Ownership:
(a)    Amount beneficially owned by each Reporting Person:
(i) Arch Capital Group Ltd.    3,475,503*
    (ii) Arch Reinsurance Ltd.    3,475,503*
*As of the date hereof, the amount beneficially owned by each Reporting Person includes 2,500,000 Common Shares directly owned by Arch Reinsurance Ltd. and warrants to purchase 975,503 Common Shares directly held by Arch Reinsurance Ltd. Such warrants are exercisable until March 31, 2020.

(b)    Percent of class:

    (i) Arch Capital Group Ltd.    16.6%**
    (ii) Arch Reinsurance Ltd.    16.6%**
**This percentage is calculated based on 19,902,895 Common Shares issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2019, increased by warrants to purchase 975,503 Common Shares held by Arch Reinsurance Ltd. The exercise price of the warrants is determined on the date of exercise so that, if all such warrants then outstanding were exercised in full on such exercise date in respect of the common shares then subject to such warrants, initial holders who purchased common shares in the issuer's original private placement would achieve a 15% target return (including dilution from such warrants and excluding dilution from start-up expenses related to the issuer's formation and original private placement or any warrants the issuer may issue in the future) from March 25, 2014, the initial closing of the issuer's original private placement, through the date of such exercise, based on the $40.00 initial purchase price per common share paid by such initial holders and the market value of the common shares that would be necessary for the initial holders to achieve such target return if the initial holders disposed of their common shares on the date of such exercise. As of the December 31, 2019 the exercise price was $89.63 per share.
