which awards may be granted by 2,000,000 Class A ordinary shares. If this proposal is approved, the aggregate number of Class A ordinary shares that may be delivered pursuant to awards granted under the 2023 Incentive Plan will be equal to the sum of (i) 2,000,000 and (ii) any shares that remain available under the 2004 stock incentive plan as of the date of approval. We currently estimate that this increase in shares will allow the 2023 Incentive Plan to operate for approximately the next three to five years. Shareholder approval of the 2023 Incentive Plan is intended to, among other things, comply with the rules and regulations of the NASDAQ.

**Highlights**

The 2023 Incentive Plan contains a number of provisions for the benefit of our shares, including the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Limited Share Recycling*. Clarifies that (i) any Class A Ordinary shares tendered to, or withheld by, the Company to satisfy the grant or exercise price or tax withholding obligations pursuant to any award, including with respect to any stock appreciation right, or SAR, or option, and (ii) any shares not issued or delivered as a result of a net settlement of an outstanding SAR or option, in each case, will not become available again for future issuance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Clawback*. Provides that awards under the 2023 Incentive Plan are subject to our clawback and/or recoupment policies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Limits Annual Compensation for Non-Employee Directors*. Imposes a $750,000 annual limit on the cash and equity compensation payable to each of our non-employee directors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *No Dividends or Dividend Equivalents on Unearned Awards*. Provides that to the extent the Committee (as defined below) has provided for the payment of dividends or dividend equivalents with respect to certain awards, participants would not be entitled to payment of such dividends or dividend equivalents unless, and to the extent, such awards vest or are no longer subject to forfeiture.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Types of Awards*. Authorizes the grant of SARs, and other incentive awards to allow the Company greater flexibility in designing customary incentive awards.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *No Repricing*. Express prohibition on the repricing of stock options and SARs without first obtaining shareholder approval.

In addition, the 2023 Incentive Plan continues a number of shareholder-friendly provisions from the 2004 stock incentive plan:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Fixed Reserve of Shares*. The number of the Company's Class A Ordinary shares available for grant is fixed and will not automatically increase because of an "evergreen" feature; shareholder approval is required to issue any additional shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *No Tax Gross-Ups*. No provision of any tax gross-ups.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *No Automatic Grants*. Does not provide for automatic grants to any participant.

**<u>Information Regarding Share Usage and Dilution</u>**

The following table provides information regarding our outstanding awards and common shares available for future awards under the existing 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (see below) as of March 27, 2023 (and without giving effect to approval and adoption of the 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan under this proposal):

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| | **2004 Stock Incentive Plan** |
| Total outstanding stock options | 690337 |
| Total outstanding service restricted stock units | 136280 |
| Total outstanding performance restricted stock units | 176129 |
| Total common shares available for future grant | 1387727 |
| **Total outstanding dilutive awards** | **2390473** |

---

------

As of December 31, 2022, the weighted average exercise price of all outstanding stock options was $22.25, and the weighted average remaining contractual life of outstanding stock options was 4.0 years.

Our Compensation Committee monitors the annual burn rate and total dilution, and approves the grant of stock-based awards that it believes are necessary to attract, reward, and retain employees, officers, and directors. Burn rate is defined as the rate in which the Company uses the supply of shares authorized for issuance under its 2004 Stock Incentive Plan. Over the last three years, our average burn rate was 2.1% of common shares outstanding per year. Dilution measures the degree to which our shareholders' ownership has been diluted by stock-based compensation awarded under our current 2004 Stock Incentive Plan. The following table shows our burn rate and dilution percentages over the last three years:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Key Equity Metrics** | **2020** | **2021** | **2022** |
| Burn rate <sup>(1)</sup> | 1.6% | 1.4% | 3.2% |
| Dilution <sup>(2)</sup> | 12.8% | 11.9% | 8.6% |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(1)</sup> Calculated by dividing the number of common shares subject to equity awards granted during the fiscal year by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the fiscal year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(2)</sup> Calculated by dividing the number of common shares subject to equity awards outstanding at the end of the fiscal year by the number of common shares outstanding at the end of the fiscal year.

After giving effect to the Company's proposed increase in the share reserve of 2 million, the total fully-diluted overhang as of March 27, 2023 would be 11.0%. This is calculated as the sum of grants outstanding and shares available for future awards including the proposed 2 million (numerator) divided by the sum of the numerator and basic common shares outstanding (denominator) on March 27, 2023.

Our future usage of the proposed 2023 Incentive Plan could be influenced by a number of factors such as award type mix (including performance related), hiring and promotion activity at the executive level, the rate at which awards are returned to the 2023 Incentive Plan's reserve upon the award's expiration, forfeiture or cash settlement; the future performance of our common share price; and other factors.

**Summary of the 2023 Incentive Plan**

The following is a summary of the material features of the 2023 Incentive Plan. This summary is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the 2023 Incentive Plan, a copy of which is attached to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus as <u>Appendix E</u> and is incorporated by reference herein.

*Administration.* The 2023 Incentive Plan will be administered by our Board, the compensation committee of our Board, or such other committee appointed by our Board to administer the 2023 Incentive Plan, each of which we refer to as the Committee. The Committee will have the authority to construe and interpret the 2023 Incentive Plan, grant awards and make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the 2023 Incentive Plan.

*Nonemployee Director Award Limits.* The aggregate maximum value of all awards granted under the 2023 Incentive Plan (determined as of the date of grant) to any non-employee director of the Company during any one calendar year, taken together with any cash fees paid to such non-employee director for service as a non-employee director during such calendar year, will not exceed $750,000. The independent members of the Board or the Committee may, in their sole discretion, determine to make an exception to this limit; provided, however, that no director for whom such an exception is sought shall participate in any such determination.

*Eligibility.* Employees, officers, directors, and consultants of the Company and its affiliates, will be eligible to receive awards under the 2023 Incentive Plan. The Committee will determine who will receive awards and the terms and conditions associated with such awards.

*Share Reserve and Counting.*

Subject to adjustment for changes in capitalization and similar events, the aggregate number of Class A ordinary shares that would be available to be delivered pursuant to awards granted under the 2023 Incentive Plan would be equal to the sum of (i) 2,000,000 shares and (ii) any shares that remain or otherwise become available under the 2004 stock incentive plan (including as a result of forfeiture, expiration, termination, cancellation or settlement other than by the delivery of shares of awards outstanding under such plans) as of the date of approval of the 2023 Incentive Plan by the Company's shareholders, of which 1,500,000 shares could be granted pursuant to incentive stock options, or ISOs. As of March 27, 2023, a total of 2,852,868 Class A ordinary shares were subject to outstanding awards under the 2004 stock incentive plan. The closing price per share of our Class A ordinary shares on the Nasdaq on March 27, 2023 was $9.49.

------

If, after the date of approval of the 2023 Incentive Plan, any award granted under the 2023 Incentive Plan or 2004 stock incentive plan is forfeited or otherwise expires, terminates or is canceled without the delivery of all Class A ordinary shares subject thereto or is settled other than wholly by the delivery of Class A ordinary shares (including cash settlement), then the number of Class A ordinary shares subject to such award that were not issued shall again become available for issuance under the 2023 Incentive Plan.

The following Class A ordinary shares may not be available again for issuance as awards: (i) shares not issued or delivered as a result of the net settlement of an outstanding SAR or option, (ii) shares withheld or used to satisfy the grant price, exercise price or tax withholding obligation pursuant to any award, including shares used to pay the exercise price related to an outstanding option or SAR or (iii) shares repurchased on the open market with the proceeds of an option exercise price.

*Award.* The 2023 Incentive Plan authorizes the award of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, or RSUs, SARs, and other stock-based awards. For stock options that are intended to qualify as ISOs under Section 422 of the Code, the maximum number of shares subject to ISO awards is 1,500,000. Certain awards under the 2023 Incentive Plan may constitute or provide for a deferral of compensation, subject to Section 409A of the Code, or Section 409A, which may impose additional requirements on the terms and conditions of such awards. All awards under the 2023 Incentive Plan will be set forth in award agreements, which will detail the terms and conditions of the awards, including any applicable vesting and payment terms and post-termination exercise limitations. A brief description of each award type follows.

*Stock Options.* Stock options provide for the purchase Class A ordinary shares at an exercise price set on the grant date. The 2023 Incentive Plan provides for the grant of ISOs only to employees of the Company and its affiliates. Nonqualified options, or NSOs, may be granted to employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company and its affiliates. The exercise price of each option to purchase shares must be at least equal to the fair market value of company shares on the date of grant. The exercise price of ISOs granted to 10% or more shareholders must be at least equal to 110% of that value. Options granted under the 2023 Incentive Plan may be exercisable at such times and subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee determines. The maximum term of options granted under the 2023 Incentive Plan is 10 years (five years in the case of ISOs granted to 10% or more shareholders). No dividend or dividend equivalent rights shall be paid out on options.

*Restricted Stock.* The Committee may grant awards consisting of Class A ordinary shares, the restrictions of which will lapse upon the terms that the Committee determines at the time of grant. The Committee will determine the requirements for the lapse of the restrictions for the restricted stock awards, which may be based on the service of the participant for a specified time period or the attainment of one or more performance goals. Participants holding restricted stock awards will have the rights of stockholders, including to receive all dividends and other distributions with respect thereto, unless the Committee determines otherwise to the extent permitted under applicable law. If a participant has the right to receive dividends paid with respect to a restricted stock award, such dividends shall not be paid to the participant until the underlying award vests. Unless otherwise provided in an award agreement or otherwise, vesting will cease on the date the participant no longer provides services to the Company and unvested shares will be repurchased by the Company as soon as practicable following such termination. Any shares granted under a restricted stock award are nontransferable, except in limited circumstances.

*Restricted Stock Units.* An RSU is a notional unit representing the right to receive one Class A ordinary share (or the cash value of one Class A ordinary share) on a specified settlement date. The Committee may grant awards consisting of RSUs subject to restrictions on sale and transfer. The Committee may condition the grant or vesting of RSUs on the achievement of performance conditions and/or the satisfaction of a time-based vesting schedule. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at the time of award, vesting will cease on the date the participant no longer provides services to the Company and unvested RSUs will be forfeited. Further, a Participant shall not be entitled to dividends or dividend equivalents with respect to RSUs prior to settlement.

*Stock Appreciation Rights*. SARs provide for a payment, or payments, in cash, Class A ordinary shares or property, as specified in the applicable award, to the holder based upon the difference between the fair market value of Class A ordinary shares on the date of exercise and the stated exercise price of the stock appreciation right. The exercise price must be at least equal to the fair market value of a Class A ordinary share on the date the stock appreciation right is granted. Stock appreciation rights may vest based on time or achievement of performance conditions, as determined by the Committee in its discretion. No dividends or dividend equivalents shall be paid on SARs.

*Other Stock-Based Awards*. The Committee is authorized, subject to limitations under applicable law, to grant participants other awards under the 2023 Incentive Plan that may be denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based upon or related to the Class A ordinary shares. The Committee may also grant Class A ordinary shares as a bonus and grant awards in lieu of obligations of the Company or its affiliates to pay cash or deliver property under the 2023 Incentive Plan or other plans or compensatory arrangements.

------

*Adjustment.*

In the event of changes in the outstanding Class A ordinary shares or in the capital structure of the Company by reason of stock dividends, extraordinary cash dividends, stock splits, reverse stock splits, recapitalizations, reorganizations, mergers, amalgamations, consolidations, combinations, exchanges, or other relevant changes in capitalization, in connection with any extraordinary dividend declared and paid in respect of Class A ordinary shares, in the event of any change in applicable laws or circumstances or as otherwise set forth in the 2023 Incentive Plan, in each case, that results in or could result in, in either case, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, any substantial dilution or enlargement of the rights intended to be granted to, or available for, participants in the 2023 Incentive Plan, awards shall be equitably and proportionally adjusted or substituted, as determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, as to the number, price, or kind of a share, other securities or other consideration subject to such awards.

Generally, except as otherwise provided by the Committee in an award agreement or otherwise, in connection with certain corporate events, including but not limited to a change in control (as defined in the 2023 Incentive Plan), the Committee may provide for any one or more of the following: (i) the assumption or substitution of any or all awards in connection therewith, with awards that vest based on performance criteria being deemed earned at the target level (or if no target is specified, the maximum level) and converted into solely time-based vesting awards, (ii) the acceleration of vesting of any or all awards not assumed or substituted in connection with the corporate event (with vesting of performance-based awards deemed earned at the target level (or if no target is specified, the maximum level), unless otherwise specified in the applicable award agreement), (iii) the cancellation of any or all awards not assumed or substituted in connection with such corporate event (whether vested or unvested) together with the payment to participants holding vested awards so canceled of an amount in respect of cancellation based on the per-share consideration being paid for the shares in connection with such corporate event, (iv) the cancellation or any or all options, SARs, and other awards subject to exercise not assumed or substituted in connection with any such corporate event (whether vested or unvested) after providing the holder thereof with a period of at least 10 days to exercise such awards, and (v) the replacement of any and all awards (subject to certain limitations) with a cash incentive program that preserves the value of the awards so replaced.

*Clawback/Recoupment Policy.* Under the 2023 Incentive Plan, each award is subject to the Company's clawback and recoupment policies, as may be in effect from time to time. Awards are also subject to clawback, forfeiture or similar requirements under applicable law, rule or regulation.

*Plan Amendment and Termination.* The Board or Committee may amend the 2023 Incentive Plan and awards granted thereunder at any time and from time to time. The Board or the Committee may suspend or terminate the 2023 Incentive Plan at any time. Unless sooner terminated, the 2023 Incentive Plan shall terminate on the day before the tenth anniversary of the date the stockholders approve the 2023 Incentive Plan. No awards may be granted under the 2023 Incentive Plan while it is suspended.

**Certain United States Federal Income Tax Aspects**

The material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the 2023 Incentive Plan under current United States federal income tax law are summarized in the following discussion, which deals with the general United States federal income tax principles applicable to the 2023 Incentive Plan. The following discussion is based upon laws, regulations, rulings and decisions now in effect, all of which are subject to change. Any non-U.S., state and local tax laws, and employment, estate and gift tax considerations are not discussed due to the fact that they may vary depending on individual circumstances and from locality to locality.

*Stock options and SARs*.

A 2023 Incentive Plan participant generally will not recognize taxable income upon the grant of a stock option or SAR. The tax consequences of exercising a stock option and the subsequent disposition of the shares received upon exercise will depend upon whether the option qualifies as an ISO or an NSO. Upon exercising an NSO when the fair market value of a Class A ordinary share is higher than the exercise price of the option, a 2023 Incentive Plan participant generally will recognize taxable income at ordinary income tax rates equal to the excess of the fair market value of the stock on the date of exercise over the exercise price. Upon a subsequent sale or other disposition of the option shares, the participant will recognize a short-term or long-term capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the sales price of the shares and the participant's tax basis in the shares.

Upon exercising an ISO, a 2023 Incentive Plan participant generally will not recognize taxable income. However, upon exercise, the amount by which the fair market value of the shares purchased exceeds the purchase price will be an item of adjustment for alternative minimum tax purposes. The participant will recognize taxable income upon a subsequent sale or other taxable disposition of the option shares. For federal income tax purposes, dispositions are divided into two categories: qualifying and disqualifying. A qualifying disposition generally occurs if the sale or other disposition is made more than two

------

years after the date the option was granted and more than one year after the date the shares are transferred upon exercise. If the sale or disposition occurs before these two periods are satisfied, then a disqualifying disposition generally will result.

Upon a qualifying disposition of ISO shares, the participant will recognize long-term capital gain in an amount equal to the excess of the amount realized upon the sale or other disposition of the shares over their purchase price. If there is a disqualifying disposition of the shares, then the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the exercise date (or, if less, the price at which the shares are sold) over their purchase price will be taxable as ordinary income to the participant. If there is a disqualifying disposition in the same year of exercise, it eliminates the item of adjustment for alternative minimum tax purposes. Any additional gain or loss recognized upon the disposition will be recognized as a capital gain or loss by the participant.

Upon exercising or settling a SAR, a 2023 Incentive Plan participant will recognize taxable income at ordinary income tax rates, in the amount paid or value of the shares issued upon exercise or settlement. Payments in shares will be valued at the fair market value of the shares at the time of the payment, and upon the subsequent disposition of the shares the participant will recognize a short-term or long-term capital gain or loss in the amount of the difference between the sales price of the shares and the participant's tax basis in the shares.

*Restricted Stock and RSUs*.

A 2023 Incentive Plan participant generally will not recognize taxable income upon the grant of restricted stock or RSUs. Upon the termination of restrictions on restricted stock or the settlement of RSUs, the participant will recognize taxable income at ordinary income tax rates, in the amount by which the then fair market value of (i) the shares, cash or property received by the participant, in the case of RSUs, or (ii) the shares with respect to which the restrictions have lapsed, in the case of restricted stock, exceeds the amount, if any, paid for such shares, cash or property. Upon the subsequent disposition of any shares, the participant will recognize a short-term or long-term capital gain or loss in the amount of the difference between the sales price of the shares and the participant's tax basis in the shares.

However, a 2023 Incentive Plan participant granted restricted stock that is subject to forfeiture or repurchase through a vesting schedule such that it is subject to a risk of forfeiture (as defined in Section 83 of the Code) may make an election under Section 83(b) of the Code to recognize taxable income at ordinary income tax rates, at the time of the grant, in an amount equal to the fair market value of the Shares on the date of grant, less the amount paid, if any, for the shares. If a timely Section 83(b) election is made, the participant will not recognize any additional ordinary income on the termination of restrictions on restricted stock.

*Section 409A.* 

Section 409A imposes an additional 20% tax and interest on an individual receiving non-qualified deferred compensation under a plan that fails to satisfy certain requirements. For purposes of Section 409A, non-qualified deferred compensation could include equity-based incentive programs, including certain stock options, SARs and RSU programs. Generally speaking, Section 409A does not apply to incentive stock options, non-discounted non-qualified stock options and stock appreciation rights if no deferral is provided beyond exercise, or restricted stock.

The awards made pursuant to the 2023 Incentive Plan are expected to be designed in a manner intended to be exempt from, or comply with, the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. However, if the 2023 Incentive Plan any award thereunder fails to be maintained and administered in compliance with Section 409A, a participant could be subject to the additional taxes and interest.

*Non-United States Taxpayers*.

If a participant is subject to the tax laws of any country other than the United States, the participant should consult the participant's own tax and legal advisors to determine the tax and legal consequences of any award received under the plan.

Non-U.S., state, and local tax consequences may in some cases differ from the United States federal income tax consequences described above. The foregoing summary of the United States federal income tax consequences in respect of the 2023 Incentive Plan is for general information only. Interested parties should consult their own advisors as to specific tax consequences of their awards.

**New Equity Incentive Plan Benefits**

No awards have been previously granted under the 2023 Incentive Plan and no awards have been granted that are contingent on shareholder approval of the 2023 Incentive Plan. The awards that are to be granted to any participant or group of participants are indeterminable at the date of this proxy statement/prospectus because participation and the types of awards that may be granted under the 2023 Incentive Plan are subject to the discretion of the Committee. Consequently, no new plan

------

benefits table is included in this proxy statement/prospectus. For information regarding equity awards granted to our named executive officers during 2022, please refer to the section entitled "*Summary Compensation Table*". Equity awards granted to our non-employee directors during 2022 are described under "*Proposal One—Election of Directors of the Company—Director Compensation*". For information regarding equity compensation plans approved and not approved by shareholders, please refer to the section entitled "*Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control—Equity Compensation Plan Information*".

**Registration With the SEC**

Immediately following approval of this proposal, we intend to file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-8 covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable under the 2023 Incentive Plan.

**Vote Required for Approval**

Under the Nasdaq rules, approval of the 2023 Incentive Plan requires the affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast on the proposal. Brokers do not have discretion to vote on this proposal without your instruction. If you do not instruct your broker how to vote on this proposal, your broker will deliver a non-vote on this proposal. Broker non-votes and abstentions will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on this proposal.

**THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE APPROVAL AND ADOPTION OF THE 2023 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN.**

**PROPOSAL TWELVE**

**ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION**

The Compensation Discussion and Analysis of this proxy statement describes the Company's executive compensation program and the compensation decisions made by our Compensation Committee and our Board in 2022 with respect to our Chief Executive Officer and certain other executive officers (whom we refer to as the "named executive officers"). In accordance with Section 14A of the Exchange Act, our Board is asking shareholders to cast a non-binding advisory vote on the following resolution:

"**RESOLVED**, that the shareholders of Greenlight Capital Re, Ltd. ("GLRE") approve the compensation of the GLRE executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table, as disclosed in this proxy statement pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (which disclosure includes the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the executive compensation tables and the related footnotes and narrative accompanying the tables)."

As we describe in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, our executive compensation program embodies a performance-driven philosophy that supports GLRE's business strategy and aligns the interests of our executives with our shareholders. Our Board believes this link between compensation and the achievement of our long-term business goals has helped drive GLRE's performance over time. At the same time, we believe our program does not encourage excessive risk-taking by management.

For these reasons, our Board asks shareholders to support this proposal. While the advisory vote we are asking you to cast is non-binding, our Compensation Committee and our Board value the views of our shareholders and will take into account the outcome of the vote when considering future compensation decisions for our named executive officers. We currently plan to hold an annual advisory vote on compensation.

**THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE RESOLUTION APPROVING THE COMPANY'S EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.**

**PROPOSAL THIRTEEN**

**ADVISORY VOTE ON FREQUENCY OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION ADVISORY VOTES**

In proposal 12, shareholders are being asked to cast a non-binding advisory vote with respect to the compensation of the GLRE executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table. This advisory vote is typically referred to as a "say-on-pay" vote. In this proposal 13, our Board is asking shareholders to cast a non-binding advisory vote on how frequently say-on-pay votes should be held in the future. Shareholders will be able to cast their votes on whether to hold say-on-pay votes every one, two or three years. Alternatively, you may abstain from casting a vote.

------

Our Board has determined that an advisory vote on executive compensation that occurs annually is the most appropriate alternative for the Company, and therefore our Board recommends that you vote for a one-year interval for the advisory vote on executive compensation. In formulating its recommendation, our Board considered that an annual advisory vote on executive compensation will allow our shareholders to provide us with their direct input on our compensation philosophy, policies and practices as disclosed in the proxy statement every year.

This advisory vote is not binding on the Board. The Board acknowledges that there are a number of points of view regarding the relative benefits of annual and less frequent say-on-pay votes.

**THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE OPTION OF ONCE EVERY YEAR AS THE FREQUENCY WITH WHICH SHAREHOLDERS ARE PROVIDED AN ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION, AS DISCLOSED PURSUANT TO THE COMPENSATION DISCLOSURE RULES OF THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.**

**COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS**

**Annual "Say-on-Pay" Vote**

In 2017, our Board of Directors adopted a policy of providing for an annual "Say-on-Pay" vote, a resolution approving the compensation of our named executive officers, which was approved by our shareholders. Our Board of Directors believes that allowing our shareholders to vote on our executive compensation practices on an annual basis aligns with market best practices and provides our shareholders with an important opportunity to provide meaningful feedback to us. A vote on the frequency of future "say-on-pay" votes (commonly known as a "say on frequency" vote) is required every six years. Accordingly, we are asking our shareholders to cast a non-binding "say on frequency" vote at the Meeting. See "*Proposal Thirteen — Advisory Vote on Frequency of Executive Compensation Advisory Votes*".

The Board and the Compensation Committee intends to continue actively evaluating our compensation policies and practices and to consider shareholder feedback and the results of our "Say-on-Pay" votes when making future compensation decisions for our NEOs.

**Named Executive Officers**

For 2022, our named executive officers, or NEOs, and their respective titles as of December 31, 2022 were as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Simon Burton**, Chief Executive Officer;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Neil Greenspan**, Chief Financial Officer;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Patrick O'Brien**, Chief Executive Officer, GRIL;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Faramarz Romer**, Chief Accounting Officer and Treasurer; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Thomas Curnock**, Chief Risk Officer.

------

Mr. Burton was a named executive officer for 2022 based on his position as our Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Greenspan was a named executive officer for 2022 based on his position as our Chief Financial Officer. Messrs. O'Brien, Romer, and Curnock were named executive officers for 2022 by reason of being three of the Company's most highly compensated executive officers other than persons serving as the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, who were serving as executive officers as of December 31, 2022. On March 7, 2023, the Company announced that Mr. Romer will be appointed Chief Financial Officer, effective as of April 1, 2023. Mr. Romer will succeed Mr. Greenspan who is leaving the Company on March 31, 2023. For more details see "*Actions taken in 2023*."

**Compensation Policy**

In general, we seek to pay salaries that are commensurate with the salaries paid to executives at other reinsurance companies. However, as we are the first open market property and casualty reinsurer operating in the Cayman Islands, no direct comparisons can be made.

Our performance-driven compensation policy consists of the following three main components:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• base salary;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• bonuses; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• equity-based compensation.

We generally use short-term compensation composed of base salary and annual cash bonuses and long-term compensation comprised of restricted share units, and/or restricted shares, as applicable, in an effort to align our employees' and executive officers' interests with those of our shareholders and increase long-term growth in book value per share. In addition, from time to time and under certain circumstances, we award sign-on bonuses, retention bonuses and other bonuses and/or bonus opportunities.

Our Compensation Committee reviews and approves all recommendations made with respect to bonuses, restricted share units, and restricted shares, as applicable, for all of our employees, including our NEOs. Additionally, the Compensation Committee reviews and approves all discretionary, sign-on, retention and other bonuses, if any, of our NEOs. Each year, our Chief Executive Officer provides information and recommendations to the Compensation Committee with respect to individual performance to assist the Compensation Committee with its analysis and evaluation of each employee's compensation, including the NEOs.

Our Chief Executive Officer does not make recommendations regarding his own compensation. Accordingly, the Compensation Committee considers the performance of our Chief Executive Officer and determines and approves the amount of any discretionary retention and/or other bonus that he receives. While the Compensation Committee considers the recommendations of our Chief Executive Officer, it is not bound by his recommendations. While the Compensation Committee is generally familiar with the compensation of similarly situated individuals and does consider this information when making compensation decisions, given the nature of our business and compensation, the Compensation Committee historically did not feel it was necessary to utilize the services of a compensation consultant or to do any formal benchmarking.

As previously disclosed, in September 2020, the Company retained Mercer to provide support related to all matters typically handled by the Compensation Committee, including related to compensation strategy and incentive plan design. The work conducted by Mercer included, among other things, peer group development, executive compensation benchmarking analysis, and incentive compensation program design. The Compensation Committee obtains legal advice regarding executive compensation matters from its independent outside legal counsel. The Compensation Committee has considered whether the work of Mercer as a compensation consultant has raised any potential conflicts of interest, taking into account the following factors: (i) the amount of fees paid by us to Mercer as a percentage of that firm's total revenue; (ii) the provision of other services to us by Mercer; (iii) Mercer's policies and procedures that are designed to prevent conflicts of interest; (iv) any business or personal relationship of the individual compensation advisors with any of our executive officers; (v) any business or personal relationship of the individual compensation advisors with any member of the Compensation Committee and (vi) any ownership of our stock by Mercer or the individual compensation advisors. Based on the above factors, the Compensation Committee has concluded that the work of Mercer, including the work performed by the individual compensation advisors employed by Mercer, has not created any conflict of interest.

**Role of the Compensation Consultant/Peer Group**

Mercer was engaged by the Company to develop a set of peer group companies for use as a point of comparison in assessing the competitiveness of 2022 compensation for certain executive officers. Since, 2022, data compiled from this peer group, as well as from reliable compensation survey databases, has been used as a baseline reference by the Compensation Committee to assist it in establishing and assessing target total compensation levels, as well as target compensation levels for individual components of compensation for our executive officers. When making compensation decisions, we also look at the

------

compensation of our NEOs relative to the compensation paid to similarly-situated executives at companies that we consider to be our peers, which is referred to as "benchmarking." However, we believe that a benchmark serves as a point of reference, but is not a determinative factor, for our executives' compensation. Such comparative information is just one of the factors considered in setting executive compensation and the Compensation Committee has the discretion to consider the nature and extent of its use.

The peer group used to assist in making the compensation decisions for 2022, which we refer to as our 2022 peer group, was selected primarily based on the peer companies' similarities to us as of the time the survey was performed, based on factors such as revenue and other financials, such as asset size, book value, EBITDA and market capitalization, and industry.

The 2022 peer group was comprised of the following companies:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| • Everest Re Group, Ltd.<br>• RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd.<br>• W.R. Berkley Corporation<br>• Axis Capital Holdings Limited<br>• SiriusPoint Ltd.<br>• Proassurance Corporation<br>• James River Group Holdings, Ltd.<br>• Protective Insurance Corporation<br>• HCI Group Inc. | • Alleghany Corporation<br>• Assured Guaranty Ltd.<br>• Enstar Group Limited<br>• Argo Group International Holdings, Ltd.<br>• Lancashire Holdings Limited<br>• Employers Holdings, Inc.<br>• Global Indemnity Group, LLC<br>• Prosight Global, Inc.<br>• Heritage Insurance Holdings, Inc. |

---

We are positioned marginally below the peer group's 25<sup>th</sup> percentile relative to book value based on the fact that many of our market comparators are larger.

The Compensation Committee strives to target total pay at levels that are within reasonable range of market based on various criteria, including, but not limited to, experience, time in role, performance, and scope of responsibility in comparison to benchmarks.

**Base Salary**

We use base salary to recognize the experience, skills, knowledge, roles and responsibilities of our employees and executive officers. When establishing the base salaries of our NEOs, our Compensation Committee considers a number of factors, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the individual's years of experience;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the functional role of the individual's position;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the level of the individual's responsibility;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to replace the individual; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• to the extent applicable, the limited number of well-qualified candidates available in or willing to relocate to the Cayman Islands.

Base salaries are reviewed and considered by the Compensation Committee on an annual basis or as otherwise deemed appropriate by the Compensation Committee. Mr. Burton's base salary was increased pursuant to the 2022 Burton Employment Agreement and based on the Compensation Committee's review, Mr. Romer's base salary was also increased. The Compensation Committee did not change the base salaries of Messrs . Greenspan, O'Brien, Curnock for 2022. For more detail on the 2022 Burton Employment Agreement see "Employment Agreements" below.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The annual base salaries for NEOs as of December 31, 2022, including their percentage increase over their salaries in effect on December 31, 2021 were as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Name** | **2022 Base Salary ($)** | **2021 Base Salary ($)** | **% Increase** |
| Simon Burton | 800000 | 725000 | 10.3% |
| Neil Greenspan | 500000 | 500000 | 0% |
| Patrick O'Brien<sup>(1)</sup> | 393750 | 393750 | 0% |
| Faramarz Romer | 367500 | 350000 | 5% |
| Tom Curnock | 420000 | 420000 | 0% |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(1)</sup> Because he is based in Ireland, Mr. O'Brien's cash compensation is generally paid to him in Euros rather than United States dollars. Amounts reported as "2022 Base Salary" and "2021 Base Salary" are based on an average conversion rate for 2022, which was $1.05 United States dollars for each Euro.

**Bonuses**

*Short Term Incentive Plan*

We use bonuses to reward individual and company performance. We expect our bonuses to be variable from year to year. Our Compensation Committee determines each NEO's target bonus, expressed as a percentage of base salary. The target bonuses of the NEOs were set by the Compensation Committee based on the scope and significance of each NEO's role, with the CEO receiving the highest target due to his greater responsibilities.

In 2021, following Mercer's review of our compensation practices, the Compensation Committee recommended to our Board, and the Board approved, a new annual bonus program, which we refer to as the Short Term Incentive Plan, which will be administered by the Compensation Committee. No incentive cycles prior to 2021 under our previously-disclosed bonus program are impacted other than as previously disclosed. The Short Term Incentive Plan replaces the prior bonus program, which we refer to as the Prior Bonus Program, with a more market-based short-term incentive plan. The guiding principles related to our new short term incentive plan were to make the plan easy to understand, transparent and reward controllable results, reward management decisions that would support long-term growth and profitability, and promote retention through real near-term earnings potential.

Eligible employees, which includes all of our and our subsidiaries' full-time salaried employees, who become participants in the Short Term Incentive Plan for a specific plan year will be eligible to receive a target bonus opportunity expressed as a percentage of base salary. Actual participation in the Short Term Incentive Plan will be determined with respect to each plan year and will be based on the recommendations of our Chief Executive Officer, or the CEO, and will be subject to the discretion of the Compensation Committee. All of the NEOs were eligible to participate in the Short Term Incentive Plan for the 2021 plan year. Target bonus opportunities will vary by individual participant and may vary among employees in the same salary grade level or same internal reporting relationship.

Awards under the Short Term Incentive Plan may be earned based upon achievement of certain performance metrics, financial or otherwise, as determined by the Compensation Committee. The aggregate target bonus opportunity may be broken down into two parts: (1) the company performance target bonus and/or (2) the individual performance target bonus. The weightings of each metric, to the extent applicable, which may vary by participant, are recommended by the CEO (other than with respect to the CEO whose weightings are determined by the Compensation Committee) and determined by the Compensation Committee. The metrics and the associated weightings may be changed from plan year to plan year.

The Compensation Committee will select one or more of the following as the company performance criteria related to the company performance target bonus for each plan year: (1) adjusted operating profit; (2) growth in book value per share; (3) total shareholder return; (4) underwriting loss ratio; (5) underwriting combined ratio; (6) expense ratio; (7) net income; or (8) any other performance criteria that the Compensation Committee may select in its discretion. Each selected company performance criteria will be assigned a threshold, target and maximum level of achievement as determined by the Compensation Committee in is sole discretion. The company performance criteria and requisite level of performance corresponding to threshold and maximum levels of performance (including the corresponding percentage of the company performance target bonus that can be earned) may be changed from plan year to plan year, but in no event may the maximum level of performance result in a payment in excess of 200% of the company performance target bonus.

Performance and bonus achievement are measured following the end of the single year performance period and bonuses are generally paid in cash following the Board's approval of audited fiscal year results and the determination by the CEO or the Compensation Committee, as applicable, of individual performance levels, but in no event later than March 15 of

------

the year following the year to which the bonus relates, subject generally to continued employment through the last day of the performance period (and not having given or received notice of termination); provided, however, that if a participant's employment terminates due to death or disability prior to the last day of the performance period, the participant will be entitled to a pro-rata bonus based on actual performance for the year in which the termination occurs, subject to compliance with the terms of the participant's employment agreement or offer letter, as applicable. If a participant commences participation in the Short Term Incentive Plan after the first day of the applicable plan year, any such bonus payable in respect of such plan year will be pro-rated based on the portion of the year employed.

All payments under the Short Term Incentive Plan may (or, to the extent required by law or listing standards of any securities exchange on which our securities are listed, will) be subject to recoupment, cancellation, reduction or forfeiture (1) in accordance with any clawback or similar policy adopted by the Board or the Compensation Committee, (2) in accordance with any clawback or similar policy that we are required to adopt pursuant to any applicable listing standards or applicable law or (3) in the event of fraud or any financial restatements or irregularities.

*2022 Short-Term Incentive Plan Awards*

For 2022, the target annual bonus opportunity, expressed as a percentage of annual base salary, for the NEOs were as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Name** | **2022 Target Bonus Opportunity (% of Base Salary)** |
| Simon Burton | 100% |
| Neil Greenspan | 50% |
| Patrick O'Brien | 60% |
| Faramarz Romer | 50% |
| Tom Curnock | 50% |

---

In respect of 2022, the Compensation Committee determined that awards under the Short Term Incentive Plan would be based upon achievement of company performance and individual performance. The weightings between company and individual performance for the annual incentive compensation opportunities vary among our named executive officers. For 2022, the weightings of the NEOs were set by the Compensation Committee based on the scope of each NEO's role, as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Name** | **Company Performance** | **Individual Performance** |
| Simon Burton | 75% | 25% |
| Neil Greenspan | 75% | 25% |
| Patrick O'Brien | 75% | 25% |
| Faramarz Romer | 40% | 60% |
| Tom Curnock | 75% | 25% |

---

In respect of 2022, the Compensation Committee determined that company performance would be measured based upon achievement of adjusted operating profit, or 2022 AOP Metric, as this metric reflects management's contribution to long term profitability and operational efficiency. With respect to the 2022 fiscal year, the AOP Metric means the sum of (i) the 2022 underwriting income and (ii) the 2022 strategic investments income (net of tax), less (iii) 2022 corporate innovations-related expense, as a percentage of book value measured as of January 1, 2022.

Under the Short Term Incentive Plan, participants will be eligible to receive a bonus related to the company performance criteria, to the extent applicable, if we achieve at least the threshold level of performance for the applicable performance period. If the threshold level of performance related to the 2022 AOP Metric was not attained, no portion of the award allocated to that metric would have been earned, and if the maximum level of performance related to the 2022 AOP Metric was attained, participants would have been eligible to receive 200% of the target award related to such metric. In 2022, the actual 2022 AOP Metric was (0.8%), which resulted in no payout. Adjusted operating profit is a non-GAAP financial measure. Please refer to Annex 1 for definition of non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures.

------

---

| | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Performance Measure** | **Threshold (50%)** | **Target (100%)** | **Maximum (200%)** | **Actual** | **Payout** |
| 2022 AOP | 3.0% | 6.8% | 12.0% | (0.8)% | —% |

---

Linear interpolation is used to calibrate payouts between the threshold, target and maximum levels.

The individual performance metric ranges from 0% of the target award related to that metric to 100% of the target award related to that metric. The Compensation Committee determines the percentage of the individual performance target bonus, if any, that each named executive officer is eligible to earn. In determining the individual performance payout percentages for each of our named executive officers, the Compensation Committee considers, among other things, the contributions by each individual based upon his or her area of responsibility to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The transformation, diversification and performance of our underwriting platform and long-term growth strategy;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The strength and improvement of our A.M. Best financial ratings and maintenance of regulatory compliance; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The judicious deployment of capital that is not contractually allocated to our alternative investment strategy.

The Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, may consider subjective criteria relating to performance and accomplishments on an individual and comparative basis. These criteria include, but are not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The strength and development of each individual's contributions to our strategic partnership and our client, broker, shareholder and other stakeholder relationships;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The quality and professionalism of the individual in support for the work for the Board, the management team and our employees, including individual contributions to team development, engagement and motivation and succession planning; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company's desire to retain the executive and align his or her interest with those of our shareholders.

In connection with its review of 2022 individual performance, the Compensation Committee approved individual performance for the NEOs as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Name** | **Actual** |
| Simon Burton | 100% |
| Neil Greenspan | 100% |
| Patrick O'Brien | 100% |
| Faramarz Romer | 100% |
| Tom Curnock | 100% |

---

Incentive compensation earned under the Short Term Incentive Plan for the 2022 fiscal year was paid in March 2023, and for each applicable NEO disclosed in the "Non-equity Incentive Plan Compensation" column for such year in the Summary Compensation Table below.

*Prior Bonus Program*

In March 2023, the Compensation Committee approved the updated calculations for the quantitative bonus pool with respect to the 2017 underwriting year with respect to the Prior Bonus Program based on performance through December 31, 2022 and declared the 2017 year closed. For the 2017 underwriting year, the updated calculations reflect below-threshold performance and, as such, no quantitative bonus will be awarded. The only underwriting years that remain open under the Prior Bonus Program are 2018 and 2019.

**Sign-On Bonuses**

From time to time, the Compensation Committee may award sign-on bonuses in connection with the commencement of an NEO's employment with us. Sign-on bonuses are used only when necessary to attract highly skilled officers to the Company. Generally they are used to incentivize candidates to leave their current employers or may be used to offset the loss of unvested compensation or future income that they may forfeit as a result of leaving their current employer or business.

**Retention Bonuses**

------

From time to time, the Compensation Committee, based upon a review of competitive conditions and/or the role and skill set of the individual, may approve retention arrangements for certain NEOs and other senior executives.

**Other Bonuses**

From time to time, the Compensation Committee may award other bonus opportunities and/or adopt additional bonus plans in order to incentivize employees and foster and support the success of the Company.

**Stock Incentive Plan Awards**

In 2004, we adopted a stock incentive plan, or the 2004 stock incentive plan, which was amended and restated effective as of August 15, 2005, February 14, 2007, May 4, 2007, April 28, 2010, April 26, 2017 and October 29, 2020.

Our Compensation Committee has decided that, with certain exceptions noted above, restricted shares or restricted share units, as applicable, generally are the preferred form of equity compensation as the Compensation Committee believes that restricted shares or restricted share units, as applicable, better align management with long-term shareholder value creation. Our Compensation Committee determines the value of restricted share or restricted share unit grants for certain of our NEO after taking into account, among other things, our desire to retain the executive and the executive's role within the Company. Those executives who are most critical to our future growth generally receive larger awards. Currently, we expect long-term compensation (i.e., 2004 stock incentive plan awards), to continue to represent the majority of each NEO's compensation.

In order to prevent the backdating of equity awards and to ensure that the timing of awards or the release of material information will not be accelerated or delayed to allow an award recipient to benefit from a more favorable stock price, on February 27, 2008, our Board of Directors and Compensation Committee adopted a policy with respect to our equity grant practices that delineates specific procedures that must be followed when granting equity awards. We believe this policy helps the integrity of our equity award grant practices.

Our current practice is to grant equity awards in March of each fiscal year.

In February 2022, our Compensation Committee approved and, on March 15, 2022, we granted awards of 391,789 Class A ordinary restricted shares to Mr. Burton, 85,704 Class A ordinary restricted shares to Mr. Greenspan, 84,922 Class A ordinary restricted share units to Mr. O'Brien, 58,504 Class A ordinary restricted shares to Mr. Romer, and 71,991 Class A ordinary restricted shares to Mr. Curnock under our 2004 stock incentive plan. Each of Messrs. Burton, Greenspan, O'Brien and Curnock's 2022 awards under the 2004 stock incentive plan consist of a mix of performance-vesting restricted stock or restricted stock units (67%), as applicable, and time-vesting restricted stock or restricted stock units (33%), as applicable. Mr. Romer's 2022 award under the 2004 incentive plan consists of a mix of performance restricted stock (33%) and time-vesting restricted stock (67%).

Time-based awards will vest ratably over a three-year period, generally subject to continued employment through and including each vesting date. Performance-vesting awards will cliff vest, if at all, based on the actual level of achievement against the performance metrics following the end of the three year performance period, generally subject to continued employment through and including the last day of the three year performance period. Performance will be determined by the Board or the Compensation Committee after the completion of the three year performance period pursuant to the terms of the award.

The performance-vesting awards granted in 2022 will be earned, if at all, based on performance against the following metrics: fully diluted book value per share growth (65% weight) and combined ratio (35% weight). Performance metrics and weightings may change from year to year for future awards and the Board and the Compensation Committee reserve the right to modify the metrics and performance measurement based on changes in accounting rules/regulations, and unforeseen event and circumstances. The performance-vesting awards granted in 2022 vest as follows based on achievement of the weighted performance metrics: below threshold, 0% vesting; threshold, 25% vesting; target 50% vesting; and maximum 100% vesting. Linear interpolation is used to calibrate payouts between threshold, target and maximum award levels. With respect to each performance metric, the Compensation Committee determined that 22.5% fully diluted book value per share growth and 97% average combined ration were the appropriate challenging targets for payout at target for the 2022-2024 (inclusive) performance cycle. Combined ratio of more than 99% would result in no payout, 99% would result in 25% payout and 94% or less would result in 100% payout with respect to the combined ratio performance metric. Fully diluted book value per share growth of less than 12.5% would result in no payout, 12.5% would result in 25% payout, and 40.5% would result in 100% payout with respect to the fully diluted book value per share growth performance metric.

These stock awards reflect our Compensation Committee's desire to retain these executives and align their interests with those of our shareholders.

**Retirement Benefits**

As with every employer in the Cayman Islands, we are required by the National Pensions Law to provide a pension plan for our employees in the Cayman Islands. We belong to the Coralisle Pension Services Ltd. Pension Plan, which is administered by British Caymanian Insurance Agencies Ltd. Under the Cayman Islands National Pensions Law, all employees between the ages of 18 and 60 must contribute a minimum of 5% of their earnings to a pension plan. An employee also has the option of contributing more than the prescribed minimum. We are required to match the contribution of the first 5% of each participating employee's salary to a maximum salary amount of $106,098. The Company currently pays both the employee and employer portions of the plan. The pension plan is a defined contribution plan and, as such, the amount that an employee receives upon retirement is directly related to the amount contributed to the plan by, or on behalf of, the employee while working. Once an employee retires (employees become eligible for retirement at age 60 in the Cayman Islands), an employee has the following options for receiving benefits: (i) receive a cash payout if the employee's retirement savings are less than $6,098; (ii) transfer the retirement savings to a life annuity for investment by a life insurance company and payment of a regular income stream to the employee for the remainder of the employee's life (and the employee's spouse's life if the employee is married at the time of retirement); or (iii) transfer the retirement savings to a Retirement Savings Arrangement account with an approved provider or bank and receive regular income payments until the account is depleted. Each of Messrs. Burton, Greenspan, Romer and Curnock were eligible to participate in the Coralisle Pension Services Ltd. Pension Plan in 2022.

GRIL established a defined contribution Retirement Solutions plan with Irish Life. In August 2022 GRIL commenced participation in the Irish Life Empower Master Trust with all funds in the Retirement Solution plan being transferred to the Irish Life Empower Master Trust which is a defined contribution retirement benefits scheme operated by Irish Life. All employees of GRIL are eligible to participate in the GRIL section of the master trust, which has been approved by the Irish Revenue Commissioners. GRIL generally makes a contribution to the master trust for all GRIL employees, with the contribution dependent upon the contractual commitment in each employee's employment contract. Currently, contributions vary from 7.5% of base salary to 20% of base salary. Employees may also make personal contributions to the master trust in accordance with Revenue Commissioner limits which are linked to the age of the employee. The master trust is established under an irrevocable trust, with Law Debenture Master Trust Trustees (Ireland) Designated Activity Company acting as trustee. On May 27, 2020, the GRIL Board approved the replacement of Mr. O'Brien's pension contribution to the Retirement Solutions plan with Irish Life with a pension allowance, which pension allowance will not result in additional consideration to be paid by GRIL.

**Welfare Benefits/Perquisites**

We offer certain limited welfare benefits and perquisites to our executives, including tax preparation and medical insurance. We intend to continue to maintain our current welfare benefits and perquisites for our executive officers. However, our Compensation Committee may revise, amend or add to these benefit programs at its discretion.

**Tax and Accounting Implications**

The Compensation Committee considers the income tax consequences of individual compensation elements when analyzing the overall compensation paid to our NEOs. Because we are not a U.S. taxpayer, our compensation program has not been designed to comply with U.S. Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m). However, with respect to our U.S. taxpayer employees, including certain of our NEOs, we design our compensation arrangements taking into account U.S. Internal Revenue Code Sections 409A and 457A.

We are accounting for stock-based payments in accordance with and to the extent required by FASB ASC Topic 718.

**Risk Assessment**

The Compensation Committee and management have reviewed our compensation policies as generally applicable to our employees and believe that our policies do not encourage excessive and unnecessary risk-taking, and that the level of risk that they do encourage is not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us.

Our compensation philosophy and culture support the use of salary, short-term incentive cash awards and long-term incentive equity throughout our organization and with all levels of employees. In addition, the following specific factors, in particular, reduce the likelihood of excessive risk-taking:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.Our overall compensation levels are competitive with the market; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.Our compensation mix is balanced among (i) fixed components such as salary and benefits, (ii) short-term incentive cash awards and (iii) long-term incentive equity that reward our employees based on long-term overall Company financial performance and operational measures.

------

We believe our historical compensation programs did not, and our current compensations programs do not, encourage excessive and unnecessary risk taking by NEOs (or other employees) because of its focus on the Company's performance with only some consideration given to individual performance. The Compensation Committee will continue to monitor the compensation program to discourage excessive and unnecessary risk-taking.

Additionally, the Compensation Committee manages risk by establishing equity ownership guidelines, prohibiting hedging our stock or using it as collateral for any purpose, and implementing clawback policies.

**Hedging and Pledging Policies**

The Company has adopted policies related to the prohibition of hedging and pledging transactions. For more details on these policies, see "*Corporate Governance and Board of Directors and Committees — Hedging and Pledging Policies.*"

**Clawback Policies** 

In March 2023, the Company adopted a clawback policy, or the Clawback Policy, with respect to incentive compensation paid to our current and former executive officers, and such other senior executives who may from time to time be deemed subject to the policy by the Compensation Committee or the Board. We have also implemented clawbacks in connection with our short-term incentive compensation awards and commencing 2022, our restricted stock agreements and restricted stock unit agreements, as applicable, also now include clawback and recoupment provisions. See "*Corporate Governance and Board of Directors and Committees — Clawback Policies*."

**Ordinary Share Ownership Guidelines**

We believe that broad-based share ownership by our employees, including our NEOs, is the most effective method to deliver superior shareholder returns by increasing the alignment between the interests of our employees and our shareholders. In July 2021, in connection with a review of our corporate governance practices following our most recent "say on pay" vote and based on input from Mercer in connection with its review of our compensation practices, our Board of Directors adopted the Greenlight Capital Re, Ltd. Share Ownership and Retention Policy for Executives and Non-Employee Directors, effective July 29, 2021, or the Share Ownership Guidelines. The Share Ownership Guidelines require that all named executive officers and non-employee directors own a significant ownership interest in our ordinary shares, subject to a phase-in period, in order to align their interest with those of our shareholders and in furtherance of the Board of Directors' intention to follow sound corporate governance practices.

The Share Ownership Guidelines include the following minimum share ownership requirements for our named executive officers and non-employee directors:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Position** | **Multiple** |
| Chief Executive Officer | 5x annual base salary |
| All Other Named Executive Officers | 2x annual base salary |
| Non-Employee Directors | 5x annual cash retainer |

---

For purposes of the Share Ownership Guidelines, ownership will include: our class A or class B ordinary shares owned through a wholly-owned entity, individually and/or by immediate family members residing in the same household, in each case, that are not hedged, pledged or otherwise encumbered, and restricted shares/share units not yet vested that vest based solely on time/service. Ownership does not include unexercised stock options (whether vested or unvested), unexercised share appreciation rights (whether vested or unvested), performance shares/share units, and/or any equity-based awards that may be settled in cash.

The value of our class A or class B ordinary shares owned by each named executive officer and non-employee director will be calculated on an annual basis on each December 31 based upon the Nasdaq Global Select Market's average closing price for our class A ordinary shares for the immediately preceding six month period.

Named executive officers and non-employee directors as of July 29, 2021, or the initial effective date of the Share Ownership Guidelines, have until, July 29, 2026, or five years from the initial effective date of the Share Ownership Guidelines, to achieve the foregoing share ownership requirements. Persons who become named executive officers or non-employee

------

directors after July 29, 2021, will have up to five years from the date of his or her hire/election/appointment, as applicable, to achieve the foregoing share ownership requirements. If any named executive officer is not in compliance with the Share Ownership Guidelines within the applicable five year period, then 50% of any short-term incentive plan award for a given year will be paid in class A ordinary shares until such time as compliance is achieved. If any non-employee director is not in compliance with the Share Ownership Guidelines within the applicable five year period, then the annual cash retainer will be paid in class A ordinary shares until such time as compliance is achieved.

As of March 30, 2023, all directors and NEOs are in compliance with our Share Ownership Guidelines, subject to transition periods.

See "*Principal Shareholders*" below for each director's and NEO's shareholding.

**Change in Control and Severance**

Upon termination of employment or a change in control, in addition to certain bonuses referenced above, our NEOs may receive accelerated vesting of awards granted under our 2004 stock incentive plan and severance payments under their employment agreements.

Under our 2004 stock incentive plan, our Compensation Committee generally has the discretion to vest unvested awards upon a change in control as described below under "Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control - The Stock Incentive Plan and Awards Granted Thereunder." This discretion allows the Compensation Committee to determine at the time of the change in control whether, and the extent to which, additional vesting is warranted. Mr. Burton's 's 2022 Burton Employment Agreement provides that upon a termination of employment under certain circumstances, any outstanding unvested time-based equity awards, if any, shall fully vest and any outstanding performance-based equity awards, if any, shall remain outstanding and eligible to vest in accordance with the applicable performance criteria. For more details on these termination provisions, see "*Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control*."

Upon termination of employment without cause or for good reason (or, with respect to Mr. O'Brien, in the event prior notice (or pay in lieu of notice) is required by GRIL and other than in the case of death), our NEOs are eligible for severance payments. For more details on these payments, see "*Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control — Employment Agreements*."

The amount of our severance obligations to our NEOs is designed to be competitive with the amounts payable to executives in similar positions at other global reinsurance companies with which we compete for talent. Severance payments are generally made in substantially equal monthly installments and are generally contingent upon the NEO's continued compliance with the restrictive covenants in his or her employment agreement.

**Actions Taken in 2023**

*Base Salaries* 

In March 2023, our Compensation Committee reviewed the annual base salaries of the NEOs and increased Messrs. O'Brien and Curnock's base salaries from €375,000 to €405,000 and $420,00 to $450,000, respectively. Mr. Romer's base salary was increased pursuant to the 2023 Romer Employment Agreement as described below. The Compensation Committee did not make any adjustments to the annual base salaries for Messrs. Burton or Greenspan.

*2004 Stock Incentive Plan Awards*

In March 2023, under our 2004 stock incentive plan, our Compensation Committee approved and, on March 15, 2023, we granted the following Class A ordinary restricted shares or restricted share units, as applicable, to the NEOs.

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **# of Restricted Shares or Restricted Share Units** | **# of Restricted Shares or Restricted Share Units** |
|<br>**Name** | **Target** <sup>(1)</sup> | **Maximum** <sup>(2)</sup> |
| Simon Burton | 162437 | 271269 |
| Neil Greenspan |  |  |
| Patrick O'Brien | 28524 | 47634 |
| Faramarz Romer | 24873 | 33081 |
| Tom Curnock | 29848 | 49846 |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(1)</sup> Represents the achievement of the performance conditions at the target level of performance conditions.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(2)</sup> Represents the achievement of the performance conditions at the highest level of performance conditions.

Mr. Greenspan was not granted an equity award in 2023 given his impending departure. The stock awards for Messrs. Burton, O'Brien, Romer and Curnock reflect our desire to retain these executives and align their interests with those of our shareholders. The terms and conditions of each of Messrs. Burton, O'Brien, Romer and Curnock's 2023 awards under our 2004 stock incentive plan are consistent with the terms and conditions of their applicable 2022 time-based and performance based awards.

*2023 Romer Employment Agreement* 

As previously disclosed, on March 6, 2023, the Company, Greenlight Re and Mr. Romer entered into an Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, effective as of April 1, 2023, or the 2023 Romer Employment Agreement, to reflect Mr. Romer's new role in connection with his appointment as Chief Financial Officer, to be effective April 1, 2023. Pursuant to the 2023 Romer Employment Agreement, Mr. Romer's (i) base salary was increased from $367,500 to $465,000, and (ii) severance package, which provides for severance in connection with a termination of employment without cause or for good reason, was enhanced.

As previously disclosed, on March 6, 2023, the Company, Greenlight Re, and Mr. Greenspan executed a Deed of Settlement and Release, or the Separation Agreement, effective as of March 31, 2023, or the Separation Date. The Separation Agreement provides that in connection with Mr. Greenspan's termination of employment by the Company without cause, Mr. Greenspan will receive benefits, in addition to accrued benefits (including unused vacation) consisting of (i) a cash severance amount equal to $811,644, of which $61,644 is payable within two and one half months of the Separation Date, and $750,000 is payable over twelve months in substantially equal installments commencing on the sixtieth day after the Separation Date, (ii) payment equivalent to statutory severance in the amount of $38,462, payable within two and one half months of the Separation Date, and (iii) payment of $95,000 for relocation expenses, payable within fifteen days following the Separation Date. As consideration for the foregoing, Mr. Greenspan has agreed to a general release of all claims against the Company and Greenlight Re and their affiliates. The Separation Agreement confirms that certain provisions contained in Mr. Greenspan's employment agreement with the Company and Greenlight Re, dated December 3, 2018, as amended, including confidentiality, non-competition, certain restrictions relating to the disclosure of proprietary information, and ownership of the Company and Greenlight Re work product, shall remain in full force and effect and also contains customary terms applicable to the departure of an executive.

In addition, the Company, Greenlight Re, and Mr. Greenspan entered into a consulting agreement, dated March 6, 2023, or the Consulting Agreement, pursuant to which Mr. Greenspan will provide non-employee consulting and advisory services to the Company and Greenlight Re on a non-exclusive basis, from April 1, 2023 until July 31, 2023. The Consulting Agreement provides that in consideration of the services to be provided, Mr. Greenspan will receive consulting fees of $25,000 per month. Either party may terminate the Consulting Agreement for any reason upon 45 days' written notice and the Company and Greenlight Re may terminate the Consulting Agreement without notice at any time for cause.

**Compensation Committee Report**

In March 2023, our Compensation Committee reviewed and discussed the compensation discussion and analysis required by Regulation S-K, Item 402(b) promulgated under the Exchange Act, with management. Based on the review and discussions referred to in the preceding sentence, our Compensation Committee recommended to our Board of Directors that this compensation discussion and analysis disclosure be included in this Proxy Statement.

The foregoing report is provided by the following directors, who constitute the Compensation Committee:

The Compensation Committee

Ursuline Foley (Chair)

Ian Isaacs

Joseph Platt

*The foregoing Compensation Committee Report (this "Report") shall not be incorporated by reference in any previous or future documents filed by the Company with the SEC under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except to the extent that the Company specifically incorporates the Report by reference in any filed document.*

**Compensation Risk Assessment**

Our Compensation Committee, together with management, conducted a risk assessment of our compensation programs. Our Compensation Committee concluded that our compensation programs are designed with the appropriate balance of risk and reward in relation to our overall business strategy and thus discourage excessive risk-taking. Our Compensation Committee therefore determined that the risks arising from our compensation policies and practices for employees are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our company. The Company's current compensation structure contains various features that mitigate risks. For example:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We have an entrepreneurial culture which encourages employees to think like owners;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We offer a balance of compensation elements with the majority of compensation related to long-term performance;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We set reasonable bonus targets for executives and employees and require that certain performance metrics are achieved before bonuses will be paid;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our Compensation Committee has the discretion to make adjustments to the quantitative bonus pool under the Prior Bonus Plan due to significant deficiencies; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• All of the equity awards granted to employees under the Company's 2004 stock incentive plan are generally subject to multi-year time vesting, which requires an employee to commit to a longer period of employment for such awards to be valuable.

We will continue to evaluate our compensation programs with respect to risk going forward and will consider changes necessary to prevent incentives to take excessive risk.

<sup>(1)</sup> As noted above, Mr. Burton's base salary was increased from $725,000 to $800,000 with effect from January 1, 2022.

<sup>(2)</sup> The amounts shown in this column for 2021 represent the retention bonus paid to the NEOs on July 1, 2021.

<sup>(3)</sup> All stock awards were granted under our 2004 stock incentive plan. The value reported above in the "Stock Awards" column is the aggregate grant date fair value for each NEO's award determined in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, "Compensation—Stock Compensation." Assumptions used in the calculation of these amounts are included in Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. The grant date fair value for Mr. Burton's restricted share award in 2020 was computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 based upon the probable outcome that the performance conditions were not expected to be met as of the grant date. Assuming the highest level of performance achievement as of the grant date, the aggregate grant date value of the award would have been $975,000. On July 30, 2020, we accelerated the vesting, which we refer to as the Acceleration, of part of this award. As a result of the Acceleration, 72,545 Class A ordinary shares vested on July 30, 2020. The remainder of the award is still subject to performance-based vesting criteria. The value reported above includes the incremental fair value of the award, computed as of July 30, 2020, in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. The values reported for Messrs. Burton, Greenspan, O'Brien, Romer and Curnock represent restricted share or restricted share unit awards, as applicable. The 2020 and 2021 restricted shares and restricted share units for each of the NEOs (excluding Mr. Burton's 2020 restricted share award), vest on the third anniversary of the grant date generally subject to the NEO's continued employment on such date. The 2022 restricted shares and restricted share units are discussed under "*Stock Incentive Plan Awards*" above. For the stock awards granted in 2022, the values represent the achievement of the performance conditions at the target level of performance conditions. Assuming the highest level of performance achievement as of the grant date, the aggregate grant date value of the awards for Messrs. Burton, Greenspan, O'Brien, Romer and Curnock would have been $2,672,000, $584,500, $579,171, $399,000, $490,980, respectively. As a result, they do not necessarily represent the actual value that the recipient will receive from the award.

------

<sup>(4)</sup> For the 2022 year, the value reported above in the "Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation" column is the amount paid to the applicable NEOs in March 2023 and relates to the bonus in respect of the 2022 plan year. The amount in 2021 with respect to Mr. Curnock, included the final installment of the 2016 underwriting year in the amount of $5,777. For the 2020 year, the value reported above in the "Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation" column is the amount that our Compensation Committee determined that bonuses in respect of this underwriting year should be paid out at (i.e., 45% of the target amount (for any individual whose base salary was increased during 2020 (other than effective as of January 1, 2020)), such target bonus is based on a weighted-average basis of the old base salary and the increased base salary) and such amount was paid in March 2021, subject to the participant agreeing to forego any future bonus payments connection with the 2020 underwriting year. Such 45%-of-target payout represented our estimate of the amount of the quantitative portion of the bonus that would have been paid out had the underwriting year remained open indefinitely.

<sup>(5)</sup> The amounts shown in this column include amounts contributed to the defined contribution plans in which our employees participate on behalf of each of Messrs. Burton, Greenspan, Romer and Curnock and the pension allowance paid to Mr. O'Brien.

<sup>(6)</sup> Because he is based in Ireland, Mr. O'Brien's cash compensation is generally paid to him in Euros rather than United States dollars. Amounts reported as "Salary," and "All Other Compensation" are based on an average conversion rate for 2022, which was $1.05 United States dollars for each Euro. As noted above, amounts reported as "Bonus" and "Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation" were denominated in United States dollars, but will be paid to Mr. O'Brien in Euros rather than United States dollars because he is based in Ireland.

**GRANTS OF PLAN BASED AWARDS IN FISCAL YEAR 2022** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our Compensation Committee and/or Board granted restricted share awards and restricted share unit awards and established target bonuses for our NEOs in 2022. Set forth in the following table is information regarding restricted share awards and restricted share unit awards granted in 2022 as well as 2022 bonus opportunities.

___________

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(1)</sup>The amounts reflect the NEO's threshold, target and maximum amount of payouts under the Short Term Incentive Plan as of the grant date of such awards. The actual amounts paid to our NEOs pursuant to the plan are set forth in the Summary Compensation Table above. For more information about the terms of the Short Term Incentive Plan, please see the section of this Proxy Statement entitled "*Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Bonuses*."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(2)</sup>The amounts reflect the restricted shares or restricted share units, as applicable, made pursuant to our 2004 stock incentive plan to each of Messrs. Burton, Greenspan, O'Brien, Romer and Curnock, vesting in substantially equal installments over three years on each January 1, 2023, January 1, 2024, and January 1, 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(3)</sup>The amounts reflect the aggregate grant date fair value for each NEO's restricted share or restricted share unit awards granted in 2022, determined in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, "Compensation—Stock Compensation." The values represent the achievement of the performance conditions at the target level of performance conditions. Assuming the highest level of performance achievement as of the grant date, the aggregate grant date value of the awards for

------

Messrs. Burton, Greenspan, O'Brien, Romer and Curnock would have been $2,672,000, $584,500, $579,171, $399,000, $490,980, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(4)</sup>The amounts reflect the threshold, target and maximum number of share that will vest with respect to restricted shares or be issuable with respect to restricted share units, made pursuant to our 2004 stock incentive plan to each Messrs. Burton, Greenspan, O'Brien, Romer and Curnock. The performance shares vest, and the performance share units are settled in shares of common stock, in an amount from 0% to 100% of the shares or units awarded, respectively, based on fully diluted book value per share growth (65% weight) and combined ratio (35% weight) for the three year performance period commencing on January 1, 2022 and ending on December 31, 2024.

**Employment Agreements**

The following paragraphs summarize the material terms of the employment agreements of our NEOs. The severance provisions of these agreements are summarized in the section entitled "*Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control*" below.

*Simon Burton*. In connection with his appointment as Chief Executive Officer, we entered into an employment agreement, effective July 1, 2017, with Mr. Burton, or the Burton Employment Agreement, which was amended and superseded in February 2022 as described below. The Burton Employment Agreement provided that Mr. Burton would be employed by us as Chief Executive Officer for a fixed three year term, with an automatic three year renewal (which occurred in July 2020), unless the Company or Mr. Burton gave written notice of non-renewal at least 180 days in advance of the expiry of the fixed term.

**The 2004 Stock Incentive Plan**

***General***

On August 12, 2004, we adopted the Greenlight Capital Re, Ltd. 2004 stock incentive plan, which was amended and restated on August 15, 2005, February 14, 2007, May 4, 2007, April 28, 2010, April 26, 2017 and October 29, 2020. The general purpose of the 2004 stock incentive plan is to enable us and our affiliates to retain the services of eligible employees, directors and consultants through the grant of stock options, stock bonuses and rights to acquire restricted shares (collectively referred to as the awards).

On July 30, 2020, our Board of Directors adopted, subject to shareholder approval, which was obtained on October 29, 2020, an amended and restated 2004 stock incentive plan, which increased the number of Class A ordinary shares authorized for issuance under the 2004 stock incentive plan by 3.0 million Class A ordinary shares to 8.0 million Class A ordinary shares.

Subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the 2004 stock incentive plan, 8,000,000 Class A ordinary shares are available for the grant of awards under the 2004 stock incentive plan. As of December 31, 2022, 1,914,627 options and 4,073,947 restricted shares or restricted share units, net of forfeitures, have been granted under the 2004 stock incentive plan.

As described in "Proposal 11: Approval and Adoption of the 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan" we are seeking shareholder approval of the 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan at this Meeting.

***Administration***

Our Compensation Committee administers the 2004 stock incentive plan and has broad discretion, subject to the terms of the 2004 stock incentive plan, to determine which eligible participants will be granted awards, prescribe the terms and conditions of awards, establish rules and regulations for the interpretation and administration of the 2004 stock incentive plan and adopt any modifications, procedures or sub-plans that may be necessary or desirable to comply with the laws of foreign countries in which we or our affiliates operate to assure the viability of awards granted under the 2004 stock incentive plan.

***Options***

Options are subject to such terms and conditions as our Compensation Committee deems appropriate. Our Compensation Committee determines the per share exercise price of options which will not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Class A ordinary shares on the date of grant. Options generally expire ten years from the date of grant and vest and become exercisable as determined by our Compensation Committee.

Unless otherwise provided in an individual option agreement and subject to the 2004 stock incentive plan's adjustment provision, a change of control will not affect any options granted under the 2004 stock incentive plan.

***Restricted Shares and Restricted Share Units***

Restricted shares and restricted share units are subject to such terms and conditions as our Compensation Committee deems appropriate as set forth in individual award agreements. Participants may be entitled to vote the restricted shares while held in our custody. Participants are not entitled to vote the restricted share units while held. Our Compensation Committee determines the purchase price, if any, of restricted Class A ordinary shares.

------

***Stock Bonus Awards***

Our Compensation Committee may also grant stock bonus awards under the 2004 stock incentive plan subject to such terms and conditions as our Compensation Committee deems appropriate. The 2004 stock incentive plan provides that stock bonus awards can be awarded for past service and/or conditioned on continued future services. In the event that stock bonus awards are subject to continued service conditions, the 2004 stock incentive plan provides that a stock bonus award may (but need not) be subject to repurchase by us at par value if the participant does not fully satisfy any continued service conditions established for such stock bonus awards.

***Adjustments***

Our Compensation Committee will determine the appropriate adjustments to be made in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available with respect to an award upon the occurrence of certain events affecting our capitalization such as a dividend or other distribution, recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, spin-off or sale, transfer or disposition of all or substantially all of our assets or stock. For example, our Compensation Committee may adjust the number of Class A ordinary shares subject to outstanding awards and the exercise price of outstanding options.

***Amendment/Termination***

Our Board of Directors may amend the 2004 stock incentive plan at any time. Except as provided in the 2004 stock incentive plan, no amendment will be effective unless approved by our shareholders to the extent shareholder approval is necessary to satisfy any applicable law or any national securities exchange listing requirement, and no amendment will be made that would adversely affect rights under an award previously granted under the 2004 stock incentive plan without the consent of the affected participants. Our Compensation Committee may suspend or terminate the 2004 stock incentive plan at any time.

Unless sooner terminated, the 2004 stock incentive plan will terminate on April 27, 2024.

<sup>(5)</sup> Mr. Burton was granted 145,089 Class A ordinary restricted shares on March 16, 2020 subject (i) to performance vesting conditions (i.e., the Combined Ratio) measured over the six year period from January 1, 2019 until December 31, 2024 and (ii) generally to continued employment through and including the applicable vesting date (i.e., the fifth anniversary of the date of grant). The Combined Ratio will be determined after the end of the performance prior but prior to March 16, 2025. Accordingly, the actual number of shares earned will be determined following the end of the performance period. The numbers reflected with respect to this award assume achievement of the performance goals at the full target level and also reflect the impact of the Acceleration on July 30, 2020, when 72,545 Class A ordinary shares vested.

The Combined Ratio will be determined after the end of the performance prior but prior to March 15, 2024. Accordingly, the actual number of shares earned will be determined following the end of the performance period. The numbers reflected with respect to this award assume achievement of the performance goals at the full target level.

<sup>(7)</sup> Mr. Burton was granted 30,660 Class A ordinary restricted shares on March 15, 2018 subject (i) to performance vesting conditions (i.e., the Combined Ratio) measured over the five and one-half year period from July 1, 2017 until December 31, 2022 and (ii) generally to continued employment through and including the applicable vesting date (i.e., the fifth anniversary of the date of grant). The Combined Ratio will be determined after the end of the performance prior but prior to March 15, 2023. Subsequently, following the end of the fiscal year the Company determined that the performance vesting condition was not satisfied and these shares were forfeited. The numbers reflected with respect to this award assume achievement of the performance goals at the full target level.

**2004 Stock Incentive Plan and Awards Granted Thereunder**

Under the terms of the 2004 stock incentive plan, unless an option award provides otherwise, upon termination other than for cause (as defined below), death or disability (as defined below), all unvested options terminate and the participant may exercise his or her vested options within the period ending upon the earlier of three months following termination or ten years from the grant date of the option (i.e., the option's expiration date). Unless an option award provides otherwise, upon termination for cause, all vested and unvested options will terminate. Unless an option award provides otherwise, upon termination for death or disability, all unvested options will terminate, and the vested portion of the option may be exercised for the period ending upon the earlier of twelve months following termination or the option's expiration date.

Under the terms of the option grant which Mr. Burton received in 2017, upon Mr. Burton's termination due to his death or disability (as defined in his employment agreement, see description above), any unvested portion of the options will terminate and any vested portion of the option will remain exercisable until the expiration date. If Mr. Burton's permanently retires from the reinsurance industry, is willing to continue to serve as a member of our Board of Directors and does not resign from our Board of Directors as a result of a conflict of interest (collectively referred to as the "retirement conditions"), the vested portion of the option will remain exercisable until expiration. If after retirement, Mr. Burton subsequently fails to satisfy the retirement conditions, such options will revert to remain exercisable for 90 days after such failure. If we terminate Mr. Burton's employment for cause all vested and unvested portions of the option will terminate.

**2022 Pay Ratio**

As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship of the annual total compensation of our employees and the annual total compensation of Mr. Burton, our Chief Executive Officer (our "CEO").

For 2022, our last completed fiscal year:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a) the median of the annual total compensation of all our employees (other than our CEO) was $182,981; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b) the total annualized compensation of our CEO was $2,610,610.

***Based on this information, for 2022, the ratio of the total annualized compensation of Mr. Burton, our CEO, to the median of the annual total compensation of all employees was 14.3 to 1.0.***

To identify the median employee in 2022, we took the following steps:

i.We selected December 31, 2022, which we refer to as the determination date, which is within the last three months of 2022, as the date upon which we would identify the "median employee."

ii.We identified the median employee by examining the annual total compensation for 2022, calculated in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K, of each of our employees employed as of December 31, 2022. For those employees who joined the Company during 2022 the total compensation was annualized as if they had been employed for the entire year. We calculated the total compensation for each employee in the same manner as the "Total Compensation" shown for our NEOs in the "*Summary Compensation Table*", including converting currencies of our employees in Ireland into United States dollars based on an average conversion rate for 2022 which was $1.05, where applicable and including converting currencies of our employee in the United Kingdom into United States dollars based on an average conversion rate for 2022 which was $1.23, where applicable. We determined the compensation of our median employee by ranking the annual total compensation of all employees, except for our CEO, and selecting the median employee based on their total compensation.

**Pay Versus Performance** 

As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship of executive compensation actually paid and certain financial performance of our company. The following table shows the total compensation for our NEOs for the past three fiscal years as set forth in the Summary Compensation Table, or the compensation actually paid or CAP, to our CEO or our PEO, and, on an average basis, our non-PEO NEOs (in each case, as determined under SEC rules), our total shareholder return, or TSR, the TSR of the S&P 500 Property & Casualty Insurance Index, or our Peer Group TSR, over the same period, our net income, and our company-selected measure for 2022, Growth in Fully Diluted Book Value Per Share.

Fully Diluted Book Value per Share is a non-GAAP measure. Please refer to Annex 1 for definition of non-GAAP measures.

**Narrative to Pay Versus Performance Table** 

This section should be read in conjunction with the CD&A on page [48](#i8f22d99be2eb4abaad5ce844f63d278f_58), which includes additional discussion of our objectives of executive compensation and benefits program and how they are aligned with the company's financial and operational performance. The Compensation Committee does not use CAP as a basis for making compensation decisions, nor do we use the performance measure of Net Income, as defined by the SEC for purposes of the pay vs performance table above, to measure performance for compensation.

The charts below show, for the past three years, the relationship of TSR relative to the Peer Group TSR, as well as the relationships between PEO and non-PEO NEO average CAP and (i) TSR and (ii) net income.

**2022 Performance Metrics** 

We consider the performance measures listed in the table below as the most important performance measures used by us to link NEO compensation for 2022 to Company performance. Each of these measures is described in more detail below.

Most Important Performance Measures <br> <u>• Growth in Fully Diluted Book Value Per Share• Underwriting Combined Ratio• Adjusted Operating Profit</u>

*Growth in Fully Diluted Book Value Per Share.*

Our primary financial goal is to increase fully diluted book value per share over the long term. We use growth in fully diluted book value per share as performance condition in our long-term incentive compensation. We believe that long-term growth in fully diluted book value per share is the most relevant measure of our financial performance because it provides management and investors a yardstick to monitor the shareholder value generated. Fully diluted book value per share may also help our investors, shareholders, and other interested parties form a basis of comparison with other companies within the property and casualty reinsurance industry.

Fully diluted book value per share represents basic book value per share combined with any dilutive impact of in-the-money stock options, unvested service-based RSUs, and the earned portion of unvested performance-based RSUs granted. Fully diluted book value per share also includes the dilutive effect, if any, of ordinary shares expected to be issued upon settlement of our convertible notes. Fully diluted book value per share is a non-GAAP financial measure. Please refer to Annex 1 for definitions of non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures.

*Underwriting Combined Ratio.*

We evaluate our underwriting performance based on the underwriting combined ratio. We use achievement of underwriting combined ratio as a performance condition in our long-term incentive compensation. Underwriting combined ratio is calculated as 1 minus (the net underwriting income (loss) divided by the net earned premium). We do not use premiums written as a measure of performance. We use net underwriting income (loss) as a performance measure to evaluate the fundamentals underlying the Company's underwriting operations. We believe that the use of net underwriting income (loss) enables investors and other users of the Company's financial information to analyze our performance in a manner similar to how management analyzes performance. We believes this measure follows industry practice and allows the users of financial information to compare the Company's performance with that of our industry peer group.

We calculate net underwriting income (loss) as net premiums earned, plus other income relating to reinsurance and deposit-accounted contracts, less deposit interest expense, less net loss and loss adjustment expenses, acquisition costs, and underwriting expenses. Net underwriting income (loss) is a non-GAAP measure. Please refer to Annex 1 for definitions of non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures.

*Adjusted Operating Profit.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;* 

We also measure our performance based on adjusted operating profit, or AOP, as this measure reflects management's contribution to long term profitability and operational efficiency. AOP is calculated as the sum of (i) the underwriting income and (ii) the strategic investments income (net of tax), less (iii) corporate innovations-related expense, as a percentage of book value. We use AOP as a performance measure in our short-term incentive compensation. AOP is a non-GAAP performance measure. Please refer to Annex 1 for definitions of non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures.

**Equity Compensation Plan Information**

The following table provides information as of December 31, 2022 with respect to the Company's Class A ordinary shares that may be issued upon the exercise of options, warrants and restricted share units granted to employees, consultants or members of our Board of Directors under all of our existing compensation plans, including the 2004 stock incentive plan, each as amended.

**Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation**

The individuals who served as members of the Compensation Committee during the year ended December 31, 2022 were Ms. Foley and Messrs. Isaacs and Platt, each of whom the Board of Directors deemed to be independent in accordance with the director independence standards of the Nasdaq stock market rules. No member of the Compensation Committee was, during 2022, or had previously been, an executive officer or employee of the Company or had any relationships requiring disclosure by the Company under the SEC's rules requiring disclosure of certain relationships and related-party transactions. During fiscal year 2022, none of our executive officers served on the compensation committee (or its equivalent) or board of directors of another entity whose executive officer served on our Board or Compensation Committee.

**AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT**

Management has the primary responsibility for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, preparing the financial statements and the public reporting process. The Audit Committee's primary purpose is to assist the Board of Directors in fulfilling its responsibilities to oversee the participation of management in the financial reporting process and the role and responsibilities of the independent auditors.

In performing its oversight role in connection with the audit of the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, the Audit Committee has:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; reviewed and discussed the audited consolidated financial statements with management;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; discussed with the independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by rules adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent auditors required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent auditors' communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence and has discussed with the independent auditors the independent auditors' independence.

------

Based on the review and discussions referred to above, and in reliance on the information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Audit Committee by management and the independent auditors, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the December 31, 2022 audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Based solely on the reports received by us and on the written representations of the reporting persons, we believe that no director, executive officer or greater than 10% shareholder failed to file on a timely basis the reports required by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act during, or with respect to, fiscal year 2022.

**Limited Partnership Agreement**

On September 1, 2018, the Company entered into a Limited Partnership Agreement, or the LPA, with Solasglas Investments, LP, which we refer to as SILP, with DME Advisors II, LLC, which we refer to as DME II, as General Partner. DME II and DME Advisors, LP, which we refer to as DME Advisors, are related parties and are controlled by David Einhorn, the Chair of the Board, the President and Portfolio Manager of Greenlight Capital, Inc., and the beneficial owner of all of the issued and outstanding Class B ordinary shares. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company transferred rights to $366.3 million of net investments from Greenlight Re and GRIL's joint venture, or the Joint Venture, investment accounts to SILP in exchange for limited partnership interests of the same amount, resulting in no net gain or loss.

DME II receives a performance allocation equal to (with capitalized terms having the meaning provided under the LPA) (a) 10% of the portion of the Positive Performance Change for each limited partner's capital account that is less than or equal to the positive balance in such limited partner's Carryforward Account, plus (b) 20% of the portion of the Positive Performance Change for each limited partner's capital account that exceeds the positive balance in such limited partner's Carryforward Account. The Carryforward Account for Greenlight Re and GRIL include the amount of losses that were to be recouped under the Joint Venture as well as any loss generated on the assets invested in SILP, subject to adjustments for redemptions. The loss carry forward provision contained in the LPA allows DME II to earn reduced performance allocation of 10% of profits in any year subsequent to any years in which SILP has incurred a loss, until all losses are recouped and an additional amount equal to 150% of the loss is earned. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company's investment income from SILP included performance allocation to DME II of $6.1 million (2021: $2.0 million).

On September 1, 2018, SILP entered into an investment advisory agreement, or the IAA, with DME Advisors which entitles DME Advisors to a monthly management fee equal to 0.125% (1.5% on an annual basis) of each limited partner's Investment Portfolio, as provided in the LPA. The IAA has an initial term ending on August 31, 2023 subject to automatic extension for successive three-year terms. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company's investment income from SILP included management fees paid by SILP to DME Advisors of $3.6 million (2021: $3.5 million).

On February 26, 2019, effective as of September 1, 2018, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the LPA. The amendment was intended to revise the mechanics for calculating the Carryforward Account and Performance Allocation (as defined in the LPA) to take into account withdrawals from and subsequent recontributions of capital to SILP, consistent with the treatment under the Joint Venture.

On August 5, 2020, in connection with the investments by Greenlight Re and GRIL in SILP, pursuant to the LPA, the Company entered into an amended and restated letter agreement, or the Letter Agreement, with DME Advisors and DME II whereby from July 1, 2020 until such date on which neither Greenlight Re nor GRIL is a limited partner in the Partnership, or as further modified by agreement of the parties: (a) the Deployed GLRE Investment Portfolio (as defined in the Letter Agreement) shall not exceed an amount equal to 50% of the GLRE Surplus (as defined in the Letter Agreement); (b) in the event that the Deployed GLRE Investment Portfolio exceeds 50% of the GLRE Surplus, which we refer to as Excess Assets, DME II and the DME Advisors will use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to promptly liquidate positions in Excess Assets to Non-Risk Assets (as defined in the Letter Agreement) as may be necessary to comply with the preceding paragraph (a); and (c) until June 30, 2021, Non-Risk Assets were not subject to any Management Fee (as defined in the LPA) or Performance Allocation (as defined in the LPA).

On January 7, 2021, the Company, Greenlight Re, GRIL and DME II entered into the Second Amended and Restated Exempted Limited Partnership Agreement, effective as of January 1, 2021, or the Second Restated LPA. The Second Restated LPA amended, restated, superseded and incorporated all material terms of the Letter Agreement and was intended to amend certain definitions in the LPA, including "Additional Investment Ratio", "Greenlight Re Surplus" and the "GRIL Surplus". In addition, the Second Restated LPA amended Section 4.1(c) to incorporate the requirement to limit the size of any Partner's Investment Portfolio (as defined in the Second Restated LPA) and amended each of Schedule 4.1(c)-1 (the Greenlight Re Guidelines) and Schedule 4.1(c)-2 (the GRIL Guidelines) to reflect the amended investment guidelines adopted by the board of directors of Greenlight Re and GRIL, respectively, effective as of January 1, 2021.

Pursuant to the Second Restated LPA and the IAA, the Company has agreed to indemnify DME II and DME Advisors for any expense, loss, liability or damage arising out of any claim asserted or threatened in connection with DME Advisors serving as SILP's investment advisor. The Company will reimburse DME, DME II and DME Advisors for reasonable costs and expenses of investigating and/or defending such claims, provided such claims were not caused due to gross negligence, breach of contract or misrepresentation by DME II or DME Advisors. For the year ended December 31, 2022, there were [no] indemnification payments payable or paid by the Company.

------

In accordance with the Second Restated LPA, either of Greenlight Re or GRIL may voluntarily withdraw all or part of its Capital Account for its operating needs by giving DME II at least 3 business days notice. In addition, either of Greenlight Re or GRIL may withdraw as a partner and fully withdraw all of its Capital Account from SILP on 3 business days notice if the Board of Greenlight Re or GRIL, as applicable, declares that a cause for withdrawal exists as per the LPA.

**Service Agreement**

The Company has entered into a service agreement with DME Advisors, which was amended in August 2007 and October 2007, pursuant to which DME Advisors provides investor relations services to the Company for compensation of $5,000 per month (plus expenses). The service agreement had an initial term of one year and continues for sequential one-year periods until terminated by either the Company or DME Advisors. Either party may terminate the service agreement for any reason with 30 days prior written notice to the other party.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company incurred expenses of $60,000 to DME Advisors for investor relations services.

**Shareholders' Agreement**

Pursuant to the Company's Shareholders' Agreement, Greenlight Capital Investors, LLC, which we refer to as GCI, had the right to unlimited demand registration rights once we are eligible to use Form S-3 (or similar short form registration statements).

**Shareholder Proposals for the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders in 2024** 

*Shareholder Proposals for Inclusion in Proxy Statement*

Pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act, shareholder proposals must be received in writing by the Secretary of the Company no later than 120 days prior to the date of the Company's proxy statement released to shareholders in connection with the Company's previous year's annual meeting of shareholders and must comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8 in order to be considered for inclusion in the Company's Proxy Statement and form of proxy relating to the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders in 2024. The Company believes that shareholder proposals received by January 12, 2024 would be considered timely for inclusion in the Company's Proxy Statement for the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders in 2024, or the 2024 Proxy Statement. Such proposals should be directed to the attention of the Secretary, Greenlight Capital Re, Ltd.

*Shareholder Proposals for Presentation at Meeting*

Pursuant to the Company's Articles, any shareholder proposal for the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders in 2024, or the 2024 Meeting, other than with respect to a nominee for election as a director, which is submitted outside the processes of Rule 14a-8 and is therefore not submitted for inclusion in next year's proxy statement, shall be considered untimely unless received by the Secretary in writing no later than the close of business on the 90th day nor earlier than the opening of business on the 120th day before the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual general meeting. As a result, such shareholder proposals must be received no earlier than March 27, 2024 and no later than April 26, 2024 to be considered timely. Such proposals should be directed to the attention of the Secretary, Greenlight Capital Re, Ltd. If a shareholder proposal is introduced at the 2024 Meeting without any discussion of the proposal in the 2024 Proxy Statement and the shareholder does not notify the Company on a timely basis, in accordance with Cayman Islands corporate law, of the intent to raise such proposal at the 2024 Meeting, then proxies received by the Company for the 2024 Meeting will be voted by the persons named as such proxies in their discretion with respect to such proposal.

*Shareholder Proposals regarding Director Nominees*

Pursuant to the Company's Articles, any shareholders' proposal with respect to the nomination of a person for election as a director at the 2024 Meeting must be received no later than 120 days prior to the date of such annual general meeting to be considered timely. Such proposal must otherwise comply with the advance notice procedures and other provisions set forth in the Articles in order for such nominations to be properly brought before the 2024 Meeting.

**Costs of Solicitation**

The entire cost of this proxy solicitation will be borne by the Company, including expenses in connection with preparing, assembly, printing and mailing proxy solicitation materials. In addition to solicitation by mail, officers, directors and employees of the Company may solicit proxies by telephone, facsimile, electronic communication, in person or via the Internet, although no compensation will be paid for such solicitation. We will also reimburse brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries, upon request, for their reasonable expenses incurred in sending proxies and proxy materials to beneficial owners of our common stock. Additionally, we have retained MacKenzie Partners, Inc. as an outside proxy solicitation firm to assist us with the solicitation of proxies. The Company will pay the proxy solicitor $15,000 and a potential success fee of $7,500, plus reimbursement for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.

**ANNEX 1 - NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES**

In presenting our results for purposes of compensation determinations, we use certain key financial measures, some of which are not prescribed under U.S. GAAP rules and standards ("non-GAAP financial measures"). Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure, as defined in SEC Regulation G, is a numerical measure of a company's historical or future financial performance, financial position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented under U.S. GAAP. We believe that these measures, which may be calculated or defined differently by other companies, provide consistent and comparable metrics of our business performance to help shareholders understand performance trends and facilitate a more thorough understanding of the Company's business. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be viewed as substitutes for those determined under U.S. GAAP.

The key non-GAAP financial measures used in this report are:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Fully diluted book value per share

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Net underwriting income (loss)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adjusted Operating Profit (AOP)

***Fully Diluted Book Value Per Share***

We believe that long-term growth in fully diluted book value per share is the most relevant measure of our financial performance because it provides management and investors a yardstick to monitor the shareholder value generated. Fully diluted book value per share may also help our investors, shareholders, and other interested parties form a basis of comparison with other companies within the property and casualty reinsurance industry. Basic book value per share and fully diluted book value per share should not be viewed as substitutes for the comparable U.S. GAAP measures.

We calculate basic book value per share as (a) ending shareholders' equity, divided by (b) aggregate of Class A and Class B Ordinary shares issued and outstanding, including all unvested service-based restricted shares, and the earned portion of performance-based restricted shares granted after December 31, 2021. We exclude shares potentially issuable in connection with convertible notes if the conversion price exceeds the share price.

Fully diluted book value per share represents basic book value per share combined with any dilutive impact of in-the-money stock options, unvested service-based RSUs, and the earned portion of unvested performance-based RSUs granted. Fully diluted book value per share also includes the dilutive effect, if any, of ordinary shares expected to be issued upon settlement of the convertible notes.

Our primary financial goal is to increase fully diluted book value per share over the long term. We use fully diluted book value per share as a financial measure in our annual incentive compensation.

For a reconciliation of Diluted book value per share, for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, please see page 58 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

***Net Underwriting Income (Loss)***

One of the ways that we evaluate the Company's underwriting performance is by measuring net underwriting income (loss). We do not use premiums written as a measure of performance. Net underwriting income (loss) is a performance measure used by management to evaluate the fundamentals underlying the Company's underwriting operations. We believe that the use of net underwriting income (loss) enables investors and other users of the Company's financial information to analyze our performance in a manner similar to how management analyzes performance. Management also believes this measure follows industry practice and allows the users of financial information to compare the Company's performance with that of our industry peer group.

Net underwriting income (loss) is considered a non-GAAP financial measure because it excludes items used to calculate net income before taxes under U.S. GAAP. We calculate net underwriting income (loss) as net premiums earned, plus other income relating to reinsurance and deposit-accounted contracts, less deposit interest expense, less net loss and loss adjustment expenses, acquisition costs, and underwriting expenses. The measure excludes, on a recurring basis: (1) investment income

------

(loss); (2) other income (expense) not related to underwriting, including foreign exchange gains or losses, Lloyd's interest income and expense, and adjustments to the allowance for expected credit losses; (3) corporate general and administrative expenses; and (4) interest expense. We exclude total investment income or loss, foreign exchange gains or losses, Lloyd's interest income or expense and expected credit losses as we believe these items are influenced by market conditions and other factors unrelated to underwriting decisions. We exclude corporate and interest expenses because these costs are generally fixed and not incremental to or directly related to our underwriting operations. We believe all of these amounts are largely independent of our underwriting process, and including them could hinder the analysis of trends in our underwriting operations. Net underwriting income (loss) should not be viewed as a substitute for U.S. GAAP net income before income taxes.

For a reconciliation of net underwriting income (loss), for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, please see page 59 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

***Adjusted Operating Profit***

Effective January 1, 2022, one of the ways that we measure our performance is based on adjusted operating profit, or AOP, as this measure reflects management's contribution to long term profitability and operational efficiency. AOP is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be viewed as a substitute for the comparable U.S. GAAP measure - net income before taxes. AOP is considered a non-GAAP financial measure because it excludes items used to calculate net income before taxes under U.S. GAAP. AOP is calculated as the sum of (i) the underwriting income and (ii) the strategic investments income (net of tax), less (iii) corporate innovations-related expense, as a percentage of book value. We use AOP as a performance measure in our short-term incentive compensation.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net income before taxes (GAAP) to the AOP for the year ended December 31, 2022.

**APPENDIX A PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE ARTICLES TO ELIMINATE DUAL CLASS STRUCTURE**

**(with deletions indicated by strike-outs and additions indicated by underlining)**

**BE IT RESOLVED**, as a Special Resolution, that the following articles of the Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company and Schedule A thereto be amended as set forth below:

**Articles of Association**

1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Interpretation

(k)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"**Class A Ordinary Shares**" means the Class A Ordinary Shares of the Company, initially having a par value of $0.10 per Share, and includes a fraction of a Class A Ordinary Share;<u>[Reserved]</u>

(l)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"**Class B Ordinary Shares**" means the Class B Ordinary Shares of the Company, initially having a par value of $0.10 per Share, and includes a fraction of a Class B Ordinary Share;<u>[Reserved]</u>

(ff)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"**Ordinary Shares**" means collectively, the Class A Ordinary Shares and the Class B Ordinary Shares <u>ordinary Shares of the Company, par value of $0.10 per share,</u> and includes a fraction of an Ordinary Share;

11.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Exercise of power to purchase Shares or securities that may be exchanged for or converted to Shares

(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notwithstanding (a) above, if the Board in its absolute and unfettered discretion, on behalf of the Company, determines that ownership of Class A Ordinary Shares (or any securities that may be exchanged for or converted to Class A Ordinary Shares) of the Company by any Member (1) would violate the ownership limitations described in Article 11(1)(c) or (2) would result in an increased risk of adverse tax, regulatory or legal consequences to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of the Members;<u>,</u> the Company will have the option, but not the obligation, subject to Statute to purchase all or part of the Class A Ordinary Shares (or any securities that may be exchanged for or converted to Shares) of the Company held by such Member (to the extent the Board, in the reasonable exercise of its discretion, determines it is necessary to avoid or cure such adverse consequences) with funds available therefor in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such Shares on the date the Company sends the Repurchase Notice referred to below (the "Repurchase Price"); provided, that the Board will use reasonable efforts to exercise this option equally among similarly situated Persons (to the extent possible under the circumstances). In that event, the Company will also be entitled to assign its purchase right to a third party or parties including one or more of the other Persons, with the consent of such assignee. Each Member shall be bound by the determination by the Company to purchase or assign its right to purchase such Member's Shares (or securities that may be exchanged for or converted to Shares) and, if so required by the Company, shall sell the number of Shares (or securities that may be exchanged for or converted to Shares) of the Company that the Company requires it to sell.

(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The ownership limitations described in this Article 11(1)(c) are as follows: except upon unanimous consent by the Board (i) no Person shall be allowed to acquire Class A Ordinary Shares (or securities that may be exchanged for or converted to Shares) if such acquisition would cause any Person to own (directly, indirectly or constructively under applicable U.S. tax attribution and constructive ownership rules) 9.9% or more of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares; and (ii) no Person shall be allowed to acquire Class A Ordinary Shares if such acquisition would cause such Person to own directly 9.9% or more of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares.

43.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Voting at meetings

(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subject to the adjustments provided in Article 53, each holder of Class A Ordinary Shares generally is entitled to one (1) vote per Class A Ordinary Share. However, except upon unanimous consent of the Board, in the event that a holder of Class A Ordinary Shares is a Tentative 9.9% Member, then the aggregate votes conferred by the Ordinary Shares held by such holder shall be reduced in accordance with Article 54(2).

------

(3)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Generally, each holder of Class B Ordinary Shares is entitled to ten (10) votes per Class B Ordinary Share. However, in the event that the aggregate number of votes conferred by all of the issued and outstanding Class B Ordinary Shares, voting as a class, exceeds 9.5% of the Total Voting Power, then the Total Voting Power of the class shall be reduced to 9.5% of the Total Voting Power. The voting power of any Class A Ordinary Shares held by any holder of Class B Ordinary Shares (whether directly, or indirectly or constructively under applicable attribution and constructive ownership rules contained in the Code) shall be included for purposes of measuring Total Voting Power in the immediately preceding sentence, except, and only to the extent, the right to vote such Class A Ordinary Shares has been limited pursuant to the Articles.<u>[Reserved]</u>

48.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Demand for a poll

(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Where, in accordance with the provisions of subparagraph (1) of this Article, a poll is demanded, subject to the provisions of Articles 12(3), 43(2), 43(3) and 54(1)-(4) (as well as the additional restrictions and rights of the Class B Ordinary Shares set forth in Schedule A hereto), every person present at such meeting shall have the number of votes corresponding each for such Share of which such person is the holder or for which such person holds a proxy and such vote shall be counted in the manner set out in subparagraph (4) of this Article or in the case of a general meeting at which one or more Members are present by telephone in such manner as the chairman of the meeting may direct and the result of such poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the meeting at which the poll was demanded and shall replace any previous resolution upon the same matter which has been the subject of a show of hands.

53.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Rights of Shares

(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Upon adoption of these Articles, t<u>T</u>he <u>authorized</u> share capital of the Company shall <u>be US$17,500,000 divided into</u> consist of 125,000,000 Ordinary Shares, par value US$0.10 <u>per share,</u> divided into 100,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares and 25,000,000 Class B Ordinary Shares and 50,000,000 Preferred Shares, par value of US$0.10 <u>per share</u>each<u>.</u> 

(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subject to the provisions of Articles 12(3), 43(2), 43(3) and 54(1)-(4) (as well as the additional restrictions and rights of the Class B Ordinary Shares set forth in Schedule A hereto), each Class A Ordinary Share shall be entitled to one vote per Class A Ordinary Share. The Class B Ordinary Shares rights and restrictions are set forth in Schedule A to these Articles, but otherwise the holders of all Ordinary Shares shall:

54.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Limitation on voting rights of Controlled Shares.

(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;General. Subject to the provisions of Articles 12(3), 43(2), 43(3), and 54(1)-(4) (as well as the additional restrictions and rights of the Class B Ordinary Shares set forth in Schedule A hereto), and subject to any rights and restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of Shares, every Member and every Person representing a Member by proxy shall have one vote for each Class A Ordinary Share carrying the right to vote on the matter in question of which such Member or such Person representing a Member by proxy is the holder. Notwithstanding any other provisions of these Articles, all determinations in these Articles that are made by or subject to a vote or approval of Members shall be based upon the voting power of such Members' Shares as determined pursuant to Articles 12(3), 43(3), and 54(1)-(4) (as well as the additional restrictions and rights of the Class B Ordinary Shares set forth in Schedule A hereto).

(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Adjustment of voting power. Except upon unanimous consent of the Board, the voting power of each Class A Ordinary Share and each Class B Ordinary Share is hereby adjusted (and shall be automatically adjusted in the future) to the extent necessary so that no Person is a 9.9% Member (as defined below). This Article 54 shall be applied prior to the application of Article 12(3). The Board shall implement the foregoing in the manner provided herein.

The Board shall from time to time, including prior to any time at which a vote of Members is taken, take all reasonable steps necessary to ascertain through communications with Members or otherwise, whether there exists, or will exist at the time any vote of Members is taken, a Tentative 9.9% Member (as defined below).

In the event that a Tentative 9.9% Member exists, the aggregate votes conferred by the Class A Ordinary Shares and/or Class B Ordinary Shares held by a Member and treated as Controlled Shares of that Tentative 9.9% Member shall be reduced to the extent necessary such that the Controlled Shares of the Tentative 9.9% Member will constitute less than 9.9% of the Total Voting Power. In applying the previous sentence where Class A Ordinary Shares and/or Class B Ordinary Shares held by more than one Member are treated as Controlled Shares of a Tentative 9.9% Member, the reduction in votes shall apply to such Members holding Class A Ordinary Shares in descending order according to their respective Attribution Percentages (as defined below) and then to such Members

------

holding Class B Ordinary Shares, provided that, in the event of a tie, the reduction shall apply first to the Member whose Shares are Controlled Shares of the Tentative 9.9% Member by virtue of the Tentative 9.9% Member's economic interest in (as opposed to voting control with respect to) such Ordinary Shares. The votes attributable to Class A Ordinary Shares and/or Class B Ordinary Shares of Members owning no Class A Ordinary Shares and/or Class B Ordinary Shares treated as Controlled Shares of any Tentative 9.9% Member shall, in the aggregate, be increased by the same number of votes subject to reduction as described above. Such increase shall apply to all such Members in proportion to their voting power at that time, provided that such increase shall be limited to the extent necessary to avoid causing any person to be a 9.9% Member. The adjustments of voting power described in this Article shall apply repeatedly until there would be no 9.9% Member. The Board may deviate from any of the principles described in this Article and determine that Class A Ordinary Shares and/or Class B Ordinary Shares held by a Member shall carry different voting rights as it determines appropriate (1) to avoid the existence of any 9.9% Member or (2) to avoid adverse tax, legal or regulatory consequences to the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company, or any other Member or its Affiliates. For the avoidance of doubt, in applying the provisions of Articles 12(3), 43(2), 43(3), and 54(1)-(4), a Class A Ordinary Share and/or Class B Ordinary Share may carry a fraction of a vote.

(3)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Other adjustments of voting power. In addition to the provisions of Article 54(1), any Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares shall not carry any right to vote to the extent that the Board determines, in its sole discretion, that it is necessary that such Class A Ordinary Shares or Class B Ordinary Shares should not carry the right to vote in order to avoid adverse tax, legal or regulatory consequences to the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company, or any Member, provided that no adjustment pursuant to this sentence shall cause any person to become a 9.9% Member.

(4)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Requirement to provide information and Notice.

(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Board shall have the authority to request from any Member holding, directly or indirectly, Class A Ordinary Shares, and such Member shall provide, such information as the Board may request for the purpose of determining whether any Member's voting rights are to be adjusted. If such Member fails to respond to such a request, or submits incomplete or inaccurate information in response to such a request, the Board may in its sole and absolute discretion determine that such Member's Class A Ordinary Shares shall carry no voting rights in which case such Class A Ordinary Shares shall not carry any voting rights until otherwise determined by the Board in its sole and absolute discretion.

(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Any Member shall give notice to the Company within ten days following the date that such Member acquires actual knowledge that it is a Tentative 9.9% Member or that its Class A Ordinary Shares or Class B Ordinary Shares are Controlled Shares of a Tentative 9.9% Member.

(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company may, but shall have no obligation to provide notice to any Member of any adjustment to its voting power that may result from the application of Article 43(3), Article 12(3), and/or this Article 54.

65.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Restrictions on transfer

(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the event the Board determines that an ownership limitation described in Article 11(1)(c) has been violated as a result of such transfer, the Company shall have the option, but not the obligation, to purchase all or any part of the Class A Ordinary Shares, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable to avoid or cure any adverse or potentially adverse consequences resulting from such transfer. If the Company exercises an option to purchase all or part of the Class A Ordinary Shares held by such Member, the Company shall repurchase the shares at an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such Class A Ordinary Shares on the date the Company sends the Repurchase Notice.

96.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Voting of subsidiary shares

Notwithstanding any other provision of these Articles to the contrary, if the Company is required or entitled to vote at general meetings of (i) Greenlight Reinsurance or (ii) any Designated Subsidiary (as defined in Article 97), the Directors shall refer the subject matter of the vote to the Members on a poll and seek authority from the Members to have the Company's corporate representative or proxy vote in favour of the resolution proposed by Greenlight Reinsurance and/or such Designated Subsidiary. The Directors shall cause the Company's corporate representative or proxy to vote the Company's shares in Greenlight Reinsurance and/or such Designated Subsidiary pro rata to the votes received at the general meeting of the Company, with votes for or against the directing resolution being taken, respectively, as an instruction for the Company's corporate representative or proxy to vote the appropriate proportion of its shares for and the appropriate proportion of its shares against the resolution proposed by Greenlight Reinsurance and/or such Designated Subsidiary. All votes referred to the Company's Members pursuant to this

------

Article 96 shall be subject to the voting power restrictions of Articles 12(3), 43(3), and 54 (and the additional restrictions and rights of the Class B Ordinary Shares set forth in Schedule A hereto).

The voting power of any Class A Ordinary Shares held by any holder of Class B Ordinary Shares (whether directly, or indirectly or constructively under applicable attribution and constructive ownership rules contained in the Code) shall be included for purposes of measuring Total Voting Power in the immediately preceding sentence, except, and only to the extent, the right to vote such Class A Ordinary Shares has been limited pursuant to the Articles.

In addition to the limitation in the immediately preceding sentence, the restrictions on the voting power of Class B Ordinary Shares contained in Articles 12(3) and 54 shall apply to holders of Class B Ordinary Shares.

(b) the voting rights attached to any Class B Ordinary Shares which are determined by the Board to represent in excess of 9.5% of the Total Voting Power, whether pursuant to Schedule A Section 3(a) or Article 12(3), shall be allocated for voting purposes to all the other Members of the Company pro rata according to their percentage interest in the Company; provided however, that no other Member shall be allocated voting rights pursuant to this sentence if doing so would (i) render such other Member a 9.9% Member or (ii) cause the holders of Class B Ordinary Shares, as a class, to hold more than 9.5% of the Total Voting Power as a result of applicable attribution and constructive ownership rules contained in the Code.

4. Requirement to Provide Information and Notice.

(a) The Board shall have the authority to request from any Member holding Class B Ordinary Shares, and such Member shall provide, such information as the Board may request for the purpose of determining whether any Member's voting rights are to be adjusted. If such Member fails to respond to such a request, or submits incomplete or inaccurate information in response to such a request, the Board may in its sole and absolute discretion determine that such Member's Class B Ordinary Shares shall carry no voting rights in which case such Class B Ordinary Shares shall not carry any voting rights until otherwise determined by the Board in its sole and absolute discretion.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Member shall be liable to any other Member or the Company for any losses or damages resulting from such Member's failure to respond to, or submission of incomplete or inaccurate information in response to, a request under paragraph (4)(a).

(c) The Company may, but shall have no obligation to provide notice to any Member of any adjustment to its voting power.

(d) One of the purposes of the voting limitation set forth in this Schedule A is to seek to reduce the likelihood that there would be adverse tax consequences to U.S. Persons if the Company were to be characterized as a controlled foreign corporation as defined in the Code. Nevertheless, the Board will not be liable to the Company, its Members or any other Person whatsoever for any errors in judgment made by its interpreting or enforcing this paragraph or in

------

granting any waiver or waivers to the foregoing restrictions in any case so long as the Board shall have acted in good faith.

5. Conversion.

(a) Following a sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition of any Class B Ordinary Shares by a holder thereof to a purchaser or other transferee, the Class B Ordinary Shares shall immediately and automatically convert into an equal number of Class A Ordinary Shares on a one-for-one basis, by way of redemption and reissue, except for those transfers to a Permitted Transferee, or unless such transfer is unanimously approved by the Board of Directors. Any Class B Ordinary Shares converted to Class A Ordinary Shares pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be subject to the restrictions on voting contained in Articles 12(3) and 54.

(b) The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Class A Ordinary Shares, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Class B Ordinary Shares, such number of its shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all the outstanding Class B Ordinary Shares.

(c) If any Class B Ordinary Shares shall be converted pursuant to this item 5, the Shares so converted shall be retired and returned to the authorized but unissued Class B Ordinary Shares.

**APPENDIX B PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE ARTICLES TO ELIMINATE CUT-BACK PROVISIONS**

**(with deletions indicated by strike-outs and additions indicated by underlining, in each case to be read in conjunction with the amendments under proposal 7, which have not yet been incorporated herein)**

**BE IT RESOLVED**, as a Special Resolution, that the following articles of the Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company and Schedule A thereto be amended as set forth below:

1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Interpretation

(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"**9.9% Member**" shall have the meaning as set forth in Article 54;[Reserved]

11.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Exercise of power to purchase Shares or securities that may be exchanged for or converted to Shares

(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Purchase of Shares

(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subject to the provisions set forth below and the provision of the Statute, the Company shall have <u>(i) the authority to request information with respect to the holdings, directly or indirectly, of Ordinary Shares from any Member, and such Member shall provide such information as the Company may have requested and (ii)</u> the power to purchase its Ordinary Shares, including any securities that may be exchanged for or converted to Shares and redeemable Shares in such manner and on such terms as the Directors may determine and agree with the relevant Member, which shall include, without limitation, the purchase of Shares (or securities that may be exchanged for or converted to Shares) through private negotiations or at market prices through any stock exchange on which such Shares are listed. <u>In addition, each Member shall give notice to the Company within ten (10) days following the date that such Member acquires actual knowledge that it is a beneficial holder of more than 9.9% of the Ordinary Shares.

12.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Election of Directors

(3)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For the avoidance of doubt, any Member participating in the election of directors shall be subject to the limitations on voting rights described in Article 54 and all votes referred to the Company's Members pursuant to Article 96 shall be subject to this Article 12(3).

43.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Voting at meetings

(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subject to the adjustments provided in Article 53, e<u>E</u>ach holder of Class A Ordinary Shares generally is entitled to one (1) vote per Class A Ordinary Share. However, except upon unanimous consent of the Board, in the event that a holder of Class A Ordinary Shares is a Tentative 9.9% Member, then the aggregate votes conferred by the Ordinary Shares held by such holder shall be reduced in accordance with Article 54(2).

48.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Demand for a poll

(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Where, in accordance with the provisions of subparagraph (1) of this Article, a poll is demanded, subject to the provisions of Articles 12(3), 43(2), 43(3) and 54(1)-(4) (as well as the additional restrictions and rights of the Class B Ordinary Shares set forth in Schedule A hereto), every person present at such meeting shall have the number of votes corresponding each for such Share of which such person is the holder or for which such person holds a proxy and such vote shall be counted in the manner set out in subparagraph (4) of this Article or in the case of a general meeting at which one or more Members are present by telephone in such manner as the chairman of the

------

meeting may direct and the result of such poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the meeting at which the poll was demanded and shall replace any previous resolution upon the same matter which has been the subject of a show of hands.

53.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Rights of Shares

(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subject to the provisions of Articles 12(3), 43(2), <u>and</u> 43(3) and 54(1)-(4) (as well as the additional restrictions and rights of the Class B Ordinary Shares set forth in Schedule A hereto), e<u>E</u>ach Class A Ordinary Share shall be entitled to one vote per Class A Ordinary Share. The Class B Ordinary Shares rights and restrictions are set forth in Schedule A to these Articles, but otherwise the holders of all Ordinary Shares shall:

54.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Limitation on voting rights of Controlled Shares.<u>[Reserved]</u>

(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;General. Subject to the provisions of Articles 12(3), 43(2), 43(3), and 54(1)-(4) (as well as the additional restrictions and rights of the Class B Ordinary Shares set forth in Schedule A hereto), and subject to any rights and restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of Shares, every Member and every Person representing a Member by proxy shall have one vote for each Class A Ordinary Share carrying the right to vote on the matter in question of which such Member or such Person representing a Member by proxy is the holder. Notwithstanding any other provisions of these Articles, all determinations in these Articles that are made by or subject to a vote or approval of Members shall be based upon the voting power of such Members' Shares as determined pursuant to Articles 12(3), 43(3), and 54(1)-(4) (as well as the additional restrictions and rights of the Class B Ordinary Shares set forth in Schedule A hereto).

(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Adjustment of voting power. Except upon unanimous consent of the Board, the voting power of each Class A Ordinary Share and each Class B Ordinary Share is hereby adjusted (and shall be automatically adjusted in the future) to the extent necessary so that no Person is a 9.9% Member (as defined below). This Article 54 shall be applied prior to the application of Article 12(3). The Board shall implement the foregoing in the manner provided herein.

The Board shall from time to time, including prior to any time at which a vote of Members is taken, take all reasonable steps necessary to ascertain through communications with Members or otherwise, whether there exists, or will exist at the time any vote of Members is taken, a Tentative 9.9% Member (as defined below).

In the event that a Tentative 9.9% Member exists, the aggregate votes conferred by the Class A Ordinary Shares and/or Class B Ordinary Shares held by a Member and treated as Controlled Shares of that Tentative 9.9% Member shall be reduced to the extent necessary such that the Controlled Shares of the Tentative 9.9% Member will constitute less than 9.9% of the Total Voting Power. In applying the previous sentence where Class A Ordinary Shares and/or Class B Ordinary Shares held by more than one Member are treated as Controlled Shares of a Tentative 9.9% Member, the reduction in votes shall apply to such Members holding Class A Ordinary Shares in descending order according to their respective Attribution Percentages (as defined below) and then to such Members holding Class B Ordinary Shares, provided that, in the event of a tie, the reduction shall apply first to the Member whose Shares are Controlled Shares of the Tentative 9.9% Member by virtue of the Tentative 9.9% Member's economic interest in (as opposed to voting control with respect to) such Ordinary Shares. The votes attributable to Class A Ordinary Shares and/or Class B Ordinary Shares of Members owning no Class A Ordinary Shares and/or Class B Ordinary Shares treated as Controlled Shares of any Tentative 9.9% Member shall, in the aggregate, be increased by the same number of votes subject to reduction as described above. Such increase shall apply to all such Members in proportion to their voting power at that time, provided that such increase shall be limited to the extent necessary to avoid causing any person to be a 9.9% Member. The adjustments of voting power described in this Article shall apply repeatedly until there would be no 9.9% Member. The Board may deviate from any of the principles described in this Article and determine that Class A Ordinary Shares and/or Class B Ordinary Shares held by a Member shall carry different voting rights as it determines appropriate (1) to avoid the existence of any 9.9% Member or (2) to avoid adverse tax, legal or regulatory consequences to the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company, or any other Member or its Affiliates. For the avoidance of doubt, in applying the provisions of Articles 12(3), 43(2), 43(3), and 54(1)-(4), a Class A Ordinary Share and/or Class B Ordinary Share may carry a fraction of a vote.

"Attribution Percentage" shall mean, with respect to a Member and a Tentative 9.9% Member, the percentage of the Member's Shares that are treated as Controlled Shares of such Tentative 9.9% Member.

"Controlled Shares" in reference to any Person or Member means all Ordinary Shares of the Company owned by such Person or Member either (i) directly, (ii) by application of the attribution and constructive ownership rules under Section 958 of the Code, or (iii) beneficially within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

------

"9.9% Member" means a Person whose Controlled Shares constitute nine and nine-tenths percent (9.9%) or more of the voting power of all Ordinary Shares of the Company and who would be generally required to recognize income with respect to the Company under Section 951(a)(1) of the Code if the Company were a controlled foreign corporation as defined in Section 957 of the Code and if the ownership threshold under Section 951(b) of the Code were 9.9%.

"Tentative 9.9% Member" means a Person that, but for adjustments to the voting rights of Shares pursuant to Article 54(1)-(4), would be a 9.9% Member.

(3)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Other adjustments of voting power. In addition to the provisions of Article 54(1), any Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares shall not carry any right to vote to the extent that the Board determines, in its sole discretion, that it is necessary that such Class A Ordinary Shares or Class B Ordinary Shares should not carry the right to vote in order to avoid adverse tax, legal or regulatory consequences to the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company, or any Member, provided that no adjustment pursuant to this sentence shall cause any person to become a 9.9% Member.

(4)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Requirement to provide information and Notice.

(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Board shall have the authority to request from any Member holding, directly or indirectly, Class A Ordinary Shares, and such Member shall provide, such information as the Board may request for the purpose of determining whether any Member's voting rights are to be adjusted. If such Member fails to respond to such a request, or submits incomplete or inaccurate information in response to such a request, the Board may in its sole and absolute discretion determine that such Member's Class A Ordinary Shares shall carry no voting rights in which case such Class A Ordinary Shares shall not carry any voting rights until otherwise determined by the Board in its sole and absolute discretion.

(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Any Member shall give notice to the Company within ten days following the date that such Member acquires actual knowledge that it is a Tentative 9.9% Member or that its Class A Ordinary Shares or Class B Ordinary Shares are Controlled Shares of a Tentative 9.9% Member.

(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Member shall be liable to any other Member or the Company for any losses or damages resulting from such Member's failure to respond to, or submission of incomplete or inaccurate information in response to, a request under paragraph (4)(a) or from such Member's failure to give notice under paragraph (4)(b) of this Article.

(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Board may rely on the information provided by a Member under this Article 54(4) in the satisfaction of its obligations under Article 12(3) and this Article 54.

(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company may, but shall have no obligation to provide notice to any Member of any adjustment to its voting power that may result from the application of Article 43(3), Article 12(3), and/or this Article 54.

(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;One of the purposes of the voting limitation set forth in this Article is to seek to reduce the likelihood that there would be adverse tax consequences to U.S. Persons if the Company were to be characterized as a controlled foreign corporation as defined in the Code. Nevertheless, the Board will not be liable to the Company, its Members or any other Person whatsoever for any errors in judgment made by its interpreting or enforcing this Article or in granting any waiver or waivers to the foregoing restrictions in any case so long as the Board shall have acted in good faith.

96.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Voting of subsidiary shares

Notwithstanding any other provision of these Articles to the contrary, if the Company is required or entitled to vote at general meetings of (i) Greenlight Reinsurance or (ii) any Designated Subsidiary (as defined in Article 97), the Directors shall refer the subject matter of the vote to the Members on a poll and seek authority from the Members to have the Company's corporate representative or proxy vote in favour of the resolution proposed by Greenlight Reinsurance and/or such Designated Subsidiary. The Directors shall cause the Company's corporate representative or proxy to vote the Company's shares in Greenlight Reinsurance and/or such Designated Subsidiary pro rata to the votes received at the general meeting of the Company, with votes for or against the directing resolution being taken, respectively, as an instruction for the Company's corporate representative or proxy to vote the appropriate proportion of its shares for and the appropriate proportion of its shares against the resolution proposed by Greenlight Reinsurance and/or such Designated Subsidiary. All votes referred to the Company's Members pursuant to this Article 96 shall be subject to the voting power restrictions of Articles 12(3), 43(3), and 54 (and the additional restrictions and rights of the Class B Ordinary Shares set forth in Schedule A hereto).

The purpose of the Plan is to assist the Company in attracting, retaining, motivating, and rewarding certain employees, officers, directors, and consultants of the Company and its Affiliates and promoting the creation of long-term value for shareholders of the Company by closely aligning the interests of such individuals with those of such shareholders. The Plan authorizes the award of Share-based and cash-based incentives to Eligible Persons to encourage such Eligible Persons to expend maximum effort in the creation of shareholder value. The Plan shall not terminate, amend or modify any provision of the Prior Plan (defined below) or adversely affect any awards granted under the Prior Plan or rights outstanding under the Prior Plan; provided, however, that, following approval of the Plan by the Company's shareholders, no further awards will be granted under the Prior Plan.

2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Definitions.**

The Committee may appoint agents to assist it in administering the Plan. Any actions taken by an officer or employee delegated authority pursuant to this Section 3(c) within the scope of such delegation shall, for all purposes under the Plan, be deemed to be an action taken by the Committee.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any provision in the Plan that is inconsistent with Section 409A of the Code shall be deemed to be amended to comply with or be exempt from Section 409A of the Code and, to the extent such provision cannot be amended to comply therewith or be exempt therefrom, such provision shall be null and void. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in the Plan or Award Agreement, any payment(s) of "nonqualified deferred compensation" (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) that are otherwise required to be made under the Plan to a "specified employee" (as defined under Section 409A of the Code) as a result of such employee's separation from service (other than a payment that is not subject to Section 409A of the Code) shall be delayed for the first six (6) months following such separation from service (or, if earlier, until the date of death of the specified employee) and shall instead be paid (in a manner set forth in the Award Agreement) upon expiration of such delay period. While the Awards granted hereunder are intended to be structured in a manner to avoid the imposition of any penalty taxes under Sections 409A and 457A of the Code, in no event whatsoever shall the Company or any of its Affiliates be liable for any additional tax, interest, or penalties that may be imposed on a Participant as a result of Section 409A or Section 457A of the Code or any damages for failing to comply with Section 409A or Section 457A of the Code or any similar state or local laws (other than for withholding obligations or other obligations applicable to employers, if any, under Section 409A or Section 457A of the Code).

Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted to Eligible Persons in such form and having such terms and conditions as the Committee shall deem appropriate. The provisions of separate Stock Appreciation Rights shall be set forth in separate SAR Agreements, which SAR Agreements need not be identical.

The term of each Stock Appreciation Right shall be set by the Committee at the time of grant; *provided, however*, that no Stock Appreciation Right granted hereunder shall be exercisable after, and each Stock Appreciation Right shall expire, ten years from the date it was granted.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Base Price</u>. The base price per Share for each Stock Appreciation Right shall be set by the Committee at the time of grant and shall not be less than the Fair Market Value on the date of grant.

To the extent permitted by applicable law and unless otherwise determined by the Committee, vesting shall be suspended during the period of any approved unpaid leave of absence by a Participant following which the Participant has a right to reinstatement and shall resume upon such Participant's return to active employment. If a Stock Appreciation Right is exercisable in installments, such installments, or portions thereof that become exercisable shall remain exercisable until the Stock Appreciation Right expires, is canceled, or otherwise terminates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Payment upon Exercise</u>.

For purposes of clarity, each Share to be issued in settlement of a Stock Appreciation Right is deemed to have a value equal to the Fair Market Value of one Share on the exercise date. In no event shall fractional shares be issuable upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, and in the event that fractional shares would otherwise be issuable, the number of shares issuable will be rounded down to the next lower whole number of shares, and the Participant will be entitled to receive a cash payment equal to the value of such fractional share.

The Committee is authorized, subject to limitations under applicable law, to grant to Participants such other Awards that may be denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based upon or related to Shares, as deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan. The Committee may also grant Shares as a bonus (whether or not subject to any vesting requirements or other restrictions on transfer), and may grant other Awards in lieu of obligations of the Company or an Affiliate to pay cash or deliver other property under the Plan or under other plans or compensatory arrangements, subject to such terms as shall be determined by the Committee.

In lieu of or in addition to any adjustment pursuant to this Section 10, if deemed appropriate, the Committee may provide that an adjustment take the form of a cash payment to the holder of an outstanding Award with respect to all or part of an outstanding Award, which payment shall be subject to such terms and conditions (including timing of payment(s), vesting, and forfeiture conditions) as the Committee may determine in its sole discretion. The Committee will make such adjustments, substitutions, or payment, and its determination will be final, binding, and conclusive.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The acceleration of vesting of any or all Awards not assumed or substituted in connection with such Corporate Event, subject to the consummation of such Corporate Event; *provided* that unless otherwise set forth in an Award Agreement, any Awards that vest subject to the achievement of performance criteria will be deemed earned at target level (or if no target is specified, the maximum level), *provided, further,* that a Participant has not experienced a Termination prior to such Corporate Event;

Payments to holders pursuant to paragraph (3) above shall be made in cash or, in the sole discretion of the Committee, and to the extent applicable, in the form of such other consideration necessary for a Participant to receive property, cash, or securities (or a combination thereof) as such Participant would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of the transaction if the Participant had been, immediately prior to such transaction, the holder of the number of Shares covered by the Award at such time (less any applicable exercise or base price). In addition, in connection with any Corporate Event, prior to any payment or adjustment contemplated under this Section 10(b), the Committee may require a Participant to (A) represent and warrant as to the unencumbered title to his or her Awards; (B) bear such Participant's pro-rata share of any post-closing indemnity obligations, and be subject to the same post-closing purchase price adjustments, escrow terms, offset rights, holdback terms, and similar conditions as the other holders of Shares; and (C) deliver customary transfer documentation as reasonably determined by the Committee.

No cash settlements shall be made with respect to fractional shares so eliminated.

11.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Use of Proceeds.**

The proceeds received from the sale of Shares pursuant to the Plan shall be used for general corporate purposes.

12.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Rights and Privileges as a Shareholder.**

Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan, no Person shall be entitled to the rights and privileges of Share ownership in respect of Shares that are subject to Awards hereunder until such shares have been issued to that Person.

13.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Transferability of Awards.**

Awards may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution, and to the extent subject to exercise, Awards may not be exercised during the lifetime of the grantee other than by the grantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except with

------

respect to Incentive Stock Options, Awards and a Participant's rights under the Plan shall be transferable for no value to the extent provided in an Award Agreement or otherwise determined at any time by the Committee.

14.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Employment or Service Rights.**

No individual shall have any claim or right to be granted an Award under the Plan or, having been selected for the grant of an Award, to be selected for the grant of any other Award. Neither the Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed as giving any Participant or other individual any right to be retained in the employ or service of the Company or an Affiliate of the Company.

15.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Compliance with Laws.**

The obligation of the Company to deliver Shares upon issuance, vesting, exercise, or settlement of any Award shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by governmental agencies as may be required. Notwithstanding any terms or conditions of any Award to the contrary, the Company shall be under no obligation to offer to sell or to sell, and shall be prohibited from offering to sell or selling, any Shares pursuant to an Award, unless such shares have been properly registered for sale with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act (or with a similar non-U.S. regulatory agency pursuant to a similar law or regulation), or unless the Company has received an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to the Company, that such shares may be offered or sold without such registration pursuant to an available exemption therefrom and the terms and conditions of such exemption have been fully complied with. The Company shall be under no obligation to register for sale or resale under the Securities Act any of the Shares to be offered or sold under the Plan or any Shares to be issued upon exercise or settlement of Awards. If the Shares offered for sale or sold under the Plan are offered or sold pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act, the Company may restrict the transfer of such shares and may legend the Share certificates representing such shares in such manner as it deems advisable to ensure the availability of any such exemption.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Withholding Obligations.**

As a condition to the issuance, vesting, exercise, or settlement of any Award (or upon the making of an election under Section 83(b) of the Code), the Committee may require that a Participant satisfy, through deduction or withholding from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Participant, or through such other arrangements as are satisfactory to the Committee, the amount of all federal, state, local and foreign income and other taxes of any kind required or permitted to be withheld in connection with such issuance, vesting, exercise, or settlement (or election). The Committee, in its discretion, may (but is not obligated to) permit or require Shares (which are not subject to any pledge or other security interest) to be used to satisfy all or any portion of applicable tax withholding requirements with respect to any Award, and such shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value as of the issuance, vesting, exercise, or settlement date of the Award, as applicable. The Shares so delivered or withheld must have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the tax obligation (or portion thereof).

17.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Amendment of the Plan or Awards.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)<u>Amendment of Plan</u>. The Board or the Committee may amend the Plan at any time and from time to time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) <u>Amendment of Awards</u>. The Board or the Committee may amend the terms of any one or more Awards at any time and from time to time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) <u>Shareholder Approval; No Material Impairment</u>. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no amendment to the Plan or any Award shall be effective without shareholder approval to the extent that such approval is required pursuant to applicable law or the applicable rules of each national securities exchange on which the Shares are listed. Additionally, no amendment to the Plan or any Award shall materially impair a Participant's rights under any Award unless the Participant consents in writing (it being understood that no action taken by the Board or the Committee that is expressly permitted under the Plan, including, without limitation, any actions described in Section 10 hereof, shall constitute an amendment to the Plan or an Award for such purpose). Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to the limitations of applicable law, if any, and without an affected Participant's consent, the Board or the Committee may amend the terms of the Plan or any one or more Awards from time to time as necessary to bring such Awards into compliance with applicable law, including, without limitation, Section 409A of the Code.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) <u>No Repricing of Awards Without Shareholder Approval</u>. Notwithstanding Sections 17(a) or 17(b) above, or any other provision of the Plan, reducing the exercise price of Options or Stock Appreciation Rights issued and outstanding under the Plan, including through amendment, cancellation in exchange for the grant of a substitute Award, repurchase for cash or other consideration (in each case that has the effect of

------

reducing the exercise price), or any other action that would be treated as a "repricing" of such Options or such Stock Appreciation Rights under GAAP, will require approval of the Company's shareholders, unless the cancellation, exchange, repurchase or other action occurs in connection with an event set forth in Section 10 hereof.

18.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Termination or Suspension of the Plan.**

The Board or the Committee may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. Unless sooner terminated, the Plan shall terminate on the day before the tenth anniversary of the date the shareholders of the Company approve the Plan. No Awards may be granted under the Plan while the Plan is suspended or after it is terminated; *provided, however*, that following any suspension or termination of the Plan, the Plan shall remain in effect for the purpose of governing all Awards then outstanding hereunder until such time as all Awards under the Plan have been terminated, forfeited, or otherwise canceled, or earned, exercised, settled, or otherwise paid out, in accordance with their terms.

19.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Effective Date of the Plan.**

The Plan is effective as of the Effective Date.

20.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Miscellaneous.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Treatment of Dividends and Dividend Equivalents on Unvested Awards</u>. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, with respect to any Award that provides for or includes a right to dividends or dividend equivalents, if dividends are declared during the period that an equity Award is outstanding, such dividends (or dividend equivalents) shall either (i) not be paid or credited with respect to such Award, or (ii) be accumulated but remain subject to vesting requirement(s) to the same extent as the applicable Award and shall only be paid at the time or times such vesting requirement(s) are satisfied. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, no interest will accrue or be paid on the amount of any cash dividends withheld. No dividends or dividend equivalents shall be paid on Options or Stock Appreciation Rights.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) <u>Certificates</u>. Shares acquired pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan may be evidenced in such a manner as the Committee shall determine. If certificates representing Shares are registered in the name of the Participant, the Committee may require that (1) such certificates bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Shares; (2) the Company retain physical possession of the certificates; and (3) the Participant deliver a stock power to the Company, endorsed in blank, relating to the Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may determine, in its sole discretion, that the Shares shall be held in book-entry form rather than delivered to the Participant pending the release of any applicable restrictions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Other Benefits</u>. No Award granted or paid out under the Plan shall be deemed compensation for purposes of computing benefits under any retirement plan of the Company or its Affiliates nor affect any benefits under any other benefit plan now or subsequently in effect under which the availability or amount of benefits is related to the level of compensation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Corporate Action Constituting Grant of Awards</u>. Corporate action constituting a grant by the Company of an Award to any Participant will be deemed completed as of the date of such corporate action, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, regardless of when the instrument, certificate, or letter evidencing the Award is communicated to, or actually received or accepted by, the Participant. In the event that the corporate records (*e*.*g*., Committee consents, resolutions, or minutes) documenting the corporate action constituting the grant contain terms (*e*.g., exercise price, vesting schedule, or number of Shares) that are inconsistent with those in the Award Agreement as a result of a clerical error in connection with the preparation of the Award Agreement, the corporate records will control, and the Participant will have no legally binding right to the incorrect term in the Award Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Clawback/Recoupment Policy</u>. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, all Awards granted under the Plan shall be and remain subject to any incentive compensation clawback or recoupment policy currently in effect or as may be adopted by the Board (or a committee or subcommittee of the Board) and, in each case, as may be amended from time to time. No such policy adoption or amendment shall in any event require the prior consent of any Participant. No recovery of compensation under such a clawback policy will be an event giving rise to a right to resign for "good reason" or "constructive termination" (or similar term) under any agreement with the Company or any of its Affiliates. In the event that an Award is subject to more than one such policy, the policy with the most restrictive clawback or recoupment provisions shall govern such Award, subject to applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Data Privacy</u>. As a condition of receipt of any Award, each Participant explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use, and transfer, in electronic or other form, of personal data as described in this Section 20(f) by and among, as applicable, the Company and its Affiliates, for the exclusive purpose of

------

implementing, administering, and managing the Plan and Awards and the Participant's participation in the Plan. In furtherance of such implementation, administration, and management, the Company and its Affiliates may hold certain personal information about a Participant, including, but not limited to, the Participant's name, home address, telephone number, date of birth, social security or insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title(s), information regarding any securities of the Company or any of its Affiliates, and details of all Awards (the "<u>Data</u>"). In addition to transferring the Data amongst themselves as necessary for the purpose of implementation, administration, and management of the Plan and Awards and the Participant's participation in the Plan, the Company and its Affiliates may each transfer the Data to any third parties assisting the Company in the implementation, administration, and management of the Plan and Awards and the Participant's participation in the Plan. Recipients of the Data may be located in the Participant's country or elsewhere, and the Participant's country and any given recipient's country may have different data privacy laws and protections. By accepting an Award, each Participant authorizes such recipients to receive, possess, use, retain, and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of assisting the Company in the implementation, administration, and management of the Plan and Awards and the Participant's participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required to a broker or other third party with whom the Company or the Participant may elect to deposit any Shares. The Data related to a Participant will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer, and manage the Plan and Awards and the Participant's participation in the Plan. A Participant may, at any time, view the Data held by the Company with respect to such Participant, request additional information about the storage and processing of the Data with respect to such Participant, recommend any necessary corrections to the Data with respect to the Participant, or refuse or withdraw the consents herein in writing, in any case without cost, by contacting his or her local human resources representative. The Company may cancel the Participant's eligibility to participate in the Plan, and in the Committee's discretion, the Participant may forfeit any outstanding Awards if the Participant refuses or withdraws the consents described herein. For more information on the consequences of refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, Participants may contact their local human resources representative.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>No Liability of Committee Members</u>. Neither any member of the Committee nor any of the Committee's permitted delegates shall be liable personally by reason of any contract or other instrument executed by such member or on his or her behalf in his or her capacity as a member of the Committee or for any mistake of judgment made in good faith, and the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each member of the Committee and each other employee, officer, or director of the Company to whom any duty or power relating to the administration or interpretation of the Plan may be allocated or delegated, against all costs and expenses (including counsel fees) and liabilities (including sums paid in settlement of a claim) arising out of any act or omission to act in connection with the Plan, unless arising out of such Person's own fraud or willful misconduct; *provided, however*, that approval of the Board shall be required for the payment of any amount in settlement of a claim against any such Person. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such Persons may be entitled under the Company's certificate or articles of incorporation or by-laws, each as may be amended from time to time, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Payments Following Accidents or Illness</u>. If the Committee shall find that any Person to whom any amount is payable under the Plan is unable to care for his or her affairs because of illness or accident, or is a minor, or has died, then any payment due to such Person or his or her estate (unless a prior claim therefor has been made by a duly appointed legal representative) may, if the Committee so directs the Company, be paid to his or her spouse, child, relative, an institution maintaining or having custody of such Person, or any other Person deemed by the Committee to be a proper recipient on behalf of such Person otherwise entitled to payment. Any such payment shall be a complete discharge of the liability of the Committee and the Company therefor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Governing Law</u>. The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands, without reference to the principles of conflicts of laws thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Electronic Delivery</u>. Any reference herein to a "written" agreement or document or "writing" will include any agreement or document delivered electronically or posted on the Company's intranet (or other shared electronic medium controlled or authorized by the Company to which the Participant has access) to the extent permitted by applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Arbitration</u>. All disputes and claims of any nature that a Participant (or such Participant's transferee or estate) may have against the Company arising out of or in any way related to the Plan or any Award Agreement shall be submitted to and resolved exclusively by binding arbitration conducted in the State of New York (or such other location as the parties thereto may agree) before the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). Such arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with AAA's Employment Arbitration Rules and Procedures, as modified herein, and shall be conducted by a single arbitrator. The arbitrator will apply the law of the Cayman Islands. Except as otherwise set forth below, the arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or adjudicatory authority, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, and/or formation of the Plan or any Award Agreement, including but not limited to any dispute as to

------

whether (i) a particular claim is subject to arbitration hereunder, and/or (ii) any part of this Section 20(k) is void or voidable. The arbitral award shall be in writing, state the reasons for the award, and be final and binding on the parties. Except as otherwise provided herein, a Participant (or such Participant's transferee or estate) shall treat any arbitration as strictly confidential, and shall not disclose the existence or nature of any claim or defense; any documents, correspondence, pleadings, briefing, exhibits, or information exchanged or presented in connection with any claim or defense; or any rulings, decisions, or results of any claim, defense, or argument to any third party, with the exception of legal counsel. The arbitrator shall not have authority to award attorneys' fees or costs, punitive damages, compensatory damages, damages for emotional distress, penalties, or any other damages not measured by the prevailing party's actual losses, except to the extent such relief is explicitly available under a statute, ordinance, or regulation pursuant to which a claim is brought. The arbitrator also shall not have authority to entertain claims for class or collective relief. The parties hereto agree that judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitration panel may be entered in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or any New York state court sitting in the State of New York. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the parties hereby irrevocably waive any right of appeal from any judgment rendered upon any such arbitration award in any such court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any party may seek injunctive relief in any such court.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Statute of Limitations</u>. A Participant or any other person filing a claim for benefits under the Plan must file the claim within one year of the date the Participant or other person knew or should have known of the facts giving rise to the claim. This one-year statute of limitations will apply in any forum where a Participant or any other person may file a claim and, unless the Company waives the time limits set forth above in its sole discretion, any claim not brought within the time periods specified shall be waived and forever barred.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(m)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Funding</u>. No provision of the Plan shall require the Company, for the purpose of satisfying any obligations under the Plan, to purchase assets or place any assets in a trust or other entity to which contributions are made or otherwise to segregate any assets, nor shall the Company be required to maintain separate bank accounts, books, records, or other evidence of the existence of a segregated or separately maintained or administered fund for such purposes. Participants shall have no rights under the Plan other than as unsecured general creditors of the Company, except that insofar as they may have become entitled to payment of additional compensation by performance of services, they shall have the same rights as other employees and service providers under general law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(n)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Reliance on Reports</u>. Each member of the Committee and each member of the Board shall be fully justified in relying, acting, or failing to act, and shall not be liable for having so relied, acted, or failed to act in good faith, upon any report made by the independent public accountant of the Company and its Affiliates and upon any other information furnished in connection with the Plan by any Person or Persons other than such member.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(o)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Titles and Headings</u>. The titles and headings of the sections in the Plan are for convenience of reference only, and in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control.
