FAIRFAX *News Release*

***TSX Stock Symbol: FFH and FFH.U***

**TORONTO, February 27, 2026**

***Not for distribution to U.S. news wire services or dissemination in the United States.***

**FAIRFAX COMPLETES C$650 MILLION SENIOR NOTES OFFERING**

Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited ("Fairfax") (TSX: FFH and FFH.U) has completed its previously announced offering (the "Offering") of (i) C$400 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.40% Senior Notes due 2036 and (ii) an additional C$250 million in aggregate principal amount of its 5.10% Senior Notes due 2055 (collectively, the "Senior Notes"). Together with the previously issued C$300 million aggregate principal amount 5.10% Senior Notes due 2055, there is C$550 million aggregate principal amount of notes of this series outstanding.

The Senior Notes were offered through a syndicate of dealers led by BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc., CIBC World Markets Inc., RBC Dominion Securities Inc. and Scotia Capital Inc., as joint bookrunners, and included Merrill Lynch Canada Inc., National Bank Financial Inc., TD Securities Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Canada Inc., Desjardins Securities Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities Canada Inc., Mizuho Securities Canada Inc. and Morgan Stanley Canada Limited, as agents. The Senior Notes are unsecured obligations of Fairfax.

Fairfax intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to refinance, repay or redeem outstanding debt, equity or other corporate obligations of Fairfax and its subsidiaries, to pursue potential acquisition or investment opportunities (which may include acquisitions of minority interests in its subsidiaries), and for general corporate purposes. This may include the redemption or repurchase of certain of Fairfax's previously issued debt or equity securities. As of the date of this press release, Fairfax has not made any determination as to the specific debt, equity or other corporate obligations to be repaid or redeemed, nor the amount, timing or method of such repurchase or redemption. Similarly, as of the date of this press release, Fairfax has not made any determination as to the specific acquisitions or investment opportunities to be pursued, nor the cost, timing or method of such acquisitions or investments. Any such repurchase, redemption, acquisition or investment will be subject to market conditions. Any proceeds not used to refinance, repay or redeem outstanding debt, equity or other corporate obligations or to pursue potential acquisition or investment opportunities will be used for general corporate purposes, which may include to augment Fairfax's cash position or to increase short-term investments and marketable securities held at the holding company level.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. This press release is not an offer of securities for sale in the United States, and the securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from the registration requirements. The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

COMPUTERSHARE ADVANTAGE TRUST OF CANADA

**Ninth Supplemental Indenture**

Dated as of February 27, 2026

**WITNESSETH:**

**WHEREAS**, the Corporation has heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustees an indenture dated as of December 1, 1993, as supplemented and amended by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 9, 2011 and the Third Supplemental Indenture dated as of February 26, 2021 (the "**Base Indenture**" and, as supplemented and amended by this Ninth Supplemental Indenture with respect to the Notes, the "**Indenture**"), providing for the issuance from time to time of one or more series of Securities;

**WHEREAS**, all the conditions and requirements necessary to make this Ninth Supplemental Indenture, when duly executed and delivered, a valid and binding agreement in accordance with its terms and for the purposes herein expressed, have been performed and fulfilled;

**NOW THEREFORE, THIS NINTH SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE WITNESSETH**:

For and in consideration of the premises, the Corporation and the Trustees mutually covenant and agree for the equal and proportionate benefit of the Holders of the Notes as follows:

**Article 1<br> Definitions AND OTHER PROVISIONS OF GENERAL APPLICATION**

**1.1** **Definitions** 

Except as otherwise expressly provided or unless the context otherwise requires, capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Base Indenture. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of the Base Indenture and this Ninth Supplemental Indenture, the terms of this Ninth Supplemental Indenture shall prevail with respect to the Notes.

"**Business Day**" has the meaning specified in Section 2.4 of this Ninth Supplemental Indenture.

"**Canada Yield Price**" has the meaning specified in Section 2.5.1 of this Ninth Supplemental Indenture.

"**CDS**" means CDS & Co., as nominee of CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc.

"**Electronic Means**" shall mean the following communications methods: e-mail, secure electronic transmission containing applicable authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys issued by either Trustee, or another method or system specified by a Trustee as available for use in connection with its services hereunder.

"**Government of Canada Yield**" has the meaning specified in Section 2.5.1 of this Ninth Supplemental Indenture.

"**Instructions**" has the meaning specified in Section 3.3 of this Ninth Supplemental Indenture.

"**Interest Payment Date**" has the meaning specified in Section 2.4 of this Ninth Supplemental Indenture.

"**Par Call Date**" has the meaning specified in Section 2.5.1 of this Ninth Supplemental Indenture.

"**Regular Record Date**" has the meaning specified in Section 2.4 of this Ninth Supplemental Indenture.

**1.2** **To Be Read with Indenture** 

This Ninth Supplemental Indenture is a supplemental indenture within the meaning of the Base Indenture, and the Base Indenture and this Ninth Supplemental Indenture shall be read together and shall have effect, so far as practicable, as though all the provisions of the Base Indenture and this Ninth Supplemental Indenture were contained in one instrument with respect to the Notes.

**Article 2<br> THE NOTES**

**2.1** **Designation** 

There is hereby authorized to be issued under the Indenture a separate series of Securities designated as "4.40% Senior Notes due 2036" (i.e. the Notes).

**2.2** **Limit to Aggregate Principal Amount and Further Issuance** 

The aggregate principal amount of Notes which may be issued under this Ninth Supplemental Indenture will be unlimited. The Notes shall initially be limited to an aggregate principal amount of Cdn$400,000,000.

The Corporation may from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the Holders of any series of Securities issued under the Indenture, create and issue further Securities of the same series as the Notes issued on the date hereof, ranking *pari passu* with the Notes in all respects and having the same terms as the Notes (except for the issue date, issue price and initial Interest Payment Date following the issue date of such further Notes) and so that such further Notes shall be consolidated and form a single series with, and shall have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as, the Notes issued on the date hereof. Any such further Notes shall rank equally and ratably with the Notes then Outstanding and shall be treated as a single series of Securities for all purposes under the Indenture.

**2.3** **Paying Agent; Place of Payment** 

The Corporation hereby appoints the Canadian Trustee to act as the initial Paying Agent for the Notes. The place of payment for the Notes shall be at the address of the Canadian Trustee, currently located at 88A East Beaver Creek Rd., Richmond Hill, Ontario L4B 4A8.

**2.4** **Interest and Maturity** 

The Notes shall bear interest from the date of issuance at the rate of 4.40% per annum and shall mature on February 27, 2036.

Interest on the Notes will be payable in equal semi-annual installments in arrears on February 27 and August 27 each year that the Notes are outstanding (each, an "**Interest Payment Date**"), commencing August 27, 2026 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, to the persons in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business on the February 14 and August 14, respectively (whether or not a Business Day) preceding the relevant Interest Payment Date (the "**Regular Record Date**").

Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day calendar year. For the purposes only of the disclosure required by the *Interest Act* (Canada), and without affecting the amount of interest payable to any Holder of a Note or the calculation of interest on any Note, the yearly rate of interest to which any rate of interest payable under a Note, which is to be calculated on any basis other than a full calendar year, is equivalent may be determined by multiplying the rate by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the calendar year in which the period for which interest at such rate is payable and the denominator of which is the number of days comprising such other basis.

Principal of and interest on the Notes shall be payable in such coin or currency of Canada as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

If any Interest Payment Date, maturity date or redemption date of the Notes falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the required payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day as if made on the date that the payment was due and no interest shall accrue on that payment for such period from and after that Interest Payment Date, maturity date or redemption date, as the case may be, to the date of that payment on the next succeeding Business Day. The term "**Business Day**" means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, which is not a day on which banking institutions in Toronto, Ontario, are authorized or required by law or executive order to close.

**2.5** **Optional Redemption** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.5.1** The Notes are redeemable at any time prior to November 27, 2035 (the "**Par Call Date**"), at the option of the Corporation, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, on not less than 10 days' nor more than 60 days' prior notice to the Holders of the Notes, upon payment of a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (a) the Canada Yield Price and (b) par, together, in each case, with accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption.

The Notes are redeemable at any time on or after the Par Call Date, at the option of the Corporation, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, on not less than 10 days' nor more than 60 days' prior notice to the Holders of the Notes, upon payment of a Redemption Price equal to par, together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption.

"**Canada Yield Price**" means, in respect of any redemption of the Notes, a price equal to the price of the Notes calculated to provide an annual yield to the Par Call Date equal to the Government of Canada Yield plus 30 basis points, compounded semi-annually and calculated in accordance with generally accepted financial practice on the Business Day preceding the date on which the Corporation gives notice of redemption pursuant to the Indenture and as provided herein.

"**Government of Canada Yield**" on any date means the yield to the Par Call Date on such date, compounded semi-annually and calculated in accordance with generally accepted financial practice, which a non-callable Government of Canada Bond would carry if issued, in Canadian dollars in Canada, at 100% of its principal amount on such date with a term to maturity equal to the remaining term to the Par Call Date. In calculating the Government of Canada Yield for purposes of a redemption of the Notes, the Corporation will use the average of the bid-side yields provided by two major Canadian investment dealers selected by the Corporation.

The Corporation's actions and determinations in determining any Redemption Price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

**2.6** **Selection and Notice of Redemption** 

In the case of a partial redemption, selection of the Notes for redemption will be made in accordance with the policies and procedures of the depositary.

No Notes of a principal amount of Cdn$1,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. If any Notes are to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to the Notes shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon surrender for cancellation of the original Note. For so long as the Notes are held by CDS (or another depositary) the selection of partially redeemed Notes and the redemption of the Notes shall be conducted in accordance with the policies and procedures of the depositary.

Unless the Corporation defaults in payment of the applicable Redemption Price, on and after the applicable Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.

Any redemption of the Notes may, at the option of the Corporation, be made subject to conditions and, in such case, the notice of redemption shall state that such redemption shall be conditional upon the occurrence of any event (including a financing, asset disposition or other transaction) and that if such event does not occur, or the occurrence of such event as a condition to the redemption is not waived by the Corporation in its sole discretion, on or prior to the date fixed for such redemption, then such notice shall be of no force or effect and the Corporation shall not be required to redeem the Notes. In the event that such notice of redemption contains such a condition and such condition is not satisfied or waived by the Corporation in its sole discretion, the redemption shall not be made and within a reasonable time thereafter notice shall be given, in the manner in which the notice of redemption was given, that such condition was not satisfied or waived and such redemption was not required to be made, and the Trustee shall promptly return to the Holders thereof any such Notes which had been surrendered for payment upon such redemption. Once a notice of redemption is given in accordance herewith, subject to satisfaction or waiver of any condition specified in such notice, the Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the applicable Redemption Date.

**2.7** **Co-Obligors and/or Guarantors** 

When authorized by a Board Resolution of the Corporation and without the consent of any Holders of the Notes, the Corporation and the Trustees may enter into a supplemental indenture to the Indenture in respect of the Notes (but not with respect to any other series of outstanding Securities), in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, for the purpose of adding one or more subsidiaries of the Corporation as a co-obligor (whether as an additional issuer or a guarantor) (each, a "**Co-Obligor**") of the Notes and the Indenture with respect to the Notes; provided that any such Co-Obligor shall be organized or formed under the laws of (1) any state of the United States or the District of Columbia, (2) Canada or any province or territory thereof, (3) the United Kingdom, (4) Bermuda, (5) Barbados or (6) any country that is a member of the European Union. Any such Co-Obligor shall be jointly and severally liable with the Corporation to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and all other amounts payable by the Corporation under the Indenture in respect of the Notes. The Corporation shall only add a Co-Obligor of the Notes if the Corporation determines that adding a Co-Obligor would (i) not result in a disposition of the Notes by any Holder for Canadian federal income tax purposes and (ii) not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of any outstanding series of Securities under the Indenture in any material respect.

**2.8** **Mergers, Consolidations, Etc.** 

With respect to the Notes, Section 801 of the Base Indenture is hereby amended and restated as follows (additions marked in ***bold italics***; deletions in *strikethrough italics*):

"SECTION 801. Corporation May Consolidate, etc., Only on Certain Terms. The Corporation ***and/or any Co-Obligor*** shall not amalgamate or consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any other Person, unless:

 supplemental hereto, executed and delivered to the Trustees, in form satisfactory to the

 Corporation  ***or the Co-Obligor (as applicable)*** has delivered to the Trustees
 an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such amalgamation,

**2.9** **Successors upon Mergers, Consolidations, Etc.**

Upon any amalgamation or consolidation by the Corporation ***and/or any Co-Obligor*** with or merger by the Corporation ***and/or any Co-Obligor*** into any other corporation or any conveyance, transfer or lease of the properties and assets of the Corporation ***and/or any Co-Obligor*** substantially as an entirety in accordance with Section 801, the successor Person formed by such amalgamation or consolidation or into which the Corporation ***and/or any Co-Obligor (as applicable)*** is merged or the successor Person to which such conveyance, transfer or lease is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Corporation ***and/or any Co-Obligor (as applicable)*** under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named as the Corporation herein, and in the event of any such conveyance or transfer, the Corporation ***and/or any Co-Obligor (as applicable)*** (which term***, in either case,*** shall for this purpose mean the Person named as the "Corporation" in the first paragraph of this Indenture or any successor Person which shall theretofore become such in the manner described in Section 801), except in the case of a lease, shall be discharged of all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the Securities and may be dissolved and liquidated."

The Event of Default in respect of the Notes are as set forth in Section 501 of the Base Indenture, except as modified below.

**Annex A**

**Form of the Notes**

Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized representative of CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. ("**CDS**") to Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and any certificate issued in respect thereof is registered in the name of CDS & Co., or in such other name as requested by an authorized representative of CDS (and any payment is made to CDS & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative of CDS), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL since the registered holder hereof, CDS & CO., has a property interest in the securities represented by this certificate herein and it is a violation of its rights for another person to hold, transfer or deal with this certificate.

**FAIRFAX FINANCIAL HOLDINGS LIMITED**<br> (Organized under the laws of Canada)

4.40% SENIOR NOTES DUE 2036

Cdn$ ●

 ISIN: CA303901CB62

Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of Canada (herein called the "**Corporation**", which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CDS & Co., or its registered assigns, the principal sum of ● MILLION CANADIAN DOLLARS (CDN$●) (as may be modified by the Schedule of Increases and Decreases of Global Security attached hereto) on February 27, 2036 at the office or agency of the Corporation maintained for such purpose in the City of Toronto, Ontario, and to pay interest semi-annually in arrears on February 27 and August 27 in each year that the Securities of this series is outstanding (each, an "**Interest Payment Date**"), commencing August 27, 2026, from February 27, 2026 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, at the rate of 4.40% per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or duly provided for. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be February 14 or August 14 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding the relevant Interest Payment Date for the Securities of this series. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustees (as defined below), notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, all as more fully provided in said Indenture.

Interest on this Security will be computed on the basis of a 365-day calendar year.

This Security is one of the duly authorized Securities of the Corporation (herein called the "**Securities**"), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an indenture dated as of December 1, 1993 (the "**Base Indenture**"), among the Corporation, The Bank of New York Mellon, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of New York, as the successor U.S. trustee (herein called the "**U.S. Trustee**", which term includes any successor U.S. trustee under the Indenture with respect to the Securities in this series), and Computershare Advantage Trust of Canada (formerly BNY Trust Company of Canada), a trust company duly incorporated and existing under the laws of Canada, as the successor Canadian trustee (herein called the "**Canadian Trustee**", which term includes any successor Canadian trustee under the Indenture with respect to the Securities of this series, and, collectively with the U.S. Trustee, the "**Trustees**") as amended by the first supplemental indenture dated as of May 9, 2011 (the "**First Supplemental Indenture**"), the third supplemental indenture dated as of February 26, 2021 (the "**Third Supplemental Indenture**") and the ninth supplemental indenture dated as of February 27, 2026 (the "**Ninth Supplemental Indenture**" and together with the Base Indenture, the First Supplemental Indenture and the Third Supplemental Indenture, the "**Indenture**") to which reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Corporation, the Trustees and the Holders of the Securities, and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the Securities of the series designated as 4.40% Senior Notes due 2036, unlimited in aggregate principal amount. Additional Securities of this series may be issued by the Corporation from time to time.

The Securities of this series will be direct, unsecured obligations of the Corporation and will rank equally and ratably with all of the Corporation's other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The Securities of this series will rank among themselves equally and ratably without preference or priority.

The Corporation is subject to certain covenants as described in the Indenture. If an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series (as described in Section 2.10 of the Ninth Supplemental Indenture) shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

The Securities of this series are redeemable at the Redemption Price as described in Section 2.5.1 of the Ninth Supplemental Indenture and will be subject to the terms of any applicable supplemental indenture entered into as contemplated in Section 2.7 of the Ninth Supplemental Indenture and as described in such applicable supplemental indenture.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registerable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Corporation in any place where the principal of and interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Corporation, the Security Registrar and any transfer agent duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing with such signature guaranteed by a commercial bank reasonably acceptable to the Security Registrar or by a member of a national securities exchange, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series for the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of Cdn$1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations herein and therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

**<u>Modifications and Amendments</u>**

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Corporation and the Trustees to enter into supplemental indentures to the Indenture for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities under the Indenture with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of all Outstanding Securities to be affected. The Indenture also permits the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of all Outstanding Securities affected, on behalf of the Holders of all such Securities, to waive compliance by the Corporation with certain provisions of the Indenture. In addition, the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Securities of such series (or, in some cases, the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of all Outstanding Securities, on behalf of the Holders of all such Securities) may waive certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver shall be conclusive and binding upon the Holder of this Security and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security or any such other Security.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Corporation, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest on this Security as herein provided and at the place, rate and respective times, and in the coin or currency, herein and in the Indenture prescribed.

**<u>Defined Terms</u>**

Unless otherwise defined herein, all terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. To the extent that any term of this Security conflicts with any term of the Indenture, the term of this Security shall supersede and replace the applicable term of the Indenture with respect to the Securities of this series (but not the Securities of any other series). Each Holder of this Security, by accepting the same, agrees to and shall be bound by the provisions of the Indenture.

**<u>Governing Law</u>**

This Security shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

**<u>Authentication</u>**

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been manually executed by or on behalf of either the U.S. Trustee or the Canadian Trustee, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefits under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.
