THIRD POINT RE 1

A Message
from the Chairman
and CEO

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

IN 2014 WE CONTINUED TO MAKE PROGRESS IN ESTABLISHING OUR TOTAL RETURN

STRATEGY OF COMBINING BEST-IN-CLASS UNDERWRITING WITH BEST-IN-CLASS

INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT:

• We increased Gross Written Premium in our P&C Segment by 53% to $601.3 million;

• Our combined ratio improved to 102.2% from 107.5% in 2013. In the fourth quarter of 2014

our combined ratio was 100.2%. It is important to remember that we are not writing property

catastrophe excess of loss business. Given our investment strategy, we are not putting this

potentially volatile business on our balance sheet. The writers of this business have benefited

from several years of very low catastrophe activity, which has greatly improved their combined

ratios. As a result, in periods of low catastrophe activity our combined ratio will be higher than

the market average, and in times of normal to high catastrophe activity, our combined ratio

will be lower than the market average;

• Total invested assets increased to $1.8 billion from $1.6 billion; and

• After posting very strong returns in 2013 and 2012 of 23.9% and 17.7%, respectively, Third Point

LLC produced a more modest 5.1% return in 2014, which brings our 3-year annualized investment

return to 15%. Third Point LLC has produced an annualized return of 21% over the past 20 years

and our assets are managed on a “pari passu” basis with their other fund portfolios, subject to

certain exceptions.

With the recent wave of consolidations, we are one of the few remaining independent reinsurers

that are not part of a larger insurance group. While the market is competitive, especially in the

short tail commodity areas such as property catastrophe coverage, we are well positioned to

provide custom solutions to other segments of the market. This is due to the quality and reputations

of our people, and ceding companies preferring to deal with reinsurers that do not also compete

with them. The combination of our independence, our people, and companies looking for new

solutions has translated into a robust pipeline of opportunities.

2 2014 ANNUAL REPORT

Our Underwriting Strategy

Our business model provides us with crucial flexibility in today’s market
environment, allowing us to focus on custom transactions to best meet
each client’s specific needs.

• We leverage strong relationships to access attractive opportunities

• We are the lead underwriter on most of our transactions

• We assume very limited property catastrophe exposure

We have recently established a US-based underwriting operation. The purpose of forming the

company is to have greater access to business through a physical presence in the US. We decided

to form a second Bermuda-based reinsurance subsidiary that will be a US taxpayer under a 953(d)

election. Third Point Reinsurance (USA) Ltd. has an “A-” (excellent) AM Best rating. The advantages

of this type of formation are:

• Our underwriters can market and underwrite in the US;

• We have no restrictions on how our assets are invested; and

• We can use our existing Bermuda-based finance, accounting, and legal resources

for the new company.

Once again, I want to thank our shareholders and clients for their support. As we enter into our

fourth year of existence, we are optimistic that our total return model is a winning strategy, and

we will continue to see promising opportunities in 2015 and beyond.

(1) In an insurance or reinsurance operation, float arises because premiums and proceeds associated with deposit accounted reinsurance contracts are collected before losses are
paid. Although float can be calculated using numbers determined under U.S. GAAP, float is a non-GAAP financial measure and, therefore, there is no comparable U.S. GAAP
measure. Our float balance as of year-end 2012, 2013 and 2014 was $63.9 million, $214.9 million and $389.2 million, respectively.

(2) Diluted Book Value Per Share is a non-GAAP financial measure. Please see the disclosure on non-GAAP Financial Measures included in Part II, Item 7, Management’s Discussion

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained or incorporated in this Annual Report include forward-looking statements. These
forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding our industry, business strategy, plans, goals and
expectations concerning our market position, international expansion, future operations, margins, profitability, future
efficiencies, capital expenditures, liquidity and capital resources and other financial and operating information. When used in
this discussion, the words “may,” “believes,” “intends,” “seeks,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “estimates,” “expects,” “should,”
“assumes,” “continues,” “could,” “will,” “future” and the negative of these or similar terms and phrases are intended to
identify forward-looking statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Forward-looking statements reflect our current expectations regarding future events, results or outcomes. These
expectations may or may not be realized. Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements
are reasonable, we can give you no assurance these expectations will prove to have been correct. Some of these expectations
may be based upon assumptions, data or judgments that prove to be incorrect. Actual events, results and outcomes may differ
materially from our expectations due to a variety of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors. Although it is
not possible to identify all of these risks and factors, they include, among others, the following:

•

limited historical information about us;

operational structure currently is being developed;

fluctuation in results of operations;

more established competitors;

losses exceeding reserves;

downgrades or withdrawal of ratings by rating agencies;

dependence on key executives;

dependence on letter of credit facilities that may not be available on commercially acceptable terms;

potential inability to pay dividends;

inability to service our indebtedness;

limited cash flow and liquidity due to our indebtedness;

unavailability of capital in the future;

fluctuations in market price of our common shares;

dependence on clients’ evaluations of risks associated with such clients’ insurance underwriting;

suspension or revocation of our reinsurance license;

potentially being deemed an investment company under U.S. federal securities law;

potential characterization of Third Point Reinsurance Ltd. and/or Third Point Reinsurance Company Ltd. as
a PFIC;

dependence on Third Point LLC to implement our investment strategy;

•

termination by Third Point LLC of our investment management agreements;

risks associated with our investment strategy being greater than those faced by competitors;

increased regulation or scrutiny of alternative investment advisers affecting our reputation;

Third Point Reinsurance Ltd. potentially becoming subject to United States federal income taxation;

Third Point Reinsurance Ltd. potentially becoming subject to U.S. withholding and information reporting
requirements under the FATCA provisions;

other risks and factors listed under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Annual Report.

Any one of these factors or a combination of these factors could materially affect our financial condition or future
results of operations and could influence whether any forward-looking statements contained in this report ultimately prove to
be accurate. Our forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and you should not place undue
reliance on them. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made and we undertake no obligation to update or
revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

In addition, while we do, from time to time, communicate with security analysts, it is against our policy to disclose
to them any material non-public information or other confidential information. Accordingly, shareholders should not assume
that we agree with any statement or report issued by any analyst irrespective of the content of the statement or report. Thus,
to the extent that reports issued by securities analysts contain any projections, forecasts, or opinions, such reports are not our
responsibility.

Item 1. Business

Overview

PART I.

We are a holding company domiciled in Bermuda. Through our reinsurance subsidiaries, we provide property and
casualty reinsurance coverage to insurance and reinsurance companies on a worldwide basis. Our goal is to deliver attractive
equity returns to shareholders by combining profitable reinsurance underwriting with superior investment management
provided by Third Point LLC, our investment manager. We believe that our reinsurance and investment strategy
differentiates us from our competitors.

Our reinsurance strategy is to be highly opportunistic and disciplined. During periods of extremely competitive or
soft reinsurance market conditions, we intend to be selective with regard to the amount and type of reinsurance we write and
conserve our risk-taking capital for periods when market conditions are more favorable to us from a pricing and terms and
conditions perspective.

Substantially all of our investable assets are managed by our investment manager, Third Point LLC, which is wholly
owned by Daniel S. Loeb, one of our founding shareholders. Third Point LLC is an SEC-registered investment adviser
headquartered in New York, managing $16.8 billion in assets as of December 31, 2014. We directly own our investments,
which are held in separate accounts and are managed by Third Point LLC on substantially the same basis as its main hedge
funds, including Third Point Partners L.P., the original Third Point LLC hedge fund.

We were incorporated on October 6, 2011 and completed our initial capitalization transaction on December 22, 2011
with $784.3 million of equity capital, and commenced underwriting business on January 1, 2012. In January 2012, we
received an A- (Excellent) financial strength rating from A.M. Best Company, Inc., or A.M. Best.

On August 20, 2013, we completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) of 24,832,484 common shares at an offering
price of $12.50 per share. The net proceeds to us of the offering were $286.0 million, after deducting offering costs. Our
common shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “TPRE”.

On June 15, 2012, Third Point Reinsurance Opportunities Fund Ltd. (the “Catastrophe Fund”), Third Point
Reinsurance Investment Management Ltd. (the “Catastrophe Fund Manager”), and Third Point Re Cat Ltd. (the “Catastrophe
Reinsurer”) were incorporated in Bermuda. We subsequently announced a strategic arrangement with Hiscox Insurance
Company (Bermuda) Limited (“Hiscox”) to launch a collateralized catastrophe reinsurance underwriting fund management
business through these entities. The Catastrophe Fund Manager, a Bermuda exempted company, is the investment manager of
the Catastrophe Fund. In December 2014, we announced that we would no longer accept investments in the Catastrophe
Fund, that no new business would be written in the Catastrophe Reinsurer and that we would be redeeming all existing
investments in the Catastrophe Fund. The Catastrophe Fund Manager will continue to manage the runoff of the remaining
exposure in the Catastrophe Fund.

On August 2, 2012, we established a wholly-owned subsidiary in the United Kingdom, Third Point Re Marketing
(UK) Limited (“TPRUK”). On May 20, 2013, TPRUK was licensed as an insurance intermediary by the UK Financial
Conduct Authority.

In February 2015, we began reinsurance operations in the United States through Third Point Re USA, a Bermuda
company licensed as a Class 4 insurer and a wholly owned operating subsidiary of Third Point Re (USA) Holdings Inc.
(“TPRUSA”). Third Point Re USA has not conducted any operations to date and TPRUSA’s only operations to date relate to
accessing financing on behalf of Third Point Re USA. As a result, Third Point Re USA and TPRUSA have a limited
operating history and are exposed to volatility in their results of operations. Period to period comparisons of their results of
operations may not be meaningful. Third Point Re USA expects to provide reinsurance products that are substantially similar
to the reinsurance products currently provided by Third Point Re. Third Point Re USA’s U.S. presence is a strategic
component of our overall growth strategy. As a result of Third Point Re USA’s U.S. presence, we expect to strengthen our
relationships with U.S. cedents and brokers. We also expect to develop a firsthand understanding of cedent underwriting and
claims capabilities that will benefit our underwriting practices.

Our management team is led by John R. Berger, a highly-respected reinsurance industry veteran with over 30 years
of experience, the majority of which was spent as the principal executive officer of three successful reinsurance companies.
In addition, we have recruited a management team around Mr. Berger that also has significant senior leadership and

underwriting experience in the reinsurance industry. We believe that our experience and longstanding relationships with our
insurance company clients, senior reinsurance brokers, insurance regulators and credit rating agencies are an important
competitive advantage.

For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, we generated net income of $50.4 million, $227.3 million
and $99.4 million, respectively, which represented a return on beginning shareholders’ equity attributable to shareholders of
3.6%, 23.4% and 13.0%, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, our gross premiums written
totaled $613.3 million, $401.9 million and $190.4 million, respectively. Our combined ratio for our property and casualty
reinsurance segment for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 was 102.2%, 107.5% and 129.7%, respectively.
As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, we had net investments managed by Third Point LLC of $1,802.2 million and $1,559.4
million, respectively, and shareholders’ equity attributable to shareholders of $1,451.9 million and $1,391.7 million,
respectively.

Segment Information

Under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), operating segments are based on the internal
information that management uses for allocating resources and assessing performance as the source of our reportable
segments. We report two operating segments - Property and Casualty Reinsurance and Catastrophe Risk Management. We
have also identified a corporate function that includes our investment results and certain general and administrative expenses
related to corporate activities. For more information, see Note 22 of our audited consolidated financial statements included
elsewhere in this Annual Report.

U.S. Operations

In February 2015, we began reinsurance operations in the United States through Third Point Re USA, a Bermuda
company licensed as a Class 4 insurer and a wholly owned operating subsidiary of TPRUSA. TPRUSA is a wholly owned
subsidiary of Third Point Re (UK) Holdings Ltd., a private company limited by shares organized under the laws of England
and Wales and our direct wholly owned subsidiary.

Third Point Re USA has not conducted any operations to date and TPRUSA’s only operations to date relate to
accessing financing on behalf of Third Point Re USA. As a result, Third Point Re USA and TPRUSA have a limited
operating history and are exposed to volatility in their results of operations. Period to period comparisons of their results of
operations may not be meaningful.

Third Point Re USA expects to provide reinsurance products that are substantially similar to the reinsurance
products currently provided by Third Point Re. In order to support these new reinsurance operations, Third Point Re USA
expects to enter into a quota share reinsurance agreement with Third Point Re, pursuant to which Third Point Re would
assume 75% of premium and losses for Third Point Re USA’s portfolio of reinsurance contracts. Third Point Re USA also
has entered into a net worth maintenance agreement with the Company, pursuant to which the Company has agreed to
commit funds sufficient to maintain a minimum level of capital at Third Point Re USA of $250 million. In addition, Third
Point Re USA expects to enter into a services agreement with the Company, pursuant to which the Company would agree to
provide certain finance, legal and general and administrative support services.

Third Point Re USA has entered into a joint venture and investment management agreement with Third Point LLC
and Third Point Advisors LLC under substantially similar terms to the current investment management agreement with Third
Point Re. In addition, Third Point Re USA has become a party to the Founders Agreement dated as of December 22, 2011
among Third Point Re and several affiliates of the Company.

Third Point Re USA’s U.S. presence is a strategic component of our overall growth strategy. As a result of Third
Point Re USA’s U.S. presence, we expect to strengthen our relationships with U.S. cedents and brokers. We also expect to
develop a firsthand understanding of cedent underwriting and claims capabilities that will benefit our underwriting practices.

As a result of Third Point Re USA’s activities in the United States, we expect that Third Point Re USA will be
subject to U.S. federal income taxation on its net income. However, we believe that our current activities, notwithstanding
activities conducted through Third Point Re USA, will not cause the Company to be treated as engaging in a U.S. trade or
business and will not cause the Company otherwise to be subject to current U.S. federal income taxation on its consolidated
net income.

Reinsurance Strategy

Our reinsurance strategy is to build a portfolio that generates stable underwriting profits, with margins
commensurate with the amount of risk assumed, by opportunistically targeting sub-sectors of the market and specific
situations where reinsurance capacity and alternatives may be constrained. Our management team has differentiated expertise
that allows us to identify profitable reinsurance opportunities. The level of volatility in our reinsurance portfolio will be
determined by market conditions, but will typically be lower than that of most other reinsurance companies. We manage
reinsurance volatility by focusing on lines of business that have historically demonstrated more stable return characteristics,
such as limited catastrophe exposed property, which we refer to as “property quota share”, auto, workers’ compensation
quota share, and certain segments of multi-line specialty. These lines of business are often characterized as having exposure
to higher frequency and lower severity claims activity. We seek to further manage the volatility of our reinsurance results by
writing reinsurance contracts on a quota share basis, where we assume an agreed percentage of premiums and losses for a
portfolio of insurance policies. We also make use of contractual terms and conditions within our reinsurance contracts that
include individual or aggregate loss occurrence limits, which limit the dollar amount of loss that we can incur from a
particular occurrence or series of occurrences within the term of a reinsurance contract; loss ratio caps, which limit the
maximum loss we can incur pursuant to a contract to a defined loss ratio; sliding scale commissions that vary in accordance
with the client’s performance; and sub-limits and exclusions for specific risks not covered by a particular reinsurance
contract.

We also write reinsurance contracts that provide protection against adverse development on loss reserves where we
provide an incremental amount of additional coverage limit. We typically provide coverage where we agree with the client’s
reserving practices and reserve levels or where we believe there are structural or contractual safeguards in place. While these
transactions are usually recorded at or close to a 100% composite ratio (combined ratio before general and administrative
expenses) and therefore do not initially generate underwriting income, they produce premiums equal to the reserves at the
inception of the contract. In some instances, the level of risk in the reserve cover contract or the risk mitigating features
within the contract including limitations on the amount and timing of loss payments require us to account for the contract as a
deposit liability contract. Using the deposit method of accounting, a deposit liability, rather than written premium, is initially
recorded based upon the consideration received less any explicitly identified premiums or fees. In subsequent periods, the
deposit liability is adjusted by calculating the effective yield on the deposit to reflect actual payments to date and future
expected payments.

We typically write larger customized reinsurance contracts that require significant interaction during the course of
negotiations between the client, intermediaries and us. We take a lead underwriting position on most of our reinsurance
contracts, meaning that we establish the pricing and terms and conditions of the reinsurance contract. In certain instances, we
will follow terms and conditions established by our competitors if we believe the opportunity meets our return hurdles and
helps us balance our reinsurance portfolio.

Our property and casualty reinsurance operations generate excess cash flows, or float, which we track in managing
our business. We believe that continuing to seek net investment income from float is a key part of our reinsurance strategy
and an important consideration in evaluating the overall contribution of our property and casualty reinsurance operations to
our consolidated results.

Despite challenging market conditions, we have grown our underwriting due to the strength of our relationships. We
began underwriting on January 1, 2012 and continue to cultivate our underwriting relationships with intermediaries and
reinsurance buyers and, as a result, we believe submission flow remains strong. We write a small number of large contracts
and, as a result individual renewals or new business can have a significant impact on premiums recognized in a period. In
addition, our contracts are subject to significant judgment in the amount of premiums that we expect to recognize. Changes in
premium estimates are recorded in the period they are determined and can significantly alter the expected value of a
particular reinsurance contract. We also offer customized solutions to our clients, including adverse development covers,
which are considered retroactive reinsurance contracts, on which we will not have a regular renewal opportunity.
Furthermore, we record gross premiums written and earned for adverse development covers at the inception of the contract.
Together these factors can impact the comparability of premiums earned in a period and trends from period to period and
year over year.

As we expand our business over time, we expect that the proportion of total gross premiums written represented by
individual contracts will decline. See Note 22 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this
Annual Report for a breakdown of contracts that individually contributed more than 10% of total gross premiums written.

We intend to grow our book of business by underwriting a mix of short to medium tail personal and commercial
lines. We intend to increase our geographic spread over time by adding reinsurance programs from Europe, Asia and other
regions; however, we expect that a majority of our reinsurance business will continue to be composed of U.S. exposure. See
Note 22 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for a breakdown of gross
premiums written by domicile of ceding companies.

Many of our clients buy reinsurance from us for capital management purposes, primarily to increase their capacity to
write insurance premium and maintain or improve their credit ratings. The most common form of reinsurance used for this
purpose is quota share reinsurance. Many of the clients that buy these contracts are growing as a result of securing primary
rate increases and an increase in the number of policies they write. Because quota share reinsurance typically includes
structural and contractual features that limit the amount of risk assumed by the reinsurer, it therefore carries relatively lower
expected margins than excess of loss reinsurance and other more volatile forms of reinsurance. During periods of less
favorable market conditions, margins on quota share reinsurance written for the capital management purposes of our clients
typically remain relatively stable and are sufficient to support our business plan. As market conditions improve, we may
expand the lines of business and forms of reinsurance on which we focus to increase our risk-adjusted returns.

In contrast to many reinsurers with whom we compete, we have elected to limit our underwriting of property
catastrophe exposures. Through December 2014, we wrote excess of loss catastrophe reinsurance through the Catastrophe
Fund, which is a separately capitalized reinsurance fund vehicle. In December 2014, we announced that we would no longer
accept investments in the Catastrophe Fund, that no new business would be written in the Catastrophe Reinsurer and that we
would be redeeming all existing investments in the Catastrophe Fund. As of December 31, 2014, our financial exposure to
the higher volatility and liquidity risks associated with property catastrophe losses was generally limited to our investment in
the Catastrophe Fund, which as of December 31, 2014 was $59.5 million. In January 2015, we received $21.1 million from a
partial redemption of our investment in the Catastrophe Fund.

As there are no additional guarantees or recourse to us from these funds beyond the amounts of our investments, we
anticipate that our property catastrophe exposures will consistently remain relatively low when compared to our competitors.

Since we focus on lines of business that have historically demonstrated more stable return characteristics and limit
our underwriting of property catastrophe exposure, we do not manage our reinsurance portfolio to any particular breakdown
by line of business. The following table provides a breakdown by line of business of gross premiums written for the years
ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012:

Investment Strategy

Our investment strategy distinguishes us from most other reinsurers, who typically concentrate their investment
portfolios on long-only, investment grade, shorter-term, fixed income securities. As implemented by our investment manager,
Third Point LLC, our investment strategy is intended to achieve superior risk-adjusted returns by deploying capital in both
long and short investments with favorable risk/reward characteristics across select asset classes, sectors and geographies.
Third Point LLC identifies investment opportunities via a bottom-up, value-oriented approach to single security analysis
supplemented by a top-down view of portfolio and risk management. Third Point LLC seeks dislocations in certain areas of
the capital markets or in the pricing of particular securities and supplements single security analysis with an approach to
portfolio construction that includes sizing each investment based on upside/downside calculations, all with a view towards
appropriately positioning and managing overall exposures. Dislocations in capital markets refer to any major movements in
prices of the capital markets as a whole, certain segments of the market, or a specific security. If Third Point LLC has what it
considers to be a differentiated view from the perceived market sentiment with respect to such movement, Third Point LLC
may trade securities in our investment account based on that differentiated view. If the ultimate market reaction with respect
to the event or movement ultimately proves to be closer to Third Point LLC’s original viewpoint, we may have investment
gains in our investment portfolio as a result of the shift in market sentiment. Through our investment manager, Third Point
LLC, we make investments globally, in both developed and emerging markets, in all sectors, and in equity, credit,
commodity, currency, options and other instruments.

Third Point LLC has historically favored event-driven situations, in which it believes that a catalyst, either intrinsic
or extrinsic, will unlock value or alter the lens through which the greater market values a particular investment. Third Point
LLC attempts to apply this event framework to each of its single security investments and this approach informs the timing
and risk of each investment.

As our investment manager, Third Point LLC has the contractual right to manage substantially all of our investable
assets pursuant to an investment management agreement that has an initial term expiring on December 22, 2016, subject to
automatic renewal for additional successive three-year terms unless a party notifies the other parties of its intention to
terminate at least six months prior to the end of a term. We expect that this agreement will be renewed in 2016. On January
28, 2015, we entered into a second investment management agreement for Third Point Re USA on substantially the same
terms and conditions as our existing investment management agreement for Third Point Re. See “Joint Venture and
Investment Management Agreements.” Under these two investment management agreements, Third Point LLC is required to
follow our investment guidelines and to act in a manner that is fair and equitable in allocating investment opportunities to us.
However, it is not otherwise restricted with respect to the nature or timing of making investments for our separate accounts.
Our investment guidelines require Third Point LLC to manage our investment portfolio on a substantially equivalent basis to
its main funds; but in any event to keep at least 60% of the investment portfolio in debt and equity securities, cash, cash
equivalents or precious metals; limit single position concentration to no more than 15% of the portfolio assets managed; and
limit net exposure to no greater than 1.5 times portfolio assets managed for more than 10 trading days in any 30-day period.
Net exposure represents the short exposure subtracted from the long exposure in a given category. We have the contractual
right to withdraw funds from our managed accounts to pay claims and expenses as needed. The net investment return on
investments managed by Third Point LLC for the year ended December 31, 2014 was 5.1% (2013 - 23.9% and 2012 -
17.7%).

Property and Casualty Segment Products

Our underwriting team has extensive experience in underwriting many forms of property and casualty reinsurance
products. In the current market, which we categorize as being highly competitive, we expect that our focus will continue to be
on property and casualty quota share treaties which may consist of broadly syndicated surplus relief quota share contracts,
which we commonly refer to as traditional quota shares, as well as more opportunistic business opportunities. We also
consider loss portfolio transfers, aggregate stop loss covers and other forms of reserve covers where we are able to apply our
investment capabilities. Expected margins on traditional quota share reinsurance, which are generally purchased for capital
management purposes by our clients, are typically lower than on opportunistic business contracts’ but are commensurate with
the level of risk underwritten. However, quota share margins remain relatively stable and are sufficient to support our
business plan even during periods of less favorable market conditions such as those being experienced currently. We have
generally achieved higher margins from opportunistic contracts where we are providing capital to a dislocated market, such
as workers’ compensation in certain states, mortgage insurance or where we can address a unique client problem. We believe
there is less competition on reserve covers due to limited willingness of traditional reinsurers, who have historically
experienced lower investment returns on investable assets backing reserves, to pursue these lower margin products. Margins
on this business are determined through bilateral negotiations and comparing the cost of the reserve cover to non-reinsurance

solutions such as raising additional equity or debt capital. As market conditions improve, we may expand the lines of
business and forms of reinsurance on which we focus to increase our risk-adjusted returns.

While we expect to establish a diversified portfolio, our allocation of risk will vary based on our perception of the
opportunities available in each line of business. Moreover, our focus on certain lines will fluctuate based upon market
conditions and we may only offer or underwrite a limited range of lines in any given period. We intend to:

•

target markets where capacity and alternatives are underserved or capacity constrained;

employ strict underwriting discipline;

select reinsurance opportunities with favorable economics over the life of the contract; and

potentially offer lines that are not identified in this Form 10-K.

Through December 31, 2014, we wrote reinsurance contracts covering the following product lines:

Property. This line of business primarily consists of homeowners’ insurance coverage. Homeowners’ insurance
coverage combines various personal insurance protections, which can include losses occurring to one’s home, their contents,
loss of use (including additional living expenses), or loss of other personal possessions of the homeowner, as well as liability
insurance for accidents that may happen at covered homes or at the hands of the homeowners. Third Point Re provides quota
share reinsurance, which limits the amount of catastrophic losses that can be recovered; in many cases, hurricanes and other
serious natural events are excluded. There are also often other loss sensitive features that vary the cost of the reinsurance as
results improve or deteriorate, buffering the potential volatility to us.

Workers’ Compensation. Workers’ compensation insurance provides wage replacement and medical benefits to
employees injured in the course of employment in exchange for the mandatory relinquishment of the employee’s right to sue
the employer for negligence. While plans differ among jurisdictions, provisions can be made for payments in place of wages
(functioning as a form of disability insurance), compensation for economic loss (past and future), reimbursement or payment
of medical and like expenses (functioning as a form of health insurance), and benefits payable to dependents of workers
killed during employment (functioning as a form of life reinsurance). General damages for pain and suffering and punitive
damages for employer negligence are not generally available in workers’ compensation plans. Our approach to workers’
compensation is very selective and targets insurance companies that are very specialized within the workers compensation
line and geographically focused. We limit the volatility of this line of business by capping our per occurrence exposures.

Auto. Personal automobile insurance is purchased for individually owned or leased cars designed to provide the
insured with financial protection against bodily injury or physical damage resulting from traffic accidents and against liability
that could arise from such occurrences. In addition, automobile insurance may offer financial protection against theft or
damage of the vehicle from incidents other than collisions. Each state has different rules and regulations in place for
compulsory coverage and the specific terms of automobile insurance policies will vary from company to company. Third
Point Re generally focuses on providing proportional reinsurance to small, single state and regional carriers that specialize in
minimum financial responsibility limits required by their respective states. This business is often referred to as “non-
standard” automobile business and was historically underserved by standard markets. More recently, however, standard
companies have expanded their appetite for such business and it is written by a broad range of carriers.

General Liability. General liability insurance policies are issued to business organizations to protect them against
liability claims for bodily injury and property damage arising out of premises, operations, products, and completed
operations; and advertising and personal injury liability.

Agriculture. Agriculture insurance on growing crops in the United States provides protection to farmers for crop
losses caused by weather, disease, and insects. Two types of policies are available. Multiple peril crop insurance, or MPCI, is
subsidized by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and covers most natural perils. Additionally, farmers can purchase single
peril policies such as hail insurance. These products are not subsidized and the farmer pays the entire premium. Other single
peril policies cover perils such as wind, freeze, and excess rain. We predominantly underwrite MPCI business. At the end of
2013, we decided to stop underwriting Agriculture business and this line of business, with the limited number of contracts
previously bound, is now in runoff.

Credit & Financial Lines. Credit & Financial Lines primarily consists of mortgage insurance policies. Mortgage
insurance is an insurance policy that compensates lenders or investors for losses due to the default of a mortgage loan.
Mortgage insurance can refer to private mortgage insurance (“PMI”), mortgage life insurance or mortgage title insurance.

Third Point Re focuses on PMI, which is normally required by lenders when a borrower’s down payment or equity is less
than 20% of the loan value. Not all lenders will require PMI but those that follow the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
guidelines for home loan approval require PMI. In addition to mortgage insurance, policies classified as Credit & Financial
Lines may include political risk, trade credit, surety and title insurance.

Multi-line. Multi-line reinsurance is reinsurance of an underlying portfolio of several different types of insurance
risks. Third Point Re focuses on multi-line reinsurance opportunities where it has expertise in the underlying lines of business
or where the terms and conditions of the reinsurance contract minimize the volatility of the more difficult to analyze classes
of business in the portfolio. Contracts which cover more than one line of business will be designated as multi-line even if a
portion of the underlying business is covered by one of the lines of business listed above. A significant portion of our multi-
line contracts are reserve-based covers such as loss portfolio transfers. The most significant lines of business we include in
multi-line that we do not write on a standalone basis are Extended Warranty Insurance and Professional Liability,
descriptions of which are included below.

Extended Warranty Insurance. Extended warranty insurance compensates individuals or businesses for correction or
repair necessary as a result of mechanical or electrical breakdown. It covers a variety of units from motor vehicles, vans,
trucks, construction equipment and agricultural equipment, and the coverage varies according to the product, the age and the
usage. The insurance is offered on a multi-year basis, generally with a maximum period of three years on risk, and can cover
either new units after a period of warranty offered by the manufacturer or used units once the manufacturer’s warranty has
expired. All the extended warranty insurance business we have written excludes manufacturer defect and product recall. The
auto warranty business we have written is captured within the multi-line product line because the reinsurance agreements also
cover other lines of business

Professional Liability. Professional liability is a form of liability insurance that helps protect professional advice-
and service-providing individuals and companies from bearing the full cost of defending against a negligence claim made by
a client and damages awarded in a civil lawsuit. The coverage focuses on alleged failure to perform on the part of, financial
loss caused by, and error or omission in the service provided by the policyholder. These are potential causes for legal action
that would not be covered by a more general liability insurance policy, which addresses more direct forms of harm The
professional liability business we have written to date is captured within the multi-line product line because the reinsurance
contract also covers other lines of business.

Marketing

The majority of our business is sourced through reinsurance brokers. Broker distribution channels provide us with
access to an efficient, variable cost, global distribution system without the significant time and expense that would be
incurred in creating a wholly-owned distribution network. We believe that our financial strength rating, well known and
respected management team, and responsive client service enhance our working relationships with clients and brokers.

Our objective is to build long-term relationships with senior individuals at reinsurance brokers and with our clients.
We meet frequently with brokers, senior representatives of existing clients and prospective clients, and encourage clients to
visit our executive offices in order to help distinguish us and to develop mutually beneficial understandings of our respective
businesses. As evidenced by rates of submission flow, open dialogue, and successful closing of targeted accounts, we believe
we have successfully leveraged the underwriting experience and relationships of our management team. Reinsurance brokers
receive a brokerage commission that is usually a percentage of gross premiums written. We seek to become the first choice of
brokers and clients by providing:

•

creative solutions that address the specific business needs of our clients;

rapid and substantive responses to structuring and pricing quote requests;

financial security; and

clear indication of risks we will and will not underwrite.

We believe that the number of brokers with whom we do business will continue to expand over time, and by
maintaining close working relationships with brokers, we are able to increase our chances of successfully growing and
accessing a broader range of potential clients.

Underwriting

We have established a senior team of underwriters and actuaries to develop and manage our reinsurance business.
We believe that their experience, industry presence, and long-standing relationships will allow us to tailor our portfolio to
specific market segments. Our approach to underwriting will allow us to deploy our capital in a variety of lines of business
and to capitalize on opportunities that we believe offer favorable returns on equity over the long term. Our underwriters and
actuaries have expertise in a number of lines of business and we will also look to outside consultants to help us with niche
areas of expertise when we deem it appropriate. From time to time, we may consider investment income in our underwriting
and pricing of a particular transaction.

We generally apply the following underwriting management principles:

Team Approach

Each submission is assigned to an underwriter. If the program meets our underwriting criteria, the actuarial team
participates in the process. The underwriter and actuary work in concert to evaluate the opportunity, determine the optimal
structure, and price the deal. When capital is committed to any transaction, the evaluation team creates a deal analysis
memorandum that highlights the key components of the proposed transaction and presents the proposed transaction to a
senior group of staff including our senior executives and representatives of the underwriting, actuarial and finance teams.
This group must agree that the transaction meets or exceeds our profitability requirements before we submit a binding
proposal. The Presidents of Third Point Re and Third Point Re USA have exclusive authority to bind contracts on behalf of
their respective companies.

Actuarial Pricing

We have developed proprietary actuarial models and also use several commercially available tools to assist in
pricing our business. Our analysis considers the data and information provided by the potential cedent as well as relevant
industry data, where appropriate. We use this cedent specific and industry data to develop our own point estimate of the
expected losses under each potential contract. We also use a stochastic model to simulate a distribution of potential loss
outcomes and the impact of any contractual features that may exist such as sliding scale ceding commissions or profit
commissions.

One of the key metrics that we consider as a result of this process is the expected combined ratio on a particular
transaction. We also consider the projected outcomes at various percentiles, with a specific focus on outcomes in the tail. As
a part of this process, we also specifically test each transaction to determine if there is sufficient risk transfer to qualify for
reinsurance accounting. The results of this pricing process are shared with the underwriter on a contract, and if a deal is
bound, summary exhibits are attached to a memo summarizing the actuarial pricing analysis that was performed.

Act as Lead Underwriter

Typically, one or two reinsurers will act as the lead or co-lead parties in developing and negotiating treaty pricing,
terms and conditions of reinsurance contracts. We act as the lead underwriter for the majority of the premium that we
underwrite. We believe that lead underwriting is a critically important factor in achieving long-term success, as lead
underwriters have greater control of overall economics of their programs. In addition, we believe that reinsurers that lead
policies are generally solicited for a broader range of business and have greater access to attractive risks.

Alignment of Interests

We seek to ensure that every contract we underwrite aligns our interests with our client’s interest. Specifically, we

may seek to:

•

require our clients to maintain a meaningful risk position in their business;

pay our clients a commission based upon their actual expenses and offer an additional commission as an
incentive based upon profitability;

include deficit carry-forward provisions in our multi-year contracts that allows us to potentially offset
underwriting losses from one year to the next;

charge the client a premium for reinstatement of the amount of reinsurance coverage to the full amount
reduced as a result of a reinsurance loss payment, which we refer to as a reinstatement premium;

require specific levels of rate increases on the underlying insurance policies; and

credit interest income on actual cash received into a notional experience account whereby the experience
account is credited to the ceding company at the maturity of the contract if underwriting results are realized
as initially expected.

We believe these tools help us align our risk with the risk of the client and provide incentive to clients to manage our
mutual interests. We also believe that aligning our interests with our client’s interests promotes profitability, accurate
reporting of information, timely settling and management of claims, and limits the potential for disputes. Adjustments to
profit commissions and other participating features are recorded in our financial statements based on our estimate of losses
and the contractual provisions of the reinsurance contract.

During the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred totaled
$283.1 million, $139.8 million and $80.3 million, respectively, which includes $3.6 million, $4.7 million and $nil of net
favorable development, respectively. Subsequent adjustments to our loss reserves for these contracts may result in
corresponding adjustments to profit commission and other participating features based upon the structure of the contract, the
level of losses accounted for in our financial statements and the timing of the subsequent changes. As part of our quarterly
reserving process, profit commissions and other participating features are calculated on an individual contract basis. Profit
commissions and other participating features are considered probable when our actuarial loss estimate results in estimated
profit commission based on the terms of the contract.

Underwriting Operations

As Chief Executive Officer of the Company, John Berger sets underwriting strategy, establishes underwriting
policies and has appointed the underwriting teams for each of Third Point Re and Third Point Re USA. Each of our
underwriting teams consists of underwriters that have in excess of 25 years of experience, on average, in the reinsurance
business. The Presidents of Third Point Re and Third Point Re USA have exclusive authority to bind contracts on behalf of
their respective companies.

Detailed Underwriting Diligence

We employ selective underwriting criteria in the contracts we choose to underwrite and spend a significant amount
of time with our clients and brokers to understand the risks and appropriately structure the contracts. We usually obtain
significant amounts of data from our clients to conduct a thorough actuarial modeling analysis. As part of our pricing and
underwriting process, we assess among other factors:

•

the client’s and industry historical loss data and current market conditions;

•

the business purpose served by a proposed contract;

the client’s pricing and underwriting strategies;

the expected duration for claims to fully develop;

the geographic areas in which the client is doing business and its market share;

the reputation and financial strength of the client;

the reputation and expertise of the broker;

proposed contract terms and conditions; and

reports provided by independent industry specialists.

Retrocessional Coverage

Retrocessional coverage consists of reinsurance purchased to cover a portion of the risks that we reinsure on behalf
of our clients. We purchased a small amount of retrocessional coverage in 2014, and we may continue to do so in the future.
From time to time, we consider purchases of retrocessional coverage for one or more of the following reasons: to manage our
overall exposure, to reduce our net liability on individual risks, to obtain additional underwriting capacity and to balance our
underwriting portfolio. Additionally, retrocession can be used as a mechanism to share the risks and rewards of business
written and therefore can be used as a tool to align our interests with those of our counterparties. We currently have coverage
that provides for recovery of a portion of loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred on one crop contract written in 2013.

Loss and loss adjustment expenses recoverable from the retrocessionaires are recorded as assets. For the year ended
December 31, 2014, loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred and reported on the consolidated statements of income are
net of loss and loss expenses recovered of $0.4 million (2013 - $9.3 million and 2012 - nil).

Retrocession contracts do not relieve us from our obligations to the insureds. Failure of retrocessionaires to honor
their obligations could result in losses to us. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, we had loss and loss adjustment expenses
recoverable of $0.8 million and $9.3 million, respectively, with one retrocessionaire who was rated “A (Excellent)” by A.M.
Best. We regularly evaluate the financial condition of our retrocessionaires to assess the ability of the retrocessionaires to
honor their obligations.

Claims Management

Our claims management process begins upon receipt of periodic contract reports from brokers or clients. These
statements are reviewed on an individual basis, evaluated against our expectations and entered in our management system for
portfolio analysis and reporting purposes. In addition to analyzing report statements and results, claims audits are performed
on specific contracts based on results and management direction to ensure the clients are reporting and reserving their claims
accurately and appropriately.

Reserves

On a quarterly basis, our actuaries produce an actuarial central estimate of the gross and net loss reserves for all
contracts bound as of the evaluation date. The reserves are calculated on an undiscounted basis with regards to future
investment income. The projections also include estimates of loss-sensitive contingent terms such as additional premium
features, profit commissions and sliding scale ceding commissions. All calculations are done on a contract-by-contract basis
and reflect the most recent premium and loss information provided by our cedents.

In estimating our loss and loss adjustment reserves, it is necessary to project future loss and loss adjustment expense
payments. It is certain that actual future losses and loss adjustment expenses will not develop exactly as projected and may, in
fact, significantly vary from the projections. Further, the projections make no provision for extraordinary future emergence of
new classes of losses or types of losses not sufficiently represented in our or the applicable cedent’s historical database or
which are not yet quantifiable.

The following table represents the activity in the loss and loss adjustment expense reserves for the years ended

December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012:

The $3.6 million decrease in prior years’ reserves for the year ended December 31, 2014 reflects $0.7 million of net
favorable reserve development and $2.9 million resulting from decreases in premium estimates on certain contracts. The
changes in loss and loss adjustment expense reserves related to premium estimate changes were accompanied by similar
offsetting changes in the premium earned for those contracts, resulting in minimal impact to net underwriting income.

The $4.7 million decrease in prior years’ reserves for the year ended December 31, 2013 reflects $1.3 million of
favorable loss experience on several contracts and $3.4 million resulting from decreases in premium estimates on certain
contracts, primarily related to one crop contract. The reduction in loss and loss adjustment expense reserves related to
premium estimates was accompanied by an equal decrease in the premium written and earned for that contract, resulting in a
minimal impact to net underwriting income.

We started our underwriting activities in 2012, and as a result, there were no loss and loss adjustment expenses

incurred or paid in respect of losses occurring in prior years.

Current loss and loss adjustment reserves

The following table represents the development of GAAP balance sheet reserves for loss and loss adjustment
expense reserves, net of loss and loss adjustment expenses recoverable as of December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012. This table
does not present policy or accident year development data. The top line of the table shows our gross loss and loss adjustment
expense reserves as of the balance sheet date for each of the indicated years. This represents the estimated amounts of gross
and net loss and loss adjustment expense reserves arising in the current year and all prior years that are unpaid as of the
balance sheet date, including incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) reserves. The table also shows the re-estimated amount of
the previously recorded loss and loss adjustment expense reserves based on experience as of the end of each succeeding year.
The estimates change as more information becomes known about the frequency and severity of claims for individual years.
The “cumulative redundancy” represents the aggregate change to date from the original estimate. The table also shows the
cumulative paid amounts as of successive years with respect to the loss and loss adjustment expense reserves.

Third Point Re and Third Point Re USA are not licensed or admitted as an insurer in any jurisdiction other than
Bermuda. Many jurisdictions such as the United States do not permit clients to take credit for reinsurance on their statutory
financial statements if such reinsurance is obtained from unlicensed or non-admitted insurers without appropriate collateral
or, in some states, unless they have investment grade financial strength rating from two recognized rating agencies. As a
result, we anticipate that all of our U.S. clients and a portion of our non-U.S. clients will require us to provide collateral for
the contracts we bind with them. We expect this collateral to take the form of funds withheld, trust arrangements or letters of
credit. As of December 31, 2014, we had in place letter of credit facilities for an aggregate amount of $400.0 million and
have issued letters of credit totaling $218.5 million in favor of clients. The failure to maintain, replace or increase our letter of
credit facilities on commercially acceptable terms may significantly and negatively affect our ability to implement our
business strategy. See “Risk Factors-Risks Relating to Our Business--Our failure to obtain sufficient letter of credit facilities
or to increase our letter of credit capacity on commercially acceptable terms as we grow could significantly and negatively
affect our ability to implement our business strategy.”

In addition, we have $89.8 million of restricted cash held in trust accounts to secure obligations under certain
reinsurance contracts. Certain of our reinsurance contracts require that we post collateral in the form of letters of credit or
trust agreements to secure obligations under the contract.

Competition

The reinsurance industry is highly competitive. We expect to compete with major reinsurers, most of which are well
established, have a significant operating history and strong financial strength ratings and have developed long-standing client
relationships.

Although we seek to provide coverage where capacity and alternatives are limited, we directly compete with larger
companies due to the breadth of their coverage across the property and casualty market in substantially all lines of business.
We also compete with smaller companies and other niche reinsurers. While we have a limited operating history, we believe
that our unique approach to underwriting and extensive relationships will allow us to be successful in underwriting
transactions against more established competitors.

Risk Management

We have developed a comprehensive risk management strategy that is governed by an articulated vision of risk
appetite and control that is conveyed throughout the organization and measured in a transparent and consistent manner. Our
risk management strategy, metrics and progress are summarized in a report that is presented to the board of directors on a
quarterly basis. Our internal capital model incorporates statistics from the pricing, reserving and investment processes to
produce an estimate of the amount of capital used at set points in time (e.g., each quarter-end) as well as the overall
variability in the prospective financial results. We work closely with the risk management personnel of Third Point LLC, as
our investment manager, to measure and report the variability of results from our investment portfolio. We also monitor the
contractual exposure to catastrophic losses as aggregated across all bound reinsurance contracts.

Ratings

Each of our reinsurance subsidiaries has an A- (Excellent) financial strength rating with a stable outlook from A.M.
Best, which is the fourth highest of 15 ratings. We believe that a strong rating is an important factor in the marketing of
reinsurance products to clients and brokers. This rating reflects the rating agency’s opinion of our financial strength,
operating performance and ability to meet obligations. It is not an evaluation directed toward the protection of investors or a
recommendation to buy, sell or hold our common shares.

Joint Venture and Investment Management Agreements

On December 22, 2011, we entered into the investment management agreement with Third Point LLC, Third Point
Re, and Third Point Advisors LLC (“TP GP”) (Third Point Re and TP GP, together with any other party admitted in the
future as a participant, the “Participants” and each a “Participant”) pursuant to which the parties created a joint venture (an
“Account”) whereby Third Point LLC manages the assets of Third Point Re and TP GP as well as our assets and, as except as
described below, any of our subsidiaries’ assets, if any, in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in
the investment management agreement.

On January 28, 2015, we entered into another investment management agreement with Third Point LLC, Third Point
Re USA and TPGP pursuant to which the parties created a separate managed account (an “Account”) whereby Third Point
LLC manages the assets of Third Point Re USA and TP GP under substantially the same terms and conditions as our existing
investment management agreement for Third Point Re.

Management Fee

Pursuant to each investment management agreement, Third Point LLC is entitled to receive a monthly payment in
advance by each Participant (other than TP GP) and is equal to (i) 0.1667% (2.0% annualized) of the capital account of such
Participant (before accounting for any accrual of the Performance Allocation (as defined in the applicable investment
management agreement)) minus (ii) the aggregate amount of Founders payments paid for such month pursuant to the
Founders Agreement, in each case pro-rated for intra-month withdrawals or contributions. This payment is debited against
the capital account of each relevant Participant and paid in cash to Third Point LLC.

Performance Allocation

As further set out in each investment management agreement, each Account has established one or more capital
accounts to which capital contributions, withdrawals, net profit and net loss will be allocated in respect of each Participant.
At the end of each fiscal year, the Performance Allocation (equal to 20% of the net profit allocable to the capital account of
each Participant) will be reallocated to the capital account of TP GP from the capital account of each other Participant,
provided, however, that a Performance Allocation will not be made with respect to such capital account until such capital
account has recouped the amount of any unrecouped net capital loss in its Loss Recovery Account (as defined in the
investment management agreement). If a Participant withdraws all or a portion of its capital account other than at the end of a
fiscal year, the Performance Allocation accrued and attributable to the portion withdrawn will be debited against such
Participant’s capital account and credited to TP GP’s capital account at the time of withdrawal.

Under each investment management agreement, Third Point LLC is required to maintain a Loss Recovery Account
in respect of each Participant, the opening balance of which will be zero. Thereafter, for any fiscal year, the Loss Recovery
Account balance shall be the sum of all prior year net loss amounts allocated to the Participant and not subsequently offset by
prior year net profit amounts allocated to such Participant; provided that the Loss Recovery Account balance will be reduced
proportionately to reflect any withdrawals made by such Participant. TP GP may waive or reduce the Performance
Allocation, in its sole discretion. Third Point LLC and TP GP may elect, at the beginning of each fiscal year to restructure the
Performance Allocation as a performance fee to Third Point LLC with the same terms as the Performance Allocation.

Investment Guidelines

As detailed in each investment management agreement, Third Point LLC is required to adhere to the following

investment guidelines:

•

Composition of Investments: At least 60% of the applicable investment portfolio will be held in debt or
equity securities (including swaps) of publicly traded companies (or their subsidiaries) and governments of

OECD (the Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development) high income countries, asset-
backed securities, cash, cash equivalents and gold and other precious metals. Except with the prior written
consent of the Investment and Finance committee, none of the assets in the investment portfolio will be
held in illiquid investments traditionally considered “venture capital” or private equity investments. In
addition, no investments in third party managed funds or other investment vehicles will be made without
the consent of the Investment and Finance committee.

Concentration of Investments: Other than cash, cash equivalents and United States government obligations,
no single investment in the investment portfolio will constitute more than 15% of the portfolio.

Liquidity: Assets will be invested in such fashion that Third Point Re and, with respect to our second
investment management agreement, Third Point Re USA, has a reasonable expectation that it can meet any
of its liabilities as they become due. We review the liquidity of the Third Point LLC portfolio on a periodic
basis.

Net Exposure Limits: The investment portfolio may not employ greater than 1.5 times portfolio assets
managed for more than 10 trading days in any 30-trading day period.

•

Term

The original investment management agreement for Third Point Re has an initial term of five years, subject to
automatic renewal for additional successive three-year terms unless a party notifies the other parties at least six months prior
to the end of a term that it wishes to terminate the investment management agreement at the end of such term. The second
investment management agreement entered into in January 2015 has an expiration date that coincides with the expiration date
of the original investment management agreement and is subject to similar renewal provisions.

We may also terminate either investment management agreement upon the death, long-term disability or retirement
of Daniel S. Loeb, or the occurrence of other circumstances in which Mr. Loeb is no longer directing the investment program
of Third Point LLC.

We may also withdraw as participants under the investment management agreements prior to the expiration of the
investment management agreements’ term at any time only “for cause”, which is defined under both investment management
agreements as:

•

a material violation of applicable law relating to Third Point LLC’s advisory business;

Third Point LLC’s fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or reckless disregard of its obligations under
the investment management agreement;

a material breach by Third Point LLC of our investment guidelines that is not cured within a 15-day period;

a conviction or, a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to a felony or a crime affecting the asset management
business of Third Point LLC by certain senior officers of Third Point LLC;

any act of fraud, material misappropriation, material dishonesty, embezzlement, or similar conduct against
or involving us by senior officers of Third Point LLC; or

a formal administrative or other legal proceeding before the SEC, the CFTC, the FINRA, or any other U.S.
or non-U.S. regulatory or self-regulatory organization against Third Point LLC; or certain key personnel
which would likely have a material adverse effect on us.

In addition, we may withdraw as a participant under the investment management agreements prior to the expiration
of their term if net investment performance of Third Point LLC has (a) (i) incurred a loss in two successive calendar years
and (ii) underperformed the S&P 500 Index by at least 10 percentage points for such two successive calendar years, taken as
a whole, or (b) (i) incurred a cumulative loss of 10% or more during any 24-month period and (ii) underperformed the S&P
500 Index by at least 15 percentage points for such 24-month period. We may not withdraw or terminate the investment
management agreements on the basis of performance other than as provided above. If we become dissatisfied with the results

of the investment performance of Third Point LLC, we will be unable to hire new investment managers until the investment
management agreements expire by their terms or are terminated for cause.

The following table sets forth management fees and performance fees incurred for the years ended December 31,
2014, 2013 and 2012 under the original investment management agreement, all of which were paid in respect of Third Point
Re’s investment portfolio:

timing of making investments for our account. We have the contractual right to withdraw funds from our managed accounts
to pay claims and expenses as needed.

In managing our investment portfolio, Third Point LLC assigns every investment position a sector, strategy and
particular geographic category. The dollar exposure of each position under each category is aggregated and the exposure
percentages listed in the exposure table represent the aggregate market exposure of a given category against the total net asset
value of the account. Long and short exposure percentages represent the aggregate relative value of all long and short
positions in a given category, respectively. Net exposure represents the short exposure subtracted from the long exposure in a
given category. Third Point LLC reports the composition of our total managed portfolio on a market exposure basis, which it
believes is the appropriate manner in which to assess the exposure and profile of investments and is the way in which it
manages the portfolio. Under this methodology, the exposure for equity swaps and futures contracts are reported at their full
notional amount. The notional amount of any derivative contract is the underlying value upon which payment obligations are
computed. For an equity total return swap, for example, the notional amount is the number of shares underlying the swap
multiplied by the market price of those shares. Options are reported at their delta adjusted basis. The delta of an option is the
sensitivity of the option price to the underlying stock price. The delta adjusted basis is the number of shares underlying the
option multiplied by the delta and the underlying stock price. Credit derivatives are reported in accordance with their
equivalent underlying security exposure. Cash and cash equivalents are excluded from exposure calculations.

the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange on the last business day of each month, our preliminary monthly

Investment Regulatory Concerns and Restrictions

Third Point LLC is involved regularly in trading activities that involve a broad number of U.S. and foreign securities
law regimes, including laws governing trading on inside information, market manipulation and a broad number of technical
trading requirements that involve fundamental market regulation policies. Violation of such laws could result in severe
restrictions on Third Point LLC’s activities and, indirectly, damage to our investment portfolio and/or reputation as each
investment management agreement has limited termination provisions.

Third Point LLC’s failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations could result in fines, censure, suspensions
of personnel or other sanctions. The regulations that Third Point LLC is subject to are designed primarily to ensure the
integrity of the financial markets. They are not designed to protect us or, indirectly, you. Even if a sanction imposed against
Third Point LLC or one of its personnel by a regulator was for a small monetary amount, the adverse publicity related to such
sanction against Third Point LLC by regulators could harm its reputation and, possibly, ours.

In recent years, there has been debate in both the U.S. and foreign governments about new rules or regulations to be

applicable to alternative investment advisers, like Third Point LLC.

In August 2007, the SEC adopted a new rule intended to clarify the SEC’s authority to bring enforcement actions
against investment advisers for fraud against investors and prospective investors in their funds (as opposed to fraud against
the funds themselves). Although we do not believe the SEC’s rule has directly affected us, Third Point LLC and, accordingly,
our investment strategy, may be adversely affected if new or revised legislation or regulations are enacted or by changes to
existing rules and regulations of U.S. or foreign governmental regulatory authorities or self-regulatory organizations that
supervise the financial markets.

It is possible that increased regulation of alternative investment advisers could adversely affect Third Point LLC’s
ability to manage our investment portfolio or its ability to manage our portfolio pursuant to our existing investment strategy,
which could cause us to alter our existing investment strategy and could significantly and negatively affect our business and
results of operations. In addition, adverse publicity regarding alternative investment strategies generally, or Third Point LLC
or its affiliates specifically, could negatively affect our business reputation and attractiveness as a counterparty to brokers and
clients.

Other Trading Restrictions

Third Point LLC may from time to time place it or its affiliates’ representatives on creditors committees or boards of
certain companies in which our portfolio is invested. While such representation may enable Third Point LLC to enhance the
value of our investments, it may place trading restrictions on certain securities included in our investment portfolio.

Regulation

Bermuda Insurance Regulation

The Insurance Act of 1978

The Insurance Act of 1978, as amended, and related regulations of Bermuda (the “Insurance Act”), which regulates
the insurance business of Third Point Re, Third Point Re USA and the Catastrophe Reinsurer, provides that no person shall
carry on any insurance business in or from within Bermuda unless registered as an insurer under the Insurance Act by the
BMA. Under the Insurance Act, insurance business includes reinsurance business. The BMA, in deciding whether to grant
registration, has broad discretion to act as it thinks fit in the public interest. The BMA is required by the Insurance Act to
determine whether the applicant is a fit and proper body to be engaged in the insurance business and, in particular, whether it
has, or has available to it, adequate knowledge and expertise. The registration of an applicant as an insurer is subject to its

complying with the terms of its registration and such other conditions as the BMA may impose from time to time. The
Insurance Act also grants to the BMA powers to supervise, investigate and intervene in the affairs of insurance companies.

An insurance advisory committee appointed by the Bermuda Minister of Finance advises the BMA on matters
connected with the discharge of the BMA’s functions and sub-committees thereof supervise and review the law and practice
of insurance in Bermuda, including reviews of accounting and administrative procedures.

The Insurance Act imposes on Bermuda insurance companies solvency and liquidity standards and auditing and
reporting requirements and grants to the BMA powers to supervise, investigate and intervene in the affairs of insurance
companies. Certain significant aspects of the Bermuda insurance regulatory framework are set forth below.

Classification of Insurers

The Insurance Act distinguishes between insurers carrying on long-term business, insurers carrying on general
business and insurers carrying on special purpose business. There are six classifications of insurers carrying on general
business, ranging from Class 1 insurers (pure captives) to Class 4 insurers (very large commercial underwriters). There is
only one classification of special purpose insurer. Third Point Re and Third Point Re USA are registered as Class 4 insurers
and the Catastrophe Reinsurer is registered as a special purpose insurer.

Classification as a Class 4 Insurer

A body corporate is registrable as a Class 4 insurer where (i) it has at the time of its application for registration, or
will have before it carries on insurance business, a total statutory capital and surplus of not less than $100,000,000; and (ii) it
intends to carry on general insurance business, including excess liability business or property catastrophe reinsurance
business. Class 4 insurers are required to maintain fully paid-up share capital of $1,000,000.

Classification as a Special Purpose Insurer

A special purpose insurer (“SPI”) means an insurer that carries on special purpose business. Special purpose
business is defined under the Insurance Act as insurance business under which an insurer fully funds its liabilities to the
persons insured through (a) the proceeds of any one or more of (i) a debt issuance where the repayment rights of the
providers of such debt are subordinated to the rights of the person insured, or (ii) some other financing mechanism approved
by the BMA; (b) cash; and (c) time deposits.

Principal Representative and Principal Office

Third Point Re, Third Point Re USA and the Catastrophe Reinsurer are each required to maintain a principal office
and to appoint and maintain a principal representative in Bermuda. For the purpose of the Insurance Act, the principal office
of Third Point Re and Third Point Re USA is at our principal executive offices in Bermuda. Third Point Re’s principal
representative is John Berger and Third Point Re USA’s principal representative is Christopher Coleman. The principal office
of the Catastrophe Reinsurer is at The Waterfront, Chesney House, 96 Pitts Bay Road, Pembroke HM 08 Bermuda and the
Catastrophe Reinsurer’s principal representative is Prime Management Limited. Without a reason acceptable to the BMA, an
insurer may not terminate the appointment of its principal representative, and the principal representative may not cease to act
as such, unless 30 days’ notice in writing to the BMA is given of the intention to do so.

It is the duty of the principal representative to forthwith notify the BMA where the principal representative believes
there is a likelihood of the insurer (for which the principal representative acts) becoming insolvent or that a reportable
“event” has, to the principal representative’s knowledge, occurred or is believed to have occurred. Examples of a reportable
“event” include a failure by Third Point Re or Third Point Re USA to comply substantially with a condition imposed upon it
by the BMA relating to a solvency margin or a liquidity or other ratio, a significant loss likely to cause the insurer to fail to
comply with its enhanced capital requirement (discussed below) and the occurrence of a “material change” (as such term is
defined under the Insurance Act) in its business operations.

Within 14 days of such notification to the BMA, the principal representative must furnish the BMA with a written

report setting out all the particulars of the case that are available to the principal representative.

Loss Reserve Specialist

As Class 4 insurers, Third Point Re and Third Point Re USA must each appoint an individual approved by the BMA
to be its loss reserve specialist. In order to qualify as an approved loss reserve specialist, the applicant must be an individual
and possess adequate professional qualifications as a casualty actuary and/or possess adequate experience to assess the
sufficiency of insurance reserves of the insurer. The Class 4 insurers are required to submit annually an opinion of their
approved loss reserve specialists with their statutory financial return in respect of their loss and loss expense provisions.

As an SPI, the Catastrophe Reinsurer is not required to appoint a loss reserve specialist.

Annual Financial Statements

As Class 4 insurers, Third Point Re and Third Point Re USA must prepare and submit, on an annual basis, both

audited U.S. GAAP and statutory financial statements.

The Catastrophe Reinsurer, as an SPI, must prepare and submit annual statutory financial statements, unless an
application has been filed under the Insurance Act to have the statutory filing requirement waived. Where such a waiver has
been granted, the BMA will accept unaudited management accounts from the SPI prepared in accordance with GAAP or
international financial reporting standards that apply in Bermuda, Canada, the United Kingdom or the United States of
America. The Catastrophe Reinsurer is also required to provide the BMA with a copy of the unaudited management
statement accounts as soon as practicable after the same have been submitted to the participants and, at a minimum, within
four months of the end of each financial year.

The Insurance Act prescribes rules for the preparation and substance of statutory financial statements (which
include, in statutory form, a balance sheet, income statement, a statement of capital and surplus, and notes thereto). The
statutory financial statements include detailed information and analysis regarding premiums, claims, reinsurance and
investments of the insurer. In addition, as Class 4 insurers, Third Point Re and Third Point Re USA are also required to
prepare and submit to the BMA financial statements which have been prepared under generally accepted accounting
principles or international financial reporting standards (“GAAP financial statements”).

As Class 4 insurers, Third Point Re and Third Point Re USA’s annual U.S. GAAP and statutory financial
statements are required to be filed with the BMA within four months from the end of the relevant financial year (unless
specifically extended).

The statutory financial statements do not form part of the public records maintained by the BMA but the GAAP

financial statements for both Third Point Re and Third Point Re USA are available for public inspection.

Annual Statutory Financial Return and Annual Capital and Solvency Return

Third Point Re and Third Point Re USA, as Class 4 insurers, and the Catastrophe Reinsurer, as an SPI, are required
to file with the BMA a statutory financial return no later than four months after their respective financial year end (unless
specifically extended) unless, in the case of the Catastrophe Reinsurer, the Catastrophe Reinsurer has filed and obtained a
waiver, as outlined above. The statutory financial return includes, among other matters, a report of the approved independent
auditor on the statutory financial statements of the insurer, a general business, or special purpose business, as applicable,
solvency certificate, the statutory financial statements themselves and the opinion of the loss reserve specialist.

The principal representative and at least two directors of the insurer must sign the solvency certificate. The directors
are required to certify whether the minimum solvency margin has been met, and the independent approved auditor is required
to state whether in its opinion it was reasonable for the directors to make this certification.

Where an insurer’s accounts have been audited for any purpose other than compliance with the Insurance Act, a

statement to that effect must be filed with the statutory financial return.

In addition, each year Third Point Re and Third Point Re USA, as a Class 4 insurers, are also required to file with
the BMA a capital and solvency return along with their annual financial statutory returns. The prescribed form of capital and
solvency return comprises the insurer’s Bermuda Solvency Capital Requirement (“BSCR”) model or an approved internal
capital model in lieu thereof (more fully described below), a schedule of fixed income investments by rating categories, a
schedule of net loss and loss expense provisions by line of business, a schedule of premiums written by line of business, a

schedule of risk management, a schedule of fixed income securities, a schedule of commercial insurer’s solvency self
assessment (“CISSA”), a schedule of catastrophe risk return, a schedule of loss triangles or reconciliation of net loss reserves
and a schedule of eligible capital.

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

Quarterly Financial Statements

Third Point Re and Third Point Re USA, as Class 4 insurers not being otherwise subject to group supervision
(described below), are each required to prepare and file quarterly financial returns with the BMA on or before the last day of
the months May, August and November of each year. The quarterly financial returns consist of (i) quarterly unaudited
financial statements for each financial quarter (which must minimally include a balance sheet and income statement and must
also be recent and not reflect a financial position that exceeds two months) and (ii) a list and details of material intra-group
transactions and risk concentrations that have materialized since the most recent quarterly or annual financial returns, details
surrounding all intra-group reinsurance and retrocession arrangements and other intra-group risk transfer insurance business
arrangements that have materialized since the most recent quarterly or annual financial returns and details of the ten largest
exposures to unaffiliated counterparties and any other unaffiliated counterparty exposures exceeding 10% of the insurer’s
statutory capital and surplus. Quarterly financial statements are not required where the Class 4 insurer is subject to group
supervision.

Independent Approved Auditor

Third Point Re and Third Point Re USA, as Class 4 insurers, must each appoint an independent auditor who will
annually audit and report on the insurer’s GAAP financial statements, its statutory financial statements and its statutory
financial returns, each of which are required to be filed annually with the BMA. The auditor must be approved by the BMA
as the independent auditor of the insurer. If the insurer fails to appoint an approved auditor or at any time fails to fill a
vacancy for such auditor, the BMA may appoint an approved auditor for the insurer and shall fix the remuneration to be paid
to the approved auditor within 14 days, if not agreed sooner by the insurer and the auditor.

The Catastrophe Reinsurer, as an SPI, may file an application under the Insurance Act to have this requirement

waived, as outlined above.

Non-insurance Business

Third Point Re and Third Point Re USA, as Class 4 insurers may not engage in non-insurance business unless that
non-insurance business is ancillary to their core insurance business. Non-insurance business means any business other than
insurance business and includes carrying on investment business, managing an investment fund as operator, carrying on
business as a fund administrator, carrying on banking business, underwriting debt or securities or otherwise engaging in
investment banking, engaging in commercial or industrial activities and carrying on the business of management, sales or
leasing of real property. Third Point Re, as a Class 4 insurer registered before December 31, 2012, will be permitted to
continue engaging in non-insurance business but must discontinue doing so not later than year-end 2016.

Minimum Liquidity Ratio

The Insurance Act provides a minimum liquidity ratio for general business. As an insurer engaged in general
business, Third Point Re and Third Point Re USA are each required to maintain the value of their relevant assets at not less
than 75% of the amount of their relevant liabilities. Relevant assets include cash and time deposits, quoted investments,
unquoted bonds and debentures, first liens on real estate, investment income due and accrued, accounts and premiums
receivable, reinsurance balances receivable and funds held by ceding reinsurers.

There are certain categories of assets that, unless specifically permitted by the BMA, do not automatically qualify as
relevant assets, such as unquoted equity securities, investments in and advances to affiliates and real estate and collateral
loans.

The relevant liabilities are total general business insurance reserves and total other liabilities less deferred income

tax and sundry liabilities (by interpretation, those not specifically defined) and letters of credit and guarantees.

Minimum Solvency Margin and Enhanced Capital Requirements

The Insurance Act provides that the value of the statutory assets of a Class 4 insurer must exceed the value of its

statutory liabilities by an amount greater than its prescribed minimum solvency margin (“MSM”).

The MSM that must be maintained by a Class 4 insurer with respect to its general business is the greater of (i) $100
million, or (ii) 50% of net premium written (with a credit for reinsurance ceded not exceeding 25% of gross premiums) or
(iii) 15% of net discounted aggregate loss and loss expense provisions and other insurance reserves.

The Insurance Act provides that an SPI is required to maintain a minimum solvency margin by which the value of

the special purpose business assets must exceed its special purpose business liabilities by at least $1.

Class 4 insurers are also required to maintain available statutory capital and surplus at a level equal to or in excess of
its enhanced capital requirement (“ECR”) which is established by reference to either the BSCR model or an approved internal
capital model.

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

While not specifically referred to in the Insurance Act, the BMA has also established a target capital level (“TCL”)
for each Class 4 insurer equal to 120% of its ECR. While a Class 4 insurer is not currently required to maintain its statutory
capital and surplus at this level, the TCL serves as an early warning tool for the BMA and failure to maintain statutory capital
at least equal to the TCL will likely result in increased regulatory oversight.

Any Class 4 insurer that at any time fails to meet its MSM requirements must, upon becoming aware of such
failure, immediately notify the BMA and, within 14 days thereafter, file a written report with the BMA containing particulars
of the circumstances that gave rise to the failure and setting out its plan detailing specific actions to be taken and the expected
timeframe in which the company intends to rectify the failure.

Any Class 4 insurer that at any time fails to meet its enhanced capital requirement applicable to it shall upon
becoming aware of that failure, or of having reason to believe that such a failure has occurred, immediately notify the BMA
in writing and within 14 days of such notification file with the BMA a written report containing particulars of the
circumstances leading to the failure; and a plan detailing the manner, specific actions to be taken and time within which the
insurer intends to rectify the failure and within 45 days of becoming aware of that failure, or of having reason to believe that
such a failure has occurred, furnish the BMA with (i) unaudited interim statutory financial statements covering such period as
the BMA may require; (ii) the opinion of a loss reserve specialist where applicable; (iii) a general business solvency
certificate in respect of the financial statements; and (iv) a capital and solvency return reflecting an enhanced capital
requirement prepared using post failure data where applicable.

Eligible Capital

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

The characteristics of the capital instruments that must be satisfied to qualify as Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 Capital are
set out in the Insurance (Eligible Capital) Rules 2012, and any amendments thereto. Under these rules, Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier
3 Capital may, until January 1, 2024, include capital instruments that do not satisfy the requirement that the instrument be
non-redeemable or settled only with the issuance of an instrument of equal or higher quality upon a breach, or if it would
cause a breach, of the ECR.

Where the BMA has previously approved the use of certain instruments for capital purposes, the BMA’s consent

will need to be obtained if such instruments are to remain eligible for use in satisfying the MSM and the ECR.

Code of Conduct

Every Bermuda registered insurer must comply with the Insurance Code of Conduct (the “Code”), which prescribes
the duties and standards that must be complied with to ensure sound corporate governance, risk management and internal
controls are implemented. The BMA will assess an insurer’s compliance with the Code in a proportionate manner relative to
the nature, scale and complexity of its business. Failure to comply with the requirements of the Code will be taken into
account by the BMA in determining whether an insurer is conducting its business in a sound and prudent manner as
prescribed by the Insurance Act and may result in the BMA exercising its powers of intervention and investigation (see
below) and, in the case of Third Point Re and Third point Re USA, as Class 4 insurers, will be a factor in calculating the
operational risk charge under the insurer’s BSCR or approved internal model.

Restrictions on Dividends and Distributions

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

In addition, a Class 4 insurer is prohibited from declaring or paying in any financial year dividends of more than
25% of its total statutory capital and surplus (as shown on its previous financial year’s statutory balance sheet) unless it files
(at least seven days before payment of such dividends) with the BMA an affidavit signed by at least 2 directors (one of whom
must be a Bermuda resident director if any of the insurer’s directors are resident in Bermuda) and the principal representative
stating that it will continue to meet its solvency margin and minimum liquidity ratio. Where such an affidavit is filed, it shall
be available for public inspection at the offices of the BMA.

Reduction of Capital

Neither Third Point Re nor Third Point Re USA, as general business insurers, may reduce its total statutory capital
by 15% or more, as set out in their respective previous year’s financial statements, unless it has received the prior approval of
the BMA. Total statutory capital consists of the insurer’s paid in share capital, its contributed surplus (sometimes called
additional paid in capital) and any other fixed capital designated by the BMA as statutory capital (such as letters of credit).

As Class 4 insurers, where either of Third Point Re or Third Point Re USA seek to reduce their statutory capital by
15% or more, as set out in their respective previous year’s financial statements, they must also submit an affidavit signed by
at least two directors (one of whom must be a Bermuda resident director if any of the company’s directors are resident in
Bermuda) and the principal representative stating that the proposed reduction will not cause the company to fail its relevant
margins. Where such an affidavit is filed, it shall be available for public inspection at the offices of the BMA.

Fit and Proper Controllers

The BMA maintains supervision over the controllers of all registered insurers in Bermuda. A controller includes
(i) the managing director of the registered insurer or its parent company; (ii) the chief executive of the registered insurer or of
its parent company; (iii) a shareholder controller; and, (iv) any person in accordance with whose directions or instructions the
directors of the registered insurer or of its parent company are accustomed to act.

The definition of shareholder controller is set out in the Insurance Act but generally refers to (i) a person who holds
10% or more of the shares carrying rights to vote at a shareholders’ meeting of the registered insurer or its parent company,
or (ii) a person who is entitled to exercise 10% or more of the voting power at any shareholders’ meeting of such registered
insurer or its parent company, or (iii) a person who is able to exercise significant influence over the management of the
registered insurer or its parent company by virtue of its shareholding or its entitlement to exercise, or control the exercise of,
the voting power at any shareholders’ meeting.

A shareholder controller that owns 10% or more but less than 20% of the shares as described above is defined as a
10% shareholder controller; a shareholder controller that owns 20% or more but less than 33% of the shares as described
above is defined as a 20% shareholder controller; a shareholder controller that owns 33% or more but less than 50% of the
shares as described above is defined as a 33% shareholder controller; and a shareholder controller that owns 50% or more of
the shares as described above is defined as a 50% shareholder controller.

Where the shares of the shareholder of a registered insurer, or the shares of its parent company, are traded on a
recognised stock exchange, and such person becomes a 10%, 20%, 33% or 50% shareholder controller of the insurer, that
person shall, within 45 days, notify the BMA in writing that he has become such a controller.

Where the shares of a shareholder or prospective shareholder of an insurer, or the shares of its parent company, are
not traded on a recognised stock exchange (i.e. private companies), the Insurance Act prohibits such person from becoming a
shareholder controller unless he has first served on the BMA notice in writing stating that he intends to become such a
controller and the BMA has either, before the end of 45 days following the date of notification, provided notice to the
proposed controller that it does not object to his becoming such a controller or the full 45 days has elapsed without the BMA
filing an objection.

Any person who contravenes the Insurance Act by failing to give notice or knowingly becoming a controller of any
description before the required 45 days has elapsed is guilty of an offence and liable to a fine of $25,000 on summary
conviction.

The BMA may file a notice of objection to any person who has become a controller of any description where it
appears that such person is not, or is no longer, a fit and proper person to be a controller of the registered insurer. Before
issuing a notice of objection, the BMA is required to serve upon the person concerned a preliminary written notice stating the
BMA’s intention to issue formal notice of objection. Upon receipt of the preliminary written notice, the person served may,
within 28 days, file written representations with the BMA, which shall be taken into account by the BMA in making its final
determination. Any person who continues to be a controller of any description after having received a notice of objection
shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine of $25,000 (and a continuing fine of $500
per day for each day that the offence is continuing) or, if convicted on indictment, to a fine of $100,000 and/or two years in
prison.

Notification by Registered Person of Change of Controllers and Officers

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

Notification of Material Changes

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

No registered insurer shall take any steps to give effect to a material change unless it has first served notice on the
BMA that it intends to effect such material change and before the end of 14 days, either the BMA has notified such company
in writing that it has no objection to such change or that period has lapsed without the BMA having issued a notice of
objection.

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

Group Supervision

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

Where the BMA determines that it should act as the group supervisor, it shall designate a specified insurer that is a
member of the insurance group to be the designated insurer (the “Designated Insurer”) and it shall give to the Designated
Insurer and other competent authorities written notice of its intention to act as group supervisor. Once the BMA has been
designated as group supervisor, the Designated Insurer must ensure that an approved group actuary is appointed to provide an
opinion as to the adequacy of the insurance group’s insurance reserves as reported in its group statutory financial statements.

Pursuant to its powers under the Insurance Act, the BMA will maintain a register of particulars for every insurance
group for which it acts as the group supervisor detailing, among other things, the names and addresses of the Designated
Insurer; each member company of the insurance group falling within the scope of group supervision; the principal
representative of the insurance group in Bermuda; other competent authorities supervising other member companies of the
insurance group; and the insurance group auditors. The Designated Insurer must notify the BMA of any changes to the above
details entered on the register of an insurance group.

As group supervisor, the BMA will perform a number of supervisory functions including (i) coordinating the
gathering and dissemination of information which is of importance for the supervisory task of other competent authorities;
(ii) carrying out a supervisory review and assessment of the insurance group; (iii) carrying out an assessment of the insurance
group’s compliance with the rules on solvency, risk concentration, intra-group transactions and good governance procedures;
(iv) planning and coordinating, with other competent authorities, supervisory activities in respect of the insurance group, both
as a going concern and in emergency situations; (v) coordinating any enforcement action that may need to be taken against
the insurance group or any of its members; and (vi) planning and coordinating meetings of colleges of supervisors (consisting
of insurance regulators) in order to facilitate the carrying out of the functions described above.

In carrying out its functions, the BMA may make rules for (i) assessing the financial situation and the solvency
position of the insurance group and/or its members and (ii) regulating intra-group transactions, risk concentration,
governance procedures, risk management and regulatory reporting and disclosure.

We are not currently subject to group supervision, but the BMA may exercise its authority to act as our group

supervisor in the future.

Supervision, Investigation, Intervention and Disclosure

The BMA may, by notice in writing served on an insurer or a designated insurer (as described in “Group
Supervision” above), require the insurer or designated insurer to provide such information and/or documentation as the BMA
may reasonably require with respect to matters that are likely to be material to the performance of its supervisory functions
under the Insurance Act. In addition, it may require such person’s auditor, underwriter, accountant or any other person with
relevant professional skill to prepare a report on any aspect pertaining thereto. In the case of a report, the person so appointed
shall immediately give the BMA written notice of any fact or matter of which he becomes aware or which indicates to him
that any condition attaching to his registration under the Insurance Act is not or has not or may not be or may not have been
fulfilled and that such matters are likely to be material to the performance of its functions under the Insurance Act. If it
appears to the BMA to be desirable in the interests of the clients of an insurer or relevant insurance group, the BMA may also
exercise these powers in relation to subsidiaries, parent companies and other affiliates of the insurer or designated insurer.

If the BMA deems it necessary to protect the interests of the policyholders or potential policyholders of an insurer or
insurance group, it may appoint one or more competent persons to investigate and report on the nature, conduct or state of the
insurer’s or the insurance group’s business, or any aspect thereof, or the ownership or control of the insurer or insurance
group. If the person so appointed thinks it necessary for the purposes of his investigation, he may also investigate the
business of any person who is or has been at any relevant time, a member of the insurance group or of a partnership of which
the person being investigated is a member. In this regard, it shall be the duty of every person who is or was a controller,

officer, employee, agent, banker, auditor, accountant, barrister and attorney or insurance manager to produce to the person
appointed such documentation as he may reasonably require for purposes of his investigation, and to attend and answer
questions relevant to the investigation and to otherwise provide such assistance as may be necessary in connection therewith.

Where the BMA suspects that a person has failed to properly register under the Insurance Act or that an insurer or
designated insurer has failed to comply with a requirement of the Insurance Act or that a person is not, or is no longer, a fit
and proper person to perform functions in relation to a regulated activity, it may, by notice in writing, carry out an
investigation into such person (or any other person connected thereto). In connection therewith, the BMA may require every
person who is or was a controller, officer, employee, agent, banker, auditor, accountant, barrister and attorney or insurance
manager to make a report and produce such documents in his care, custody and control and to attend before the BMA to
answer questions relevant to the BMA’s investigation and to take such actions as the BMA may direct. The BMA may also
enter any premises for the purposes of carrying out its investigation and may petition the court for a warrant if it believes a
person has failed to comply with a notice served on him or there are reasonable grounds for suspecting the completeness of
any information or documentation produced in response to such notice or that its directions will not be complied with or that
any relevant documents would be removed, tampered with or destroyed.

If it appears to the BMA that the business of the insurer is being so conducted that there is a significant risk of the
insurer becoming insolvent, or that the insurer is in breach of the Insurance Act or any conditions imposed upon its
registration, or the minimum criteria stipulated in the Insurance Act is not or has not been fulfilled in respect of a registered
insurer, or that a person has become a controller without providing the BMA with the appropriate notice or in contravention
of a notice of objection, or the registered insurer is in breach of its ECR, or that a designated insurer is in breach of any
provision of the Insurance Act or the regulations or rules applicable to it, the BMA may issue such directions as appear
desirable for safeguarding the interests of policyholders or potential policyholders of the insurer or the insurance group. The
BMA may direct an insurer, for itself and in its capacity as designated insurer of the insurance group of which it is a member,
(1) not to take on any new insurance business, (2) not to vary any insurance contract if the effect would be to increase the
insurer’s liabilities, (3) not to make certain investments, (4) to realize certain investments, (5) to maintain in, or transfer to the
custody of, a specified bank, certain assets, (6) not to declare or pay any dividends or other distributions or to restrict the
making of such payments, (7) to limit its premium income, (8) not to enter into specified transactions with any specified
person or persons of a specified class, (9) to provide such written particulars relating to the financial circumstances of the
insurer as the BMA thinks fit, (10) (as an individual insurer only and not in its capacity as designated insurer) to obtain the
opinion of a loss reserve specialist and submit it to the BMA and/or (11) to remove a controller or officer.

The BMA has the power to assist other regulatory authorities, including foreign insurance regulatory authorities,
with their investigations involving insurance and reinsurance companies in Bermuda if it is satisfied that the assistance being
requested is in connection with the discharge of regulatory responsibilities and that such cooperation is in the public interest.
The grounds for disclosure by the BMA to a foreign regulatory authority without consent of the insurer are limited and the
Insurance Act provides for sanctions for breach of the statutory duty of confidentiality.

Cancellation of Insurer’s Registration

An insurer’s registration may be canceled by the BMA on certain grounds specified in the Insurance Act. Failure by
the insurer to comply with its obligations under the Insurance Act or if, the BMA believes that the insurer has not been
carrying on business in accordance with sound, could result in our registration to be canceled.

In addition to powers under the Insurance Act to investigate the affairs of an insurer, the BMA may require certain
information from an insurer (or certain other persons) to be produced to the BMA. Further, the BMA has been given powers
to assist other regulatory authorities, including foreign insurance regulatory authorities, with their investigations involving
insurance and reinsurance companies in Bermuda but subject to restrictions. For example, the BMA must be satisfied that the
assistance being requested is in connection with the discharge of regulatory responsibilities of the foreign regulatory
authority. Further, the BMA must consider whether cooperation is in the public interest. The grounds for disclosure are
limited and the Insurance Act provides for sanctions for breach of the statutory duty of confidentiality.

Certain Other Bermuda Law Considerations

All Bermuda “exempted companies” are exempt from certain Bermuda laws restricting the percentage of share
capital that may be held by non-Bermudians. However, exempted companies may not participate in certain business
transactions, including (i) the acquisition or holding of land in Bermuda except that required for their business and held by
way of lease or tenancy for terms of not more than 50 years or, with the consent of the Minister of Finance, land which is
used to provide accommodation or recreational facilities for officers and our employees for a term not exceeding 21 years,

(ii) the taking of mortgages on land in Bermuda to secure an amount in excess of $50,000 without the consent of the Minister,
(iii) the acquisition of any bonds or debentures secured by any land in Bermuda, other than certain types of Bermuda
government securities or securities issued by Bermuda public authorities or, (iv) the carrying on of business of any kind in
Bermuda, except in furtherance of the business carried on outside Bermuda or under license granted by the Minister.
Generally it is not permitted without a special license granted by the Minister to insure Bermuda domestic risks or risks of
persons of, in or based in Bermuda.

All Bermuda companies must comply with the provisions of the Companies Act regulating the payment of dividends
and making distributions from contributed surplus. A company may not declare or pay a dividend, or make a distribution out
of contributed surplus, if there are reasonable grounds for believing that: (i) the company is, or would after the payment be,
unable to pay its liabilities as they become due; or (ii) the realizable value of the company’s assets would thereby be less than
its liabilities.

United States Insurance Regulation

Third Point Re and Third Point Re USA are licensed in Bermuda to write reinsurance and are not admitted to do
business in any jurisdiction in the United States or in any country other than Bermuda. The insurance laws of each state of the
United States and of many foreign countries regulate the sale of insurance and reinsurance within their jurisdictions by alien
insurers and reinsurers, such as Third Point Re and Third Point Re USA.

Third Point Re and Third Point Re USA currently intend to conduct their business so as not to be subject to the
licensing requirements of insurance regulators in the United States or elsewhere (other than Bermuda). Many aspects of the
activities of Third Point Re and Third Point Re USA are similar to those employed by other non-admitted reinsurers that
provide reinsurance to U.S. and other ceding companies. There can be no assurance, however, that insurance regulators in the
United States or elsewhere will not review the activities of Third Point Re or Third Point Re USA and claim that Third Point
Re or Third Point Re USA is subject to such jurisdiction’s licensing requirements.

In addition to the regulatory requirements imposed by the jurisdictions in which they are licensed, reinsurers are
subject to indirect regulatory requirements imposed by jurisdictions in which their ceding companies are licensed through the
“credit for reinsurance” mechanism. In general, a ceding company which obtains reinsurance from a reinsurer that is licensed,
accredited or approved by the jurisdiction or state in which the insurer files statutory financial statements is permitted to
reflect in its statutory financial statements a credit in an aggregate amount equal to the liability for unearned premiums and
loss reserves and loss adjustment expense reserves ceded to the reinsurer.

In the United States, many states allow credit for reinsurance ceded to a reinsurer that is domiciled and licensed in
another state of the United States and meets certain financial requirements. A few states do not allow credit for reinsurance
ceded to non-licensed reinsurers except in certain limited circumstances and others impose additional requirements that make
it difficult to become accredited. The great majority of states, however, permit the reduction in statutory surplus resulting
from reinsurance obtained from a non-licensed or non-accredited reinsurer to be offset to the extent that the reinsurer
provides a letter of credit or other acceptable security arrangement, and a few states reduce the amount of security to be
posted based on a number of factors, including the credit rating given to a reinsurer from a U.S.-nationally recognised
statistical rating organization.

Information Technology

We have a disaster recovery plan with respect to our information technology infrastructure that includes
arrangements with an offshore data center. Our secondary off-island location for data systems back-up and recovery is
located in Toronto, Canada, due to its non-correlated nature with Bermuda. The environment is configured to be live within
one hour of a disaster scenario and supports all of the business capabilities of our primary Bermuda site.

Employees

As of December 31, 2014, we had 23 employees, 20 of whom were based in Bermuda, two of whom were based in
the United States and one of whom was based in the United Kingdom. We believe that our employee relations are good.
None of our employees are subject to collective bargaining agreements, and we are not aware of any current efforts to
implement such agreements.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

You should consider and read carefully all of the risks and uncertainties described below, as well as other
information included in this Annual Report, including our consolidated financial statements and related notes. The risks
described below are not the only ones facing us. The occurrence of any of the following risks or additional risks and
uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial could materially and adversely affect
our business, financial condition or results of operations. This Annual Report also contains forward-looking statements and
estimates that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the
forward-looking statements as a result of specific factors, including the risks and uncertainties described below.

Risks Related to Our Business

We are a three year old company with limited historical information available for investors to evaluate our performance
or a potential investment in our shares.

We have a limited history of operations. We were incorporated on October 6, 2011 and began underwriting
reinsurance transactions on January 1, 2012. TPREUSA and Third Point Re USA were formed in the fourth quarter of 2014
and, as of the date of this Annual Report, Third Point Re USA has not yet begun to write reinsurance contracts. Third Point
Re USA was capitalized in February 2015 and is expected to begin underwriting operations in March 2015. As a result, there
is limited historical information available to help prospective investors evaluate our performance or an investment in our
shares.

In general, reinsurance and insurance companies in their initial stages of development present substantial business
and financial risks and may suffer significant losses. They must develop business relationships, establish operating
procedures, hire staff, install information technology systems, implement management processes and complete other tasks
appropriate for the conduct of their intended business activities. In particular, our ability to implement our reinsurance
underwriting strategy will depend on, among other things:

•

our ability to attract clients;

our ability to attract and retain personnel with sufficient underwriting, actuarial, accounting and finance
expertise;

our ability to maintain at least an A- (Excellent) rating from A.M. Best or a similar financial strength rating
from one or more other ratings agencies;

our ability to evaluate the risks we assume under reinsurance contracts that we write;

•

our reliance on third parties, including Third Point LLC, to provide certain services; and

the risk of Third Point Reinsurance Ltd. being deemed a passive foreign investment company or an
investment company if we are deemed to not be in the active conduct of an insurance business or to not be
predominantly engaged in an insurance business. See “Risks Relating to Insurance and Other Regulations--
We are subject to the risk of becoming an investment company under U.S. federal securities law” and
“Risks Relating to Taxation-United States persons who own our shares may be subject to United States
federal income taxation on our undistributed earnings and may recognize ordinary income upon disposition
of shares.”

We cannot assure you that there will be sufficient demand for the reinsurance products we write and plan to write to

support our planned level of operations, or that we will accomplish the tasks necessary to implement our business strategy.

Our operational structure is not fully developed.

We are continuing to develop and implement our operational structure and enterprise framework, including
exposure management, financial reporting, information technology and internal controls, with which we will conduct our
business activities. Our operations are currently supplemented by manual processes, and we expect to migrate over time to a
more automated control system. While we use manual processes, our controls may not be adequate to identify or eliminate
risks. There can be no assurance that the development of our operational structure or the implementation of our enterprise
risk management framework will proceed smoothly or on our projected timetable or achieve the aforementioned goals.

The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make many estimates and judgments, which are even more
difficult than those made in a mature company, and that, if inaccurate, could cause additional volatility in our results.

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Management believes the
item that requires the most subjective and complex estimates is the reserve for losses and loss expenses. Due to our relatively
short operating history, loss experience is limited and reliable evidence of changes in trends of numbers of claims incurred,
average settlement amounts, numbers of claims outstanding and average losses per claim may take years to develop. In
addition, the possibility of future litigation or legislative change that may affect interpretation of policy terms further
increases the degree of uncertainty in the reserving process. The uncertainties inherent in the reserving process, together with
the potential for unforeseen developments, including changes in laws and the prevailing interpretation of policy terms, may
result in losses and loss expenses materially different from the reserves initially established. Changes to prior year reserves
will affect current underwriting results by increasing net income if the prior year reserves prove to be redundant or by
decreasing net income if the prior year reserves prove to be insufficient. We expect volatility in results in periods in which
significant loss events occur because U.S. GAAP does not permit insurers or reinsurers to reserve for loss events until they
have occurred and are expected to give rise to a claim. As a result, we are not allowed to record contingency reserves to
account for expected future losses. We anticipate that claims arising from future events may require the establishment of
substantial reserves from time to time.

Our results of operations fluctuate from period to period and may not be indicative of our long-term prospects.

The performance of our reinsurance operations and our investment portfolio fluctuate from period to period.

Fluctuations result from a variety of factors, including:

•

reinsurance contract pricing;

our assessment of the quality of available reinsurance opportunities;

the volume and mix of reinsurance products we underwrite;

loss experience on our reinsurance liabilities;

our ability to assess and integrate our risk management strategy properly; and

the performance of our investment portfolio.

In particular, we seek to underwrite products and make investments to achieve favorable return on equity over the
long term. In addition, our opportunistic nature and focus on long-term growth in book value result in fluctuations in total
premiums written from period to period as we concentrate on underwriting contracts that we believe will generate better

long-term, rather than short-term, results. Accordingly, our short-term results of operations may not be indicative of our long-
term prospects.

Established competitors with greater resources may make it difficult for us to effectively market our products or offer our
products at a profit.

The reinsurance industry is highly competitive. We compete with major reinsurers, many of which have
substantially greater financial, marketing and management resources than we do, as well as other potential providers of
capital willing to assume insurance or reinsurance risk. Competition in the types of business that we underwrite is based on
many factors, including:

•

price of reinsurance coverage;

the general reputation and perceived financial strength of the reinsurer;

relationships with reinsurance brokers;

terms and conditions of products offered;

ratings assigned by independent rating agencies;

speed of claims payment and reputation; and

the experience and reputation of the members of our underwriting team in the particular lines of
reinsurance we seek to underwrite.

Our competitors include, among others, ACE Limited, Alleghany Corporation, Arch Capital Group Ltd., AXIS
Capital Holdings Ltd., Catlin Group Ltd., Endurance Specialty Holdings Ltd., Everest Re Group, Ltd., Hamilton Insurance
Group Ltd., Hannover Rückversicherung AG, Maiden Holdings Ltd., Münchener Rückversicherungs-Gesellschaft AG.,
PartnerRe Ltd., Swiss Re Limited and Tokio Marine Holdings, Inc. In addition, Greenlight Reinsurance, Ltd. has a business
model similar to ours, and we expect to compete with them in many lines of business and geographies. In the future, we may
also have to compete for the type of reinsurance we intend to underwrite with new start-up companies that have a business
model similar to ours.

We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully in the reinsurance market. Our failure to compete
effectively would significantly and negatively affect our financial condition and results of operations and may increase the
likelihood that we are deemed to be a passive foreign investment company or an investment company. See “Risks Relating to
Insurance and Other Regulations-We are subject to the risk of becoming an investment company under U.S. federal securities
law” and “Risks Relating to Taxation-United States persons who own our shares may be subject to United States federal
income taxation on our undistributed earnings and may recognize ordinary income upon disposition of shares.”

If actual renewals of our existing contracts do not meet expectations, our premiums written in future years and our future
results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Many of our contracts are generally written for a one-year term. In our financial forecasting process, we make
assumptions about the renewal of our prior year’s contracts. The insurance and reinsurance industries have historically been
cyclical businesses with periods of intense competition, often based on price. If actual renewals do not meet expectations or if
we choose not to write on a renewal basis because of pricing conditions, our premiums written in future years and our future
operations would be materially adversely affected.

The inherent uncertainty of models and the use of such models as a tool to evaluate risk may have an adverse effect on
our financial results.

We make use of quantitative models to evaluate potential reinsurance transactions, to reserve for transactions once
they are bound and to assess our risk related to our reinsurance portfolio. These models have been developed internally and in
some cases they make use of third party software. The construction of these models and the selection of assumptions requires
significant actuarial judgment. Furthermore, these models typically rely on either cedent or industry data, both of which may
be incomplete or may be subject to errors. Given the inherent uncertainty in these models as well as the underlying
assumptions and data, the results of our models may not accurately address the emergence of a variety of matters which
might impact certain of our coverages. Accordingly, these models may understate the exposures we are assuming and our

financial results may be adversely impacted, perhaps significantly. Any such impact could also be felt across our reinsurance
contract portfolio, since similar models and judgment are used in analyzing the majority of our transactions.

Operational risks, including human or systems failures, are inherent in our business.

Operational risks and losses can result from many sources including fraud, errors by employees, failure to document
transactions properly or to obtain proper internal authorization, failure to comply with regulatory requirements or information
technology failures.

We believe our modeling, underwriting and information technology and application systems are critical to our
business and reputation. Moreover, our technology and applications are an important part of our underwriting process and our
ability to compete successfully. We have licensed certain systems and data from third parties. We cannot be certain that we
will have access to these, or comparable systems, or that our technology or applications will continue to operate as intended.
In addition, we cannot be certain that we would be able to replace these systems without slowing our underwriting response
time. A major defect or failure in our internal controls or information technology and application systems could result in
management distraction, harm to our reputation, a loss or delay of revenues or increased expense.

Technology breaches or failures, including those resulting from a malicious cyber-attack on us or our business partners
and service providers, could disrupt or otherwise negatively impact our business.

We rely on information technology systems to process, transmit, store and protect the electronic information,
financial data and proprietary models that are critical to our business. Furthermore, a significant portion of the
communications between our employees and our business, banking and investment partners depends on information
technology and electronic information exchange. Like all companies, our information technology systems are vulnerable to
data breaches, interruptions or failures due to events that may be beyond our control, including, but not limited to, natural
disasters, theft, terrorist attacks, computer viruses, hackers and general technology failures.

We believe that we have established and implemented appropriate security measures, controls and procedures to
safeguard our information technology systems and to prevent unauthorized access to such systems and any data processed or
stored in such systems, and we periodically evaluate and test the adequacy of such systems, controls and procedures. In
addition, we have established a business continuity plan which is designed to ensure that we are able to maintain all aspects
of our key business processes functioning in the midst of certain disruptive events, including any disruptions to or breaches of
our information technology systems. Our business continuity plan is routinely tested and evaluated for adequacy. Despite
these safeguards, disruptions to and breaches of our information technology systems are possible and may negatively impact
our business.

It is possible that insurance policies we have in place with third parties would not entirely protect us in the event that
we experienced a breach, interruption or widespread failure of our information technology systems. Furthermore, we have not
secured insurance coverage designed to specifically protect us from an economic loss resulting from such events.

Although we have never experienced any known or threatened cases involving unauthorized access to our
information technology systems or unauthorized appropriation of the data contained within such systems, we have no
assurance that such technology breaches will not occur in the future.

We may not be able to manage our growth effectively.

We intend to continue to grow our business in the future. In February 2015, we began reinsurance operations in the
United States through Third Point Re USA. This expansion, and future expansions and new physical presence, could require
additional capital, systems development and skilled personnel. We cannot assure you that we will be able to meet our capital
needs, expand our systems effectively, allocate our human resources optimally, identify and hire qualified employees or
incorporate effectively the components of any businesses we may acquire in our effort to achieve growth. Additionally, as we
grow, the ability of our management to source sufficient reasonably priced reinsurance business in the segments we target
may be limited. The failure to manage our growth effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, and results of operations.

Our losses may exceed our loss reserves, which could significantly and negatively affect our business.

Our results of operations and financial condition depends upon our ability to assess accurately the potential losses
associated with the risks we reinsure. Reserves are estimates of claims an insurer ultimately expects to pay, based upon facts
and circumstances known at the time, predictions of future events, estimates of future trends in claim severity and other
variable factors. The inherent uncertainties of estimating loss reserves generally are greater for reinsurance companies as
compared to primary insurers, primarily due to:

•

the lapse of time from the occurrence of an event to the reporting of the claim and the ultimate resolution or
settlement of the claim;

the diversity of development patterns among different types of reinsurance treaties; and

heavier reliance on the client for information regarding claims.

Actual losses and loss adjustment expenses paid may deviate substantially from the estimates of our loss reserves, to
our detriment. If we determine our loss reserves to be inadequate, we will increase our loss reserves with a corresponding
reduction in our net income in the period in which we identify the deficiency. Such a reduction would negatively affect our
results of operations. If our losses exceed our loss reserves, our financial condition may be significantly and negatively
affected.

As a recently formed reinsurance company, we do not have the benefit of extended loss experience with our cedents.
With additional time, we may determine that our cedents’ loss emergence, incurred and payment patterns are different from
those implied in the original submission data. Consequently, we may experience greater than average deviation in our loss
reserve estimates when compared to our more established competitors.

The failure of any of the loss limitation methods we employ could have a material adverse effect on our financial
condition and results of operations.

Although we seek to mitigate our loss exposure through a variety of methods, property and casualty reinsurance risk
is inherently unpredictable. It is difficult to predict the timing, frequency and severity of loss events with statistical certainty
or estimate the amount of loss any given occurrence will generate. It is not possible to completely eliminate our exposure to
unforecasted or unpredictable events and, to the extent that losses from such risks occur, our financial condition and results of
operations could be materially adversely affected.

We seek to manage reinsurance volatility by focusing on lines of business that have historically demonstrated more
stable return characteristics, such as property quota share, auto, and workers’ compensation. These lines of business are often
characterized as having exposure to higher frequency and lower severity claims activity, although this has not always been
the case. We seek to further manage the volatility of our reinsurance results by writing policies on a quota share basis and
through the use of contractual terms and conditions, such as loss ratio caps, within our reinsurance contracts. However, there
can be no assurance that these terms and conditions will be effective in mitigating our exposure. The failure or
ineffectiveness of any of our terms and conditions could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results
of operations.

In addition, in contrast to many reinsurers with whom we compete, we have elected to limit our underwriting of
property catastrophe exposures. Through December 2014, we wrote excess of loss catastrophe reinsurance through the
Catastrophe Fund, which is a separately capitalized reinsurance fund vehicle. In December 2014, we announced that we
would no longer accept investments in the Catastrophe Fund, that no new business would be written in the Catastrophe
Reinsurer and that we would be redeeming all existing investments in the Catastrophe Fund. The Catastrophe Fund Manager
will continue to manage the runoff of the remaining exposure in the Catastrophe Fund.

We also write reinsurance contracts that seek to provide protection against adverse development on loss reserves.
We seek to provide this type of coverage only on relatively stable reserves where we agree with the client’s reserving
practices and actuarially determined reserve levels.

The property and casualty reinsurance industry is highly cyclical, and we expect to continue to experience periods
characterized by excess underwriting capacity and unfavorable premium rates.

Historically, reinsurers have experienced significant fluctuations in operating results due to competition, frequency
of occurrence or severity of catastrophic events, levels of capacity, general economic conditions, changes in equity, debt and
other investment markets, changes in legislation, case law and prevailing concepts of liability and other factors. In particular,
demand for reinsurance is influenced significantly by the underwriting results of primary insurers and prevailing general
economic conditions. The supply of reinsurance is related to prevailing prices and levels of surplus capacity that, in turn, may
fluctuate in response to changes in rates of return being realized in the reinsurance industry on both underwriting and
investment sides.

As a result, the reinsurance business historically has been a cyclical industry characterized by periods of intense
price competition due to high levels of available underwriting capacity as well as periods when shortages of capacity have
permitted favorable premium levels and changes in terms and conditions. The supply of available reinsurance capital has
increased over the past several years and may increase further, either as a result of capital provided by new entrants or by the
commitment of additional capital by existing insurers or reinsurers.

Continued increases in the supply of reinsurance may have consequences for us and for the reinsurance insurance
generally, including fewer contracts written, lower premium rates, increased expenses for customer acquisition and retention,
and less favorable policy terms and conditions. As a result, we may be unable to fully execute our reinsurance strategy of
selling lower-volatility business. The effects of cyclicality could significantly and negatively affect our financial condition
and results of operations and could limit their comparability from period to period and year over year.

The effect of emerging claim and coverage issues on our business is uncertain.

As industry practices and legal, judicial and regulatory conditions change, unexpected issues related to claims and
coverage may emerge. Various provisions of our contracts, such as limitations or exclusions from coverage or choice of
forum, may be difficult to enforce in the manner we intend, due to, among other things, disputes relating to coverage and
choice of legal forum. These issues may adversely affect our business by either extending coverage beyond the period that we
intended or by increasing the number or size of claims. In some instances, these changes may not manifest themselves until
many years after we have issued insurance or reinsurance contracts that are affected by these changes. As a result, we may
not be able to ascertain the full extent of our liabilities under our insurance or reinsurance contracts for many years following
the issuance of our contracts. The effects of unforeseen development or substantial government intervention could adversely
impact our ability to adhere to our goals.

A downgrade or withdrawal of our A.M. Best rating would significantly and negatively affect our ability to implement our
business strategy successfully.

Companies, insurers and reinsurance brokers use ratings from independent ratings agencies as an important means
of assessing the financial strength and quality of reinsurers. A.M. Best has assigned each of our reinsurance company
subsidiaries a financial strength rating of A- (Excellent), which is the fourth highest of 15 ratings that A.M. Best issues. This
rating reflects the rating agency’s opinion of the applicable insurer’s financial strength, operating performance and ability to
meet obligations. It is not an evaluation directed toward the protection of investors or a recommendation to buy, sell or hold
our shares. A.M. Best periodically reviews our rating, and may revise it downward or revoke it at its sole discretion based
primarily on its analysis of our balance sheet strength, operating performance and business profile. Factors which may affect
such an analysis include:

•

if we change our business practices from our organizational business plan in a manner that no longer
supports A.M. Best’s initial rating;

if unfavorable financial or market trends impact us;

if losses exceed loss reserves;

if we are unable to retain our senior management and other key personnel;

if our investment portfolio incurs significant losses; or

if A.M. Best alters its capital adequacy assessment methodology in a manner that would adversely affect
the rating of Third Point Re or Third Point Re USA.

If A.M. Best downgrades the rating of either of Third Point Re or Third Point Re USA below A- (Excellent), places
either reinsurer on credit watch or withdraws its rating, we could be severely limited or prevented from writing any new
reinsurance contracts from the affected reinsurer which would significantly and negatively affect our ability to implement our
business strategy. A downgrade may also require us to establish trusts or post letters of credit for ceding company clients. In
addition, almost all of our reinsurance contracts provide the client with the right to terminate the agreement or require us to
transfer premiums on a funds withheld basis if our A- (Excellent) A.M. Best rating is downgraded. The contracts containing
such a termination right represented approximately 76.4% of gross premiums written during 2014, 86.0% of gross premiums
written during 2013 and 95.8% of gross premiums written during 2012.

In February 2015, Third Point Re (USA) Holdings Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary, completed a public offering of
$115.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.00% senior notes due 2025 (the “Senior Notes”) for which, A.M. Best has
assigned a debt rating of bbb-. The Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed (the “Guarantee”) by Third Point
Reinsurance Ltd. In certain circumstances, a downgrade of the rating assigned to the Senior Notes would result in an increase
in the annual interest rate payable on the Senior Notes or, if a change of control of TPRE has also occurred, an obligation for
us to make an offer to repurchase the Senior Notes at a premium. Either of these outcomes would require use of cash that we
might otherwise use in operating our business; further, we may not have sufficient funds to satisfy these obligations, which
could result in an event of default under the indenture governing the Senior Notes. See “-Inability to service our indebtedness
could adversely affect our liquidity and financial condition and could potentially result in a downgrade or withdrawal of our
credit ratings, any of which would adversely affect our ability to implement our business strategy.”

A significant decrease in our capital or surplus could enable certain clients to terminate reinsurance agreements or to
require additional collateral.

Certain of our reinsurance contracts contain provisions that permit our clients to cancel the contract or require
additional collateral in the event of a downgrade in our ratings below specified levels or a reduction of our capital or surplus
below specified levels over the course of the agreement. Whether a client would exercise such cancellation rights would
likely depend, among other things, on the reason the provision is triggered, the prevailing market conditions, the degree of
unexpired coverage and the pricing and availability of replacement reinsurance coverage.

If any such provisions were to become exercisable, we cannot predict whether or how many of our clients would
actually exercise such rights or the extent to which they would have a significant and negative effect on our financial
condition, results of operations or future prospects but they could have a significant adverse effect on our operations.

We are dependent on key executives, the loss of whom could adversely affect our business.

Our future success depends to a significant extent on the efforts of our senior management, in particular Mr. Berger,
and other key personnel, such as our President and Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer, our Chief Reserving
Actuary, our Chief Risk Officer and our senior underwriting executives, to implement our business strategy. We believe there
are only a limited number of available and qualified executives with substantial experience in our industry. Accordingly, the
loss of the services of one or more of the members of our senior management, in particular Mr. Berger, or other key
personnel could delay or prevent us from fully implementing our business strategy and, consequently, significantly and
negatively affect our business.

We do not currently maintain key man life insurance with respect to any of our senior management. If any member
of senior management dies or becomes incapacitated, or leaves the company to pursue employment opportunities elsewhere,
we would be solely responsible for locating an adequate replacement for such senior management and for bearing any related
cost. To the extent that we are unable to locate an adequate replacement or are unable to do so within a reasonable period of
time, our business may be significantly and negatively affected.

In addition, our business operations require the services of a number of specialized employees to carry out day-to-
day business operations. There can be no assurance that we can attract and retain the necessary employees to conduct our
business activities on a timely basis or at all.

Our inability to provide collateral to certain counterparties on commercially acceptable terms as we grow could
significantly and negatively affect our ability to implement our business strategy.

Neither Third Point Re nor Third Point Re USA is licensed or admitted as a reinsurer in any jurisdiction other than
Bermuda. Certain jurisdictions, including in the United States, do not permit insurance companies to take statutory credit for
reinsurance obtained from unlicensed or non-admitted insurers unless appropriate security measures are implemented.
Consequently, certain clients require us to obtain a letter of credit or provide other collateral through funds withheld or trust
arrangements. In connection with obtaining letter of credit facilities, we are typically required to provide customary collateral
to the letter of credit provider in order to secure our obligations under the facility. Our ability to provide collateral, and the
costs at which we provide collateral, is primarily dependent on the composition of our investment portfolio.

Typically, both letters of credit and collateral trust agreements are collateralized with cash or fixed-income
securities. Banks may be willing to accept our investment portfolio as collateral, but on terms that may be less favorable to us
than reinsurance companies that invest solely or predominantly in fixed-income securities. The inability to renew, maintain or
obtain letters of credit or to source acceptable collateral for letters of credit or collateral trust agreements may significantly
limit the amount of reinsurance we can write or require us to modify our investment strategy.

We may need additional collateral capacity as we grow, and if we are unable to renew, maintain or increase our
collateral capacity or are unable to do so on commercially acceptable terms, such a development could significantly and
negatively affect our ability to implement our business strategy.

Our ability to pay dividends may be constrained by our holding company structure and certain regulatory and other
factors.

Third Point Reinsurance Ltd. is a holding company that conducts no reinsurance operations of its own. The majority
of our reinsurance operations are currently conducted through our wholly-owned operating subsidiary, Third Point Re, and
Third Point Re may also receive income relating to its investment in the Catastrophe Fund. In December 2014, we announced
that we would no longer accept investments in the Catastrophe Fund, that no new business would be written in the
Catastrophe Reinsurer and that we would be redeeming all existing investments in the Catastrophe Fund. In the future, we
expect that a significant portion of our operations will be conducted through Third Point Re USA, our indirect wholly owned
subsidiary that focuses on U.S. reinsurance business. Our cash flows currently consist primarily of dividends and other
permissible payments from Third Point Re. In the future, we expect that a portion of our cash flows will consist of dividends
and other permissible payments from Third Point Re USA. Third Point Reinsurance Ltd. depends on such payments to
receive funds to meet its obligations, including the payment of any dividends and other distributions to our shareholders and
any payment obligations in respect of its guarantee of the senior notes issued by TPRUSA in February 2015. See “Inability to
service our indebtedness could adversely affect our liquidity and financial condition and could potentially result in a
downgrade or withdrawal of our credit ratings, any of which would adversely affect our ability to implement our business
strategy.”

Third Point Reinsurance Ltd. is indirectly subject to Bermuda regulatory constraints placed on Third Point Re, Third
Point Re USA, and the Catastrophe Reinsurer, which is the licensed special purpose insurer that historically wrote
reinsurance contracts for the Catastrophe Fund. This affects our ability to pay dividends on the shares and make other
payments. Under the Insurance Act, Third Point Re and Third Point Re USA, as Class 4 insurers, are prohibited from
declaring or paying a dividend if it is in breach of its minimum solvency margin (“MSM”), enhanced capital ratio (“ECR”) or
minimum liquidity ratio or if the declaration or payment of such dividend would cause such a breach. Where either Third
Point Re or Third Point USA, as Class 4 insurers, fails to meet its MSM or minimum liquidity ratio on the last day of any
financial year, they are prohibited from declaring or paying any dividends during the next financial year without the approval
of the BMA.

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

The Catastrophe Reinsurer, as a special purpose insurer, is prohibited from declaring or paying any dividends during
any financial year if it is in breach of its minimum solvency margin or if the declaration or payment of such dividends would

cause it to fail to meet such minimum margin. If the Catastrophe Reinsurer, as a special purpose insurer, were to fail to meet
its minimum solvency margin on the last day of any financial year, it would be prohibited from declaring or paying any
dividends during the next financial year without the approval of the BMA.

In addition, under the Bermuda Companies Act 1981, as amended (the “Companies Act”), Bermuda companies such
as Third Point Reinsurance Ltd., Third Point Re, Third Point Re USA and the Catastrophe Reinsurer may not declare or pay a
dividend if there are reasonable grounds for believing that the relevant Bermuda company is, or would after the payment be,
unable to pay its liabilities as they become due or that the realizable value of its assets would thereby be less than its
liabilities.

Inability to service our indebtedness could adversely affect our liquidity and financial condition and could potentially
result in a downgrade or withdrawal of our credit ratings, any of which would adversely affect our ability to implement
our business strategy.

In February 2015, Third Point Re (USA) Holdings Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary, completed a public offering of
$115.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes. The Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed
(the “Guarantee”) by Third Point Reinsurance Ltd.

The Senior Notes are an obligation of TPRUSA, and the Guarantee is an obligation of TPRE. Each of TPRUSA and
TPRE is a holding company and, accordingly, conduct substantially all operations through their respective operating
subsidiaries. As a result, TPRUSA’s cash flow and its ability to service its debt, as well as TPRE’s ability to satisfy its
obligations pursuant to the Guarantee, depend upon the earnings of their respective operating subsidiaries and on the
distribution of earnings, loans or other payments from such subsidiaries to TPRUSA or TPRE, as applicable. See “Risk
Factors-Our ability to pay dividends may be constrained by our holding company structure and certain regulatory and other
factors.”

The operating subsidiaries of TPRUSA and TPRE are separate and distinct legal entities and have no obligation to
pay any amounts due on the Senior Notes or the Guarantee or to provide TPRUSA or TPRE with funds for their respective
payment obligations, whether by dividends, distributions, loans or other payments. There can be no assurance that our
operating subsidiaries will generate sufficient cash flow from operations, or that future financing sources will be available to
us in amounts sufficient to satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness, to refinance our indebtedness on acceptable terms
or at all, or to fund our other business needs. In addition to being limited by the financial condition and operating
requirements of such subsidiaries, any payment of dividends, distributions, loans or advances by TPRUSA’s or TPRE’s
subsidiaries to TPRUSA or TPRE could be subject to statutory or contractual restrictions. Moreover, since certain of
TPRUSA’s and TPRE’s respective subsidiaries are insurance companies, their ability to pay dividends to TPRUSA or TPRE,
as applicable, is subject to regulatory limitations. See “Business-Regulation.”

To the extent that either TPRUSA or TPRE needs funds but its subsidiaries are restricted from making such
distributions under applicable law or regulation, or are otherwise unable to distribute funds, the liquidity and financial
condition of TPRUSA or TPRE, as applicable, would be adversely affected and we would potentially be unable to satisfy our
obligations under the Senior Notes, the Guarantee or any other indebtedness. If we cannot service our indebtedness, the
implementation of our business strategy would be impeded, and we could be prevented from entering into transactions that
would otherwise benefit our business.

The rights of TPRUSA and TPRE to receive any assets of any of their respective subsidiaries upon liquidation or
reorganization of such subsidiaries, and therefore the rights of the holders of the Senior Notes, to participate in those assets,
will be structurally subordinated to the claims of such subsidiary’s creditors. In addition, even if TPRUSA or TPRE were a
creditor of any of their respective subsidiaries, the rights of TPRUSA or TPRE, as applicable, as a creditor would be
subordinate to any security interest in the assets of such subsidiaries and any indebtedness of such subsidiaries senior to that
held by it. The Senior Notes and the Guarantee would also be structurally subordinated to the rights of the holders of any
preferred stock or shares issued by the subsidiaries of either TPRUSA or TPRE, as applicable, whether currently outstanding
or issued hereafter. Moreover, the rights of shareholders of TPRE to receive any assets of TPRE upon liquidation or
reorganization of TPRE would be subordinate to all of the foregoing claims.

Our indebtedness may limit cash flow available to invest in the ongoing needs of our business, and may otherwise place us
at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors.

We could in the future incur additional indebtedness in addition to the Senior Notes. The indenture governing the
Senior Notes does not limit the amount of additional indebtedness we may incur. Our debt combined with our other financial
obligations and contractual commitments could have significant adverse consequences, including:

•

requiring us to dedicate a substantial portion of cash flow from operations to the payment of interest on,
and principal of, our debt, which will reduce the amounts available to fund working capital, the expansion
of our business and other general corporate purposes;

increasing our vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry and market conditions, and
exposing us to the risk of increased interest rates;

obligating us to additional restrictive covenants that may reduce our ability to take certain corporate actions
or obtain further debt or equity financing;

making it more difficult for us to make payments on our existing or future obligations;

limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we
compete; and

placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt or better debt
servicing options.

In addition, a failure to comply with the covenants under our debt instruments could result in an event of default
under those instruments. In the event of an acceleration of amounts due under our debt instruments as a result of an event of
default, we may not have sufficient funds and may be unable to arrange for additional financing to repay our indebtedness,
and the lenders could seek to enforce security interests in the collateral securing such indebtedness.

We may not have the ability to raise the funds necessary to pay the principal of or interest on the Senior Notes.

At maturity, the entire principal amount of the Senior Notes then outstanding, plus any accrued and unpaid interest,
will become due and payable. TPRUSA must pay interest in cash on the Senior Notes on and of each year, beginning August
13, 2015. The amount of interest payable on the Senior Notes is subject to increase from time to time in the event of a
downgrade of the rating assigned to the Senior Notes or in connection with certain other events. In addition, upon the
occurrence of a change of control triggering event described in the indenture governing the Senior Notes, unless we have
exercised our right to redeem the Senior Notes in accordance with their terms, each holder of Senior Notes will have the right
to require us to repurchase all or any part of such holder’s Senior Notes for a payment in cash described in the indenture
governing the Senior Notes.

We may not have enough available cash or be able to obtain sufficient financing at the time we are required to make
these payments. Furthermore, our ability to make these payments may be limited by law, by regulatory authority or by
agreements governing future indebtedness. Our failure to pay interest when due, if uncured for 30 days, or our failure to pay
the principal amount when due, will constitute an event of default under the indenture governing the Senior Notes. A default
under the indenture could also lead to a default under agreements governing future indebtedness. If the repayment of that
indebtedness is accelerated as a result, then we may not have sufficient funds to repay that indebtedness or to pay the
principal of or interest on the Senior Notes.

We may need additional capital in the future in order to operate our business, and such capital may not be available to us
or may not be available to us on acceptable terms. Furthermore, additional capital raising could dilute your ownership
interest in our company and may cause the value of the shares to decline.

We may need to raise additional capital in the future through offerings of debt or equity securities or otherwise to:

•

fund liquidity needs caused by underwriting or investment losses;

replace capital lost in the event of significant reinsurance losses or adverse reserve developments;

•

satisfy letters of credit or guarantee bond requirements that may be imposed by our clients or by regulators;

meet rating agency or regulatory capital requirements; or

respond to competitive pressures.

In February 2015, we completed a public offering of $115.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes
issued by TPRUSA and guaranteed by Third Point Reinsurance Ltd. pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3. These
Senior Notes are structurally senior to claims that any holders of our common shares may have on the assets of Third Point
Reinsurance Ltd.

Additional capital may not be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. Further, any additional capital raised
through the sale of equity could dilute your ownership interest in our company and may cause the value of our shares to
decline. Additional capital raised through the issuance of debt may result in creditors having rights, preferences and
privileges senior or otherwise superior to those of the holders of our shares.

Changing climate conditions may adversely affect our financial condition, profitability or cash flows.

Climate change, to the extent it produces extreme changes in temperatures and changes in weather patterns, could
affect the frequency or severity of weather events. Further, it could reduce the affordability and availability of homeowners
insurance, which could have an effect on pricing. Changes in weather patterns could also affect the frequency and severity of
other natural catastrophe events to which we may be exposed. For example, due to the severe drought that impacted most of
the U.S. farm belt in 2012, we suffered a $10.0 million underwriting loss on $42.5 million of earned crop premium.

Our reinsurance operations may make us vulnerable to losses from catastrophes and may cause our results of operations
to vary significantly from period to period.

While neither Third Point Re nor Third Point Re USA, our Class 4 reinsurers, currently directly underwrites
catastrophe exposed reinsurance business on an excess of loss basis, in 2012 we launched an open-ended catastrophe
reinsurance fund with an exposure to a diversified portfolio of peak zone natural catastrophe risk. Involvement in catastrophe
exposed excess of loss reinsurance through our investment in the Catastrophe Fund exposes us to claims arising out of
unpredictable catastrophic events, such as hurricanes, hailstorms, tornadoes, windstorms, severe winter weather, earthquakes,
floods, droughts, fires, explosions, volcanic eruptions, acts of war or terrorism or political unrest and other natural or man-
made disasters. The incidence and severity of catastrophes are inherently unpredictable but the loss experience of property
catastrophe reinsurers has been generally characterized as low frequency and high severity. Claims from catastrophic events
could reduce our earnings and cause heightened volatility in our results of operations for any fiscal quarter or year.

In December 2014, we announced that we would no longer accept investments in the Catastrophe Fund, that no new
business would be written in the Catastrophe Reinsurer and that we would be redeeming all existing investments in the
Catastrophe Fund. As of December 31, 2014, our financial exposure to the higher volatility and liquidity risks associated with
property catastrophe losses was generally limited to our investment in the Catastrophe Fund, which as of December 31, 2014
was $59.5 million. As there are no additional guarantees or recourse to us beyond these investments, we anticipate that our
property catastrophe exposures will consistently remain relatively low when compared to our competitors. However, there
can be no assurance that this business will not experience losses associated with contracts currently bound.

On December 18, 2014, we entered into a subscription agreement with the Kiskadee Fund to invest up to $25.0
million in Hiscox’s separately managed insurance-linked securities platform, Kiskadee Re Ltd. The Kiskadee Fund is a fund
vehicle managed by Hiscox. The Kiskadee Fund invests in property catastrophe exposures through collateralized reinsurance
transactions and other insurance-linked investments.

In addition, we are exposed to the impact of catastrophic events, in some cases, through the multi-line reinsurance
contracts written by Third Point Re, as significant disasters or weather events can result in increased claims under certain
lines of business. If a natural or man-made disaster, including industrial accidents, acts of wars or terrorism or political unrest
or systemic cyber-security events, were to significantly increase the amount of claims payable under the types of property and
casualty reinsurance written by Third Point Re, our consolidated results of operation could be materially and adversely
affected.

We depend on our clients’ evaluations of the risks associated with their insurance underwriting, which may subject us to
reinsurance losses.

In most of our quota share reinsurance business we do not separately evaluate each of the original individual risks
assumed under these reinsurance contracts. We instead evaluate the underwriting processes and environment at the ceding
companies we work with to assess the risks associated with their portfolios. Therefore, we are dependent on the original
underwriting decisions made by ceding companies. We are subject to the risk that the clients may not have adequately
evaluated the insured risks and that the premiums ceded may not adequately compensate us for the risks we assume. We also
do not separately evaluate each of the individual claims made on the underlying insurance contracts. Therefore, we are
dependent on the original claims decisions made by our clients. We are subject to the risk that the client may pay invalid
claims, which could result in reinsurance losses for us.

The involvement of reinsurance brokers subjects us to their credit risk.

In accordance with industry practice, we frequently pay amounts owed on claims under our policies to reinsurance
brokers, and these brokers, in turn, remit these amounts to the ceding companies that have reinsured a portion of their
liabilities with us. In some jurisdictions, if a broker fails to make such a payment, we might remain liable to the client for the
deficiency notwithstanding the broker’s obligation to make such payment. Conversely, in certain jurisdictions, when the
client pays premiums for policies to reinsurance brokers for payment to us, these premiums are considered to have been paid
and the client will no longer be liable to us for these premiums, whether or not we have actually received them.
Consequently, we assume a degree of credit risk associated with reinsurance brokers around the world.

The inability to obtain business provided from brokers could adversely affect our business strategy and results of
operations.

We market our reinsurance worldwide primarily through reinsurance brokers. Business placed by our top three
reinsurance brokers, Guy Carpenter & Company, LLC, Aon Benfield, and JLT Re, accounted for approximately 21.9%,
17.8% and 16.6% of our gross premiums written since inception. Affiliates of several brokers have also co-sponsored the
formation of Bermuda reinsurance companies that may compete with us, and these brokers may favor their own reinsurers
over other companies. Loss of all or a substantial portion of the business provided by one or more of these brokers could have
a material adverse effect on our business.

We may be unable to purchase reinsurance for the liabilities we reinsure, and if we successfully purchase such
reinsurance, we may be unable to collect, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of
operations.

While we did not purchase retrocessional coverage in 2012, we began to do so in 2013 and 2014 and may continue
to do so in the future, in order to mitigate the effect of a potential concentration of losses upon our financial condition. The
insolvency or inability or refusal of a reinsurer to make payments under the terms of its agreement with us could have an
adverse effect on us because we remain liable to our client. From time to time, market conditions have limited, and in some
cases have prevented, reinsurers from obtaining the types and amounts of retrocession that they consider adequate for their
business needs. Accordingly, we may not be able to obtain our desired amounts of retrocessional coverage or negotiate terms
that we deem appropriate or acceptable or obtain retrocession from entities with satisfactory creditworthiness. Our failure to
establish adequate retrocessional arrangements or the failure of our retrocessional arrangements to protect us from overly
concentrated risk exposure could significantly and negatively affect our business, financial condition and results of
operations.

Currency fluctuations could result in exchange rate losses and negatively impact our business.

Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar. Starting in 2014, we wrote a portion of our business and received
premiums in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. In addition, our investment manager, Third Point LLC, invests a portion of
our portfolio in assets denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Consequently, we may experience exchange rate
losses to the extent our foreign currency exposure is not hedged or is not sufficiently hedged, which could significantly and
negatively affect our business. If we do seek to hedge our foreign currency exposure through the use of forward foreign
currency exchange contracts or currency swaps, we may be subject to the risk that our counterparties to the arrangements fail
to perform.

Our ability to implement our business strategy could be delayed or adversely affected by Bermuda employment restrictions
relating to the ability to obtain and retain work permits for key employees in Bermuda.

Under Bermuda law, non-Bermudians (other than spouses of Bermudians and permanent resident’s certificate
holders) may not engage in any gainful occupation in Bermuda without an appropriate governmental work permit. A work
permit may be granted or renewed upon showing that, after proper public advertisement, no Bermudian (or spouse of a
Bermudian or a holder of a permanent resident’s certificate or holder of a working resident’s certificate) is available who
meets the minimum standards reasonably required by the employer. A work permit is issued with an expiry date (up to ten
years) and no assurances can be given that any work permit will be issued or, if issued, renewed upon the expiration of the
relevant term. Our success depends in part on the continued services of key employees in Bermuda, and our Chief Executive
Officer, our President and Chief Operating Officer, Chief Reserving Actuary and some of our senior underwriting executives
are not Bermudians, spouses of Bermudians or permanent resident certificate holders. If work permits are not obtained, or are
not renewed, for our principal employees, we would lose their services, which could materially affect our businesses.

We face risks arising from future strategic transactions such as acquisitions, dispositions, mergers or joint ventures.

We may pursue strategic transactions in the future, which could involve acquisitions or dispositions of businesses or
assets. Any future strategic transactions could have an adverse impact on our reputation, business, results of operation or
financial condition. We face a number of risks arising from these types of transaction, including financial, accounting, tax
and regulatory challenges; difficulties with integration, business retention, execution of strategy, unforeseen liabilities or
market conditions; and other managerial or operating risks and challenges. Any future transactions could also subject us to
risks such as failure to obtain appropriate value, post-closing claims being levied against us and disruption to our other
businesses during the negotiation or execution process or thereafter. Accordingly, these risks and difficulties may prevent us
from realizing the expected benefits from the strategic transactions we enter into. For example, the businesses that we acquire
or our strategic alliances or joint ventures may underperform relative to the price paid or resources committed by us; we may
not achieve anticipated cost savings; or we may otherwise be adversely affected by transaction-related charges.

Through our strategic transactions, we may also assume unknown or undisclosed business, operational, tax,
regulatory and other liabilities, fail to properly assess known contingent liabilities, or assume businesses with internal control
deficiencies. Risk-mitigating provisions that we put in place in the course of negotiating and executing these transactions,
such as due diligence efforts and indemnification provisions, may not be sufficient to fully address these liabilities and
contingencies.

Risks Relating to Our Investment Strategy and Investment Manager

We have limited control over how our investment portfolio is allocated, and its performance depends on the ability of our
investment manager, Third Point LLC, to select and manage appropriate investments.

We have engaged Third Point LLC to act as our exclusive investment manager for substantially all of our
investment portfolio and to recommend appropriate investment opportunities. Although Third Point LLC is contractually
obligated to follow our investment guidelines, we cannot assure shareholders as to exactly how assets will be allocated to
different investment opportunities, including long and short positions and derivatives trading, which could increase the level
of risk in our investment.

The performance of our investment portfolio depends to a great extent on the ability of Third Point LLC, as our
investment manager to select and manage appropriate investments. We have entered into two investment management
agreements with Third Point LLC which terminate on December 22, 2016 and are subject to automatic renewal for additional
successive three-year terms unless a party notifies the other parties at least six months prior to the end of a term that it wishes
to terminate the investment management agreement at the end of such term. We have limited ability to terminate the
investment management agreements earlier. We cannot assure you that Third Point LLC will be successful in meeting our
investment objectives. The failure of Third Point LLC to perform adequately could significantly and negatively affect our
business, results of operations and financial condition.

The historical performance of Third Point LLC should not be considered as indicative of the future results of our
investment portfolio or of our future results or of any returns expected on our common shares.

The historical returns of the funds managed by Third Point LLC are not directly linked to returns on our common
shares. Although as our investment manager, Third Point LLC has agreed to invest our portfolio on substantially the same
basis as Third Point LLC’s hedge funds, results for our investment portfolio could differ from results of the funds managed
by Third Point LLC as a result of restrictions imposed by our investment guidelines. In addition, even if our investment
portfolio generates investment income in a given period, our overall performance could be adversely affected by losses
generated by our reinsurance operations. Poor performance of our investment portfolio will cause a decline in our revenue
from that portfolio and will therefore have a negative effect on our financial performance.

Moreover, with respect to the historical performance of funds or accounts managed by Third Point LLC, including

our investment portfolio:

•

the historical performance of funds managed by Third Point LLC should not be considered indicative of the
future results that should be expected from our investment portfolio; and

the returns of funds managed by Third Point LLC have benefited historically from investment opportunities
and general market conditions that currently may not exist and may not repeat themselves, and there can be
no assurance that Third Point LLC will be able to avail itself of profitable investment opportunities in the
future.

The risks associated with Third Point LLC’s strategy in managing our investment portfolio may be substantially greater
than the investment risks faced by other reinsurers with whom we compete.

We may derive a significant portion of our income from our investment portfolio. As a result, our operating results
depend in part on the performance of our investment portfolio. We cannot assure you that Third Point LLC, as our investment
manager, will successfully structure our investments in relation to our anticipated liabilities. Failure to do so could force us to
liquidate investments at a significant loss or at prices that are not optimal, which could significantly and adversely affect our
financial results.

The risks associated with Third Point LLC’s investment strategy may be substantially greater than the risks
associated with traditional fixed-income investment strategies employed by many reinsurers with whom we compete. Third
Point LLC makes investments globally, in both developed and emerging markets, in all sectors, and in equity, credit,
commodity, currency, option and other instruments with a focus on event-driven situations, in which Third Point LLC
believes that a catalyst, either intrinsic or extrinsic, will unlock value or alter the lens through which the greater market values
a particular investment. Making long equity investments in an up or rising market may increase the risk of not generating
profits on these investments and we may incur losses if the market declines. Similarly, making short equity investments in a
down or falling market may increase the risk of not generating profits on these investments and we may incur losses if the
market rises. The market price of our common shares may be volatile and the risk of loss may be greater when compared with
other reinsurance companies.

Although we conduct our business through our Class 4 Bermuda licensed insurance subsidiaries as operating
reinsurance businesses actively engaged in writing property and casualty coverage, because our investment portfolio as
managed by Third Point LLC may include a very small number of futures, options on futures, swaps and other commodity
interests from time to time, we are exposed to the risk that the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the “CFTC”)
could assert that our business has been operated for the purpose of trading commodity interests and that we are, therefore, a
commodity pool. If this were to occur, our investment strategy and our business could be disrupted as we would be required
to have a registered commodity pool operator in order to continue to include investments in commodity interests in our
investment portfolio. Registered commodity pool operators are subject to disclosure, reporting and record keeping
requirements with respect to the pools they operate. In addition, if it were established that we were a commodity pool, the
CFTC could pursue remedies against the party or parties it deems to be the commodity pool operator, and we could under
certain circumstances be required to indemnify those individuals or entities.

The termination by Third Point LLC of either our investment management agreements at the end of its term or any
successive term could materially adversely affect our investment results.

We depend upon Third Point LLC, our investment manager, to implement our investment strategy. The investment
management agreements, each of which terminates on December 22, 2016, are subject to automatic renewal for additional

successive three-year terms unless a party notifies the other parties at least six months prior to the end of a term that it wishes
to terminate either investment management agreement in question at the end of such term. If Third Point LLC chooses to
terminate either investment management agreement at the end of such term, there is no assurance that we could find a
suitable replacement.

Potential conflicts of interest with Third Point LLC may exist that could adversely affect us.

Neither Third Point LLC nor its principals, including Daniel S. Loeb, who is one of our shareholders, are obligated
to devote any specific amount of time to our affairs. Affiliates of Third Point LLC manage, and expect to continue to manage,
other client accounts, some of which have objectives similar to ours, including collective investment vehicles managed by
Third Point LLC’s affiliates and in which Third Point LLC or its affiliates may have an equity interest. Pursuant to our
investment management agreements with Third Point LLC, Third Point LLC has the exclusive right to manage our
investment portfolio and is required to follow our investment guidelines and act in a manner that is fair and equitable in
allocating investment opportunities to us, but the agreements do not otherwise impose any specific obligations or
requirements concerning allocation of time, effort or investment opportunities to us or any restriction on the nature or timing
of investments for our account and for Third Point LLC’s own account or other accounts that Third Point LLC or its affiliates
may manage. Third Point LLC’s interest and the interests of its affiliates, may at times conflict, possibly to Third Point
LLC’s detriment, which may potentially adversely affect our investment opportunities and returns.

Our investment portfolio may contain significant positions, which could result in large losses.

Our investment guidelines provide that as our investment manager, Third Point LLC may commit up to 15% of our
assets under management to any one investment. Our investment portfolio could be subject to significant losses if it holds a
relatively large position in a single issuer, industry, market or a particular type of investment that declines in value, and the
losses could increase even further if the investments cannot be liquidated without adverse market reaction or are otherwise
adversely affected by changes in market conditions or circumstances. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the net exposure of
our portfolio was 85% and 87%, respectively, and the largest ten long and short positions comprised an aggregate of 45% and
12% and 40% and 11%, respectively, of our investment portfolio. Since our investment portfolio may not be widely
diversified at times, it may be subject to more rapid changes in value than would be the case if the investment portfolio were
required to maintain a wide diversification among companies, securities and types of securities.

We are exposed to credit risk from the possibility that counterparties may default on their obligations.

To the extent that transactions in our investment portfolio are entered into directly and not through a broker or
clearinghouse, including, but not limited to, forward foreign currency transactions, swap transactions, and the purchase and
sale of bonds and other fixed income securities directly from the current holder thereof, we must rely on the creditworthiness
of the counterparty to the extent it is unable to immediately deliver the promised asset or cash flows in the case of cash
settled transactions, net of any collateral that has been posted by or to the counterparty. The bankruptcy or insolvency of
these counterparties could also result in a loss of any collateral posted against these transactions.

In addition, any prime broker or custodian through whom transactions are effected in our investment portfolio will
each have a lien over assets held in a margin account with such counterparty. Further, should a prime broker or custodian
become insolvent, those assets may become unavailable for redemption and potentially classified as belonging to the
defaulting party. The insolvency of any such prime broker or custodian could result in the loss of a substantial portion or all
of the assets held with such counterparty. Assets which are deposited with brokers as collateral against margin loss may
become available to the creditors of the brokers in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of the broker to the extent that it
is needed to satisfy obligations to the insolvent party. Any reduction in our assets as a result of a default by a prime broker
could negatively affect the net asset value of our investment portfolio.

If Third Point LLC’s risk management systems are ineffective, we may be exposed to material unanticipated losses.

Third Point LLC continually refines its risk management techniques, strategies and assessment methods. However,
its risk management techniques and strategies do not fully mitigate the risk exposure of its funds and managed accounts,
including our investment portfolio, in all economic or market environments, or against all types of risk, including risks that
they might fail to identify or anticipate. Some of Third Point LLC’s strategies for managing risk are based upon its use of
historical market behavior statistics. Any failures in Third Point LLC’s risk management techniques and strategies to
accurately quantify such risk exposure could limit the risk-adjusted returns of our investment portfolio. In addition, any risk
management failures could cause losses in the portfolios managed by Third Point LLC, including our managed accounts, to

be significantly greater than the historical measures predict. Third Point LLC’s approach to managing those risks could prove
insufficient, exposing us to material unanticipated losses in our investment portfolio.

In managing our investment portfolio, Third Point LLC may trade on margin and use other forms of financial leverage,
which could potentially adversely affect our revenues.

Our investment guidelines provide Third Point LLC with the ability to trade on margin and use other forms of
financial leverage. Fluctuations in the market value of our investment portfolio could have a disproportionately large effect in
relation to our capital. As of December 31, 2014, our investment account had $286.9 million of margin debt at its brokers
primarily related to borrowings to fund collateral arrangements. A common metric used to determine financial leverage for
accounts such as our investment portfolio is the “gross exposure” of our managed accounts. The “gross exposure” is shown
as a percentage of the Net Asset Value (“NAV”) of the account, and represents the market exposure in the account (long and
short) versus the NAV. In other words, if the NAV of an account is $100, and the account holds securities “long” with an
aggregate market exposure of $100 (100% long), and has sold short securities with an aggregate market exposure of $25
(25% short), then the gross exposure would be 125% (i.e., $125 of investments against $100 of NAV). As of December 31,
2014, the gross exposure of our investment portfolio was 143%. Any event which may adversely affect the value of positions
we hold could significantly and negatively affect the net asset value of our investment portfolio and thus our results of
operations.

In managing our investment portfolio, Third Point LLC engages in short sales that may subject us to unlimited loss
potential.

As our investment manager, Third Point LLC routinely enters into transactions for our account in which it sells a
security that we do not own, which we refer to as a short sale, in anticipation of a decline in the market value of the security.
Short sales for our account theoretically will involve unlimited loss potential since the market price of securities sold short
may continuously increase. If the market price of the subject security increases considerably, Third Point LLC might have to
cover short sales at suboptimal prices. As of December 31, 2014, short exposure in our investment portfolio was $527.9
million over 124 debt, equity and index positions, including $52.5 million over 16 positions in the equity portfolio.

Third Point LLC’s representatives’ service on boards and committees may place trading restrictions on our investments.

Third Point LLC may from time to time place its or its affiliates’ representatives on creditors’ committees or boards
of certain companies in which our portfolio is invested. While such representation may enable Third Point LLC to enhance
the sale value of our investments, it may also place trading restrictions on our investments.

As of the date hereof, representatives of Third Point LLC sat on the board of directors of both Enphase Energy , Inc.

and Sotheby’s, whose securities are publicly traded and included in our investment portfolio.

The ability to use ‘’soft dollars’’ may provide Third Point LLC with an incentive to select certain brokers that may take
into account benefits to be received by Third Point LLC.

Under certain circumstances and subject to compliance with the safe harbor provided by section 28(e) of the
Exchange Act, Third Point LLC is entitled to use so-called “soft dollars” generated by commissions paid in connection with
transactions for our investment portfolio to pay for certain categories of expenses relating to research and related services
provide by brokers. Soft dollars are a means of paying brokerage firms for their services through commission revenue, rather
than through direct payments. Third Point LLC’s right to use soft dollars may give Third Point LLC an incentive to select
brokers or dealers for our transactions, or to negotiate commission rates or other execution terms, in a manner that takes into
account the soft dollar benefits received by Third Point LLC rather than giving exclusive consideration to the interests of our
investment portfolio and, accordingly, may create a conflict.

Our investment management agreements have limited termination provisions.

Our investment management agreements with Third Point LLC have limited termination provisions which restrict
our ability to manage our investment portfolio outside of Third Point LLC. Because the investment management agreements
contain exclusivity and limited termination provisions, we are unable to use investment managers other than Third Point LLC
for so long as the agreement is in effect. The original investment management agreement was entered into on December 22,
2011 and has an initial term of five years, subject to automatic renewal for additional successive three-year terms unless a
party notifies the other parties at least six months prior to the end of a term that it wishes to terminate the investment
management agreement at the end of such term. The second investment management agreement was entered into in January

2015 and has an expiration date that coincides with the expiration date of the original investment management agreement, as
well as corresponding renewal provisions. We may also terminate either investment management agreement upon the death,
long-term disability or retirement of Daniel S. Loeb, or the occurrence of other circumstances in which Mr. Loeb is no longer
directing the investment program of Third Point LLC.

We may also withdraw as participants under either investment management agreement prior to the expiration of the

relevant investment management agreement’s term at any time only “for cause”, which is defined as:

•

a material violation of applicable law relating to Third Point LLC’s advisory business;

Third Point LLC’s fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or reckless disregard of its obligations under
the relevant investment management agreement;

a material breach by Third Point LLC of our investment guidelines that is not cured within a 15-day period;

a conviction or, a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to a felony or a crime affecting the asset management
business of Third Point LLC by certain senior officers of Third Point LLC;

any act of fraud, material misappropriation, material dishonesty, embezzlement, or similar conduct against
or involving us by senior officers of Third Point LLC; or

a formal administrative or other legal proceeding before the SEC, the CFTC, FINRA, or any other U.S. or
non-U.S. regulatory or self-regulatory organization against Third Point LLC or certain key personnel which
would likely have a material adverse effect on us.

In addition, we may withdraw as a participant under either investment management agreement prior to the expiration

of its term if our portfolio underperforms as measured against specified benchmarks.

We may not withdraw or terminate either investment management agreement on the basis of performance other than
as provided above. If we become dissatisfied with the results of the investment performance of Third Point LLC as our
investment manager but the contractually specified termination threshold has not been met, we will be unable to hire new
investment managers until the relevant investment management agreement expires by its terms or is terminated for cause.

Certain of our investments may have limited liquidity and lack valuation data, which could create a conflict of interest.

Our investment guidelines provide Third Point LLC, as our investment manager, with the flexibility to invest in
certain securities with limited liquidity or no public market. This lack of liquidity may adversely affect the ability of Third
Point LLC to execute trade orders at desired prices. To the extent that Third Point LLC invests our investable assets in
securities or instruments for which market quotations or other independent pricing sources are not readily available, under the
terms of the investment management agreements the valuation of such securities and instruments for purposes of
compensation to Third Point LLC will be determined by Third Point LLC, whose determination, subject to audit verification,
will be conclusive and binding in the absence of bad faith or manifest error. Because the investment management agreements
give Third Point LLC the power to determine the value of securities with no readily discernible market value, and because
the calculation of Third Point LLC’s fee is based on the value of the investment account, a conflict of interest may exist or
arise.

The U.S. and global economic downturns could harm the performance of our investment portfolio, our liquidity and
financial condition and our share price.

Volatility in the United States and other securities markets may adversely affect our investment portfolio. The ability
of Third Point LLC to manage our investment portfolio profitably is dependent upon conditions in the global financial
markets and economic and geopolitical conditions throughout the world that are outside of our control and difficult to predict.
Factors such as equity prices, equity market volatility, asset or market correlations, interest rates, counterparty risks,
availability of credit, inflation rates, economic uncertainty, changes in laws or regulation (including laws relating to the
financial markets generally or the taxation or regulation of the hedge fund industry), trade barriers, commodity prices, interest
rates, currency exchange rates and controls, and national and international political circumstances (including governmental
instability, wars, terrorist acts or security operations) can have a material impact on the value of our investment portfolio.

If Third Point LLC, as our investment manager, fails to react appropriately to difficult market, economic and

geopolitical conditions, our investment portfolio could incur material losses.

Third Point LLC’s use of hedging and derivative transactions in executing trades for our account may not be successful,
which could materially adversely affect our investment results.

In managing our investment portfolio, Third Point LLC may use various financial instruments both for investment
purposes and for risk management purposes in order to protect against possible changes in the market value of our investment
portfolio resulting from fluctuations in the securities markets and changes in interest rates, protect unrealized gains in the
value of our investment portfolio, facilitate the sale of any such investments, enhance or preserve returns, spreads or gains on
any investment in our investment portfolio, hedge the interest rate or currency exchange rate on certain liabilities or assets,
protect against any increase in the price of any securities Third Point LLC anticipates purchasing for our account at a later
date or for any other reason that Third Point LLC, as our investment manager, deems appropriate. The success of such
hedging strategy will be subject to Third Point LLC’s ability to correctly assess the degree of correlation between the
performance of the instruments used in the hedging strategy and the performance of the investments in the portfolio being
hedged. Since the characteristics of many securities change as markets change or time passes, the success of such hedging
strategy will also be subject to Third Point LLC’s ability to continually recalculate, readjust and execute hedges in an
efficient and timely manner. While Third Point LLC may enter into hedging transactions for our account to seek to reduce
risk, such transactions may result in a poorer overall performance for our investment portfolio than if it had not engaged in
any such hedging transactions. For a variety of reasons, in managing our investment portfolio Third Point LLC may not seek
to establish a perfect correlation between such hedging instruments and the portfolio holdings being hedged. Any such
imperfect correlation may prevent Third Point LLC from achieving the intended hedge or expose our investment portfolio to
risk of loss.

Our investment portfolio includes investments in mortgage-backed securities and other asset-backed securities, whose
investment characteristics differ from corporate debt securities.

Our investment portfolio may from time to time be invested in mortgage-backed securities and other asset-backed
securities, whose investment characteristics differ from corporate debt securities. As of December 31, 2014, the fair value of
asset-backed securities in our investment portfolio was $400.2 million. Among the major differences are that interest and
principal payments are made more frequently, usually monthly, and that principal may be prepaid at any time because the
underlying mortgage loans or other assets generally may be prepaid at any time. Mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed
securities may also be subject to call risk and extension risk. For example, because homeowners have the option to prepay
their mortgages, the duration of a security backed by home mortgages can either shorten or lengthen.

In general, if interest rates on new mortgage loans fall sufficiently below the interest rates on existing outstanding
mortgage loans, the rate of prepayment would be expected to increase. Conversely, if mortgage loan interest rates rise above
the interest rates on existing outstanding mortgage loans, the rate of prepayment would be expected to decrease. In either
case, a change in the prepayment rate can result in losses to investors. If our investment portfolio includes securities that are
subordinated to other interests in the same mortgage pool, we may only receive payments after the pool’s obligations to other
investors have been satisfied. In addition, our investment portfolio may, from time to time, be invested in structures
commonly known as “Re-REMICS,” in which case a trust is further split between a senior tranche and a junior tranche. Third
Point LLC usually buys the junior tranche for its funds and the accounts it manages in such circumstances. An unexpectedly
high rate of default on mortgages held by a mortgage pool may limit substantially the pool’s ability to make payments to
holders of such securities, reducing the value of those securities or rendering them worthless. The risk of such defaults is
generally higher in the case of mortgage pools that include “sub-prime” mortgages. Changes in laws and other regulatory
developments relating to mortgage loans may impact the investments of our portfolio in mortgage-backed securities in the
future.

Our investment portfolio may include investments in securities of issuers based outside the United States, including
emerging markets, which may be riskier than securities of U.S. issuers.

Under our investment guidelines, Third Point LLC may invest in securities of issuers organized or based outside the
United States that may involve heightened risks in comparison to the risks of investing in domestic securities, including
unfavorable changes in currency rates and exchange control regulations, reduced and less reliable information about issuers
and markets, less stringent accounting standards, illiquidity of securities and markets, higher brokerage commissions, transfer
taxes and custody fees, local economic or political instability and greater market risk in general. In particular, investing in
securities of issuers located in emerging market countries involves additional risks, such as exposure to economic structures
that are generally less diverse and mature than, and to political systems that can be expected to have less stability than, those

of developed countries. Other characteristics of emerging market countries that may affect investment in their markets
include certain national policies that may restrict investment by foreigners in issuers or industries deemed sensitive to
relevant national interests and the absence of developed legal structures governing private and foreign investments and
private property. The typically small size of the markets for securities of issuers located in emerging markets and the
possibility of a low or nonexistent volume of trading in those securities may also result in a lack of liquidity and in price
volatility of those securities. In addition, dividend and interest payments from and capital gains in respect of certain foreign
securities may be subject to foreign taxes that may or may not be reclaimable. Finally, many transactions in these markets are
executed as a “total return swap” or other derivative transaction with a financial institution counterparty, and as a result our
investment portfolio has counterparty credit risk with respect to such counterparty.

In addition, the Euro-zone remains a significant market concern given the recent Greek elections and related
volatility. Furthermore, the continued devaluation of the Euro could lead to significant decline in the value of our Euro-
denominated investment portfolio. As of December 31, 2014, our investment portfolio had $143.6 million of market exposure
denominated in Euros. As a result of our foreign currency hedging strategies, the portfolio had net short exposure in Euro
currency of $24.1 million at December 31, 2014.

Third Point LLC’s role as an engaged investor in special situation and distressed investments may subject us or Third
Point Re to increased risks including the incurrence of additional legal or other expenses.

As our investment manager, Third Point LLC may invest a portion of our investment portfolio in special situation
companies. This generally involves investments in securities of companies in event-driven special situations such as
acquisitions, tender offers, bankruptcies, recapitalizations, spinoffs, corporate and financial restructurings, litigation or other
liability impairments, turnarounds, management changes, consolidating industries and other catalyst-oriented situations.
Third Point LLC may also invest our portfolio in securities of issuers in weak financial condition, experiencing poor
operating results, having substantial financial needs or negative net worth or facing special competitive or product
obsolescence issues or that are involved in bankruptcy reorganization proceedings, liquidation or other corporate
restructuring. Investments of this type involve substantial financial business risks that can result in substantial or total losses.
Among the problems involved in assessing and making investments in troubled issuers is that fact that it frequently may be
difficult to obtain information as to the condition of such issuer. The market prices of the securities of such issuers are also
subject to abrupt and erratic market movements and above average price volatility and the spread between the bid and asked
prices of such securities may be greater than normally expected. It may take a number of years for the market prices of such
securities to reflect their intrinsic values, if at all. It is anticipated that some of such securities may not be widely traded, and
that a position in such securities may be substantial in relation to the market for such securities.

As a consequence of Third Point LLC’s role as an engaged investor in special situation and distressed investments,
our investment portfolio may be subject to increased risk of incurring additional legal, indemnification or other expenses,
even if we are not named in any action. In distressed or special situations litigation often follows when disgruntled
shareholders, creditors, and other parties seek to recover losses from poorly performing investments. The enhanced litigation
risk for distressed companies is further elevated by the potential that Third Point LLC may have controlling or influential
positions in the companies. Some of the claims that can be asserted against Third Point LLC as a distressed investor include:
aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty; equitable subordination of the investor’s claims; recharacterization of the
investor’s claims; and preference or fraudulent transfer claims. Third Point LLC’s use of short-selling for its funds and the
accounts it manages has subjected, and may continue to subject Third Point LLC and the short sellers to increased risk of
litigation. Lawsuits can be brought against short sellers of a company’s stock to discourage short selling. Among other
claims, these suits may allege libel, conspiracy, and market manipulation.

Third Point LLC’s diminution or loss of service or loss of key employees could materially adversely affect our investment
results.

We depend upon Third Point LLC, as our investment manager, to implement our investment strategy. All
investment decisions with respect to our investment portfolio are made by Third Point LLC, subject to our investment
guidelines, under the general supervision of Daniel S. Loeb. As a result, the success of our investment strategy depends
largely upon the abilities of Mr. Loeb. While we may terminate our investment management agreements with Third Point
LLC upon the death, long-term disability or retirement of Mr. Loeb, or the occurrence of other circumstances in which
Mr. Loeb is no longer directing the investment program of Third Point LLC, no assurance can be given that a suitable
replacement could be found.

The compensation arrangements of Third Point LLC, as our investment manager, may create an incentive to effect
transactions that are risky or speculative.

Our investment management agreements each provide for the following two forms of compensation to be paid to

Third Point LLC and TP GP:

•

Third Point LLC is entitled to a management fee of 2% annually (less the Founders payment paid to the
Lead Investors and Dowling, each defined below, as described in each investment management agreement),
charged monthly, based on net assets under management; and

TP GP is entitled to performance compensation based on the appreciation, including unrealized
appreciation, in the value of our investment portfolio equal to 20% of net profits, subject to a loss
carryforward provision.

While the performance compensation arrangement provides that losses will be carried forward as an offset against
net profits in subsequent periods, Third Point LLC generally will not otherwise be penalized for realized losses or decreases
in the value of our portfolio. These performance compensation arrangements may create an incentive for Third Point LLC as
our investment manager to engage in transactions that focus on the potential for short-term gains rather than long-term
growth or that are particularly risky or speculative.

Increased regulation or scrutiny of alternative investment advisers and certain trading methods such as short selling may
affect Third Point LLC’s ability to manage our investment portfolio or affect our business reputation.

The regulatory environment for investment managers is evolving, and changes in the regulation of managers may
adversely affect the ability of Third Point LLC to effect transactions in our investment portfolio that utilize leverage or to
pursue its trading strategies in managing our investment portfolio. In addition, the securities and futures markets are subject
to comprehensive statutes, regulations and margin requirements. The SEC, other regulators and self-regulatory organizations
and exchanges are authorized to take extraordinary actions in the event of market emergencies. The regulation of derivatives
transactions and funds that engage in such transactions is an evolving area of law and is subject to modification by
government and judicial action. Any future regulatory change could have a significant negative impact on our financial
condition and results of operations.

In addition, a number of states and municipal pension plans have adopted so-called “pay-to-play” laws, regulations
or policies which prohibit, restrict or require disclosure of payments to (and/or certain contacts with) state officials by
individuals and entities seeking to do business with state entities, including investments by public retirement funds. The SEC
also has adopted rules that, among other things, prohibit an investment adviser from providing advisory services for
compensation to a government client for a period of up to two years after the adviser or certain of its executives or employees
make a contribution to certain elected officials or candidates. If Third Point LLC, its employees or affiliates or any service
providers acting on their behalf, including, without limitation, a placement agent, fail to comply with such pay-to-play laws,
regulations or policies, such non-compliance could have an adverse effect on Third Point LLC and our investment portfolio.

As our investment manager, Third Point LLC routinely engages in short selling for our account in managing our
investments. Short sale transactions have been subject to increased regulatory scrutiny, including the imposition of
restrictions on short selling certain securities and reporting requirements. Third Point LLC’s ability to execute a short selling
strategy in managing our investment portfolio may be materially and adversely impacted by temporary or new permanent
rules, interpretations, prohibitions, and restrictions adopted in response to these adverse market events. Temporary
restrictions or prohibitions on short selling activity may be imposed by regulatory authorities with little or no advance notice
and may impact prior and future trading activities of our investment portfolio. Additionally, the SEC, its non-U.S.
counterparts, other governmental authorities or self-regulatory organizations may at any time promulgate permanent rules or
interpretations consistent with such temporary restrictions or that impose additional or different permanent or temporary
limitations or prohibitions. The SEC might impose different limitations or prohibitions on short selling from those imposed
by various non-U.S. regulatory authorities. These different regulations, rules or interpretations might have different effective
periods.

Regulatory authorities may, from time to time, impose restrictions that adversely affect our ability to borrow certain
securities in connection with short sale transactions. In addition, traditional lenders of securities may be less likely to lend
securities under certain market conditions. As a result, Third Point LLC may not be able to effectively pursue a short selling
strategy due to a limited supply of securities available for borrowing. We may also incur additional costs in connection with
short sale transactions effected in our investment portfolio, including in the event that Third Point LLC is required to enter

into a borrowing arrangement for our account in advance of any short sales. Moreover, the ability to continue to borrow a
security is not guaranteed and our account will be subject to strict delivery requirements. The inability to deliver securities
within the required time frame may subject us to mandatory close out by the executing broker-dealer. A mandatory close out
may subject us to unintended costs and losses. Certain action or inaction by third parties, such as executing broker-dealers or
clearing broker-dealers, may materially impact our ability to effect short sale transactions in our investment portfolio.

An increase in Third Point LLC’s assets under management may adversely affect the returns of our investment portfolio.

It is possible that if the amount of assets Third Point LLC manages for us, in its funds and for other accounts it
manages were to increase materially, it could be more difficult for Third Point LLC to invest profitably for those accounts
because of the difficulty of trading larger positions without adversely affecting prices and managing risks associated with
larger positions. In addition, there can be no assurance that there will be appropriate investment opportunities to
accommodate future increase in assets under management, which may force Third Point LLC to modify its investment
decisions for the accounts it manages because it cannot deploy all the assets in a manner it desires. Furthermore, due to the
overlap of strategies and investments across many of the portfolios managed by Third Point LLC, including its hedge funds,
the accounts may be adversely affected in the event of rapid or large liquidations of investment positions held by the accounts
due to a lack of liquidity resulting from large position sizes in the same investments held by the other accounts. While the
hedge funds managed by Third Point LLC are currently closed for new investment subject to limited exceptions, Third Point
LLC may revisit this decision based on market conditions and any increase in assets under management could adversely
affect the returns of our investment portfolio.

Risks Relating to Insurance and Other Regulations

Any suspension or revocation of our subsidiaries’ reinsurance licenses would materially impact our ability to do business
and implement our business strategy.

Our subsidiaries Third Point Re and Third Point Re USA are licensed as reinsurers only in Bermuda and we do not
plan to seek licenses in any other jurisdiction. The suspension or revocation of Third Point Re or Third Point Re USA’s
license to do business as a reinsurance company in Bermuda for any reason would mean that we would not be able to enter
into any new reinsurance contracts until the suspension ended or Third Point Re or Third Point Re USA became licensed in
another jurisdiction. Any such suspension or revocation of our license would negatively impact our reputation in the
reinsurance marketplace and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

If we become subject to insurance statutes and regulations in jurisdictions other than Bermuda or there is a change to
Bermuda law or regulations or application of Bermuda law or regulations, there could be a significant and negative impact on
our business.

Third Point Re and Third Point Re USA, our wholly owned operating subsidiaries, are registered Bermuda Class 4
insurers. As such, they are subject to regulation and supervision in Bermuda. Bermuda insurance statutes, regulations and
policies of the BMA require each of Third Point Re and Third Point Re USA, among other things, to:

•

maintain a minimum level of capital, surplus and liquidity;

satisfy solvency standards;

restrict dividends and distributions;

obtain prior approval of ownership and transfer of shares;

maintain a principal office and appoint and maintain a principal representative in Bermuda; and

provide for the performance of certain periodic examinations of Third Point Re and Third Point Re USA
and their financial condition.

These statutes and regulations may, in effect, restrict our ability to write reinsurance policies, to distribute funds and

to pursue our investment strategy.

The process of obtaining licenses is very time consuming and costly, and we may not be able to become licensed in
a jurisdiction other than Bermuda even in the event we choose to do so. The modification of the conduct of our business
resulting from our becoming licensed in certain jurisdictions could significantly and negatively affect our business. In
addition, our inability to comply with insurance statutes and regulations of any particular jurisdiction could significantly and
adversely affect our business by limiting our ability to conduct business in that jurisdiction and by subjecting us to penalties
and fines.

In addition, the BMA could revoke or suspend Third Point Re or Third Point Re USA’s license in certain
circumstances, including circumstances in which (i) it is shown that false, misleading or inaccurate information has been
supplied to the BMA by Third Point Re or Third Point Re USA or on their behalf for the purposes of any provision of the
Insurance Act; (ii) Third Point Re and Third Point Re USA has ceased to carry on business; (iii) Third Point Re or Third
Point Re USA has persistently failed to pay fees due under the Insurance Act; (iv) Third Point Re or Third Point Re USA has
been shown to have not complied with a condition attached to its registration or with a requirement made of them under the
Insurance Act; (v) we are convicted of an offence against a provision of the Insurance Act; (vi) Third Point Re or Third Point
Re USA is, in the opinion of the BMA, found not to have been carrying on business in accordance with sound insurance
principles; or (vii) if any of the minimum criteria for registration under the Insurance Act is not or will not have been
fulfilled. If the BMA were to suspend or revoke Third Point Re or Third Point Re USA’s licenses we could lose our
exception under the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the “Investment Company Act”. See “We are
subject to the risk of becoming an investment company under U.S. federal securities law.”

We are subject to the risk of becoming an investment company under U.S. federal securities law.

The Investment Company Act, regulates certain companies that invest in or trade securities. We rely on an exception
under the Investment Company Act that is available to a company organized and regulated as a foreign insurance company
which is engaged primarily and predominantly in the reinsurance of risks on insurance agreements. The law in this area has
not been well developed and there is a lack of guidance as to the meaning of “primarily and predominantly” under the
relevant exception under the Investment Company Act. For example, there is no standard for the amount of premiums that
need be written relative to the level of a company’s capital in order to qualify for the exception. If this exception were
deemed inapplicable to us, we would have to seek to register under the Investment Company Act as an investment company,
which, under the Investment Company Act, would require an order from the SEC. Our inability to obtain such an order could
have a significant adverse impact on our business.

Assuming that we were permitted to register as an investment company, registered investment companies are subject
to extensive, restrictive and potentially adverse regulation relating to, among other things, operating methods, management,
capital structure, our ability to raise additional debt and equity securities or issue stock options or warrants (which could
impact our ability to compensate key employees), financial leverage, dividends, board of director composition and
transactions with affiliates. Accordingly, if we were required to register as an investment company we would not be able to
operate our business as it is currently conducted, nor would we be permitted to have many of the relationships that we have
with our affiliated companies. Accordingly, we likely would not be permitted to engage Third Point LLC as our investment
manager, unless we obtained the board and shareholder approvals required under the Investment Company Act. If Third
Point LLC were not our investment manager, we would potentially be required to liquidate our investment portfolio and we
would seek to identify and retain another investment manager with a similar investment philosophy. If we could not identify
or retain such an advisor, we would be required to make substantial modifications to our investment strategy. Any such
changes to our investment strategy could significantly and negatively impact our investment results, financial condition and
our ability to implement our business strategy.

If at any time it were established that we had been operating as an investment company in violation of the
Investment Company Act, there would be a risk, among other material adverse consequences, that we could become subject
to monetary penalties or injunctive relief, or both, that we could be unable to enforce contracts with third parties or that third
parties could seek to obtain rescission of transactions undertaken during the period in which it was established that we were
an unregistered investment company. If, subsequently, we were not permitted or were unable to register as an investment
company, it is likely that we would be forced to cease operations.

To the extent that the laws and regulations change in the future so that contracts we write are deemed not to be
reinsurance contracts, we will be at greater risk of not qualifying for the Investment Company Act exception. Additionally, it
is possible that our classification as an investment company would result in the suspension or revocation of our reinsurance
license.

Insurance regulators in the United States or elsewhere may review our activities and claim that we are subject to
additional licensing requirements.

We do not presently expect that we will be admitted to do business in any jurisdiction other than Bermuda. In
general, Bermuda insurance statutes, regulations and the policies of the BMA are less restrictive than United States state
insurance statutes and regulations. We conduct business in the United States through our indirect subsidiary, TPUSA. We do
not believe that our U.S.-based operations subject us to licensing requirements in any state in which we operate. However, we
cannot assure you that insurance regulators in the United States or elsewhere will not review our activities and claim that we
are subject to such jurisdiction’s licensing requirements. In addition, we will be subject to indirect regulatory requirements
imposed by jurisdictions that may limit our ability to provide reinsurance. For example, our ability to write reinsurance may
be subject, in certain cases, to arrangements satisfactory to applicable regulatory bodies and proposed legislation and
regulations may have the effect of imposing additional requirements upon, or restricting the market for, non-U.S. reinsurers
such as us.

If in the future we were to become subject to regulation under the laws of any state in the United States or the laws
of the United States or of any other country, we may consider various alternatives to our operations. If we attempt to become
licensed in another jurisdiction, for instance, we may not be able to do so and the modification of the conduct of our business
or the non-compliance with insurance statutes and regulations could significantly and negatively affect our business.

Our reinsurance subsidiaries are subject to minimum capital and surplus requirements, and our failure to meet these
requirements could subject us to regulatory action.

In 2008, the BMA introduced risk-based capital standards for insurance companies as a tool to assist the BMA both
in measuring risk and in determining appropriate levels of capitalization. The amended Bermuda insurance statutes and
regulations pursuant to the risk-based supervisory approach required additional filings by insurers to be made to the BMA.
The required statutory capital and surplus of our Bermuda-based operating subsidiaries increased under the Bermuda
Solvency Capital Requirement model. While Third Point Re and Third Point Re USA, as they currently operate, currently
have excess capital and surplus under these new requirements, there can be no assurance that such requirement or similar
regulations, in their current form or as may be amended in the future, will not have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition or results of operations. Any failure to meet applicable requirements or minimum statutory capital
requirements could subject us to further examination or corrective action by regulators, including restrictions on dividend
payments, limitations on our writing of additional business or engaging in finance activities, supervision or liquidation.
Further, any changes in existing risk based capital requirements or minimum statutory capital requirements may require us to
increase our statutory capital levels, which we might be unable to do.

Changes in law or regulations could cause a significant and negative impact on our reinsurance business.

From time to time, various regulatory and legislative changes have been proposed in the insurance and reinsurance
industry. The extreme turmoil in the financial markets has increased the likelihood of changes in the way the financial
services industry is regulated. Governmental authorities worldwide have become increasingly interested in potential risks
posed by the insurance industry as a whole, and to commercial and financial systems in general. While we cannot predict the
exact nature, timing or scope of possible governmental initiatives, there may be increased regulatory intervention in our
industry in the future.

Our exposure to potential regulatory initiatives could be heightened by the fact that we are domiciled in, and operate
exclusively from, Bermuda. Bermuda is a small jurisdiction and may be disadvantaged when participating in global or cross-
border regulatory matters as compared with larger jurisdictions such as the United States or the larger European Union
countries.

Because we are a Bermuda company, we are subject to changes in Bermuda law and regulation that may have an
adverse impact on our operations, including through the imposition of tax liability or increased regulatory supervision. In
addition, we will be exposed to any changes in the political environment in Bermuda.

The Bermuda insurance and reinsurance regulatory framework recently has become subject to increased scrutiny in
many jurisdictions. As a result, the BMA has recently implemented and imposed additional requirements on the companies it
regulates, such as Third Point Re and Third Point Re USA, as part of its efforts to achieve equivalence under Solvency II, the
EU regulatory regime enacted in November 2009 and that imposes new solvency and governance requirements across all EU
Member States. Although Solvency II was originally supposed to have become effective by November 1, 2012, a proposed
Omnibus II directive was to set revised dates for transposition and implementation of Solvency II by the EU Member States.

However, there have been a series of delays in the European Parliament vote to approve the Omnibus II directive. Further
delay in the implementation of Solvency II is likely, but the extent and nature of the delay is uncertain. The detail of the
Solvency II project will be set out in “delegated acts” and binding technical standards which will be issued by the European
Commission and will be legally binding. No official drafts for any of these measures have been released. As a result of the
delay in implementation of Solvency II, it is unclear when the European Commission will take a final decision on whether or
not it will recognize the solvency regime in Bermuda to be equivalent to that laid down in Solvency II.

While we cannot predict the future impact on our operations of changes in the laws and regulation to which we are
or may become subject, any such changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
results of operations.

Bermuda insurance laws regarding the change of control of insurance companies may limit the acquisition of our shares.

Under Bermuda law, for so long as we have an insurance subsidiary registered under the Insurance Act, the BMA
may at any time, by written notice, object to a person holding 10% or more of our common shares if it appears to the BMA
that the person is not or is no longer fit and proper to be such a holder. In such a case, the BMA may require the shareholder
to reduce its holding of our common shares and direct, among other things, that such shareholder’s voting rights attaching to
the common shares shall not be exercisable. A person who does not comply with such a notice or direction from the BMA
will be guilty of an offence. This may discourage potential acquisition proposals and may delay, deter or prevent a change of
control of our company, including through transactions, and in particular unsolicited transactions, that some or all of our
shareholders might consider to be desirable.

Changes in accounting principles and financial reporting requirements could result in material changes to our reported
results and financial condition.

U.S. GAAP and related financial reporting requirements are complex, continually evolving and may be subject to
varied interpretation by the relevant authoritative bodies. Such varied interpretations could result from differing views related
to specific facts and circumstances. Changes in U.S. GAAP and financial reporting requirements, or in the interpretation of
U.S. GAAP or those requirements, could result in material changes to our reported results and financial condition. Moreover,
the SEC is currently evaluating IFRS to determine whether IFRS should be incorporated into the financial reporting system
for U.S. issuers. In addition, U.S. GAAP and IFRS standard setters continue to discuss possible changes to accounting for
insurance contracts. Certain of these standards could result in material changes to our reported results of operation. See Note
2 to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for a summary of pending changes in
accounting principles or financial reporting requirements that could affect our results and disclosures.

Risks Relating to Taxation

In addition to the risk factors discussed below, we advise you to read “Certain Tax Considerations” and to consult

your own tax advisor regarding the tax consequences to you of your investment in our shares.

We may be subject to United States federal income taxation.

We are incorporated under the laws of Bermuda and we believe that our activities, as currently conducted (including
through our U.S.-based subsidiary, TPRUSA) and as contemplated, will not cause us to be treated as engaging in a United
States trade or business and will not cause us to be subject to current United States federal income taxation on our net
income, except with respect to TPRUSA, which is treated as a domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
However, because there are no definitive standards provided by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended or the Code,
regulations or court decisions as to the specific activities that constitute being engaged in the conduct of a trade or business
within the United States, and as any such determination is essentially factual in nature and must be made annually, we cannot
assure you that the United States Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, will not successfully assert that we are engaged in a
trade or business in the United States or, if applicable under the income tax treaty between the U.S. and Bermuda (the
“Bermuda Treaty”), engaged in a trade or business in the United States through a permanent establishment, and thus are
subject to current United States federal income taxation. If we were deemed to be engaged in a trade or business in the United
States (and, if applicable under the Bermuda Treaty, were deemed to be so engaged through a permanent establishment),
Third Point Re generally would become subject to United States federal income tax on its income “effectively connected” (or
treated as effectively connected) with the U.S. trade or business, and would become subject to the “branch profits” tax on its
earnings and profits that are both effectively connected with the U.S. trade or business and deemed repatriated out of the
United States. Any such federal tax liability could materially adversely affect our results of operations.

United States persons who own our shares may be subject to United States federal income taxation on our undistributed
earnings and may recognize ordinary income upon disposition of shares.

PFIC. Significant potential adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences generally apply to any United States
person who owns shares in a PFIC. In general, either we and/or Third Point Re would be a PFIC for a taxable year if 75% or
more of its income constitutes “passive income” or 50% or more of its assets were held to produce “passive income.” Passive
income generally includes interest, dividends and other investment income but does not include income derived in the active
conduct of an insurance business by a corporation predominantly engaged in an insurance business. This exception for
insurance companies is intended to ensure that a bona fide insurance company’s income is not treated as passive income,
except to the extent such income is attributable to financial reserves in excess of the reasonable needs of the insurance
business. However, there is very little authority as to what constitutes the active conduct of an insurance business for
purposes of the PFIC rules. The IRS has notified taxpayers in IRS Notice 2003-34 that it intends to scrutinize the activities of
certain insurance companies located outside of the United States, including reinsurance companies that invest a significant
portion of their assets in alternative investment strategies, to determine whether such companies qualify for the active
insurance company exception in the PFIC rules.

We believe that our financial reserves are consistent with industry standards and are not in excess of the reasonable
needs of our insurance business, and that we are actively engaged in insurance activities that involve sufficient transfer of
risk. However, we cannot assure you the IRS will agree with our position and will not successfully assert that we do not
qualify for the insurance exception. Moreover, our expectation with respect to any taxable year is based on the amount of risk
that we expect to underwrite during that year. If we are unable to underwrite sufficient amount of risk for any taxable year,
we and/or Third Point Re might be treated as a PFIC. Furthermore, in certain circumstances, we may seek to manage the
volatility of our reinsurance results by writing policies that contain certain contractual terms and conditions (such as loss ratio
caps), which may cause the IRS to assert that such policies lack sufficient risk transfer to constitute insurance for United
States federal income tax purposes, increasing the risk that we and/or Third Point Re may be treated as a PFIC. Counsel to
the Company and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) have never provided an opinion regarding the Group’s PFIC status due to the
absence of applicable authority regarding the active insurance company exception and the dependence of the Group’s PFIC
status on the actual operational results and other relevant facts for each taxable year. Readers are urged to consult their own
tax advisors to assess their tolerance of this risk.

Recently proposed legislation (The Tax Reform Act of 2014) would modify the insurance exception to require that,
for any year (1) our premiums constitute more than 50% of our gross receipts and (2) the amount of our insurance related
liabilities (generally, unearned premium reserves and loss and loss adjustment expenses) constitute more than 35% of our
assets. If enacted in its current form, no assurance can be given that we would be able to operate in a manner to satisfy these
requirements in any given year. No assurance can be given as to whether such legislation will be adopted and if so, in what
form. In addition, the IRS has expressed intent to promulgate rules relating to the insurance exception, and there can be no
assurance as to the content of any such guidance or the manner in which it may apply to our business.

If a “United States person” holds our shares as “capital assets” within the meaning of section 1221 of the Code
during any taxable year in which we and/or Third Point Re are treated as PFICs, such shares will generally be treated as stock
in a PFIC for all subsequent years. Certain elections designed to mitigate the adverse consequences of owning shares in a
PFIC, including a “Protective QEF Election,” may be available. If you are a United States. person, we advise you to consult
your own tax advisor concerning the potential tax consequences to you under the PFIC rules, the advisability of making one
of these elections and to assess your tolerance of this risk.

CFC. United States persons who, directly or indirectly or through attribution rules, own 10% or more of the voting
power of our shares, which we refer to as United States 10% shareholders, may be subject to the CFC rules. Under the CFC
rules, each United States 10% shareholder must annually include its pro rata share of the CFC’s “subpart F income,” even if
no distributions are made. In general (subject to the special rules applicable to “related person insurance income” described
below), a foreign insurance company will be treated as a CFC only if United States 10% shareholders collectively own more
than 25% of the total combined voting power or total value of the company’s shares for an uninterrupted period of 30 days or
more during any year. We believe that the restrictions placed on the voting power of our shares should generally prevent
shareholders who acquire shares from being treated as United States 10% shareholders of a CFC. We cannot assure you,
however, that these rules will not apply to you. If you are a United States. person we strongly urge you to consult your own
tax advisor concerning the controlled foreign corporation rules.

Related Person Insurance Income. If (a) our gross income attributable to insurance or reinsurance policies pursuant
to which the direct or indirect insureds are our direct or indirect United States shareholders or persons related to such United
States shareholders equals or exceeds 20% of our gross insurance income in any taxable year; and (b) direct or indirect

insureds and persons related to such insureds own directly or indirectly 20% or more of the voting power or value of our
shares, a United States. person who owns any shares directly or indirectly on the last day of the taxable year would most
likely be required to include its allocable share of our related person insurance income for the taxable year in its income, even
if no distributions are made. We do not expect that it is likely that either or both of the 20% gross insurance income threshold
or the 20% direct or indirect ownership threshold will be met. However, we cannot assure you that this will be the case.
Consequently, we cannot assure you that a person who is a direct or indirect United States shareholder will not be required to
include amounts in its income in respect of related person insurance income in any taxable year.

Dispositions of Our Shares. If a United States shareholder is treated as disposing of shares in a CFC of which it is a
United States 10% shareholder, or of shares in a foreign insurance corporation that has related person insurance income and
in which United States persons collectively own 25% or more of the voting power or value of the company’s share capital,
any gain from the disposition will generally be treated as a dividend to the extent of the United States shareholder’s portion
of the corporation’s undistributed earnings and profits, as the case may be, that were accumulated during the period that the
U.S. shareholder owned the shares. In addition, the shareholder will be required to comply with certain reporting
requirements, regardless of the amount of shares owned by the direct or indirect United States shareholder. Although not free
from doubt, we believe it would be reasonable for a United States person to take the position that these rules should not apply
to dispositions of our shares because we should not have any United States 10% shareholders and will not be directly
engaged in the insurance business. We cannot assure you, however, that the IRS will interpret the proposed regulations
potentially applicable to such dispositions in this manner or that the proposed regulations will not be promulgated in final
form in a manner that would cause these rules to apply to dispositions of our shares.

United States tax-exempt organizations who own our shares may recognize unrelated business taxable income.

A United States tax-exempt organization may recognize unrelated business taxable income if a portion of our
subpart F insurance income is allocated to it. In general, subpart F insurance income will be allocated to a tax-exempt
organization owning (or treated as owning) our shares if we are a CFC as discussed above and it is a United States 10%
shareholder or we earn related person insurance income and the exceptions described above do not apply. We cannot assure
you that United States persons holding our shares (directly or indirectly) will not be allocated subpart F insurance income.
United States tax-exempt organizations should consult their own tax advisors regarding the risk of recognizing unrelated
business taxable income as a result of the ownership of our shares.

We may become subject to U.S. withholding and information reporting requirements under the Foreign Account Tax
Compliance Act (“FATCA”) provisions.

The Foreign Account Tax Compliance provisions of the Code (“FATCA”) generally impose a 30% withholding tax
regime with respect to (i) certain U.S. source income (including interest and dividends) and gross proceeds from any sale or
other disposition after December 31, 2016, of property that can produce U.S. source interest or dividends (“withholdable
payments”) and (ii) ”foreign passthru payments” made by foreign financial institutions (“FFIs”). As a general matter,
FATCA was designed to require U.S. persons’ direct and indirect ownership of certain non-U.S. accounts and non-U.S.
entities to be reported to the IRS. The FATCA withholding rules have become applicable as of July 1, 2014, with
withholding on foreign passthru payments made by FFIs taking effect no earlier than 2017.

On December 19, 2013, the Bermuda Government entered into a “Model 2” intergovernmental agreement (“IGA”)
with the United States to implement FATCA. If we, Third Point Re and/or Third Point Re USA are treated as FFIs for the
purposes of FATCA, under the Model 2 IGA, we, Third Point Re and/or Third Point Re USA will be directed to ‘register’
with the IRS by July 1, 2014 and required to comply with the requirements of FATCA, including due diligence, reporting and
withholding. Assuming registration and compliance with the terms of an agreement with the IRS (an “FFI Agreement”)
pursuant to a Model 2 IGA, an FFI would be treated as FATCA compliant and not subject to withholding. An FFI that
satisfies the eligibility, information reporting and other requirements of the IGA will not be subject to the regular FATCA
reporting and withholding obligations discussed below.

If the Company, Third Point Re and/or Third Point Re USA are treated as FFIs for purposes of FATCA,
withholdable payments and foreign passthru payments made to the Company, Third Point Re and/or Third Point Re USA will
be subject to a 30% withholding tax unless an FFI Agreement is in effect, pursuant to which the Company, Third Point Re
and/or Third Point Re USA would be required to provide information regarding its U.S. direct or indirect owners and to
comply with other reporting, verification, due diligence and other procedures established by the IRS, including a requirement
to seek waivers of non-U.S. laws that would prevent the reporting of such information. The IRS may terminate the FFI
Agreement if the IRS notifies the Company, Third Point Re and/or Third Point Re USA that it is out of compliance with the
FFI Agreement and the Company and/or Third Point Re does not remediate the compliance failure. Even if the Company,

Third Point Re and/or Third Point Re USA are subject to an FFI Agreement, distributions to an investor that are treated as
foreign passthru payments generally will be subject to a 30% withholding tax (a) if the investor fails to provide information
or take other actions required for the the Company, Third Point Re and/or Third Point Re USA to comply with the FFI
Agreement including, in the case of a non-U.S. investor, providing information regarding certain U.S. direct and indirect
owners of the investor (and, in certain circumstances, obtaining waivers of non-U.S. law to permit such reporting), or (b) if
the investor is an FFI, unless the investor (i) is subject to an FFI Agreement, (ii) establishes that an exemption applies or
(iii) is required to comply with FATCA under an applicable IGA.

Under the regulations implementing FATCA, a foreign insurance company (or foreign holding company of an
insurance company) that issues or is obligated to make payments with respect to an account is a foreign financial institution.
For this purpose, insurance contracts treated as having “cash value” and annuity contracts issued or maintained by a financial
institution are considered accounts, and certain term life insurance contracts are not considered accounts. Insurance
companies that issue only property and casualty insurance contracts, or that only issue life insurance contracts lacking cash
value (or that provide for limited cash value) generally would not be considered FFIs under the final regulations. However, a
holding company may be treated as an FFI if it is formed in connection with or availed of by a collective investment vehicle,
mutual fund, exchange traded fund, hedge fund, venture capital fund, leveraged buyout fund, or any similar investment
vehicle established with an investment strategy of investing, reinvesting, or trading in financial assets. Moreover, a company
may be treated as an FFI if its gross income is primarily attributable to investing, reinvesting, or trading in financial assets
and the entity is managed by an FFI, or the entity functions or holds itself out as an investment vehicle established with an
investment strategy of investing, reinvesting, or trading in financial assets. Even if the Company, Third Point Re and/or Third
Point Re USA are not treated as FFIs, then depending on whether the shares of the Company are treated as “regularly traded
on one or more more established securities markets” under the FATCA rules and whether the income and assets of Third
Point Re meet the requirements for the treatment of Third Point Re as an “active NFFE,” withholdable payments to the
Company, Third Point Re and/or Third Point Re USA may be subject to a 30% withholding tax unless the Company, Third
Point Re and/or Third Point Re USA provide information regarding its U.S. direct or indirect owners.

At this early stage, there can be no certainty as to whether the Company, Third Point Re and/or Third Point Re USA
will be subject to the requirements imposed on FFIs under FACTA. We will use reasonable efforts to avoid the imposition of
a withholding tax under FACTA, which may include the entering into of an FFI Agreement.

Potential additional application of the Federal Insurance Excise Tax.

The IRS, in Revenue Ruling 2008-15, has formally announced its position that the U.S. federal insurance excise tax
(the “FET”) is applicable (at a 1% rate on premiums) to all reinsurance cessions or retrocessions of risks by non-U.S. insurers
or reinsurers to non-U.S. reinsurers where the underlying risks are either (i) risks of a U.S. entity or individual located wholly
or partly within the U.S. or (ii) risks of a non-U.S. entity or individual engaged in a trade or business in the U.S. which are
located within the U.S. (“U.S. Situs Risks”), even if the FET has been paid on prior cessions of the same risks. The legal and
jurisdictional basis for, and the method of enforcement of, the IRS’s position is unclear. A recent judicial decision, which is
under appeal, has held that the FET is not applicable to retrocessions. We have not determined if the FET should be
applicable with respect to risks ceded to us by, or by us to, a non-U.S. insurance company. If the FET is applicable, it should
apply at a 1% rate on premium for all U.S. Situs Risks ceded to us by a non-U.S. insurance company, or by us to a non-U.S.
insurance company, even though the FET also applies at a 1% rate on premium ceded to us with respect to such risks.

Change in United States tax laws may be retroactive and could subject us and/or United States persons who own our
shares to United States income taxation on our undistributed earnings.

The tax laws and interpretations thereof regarding whether a company is engaged in a United States trade or
business, is a CFC, has related party insurance income or is a PFIC are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis.
There are currently no regulations regarding the application of the passive foreign investment company rules to an insurance
company and the regulations regarding related party insurance income are in proposed form. New regulations or
pronouncements interpreting or clarifying such rules may be forthcoming from the IRS. We are not able to predict if, when or
in what form such guidance will be provided and whether such guidance will have a retroactive effect.

We may become subject to taxes in Bermuda after March 31, 2035, which may have a material adverse effect on our
results of operations and your investment.

The Bermuda Minister of Finance, under the Exempted Undertakings Tax Protection Act 1966 of Bermuda, as
amended, has given us an assurance that if any legislation is enacted in Bermuda that would impose tax computed on profits
or income, or computed on any capital asset, gain or appreciation, or any tax in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax,

then the imposition of any such tax will not be applicable to us or any of our operations, shares, debentures or other
obligations until March 31, 2035, except insofar as such tax applies to persons ordinarily resident in Bermuda or to any taxes
payable by us in respect of real property owned or leased by us in Bermuda. Given the limited duration of the Bermuda
Minister of Finance’s assurance, we cannot assure you that we will not be subject to any Bermuda tax after March 31, 2035.

Risks Relating to Our Common Shares

Future sales of shares by existing shareholders could cause our share price to decline, even if our business is performing
well.

Sales of substantial amounts of our common shares in the public market could occur at any time. These sales, or the

perception that these sales could occur, could cause the market price of our common shares to decline.

A significant number of our common shares are currently restricted as a result of applicable securities laws, but are
eligible for sale subject to the applicable volume, manner of sale, holding period and other limitations of Rule 144. As of
December 31, 2014, we also had reserved for issuance common shares underlying certain warrants to purchase, in the
aggregate, up to 4,651,163 common shares. In addition, certain of our significant shareholders may distribute shares that they
hold to their investors who themselves may then sell into the public market. Such sales may not be subject to the volume,
manner of sale, holding period and other limitations of Rule 144. As resale restrictions end, the market price of our common
shares could decline if the holders of those shares sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them.

Certain existing holders of our common shares also have registration rights, subject to some conditions, to require us
to file registration statements covering the sale of their shares or to include their shares in registration statements that we may
file for ourselves or other shareholders in the future. In the event that we register the common shares for the holders of
registration rights, they can be freely sold in the public market upon issuance, subject to certain limitations applicable to
affiliates.

As of December 31, 2014, a total of 22,252,206 common shares were reserved for issuance under our current share
incentive plans and in connection with restricted share award agreements entered into between us and certain of our
employees and directors. As of December 31, 2014, there were share options outstanding which are exercisable (subject to
vesting) for 10,990,841 common shares. We have registered on a Form S-8 registration statement these shares and all
common shares that we may in future issue under our equity compensation plans. As a result, these shares can be freely sold
in the public market upon issuance, subject to certain limitations applicable to affiliates.

In the future, we may issue additional common shares or other equity or debt securities convertible into common
shares in connection with a financing, acquisition, litigation settlement or employee arrangement or otherwise. Any of these
issuances could result in substantial dilution to our existing shareholders and could cause the trading price of our common
shares to decline.

If securities analysts or industry analysts downgrade our ordinary shares, publish negative research or reports or fail to
publish reports about our business, our share price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our common shares is influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities
analysts publish about us, our business and our market. If one or more analysts adversely changes their recommendation
regarding our stock or our competitors’ stock, our share price would likely decline. If one or more analysts cease coverage of
us or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets which in turn could cause our
share price or trading volume to decline.

If the ownership of our common shares continues to be highly concentrated, it could prevent you and other shareholders
from influencing significant corporate decisions.

Third Point Reinsurance Ltd. was incorporated on October 6, 2011. On December 22, 2011, KIA TP Holdings, L.P.
and KEP TP Holdings, L.P., which are affiliates of Kelso & Company (collectively, “Kelso”) and Pine Brook LVR, L.P., an
affiliate of Pine Brook Road Partners, LLC (collectively, “Pine Brook”, and Pine Brook and together with Kelso, the “Lead
Investors” and each individually, a “Lead Investor”), Dowling Capital Partners I, L.P., an affiliate of Dowling Capital
Management, LLC (collectively, “Dowling”), P RE Opportunities Ltd. (“PROL”), Third Point LLC, Daniel S. Loeb and
affiliates associated with Mr. Loeb (collectively, the “Loeb Entities”) and our Chief Executive Officer John R. Berger
(collectively, the “Founders”), together with certain members of management, committed $533.0 million to capitalize Third
Point Reinsurance Ltd. As of December 31, 2014, Kelso, Pine Brook, the Loeb Entities, the Company’s directors and named

executive officers, as defined in the proxy statement, and PROL, own approximately 24.9%, 12.4%, 7.9%, 6.4 %, and 5.0%
of our issued and outstanding common shares, respectively, on an as converted basis after giving effect to the issuance of
vested warrants and options representing the right to purchase 9,758,289 common shares. As a result, the Founders, directors
and named executive officers could exercise significant influence over all matters requiring shareholder approval for the
foreseeable future, including approval of significant corporate transactions, which may reduce the market price of our
common shares.

The interests of our existing shareholders may conflict with the interests of our other shareholders. Our board of
directors has adopted corporate governance guidelines that, among other things, addressed potential conflicts between a
director’s interests and our interests. In addition, we have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that, among other
things, required our employees to avoid actions or relationships that might conflict or appear to conflict with their job
responsibilities or our interests and to disclose their outside activities, financial interests or relationships that may present a
possible conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict to our general counsel. These corporate governance guidelines and
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics will not, by themselves, prohibit transactions with our Founders.

Fulfilling our obligations incident to being a public company, including with respect to the requirements of and related
rules under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, is expensive and time-consuming, and any delays or difficulties in satisfying
these obligations could have a material adverse effect on our future results of operations and our share price.

We are required to file annual, quarterly and other reports with the SEC. We need to prepare and timely file
financial statements that comply with SEC reporting requirements. We are also subject to other reporting and corporate
governance requirements, under the listing standards of the NYSE and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which impose
significant compliance costs and obligations upon us. Being a public company requires a significant commitment of
resources and management oversight which increases our operating costs, including as a result of our engagement of a third
party to assist us in developing our internal audit function. Such requirements also place significant additional demands on
our finance and accounting staff and on our financial accounting and information systems. Other expenses associated with
being a public company include auditing, accounting and legal fees and expenses, investor relations expenses, increased
directors’ fees and director and officer liability insurance costs, registrar and transfer agent fees and listing fees, as well as
other expenses. As a public company, we are required, among other things, to:

•

prepare and file periodic reports, and distribute other shareholder communications, in compliance with the
federal securities laws and NYSE rules;

maintain comprehensive compliance, investor relations and internal audit functions; and

evaluate and maintain our system of internal control over financial reporting, and report on management’s
assessment thereof, in compliance with rules and regulations of the SEC and the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board.

In particular, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires us to document and test the effectiveness of our internal
control over financial reporting in accordance with an established internal control framework, and to report on our
conclusions as to the effectiveness of our internal controls. Likewise, our independent registered public accounting firm is
required to provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to
Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. In addition, we are required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the “Exchange Act”), to maintain disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial
reporting. Any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation,
could harm our operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations. If we are unable to conclude that we
have effective internal control over financial reporting, investors could lose confidence in the reliability of our financial
statements. This could result in a decrease in the value of our common shares. Failure to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
of 2002 could potentially subject us to sanctions or investigations by the SEC, the NYSE, or other regulatory authorities.

The market price of our common shares may fluctuate significantly.

The market price of our common shares may fluctuate significantly. Among the factors that could affect our share

price are:

•

industry or general market conditions;

domestic and international economic factors unrelated to our performance;

changes in our clients’ needs;

•

new regulatory pronouncements and changes in regulatory guidelines;

lawsuits, enforcement actions and other claims by third parties or governmental authorities;

actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly operating results;

changes in securities analysts' estimates of our financial performance or lack of research and reports by
industry analysts;

action by institutional shareholders or other large shareholders (including the Founders), including future
sales;

speculation in the press or investment community;

investor perception of us and our industry;

changes in market valuations or earnings of similar companies;

announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts, acquisitions or strategic partnerships;

any future sales of our common shares or other securities; and

additions or departures of key personnel.

The stock markets have experienced extreme volatility in recent years that has been unrelated to the operating
performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common
shares. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company's securities, class action litigation has
often been instituted against such company. Any litigation of this type brought against us could result in substantial costs and
a diversion of management's attention and resources, which would harm our business, operating results and financial
condition.

We do not intend to pay dividends on our common shares and, consequently, your ability to achieve a return on your
investment will depend on appreciation in the price of our common shares.

We do not intend to declare and pay dividends on our share capital for the foreseeable future. We currently intend to
invest our future earnings, if any, to fund our growth. Therefore, you are not likely to receive any dividends on your common
shares for the foreseeable future and the success of an investment in our common shares will depend upon any future
appreciation in their value. There is no guarantee that our common shares will appreciate in value or even maintain the price
at which our shareholders have purchased their shares.

We may repurchase our common shares without our shareholders’ consent.

Under our bye-laws and subject to Bermuda law, we have the option, but not the obligation, to require a shareholder
to sell to us at fair market value the minimum number of common shares which is necessary to avoid or cure any adverse tax
consequences or materially adverse legal or regulatory treatment to us, our subsidiaries or our shareholders if our board of
directors reasonably determines, in good faith, that failure to exercise our option would result in such adverse consequences
or treatment.

Holders of our shares may have difficulty effecting service of process on us or enforcing judgments against us in the
United States.

We are incorporated pursuant to the laws of Bermuda and our business is based in Bermuda. In addition, certain of
our directors and officers reside outside the United States, and all or a substantial portion of our assets are located in
jurisdictions outside the United States. As such, we have been advised that there is doubt as to whether:

•

a holder of our shares would be able to enforce, in the courts of Bermuda, judgments of United States
courts against persons who reside in Bermuda based upon the civil liability provisions of the United States
federal securities laws;

a holder of our shares would be able to enforce, in the courts of Bermuda, judgments of United States
courts based upon the civil liability provisions of the United States federal securities laws;

•

a holder of our shares would be able to bring an original action in the Bermuda courts to enforce liabilities
against us or our directors and officers who reside outside the United States based solely upon United
States federal securities laws.

Further, we have been advised that there is no treaty in effect between the United States and Bermuda providing for
the enforcement of judgments of United States courts, and there are grounds upon which Bermuda courts may not enforce
judgments of United States courts. Because judgments of United States courts are not automatically enforceable in Bermuda,
it may be difficult for you to recover against us based upon such judgments.

U.S. persons who own our shares may have more difficulty in protecting their interests than U.S. persons who are
shareholders of a U.S. corporation.

The Companies Act, which applies to us, differs in certain material respects from laws generally applicable to U.S.
corporations and their shareholders. Set forth below is a summary of certain significant provisions of the Companies Act and
our bye-laws which differ in certain respects from provisions of Delaware corporate law. Because the following statements
are summaries, they do not discuss all aspects of Bermuda law that may be relevant to us and our shareholders.

Interested Directors: Bermuda law provides that we cannot void any transaction we enter into in which a director
has an interest, nor can such director be liable to us for any profit realized pursuant to such transaction, provided the nature of
the interest is disclosed at the first opportunity at a meeting of directors, or in writing, to the directors. Under Delaware law
such transaction would not be voidable if:

•

the material facts as to such interested director’s relationship or interests were disclosed or were known to
the board of directors and the board of directors had in good faith authorized the transaction by the
affirmative vote of a majority of the disinterested directors;

such material facts were disclosed or were known to the shareholders entitled to vote on such transaction
and the transaction were specifically approved in good faith by vote of the majority of shares entitled to
vote thereon; or

the transaction were fair as to the corporation as of the time it was authorized, approved or ratified. Under
Delaware law, the interested director could be held liable for a transaction in which the director derived an
improper personal benefit.

Business Combinations with Large Shareholders or Affiliates: As a Bermuda company, we may enter into business
combinations with our large shareholders or affiliates, including mergers, asset sales and other transactions in which a large
shareholder or affiliate receives, or could receive, a financial benefit that is greater than that received, or to be received, by
other shareholders, without obtaining prior approval from our board of directors or from our shareholders. If we were a
Delaware corporation, we would need prior approval from our board of directors or a super-majority of our shareholders to
enter into a business combination with an interested shareholder for a period of three years from the time the person became
an interested shareholder, unless we opted out of the relevant Delaware statute. Our bye-laws include a provision restricting
business combinations with interested shareholders consistent with the corresponding Delaware statute.

Shareholders’ Suits: The rights of shareholders under Bermuda law are not as extensive as the rights of shareholders
in many United States jurisdictions. Class actions and derivative actions are generally not available to shareholders under the
laws of Bermuda. However, the Bermuda courts ordinarily would be expected to follow English case law precedent, which
would permit a shareholder to commence an action in the name of the company to remedy a wrong done to the company
where an act is alleged to be beyond the corporate power of the company, is illegal or would result in the violation of our
memorandum of association or bye-laws. Furthermore, a court would consider acts that are alleged to constitute a fraud
against the minority shareholders or where an act requires the approval of a greater percentage of our shareholders than
actually approved it. The winning party in such an action generally would be able to recover a portion of attorneys’ fees
incurred in connection with such action. Our bye-laws provide that shareholders waive all claims or rights of action that they
might have, individually or in the right of the company, against any director or officer for any act or failure to act in the
performance of such director’s or officer’s duties, except with respect to any fraud or dishonesty of such director or officer.
Class actions and derivative actions generally are available to shareholders under Delaware law for, among other things,
breach of fiduciary duty, corporate waste and actions not taken in accordance with applicable law. In such actions, the court
has discretion to permit the winning party to recover attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with such action.

Indemnification of Directors: We have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors. The
indemnification agreements provide that we will indemnify our directors or officers or any person appointed to any
committee by the board of directors acting in their capacity as such in relation to any of our affairs for any loss arising or
liability attaching to them by virtue of any rule of law in respect of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust
of which such person may be guilty in relation to the company other than in respect of his own fraud or dishonesty. Under
Delaware law, a corporation may indemnify a director or officer of the corporation against expenses (including attorneys’
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in defense of an action, suit or
proceeding by reason of such position if such director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably
believed to be in or not be opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, such director or officer had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

Provisions in our bye-laws may reduce or increase the voting rights of our shares.

In general, and except as provided under our bye-laws and as described below, the common shareholders have one
vote for each common share held by them and are entitled to vote, on a non-cumulative basis, at all meetings of shareholders.
However, if, and so long as, the shares of a shareholder are treated as “controlled shares” (as determined pursuant to sections
957 and 958 of the Code of any United States person (that owns shares directly or indirectly through non-U.S. entities) and
such controlled shares constitute 9.5% or more of the votes conferred by our issued shares, the voting rights with respect to
the controlled shares owned by such United States person will be limited, in the aggregate, to a voting power of less than
9.5%, under a formula specified in our bye-laws. The formula is applied repeatedly until the voting power of all 9.5% U.S.
shareholders has been reduced to less than 9.5%. In addition, our board of directors may limit a shareholder’s voting rights
when it deems it appropriate to do so to (i) avoid the existence of any 9.5% U.S. shareholder; and (ii) avoid certain material
adverse tax, legal or regulatory consequences to us, any of our subsidiaries or any direct or indirect shareholder or its
affiliates. “Controlled shares” include, among other things, all shares that a United States person is deemed to own directly,
indirectly or constructively (within the meaning of section 958 of the Code). The amount of any reduction of votes that
occurs by operation of the above limitations will generally be reallocated proportionately among our other shareholders
whose shares were not “controlled shares” of the 9.5% U.S. shareholder so long as such reallocation does not cause any
person to become a 9.5% U.S. Shareholder.

Under these provisions, certain shareholders may have their voting rights limited, while other shareholders may have
voting rights in excess of one vote per share. Moreover, these provisions could have the effect of reducing the votes of certain
shareholders who would not otherwise be subject to the 9.5% limitation by virtue of their direct share ownership.

We are authorized under our bye-laws to request information from any shareholder for the purpose of determining
whether a shareholder’s voting rights are to be reallocated under the bye-laws. If any holder fails to respond to this request or
submits incomplete or inaccurate information, we may, in our sole discretion, eliminate the shareholder’s voting rights. Any
shareholder must give notice to us within ten days following the date it owns 9.5% of our common shares.

Our bye-laws contain provisions that could discourage takeovers and business combinations that our shareholders might
consider in their best interests.

Our bye-laws include certain provisions that could have the effect of delaying, deterring, preventing or rendering

more difficult a change in control of us that our shareholders might consider in their best interests.

For example, our bye-laws:

•

provide the right of shareholders to act by majority written consent for so long as the Lead Investors and
the Loeb Entities collectively hold at least 35% of our issued and outstanding common shares;

establish a classified board of directors;

require advance notice of shareholders’ proposals in connection with annual general meetings;

authorize our board to issue “blank cheque” preferred shares;

prohibit us from engaging in a business combination with a person who acquires at least 15% of our
common shares for a period of three years from the date such person acquired such common shares unless
board and shareholder approval is obtained prior to the acquisition;

•

require that directors only be removed from office for cause by majority shareholder vote once the Lead
Investors and the Loeb Entities cease to collectively hold at least 35% of our issued and outstanding shares;

provide that vacancies on the board, including newly-created directorships, may be filled only by a majority
vote of directors then in office;

allow each of Kelso and Pine Brook to appoint one director for so long as they hold not less than 25% of
the number of shares respectively held as of December 22, 2011;

require a supermajority vote of shareholders to effect certain amendments to our memorandum of
association and bye-laws; and

provide a consent right on the part of Kelso, Pine Brook and Daniel S. Loeb to any amendments to our bye-
laws or memorandum of association which would have a material adverse effect on their rights for so long
as they hold not less than 25% of the number of shares respectively held as of December 22, 2011.

Any such provision could prevent our shareholders from receiving the benefit from any premium to the market price
of our common shares offered by a bidder in a takeover context. Even in the absence of a takeover attempt, the existence of
any of these provisions could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our common shares if they were viewed as
discouraging takeover attempts in the future.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

None.

Item 2. Properties

We do not own any facilities or real estate. We lease office space for our headquarters at Chesney House in
Pembroke, Bermuda, and also lease office space in Short Hills, New Jersey for Third Point Re USA’s operations. We believe
for the foreseeable future this office space will be sufficient for us to conduct our operations and that we would be able to
renew or replace these leases upon expiration on terms reasonably acceptable to us.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

We are not currently involved in any litigation or arbitration. We anticipate that, similar to the rest of the reinsurance

industry, we will be subject to litigation and arbitration from time to time in the ordinary course of business.

If we are subject to disputes in the ordinary course of our business we anticipate engaging in discussions with the
parties to the applicable contract to seek to resolve the matter. If such discussions are unsuccessful, we anticipate invoking
the dispute resolution provisions of the relevant contract, which typically provide for the parties to submit to arbitration or
litigation, as applicable, to resolve the dispute.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

Not applicable.

Dividends

We do not currently expect to declare or pay dividends on our common shares for the foreseeable future. Instead, we
intend to retain earnings to finance the growth and development of our business and for working capital and general corporate
purposes. Any payment of dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon various factors
then existing, including earnings, financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, level of indebtedness,
contractual restrictions with respect to payment of dividends, restrictions imposed by applicable law, general business
conditions and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Liquidity and Capital Resources.” In addition, under the Companies Act, we
may not declare or pay a dividend if there are reasonable grounds for believing that we are, or would after the payment be,
unable to pay our liabilities as they become due or that the realized value of our assets would thereafter be less than our
liabilities.

(1) Prior to 2014, deposit liabilities and reinsurance contracts investment expense and changes in estimated fair value of embedded derivatives were
recorded in net investment income. As these amounts have become more prominent, the presentation has been modified and deposit liabilities and
reinsurance contracts investment expense and changes in the estimated fair value of embedded derivatives are now recorded in other expenses in the
consolidated statements of income (loss). As a result, investment expenses of $4.9 million and $0.4 million, that were previously reported in net
investment income for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, are now being reported in other expenses to conform to the current
year’s presentation.

(2) Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares and participating securities outstanding during the period. The
weighted average number of common shares excludes any dilutive effect of outstanding warrants, options and convertible securities such as unvested
restricted shares. Diluted earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of common shares and share equivalents including any dilutive
effects of warrants, options and other awards under stock plans using the treasury stock method. U.S. GAAP requires that unvested share awards that
contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid (referred to as ‘’participating securities”), be included in the
number of shares outstanding for both basic and diluted earnings per share calculations. We treat certain of our unvested restricted stock as
participating securities. In the event of a net loss, the participating securities are excluded from the calculation of both basic and diluted loss per share.

(3) Underwriting ratios are for the property and casualty reinsurance segment only. See additional information in Note 22 of the Notes to Consolidated

Financial Statements.

(4) Loss ratio is calculated by dividing loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred, net, by net premiums earned.
(5) Acquisition cost ratio is calculated by dividing acquisition costs, net by net premiums earned.
(6) General and administrative expense ratio is calculated by dividing general and administrative expenses related to underwriting activities by net

premiums earned.

(7) Combined ratio is calculated by dividing the sum of loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred, net, acquisition costs, net and general and

administrative expenses related to underwriting activities by net premiums earned.

(8) The net investment return on investments managed by Third Point LLC is the percentage change in value of a dollar invested over the reporting period

on our investment assets managed by Third Point LLC, net of non-controlling interest. The stated return is net of withholding taxes, which are
presented as a component of income tax expense in our consolidated statements of income. Net investment return is the key indicator by which we
measure the performance of Third Point LLC, our investment manager.

(1) Cash and cash equivalents consists of cash held in banks and other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturity dates of ninety days or

less.

(2) Using the deposit method of accounting, a deposit liability, rather than written premium, is initially recorded based upon the consideration received less
any explicitly identified premiums or fees. In subsequent periods, the deposit liability is adjusted by calculating the effective yield on the deposit to
reflect actual payments to date and future expected payments.

(7) Return on beginning shareholders’ equity as presented is a non-GAAP financial measure. Return on beginning shareholders’ equity is calculated by
dividing net income by the beginning of year shareholders’ equity attributable to shareholders. For purposes of determining December 31, 2011
shareholders’ equity attributable to shareholders, we add back the impact of subscriptions receivable to shareholders’ equity attributable to
shareholders. For the year ended December 31, 2013, we have also adjusted the beginning shareholders’ equity for the impact of the issuance of shares
in our IPO on a weighted average basis. These adjustments lower the stated returns on beginning shareholders’ equity. See the reconciliation under
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Return on Beginning Shareholders’ Equity.”

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis is intended to help the reader understand our business, financial condition,

Overview

We manage our business on the basis of two operating segments: Property and Casualty Reinsurance and
Catastrophe Risk Management. We also have a corporate function that includes our net investment income on capital and
certain general and administrative expenses related to corporate activities.

Property and Casualty Reinsurance

We provide reinsurance products to insurance and reinsurance companies, government entities, and other risk
bearing vehicles. Contracts can be written on an excess of loss basis or quota share basis, although the majority of contracts
written to date have been on a quota share basis. In addition, we write contracts on both a prospective basis and a retroactive
basis. Prospective reinsurance contracts cover losses incurred as a result of future insurable events. Retroactive reinsurance
contracts cover the potential for changes in estimates of loss and loss adjustment expense reserves related to loss events that
have occurred in the past. Retroactive reinsurance contracts can be an attractive type of contract for us as they can generate
an underwriting profit should the ultimate loss and loss adjustment expenses settle for less than the initial estimate of reserves
and the premiums received at the inception of the contract generate insurance float. The product lines that we currently
underwrite for this operating segment are: property, casualty and specialty. We assume a limited amount of catastrophe risk
within the property and casualty segment. We anticipate that our property catastrophe exposures will consistently remain
relatively low when compared to many other reinsurers with whom we compete.

In February 2015, we began reinsurance operations in the United States through Third Point Re USA, a Bermuda
company licensed as a Class 4 insurer and a wholly owned operating subsidiary of TPRUSA. For future periods, the results
of Third Point Re USA will be reflected in the results of the Property and Casualty Reinsurance segment. Third Point Re
USA has not conducted any operations to date and TPRUSA’s only operations to date relate to accessing financing on behalf
of Third Point Re USA. As a result, Third Point Re USA and TPRUSA have a limited operating history and are exposed to
volatility in their results of operations. Period to period comparisons of their results of operations may not be meaningful.
Third Point Re USA expects to provide reinsurance products that are substantially similar to the reinsurance products
currently provided by Third Point Re. Third Point Re USA’s U.S. presence is a strategic component of our overall growth
strategy. As a result of Third Point Re USA’s U.S. presence, we expect to strengthen our relationships with U.S. cedents and
brokers. We also expect to develop a firsthand understanding of cedent underwriting and claims capabilities that will benefit
our underwriting practices.

Insurance float is an important aspect of our property and casualty reinsurance operation. In an insurance or
reinsurance operation, float arises because premiums from reinsurance contracts and consideration received for deposit
accounted contracts are collected before losses are paid on reinsurance contracts and proceeds are returned on deposit
accounting contracts. In some instances, the interval between cash receipts and payments can extend over many years. During
this time interval, we invest the cash received and seek to generate investment returns. Although float can be calculated using
numbers determined under U.S. GAAP, float is a non-GAAP financial measure and, therefore, there is no comparable U.S.
GAAP measure.

We believe that our property and casualty reinsurance segment will contribute to our results by both generating
underwriting income as well as generating float. In addition, we expect that float will grow over time as our reinsurance
operations expand.

Catastrophe Risk Management

In contrast to many reinsurers with whom we compete, we have elected to limit our underwriting of property
catastrophe exposures. On June 15, 2012, Third Point Reinsurance Opportunities Fund Ltd. (the “Catastrophe Fund”), Third
Point Reinsurance Investment Management Ltd. (the “Catastrophe Fund Manager”), and Third Point Re Cat Ltd. (the
“Catastrophe Reinsurer”) were incorporated in Bermuda. We subsequently announced a strategic arrangement with Hiscox
Insurance Company (Bermuda) Limited (“Hiscox”) to launch a collateralized catastrophe reinsurance underwriting fund
management business through these entities. The Catastrophe Fund Manager, a Bermuda exempted company, is the
investment manager of the Catastrophe Fund. In December 2014, we announced that we would no longer accept investments
in the Catastrophe Fund, that no new business would be written in the Catastrophe Reinsurer and that we would be redeeming
all existing investments in the Catastrophe Fund. Despite the Catastrophe Fund’s solid investment returns from its inception,
we are winding it down due to challenging market conditions and competition with other collateralized reinsurance and
insurance-liked securities vehicles. Catastrophe reinsurance pricing and the fees available to manage catastrophe risk have
decreased significantly in the past two years. The Catastrophe Fund Manager will continue to manage the runoff of the
remaining exposure in the Catastrophe Fund.

As of December 31, 2014, the Catastrophe Fund had a net asset value of $119.7 million (December 31, 2013 -
$104.0 million), and our investment in the Catastrophe Fund was $59.5 million (December 31, 2013 - $54.8 million). There
are no additional guarantees by us and no recourse to us beyond this investment.

Investment Management

Our investment strategy is implemented by our investment manager, Third Point LLC, under a long-term investment
management contract. We directly own the investments that are held in a separate account and managed by Third Point LLC
on substantially the same basis as Third Point LLC’s main hedge funds.

Limited Operating History and Comparability of Results

We were incorporated on October 6, 2011 and completed our initial capitalization on December 22, 2011. We began
underwriting business on January 1, 2012. We completed an initial public offering of common shares on August 20, 2013
(the “IPO”). As a result, we have a limited operating history and are exposed to volatility in our results of operations. Period
to period comparisons of our results of operations may not be meaningful.

In addition, the amount of premiums written may vary from year to year and from period to period as a result of
several factors, including changes in market conditions and our view of the long-term profit potential of individual lines of
business.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We have included financial measures that are not calculated under standards or rules that comprise GAAP. Such
measures, including net investment income on float, book value per share, diluted book value per share and return on
beginning shareholders’ equity, are referred to as non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures may
be defined or calculated differently by other companies. We believe these measures allow for a more complete understanding
of the underlying business. These measures are used to monitor our results and should not be viewed as a substitute for those
determined in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of such measures to the most comparable GAAP figures are
referenced below.

Key Performance Indicators

We believe that by combining a disciplined and opportunistic approach to reinsurance underwriting with investment
results from the active management of our investment portfolio, we will be able to generate attractive returns for our
shareholders. The key financial measures that we believe are most meaningful in analyzing our performance are: net
underwriting income (loss) for our property and casualty reinsurance segment, combined ratio for our property and casualty
reinsurance segment, net investment income, net investment return on investments managed by Third Point LLC, book value
per share, diluted book value per share, growth in diluted book value per share and return on beginning shareholders’ equity.

Net Underwriting Income (Loss) for Property and Casualty Reinsurance Segment

One way that we evaluate the performance of our property and casualty reinsurance results is by measuring net
underwriting income or loss. We do not measure performance based on the amount of gross premiums written. Net
underwriting income or loss is calculated from net premiums earned, less net loss and loss adjustment expenses, acquisition
costs and general and administrative expenses related to the underwriting activities.

Combined Ratio for Property and Casualty Reinsurance Segment

Combined ratio is calculated by dividing the sum of loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred, net, acquisition
costs, net and general and administrative expenses related to underwriting activities by net premiums earned. The combined
ratio compares the amount of net premiums earned to the amount incurred in claims and underwriting related expenses. This
ratio is a key indicator of a reinsurance company’s profitability. A combined ratio greater than 100% means that loss and loss
adjustment expenses, acquisition costs and general and administrative expenses related to underwriting activities exceeded
net premiums earned. See additional information in Note 22 to our consolidated financial statements.

Net Investment Income

Net investment income is an important measure that affects overall profitability. Net investment income is affected
by the performance of Third Point LLC as our exclusive investment manager and the amount of investable cash, or float,
generated by our reinsurance operation. Pursuant to our investment management agreements, Third Point LLC is required to
manage our investment portfolio on substantially the same basis as its main hedge funds, subject to certain conditions set
forth in our investment guidelines. These conditions include limitations on investing in private securities, a limitation on
portfolio leverage, and a limitation on portfolio concentration in individual securities. Our investment management
agreements allow us to withdraw cash from our investment account with Third Point LLC at any time with three days’ notice
to pay claims and with five days’ notice to pay expenses.

We track excess cash flows generated by our property and casualty reinsurance operation, or float, in a separate
account that allows us to also track the net investment income generated on the float. We believe that net investment income
generated on float is an important consideration in evaluating the overall contribution of our property and casualty
reinsurance operation to our consolidated results. It is also explicitly considered as part of the evaluation of management’s
performance for purposes of incentive compensation. Net income on float as presented is a non-GAAP financial measure. See
the table below for a reconciliation of net investment income on float to net investment income.

Net investment income for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 was comprised of the following:

Net investment income on float .............................................................................
Net investment income on capital ..........................................................................
Net investment income on investments managed by Third Point LLC .................

Prior to 2014, deposit liabilities and reinsurance contracts investment expense and changes in the estimated fair
value of embedded derivatives were recorded in net investment income. As these amounts have become more prominent, the
presentation has been modified, and deposit liabilities and reinsurance contracts investment expense and changes in the
estimated fair value of embedded derivatives are now recorded in other expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of
income. As a result, investment expenses of $4.9 million and $0.4 million that were previously reported in net investment
income for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, are now reported in other expenses to conform to the
current period’s presentation.

Net Investment Return on Investments Managed by Third Point LLC

Net investment return represents the return on our investments managed by Third Point LLC, net of fees. The net
investment return on investments managed by Third Point LLC is the percentage change in value of a dollar invested over the
reporting period on our investment assets managed by Third Point LLC, net of non-controlling interest. The stated return is
net of withholding taxes, which are presented as a component of income tax expense in our consolidated statements of
income. Net investment return is the key indicator by which we measure the performance of Third Point LLC, our investment
manager.

Return on Beginning Shareholders’ Equity

Return on beginning shareholders’ equity as presented is a non-GAAP financial measure. Return on beginning of
year shareholders’ equity is calculated by dividing net income by the beginning shareholders’ equity attributable to
shareholders. For purposes of determining December 31, 2011 shareholders’ equity attributable to shareholders, we add back
the impact of subscriptions receivable to shareholders’ equity attributable to shareholders. For the year ended December 31,
2013, we have also adjusted the beginning shareholders’ equity for the impact of the issuance of shares in our IPO on a
weighted average basis. These adjustments lower the stated returns on beginning shareholders’ equity. We believe this metric
is used by investors to supplement measures of our profitability.

Return on beginning shareholders’ equity for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 was calculated as

Book Value Per Share and Diluted Book Value Per Share

Book value per share and diluted book value per share are non-GAAP financial measures. Book value per share is
calculated by dividing shareholders’ equity attributable to shareholders, adjusted for subscriptions receivable, by the number
of issued and outstanding shares at period end. Diluted book value per share is calculated by dividing shareholders’ equity
attributable to shareholders, adjusted for subscriptions receivable, and adjusted to include unvested restricted shares and the

exercise of all in-the-money options and warrants. For unvested restricted shares with a performance condition, we include
the unvested restricted shares that we consider vesting to be probable. Prior to TPRE’s initial public offering, the market
share price was assumed to be equal to the fully diluted book value per share. We believe that long-term growth in diluted
book value per share is the most important measure of our financial performance because it allows our management and
investors to track over time the value created by the retention of earnings. In addition, we believe this metric is used by
investors because it provides a basis for comparison with other companies in our industry that also report a similar measure.

For the year ended December 31, 2014, book value per share increased by $0.56 per share, or 4.2%, to $14.04 per
share from $13.48 per share as of December 31, 2013. For the year ended December 31, 2013, book value per share increased
by $2.41 per share, or 21.8%, to $13.48 per share from $11.07 per share as of December 31, 2012.

For the year ended December 31, 2014, diluted book value per share increased by $0.43 per share, or 3.3%, to
$13.55 per share from $13.12 per share as of December 31, 2013. For the year ended December 31, 2013, diluted book value
per share increased by $2.23 per share, or 20.5%, to $13.12 per share from $10.89 per share as of December 31, 2012.

The increase in basic and diluted book value per share for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to the year
ended December 31, 2013 was primarily due to net income during the year. The increase in basic and diluted book value per
share for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to the year ended December 31, 2012 was driven primarily by net
income partially offset by the offering costs incurred with our IPO.

The growth in diluted book value per share in both years was also impacted by warrants and share compensation
issued to our Founders, employees, directors and an advisor, including the additional warrants and options that became
exercisable as a result of meeting the performance condition after the IPO.

Revenues

We derive our revenues from two principal sources:

•

premiums from property and casualty reinsurance business assumed; and

income from investments.

Premiums from our property and casualty reinsurance business assumed are directly related to the number, type and
pricing of contracts we write. Premiums are earned over the contract period based on the exposure period of the underlying
contracts of the ceding company.

Income from our investments is primarily comprised of interest income, dividends, and net realized and unrealized

gains on investment securities included in our investment portfolio.

Expenses

Our expenses consist primarily of the following:

•

loss and loss adjustment expenses;

acquisition costs;

investment-related expenses; and

general and administrative expenses.

Loss and loss adjustment expenses are a function of the amount and type of reinsurance contracts we write and loss
experience of the underlying coverage. Loss and loss adjustment expenses are based on an actuarial analysis of the estimated
losses, including losses incurred during the period and changes in estimates from prior periods. Depending on the nature of
the contract, loss and loss adjustment expenses may be paid over a number of years.

Acquisition costs consist primarily of brokerage fees, ceding commissions, premium taxes and other direct expenses
that relate to our writing reinsurance contracts and are presented net of commissions ceded under reinsurance contracts. We
amortize deferred acquisition costs in the same proportion that the premiums are earned.

Investment-related expenses primarily consist of management fees we pay to our investment manager, Third Point
LLC, and certain of our Founders, pursuant to our investment management agreements and performance fees we pay to Third
Point Advisors LLC. A 2% management fee calculated on assets under management is paid monthly to Third Point LLC and
certain of our Founders, and a performance fee equal to 20% of the net investment income is paid annually to Third Point
Advisors LLC. We include these expenses in net investment income in our consolidated statement of income.

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits and related payroll costs, including costs
associated with our incentive compensation plan, share compensation expenses, legal and accounting fees, travel and client
entertainment, fees relating to our letter of credit facilities, information technology, occupancy and other general operating
expenses.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

See Note 2 to our notes to consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K

for a summary of our significant accounting and reporting policies.

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to
make estimates and assumptions. We believe that the accounting policies that require the most significant judgments and
estimations by management are (1) premium revenue recognition including evaluation of risk transfer, (2) loss and loss
adjustment expense reserves, and (3) fair value measurements related to our investments. If actual events differ significantly
from the underlying judgments or estimates used by management in the application of these accounting policies, there could
be a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Premium Revenue Recognition including evaluation of Risk Transfer

For each contract that we write, we estimate the ultimate premiums for the entire contract period and record this
estimate at the inception of the contract, to the extent the amount of written premium is estimable. For contracts where the
full written premium is not estimable at inception, we record written premium for the portion of the contract period for which
the amount is estimable. These estimates are based primarily on information in the underlying contracts as well as
information provided by our clients and/or brokers. See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for additional
information on premium revenue recognition.

Changes in premium estimates are expected and may result in adjustments in any reporting period. These estimates
change over time as additional information regarding the underlying business volume is obtained. Along with uncertainty
regarding the underlying business volume, our contracts also contain a number of contractual features that can significantly
impact the amount of premium that we ultimately recognize. These include commutation provisions, multi-year contracts
with cancellation provisions and provisions to return premium at the expiration of the contract in certain circumstances. In
certain contracts, these provisions can be exercised by the client, in some cases provisions can be exercised by us and in other
cases by mutual consent. In addition, we write a small number of large contracts and the majority of our property and
casualty reinsurance segment premiums written to date has been quota share business. As a result, we may be subject to
greater volatility around our premium estimates compared to other property and casualty companies. We continuously
monitor the premium estimate of each of our contracts considering the cash premiums received, reported premiums,
discussions with our clients regarding their premium projections as well as evaluating the potential impact of contractual
features. Any subsequent adjustments arising on such estimates are recorded in the period in which they are determined.

Changes in premium estimates may not result in a direct impact to net income or shareholders’ equity since changes
in premium estimates do not necessarily impact the amount of net premiums earned at the time of the premium estimate
change and would generally be offset by proportional changes in acquisition costs and net loss and loss adjustment expenses.

During the year ended December 31, 2014, we recorded $(12.1) million of changes in premium estimates on prior
years’ contracts, (2013 - $(35.7) million). There was insignificant impact on net income of these changes in premium
estimates for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. The 2014 changes in premium estimates were primarily due to
clients writing less business than initially expected. The 2013 changes in premium estimates were primarily due to return
premiums on contracts that expired in 2013 and that included a contractual provision to return the unearned premiums at
expiration. There were no changes in premium estimates for the year ended December 31, 2012 because we commenced our
underwriting activities in 2012.

Determining whether or not a reinsurance contract meets the condition for risk transfer requires judgment. The
determination of risk transfer is critical to reporting premiums written and is based, in part, on the use of actuarial and pricing
models and assumptions and evaluating contractual features that could impact the determination of whether a contract meets
risk transfer. If we determine that a reinsurance contract does not transfer sufficient risk, we use deposit accounting. See Note
11 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information on deposit contracts entered into to date.

Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Reserves

Our loss and loss adjustment expense reserves include case reserves and reserves for losses incurred but not yet
reported (“IBNR reserves”). Case reserves are established for losses that have been reported, but not yet paid, based on loss
reports from brokers and ceding companies. IBNR reserves represent the estimated loss and loss adjustment expenses that
have been incurred by insureds and reinsureds but not yet reported to the insurer or reinsurer, including unknown future
developments on loss and loss adjustment expenses that are known to us. IBNR reserves are established by management
based on actuarially determined estimates of ultimate loss and loss adjustment expenses.

Inherent in the estimate of ultimate loss and loss adjustment expenses are expected trends in claim severity and
frequency and other factors that may vary significantly as claims are settled. Accordingly, ultimate loss and loss adjustment
expenses may differ materially from the amounts recorded in the financial statements. These estimates are reviewed regularly
and, as experience develops and new information becomes known, the reserves are adjusted as necessary. Such adjustments,
if any, are recorded in the consolidated statement of income in the period in which they become known.

We perform an actuarial projection of our reserves quarterly and have a third-party actuarial review performed
annually. All reserves are estimated on an individual contract basis; there is no aggregation of contracts for projection of
ultimate loss or reserves.

We initially reserve every individual contract to the expected loss and loss expense ratio in the pricing analysis.

As loss information is received from the cedents, we incorporate other actuarial methods in our projection of
ultimate losses and, hence, reserves. In our pricing analysis, we typically use a significant amount of information unique to
the individual client and, when necessary, supplement the analysis with industry data. Industry data primarily takes the form
of paid and incurred development patterns from statutory financial statements and statistical agencies. For our actuarial
reserve projections, the relevant information we receive from our reinsurance clients include premium estimates, paid loss
and loss adjustment expenses and case reserves. We review the data for reasonableness and research any anomalies. On each

contract, we compare the expected paid and incurred amounts at each quarter-end with actual amounts reported. We also
compare premiums received with projected premium receipts at each quarter end.

There is a time lag between when a covered loss event occurs and when it is actually reported to our cedents. The
actuarial methods that we use to estimate losses have been designed to address this lag in loss reporting. There is also a time
lag between reinsurance clients paying claims, establishing case reserves and re-estimating their reserves, and notifying us of
the payments and/or new or revised case reserves. This reporting lag is typically 60 to 90 days after the end of a reporting
period, but can be longer in some cases. We use techniques that adjust for this type of lag. While it would be unusual to have
lags that extend beyond 90 days, our actuarial techniques are designed to adjust for such a circumstance.

The principal actuarial methods (and associated key assumptions) we use to perform our quarterly loss reserve

analysis may include one or more of the following methods:

A Priori Loss Ratio Method. To estimate ultimate losses under the a priori loss ratio method, we multiply earned
premiums by an expected loss ratio. The expected loss ratio is selected as part of the pricing and utilizes individual client
data, supplemented by industry data where necessary. This method is often useful when there is limited historical data due to
few losses being incurred.

Paid Loss Development Method. This method estimates ultimate losses by calculating past paid loss development
factors and applying them to exposure periods with further expected paid loss development. The paid loss development
method assumes that losses are paid at a rate consistent with the historical rate of payment. It provides an objective test of
reported loss projections because paid losses contain no reserve estimates. For some lines of business, claim payments are
made slowly and it may take many years for claims to be fully reported and settled.

Incurred Loss Development Method. This method estimates ultimate losses by using past incurred loss development
factors and applying them to exposure periods with further expected incurred loss development. Since incurred losses include
payments and case reserves, changes in both of these amounts are incorporated in this method. This approach provides a
larger volume of data to estimate ultimate losses than paid loss methods. Thus, incurred loss patterns may be less varied than
paid loss patterns, especially for coverages that have historically been paid out over a long period of time but for which
claims are incurred relatively early and case loss reserve estimates are established.

Bornhuetter-Ferguson Paid and Incurred Loss Methods. These methods are a weighted average of the a priori loss
ratio and the relevant development factor method. The weighting between the two methods depends on the maturity of the
business. This means that for the more recent years a greater weight is placed on the a priori loss ratio, while for the more
mature years a greater weight is placed on the development factor methods. These methods avoid some of the distortions that
could result from a large development factor being applied to a small base of paid or incurred losses to calculate ultimate
losses. This method will react slowly if actual paid or incurred loss experience develops differently than historical paid or
incurred loss experience because of major changes in rate levels, retentions or deductibles, the forms and conditions of
coverage, the types of risks covered or a variety of other factors.

IBNR to Outstanding Ratio Method. This method is used in selected cases typically for very mature years that still
have open claims. This method assumes that the estimated future loss development is indicated by the current level of case
reserves.

Key to the projection of ultimate loss is the amount of credibility or weight assigned to each actuarial method. Each
method has advantages and disadvantages, and those can change depending on numerous factors including the reliability of
the underlying data. For most actuaries, the selection and weighting of the projection methods is a highly subjective process.
In order to achieve a desirable amount of consistency from study to study and between contracts, we have implemented a
weighting scheme that incorporates numerous “rules” for the weighting of actuarial methods. These rules attempt to
effectively codify the judgmental process used for selecting weights for the various methods. There can be circumstances
where the rules would be modified for a specific reinsurance contract; examples would include a large market event or new
information on historical years that may cause us to increase our a priori loss ratio.

As part of our quarterly reserving process, loss-sensitive contingent expenses (e.g., profit commissions, sliding-scale
ceding commissions, etc.) are calculated on an individual contract basis. These expense calculations are based on the updated
ultimate loss estimates derived from our quarterly reserving process.

Our reserving methodologies use a loss reserving model that calculates a point estimate for our ultimate losses.
Although we believe that our assumptions and methodologies are reasonable, the ultimate payments may vary, potentially
materially, from the estimates that we have made.

Sensitivity Analysis

The table below shows the impact on our loss and loss adjustment expense reserves, net, acquisition costs, net
income and shareholders’ equity as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014 of reasonably likely changes to the actuarial
assumption used to estimate our December 31, 2014 loss and loss adjustments expenses incurred. Since many contracts that
we write have sliding scale commissions or other loss mitigating features that adjust with the loss and loss adjustment
expenses incurred, we consider this contractual feature to be important in understanding the sensitivity of our results to
changes in loss ratio assumptions.

The following table illustrates the aggregate impact of a ten percent increase and decrease applied to the ultimate
loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred, net for each in-force contract in the property and casualty reinsurance segment.
These increases and decreases are only applied to contracts which currently have material reserves outstanding (where
material is defined as more than 10% of ultimate loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred, net). Ultimate losses and loss
adjustment expenses incurred, net represents the sum we will be obligated to pay for fully developed claims (i.e., paid losses
plus outstanding reported losses and IBNR losses). The ultimate loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred, net includes all
related loss adjustment expenses less recoveries made from inuring reinsurance, salvage, and subrogation.

Our investments are managed by Third Point LLC and are carried at fair value. Our investment manager, Third
Point LLC, has a formal valuation policy that sets forth the pricing methodology for investments to be used in determining
the fair value of each security in our portfolio. The valuation policy is updated and approved at least on an annual basis by
Third Point LLC’s valuation committee (the “Committee”), which is comprised of officers and employees who are senior
business management personnel of Third Point LLC. The Committee meets on a monthly basis. The Committee’s role is to
review and verify the propriety and consistency of the valuation methodology to determine the fair value of investments. The
Committee also reviews any due diligence performed and approves any changes to current or potential external pricing
vendors.

Private securities are not registered for public sale and are carried at an estimated fair value at the end of the period,
as determined by Third Point LLC. Valuation techniques, used by Third Point LLC, may include market approach, last
transaction analysis, liquidation analysis and/or using discounted cash flow models where the significant inputs could include
but are not limited to additional rounds of equity financing, financial metrics such as revenue multiples or price-earnings
ratio, discount rates and other factors. In addition, we or Third Point LLC may employ third party valuation firms to conduct
separate valuations of such private securities. The third party valuation firms provide us or Third Point LLC with a written
report documenting their recommended valuation as of the determination date for the specified investments.

Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuation for private securities, the estimated fair value may differ materially from
the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for these investments. The actual value at which these

securities could actually be sold or settled with a willing buyer or seller may differ from our estimated fair values depending
on a number of factors including, but not limited to, current and future economic conditions, the quantity sold or settled, the
presence of an active market and the availability of a willing buyer or seller.

Our derivatives are recorded at fair value. Third Point LLC values exchange-traded derivative contracts at their last
sales price on the exchange where it is primarily traded. OTC derivatives, which include swap, option, swaption, forward,
future and contract for differences, are valued by industry recognized pricing vendors when available; otherwise, fair values
are obtained from broker quotes that are based on pricing models that consider the time value of money, volatility, and the
current market and contractual prices of the underlying financial instruments.

As an extension of our underwriting activities, the Catastrophe Reinsurer historically has sold derivative instruments
that provide reinsurance-like protection to third parties for specific loss events associated with certain lines of business. These
derivatives are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value, with changes in the fair value of these derivatives
recorded in net investment income in the consolidated statements of income. These contracts are valued on the basis of
models developed by us, which approximates fair value.

In the second quarter of 2014, the Catastrophe Reinsurer purchased a catastrophe bond. This catastrophe bond is
recorded in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value, with changes in the fair value recorded in net investment income in
the consolidated statements of income. This catastrophe bond is valued using the average of the bids from a minimum of two
broker-dealers or other market makers.

We also have derivatives embedded in non-derivative host contracts that are required to be separated from the host
contracts and accounted for at fair value with changes in fair value of the embedded derivative reported in net income. Our
embedded derivatives relate to interest crediting features in certain reinsurance and deposit contracts that vary based on the
returns on our investments managed by Third Point LLC. We determine the value of the embedded derivatives using models
developed internally, which approximates fair value.

Our holdings in asset-backed securities (“ABS”) are substantially invested in residential mortgage-backed securities
(“RMBS”). The balance of our holdings in ABS was in commercial mortgage-backed securities, collateralized debt
obligations and student loan asset-backed securities. These investments are valued using dealer quotes or recognised third-
party pricing vendors. All of these classes of ABS are sensitive to changes in interest rates and any resulting change in the
rate at which borrowers sell their properties, refinance, or otherwise pre-pay their loans. As an investor in these classes of
ABS, we may be exposed to the credit risk of underlying borrowers not being able to make timely payments on loans or the
likelihood of borrowers defaulting on their loans. In addition, we may be exposed to significant market and liquidity risks.

We value our investments in affiliated investment funds at fair value, which is an amount equal to the sum of the
capital account in the limited partnership generally determined from financial information provided by the investment
manager of the investment funds. The resulting net gains or net losses are reflected in the consolidated statements of income.

The fair values of investments are estimated using prices obtained from third-party pricing services, when available.
However, situations may arise where we believe that the fair value provided by the third-party pricing service does not
represent current market conditions. In those situations, Third Point LLC may use dealer quotes to value the investments. For
securities that we are unable to obtain fair values from a pricing service or broker, fair values are estimated using information
obtained from Third Point LLC.

We perform several processes to ascertain the reasonableness of the valuation of all of our investments comprising
our investment portfolio, including securities that are categorized as Level 2 and Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.
These processes include (i) obtaining and reviewing weekly and monthly investment portfolio reports from Third Point LLC,
(ii) obtaining and reviewing monthly NAV and investment return reports received directly from our third-party fund
administrator, which are compared to the reports noted in (i), and (iii) monthly update discussions with Third Point LLC
regarding the investment portfolio, including, their process for reviewing and validating pricing obtained from outside service
providers.

For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, there were no changes in the valuation techniques as it

relates to the above.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the closing rates of exchange as of
December 31, 2014. Transactions during the period are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of the
transaction. We do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on

investments, dividends and interest from the fluctuations arising from changes in fair values of securities and derivatives
held. Periodic payments received or paid on swap agreements are recorded as realized gain or loss on investment
transactions. Such fluctuations are included within net investment income in the consolidated statement of income.

U.S. GAAP disclosure requirements establish a framework for measuring fair value, including a three-level

hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In
such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the
fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety
requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the investment.

The key inputs for corporate, government and sovereign bond valuation are coupon frequency, coupon rate and
underlying bond spread. The key inputs for asset-backed securities are yield, probability of default, loss severity and
prepayment. Key inputs for OTC valuations vary based on the type of underlying security on which the contract was written.

See Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information on the framework for measuring fair

value established by U.S. GAAP disclosure requirements.

Business Outlook

The reinsurance markets in which we operate have historically been cyclical. During periods of excess underwriting
capacity, as defined by the availability of capital, competition can result in lower pricing and less favorable policy terms and
conditions for insurers and reinsurers. During periods of reduced underwriting capacity, pricing and policy terms and
conditions are generally more favorable for insurers and reinsurers. Historically, underwriting capacity has been impacted by
several factors, including industry losses, the impact of catastrophes, changes in legal and regulatory guidelines, new
entrants, investment results including interest rate levels and the credit ratings and financial strength of competitors.

While management believes pricing remains adequate for the types of business on which we focus, there is
significant underwriting capacity currently available. As a result, we believe market conditions will remain challenging in the
near term and may worsen. The segment with the greatest pricing pressure is property catastrophe reinsurance due to an
influx of capacity from collateralized reinsurance and other insurance-linked securities vehicles and the absence of significant
catastrophe events during 2013 and 2014. As a result of challenging market conditions and competition with other
collateralized reinsurance and insurance-linked securities vehicles, we announced that we would no longer accept
investments in the Catastrophe Fund, that no new business would be written in the Catastrophe Reinsurer and that we would
be redeeming all existing investments in the Catastrophe Fund. The Catastrophe Fund Manager will continue to manage the
runoff of the remaining exposure in the Catastrophe Fund.

In non-catastrophe lines of business, we focus on segments and clients where we believe we benefit from relatively
more attractive pricing opportunities due to the strength of our relationships, the tailored nature of our reinsurance solutions
or an acute need for reinsurance capital as result of a client’s growth or historically poor performance. Most of our senior
management team have spent decades within the reinsurance market and as they cultivate their relationships with
intermediaries and reinsurance buyers, we are seeing an increased flow of submissions in the lines and types of reinsurance
we target. Although we are typically presented by brokers with proposed structures on syndicated deals, we seek to customize
the proposed solution for the client while improving our risk and return profile and establishing our position as the lead
reinsurer in the transaction. We also look for non-syndicated opportunities where a highly customized solution is needed.
These solutions may take the form of aggregate stop loss covers, loss portfolio transfers or adverse development reserve
covers where clients seek capital relief and enhanced investment returns on their loss and unearned premium reserves. We
continue to see strong submission flow in this space.

In February 2015, we began reinsurance operations in the United States through Third Point Re USA, a Bermuda
company licensed as a Class 4 insurer and a wholly owned operating subsidiary of TPRUSA. Third Point Re USA has not
conducted any operations to date and TPRUSA’s only operations to date relate to accessing financing on behalf of Third
Point Re USA. As a result, Third Point Re USA and TPRUSA have a limited operating history and are exposed to volatility
in their results of operations. Period to period comparisons of their results of operations may not be meaningful. Third Point
Re USA expects to provide reinsurance products that are substantially similar to the reinsurance products currently provided
by Third Point Re. Third Point Re USA’s U.S. presence is a strategic component of our overall growth strategy. As a result of
Third Point Re USA’s U.S. presence, we expect to strengthen our relationships with U.S. cedents and brokers. We also
expect to develop a firsthand understanding of cedent underwriting and claims capabilities that will benefit our underwriting
practices.

Consolidated Results of Operations—Years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012:

2014 compared to 2013

For the year ended December 31, 2014, our net income decreased by $176.9 million, or 77.8%, to $50.4 million,

compared to net income of $227.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2013.

The change in net income for the the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to the year ended December 31,

2013 was primarily due to the following:

•

For the year ended December 31, 2014, we recorded net investment income of $85.6 million, compared to
$258.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The return on investments managed by Third Point
LLC was 5.1% for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to 17.7% for the year ended December 31,
2013. The decrease in net investment income from lower returns was partially offset by higher average
investments managed by Third Point LLC.

The net underwriting loss from our property and casualty reinsurance segment for the year ended
December 31, 2014 was $9.6 million, compared to a net underwriting loss of $15.8 million for the year
ended December 31, 2013. The combined ratio for the year ended December 31, 2014 was 102.2%
compared to 107.5% for the year ended December 31, 2013. The improvement in the net underwriting loss
is due to a higher in-force book of business for 2014 on a relatively consistent composite ratio. The lower
combined ratio is primarily due to a lower general and administrative expense ratio, which has continued to
decrease due to proportionately higher net premiums earned.

Our catastrophe risk management segment contributed net income of $4.6 million for the year ended
December 31, 2014 compared to net income of $3.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 due to
higher assets under management and fewer losses in 2014.

2013 compared to 2012

For the year ended December 31, 2013, our net income increased by $127.9 million, or 128.7%, to $227.3 million,

compared to net income of $99.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2012.

The increase in net income for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to the year ended December 31, 2012

was primarily due to the following:

•

For the year ended December 31, 2013, we recorded net investment income of $258.1 million, compared to
$136.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The return on investments managed by Third Point
LLC was 23.9% for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to 17.7% for the year ended
December 31, 2012.

The net underwriting loss from our property and casualty reinsurance segment for the year ended
December 31, 2013 was $15.8 million, compared to a net underwriting loss of $28.7 million for the year
ended December 31, 2012. The combined ratio for the year ended December 31, 2013 was 107.5%
compared to 129.7% for the year ended December 31, 2012. The underwriting results for the year ended
December 31, 2012 included a $10.0 million underwriting loss on one crop contract.

Our catastrophe risk management segment contributed net income of $3.4 million for the year ended
December 31, 2013 compared to a net loss of $1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The
Catastrophe Reinsurer wrote no business before January 1, 2013. The year ended December 31, 2012
included certain start-up related expenses related to formation of this segment.

Segment Results—Years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012

The determination of our reportable segments is based on the manner in which management monitors the
performance of our operations. For the periods presented, our business comprises two operating segments - Property and
Casualty Reinsurance and Catastrophe Risk Management. We have also identified a corporate function that includes net
investment income on capital and general and administrative expenses related to our corporate activities.

Effective January 1, 2014, we modified the presentation of our operating segments to allocate net investment income
from float to the property and casualty reinsurance segment. The property and casualty reinsurance operations generate
excess cash flows, or float, which the Company tracks in managing the business. The Company considers net investment
income on float in evaluating the overall contribution of the property and casualty reinsurance segment. Prior period segment
results have been adjusted to conform to this presentation.

Property and Casualty Reinsurance

Gross premiums written. Gross premiums written increased by $207.7 million, or 52.8%, to $601.3 million for the
year ended December 31, 2014 from $393.6 million for year ended December 31, 2013. Gross premiums written increased by
$203.2 million, or 106.7%, to $393.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $190.4 million for year ended
December 31, 2012.

We began underwriting on January 1, 2012 and continue to cultivate our underwriting relationships with
intermediaries and reinsurance buyers and, as a result, we believe submission flow remains strong. We write a small number
of large contracts so individual renewals or new business can have a significant impact on premiums recognized in a period.
Despite challenging market conditions, we have managed to grow rapidly due to the strength of our relationships. In addition,
our reinsurance contracts are subject to significant judgment in the amount of premiums that we expect to recognize. Changes
in premium estimates are recorded in the period they are determined and can be significant. We also offer customized
solutions to our clients, including adverse development covers, on which we will not have a regular renewal opportunity.
Furthermore, we record gross premiums written and earned for adverse development covers, which are considered retroactive
reinsurance contracts, at the inception of the contract. This premium recognition policy can further impact the comparability
of premiums earned in a period.

As a result of these factors, we may experience volatility in the amount of gross premiums written and earned and
period to period comparisons may not be meaningful. For future periods, the results of our Property and Casualty
Reinsurance segment will include the results of Third Point Re USA, which may further impact comparability of results.

The following table provides a breakdown of our property and casualty reinsurance segment’s gross premiums

The change in gross premiums written for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to the year ended

December 31, 2013 was driven by:

Factors resulting in increases:

•

We wrote $370.1 million of new business for the year ended December 31, 2014, consisting of $221.5
million of new specialty business, $105.7 million of new casualty business and $42.9 million of new
property business.

Changes in renewal premiums during the year ended December 31, 2014 resulted in increased premiums of
$34.5 million. Premiums can change on renewals of contracts for a number of factors including: changes in
our line size or participation, changes in the underlying premium volume of the client’s program, pricing
trends as well as other contractual terms and conditions.

One contract written in the year ended December 31, 2013 was canceled and re-written in 2014 with
increased participation and an extended coverage period, resulting in $16.5 million of additional premiums
recognized in 2014.

•

Other changes, such as amendments to existing contracts to increase coverage or to add other terms resulted
in additional premiums of $12.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to additional
premiums of $8.0 million for similar reasons for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Reductions in premium estimates relating to prior years’ contracts were $12.1 million and $35.7 million for
the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The changes in estimates for the year ended
December 31, 2014 were primarily due to clients writing less business than expected. For the year ended
December 31, 2013, the decrease in premium was primarily due to return premiums on contracts that
expired during the period, which included provisions within the contract to return the unearned premiums
at expiration. For contracts that renewed or were written in 2013 and 2014 with these provisions, we
considered the expected return premium in determining our initial premium estimates.

Factors resulting in decreases:

•

We recognized $140.9 million of premium in the year ended December 31, 2013 that did not renew in the
year ended December 31, 2014, primarily due to multi-year contracts written that were not subject to
renewal, or which we elected not to renew, in the comparable current year period.

We did not renew five reinsurance contracts accounting for $101.0 million of premiums for the year ended
December 31, 2013, primarily as a result of pricing and other changes in reinsurance contract structure,
terms and conditions.

The change in gross premiums written for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to the year ended

December 31, 2012 was driven by:

Factors resulting in increases:

•

We wrote $269.0 million of new business for the year ended December 31, 2013, consisting of $19.5
million of new property business, $143.4 million of new casualty business and $106.1 million of new
specialty business.

Changes in renewal premiums during the year ended December 31, 2013 resulted in increased premiums of
$21.7 million. Premiums can change on renewals of contracts for a number of factors including: changes in
our line size or participation, changes in the underlying premium volume of the client’s program, pricing
trends as well as other contractual terms and conditions. The increase was primarily due to one contract that
was written for one year in 2012 and renewed as a two year contract in 2013 with other generally offsetting
changes on other renewal business.

•

We amended two existing contracts to increase coverage resulting in $21.0 million of premium.

Factors resulting in decreases:

•

Reductions in premium estimates relating to prior years’ contracts were $35.7 million for the year ended
December 31, 2013 primarily due to return premiums on contracts, which expired during the period, which
included provisions within the contract to return the unearned premiums at expiration. For contracts that
renewed or were written in 2013 with these provisions, we considered the expected return premium in
determining our initial premium estimates.

We did not renew four reinsurance contracts accounting for $72.8 million of premiums for the year ended
December 31, 2012, with three of the contracts not renewing as a result of pricing and other changes in
reinsurance contract structure, terms and conditions. In addition, our crop contract, which accounted for
$42.5 million of premium for the year ended December 31, 2012, was written in 2013 with a new
counterparty and is included as $35.0 million of new business above.

Premiums ceded. Premiums ceded for the year ended December 31, 2014 were $0.2 million (2013 - $10.0 million
and 2012 - $nil). We purchased one retrocessional protection in 2014 to limit our catastrophe risk on one contract. The 2013
premiums ceded of $10.0 million related to the purchase of retrocessional protection related to our one assumed crop contract
that did not renew in 2014.

Net premiums earned. Net premiums earned for the year ended December 31, 2014 increased $219.7 million, or
103.3%, to $432.3 million. Net premiums earned for the year ended December 31, 2013 increased $116.1 million, or 120.3%,
to $212.6 million. The year ended December 31, 2014 reflects net premiums earned on a larger in-force underwriting
portfolio, including new business written and increased premiums from renewals, compared to the years ended December 31,
2013 and 2012. In addition, the year ended December 31, 2014, includes net premiums earned of $83.1 million (2013 - $39.8
million and 2012 - $nil) related to retroactive exposure in reinsurance contracts where we recorded the gross premiums
written and earned at the inception of the contract.

Net investment income. Net investment income allocated to the Property and Casualty Reinsurance segment consists
of net investment income on float and was $11.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $27.0 million
for the year ended December 31, 2013. The decrease in net investment income on float for the year ended December 31, 2014
compared to the year ended December 31, 2013 was due to lower investment returns on investments managed by Third Point
LLC partially offset by an increase in the total amount of the investments attributable to float managed by Third Point LLC.
See the net investment income discussion below under “Corporate function” for explanations of the investment returns on
investments managed by Third Point LLC and total net investment income for the periods presented.

Net loss and loss adjustment expenses. The reinsurance contracts we write have a wide range of initial loss ratio
estimates. As a result, our net loss and loss expense ratio can vary significantly from period to period depending on the mix
of business. For example, property quota share contracts have a lower initial loss ratio compared to other casualty and
specialty lines of business. In general, our contracts have similar expected composite ratios (combined ratio before general
and administrative expenses); therefore, contracts with higher initial loss ratio estimates have lower acquisition cost ratios
and contracts with lower initial loss ratios have higher acquisition cost ratios. Retroactive reinsurance contracts have a higher
initial loss ratio since the premiums are generally based on the net loss and loss adjustment reserves and do not include
acquisition related and other expenses. In addition, we record the gross premiums written and earned and the net losses as
incurred for retroactive reinsurance contracts at the inception of the contract, which can also impact the mix of premiums
earned in a particular period.

2014 compared to 2013

Net loss and loss adjustment expenses for the year ended December 31, 2014 were $283.2 million, or 65.5% of net

premiums earned, compared to $139.6 million, or 65.7% of net premiums earned, for the year ended December 31, 2013.

For the year ended December 31, 2014, we recorded $0.7 million of net favorable prior years’ reserve development
and $2.9 million of net favorable development resulting from decreases in premium estimates on certain contracts. For the
year ended December 31, 2013, we recorded net favorable prior year’s reserve development of $1.3 million and $3.4 million
of net favorable development resulting from decreases in premium estimates on certain contracts, primarily related to one
crop contract. The reserve and premium estimate changes generally offset resulting in no material impact to net underwriting
income or net loss ratio for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

2013 compared to 2012

Net loss and loss expenses for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $139.6 million, or 65.7% of net premiums

earned, compared to $80.3 million, or 83.2% of net premiums earned, for the year ended December 31, 2012.

The decrease in the loss ratio for the year ended December 31, 2013 was primarily due to the crop losses that were
recorded in the year ended December 31, 2012. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we increased our crop loss from
our initial loss estimate by $13.4 million. This crop reinsurance contract accounted for $10.0 million of net underwriting loss
for the year ended December 31, 2012.

As noted above, we recorded $1.3 million of net favorable prior years’ reserve development for the year ended
December 31, 2013. We commenced underwriting in 2012 and therefore did not have any prior years’ reserve development
for the 2012 year.

Acquisition costs. Acquisition costs include commissions, brokerage and excise taxes. Acquisition costs are
presented net of commissions ceded under reinsurance contracts. Acquisition costs for the year ended December 31, 2014
were $136.2 million (2013 - $67.0 million and 2012 - $24.6 million), or 31.5% of net premiums earned (2013 - 31.5% and
2012 - 25.5%). The acquisition cost ratio for the year ended December 31, 2013 was higher than the year ended December
31, 2012 due to a change in business mix.

The reinsurance contracts we write have a wide range of acquisition cost ratios. As a result, our acquisition cost ratio
can vary significantly from period to period depending on the mix of business. For example, our property quota share
contracts have a higher initial acquisition cost ratio compared to other casualty and specialty lines of business due to inuring
catastrophe reinsurance, which increases the acquisition cost ratio on those contracts. Our property quota share contracts are
structured to limit the amount of property catastrophe exposure we assume. As a result, inuring catastrophe reinsurance for
the property catastrophe exposure reduces the amount of premium we assume relative to the acquisition costs or is an
additional component of the acquisition costs. In general, our contracts have similar expected composite ratios (combined
ratio before general and administrative expenses); therefore, contracts with higher initial loss ratio estimates have lower
acquisition cost ratios and contracts with lower initial loss ratios have higher acquisition cost ratios. Retroactive reinsurance
contracts generally have a low initial acquisition cost ratio. In addition, we record the gross premiums written and earned for
retroactive reinsurance contracts at the inception of the contract, which can also impact the mix of premiums earned in a
particular period. Furthermore, a number of our contracts have a sliding scale commission or profit commission feature that
will vary depending on the expected loss expense for the contract. As a result, changes in estimates of loss and loss
adjustment expenses on a contract can result in changes in the sliding scale commissions or profit commissions and a
contract’s overall acquisition cost ratio.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2014
were $22.5 million (2013 - $21.8 million and 2012 - $20.3 million), or 5.2% of net premiums earned (2013 - 10.3% and 2012
- 21.0%).

The increase in general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to the prior
year was primarily due to increased headcount and related employee costs partially offset by lower stock compensation
expense as a result of the IPO which occurred in the year ended December 31, 2013. The increase in general and
administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to the year ended December 31, 2012 was primarily
due to additional share compensation expense as a result of the performance condition applicable to option awards having
been met in conjunction with the completion of the IPO. In addition, we had increased headcount and related staff costs as we
continued to build out our management team and infrastructure throughout 2012 and 2013. These increases were partially
offset by signing bonuses included in the year ended December 31, 2012.

Although general and administrative expenses increased in each year, the general and administrative expense ratio

has continued to decrease due to proportionately higher net premiums earned during the corresponding periods.

Catastrophe Risk Management

The Catastrophe Reinsurer wrote no business before January 1, 2013. From January 1, 2013, the underwriting
results of the Catastrophe Reinsurer as well as results of the Catastrophe Fund, the entities for which the Catastrophe Fund
Manager underwrites and manages catastrophe risk, are captured with the Catastrophe Fund Manager in this segment. In
December 2014, we announced that we would no longer accept investments in the Catastrophe Fund, that no new business
would be written in the Catastrophe Reinsurer and that we would be redeeming all existing investments in the Catastrophe
Fund. Despite the Catastrophe Fund’s solid investment returns from its inception, we are winding it down due to challenging
market conditions and competition with other collateralized reinsurance and insurance-linked securities vehicles. Catastrophe
reinsurance pricing and the fees available to manage catastrophe risk have decreased significantly in the past two years. The
Catastrophe Fund Manager will continue to manage the runoff of the remaining exposure in the Catastrophe Fund.

Gross premiums written. Gross premiums written were $12.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2014

compared to $8.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Net premiums earned. Net premiums earned were $12.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to

$8.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Net investment income. Net investment income of $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to
$4.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The net investment income for both periods relates primarily to gains on
derivative reinsurance contracts written by the Catastrophe Reinsurer. The Catastrophe Reinsurer wrote fewer contracts in the
form of derivatives in 2014 compared to 2013.

Net loss and loss adjustment expenses. There were nil net loss and loss adjustment expenses for the year ended
December 31, 2014. Net loss and loss adjustment expenses were $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, related
to tornadoes, hail and severe thunderstorms that occurred in the United States in 2013.

Acquisition costs. Acquisition costs include commissions, brokerage and excise taxes. Acquisition costs for the year

ended December 31, 2014 were $1.1 million compared to $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2013.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses consist of costs associated with the
employee leasing agreement, catastrophe modeling and legal and accounting expenses. General and administrative expenses
for the year ended December 31, 2014 were $3.1 million (2013 - $3.9 million and 2012 - $1.5 million). The decrease is
primarily attributable to reduced allocations of costs to this segment for 2014. We will continue to incur general and
administrative expenses during 2015 because the Catastrophe Fund Manager will continue to manage the runoff of the
remaining exposure in the Catastrophe Fund.

Corporate function

Investment results

For the year ended December 31, 2014, we recorded net investment income of $73.1 million (2013 - $226.8 million

and 2012 - $132.0 million).

The primary driver of our net investment income is the returns generated by our investment portfolio managed by
our investment manager, Third Point LLC. The following is a summary of the net investment return on investments managed
by Third Point LLC by investment strategy:

Long/short equities .................................................................................................................

The returns for the year ended December 31, 2014 were largely attributable to Third Point LLC’s equity and
structured credit strategies. Within equities, healthcare and industrials and commodities were the strongest performing
sectors, accounting for nearly half of total returns for the year. Investments in Third Point LLC’s performing credit and
macro strategies both detracted moderately from 2014 net investment income. Net investment income for the year ended
December 31, 2014 benefited from higher average investments managed by Third Point LLC compared to the prior year
period due to the float contributed by our property and casualty reinsurance operations.

The returns for the year ended December 31, 2013 were driven primarily by equity positions and to a lesser extent
by gains in structured credit, corporate credit and macro positions. Net investment income for the year ended December 31,
2013 benefited from higher average investments managed by Third Point LLC compared to the prior year periods due to the
net proceeds generated by our IPO and float contributed by our property and casualty reinsurance operations.

For the year ended December 31, 2012, the performance of our investment portfolio, as managed by Third Point
LLC, was driven by positive results across all investment strategies coupled with strong gains in several core holdings,
particularly large positions in Greek government bonds and Yahoo! Inc.

All of our assets managed by Third Point LLC are held in separate accounts and managed under two investment
management agreements whereby Third Point Advisors LLC, an affiliate of Third Point LLC, has a non-controlling interest
in the assets held in the separate accounts. The value of the non-controlling interest is equal to the amounts invested by Third
Point Advisors LLC, plus performance fees paid by us to Third Point Advisors LLC and investment gains and losses thereon.

Our investment manager, Third Point LLC, manages several funds and may manage other client accounts besides
ours, some of which have, or may have, objectives and investment portfolio compositions similar to ours. Because of the
similarity or potential similarity of our investment portfolio to these others, and because, as a matter of ordinary course, Third
Point LLC provides its clients, including us, and investors in its main hedge funds with results of their respective investment
portfolios following the last day of each month, those other clients or investors indirectly may have material nonpublic
information regarding our investment portfolio. To address this issue, and to comply with Regulation FD, we will continue to
post on our website under the heading Investment Portfolio Returns located in the Investors section of the website, following

the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange on the last business day of each month, our preliminary monthly
investment results for that month, with additional information regarding our monthly investment results to be posted
following the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange on the first business day of the following month.

General and administrative expenses related to corporate activities

General and administrative expenses allocated to our corporate function include allocations of payroll and related
costs for certain executives and non-underwriting staff that spend a portion of their time on corporate activities. We also
allocate a portion of overhead and other related costs based on a related headcount analysis. For the year ended December 31,
2014, general and administrative expenses allocated to the corporate function were $14.4 million (2013 - $7.3 million and
2012 - $5.6 million). The increase compared to the prior year periods was primarily due to greater payroll and related
expenses as a result of increased headcount and increased legal and other professional advisor expenses as a result of
operating as a public company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our investment portfolio is concentrated in tradeable securities and is marked to market each day. Pursuant to our
investment guidelines as specified in our two investment management agreements with Third Point LLC, at least 60% of our
portfolio must be invested in securities of publicly traded companies and governments of OECD high income countries,
asset-backed securities, cash, cash equivalents and gold and other precious metals. We can liquidate all or a portion of our
investment portfolio at any time with not less than three days’ notice to pay claims on our reinsurance contracts, and with not
less than five days’ notice to pay for expenses, and on not less than 30 days’ notice in order to satisfy a requirement of A.M.
Best. Since we do not write excess of loss property catastrophe contracts or other types of reinsurance contracts that are
typically subject to sudden, acute, liquidity demands, we believe the liquidity provided by our investment portfolio will be
sufficient to satisfy all our liquidity requirements.

General

Third Point Reinsurance Ltd. is a holding company and has no substantial operations of its own and has moderate
cash needs, most of which are related to the payment of corporate expenses. Its assets consist primarily of its investments in
subsidiaries. Third Point Reinsurance Ltd.’s ability to pay dividends or return capital to shareholders will depend upon the
availability of dividends or other statutorily permissible distributions from those subsidiaries.

We and our Bermuda subsidiaries are subject to Bermuda regulatory constraints that affect our ability to pay
dividends. Under the Companies Act, as amended, a Bermuda company may declare or pay a dividend out of distributable
reserves only if it has reasonable grounds for believing that it is, or would after the payment, be able to pay its liabilities as
they become due and if the realizable value of its assets would thereby not be less than its liabilities. Under the Insurance Act,
Third Point Re and Third Point Re USA, as Class 4 insurers, are prohibited from declaring or paying a dividend if it is in
breach of their respective minimum solvency margin (“MSM”), enhanced capital ratio (“ECR”) or minimum liquidity ratio or
if the declaration or payment of such dividend would cause such a breach. Where either Third Point Re or Third Point Re
USA, as a Class 4 insurer, fails to meet its MSM or minimum liquidity ratio on the last day of any financial year, it is
prohibited from declaring or paying any dividends during the next financial year without the approval of the Bermuda
Monetary Authority (“BMA”).

In addition, each of Third Point Re and Third Point Re USA, as a Class 4 insurer, is prohibited from declaring or
paying in any financial year dividends of more than 25% of its respective total statutory capital and surplus (as shown on its
previous financial year’s statutory balance sheet) unless it files (at least seven days before payment of such dividends) with
the BMA an affidavit signed by at least 2 directors (one of whom must be a Bermuda resident director if any of the insurer’s
directors are resident in Bermuda) and the principal representative stating that it will continue to meet its solvency margin
and minimum liquidity ratio.

As of December 31, 2014, Third Point Re could pay dividends to the Company of approximately $324.0 million
(2013 - $325.9 million). On February 26, 2015, Third Point Re declared and paid a dividend of $158.0 million to Third Point
Reinsurance Ltd. These funds were ultimately used to partially capitalize Third Point Re USA.

Liquidity and Cash Flows

Historically, our sources of funds have primarily consisted of premiums written, reinsurance recoveries, investment
income and proceeds from sales and redemptions of investments. Cash is used primarily to pay loss and loss adjustment
expenses, reinsurance premiums, acquisition costs and general and administrative expenses and to purchase investments.

Our cash flows from operations generally represent the difference between: (l) premiums collected and investment
earnings realized and (2) loss and loss expenses paid, reinsurance purchased and underwriting and other expenses paid. Net
cash provided by underwriting activities results from excluding investment earnings realized from our operating cash flows
results in net cash provided by underwriting activities. Cash flows from operations may differ substantially from net income
and may be volatile from period to period depending on the underwriting opportunities available to us. Due to the nature of
our underwriting portfolio, the potential for large claim payments can be substantial and unpredictable and may need to be
made within relatively short periods of time. Claim payments can also be required several months or years after premiums are
collected.

Operating, investing and financing cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 were as

follows:

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities ...........................................
Net cash used in investing activities ..................................................................

Cash flows from operating activities generally represent net premiums collected less loss and loss adjustment
expenses, acquisition costs and general and administrative expenses paid. As our underwriting activities have continued to
increase from our start of operation in January 2012, we have generated increasing cash flows from operating activities as the
collection of premiums has exceeded the payment of loss and loss adjustment expenses and general and administrative
expenses. Excess cash generated through our operating activities is then invested by Third Point LLC, which is reflected in
the cash used in investing activities.

For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, we contributed $163.0 million, $124.0 million and $59.0
million, respectively, to our separate account managed by Third Point LLC from float generated from our reinsurance
operations. These amounts do not necessarily correspond to the net cash provided by operating activities as presented in the
consolidated statements of cash flows prepared in accordance with US GAAP.

Cash flows used in investment activities primarily reflects investment activities related to our separate account
managed by Third Point LLC. Cash flows used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2014 reflects the
investment of float generated from our reinsurance operations. Cash flows used in investing activities for the year ended
December 31, 2013 reflects the investment of the net proceeds from our IPO and the investment of float generated by our
reinsurance operations. Cash flows used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2012, reflected the initial
investment of our portfolio after the initial capitalization of the Company.

The cash flows from financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2014 consisted primarily of an increase in
the non-controlling interest in the Catastrophe Fund and an increase in deposit liabilities. Cash flows from financing activities
for the year ended December 31, 2013 relate primarily to the net proceeds generated by our IPO and an increase in deposit
liabilities. The cash flows from financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2012 consisted of the receipt of
subscriptions receivable, net of costs.

In February 2015, we completed a public offering of senior notes issued by TPRUSA and guaranteed by Third Point
Reinsurance Ltd. pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3, from which we received net proceeds of approximately
$114.3 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and other offering costs. We used the net proceeds to TPRUSA from
this offering, together with a capital contribution received indirectly from TPRE, to fund an aggregate contribution of $265.0
million for the initial capitalization of Third Point Re USA, TPRUSA’s wholly owned insurance subsidiary. TPREUSA may
also receive additional contributions from time to time, indirectly from TPRE, to pay certain operating expenses of TPRUSA.

For the period from inception until December 31, 2014, we have had sufficient cash flow from proceeds of our
initial capitalization and IPO, from our offering of senior notes issued by TPRUSA in February 2015, and from our
operations to meet our liquidity requirements. We expect that projected operating and capital expenditure requirements and
debt service requirements for at least the next twelve months will be met by our balance of cash, cash flows generated from
underwriting activities and investment income. We may incur additional indebtedness in the future if we determine that it
would be an efficient part of our capital structure.

In addition, we expect that the net proceeds from our IPO in August 2013, proceeds from the issuance of senior
notes in February 2015 and cash flow from operations will provide us with the financial flexibility to execute our strategic
objectives. Our ability to generate cash, however, is subject to our performance, general economic conditions, industry trends
and other factors. To the extent that the net proceeds from our IPO and our February 2015 issuance of senior notes, combined
with existing cash and cash equivalents, investment returns and operating cash flow, are insufficient to fund our future
activities and requirements, we may need to raise additional funds through public or private equity or debt financing. If we
issue equity securities in order to raise additional funds, substantial dilution to existing shareholders may occur. If we raise
cash through the issuance of additional indebtedness, we may be subject to additional contractual restrictions on our business.
There is no assurance that we would be able to raise the additional funds on favorable terms or at all. There are regulatory
and contractual restrictions on the ability of our reinsurance subsidiaries to pay dividends to their respective parent
companies, including for purposes of servicing TPRUSA’s debt obligations. See Business--Regulation--Bermuda Insurance
Regulation--Restrictions on Dividends and Distributions.

We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our consolidated results of operations to date. The
effects of inflation are considered implicitly in pricing our reinsurance contracts. Loss reserves are established to recognize
likely loss settlements at the date payment is made. Those reserves inherently recognize the effects of inflation. However, the
actual effects of inflation on our results cannot be accurately known until claims are ultimately resolved.

Cash and restricted cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash held in banks and other short-term, highly liquid investments with original

maturity dates of ninety days or less.

Restricted cash and cash equivalents consist of cash held in trust accounts with the Catastrophe Reinsurer, securing
collateralized reinsurance contracts written, trust accounts securing obligations under certain reinsurance contracts and cash
held with brokers securing letters of credit issued under credit facilities.

Letter of Credit Facilities

As of December 31, 2014, we had entered into the following letter of credit facilities, which automatically renew

annually unless terminated by either party in accordance with the required notice period:

(2) Effective January 23, 2015, the Citibank facility was renewed until January 23, 2016.
(3) On February 26, 2015, we entered into a letter of credit facility with Lloyds Bank for $150.0 million.

As of December 31, 2014, $218.5 million (December 31, 2013 - $127.3 million) of letters of credit, representing
54.6% of the total available facilities, had been drawn upon (December 31, 2013 – 42.4% (based on total available facilities
of $300 million)).

Under the facilities, we provide collateral that may consist of equity securities, repurchase agreements, restricted
cash, and cash and cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2014, total cash and cash equivalents with a fair value of $219.0
million (December 31, 2013 - $100.6 million) were pledged as security against the letters of credit issued. These amounts are
included in restricted cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated balance sheets. Each of the facilities contain customary
events of default and restrictive covenants, including but not limited to, limitations on liens on collateral, transactions with

affiliates, mergers and sales of assets, as well as solvency and maintenance of certain minimum pledged equity requirements,
A.M. Best Company rating of “A-” or higher. Each restricts issuance of any debt without the consent of the letter of credit
provider. Additionally, if an event of default exists, as defined in the letter of credit facilities, we will be prohibited from
paying dividends. We were in compliance with all of the covenants as of December 31, 2014.

Financial Condition

Shareholders’ equity

As of December 31, 2014, total shareholders’ equity was $1,552.0 million compared to $1,510.4 million as of
December 31, 2013. This increase was primarily due to net income of $50.4 million offset by net distributions and
contributions of non-controlling interests of $31.1 million, primarily related to our investment in our joint venture with Third
Point LLC.

Investments

As of December 31, 2014, total cash and net investments managed by Third Point LLC at fair value was $1,802.2
million compared to $1,559.4 million as of December 31, 2013. The increase was primarily due to float of $163.0 million
million generated by our reinsurance operations and net investment income for the year ended December 31, 2014.

amount and timing of actual loss payments could differ materially from the estimated payouts in the table above. Please refer to “Critical Policies and
Accounting Estimates - Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Reserves” for additional information.

(2) On December 20, 2011, Third Point Re acquired from Netjets Sales Inc. (“Netjets”), two 12.5%, five year, undivided interests in two aircraft. On
September 3, 2014, Third Point Re acquired an undivided 6.25% interest in one additional aircraft for a five year period, with a minimum commitment
period of two and a half years. The agreement with Netjets provides for monthly management fees, occupied hourly fees and other fees.

(3) We lease office space at Chesney House in Bermuda. This two year lease is scheduled to expire on November 30, 2015, with an option to renew for an
additional three years. We also lease office space in New Jersey, U.S.A. This 6 months lease expires on July 31, 2015 and will be extended
automatically for successive periods of six months until terminated.

(4) See Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements for detailed information on deposit liability contracts. For purposes of this contractual obligations
table, we have included estimates of future interest accruals and what we expect the deposit liability contracts would settle for at their probable
commutation dates.

The contractual obligations table above does not include an estimate of the period of cash settlement of our uncertain tax
positions with the respective taxing authorities given that we cannot make a reasonable reliable estimate of the timing of cash
settlements.

Off-Balance Sheet Commitments and Arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, other than those derivatives in our investment portfolio and disclosed in
our notes to consolidated financial statements, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements. We do not
participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as
variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements.

As of December 31, 2014, we had an unfunded capital commitment of $4.2 million related to our investment in the Hellenic
Fund (see Note 17 for additional information) and an unfunded capital commitment of $25.0 million related to our

investment in the Kiskadee Fund (See Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information). On January
2, 2014, we funded $5.0 million of our $25.0 million commitment to the Kiskadee Fund, and expect to fund the remainder in
June 2015.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We believe we are principally exposed to the following types of market risk:

•

equity price risk;

foreign currency risk;

interest rate risk;

commodity price risk;

credit risk; and

political risk.

Equity Price Risk

Our investment manager, Third Point LLC, continually tracks the performance and exposures of our entire
investment portfolio, each strategy and sector, and selective individual securities. A particular focus is placed on “beta”
exposure, which is the portion of the portfolio that is directly correlated to risks and movements of the equity market as a
whole (usually represented by the S&P 500 index) as opposed to idiosyncratic risks and factors associated with a specific
position. Further, the performance of our investment portfolio has historically been compared to several market indices,
including the S&P 500, CS/Tremont Event Driven Index, HFRI Event Driven Index, and others.

As of December 31, 2014, our investment portfolio included long and short equity securities, along with certain
equity-based derivative instruments, the carrying values of which are primarily based on quoted market prices. Generally,
market prices of common equity securities are subject to fluctuation, which could cause the amount to be realized upon the
closing of the position to differ significantly from their current reported value. This risk is partly mitigated by the presence of
both long and short equity securities in our investment portfolio. As of December 31, 2014, a 10% decline in the value of all
equity and equity-linked derivatives would result in a loss of $116.5 million, or 6.3% in the fair value of our total net
investments managed by Third Point LLC.

Computations of the prospective effects of hypothetical equity price changes are based on numerous assumptions,
including the maintenance of the existing level and composition of investment securities and should not be relied on as
indicative of future results.

Foreign Currency Risk

Reinsurance contracts

We have foreign currency exposure related to non-U.S. dollar denominated reinsurance contracts. We wrote non-
U.S. dollar denominated reinsurance contracts for the first time during in the year ended December 31, 2014. Of our gross
premiums written from inception, $48.5 million, or 4.1%, were written in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. For these
contracts, non-U.S. dollar assets generally offset liabilities in the same non-U.S. dollar currencies resulting in minimal net
exposure. As of December 31, 2014, loss and loss adjustment expense reserves included $6.1 million in foreign currencies.

Investments

Third Point LLC continually measures foreign currency exposures in the investment portfolio and compares current
exposures to historical movement within the relevant currencies. Within the typical course of business, Third Point LLC may
decide to hedge foreign currency risk within our investment portfolio by using short-term forward contracts; however, from
time to time Third Point LLC may determine not to hedge based on its views of the likely movements of the underlying
currency.

We are exposed to foreign currency risk through cash, forwards, options and investments in securities denominated
in foreign currencies. Foreign currency exchange rate risk is the potential for adverse changes in the U.S. dollar value of

investments (long and short) and foreign currency derivative instruments, which we employ from both a speculative and risk
management perspective, due to a change in the exchange rate of the foreign currency in which cash and financial
instruments are denominated. As of December 31, 2014, our total net short exposure to foreign denominated securities
represented 3.4% (December 31, 2013 - net short exposure of 6.2%) of our investment portfolio including cash and cash
equivalents, was $61.0 million (December 31, 2013 - net short exposure $97.7 million).

The following table summarizes the net impact that 10% increase and decrease in the value of the U.S. dollar against

select foreign currencies would have had on the value of our investment portfolio as of December 31, 2014:

Interest Rate Risk

Our investment portfolio includes interest rate sensitive securities, such as corporate and sovereign debt instruments,
asset-backed securities (“ABS”), and interest rate options. One key market risk exposure for any debt instrument is interest
rate risk. As interest rates rise, the fair value of our long fixed-income portfolio falls, and the opposite is also true as interest
rates fall. Additionally, some of our corporate and sovereign debt instruments, ABS and derivative investments may also be
credit sensitive and their value may indirectly fluctuate with changes in interest rates.

The effects of interest rate movement have historically not had a material impact on the performance of our
investment portfolio as managed by Third Point LLC. However, our investment manager monitors the potential effects of
interest rate shifts by performing stress tests against the portfolio composition using a proprietary in-house risk system.

The following table summarizes the impact that a 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates would have

on the value of our investment portfolio as of December 31, 2014:

Includes instruments for which durations are available on December 31, 2014. Includes a convexity adjustment if convexity is available. Not included
are mortgage hedges which would reduce the impact of rate changes.

For the purposes of the above tables, the hypothetical impact of changes in interest rates on debt instruments, ABS,
and interest rate options was determined based on the interest rates and credit spreads applicable to each instrument
individually. We and our investment manager periodically monitor our net exposure to interest rate risk and generally do not
expect changes in interest rates to have a materially adverse impact on our operations.

Commodity Price Risk

In managing our investment portfolio, Third Point LLC periodically monitors and actively trades to take advantage
of, and/or seeks to minimize any damage from, fluctuations in commodity prices. As our investment manager, Third Point
LLC may choose to opportunistically make a long or short investment in a commodity or in a security directly impacted by
the price of a commodity as a response to market developments. From time to time, we invest in commodities or

commodities exposures in the form of derivative contracts from both a speculative and risk management perspective.
Generally, market prices of commodities are subject to fluctuation. As of December 31, 2014, a 10% decline in the price of
each of these commodities and commodity-linked securities would have resulted in a loss of $0.0 million in total net
investments managed by Third Point LLC. Generally, market prices of commodities are subject to fluctuation.

As of December 31, 2014, our investment portfolio included de minimis exposure to changes in commodity prices,

through ownership of physical commodities and commodity-linked securities.

We and our investment manager periodically monitor our exposure to commodity price fluctuations and generally

do not expect changes in commodity prices to have a materially adverse impact on our operations.

Credit Risk

We are exposed to credit risk from our clients relating to balances receivable under our reinsurance contracts,
including premiums receivable, and the possibility that counterparties may default on their obligations to us. The risk of
counterparty default is partially mitigated by the fact that any amount owed to us from a reinsurance counterparty is netted
against any claims related losses we would pay in the future. We monitor the collectability of these balances on a regular
basis.

We are also exposed to credit risk through our investment activities related to our separate accounts managed by
Third Point LLC. Third Point LLC typically performs intensive fundamental analysis on the broader markets, credit spreads,
security-specific information, and the underlying issuers of debt securities that are contained in our investment portfolio.

In addition, the securities, commodities, and cash in our investment portfolio are held with several prime brokers,
subjecting us to the related credit risk from the possibility that one or more of them may default on their obligations to us.
Our investment manager closely and regularly monitors the concentration of credit risk with each broker and if necessary,
transfers cash or securities among brokers to diversify and mitigate our credit risk.

We also have credit risk exposure in several reinsurance contracts with companies that write credit risk insurance.

Political Risk

We are exposed to political risk to the extent our investment manager trades securities that are listed on various U.S.
and foreign exchanges and markets. The governments in any of these jurisdictions could impose restrictions, regulations or
other measures, which may have a material impact on our investment strategy and underwriting operations.

In managing our investment portfolio, Third Point LLC routinely monitors and assesses relative levels of risks
associated with local political and market conditions and focuses its investments primarily in countries in which it believes
the rule of law is respected and followed, thereby affording more predictable outcomes of investments in that country.

We also have political risk exposure in several reinsurance contracts with companies that write political risk

insurance.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Please refer to Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 included in

Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for details of recently issued accounting standards.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

See our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and required financial statement schedules commencing

on page F-1.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

Not applicable.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

(a)

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the
effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e)
and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of December 31, 2014. Based upon this evaluation,
our Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were
effective as of December 31, 2014.

(b)

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no material changes to our internal control over financial reporting in connection with the
evaluation required by Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act during the most recent fiscal quarter that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

(c)

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting
for the company. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive
and principal financial officers and effected by the company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to
provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for
external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures
that:

•

pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions
and dispositions of the assets of the company;

provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures
of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the
company; and

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or
disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial
statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk
that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or
procedures may deteriorate.

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014. In
making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 Framework). Based on its assessment,
management concluded that, as of December 31, 2014, our internal control over financial reporting is effective based on
those criteria.

Ernst & Young Ltd., an independent registered public accounting firm, which has audited and reported on the consolidated
financial statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, has issued its written attestation report on its assessment
of our internal control over financial reporting, which follows this report.

(d)

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Third Point Reinsurance Ltd.

We have audited Third Point Reinsurance Ltd.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, based on
criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the “COSO criteria”). Third Point Reinsurance Ltd.’s management is responsible
for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal
control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over
Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting
based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective
internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an
understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and
evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other
procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures
that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and
dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to
permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and
expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the
company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or
disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also,
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, Third Point Reinsurance Ltd. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2014, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States),
the consolidated balance sheets of Third Point Reinsurance Ltd. as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related
consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2014, and our report dated February 27, 2015 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Third Point Reinsurance Ltd.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Third Point Reinsurance Ltd. as of December 31, 2014
and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years
in the period ended December 31, 2014. Our audits also included the financial statement schedules listed in the Index at Item
15. These financial statements and schedules are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements and schedules based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial
position of Third Point Reinsurance Ltd. at December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the consolidated results of its operations and
its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States),
Third Point Reinsurance Ltd.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, based on criteria
established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (2013 framework), and our report dated February 27, 2015 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Third Point Reinsurance Ltd.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(Expressed in United States Dollars)

Organization

Third Point Reinsurance Ltd. (together with its wholly and majority owned subsidiaries, the “Company”) was incorporated
under the laws of Bermuda on October 6, 2011. Through its reinsurance subsidiaries, the Company is a provider of global
specialty property and casualty reinsurance products. The Company operates through two licensed reinsurance subsidiaries,
Third Point Reinsurance Company Ltd. (“Third Point Re”), a Bermuda reinsurance company that commenced operations in
January 2012, and Third Point Reinsurance (USA) Ltd. (“Third Point Re USA”).

Third Point Re USA is a Bermuda reinsurance company that was incorporated on November 21, 2014 and commenced
operations in February 2015. Third Point Re USA made an election under Section 953d of the Internal Revenue Code to be
taxed as a U.S. entity. Third Point Re USA will price and underwrite U.S. domiciled reinsurance business from an office in
the United States. Third Point Re USA is a wholly owned subsidiary of Third Point Re (USA) Holdings, Inc. (“TPRUSA”),
an intermediate holding company based in the U.S., which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Third Point Re (UK) Holdings
Ltd. (“Third Point Re UK”), an intermediate holding company based in the United Kingdom. Third Point Re UK is a wholly
owned subsidiary of Third Point Reinsurance Ltd.

On June 15, 2012, Third Point Reinsurance Opportunities Fund Ltd. (the “Catastrophe Fund”), Third Point Reinsurance
Investment Management Ltd. (the “Catastrophe Fund Manager”), and Third Point Re Cat Ltd. (the “Catastrophe Reinsurer”)
were incorporated in Bermuda. The Company subsequently announced a strategic arrangement with Hiscox Insurance
Company (Bermuda) Limited (“Hiscox”) to launch a collateralized catastrophe reinsurance underwriting fund management
business through these entities. The Catastrophe Fund Manager, a Bermuda exempted company, is the investment manager of
the Catastrophe Fund. In December 2014, the Company announced that it would no longer accept investments in the
Catastrophe Fund and that no new business would be written in the Catastrophe Reinsurer and that the Company would be
redeeming all existing investments in the Catastrophe Fund. The Catastrophe Fund Manager will continue to manage the run
off of the remaining exposure in the Catastrophe Fund.

On August 2, 2012, the Company established a wholly-owned subsidiary in the United Kingdom, Third Point Re Marketing
(UK) Limited (“TPRUK”). On May 20, 2013, TPRUK was licensed as an insurance intermediary by the UK Financial
Conduct Authority.

On August 20, 2013, the Company completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) of 24,832,484 common shares at an offering
price of $12.50 per share. The net proceeds of the offering were $286.0 million, after deducting offering costs. The
Company’s common shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “TPRE”.

These consolidated financial statements include the results of the Company and its wholly and majority owned subsidiaries
and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S.
GAAP”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Significant accounting policies

The following is a summary of the significant accounting and reporting policies adopted by the Company:

Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported and disclosed amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The major estimates reflected in the Company’s
consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, the loss and loss adjustment expense reserves, estimates of
written and earned premiums and fair value of financial instruments.

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash held in banks and other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturity
dates of ninety days or less.

Premium revenue recognition

To the extent that the amount of written premium is estimable, the Company estimates the ultimate premiums for the entire
contract period and records this estimate at the inception of the contract. For contracts where the full written premium is not
estimable at inception, the Company records written premium for the portion of the contract period for which the amount is
estimable. These estimates are based primarily on information in the underlying contracts as well as information provided by
clients and/or brokers.

Premiums written are earned over the exposure period in proportion to the period of risk covered. Unearned premiums
represent the portion of premiums written that relate to the remaining term of the underlying policies in force.

Premiums for retroactive exposures in reinsurance contracts are earned at the inception of the contract, as all of the
underlying loss events covered by these exposures occurred in the past. Any underwriting profit at inception related to
retroactive exposures in a reinsurance contract is deferred and recognised over the estimated future payout of the loss and loss
adjustment expenses reserves. Any underwriting loss at inception related to retroactive exposures in a reinsurance contract is
recognised immediately.

Changes in premium estimates are expected and may result in adjustments in any reporting period. These estimates change
over time as additional information regarding the underlying business volume is obtained. Any subsequent adjustments
arising on such estimates are recorded in the period in which they are determined.

Reinsurance premiums ceded

From time to time the Company reduces the risk of losses on business written by reinsuring certain risks and exposures with
other reinsurers. The Company remains liable to the extent that any retrocessionaire fails to meet its obligations and to the
extent that the Company does not hold sufficient security for their unpaid obligations. Ceded premiums are written during the
period in which the risks incept and are expensed over the contract period in proportion to the period of risk covered.
Unearned premiums ceded consist of the unexpired portion of reinsurance ceded.

Deferred acquisition costs

Acquisition costs consist of commissions, brokerage and excise taxes that are related directly to the successful acquisition of
new or renewal reinsurance contracts. These costs are deferred and amortized over the period in which the related premiums
are earned. The Company evaluates the recoverability of deferred acquisition costs by determining if the sum of future earned
premiums and anticipated investment income is greater than expected future loss and loss adjustment expenses and
acquisition costs. If a loss is probable on the unexpired portion of contracts in force, a premium deficiency loss is recognized.
As of December 31, 2014, deferred acquisition costs are considered to be fully recoverable and no premium deficiency has
been recorded.

Acquisition costs also include profit commissions that are expensed when incurred. Profit commissions are calculated and
accrued based on the expected loss experience for contracts and recorded when the current loss estimate indicates that a profit
commission is probable under the contract terms.

Loss and loss adjustment expense reserves

The Company’s loss and loss adjustment expense reserves include case reserves and reserves for losses incurred but not yet
reported (“IBNR reserves”). Case reserves are established for losses that have been reported, but not yet paid. IBNR reserves
represent the estimated loss and loss adjustment expenses that have been incurred by insureds and reinsureds but not yet
reported to the insurer or reinsurer, including unknown future developments on loss and loss adjustment expenses that are

F-8

known to the insurer or reinsurer. IBNR reserves are established by management based on actuarially determined estimates of
ultimate loss and loss adjustment expenses.

Inherent in the estimate of ultimate loss and loss adjustment expenses are expected trends in claim severity and frequency and
other factors that may vary significantly as claims are settled. Accordingly, ultimate loss and loss adjustment expenses may
differ materially from the amounts recorded in the consolidated financial statements. These estimates are reviewed regularly
and, as experience develops and new information becomes known, the reserves are adjusted as necessary. Such adjustments,
if any, are recorded in the consolidated statements of income in the period in which they become known.

Deposit liabilities

Certain contracts do not transfer sufficient insurance risk and are accounted for using the deposit method of accounting.
Using the deposit method of accounting, a deposit liability, rather than written premium, is initially recorded based upon the
consideration received less any explicitly identified premiums or fees. In subsequent periods, the deposit liability is adjusted
by calculating the effective yield on the deposit to reflect actual payments to date and future expected payments.

Fair value measurement

The Company determines the fair value of financial instruments in accordance with current accounting guidance, which
defines fair value and establishes a three level fair value hierarchy based upon the transparency of inputs used in the valuation
of an asset or liability. Fair value is defined as the price that the Company would receive to sell an asset or would pay to
transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company determines
the estimated fair value of each individual security utilizing the highest level inputs available.

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments, approximates the carrying
amounts presented in the consolidated balance sheets.

Investments

The Company’s investments are classified as “trading securities” and are carried at fair value with changes in fair value
included in earnings in the consolidated statements of income.

The fair value of the Company’s investments are based on quoted market prices, or when such prices are not available, by
reference to broker or underwriter bid indications, industry recognized pricing vendors, and/or internal pricing valuation
techniques. Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis with balances pending settlement included in due
to/from brokers in the consolidated balance sheets.

Realized gains and losses are determined using cost calculated on a specific identification basis. Dividends are recorded on
the ex-dividend date. Income and expense are recorded on the accrual basis including interest and premiums amortized and
discounts accreted.

Derivatives

Underwriting

The Catastrophe Reinsurer enters into certain contracts under which the potential loss payments are triggered exclusively by
reference to a specified index, such as an industry loss. These contracts are considered derivatives. The Company records the
fair value of these contracts in derivative liabilities, at fair value, in the consolidated balance sheet. Changes in the fair value
of these contracts are recorded in net investment income in the consolidated statement of income.

Investments

Derivative instruments within our investment assets managed by our investment manager Third Point LLC, are recorded in
the consolidated balance sheets at fair value, with changes in fair values and realized gains and losses recognised in net
investment income in the consolidated statements of income.

Derivatives serve as a key component of the Company’s investment strategy and are utilized primarily to structure the
portfolio, or individual investments, and to economically match the investment objectives of the Company. The Company’s

F-9

derivatives do not qualify as hedges for financial reporting purposes and are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets on a
gross basis and not offset against any collateral pledged or received. Pursuant to the International Swaps and Derivatives
Association (“ISDA”) master agreements, securities lending agreements and other derivatives agreements, the Company and
its counterparties typically have the ability to net certain payments owed to each other in specified circumstances. In addition,
in the event a party to one of the ISDA master agreements, securities lending agreements or other derivatives agreements
defaults, or a transaction is otherwise subject to termination, the non-defaulting party generally has the right to set off against
payments owed to the defaulting party or collateral held by the non defaulting party.

The Company enters into derivative contracts to manage credit risk, interest rate risk, currency exchange risk, and other
exposure risks. The Company uses derivatives in connection with its risk-management activities to economically hedge
certain risks and to gain exposure to certain investments. The utilization of derivative contracts also allows for an efficient
means by which to trade certain asset classes.

Fair values of derivatives are determined by using quoted market prices, industry recognized pricing vendors, and
counterparty quotes when available; otherwise fair values are based on pricing models that consider the time value of money,
volatility, and the current market and contractual prices of underlying financial instruments.

Embedded derivatives

Certain of the Company’s deposit and reinsurance contracts contain interest crediting features that vary based on the net
investment return on investments managed by Third Point LLC. These contractual features are considered embedded
derivatives in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We include the estimated fair value of these embedded derivatives in the
consolidated balance sheets with the host contract in order to reflect the expected settlement of these features with the host
contract. Prior to 2014, the changes in estimated fair value of these embedded derivatives were recorded in net investment
income. As these embedded derivatives have become more prominent, the presentation has been modified and changes in the
estimated fair value of embedded derivatives are now recorded in other expenses in the consolidated statements of income. In
addition, fixed interest crediting features on these contracts that were recorded in net investment income are now classified in
other expenses in the consolidated statements of income. As a result, investment expense of $4.9 million and $0.4 million
that was previously reported in net investment income for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, is now
being reported in other expenses to conform to the current year presentation.

Share-based compensation

The Company accounts for its share-based compensation transactions using the fair value of the award at the grant date.
Determining the fair value of share purchase options at the grant date requires estimation and judgment. The Company uses
an option-pricing model (Black-Scholes) to calculate the fair value of share purchase options.

For share purchase options or restricted share awards granted that contain both a service and performance condition, the
Company recognizes share compensation expense only for the portion of the options or restricted share awards that are
considered probable of vesting. Share compensation for share purchase options or restricted share awards considered
probable of vesting is expensed over the service (vesting) period on a graded vesting basis. The probability of share purchase
options or restricted share awards vesting is evaluated at each reporting period. When the share purchase options or restricted
share awards are considered probable of vesting, the Company records a true up of share compensation expense from the
grant date (service inception date) to the current reporting period end based on the fair value of the options or restricted share
awards at the grant date.

The Company measures grant date fair value for restricted share awards, with a service condition only, based on the price of
its common shares at the grant date and the expense is recognised on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

Warrants

The Company accounts for warrant contracts issued to certain of its founding investors (“Founders”) in conjunction with the
initial capitalization of the Company by using either the physical settlement or net-share settlement methods. The fair value
of these warrants was recorded in equity as additional paid-in capital. The fair value of warrants issued are estimated on the
grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

The Company accounts for certain warrant contracts issued to an advisor, where services have been received by the
Company, in part, in exchange for equity instruments, based on the fair value of such services. The associated cost of these

F-10

warrants has been recorded as capital raise costs and is included in additional paid in capital in the consolidated statements of
shareholders’ equity.

Offering costs

Equity

Offering costs incurred in connection with the IPO, which included underwriters’ fees, legal and accounting fees, printing
and other fees were deducted from the gross proceeds of the offering. The proceeds from the issuance of shares net of
offering costs is included in additional paid in capital in the consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity.

Debt

Costs incurred in issuing debt, which includes underwriters’ fees, legal and accounting fees, printing and other fees are
capitalized and amortized over the term of the debt. The amortization of these costs is included in interest expense in the
consolidated statements of income. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had capitalized $0.6 million of costs associated
with the February 2015 debt issuance.

Foreign currency transactions

The Company’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar. Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded in U.S. dollars at the
exchange rate in effect on the transaction date. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are remeasured at the
exchange rates in effect at the reporting date and foreign exchange gains and losses are included in the consolidated
statements of income.

Income taxes and uncertain tax positions

Under current Bermuda law, the Company and its Bermuda subsidiaries are not subject to any income or capital gains taxes.
In the event that such taxes are imposed, the Company and its Bermuda subsidiaries would be exempted from any such taxes
until March 2035 under the Tax Assurance Certificates issued to such entities pursuant to the Bermuda Exempted
Undertakings Tax Protection Act of 1966, as amended.

The Company has an operating subsidiary in the United Kingdom, TPRUK, which is subject to relevant taxes in that
jurisdiction. On July 17, 2013, the United Kingdom government passed the Finance Act 2013, which reduced the corporate
income tax rate from 23% to 21% (effective April 1, 2014) and provided for a further reduction in the corporate income tax
rate from 21% to 20% (effective April 1, 2015). For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company recorded $0.02 million
for income taxes relating to TPRUK.

The Company is subject to withholding tax obligations related to dividends, capital gains and interest on certain investments.
Prior to the second quarter of 2014, these withholding tax obligations were recorded as deductions to net investment income.
As these withholding tax obligations have increased, the Company began presenting the relevant amounts in income tax
expense in the consolidated statements of income. As a result, withholding taxes of $3.0 million have been recorded in
income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2014. Withholding taxes of $1.1 million and $1.8 million were
previously recorded as deductions to net investment income for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

As of and for the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company had recorded a $2.6 million provision for uncertain tax
positions related to investment transactions in certain foreign jurisdictions.

Non-controlling interests

The Company consolidates the results of entities in which it has a controlling financial interest. The Company records the
portion of shareholders’ equity attributable to non-controlling interests as a separate line within shareholders’ equity in the
consolidated balance sheets. The Company records the portion of income attributable to non-controlling interests as a
separate line within the consolidated statements of income.

F-11

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares and participating securities outstanding
during the period. The weighted average number of common shares excludes any dilutive effect of outstanding warrants,
options and convertible securities such as unvested restricted shares. Diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted
average number of common shares and share equivalents including any dilutive effects of warrants, options and other awards
under share plans and are determined using the treasury stock method. U.S. GAAP requires that unvested share awards that
contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid (referred to as “participating
securities”), be included in the number of shares outstanding for both basic and diluted earnings per share calculations. The
Company treats certain of its unvested restricted shares as participating securities. In the event of a net loss, the participating
securities are excluded from the calculation of both basic and diluted loss per share.

Leases

Leases in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating
leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are recognised in the
consolidated statements of income on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Comprehensive income

The Company has no comprehensive income other than net income disclosed in the consolidated statements of income.

Segment information

Under U.S. GAAP, operating segments are based on the internal information that management uses for allocating resources
and assessing performance of the Company. The Company reports two operating segments – Property and Casualty
Reinsurance and Catastrophe Risk Management. The Company also has a corporate function that includes the Company’s
investment results and certain general and administrative expenses related to its corporate activities.

Prior year changes in the presentation of consolidated statements of cash flows

The Company had previously excluded income attributable to non-controlling interests from cash flows provided by
operating activities and included these amounts in cash flows used in investing activities and provided by financing activities.
For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company began including income from non-controlling interests in cash flows
provided by operating activities. In addition, cash flows related to the non-controlling interest in investment affiliate were
previously included in net cash used in investing activities and is now being included in net cash provided by financing
activities. Lastly, we are now including the interest expense on deposit liabilities and change in fair value of embedded
derivatives in deposit liability contracts as non-cash adjustments in operating activities. These changes did not impact the
consolidated balance sheet or consolidated income statement for the prior periods. The Company has corrected the
presentation of its consolidated statements of cash flows for the prior year periods.

Recently issued accounting standards

Issued and effective as of December 31, 2014

In January 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-01,
Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (ASU 2013-01). The objective of ASU 2013-01 is
to address implementation issues about the scope of ASU 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The
amendments clarify that the scope of ASU 2011-11 applies to derivatives, including bifurcated embedded derivatives,
repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions.
Entities with other types of financial assets and financial liabilities subject to a master netting arrangement or similar
agreement also are affected because these amendments make them no longer subject to the disclosure requirements in ASU
2011-11. ASU 2013-01 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The Company
adopted ASU 2013-01 effective with its IPO and has included the required disclosures in Note 8 of the notes to the
consolidated financial statements.

In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (ASU 2013-02). The
objective of ASU 2013-02 is to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of other comprehensive income. ASU 2013-02

F-12

is effective for periods subsequent to December 15, 2012. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.

In June 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-08, Financial Services - Investment Companies -
Amendments to the Scope, Measurement, and Disclosure Requirements (ASU 2013-08). The amendments in this update
change the assessment of whether an entity is an investment company by developing a new two-tiered approach for that
assessment, which requires an entity to possess certain fundamental characteristics while allowing judgment in assessing
other typical characteristics. The new approach requires an entity to assess all of the characteristics of an investment company
and consider its purpose and design to determine whether it is an investment company. ASU 2013-08 is effective
prospectively for periods subsequent to December 15, 2013. Early adoption was prohibited. The Company adopted ASU
2013-08 in the first quarter of 2014, and the adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.

Issued but not yet effective as of December 31, 2014

In April 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures
of Disposals of Components of an Entity (ASU 2014-08). ASU 2014-08 changes the requirements for reporting discontinued
operations, such that a disposal of a component of the Company’s operations is required to be reported as discontinued
operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on the Company’s operations and
financial results. ASU 2014-08 is effective for all disposals that occur after January 1, 2015, with early adoption permitted.
The Company does not expect this new pronouncement to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-
09). ASU 2014-09 provides a framework, through a five-step process, for recognizing revenue from customers, improves
comparability and consistency of recognizing revenue across entities, industries, jurisdictions and capital markets, and
requires enhanced disclosures. Certain contracts with customers are specifically excluded from the scope of ASU 2014-09,
including amongst others, insurance contracts accounted for under Accounting Standard Codification 944, Financial Services
- Insurance. ASU 2014-09 is effective on January 1, 2017 with retrospective adoption required for the comparative periods.
The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance, however, it is not expected to have a material impact on the
Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-11, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860):
Repurchase-to Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures (ASU 2014-11). ASU 2014-11 amends the
accounting guidance for “repo-to-maturity” transactions and repurchase agreements executed as repurchase financings. In
addition, the new standard requires a transferor to disclose more information about certain transactions, including those in
which it retains substantially all of the exposure to the economic returns of the underlying transferred asset over the
transaction’s term. For repurchase agreements and securities lending agreements accounted for as secured borrowings as of a
reporting date, the new standard requires obligors (transferors of collateral) to disaggregate the related gross obligation by
class of collateral pledged, and to disclose the remaining contractual maturity of the agreements, and to discuss the potential
risks of these arrangements and related collateral pledged, including the risks stemming from a decline in the value of the
pledged collateral and how such risks are managed. Additionally, as a result of the new accounting guidance, repo-to-
maturity transactions will be reported as secured borrowings. Transferors will also no longer apply the current “linked”
accounting model to repurchase agreements executed contemporaneously with the initial transfer of the underlying financial
asset with the same counterparty. ASU 2014-11 is effective prospectively for periods subsequent to December 15, 2014. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance, however, it is not expected to have a material impact on the
Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements- Going
Concern (ASU 2014-15). ASU 2014-15 requires management to evaluate, for each annual and interim reporting period,
whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern
within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. If conditions or events raise substantial doubt about an
entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, the entity will be required to disclose information that enables the users of the
financial statements to understand the principal conditions or events, management’s evaluation of the significance of those
events or conditions and management’s plans that alleviate substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going
concern. ASU 2014-1 becomes effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016. The Company does not
expect this new guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

F-13

In February 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810) Amendments to the
Consolidation Analysis (ASU 2015-02). ASU 2015-02 requires management to evaluate whether limited partnerships and
similar legal entities are variable interest entities (VIEs) or voting interest entities. ASU- 2015-02 eliminates the presumption
that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership and affects the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that
are involved with VIEs, particularly those that have fee arrangements and related party relationships. ASU 2015-02 also
provides a scope exception from consolidation guidance for reporting entities with interests in legal entities that are required
to comply with or operate in accordance with requirements that are similar to those in Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company
Act of 1940 for registered money market funds. The amendments in this Update are effective for interim and annual periods
beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this
guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Restricted cash and cash equivalents

Restricted cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 consisted of the following:

(1) Restricted cash securing collateralized reinsurance contracts written by the Catastrophe Reinsurer cannot be released until the contract’s exposure has
expired and the cedant agrees to release the collateral. All remaining exposures being collateralized by these amounts are expected to expire by July
2015, upon which, the restricted cash will be released.

(2) Restricted cash securing letter of credit facilities pertain to letters of credit issued to clients and cash securing these obligations which the Company
will not be released from until the underlying reserves have been settled. The time period for which the Company expects these letters of credit to be in
place varies from contract to contract but, can last several years.

(3) Restricted cash securing other reinsurance contracts pertain to trust accounts securing the Company’s contractual obligation under certain reinsurance
contracts which the Company will not be released from until all underlying risks have expired or have been settled. The time period for which the
Company expects these trust accounts to be in place varies from contract to contract but, can last several years.

Reinsurance premiums ceded

The Company from time to time purchases retrocessional coverage for one or more of the following reasons: to
manage its overall exposure, to reduce its net liability on individual risks, to obtain additional underwriting capacity and to
balance its underwriting portfolio. Additionally, retrocession can be used as a mechanism to share the risks and rewards of
business written and therefore can be used as a tool to align the Company’s interests with those of its counterparties. The
Company currently has coverage that provides for recovery of a portion of loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred on one
crop contract written in 2013 and one new contract entered into in the third quarter of 2014 (2012 - none). Loss and loss
adjustment expenses recoverable from the retrocessionaires are recorded as assets. For the year ended December 31, 2014,
loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred and reported on the consolidated statements of income are net of loss and loss
expenses recovered of $0.4 million (2013 - $9.3 million and 2012 - nil). Retrocession contracts do not relieve the Company
from its obligations to the insureds. Failure of retrocessionaires to honor their obligations could result in losses to the
Company. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had loss and loss adjustment expenses recoverable of $0.8
million and $9.3 million, respectively, with one retrocessionaire who was rated “A (Excellent)” by A.M. Best Company. The
Company regularly evaluates the financial condition of its retrocessionaires to assess the ability of the retrocessionaires to
honor their obligations.

The Company’s Investment Manager has a formal valuation policy that sets forth the pricing methodology for investments to
be used in determining the fair value of each security in the Company’s portfolio. The valuation policy is updated and
approved at least on an annual basis by Third Point LLC’s valuation committee (the “Committee”), which is comprised of
officers and employees who are senior business management personnel of Third Point LLC. The Committee meets monthly.
The Committee’s role is to review and verify the propriety and consistency of the valuation methodology to determine the
fair value of investments. The Committee also reviews any due diligence performed and approves any changes to current or
potential external pricing vendors.

Investments are carried at fair value. The fair values of investments are estimated using prices obtained from either third-
party pricing services or broker quotes. The methodology for valuation is generally determined based on the investment’s
asset class per the Company’s Investment Manager’s valuation policy. For investments that the Company is unable to obtain
fair values from a pricing service or broker, fair values are estimated using information obtained from the Company’s
Investment Manager.

Securities and commodities listed on a national securities or commodities exchange or quoted on NASDAQ are valued at
their last sales price as of the last business day of the period. Listed securities with no reported sales on such date and over-
the-counter (“OTC”) securities are valued at their last closing bid price if held long by the Company, and last closing ask
price if held short by the Company. As of December 31, 2014, securities valued at $434.4 million (December 31, 2013 -
$483.2 million), representing 23.5% (December 31, 2013 – 33.1%) of investments in securities and commodities and
derivative assets, and $1.3 million (December 31, 2013 - $41.0 million), representing 1.4% (December 31, 2013 – 73.1%) of
securities sold, not yet purchased and derivative liabilities, are valued based on broker quotes or other quoted market prices
for similar securities.

Private securities are not registered for public sale and are carried at an estimated fair value at the end of the period, as
determined by the Company’s Investment Manager. Valuation techniques used by the Company’s Investment Manager may
include market approach, last transaction analysis, liquidation analysis and/or using discounted cash flow models where the
significant inputs could include but are not limited to additional rounds of equity financing, financial metrics such as revenue
multiples or price-earnings ratio, discount rates and other factors. In addition, the Company or the Company’s Investment

F-15

Manager may employ third party valuation firms to conduct separate valuations of such private securities. The third party
valuation firms provide the Company or the Company’s Investment Manager with a written report documenting their
recommended valuation as of the determination date for the specified investments.

As of December 31, 2014, the Company had $2.3 million (December 31, 2013 - $3.3 million) of private securities fair valued
by a third party valuation firm using information obtained from the Company’s Investment Manager. Private securities
represented less than 1% of total investments in securities, commodities and derivative assets. The actual value at which these
securities could actually be sold or settled with a willing buyer or seller may differ from the Company’s estimated fair values
depending on a number of factors including, but not limited to, current and future economic conditions, the quantity sold or
settled, the presence of an active market and the availability of a willing buyer or seller.

The Company’s free standing derivatives are recorded at fair value, and are included in the consolidated balance sheets in
derivative assets and derivative liabilities. The Company values exchange-traded derivatives at their last sales price on the
exchange where it is primarily traded. OTC derivatives, which include swap, option, swaption, forward, future and contract
for differences, are valued by third party sources when available; otherwise, fair values are obtained from broker quotes that
are based on pricing models that consider the time value of money, volatility, and the current market and contractual prices of
the underlying financial instruments.

As an extension of its underwriting activities, the Catastrophe Reinsurer may sell derivative instruments that provide
reinsurance-like protection to third parties for specific loss events associated with certain lines of business. These derivatives
are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value, with changes in the fair value of these derivatives recorded in net
investment income in the consolidated statements of income. These contracts are valued on the basis of models developed by
the Company, which approximates fair value.

During 2014, the Catastrophe Reinsurer purchased a catastrophe bond. This catastrophe bond is recorded in the consolidated
balance sheet at fair value, with changes in the fair value recorded in net investment income in the consolidated statements of
income. This catastrophe bond is valued using quotes from broker-dealers or other market makers.

The Company also has derivatives embedded in non-derivative host contracts that are required to be separated from the host
contracts and accounted for at fair value with changes in fair value of the embedded derivative reported in net investment
income. The Company’s embedded derivatives relate to interest crediting features in certain reinsurance and deposit contracts
that vary based on the returns on our investments managed by Third Point LLC. The Company determines the fair value of
the embedded derivatives using models developed by the Company, which approximates fair value. See discussion of
accounting policy for embedded derivatives in Note 2 for additional information.

The Company’s holdings in asset-backed securities (“ABS”) are substantially invested in residential mortgage-backed
securities (“RMBS”). The balance of the ABS positions was held in commercial mortgage-backed securities, collateralized
debt obligations and student loan asset-backed securities. These investments are valued using broker quotes or a recognised
third-party pricing vendor. All of these classes of ABS are sensitive to changes in interest rates and any resulting change in
the rate at which borrowers sell their properties, refinance, or otherwise pre-pay their loans. As an investor in these classes of
ABS, the Company may be exposed to the credit risk of underlying borrowers not being able to make timely payments on
loans or the likelihood of borrowers defaulting on their loans. In addition, the Company may be exposed to significant market
and liquidity risks.

The Company values its investments in limited partnerships at fair value, which is estimated based on the Company’s share
of the net asset value of the limited partnerships as provided by the investment managers of the underlying investment funds.
The resulting net gains or net losses are reflected in the consolidated statements of income.

On December 18, 2014, we entered into a subscription agreement with the Kiskadee Diversified Fund Ltd. (“Kiskadee
Fund”) to invest up to $25.0 million in Hiscox’s separately managed insurance-linked securities platform, Kiskadee Re Ltd.
The Kiskadee Fund is a fund vehicle managed by Hiscox. The Kiskadee Fund invests in property catastrophe exposures
through collateralized reinsurance transactions and other insurance-linked investments. On January 2, 2015, we funded $5.0
million of this commitment. The remaining $20.0 million commitment is due to be funded on June 1, 2015. This investment
will be recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value, which is estimated based on the Company’s share of the net
asset value in the Kiskadee Fund, as provided by the investment manager. The resulting net gains or net losses are reflected
in the consolidated statements of income.

The Company performs several processes to ascertain the reasonableness of the valuation of all of the Company’s
investments comprising the Company’s investment portfolio, including securities that are categorized as Level 2 and Level 3

F-16

within the fair value hierarchy. These processes include i) obtaining and reviewing weekly and monthly investment portfolio
reports from the Investment Manager, ii) obtaining and reviewing monthly Net Asset Value (“NAV”) and investment return
reports received directly from the Company’s third-party fund administrator, which are compared to the reports noted in (i),
and iii) monthly update discussions with the Company’s Investment Manager regarding the investment portfolio, including,
their process for reviewing and validating pricing obtained from third party service providers.

For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, there were no changes in the valuation techniques as it relates to the
above.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the closing rates of exchange. Transactions
during the period are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of the transaction. The Company does not
isolate that portion of the net investment income resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments, dividends
and interest from the fluctuations arising from changes in fair values of securities and derivatives held. Periodic payments
received or paid on swap agreements are recorded as realized gain or loss on investment transactions. Such fluctuations are
included within net investment income in the consolidated statements of income (loss).

U.S. GAAP disclosure requirements establish a framework for measuring fair value, including a three-level hierarchy for fair
value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. The three-level hierarchy
of inputs is summarized below:

•

Level 1 – Quoted prices available in active markets/exchanges for identical investments as of the reporting date.

Level 2 – Observable inputs to the valuation methodology other than unadjusted quoted market prices for identical
assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 inputs include, but are not limited to, prices quoted for similar assets or
liabilities in active markets/exchanges, prices quoted for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are
not active and fair values determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies.

Level 3 – Pricing inputs unobservable for the investment and include activities where there is little, if any, market
activity for the investment. The inputs applied in the determination of fair value require significant management
judgment and estimation.

Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based
on market data obtained from sources other than those of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the
reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability
developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases,
an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value
measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its
entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the investment.

Key inputs for over-the-counter (“OTC”) valuations vary based on the type of underlying security on which the contract was
written:

•

The key inputs for most OTC option contracts include notional, strike price, maturity, payout structure, current
foreign exchange forward and spot rates, current market price of underlying and volatility of underlying.

The key inputs for most forward contracts include notional, maturity, forward rate, spot rate, various interest rate
curves and discount factor.

The key inputs for swap valuation will vary based on the type of underlying on which the contract was written.
Generally, the key inputs for most swap contracts include notional, swap period, fixed rate, credit or interest rate
curves, current market or spot price of the underlying and the volatility of the underlying.

During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company reclassified $86.6 million of private common equity securities from
Level 2 to Level 1 equity securities. This reclassification is the result of the issuer’s IPO, with quoted prices having become
available in an active market as of the reporting date. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company
made no significant reclassifications of assets or liabilities between Levels 1 and 2.

(1) Total change in realized and unrealized gain (loss) recorded on Level 3 financial instruments are included in net investment income in the consolidated

statements of income (loss).

Total unrealized gains related to fair value assets using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the year ended
December 31, 2014 was $(7.4) million (2013 - $1.0 million and 2012 - $(0.7) million).

For assets and liabilities that were transferred into Level 3 during the period, gains (losses) are presented as if the assets or
liabilities had been transferred into Level 3 at the beginning of the period; similarly, for assets and liabilities that were
transferred out of Level 3 during the year, gains (losses) are presented as if the assets or liabilities had been transferred out of
Level 3 at the beginning of the year. The Company held no Level 3 investments where quantitative unobservable inputs are
produced by the Company itself when estimating fair value.

F-19

Securities purchased under an agreement to sell

The Company may enter into repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements with financial institutions in which the financial
institution agrees to resell or repurchase and the Company agrees to repurchase or resell such securities at a mutually agreed
price upon maturity. As of December 31, 2014, the Company held outstanding reverse repurchase agreements valued at $29.9
million (December 31, 2013 - $38.1 million). As of December 31, 2014, the total value of securities and cash received as
collateral by the Company was $29.6 million (December 31, 2013 - $37.6 million). As the Company held only reverse
repurchase agreements as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, these positions are not impacted by master netting agreements.
Interest expense and income related to these transactions are included in interest payable and receivable in the consolidated
balance sheets. For the year ended December 31, 2014, foreign currency loss of $4.1 million (2013 – gains of $1.9 million
and 2012 - gains of $0.6 million) on reverse repurchase agreements are included in net investment income in the consolidated
statements of income. Generally, reverse repurchase agreements mature within 30 to 90 days.

Due from/to brokers

The Company holds substantially all of its investments through its prime brokers pursuant to agreements between the
Company and each prime broker. The brokerage arrangements differ from broker to broker, but generally cash and
investments in securities and commodities balances are available as collateral against investments in securities sold, not yet
purchased and derivative positions, if required.

Due from/to brokers include cash balances maintained with the Company’s prime brokers, margin debt balances, receivables
and payables from unsettled trades and proceeds from securities sold, not yet purchased. In addition, due from and to brokers
includes cash collateral received and posted from OTC and repurchase agreement counterparties. As of December 31, 2014,
the Company’s due from/to brokers includes a total non-U.S. currency balance of $1.1 million (December 31, 2013 - payable
of $268.5 million).

The Company uses prime brokerage arrangements to provide cash collateral for its letter of credit facilities and to fund trust
accounts securing certain reinsurance contracts. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had $308.8 million of restricted
cash securing letter of credit facilities and certain reinsurance contracts. Margin debt at the brokers primarily relates to
borrowings to fund collateral arrangements. These amounts are callable upon demand by the prime broker, are secured by
assets of the Company held by the prime broker and incur interest based on the Company’s negotiated rates. The interest
expense incurred is reflected in net investment income in the consolidated statements of income.

The Company’s ISDA agreements with its counterparties provide for various termination events including decline in the
NAV of the Company’s investments over a certain period, key man provisions, document delivery schedules, and
Employment Retirement Income Security Act and bankruptcy provisions. Upon the triggering of a termination event, a
counterparty may avail itself of various remedies including, but not limited to, waiver of the termination event, request for
additional collateral, renegotiation of the ISDA agreement, or immediate settlement of positions.

The Company obtains/provides collateral from/to various counterparties for OTC derivative contracts in accordance with
bilateral collateral agreements. As of December 31, 2014, the Company posted collateral in the form of cash of $27.6 million
(December 31, 2013 - $35.4 million) to certain counterparties to cover collateral requirements for open OTC derivatives.

The Company does not offset its derivative instruments and presents all amounts in the consolidated balance sheets on a
gross basis. The Company has pledged cash collateral to counterparties to support the current value of amounts due to the
counterparties based on the value of the underlying security. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the gross and net amounts
of derivative instruments that are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements or similar agreements were as follows:

The $3.6 million decrease in prior years’ reserves for the year ended December 31, 2014 reflects $0.7 million of net favorable
reserve development and $2.9 million resulting from decreases in premium estimates on certain contracts. The changes in
loss and loss adjustment expense reserves related to premium estimate changes were accompanied by similar changes in the
premium earned for those contracts, resulting in minimal impact to net underwriting income in the period.

The $4.7 million decrease in prior years’ reserves for the year ended December 31, 2013 reflects $1.3 million of favorable
loss experience on several contracts and $3.4 million related to decreases in premium estimates, primarily related to one crop
contract. The reduction in loss and loss adjustment expense reserves related to premium estimates was accompanied by an
equal decrease in the premium written and earned for that contract, resulting in a minimal impact to net underwriting income.

The Company started its underwriting activities in 2012, as a result, there were no loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred
or paid in respect of losses occurring in prior years for that period.

Management, performance and founders fees

The Company and Third Point Re are party to a Joint Venture and Investment Management Agreement (the “Investment
Agreement”) with Third Point LLC and Third Point Advisors LLC under which Third Point LLC manages certain jointly
held assets.

Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, Third Point Advisors LLC receives an annual performance fee allocation equal to
20% of the net investment income of the Company’s share of the investment assets managed by Third Point LLC, subject to a
loss carry forward provision. Additionally, a total management fee equal to 2% annually of the Company’s share of the
investment assets managed by Third Point LLC is paid to Third Point LLC and various Founders of the Company.
Management fees are paid monthly, whereas performance fees are paid annually, in arrears.

Investment fee expenses related to the Investment Agreement, which are included in net investment income in the
consolidated statements of income for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 are as follows:

Management fees - Third Point LLC ..............................................................................
Management fees - Founders ..........................................................................................

As of December 31, 2014, $19.9 million (December 31, 2013 - $63.0 million) was included in non-controlling interests
related to the performance fee payable to Third Point Advisors LLC. Since the performance fee allocation is based on annual
performance, the performance fees are included in total liabilities until the performance fee is determined at year end and
allocated to Third Point Advisors LLC’s capital account, in accordance with the Investment Agreement.

Deposit contracts

Deposit liability contracts each contain a fixed interest crediting rate. Certain deposit contracts also contain a variable interest
crediting feature based on actual investment returns realized by the Company that can increase the overall effective interest
crediting rate on those contracts. These variable interest crediting features are considered embedded derivatives. We include
the estimated fair value of these embedded derivatives with the host deposit liability contracts. Changes in the estimated fair
value of these embedded derivatives are recorded in other expenses in the consolidated statements of income.

The following table represents activity in the deposit liabilities for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012:

Share Capital

Authorized and issued

The Company’s authorized share capital of $33.0 million is comprised of 300,000,000 common shares with a par value of
$0.10 each and 30,000,000 preference shares with a par value of $0.10 each. As of December 31, 2014, 104,473,402 common
shares were issued and outstanding. No preference shares have been issued to date.

On August 20, 2013, the Company completed an IPO of 24,832,484 common shares at a purchase price of $12.50 per share.
The net proceeds of the offering were $286.0 million, after deducting offering costs.

Warrants

The Company’s Founders and an advisor provided insurance industry expertise, resources and relationships to ensure that the
Company would be fully operational with key management in place in time for the January 2012 underwriting season. In
consideration of these commitments, the Company reserved for issuance to the Founders and an advisor warrants to purchase,
in the aggregate, up to 4.0% (Founders 3.5% and an advisor 0.5%) of the diluted shares (up to a maximum of $1 billion of
subscribed shares) provided that the Founders and the advisor will not be issued any warrants for common shares issued in
consideration for any capital raised by the Company in excess of $1 billion. The following is a summary of warrants as of
December 31, 2014:

The warrants were subject to a performance condition that was met as a result of the IPO. Prior to the IPO, 3,648,006 of the
warrants were considered exercisable. After the IPO, the remaining 1,003,157 warrants met the performance condition. These
amounts have been recorded as a component of capital raise costs in additional paid in capital resulting in no net impact to
total shareholders’ equity.

The warrants expire 10 years from the date of issuance, December 22, 2011, and will be exercisable at a price per share of
$10.00, which is equal to the price per share paid by investors in the initial private offering.

Share-based compensation

On July 15, 2013, the Third Point Reinsurance Ltd. 2103 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“Omnibus Plan”) was approved by the
Board of Directors and subsequently on August 2, 2013 by the Shareholders of the Company. An aggregate of 21,627,906
common shares were made available under the Omnibus Plan. This number of shares includes the shares available under the
Third Point Reinsurance Limited Share Incentive Plan (“Share Incentive Plan”). Awards under the Omnibus Plan may be
made in the form of performance awards, restricted shares, restricted share units, share options, share appreciation rights and
other share-based awards.

As of December 31, 2014, 10,052,579 (December 31, 2013 - 10,613,975) of the Company’s common shares were available
for future issuance under the equity incentive compensation plans.

Management and director options

The management options issued under the Share Incentive Plan were subject to a service and performance condition. The
service condition will be met with respect to 20% of the management options on each of the first five anniversary dates
following the grant date of the management options. The performance condition with respect to the management options was
met as a result of the IPO. Prior to the IPO, 8,572,594 of the management options were considered exercisable subject to the
service condition. After the IPO, the remaining 2,357,633 management options had met the performance condition.

The director options contain only a service condition that will be met with respect to 20% of the director options on each of
the five anniversary dates following the grant date of the director options. On November 6, 2013, the director options were
modified so that a total of 60% of the outstanding options vested on that date and the remaining 40% of the director options
were forfeited. These forfeited options were replaced with restricted share awards.

The management and director options activity for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 were as follows:

The fair value of share options issued were estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The
share price used for purposes of determining the fair value of share options that were granted in the year ended December 31,
2014 was $15.05 (2013 - $10.89 and 2012 - $10.00). The volatility assumption used of 23.1% (2013 - 21.95% and 2012 -
31.25% ) was based on the average estimated volatility of a reinsurance company peer group. The other assumptions used in
the option-pricing model were as follows: risk free interest rate of 2.2% (2013 - 1.23% and 2012 - 1.9%), expected life of 6.5
years (2013 - 6.5 years and 2012 - 10.0 years) and a 0.0% dividend yield (2013 - 0.0% and 2012 - 0.0%). As of December 31,
2014, the weighted average remaining contractual term for options outstanding was 7.1 years (2013 - 8.1 years).

Restricted shares with service and performance condition

In December 2014, the Company granted performance-based restricted shares to employees pursuant to the Omnibus Plan
where vesting of the awards is subject to both a service and performance condition. The vesting date for these awards is
March 1, 2017 and will be based on a formula applied to the cumulative calendar year results for the 2014 to 2016 calendar
years. The formula for determining the amount of shares that will vest is based on underwriting performance of the property
and casualty reinsurance segment including underwriting income and the amount of float generated, as defined.

For the year ended December 31, 2014, 459,746 performance-based restricted shares had been granted at a grant date fair
value of $14.60 of which 306,496 were considered probable of vesting.

Financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk or concentrations of credit risk

Off-balance sheet risk

In the normal course of business, the Company trades various financial instruments and engages in various investment
activities with off-balance sheet risk. These financial instruments include securities sold, not yet purchased, forwards, futures,
options, swaptions, swaps and contracts for differences. Generally, these financial instruments represent future commitments
to purchase or sell other financial instruments at specific terms at specified future dates. Each of these financial instruments
contains varying degrees of off-balance sheet risk whereby changes in the fair values of the securities underlying the financial
instruments or fluctuations in interest rates and index values may exceed the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance
sheets.

Securities sold, not yet purchased are recorded as liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets and have market risk to the
extent that the Company, in satisfying its obligations, may be required to purchase securities at a higher value than that
recorded in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s investments in securities and commodities and amounts due
from brokers are partially restricted until the Company satisfies the obligation to deliver securities sold, not yet purchased.

Forward and futures contracts are a commitment to purchase or sell financial instruments, currencies or commodities at a
future date at a negotiated rate. Forward and futures contracts expose the Company to market risks to the extent that adverse
changes occur to the underlying financial instruments such as currency rates or equity index fluctuations.

Option contracts give the purchaser the right, but not the obligation, to purchase from or sell to the option writer financial
instruments, commodities or currencies within a defined time period for a specified price. The premium received by the
Company upon writing an option contract is recorded as a liability, marked to market on a daily basis and is included in
securities sold, not yet purchased in the consolidated balance sheets. In writing an option, the Company bears the market risk
of an unfavorable change in the financial instrument underlying the written option. Exercise of an option written by the
Company could result in the Company selling or buying a financial instrument at a price different from the current fair value.

In the normal course of trading activities in its investment portfolio, the Company trades and holds certain derivative
contracts, such as written options, which constitute guarantees. The maximum payout for written put options is limited to the
number of contracts written and the related strike prices and the maximum payout for written call options is dependent upon
the market price of the underlying security at the date of a payout event. As of December 31, 2014, the investment portfolio
had a maximum payout amount of approximately $666.9 million (December 31, 2013 - $689.5 million) relating to written put
option contracts with expiration ranging from one month to 10 months from the balance sheet date. The maximum payout
amount could be offset by the subsequent sale, if any, of assets obtained via the settlement of a payout event. The fair value
of these written put options as of December 31, 2014 is $4.5 million (December 31, 2013 - $2.6 million) and is included in
securities sold, not yet purchased in the consolidated balance sheets.

Swaption contracts give the Company the right, but not the obligation, to enter into a specified interest-rate swap within a
specified period of time. The Company’s market and counterparty credit risk is limited to the premium paid to enter into the
swaption contract and net unrealized gains.

F-34

Total return swaps, contracts for differences, index swaps, and interest rate swaps that involve the exchange of cash flows
between the Company and counterparties are based on the change in the fair value of a particular equity, index, or interest
rate on a specified notional holding. The use of these contracts exposes the Company to market risks equivalent to actually
holding securities of the notional value but typically involve little capital commitment relative to the exposure achieved. The
gains or losses of the Company may therefore be magnified on the capital commitment.

Credit derivatives

Credit default swaps protect the buyer against the loss of principal on one or more underlying bonds, loans, or mortgages in
the event the issuer suffers a credit event. Typical credit events include failure to pay or restructuring of obligations,
bankruptcy, dissolution or insolvency of the underlying issuer. The buyer of the protection pays an initial and/or a periodic
premium to the seller and receives protection for the period of the contract. If there is not a credit event, as defined in the
contract, the buyer receives no payments from the seller. If there is a credit event, the buyer receives a payment from the
seller of protection as calculated by the contract between the two parties.

The Company may also enter into index and/or basket credit default swaps where the credit derivative may reference a basket
of single-name credit default swaps or a broad-based index. Generally, in the event of a default on one of the underlying
names, the buyer will receive a pro-rata portion of the total notional amount of the credit default index or basket contract
from the seller. When the Company purchases single-name, index and basket credit default swaps, the Company is exposed
to counterparty nonperformance.

Upon selling credit default swap protection, the Company may expose itself to the risk of loss from related credit events
specified in the contract. Credit spreads of the underlying together with the period of expiration is indicative of the likelihood
of a credit event under the credit default swap contract and the Company’s risk of loss. Higher credit spreads and shorter
expiration dates are indicative of a higher likelihood of a credit event resulting in the Company’s payment to the buyer of
protection. Lower credit spreads and longer expiration dates would indicate the opposite and lowers the likelihood the
Company needs to pay the buyer of protection. As of December 31, 2014, there was no cash collateral received specifically
related to written credit default swaps as collateral is based on the net exposure associated with all derivative instruments
subject to applicable netting agreements with counterparties and may not be specific to any individual derivative contract.

The following table sets forth certain information related to the Company’s written credit derivatives as of December 31,

major securities firms. The Company had substantially all such individual counterparty concentration with these brokers or

their affiliates as of December 31, 2014. However, the Company reduces its credit risk with counterparties by entering into
master netting agreements. Therefore, assets represent the Company’s greater unrealized gains less unrealized losses for
derivative contracts in which the Company has master netting agreements. Similarly, liabilities represent the Company’s
greater unrealized losses less unrealized gains for derivative contracts in which the Joint Venture has master netting
agreements. Furthermore, the Company obtains collateral from counterparties to reduce its exposure to counterparty credit
risk.

The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk associated with counterparty nonperformance on derivative contracts is
limited to the net unrealized gains by counterparty inherent in such contracts which are recognised in the consolidated
balance sheets. As of December 31, 2014, the Company’s maximum counterparty credit risk exposure was $9.7 million
(December 31, 2013 - $19.0 million).

As of December 31, 2014, $218.5 million (December 31, 2013 - $127.3 million) of letters of credit, representing 54.6% of
the total available facilities, had been drawn upon (December 31, 2013 – 42.4% (based on total available facilities of $300
million)).

Under the facilities, the Company provides collateral that may consist of equity securities, repurchase agreements and cash
and cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2014, cash and cash equivalents with a fair value of $219.0 million (December 31,
2013 - $100.6 million) were pledged as security against the letters of credit issued. These amounts are included in restricted
cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated balance sheets. Each of the facilities contain customary events of default and
restrictive covenants, including but not limited to, limitations on liens on collateral, transactions with affiliates, mergers and
sales of assets, as well as solvency and maintenance of certain minimum pledged equity requirements, A.M. Best Company
rating of “A-” or higher, and restricts issuance of any debt without the consent of the letter of credit provider. Additionally, if
an event of default exists, as defined in the letter of credit facilities, the Company will be prohibited from paying dividends.
The Company was in compliance with all of the covenants as of December 31, 2014.

Investments

Loan and other participation interests purchased by the Company, such as bank debt, may include revolving credit
arrangements or other financing commitments obligating the Company to advance additional amounts on demand. As of
December 31, 2014, the Company had one unfunded capital commitment of $4.2 million related to its investment in the
Hellenic Fund (see Note 17 for additional information).

In the normal course of business, the Company, as part of its investment strategy, enters into contracts that contain a variety
of indemnifications and warranties. The Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would
involve future claims that may be made against the Company that have not yet occurred. However, the Company has not had
prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote. Thus, no amounts have been
accrued related to such indemnifications. The Company also indemnifies Third Point Advisors LLC, Third Point LLC and its
employees from and against any loss or expense, including, without limitation any judgment, settlement, legal fees and other
costs. Any expenses related to this indemnification are reflected in net investment income in the consolidated statements of
income.

See Note 19 for information regarding investment commitment to Kiskadee Fund.

Litigation

From time to time in the normal course of business, the Company may be involved in formal and informal dispute resolution
procedures, which may include arbitration or litigation, the outcomes of which determine the rights and obligations under the
Company’s reinsurance contracts and other contractual agreements. In some disputes, the Company may seek to enforce its
rights under an agreement or to collect funds owing to it. In other matters, the Company may resist attempts by others to
collect funds or enforce alleged rights. While the final outcome of legal disputes that may arise cannot be predicted with
certainty, the Company is not currently involved in any formal or informal dispute resolution procedures.

22.

Segment reporting

The determination of the Company’s business segments is based on the manner in which management monitors the
performance of its operations. The Company reports two operating segments – Property and Casualty Reinsurance and
Catastrophe Risk Management. The Company has also identified a corporate function that includes the Company’s
investment results and certain general and administrative expenses related to corporate activities.

Effective January 1, 2014, the Company modified the presentation of its operating segments to allocate net investment
income from float to the property and casualty reinsurance segment. The property and casualty reinsurance operations
generate excess cash flows, or float, which the Company tracks in managing the business. The Company considers net
investment income on float in evaluating the overall contribution of the property and casualty reinsurance segment. Prior
period segment results have been adjusted to conform to this presentation.

The following is a summary of the Company’s operating segments results for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and
2012:

For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, statutory net income was $56.7 million, $230.0 million and $101.3
million, respectively.

Under the Bermuda Insurance Act, 1978 and related regulations, Third Point Re is subject to capital requirements calculated
using the Bermuda Solvency and Capital Requirement, or BSCR model, which is a standardized statutory risk-based capital
model used to measure the risk associated with Third Point Re’s assets, liabilities and premiums. Third Point Re’s required
statutory capital and surplus under the BSCR model is referred to as the enhanced capital requirement, or ECR. Third Point
Re is required to calculate and submit the ECR to the Bermuda Monetary Authority, or the BMA, annually. Following receipt
of the submission of Third Point Re’s ECR the BMA has the authority to impose additional capital requirements (capital add-
ons) if it deems necessary. If a company fails to maintain or meet its ECR, the BMA may take various degrees of regulatory
action. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, Third Point Re met its ECR.

The principal difference between statutory capital and surplus and shareholder’s equity presented in accordance with GAAP
is deferred acquisition costs and prepaid expenses, which are non-admitted assets for statutory purposes.

Third Point Re is also required under its Class 4 license to maintain a minimum liquidity ratio whereby the value of its
relevant assets is not less than 75% of the amount of its relevant liabilities for general business. As of December 31, 2014 and
2013, Third Point Re met the minimum liquidity ratio requirement.

Third Point Re may declare dividends subject to it continuing to meet its solvency and capital requirements, which includes
continuing to hold statutory capital and surplus equal to or exceeding its ECR. Third Point Re is prohibited from declaring or
paying in any fiscal year dividends of more than 25% of its prior year’s statutory capital and surplus unless Third Point Re
files with the BMA a signed affidavit by at least two members of the Board of Directors attesting that a dividend would not
cause the company to fail to meet its relevant margins. As of December 31, 2014, Third Point Re could pay dividends in
2015 of approximately $324.0 million (2013 - $325.9 million) without providing an affidavit to the BMA. On February 26,
2015, Third Point Re declared a dividend of $158.0 million to Third Point Reinsurance Ltd.

Subsequent events

On January 5, 2015, the shareholders agreement between Third Point Re, Hiscox, and the Catastrophe Fund Manager was
terminated by agreement of the parties that the Catastrophe Fund Manager would repurchase for cancellation Hiscox’s
common shares, representing 15%, of the Catastrophe Fund Manager.

On February 13, 2015, TPRUSA issued $115.0 million of senior unsecured notes (the “Notes”) due February 13, 2025. The
Notes bear interest at 7.00% and interest is payable semi-annually on February 13 and August 13 of each year, beginning
August 13, 2015. The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Third Point Reinsurance Ltd., and, in certain
circumstances specified in the indenture governing the Notes, certain existing or future subsidiaries of the Company may be
required to guarantee the Notes, as described in the indenture governing the Notes.

On February 26, 2015, Third Point Re declared a dividend of $158.0 million to Third Point Reinsurance Ltd. This dividend
was ultimately used to capitalize Third Point Re USA. In February 2015, the Company completed the capitalization of Third
Point Re USA with a total of $265.0 million.

On February 26, 2015, we entered into a letter of credit facility with Lloyds Bank for $150.0 million.
