MAIDEN HOLDINGS, LTD.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
(in thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and per share data)


1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Maiden Holdings, Ltd. ("MaidenParent Company" or "Maiden Holdings") and its subsidiaries (the "Company" or "Maiden"). They have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X as promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.
These interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative, if annualized, of those to be expected for the full year. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, including these notes, should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes thereto, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.2020. Certain prior year comparatives have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. The effect of these reclassifications had no impact on previously reported shareholders' equity or net loss.income.
Strategic ReviewAs a result of a series of strategic actions the Company has taken in recent years as discussed below, we create shareholder value by actively managing and allocating our assets and capital, including through ownership and management of businesses and assets mostly in the insurance and related financial services industries where we can leverage our deep knowledge of those markets. We also provide a full range of legacy services to small insurance companies, particularly those in run-off or with blocks of reserves that are no longer core, working with clients to develop and implement finality solutions including acquiring entire companies. We expect our legacy solutions business to contribute to our active asset and capital management strategies.
Short-term income protection business is written on a primary basis by our wholly owned subsidiaries Maiden Life Försäkrings AB ("Maiden LF") and Maiden General Försäkrings AB ("Maiden GF") in the Scandinavian and Northern European markets. Insurance support services are provided to Maiden LF and Maiden GF by our services company, Maiden Global Holdings Ltd. (“Maiden Global”), which is also a licensed intermediary in the United Kingdom. Maiden Global had previously operated internationally by providing branded auto and credit life insurance products through insurer partners, particularly those in the European Union ("EU") and other global markets. These products also produced reinsurance programs which were underwritten by our wholly owned subsidiary Maiden Reinsurance Ltd. (“Maiden Reinsurance”).
The Company is not actively underwriting reinsurance business but has some historic reinsurance programs underwritten by Maiden Reinsurance which are in run-off. The Company continues to run-off the liabilities associated with AmTrust Financial Services, Inc. ("AmTrust") reinsurance agreements which were terminated in 2019 as discussed in "Note 10 - Related Party Transactions". We have a retroactive reinsurance agreement and a commutation agreement that further reduces our exposure and limits the potential volatility related to these AmTrust liabilities, which are discussed in "Note 8 - Reinsurance".
Since 2018, the Company has engaged in a series of strategic measures that have dramatically reduced the regulatory capital required to operate our business, materially strengthened our solvency ratios, re-domiciled Maiden Reinsurance Ltd. ("Maiden Reinsurance")from Bermuda to the State of Vermont in the U.S. and ceased active reinsurance underwriting. During that time, we significantly increasedThese transactions can be found in Part II of our estimate of ultimate losses and loss reserves while purchasing reinsurance protection against further loss reserve volatility and as a result, have improvedAnnual Report on Form 10-K for the ultimate economic value of the Company. We believe these measures have given the Company the ability to more flexibly allocate capital to those activities most likely to produce the greatest returns for shareholders.
The measures we ultimately have taken were initiated in early 2018, when our Board of Directors initiated a review of strategic alternatives ("Strategic Review") to evaluate ways to increase shareholder value after a period of continuing higher than targeted combined ratios and lower returns on equity than expected.
As part of the Strategic Review, a series of transactions were entered into including: (1) completed the sale of Maiden Reinsurance North America, Inc. ("Maiden US") on December 27, 2018; (2) Maiden Reinsurance's shareholders, Maiden Holdings and Maiden Holdings North America, Ltd. ("Maiden NA"), made capital injections of $125,000 onyear ended December 31, 20182020 that was filed with the SEC on March 15, 2021 and $70,000 on January 18, 2019 to Maiden Reinsurance from the sale proceeds of Maiden US; (3) entered into a partial termination amendment ("Partial Termination Amendment") with AmTrust Financial Services, Inc. ("AmTrust") effective January 1, 2019 which amended the quota share reinsurance agreement (“AmTrust Quota Share”) between Maiden Reinsurance and AmTrust’s wholly owned subsidiary AmTrust International Insurance, Ltd. (“AII”) (asare more fully described (as applicable) in"Note 8 - Reinsurance" and "Note 10 - Related Party Transactions"); (4) entered into amendments which terminated the AmTrust Quota Share and the European hospital liability Quota Share Reinsurance Contract (“European Hospital Liability Quota Share”) with AmTrust’s wholly owned subsidiaries AmTrust Europe Limited ("AEL") and AmTrust International Underwriters DAC ("AIU DAC") effective January 1, 2019 (these transactions are broadly referred to herein as the "Final AmTrust QS Terminations"); (5) entered into the Loss Portfolio Transfer and Adverse Development Cover Agreement ("LPT/ADC Agreement") with Enstar Group Limited ("Enstar") pursuant to the revised Master Transaction Agreement entered into on March 1, 2019; and (6) entered into a Commutation and Release Agreement with AmTrust to commute certain workers' compensation business with AII as of January 1, 2019. in these financial statements.
Please see the Company's audited Consolidated Financial Statements, and related notes thereto, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20192020 for further details on the above transactions.
Discontinued Operations
The Company made the strategic decision to divest its U.S. treaty reinsurance operations through the sale of Maiden US which was completed on December 27, 2018. Except as explicitly described as discontinued operations, and unless otherwise noted, all discussions and amounts presented herein relate to the Company's continuing operations except for net income (loss).
Re-domestication of Maiden Reinsurance
Effective March 16, 2020, we re-domesticated our principal operating subsidiary, Maiden Reinsurance, from Bermuda to the State of Vermont in the United States,U.S., having made the necessary filings in both Vermont and Bermuda in the fourth quarter of 2019 and first quarter of 2020. Maiden Reinsurance is now subject to the statutes and regulations of Vermont in the ordinary course of business. We have determined that re-domesticating Maiden Reinsurance to Vermont enables us to better align our capital and resources with our liabilities, which originate mostly in the United States,U.S., resulting in a more efficient structure. Maiden Reinsurance is now subject to the statutes and regulations of Vermont in the ordinary course of business. The re-domestication, in combination with the transactionsother strategic measures described above that were completed pursuant to the Strategic Review,in 2019, will continue to strengthen the Company’s capital position and solvency ratios.
While the Vermont Department of Financial Regulation ("Vermont DFR") will beis now the group supervisor for the Company, the re-domestication did not apply to the parent holding companyParent Company which remains a Bermuda-based holding company. Securities issued by Maiden Holdings were not affected by the re-domestication of Maiden Reinsurance to Vermont. Concurrent with its re-domestication to Vermont on March 16, 2020, Maiden Holdings contributed as capital the remaining 65% of its ownership in Maiden Reinsurance to Maiden NA.Holdings North America, Ltd. ("Maiden NA"). Maiden NA now owns 100% of Maiden Reinsurance.Reinsurance in the aggregate.

1. Basis of Presentation (continued)
Segments
As a result of the strategic decision to divest all of the Company's U.S. treaty reinsurance operations noted above, the Company revised the composition of its reportable segments. As described in more detail under “Note 3. Segment Information”, the reportable segments include: (i) Diversified Reinsurance which consists of a portfolio of property and casualty reinsurance business focusing on regional and specialty property and casualty insurance companies located primarily in Europe; and (ii) AmTrust Reinsurance which includes all business ceded to Maiden Reinsurance from subsidiaries of AmTrust. In addition to these reportable segments, the results of operations of the former National General Holdings Corporation Quota Share ("NGHC Quota Share") segment, which was commuted in November 2019, was previously included in the "Other" category.

COVID-19 Pandemic
The continuing COVID-19 global pandemic has caused significant disruption to the economy and financial markets globally, and the full extent of the potential impacts of COVID-19 are not yet known. Circumstances caused by the COVID-19 pandemic are complex, uncertain and rapidly evolving. Our results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity and capital resources may have been adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the future impact of the pandemic on our financial condition or results of operations is difficult to predict.
As described herein, the Company is not currentlypresently engaged in active reinsurance underwriting and is running off the remaining unearned exposures it has reinsured. Maiden Global Holdings, Ltd.’s business development teams partner with automobile manufacturers, dealer associationsThe Company's Swedish and local primary insurers to design and implement point of saleUK insurance programs which generate revenue for the auto manufacturer and insurance premiums for the primary insureroperations ("IIS unit"). The Company's IIS unit does do write limited primary insurance coverages that could be exposed to COVID-19 claims.  While we assess our exposure to COVID-19 insurance and reinsurance claims on our existing insurance exposures and remaining reinsurance exposures as limited and immaterial, given the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the insurance industry, our preliminary estimates of lossesloss and loss adjustment expenses ("loss and LAE") and estimates of reinsurance recoverable arising from the COVID-19 pandemic may materially change. Maiden Reinsurance has not received any COVID-19 claims to date but our companies within our IIS unit have received a limited number of claims related to those coverages which it deems as immaterial. Unanticipated issues relating to claims and coverage may emerge, which could adversely affect our business by increasing the scope of coverage beyond our intent and/or increasing the frequency and severity of claims.
The Company's investment portfolio may be adversely impacted by unfavorable market conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Company and its reinsurance subsidiaries may need additional capital to maintain compliance with regulatory capital requirements and/or be required to post additional collateral under existing reinsurance arrangements, which could reduce our liquidity. In addition, the Company may experience continued volatility in its results of operations which could negatively impact its financial condition and create a reduction in the amount of available distribution or dividend capacity from its regulated reinsurance subsidiaries, which would also reduce liquidity.

2. Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes to the significant accounting policies as described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20192020 except for the following:
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Updates
Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement
In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2018-13 ("ASU 2018-13") for changes to the disclosure framework related to Topic 820 which amends the disclosure requirements for fair value measurement. The following disclosure requirements were removed from Topic 820: (i) amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, (ii) policy for timing of transfers between levels, and (iii) valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. The amendments clarify that the measurement uncertainty disclosure is to communicate information about the uncertainty in measurement as of the reporting date. The following disclosure requirements were added to Topic 820: (i) changes in unrealized gains and lossesNo new accounting standards have been recently adopted for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period; and (ii) range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. For certain unobservable inputs, an entity may disclose other quantitative information (such as the median or arithmetic average) in lieu of the weighted average if the entity determines that other quantitative information would be a more reasonable and rational method to reflect the distribution of unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements.
The amendments in ASU 2018-13 are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. Early adoption is permitted upon issuance of ASU 2018-13. An entity is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of ASU 2018-13 and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. These amendments only impact disclosures made in "Note 5. Fair Value Measurements" therefore, the adoption of this standard on January 1, 2020 did not impact the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, results of operations or cash flows.six months ended June 30, 2021.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
Accounting for Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
In June 2016, the FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASUAccounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13 "Financial Instruments: Credit Losses (Topic 326)" replacing the "incurred loss" impairment methodology with an approach based on "expected losses" to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The guidance requires financial assets to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the cost of the financial asset to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. ASU 2016-13 also modified the accounting for available-for-sale ("AFS") debt securities, which must be individually assessed for credit losses when fair value is less than the amortized cost basis, in accordance with Subtopic 326-30, Financial Instruments: Credit Losses Available-for-Sale Debt Securities. Credit losses relating to AFS debt securities will be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than under the current other-than-temporarily impaired ("OTTI") methodology.
In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04 for targeted improvements related to ASU 2016-13 which clarify that an entity should include all expected recoveries in its estimate of the allowance for credit losses. In addition, for collateral dependent financial assets, the amendments mandate that an allowance for credit losses that is added to the amortized cost basis of the financial asset should not exceed amounts previously written off. It also clarifies FASB’s intent to include all reinsurance recoverables within the scope of Topic 944 to be within the scope of Subtopic 326-20, regardless of the measurement basis of those recoverables. The Company's reinsurance balances receivable and reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses are itsis currently the most significant financial assetsasset within the scope of ASU 2016-13.
The guidance is effective for public business entities, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies ("SRCs") as defined by the SEC, for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods therein. The guidance is effective for all other entities, including public entities eligible to be SRCs, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. As of December 31, 2019,June 30, 2021, the Company qualified for SRC status, as determined on the last business day of its most recent second quarter, and is thus eligible to follow the reporting deadlines and effective dates applicable to SRCs. Therefore Topic 326 will not be effective until the 2023 fiscal year.year 2023. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of this guidance on its results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.

3. Segment Information
The Company currently has 2 reportable segments: Diversified Reinsurance and AmTrust Reinsurance. Our Diversified Reinsurance segment consists of a portfolio of predominantly property and casualty reinsurance business focusing on regional and specialty property and casualty insurance companies located primarily in Europe. Our AmTrust Reinsurance segment includes all business ceded to Maiden Reinsurance by AmTrust, primarily the quota share reinsurance agreement (“AmTrust Quota ShareShare”) between Maiden Reinsurance and AmTrust’s wholly owned subsidiary, AmTrust International Insurance, Ltd. (“AII”) and the European hospital liability quota share reinsurance contract ("European Hospital Liability Quota Share,Share") with AmTrust’s wholly owned subsidiaries, AmTrust Europe Limited ("AEL") and AmTrust International Underwriters DAC ("AIU DAC"), which are both in run-off effective January 1, 2019. In addition to our reportable segments, the results of operations of the former NGHC Quota Share segment which was commuted in November 2019 and the remnants of our retroceded U.S. treaty business have been included in the "Other" category. Please refer to "Note 10. Related Party Transactions" for additional information.information regarding the AmTrust Reinsurance segment.
The Company evaluates segment performance based on segment profit separately from the results of our investment portfolio. General and administrative expenses are allocated to the segments on an actual basis except salaries and benefits where management’s judgment is applied; however general corporate expenses are not allocated to the segments. In determining total assets by reportable segment, the Company identifies those assets that are attributable to a particular segment such as reinsurance balances receivable, reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses, deferred commission and other acquisition expenses, funds withheld receivable, loan to related party and restricted cash and investments. All remaining assets are allocated to Corporate.
As discussed in "Note 1. Basis of Presentation" and "Note 10. Related Party Transactions", the Partial Termination Amendment and the termination of the remaining business with AmTrust effective January 1, 2019 resulted in a significant reduction in gross premiums written. This was due to the return of unearned premium on certain lines covered by the Partial Termination Amendment, with no new business written since 2018 as a result of the termination of the AmTrust Quota Share and the European Hospital Liability Quota Share. The following tables summarize the underwriting results of our reportable segments and the reconciliation of our reportable segments and Other category'ssegments' underwriting results to consolidated net income (loss) from continuing operations:income:

Other-than-temporarily impaired
The Company performs quarterly reviews of its fixed maturities in order to determine whether declines in fair value below the amortized cost basis were considered other-than-temporary in accordance with applicable guidance. At June 30, 2020,2021, we determined that unrealized losses on fixed maturities were primarily due to changes in interest rates as well as the impact of foreign exchange rate changes on certain foreign currency denominated fixed maturities since their date of purchase. All fixed maturity securities continue to pay the expected coupon payments under the contractual terms of the securities. Any credit-related impairment related to fixed maturity securities that the Company does not plan to sell and for which the Company iswe are not more likely than not to be required to sell is recognized in net earnings, with the non-credit related impairment recognized in comprehensive earnings.
Based on our analysis, our fixed maturity portfolio is of high credit quality and we believe the amortized cost basis of the securities will ultimately be recovered. The Company continually monitors the credit quality of the fixed maturity investments to assess if it is probable that it will receive contractual or estimated cash flows in the form of principal and interest. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recognized $1,506 ofin OTTI charges were recognized in earnings on 2 fixed maturity securities. There were no OTTI losses recognized in the three months ended June 30, 2020 and inwas 0 impairment recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.2021 and the three months ended June 30, 2020.

5. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
(a) Fair Values of Financial Instruments
Fair Value Measurements — Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" ("ASC 820") defines fair value as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between open market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, ASC 820 establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs:

Level 1 — Valuations based on unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access. Because valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these products does not entail a significant degree of judgment. Examples of assets and liabilities utilizing Level 1 inputs as follows:include: U.S. Treasury bonds;
Level 1 — Valuations based on unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access. Because valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these products does not entail a significant degree of judgment. Examples of assets and liabilities utilizing Level 1 inputs include: U.S. Treasury bonds;
Level 2 — Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or valuations based on models where the significant inputs are observable (e.g. interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, default rates, loss severities, etc.) or can be corroborated by observable market data. Examples of assets and liabilities utilizing Level 2 inputs include: U.S. government-sponsored agency securities; non-U.S. government and supranational obligations; commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS"); collateralized loan obligations ("CLO"); corporate and municipal bonds; and
Level 3 — Valuations based on models where significant inputs are not observable. The unobservable inputs reflect our own assumptions about assumptions that market participants would use.

Level 3 — Valuations based on models where significant inputs are not observable. The unobservable inputs reflect our own assumptions about assumptions that market participants would use developed on the basis of the best information available in the particular circumstances. Examples of assets and liabilities utilizing Level 3 inputs include: an investment in preference shares of a start-up insurance producer.
The availability of observable inputs can vary and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of financial instrument, whether the financial instrument is new and not yet established in the marketplace, and other characteristics particular to the transaction. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires significantly more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by management in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in the Level 3. We use3 hierarchy.
The Company uses prices and inputs that are current as at the measurement date. In periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many instruments. This condition could cause an instrument to be reclassified between hierarchy levels.
For investments that have quoted market prices in active markets, the Company uses the quoted market prices as fair value and includes these in the Level 1 hierarchy. The Company receives the quoted market prices from a third party nationally recognized provider ("the Pricing Service"). When quoted market prices are unavailable, the Company utilizes the Pricing Service to determine an estimate of fair value. The fair value estimates are included in the Level 2 hierarchy. The Company will challenge any prices for its investments which are considered not to be representative of fair value.
If quoted market prices and an estimate from the Pricing Service are unavailable, the Company produces an estimate of fair value based on dealer quotations for recent activity in positions with the same or similar characteristics to that being valued. The Company determines whether the fair value estimate

is in the Level 2 or Level 3 hierarchy depending on the level of observable inputs available when estimating the fair value. The Company bases its estimates of fair values for assets on the bid price as it represents what a third party market participant would be willing to pay in an orderly transaction.
ASC 825, "Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments", requires all entities to disclose the fair value of their financial instruments bothfor assets and liabilities recognized and not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. The following describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to determine the fair value of financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis held at June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019.2020.
U.S. government and U.S. agency — Bonds issued by the U.S. Treasury, the Federal Home Loan Bank, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, Government National Mortgage Association, Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Farm Credit Banks Funding Corporation. The fair values of U.S. treasury bonds are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and are included in the Level 1 fair value hierarchy. We believe the market for U.S. treasury bonds is an actively traded market given the high level of daily trading volume. The fair values of U.S. agency bonds are determined using the spread above the risk-free yield curve. As the yields for the risk-free yield curve and the spreads for these securities are observable market inputs, the fair values of U.S. agency bonds are included in the Level 2 fair value hierarchy.
Non-U.S. government and supranational bonds — These securities are generally priced by independent pricing services. The Pricing Service may use current market trades for securities with similar quality, maturity and coupon. If no such trades are available, the Pricing Service typically uses analytical models which may incorporate spreads, interest rate data and market/sector news. As the significant inputs used to price non-U.S. government and supranational bonds are observable market inputs, the fair values of non-U.S. government and supranational bonds are included in the Level 2 fair value hierarchy.
Asset-backed securities — These securities comprise CMBScommercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS") and CLOcollateralized loan obligations ("CLO") originated by a variety of financial institutions that on acquisition are rated BBB-/Baa3 or higher. These securities are priced by independent pricing services and brokers. The pricing provider applies dealer quotes and other available trade information, prepayment speeds, yield curves and credit spreads to the valuation. As the significant inputs used to price the CMBS and CLO are observable market inputs, thetheir fair value of the CMBS and CLO securitiesvalues are included in the Level 2 fair value hierarchy.
Corporate and municipal bonds — Bonds issued by corporations, U.S. state and municipality entities or agencies that on acquisition are rated BBB-/Baa3 or higher. These securities are generally priced by independent pricing services. The credit spreads are sourced from broker/dealers, trade prices and the new issue market. Where pricing is unavailable from pricing services, custodian pricing or non-binding quotes are obtained from broker-dealers to estimate fair values. As the significant inputs used to price corporate and municipal bonds are observable market inputs, the fair values are included in the Level 2 fair value hierarchy.

Equity securities - The fair value of equity securities is primarily priced by pricing services, reflecting the closing price quoted for the final trading day of the period. The common stock is carried at fair value using observable market pricing data and is included in the Level 1 fair value hierarchy. Any unrealized gains or losses on the investment is recorded in net income in the period in which they occur.
Other investments — Includes unquoted investments comprised of the following investments:
Private equity investments: These are direct equity investments in limited partnershipscommon and other investments which includes investments in special purpose vehicles focused on lending activities as well as investments in start-up insurancepreferred stock of privately held entities. The fair values are estimated using quarterly financial statements and/or recent private market transactions and thus included under Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to unobservable market data used for valuation.
Private credit lending investments: These are privately held equity investments in common stock of entities that lend money valued using the most recently available or quarterly NAV statements as provided by the external fund manager or third-party administrator and therefore measured using the NAV as a practical expedient.
Investment in limited partnerships: These are private equity funds, private equity co-investments with sponsoring entities and investments in real estate limited partnerships are determinedand joint ventures. The fair value is estimated based on the most recently available NAV as advised by the external fund manager based on recent filings, operating results, balance sheet stability, growthor third-party administrator. The fair values are therefore measured using the NAV as a practical expedient.
Other investments: These investments are comprised of investments in insurtech and other business and market sector fundamentals.insurance focused companies. The fair value of these investments are measured using the NAV practical expedient and therefore have not been categorized within the fair value hierarchy. If there is a reporting lag between the current period end and reporting date of the latest available fund valuation, fair values are estimated by starting with the most recently available valuation and adjusting for return estimates as well as any subscriptions and distributions that took place during the current period.
The investments made by SPVs focused on lending activities are carried at cost less impairment, if any, with any indication of impairment recognized in income when determined. As these investments are carried at cost, they are not included in the fair value hierarchy below.
The fair value of the start-up insurance entities are determined using recent private market transactions where applicable and as such, the fair value of these investments are included in the Level 3 fair value hierarchy.
Cash and cash equivalents (including restricted amounts), accrued investment income, reinsurance balances receivable, and certain other assets and liabilities — The carrying values reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for these financial instruments approximate their fair valuehierarchy due to their short term nature and are classified within the Level 2 fair value hierarchy.
Loan to related party, reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses, and funds withheld receivable — The carrying values reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheetsunobservable market data used for these financial instruments approximate their fair value and are included in the Level 2 fair value hierarchy.
Senior notes The carrying value for these financial instruments represents the principal value of the notes less any unamortized issuance costs. As these notes are presented at carrying value, they are not included in the fair value hierarchy below.valuation.
(b) Fair Value Hierarchy
The Company’s estimates of fair value for financial assets and financial liabilities are based on the framework established in ASC 820. The framework is based on the inputs used in valuation and gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and requires that observable inputs be used in the valuations whenvaluation methodology whenever available. The disclosure of fair value estimates in the ASC 820 hierarchy is based on whether the significant inputs into the valuation are observable. In determining the level of the hierarchy in which the estimate is disclosed, the highest priority is given to unadjusted quoted prices in active trading markets and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s significant market assumptions.

The Company utilizes the Pricing Service to assist in determining the fair value of its investments; however, management is ultimately responsible for all fair values presented in the Company’s financial statements. This includes responsibility for monitoring the fair value process, ensuring objective and reliable valuation practices, and pricing of assets and liabilities and use of pricing sources. The Company analyzes and reviews the information and prices received from the Pricing Service to ensure that the prices provided represent a reasonable estimate of the fair value.
The Pricing Service was utilized to estimate fair value measurements for 99.6%99.3% and 99.7%99.1% of our fixed maturities at June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively. The Pricing Service utilizes market quotations for fixed maturity securities that have quoted market prices in active markets. BecauseSince fixed maturities other than U.S. treasury bonds generally do not trade actively on a daily basis, the Pricing Service prepares estimates of fair value measurements using relevant market data, benchmark curves, sector groupings and matrix pricing and these have been classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

(d) Financial Instruments not measuredDisclosed, But Not Carried, at Fair Value
The fair value of financial instruments accounting guidance also applies to financial instruments disclosed, but not carried, at fair value, except for certain financial instruments related to insurance contracts.
At June 30, 2021, the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents (including restricted amounts), accrued investment income, reinsurance balances receivable, loan to related party, liability for securities purchased and certain other assets and liabilities approximate fair values due to their inherent short duration. As these financial instruments are not actively traded, their fair values are classified as Level 2.
The investments made by direct lending entities are carried at cost less impairment, if any, which approximates fair value. The fair value estimates of these investments are not based on observable market data and, as a result, are classified as Level 3.
The fair values of the Senior Notes (as defined in "Note 7 - Long-Term Debt") are based on indicative market pricing obtained from a third-party pricing service which uses observable market inputs, and therefore the fair values of these liabilities are classified as Level 2.

Maiden US was a substantial portion of the Diversified Reinsurance segment; therefore the Company concluded that the sale represented a strategic shift that has a major effect on its ongoing operations and financial results and that all of the held for sale criteria were met.

8. Reinsurance
The Company uses reinsurance and retrocessional agreements ("ceded reinsurance") to mitigate volatility, reduce its exposure to certain risks and provide capital support. Ceded reinsurance provides for the recovery of a portion of loss and LAE under certain circumstances without relieving the Company of its obligations to the policyholders. The Company remains liable to the extent that any of its reinsurers or retrocessionaires fails to meet their obligations. Loss and LAE incurred and premiums earned are reported after deduction for ceded reinsurance. In the event that one or more of our reinsurers or retrocessionaires are unable to meet their obligations under these agreements, the Company would not realize the full value of the reinsurance recoverable balances.
The effect of ceded reinsurance on net premiums written and earned and on net loss and LAE for the six months ended June 30, 20202021 and 20192020 was as follows:

The Company's reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses balance as at June 30, 20202021 was $617,496$565,549 (December 31, 20192020 - $623,422)$592,571) presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. At June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, the Company had 0 valuation allowance against reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses.
As discussed in "Note 1. Organization", onOn December 27, 2018, Cavello Bay Reinsurance Limited ("Cavello") and Maiden Reinsurance entered into a retrocession agreement pursuant to which certain assets and liabilities associated with the U.S. treaty reinsurance business held by Maiden Reinsurance were 100.0% retroceded to Cavello in exchange for a ceding commission. The balance of reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses due from Cavello under this retrocession agreement was $58,182$62,541 at June 30, 20202021 (December 31, 20192020 - $62,699)$67,972).
On July 31, 2019, Maiden Reinsurance and Cavello entered into the LPT/a Loss Portfolio Transfer and Adverse Development Cover Agreement (the "LPT/ADC Agreement,Agreement") pursuant to which Cavello assumed the loss reserves as of December 31, 2018 associated with the AmTrust Quota Share in excess of a $2,178,535 retention up to $600,000, in exchange for a retrocession premium of $445,000. The $2,178,535 retention is subject to adjustment for paid losses subsequent to December 31, 2018. Please see "Note 1. Basis of Presentation" for further details.
The LPT/ADC Agreement provides Maiden Reinsurance with $155,000 in adverse development cover over its carried AmTrust Quota Share loss reserves at December 31, 2018. The LPT/ADC Agreement meets the criteria for risk transfer and is thus accounted for as retroactive reinsurance. Cumulative ceded losses exceeding $445,000 are recognized as a deferred gain liability and amortized into income over the settlement period of the ceded reserves in proportion to cumulative losses collected over the estimated ultimate reinsurance recoverable. The amount of the deferral is recalculated each period based on loss payments and updated estimates. Consequently, cumulative adverse development subsequent to December 31, 2018 may result in significant losses from operations until periods when the deferred gain is recognized as a benefit to earnings. As of June 30, 2020,2021, the reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses under the retroactive reinsurance agreement were $556,540was $499,254 while the deferred gain liability was $111,540$54,254 (December 31, 20192020 - $557,950$519,941 and $112,950,$74,941, respectively). Amortization of the deferred gain will not occur until paid losses have exceeded the minimum retention under the LPT/ADC Agreement, which is estimated to be in 2024.
Cavello has provided collateral in the form of a letter of credit in the amount of $445,000 to AmTrust under the LPT/ADC Agreement andAgreement. Cavello is subject to additional collateral funding requirements as explained in "Note 10. Related Party Transactions". .As of June 30, 2021, the amount of collateral required was $430,552. Under the terms of the LPT/ADC Agreement, the covered losses associated with the Commutation and Release Agreement with AmTrust are eligible to be covered but recoverable only when such losses are paid or settled by AII or its affiliates, provided such losses and other related amounts shall not exceed $312,786. Cavello's parent company, Enstar, has credit ratings of BBB from both Standard &Poor's& Poor's and Fitch Ratings at June 30, 2020.2021.

9. Reserve for Loss and Loss Adjustment Expenses
The Company uses both historical experience and industry-wide loss development factors to provide a reasonable basis for estimating future losses. In the future, certain events may be beyond the control of management, such as changes in law, judicial interpretations of law, and rates of inflation, which may favorably or unfavorably impact the ultimate settlement of the Company’s loss and LAE reserves.
The anticipated effect of inflation is implicitly considered when estimating liabilities for loss and LAE. While anticipated changes in claim costs due to inflation are considered in estimating the ultimate claim costs, changes in the average severity of claims are caused by a number of factors that vary with the individual type of policy written. Ultimate losses are projected based on historical trends adjusted for implemented changes in underwriting standards, claims handling, policy provisions, and general economic trends. Those anticipated trends are monitored based on actual development and are modified if necessary.
The reserving process begins with the collection and analysis of paid losses and incurred claims data for each of the Company's contracts. While reserves are mostly reviewed on a contract by contract basis, paid loss and incurred claims data is also aggregated into reserving segments. The segmental data is disaggregated by reserving class and further disaggregated by either accident year (i.e. the year in which the loss event occurred) or by underwriting year (i.e. the year in which the contract generating the premium and losses incepted). TheIn cases where the Company in some cases uses underwriting year information, to analyze the Diversified Reinsurance segment andreserves are subsequently allocate reservesallocated to the respective accident years.year. The reserve for loss and LAE consists of:

Prior period development arises from changes to loss estimates recognized in the current year that relate to loss reserves established in previous calendar years. The favorable or unfavorable development reflects changes in management's best estimate of the ultimate losses under the relevant reinsurance policies after considerable review of changes in actuarial assessments. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020,2021, the Company recognized net favorable prior year loss development of $12,807 and $18,361, respectively (2020 - favorable $60 and $593, respectively (2019 - adverse $26,014 and $33,272, respectively).
In the Diversified Reinsurance segment, net favorable prior year loss development was adverse $362$951 and favorable $171$937, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively (20192021 (2020 - adverse $362 and favorable $1,052 and $2,148,$171, respectively). Prior year loss development for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was due to favorable reserve development in German Auto Programs, European Capital Solutions and other runoff business. The favorable development for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily due to favorable reserve development in German Auto Programs partly offset by adverse development in specific German Auto Programs for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The favorable loss development for the same respective periods in 2019 was largely due to favorable development in German Auto Programs and facultative reinsurance run-off lines.

Under the MCA, Cavello provided letters of credit on behalf of Maiden Reinsurance to AmTrust in an amount representing Cavello’s obligations under the LPT/ADC Agreement. Because these letters of credit replaced other collateral previously provided directly by Maiden Reinsurance to AmTrust, the MCA coordinates the collateral protection that will be provided to AmTrust to ensure that no gaps in collateral funding occur by operation of the LPT/ADC Agreement and related MCA.

a)Concentrations of Credit Risk
a)Concentrations of Credit Risk
At June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, the Company’s assets where significant concentrations of credit risk may exist include investments, cash and cash equivalents, loan to related party, reinsurance balances receivable, reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses and funds withheld receivable. Please refer to "Note 8. Reinsurance" for additional information regarding the Company's credit risk exposure on its reinsurance counterparties including the impact of the LPT/ADC Agreement effective January 1, 2019. The Company requires its reinsurers to have adequate financial strength. The Company evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and monitors its concentration of credit risk on an ongoing basis. Provisions are made for amounts considered potentially uncollectible. Letters of credit are provided by its reinsurers for material amounts recoverable as discussed further in "Note 8 — Reinsurance".
The Company manages the concentration of credit risk in its investment portfolio through issuer and sector exposure limitations. The Company believes it bears minimal credit risk in its cash on deposit. The Company also monitors the credit risk related to the loan to related party and funds withheld receivable, within which the largest balance isbalances are due from AmTrust. AmTrust has a financial strength/credit rating of A- (Excellent) from A.M. Best at June 30, 2020.2021. To mitigate credit risk, the Company generally has a contractual right of offset thereby allowing claims to be settled net of any premiums or loan receivable. The Company believes these balances as at June 30, 20202021 will be fully collectible.
b)Operating Lease Commitments
b)Other Commitments and Financial Guarantees
The Company has remaining unfunded commitments on its other investments of $66,351 at June 30, 2021 (2020 - $63,313). Please refer to "Note 4 (b) - Investments" for further details on unfunded commitments at June 30, 2021.
Certain of the Company's investments in limited partnerships are related to real estate joint ventures with interests in multi-property projects with varying strategies ranging from the development of properties to the ownership of income-producing properties. In certain of these joint ventures, the Company has provided certain indemnities, guarantees and commitments to certain parties such that it may be required to make payments now or in the future.
Any loss for which the Company could be liable would be contingent on the default of a loan by the real estate joint venture entity for which the Company provided a financial guarantee to a lender. While the Company has committed to aggregate limits as to the amount of guarantees it will provide as part of its limited partnerships, guarantees are only provided on an individual transaction basis and are subject to the terms and conditions of each transaction mutually agreed by the parties involved. The Company is not bound to such guarantees without its express authorization.
As discussed above, at June 30, 2021, guarantees of $8,545 have been provided to lenders by the Company on behalf of the real estate joint venture, however, the likelihood of the Company incurring any losses pertaining to project level financing guarantees was determined to be remote. Therefore, no liability has been accrued under ASC 450-20.
c)Operating Lease Commitments
The Company leases office spaces, housing, office equipment and company vehicles under various operating leases expiring in various years through 2022.2024. The Company did not enter into any new leaseterminated one of its office leasing arrangements and its subleasing arrangement during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.2021. The Company's leases are all currently classified as operating leases and none of them have non-lease components. For operating leases that have aan initial lease term of more than twelve months, and whose lease payments are above a certain threshold, the Company recognizedrecognizes a lease liability and a right-of-use asset in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at the present value of the remaining lease payments until expiration. As the lease contracts generally do not provide an implicit discount rate, the Company used the weighted-average discount rate of 10%, representing its secured incremental borrowing rate, in calculating the present value of the lease liability. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the sole discretion of the Company and none of our current lease renewal options are deemed to be reasonably certain to be exercised. The Company has made an accounting policy election not to include renewal, termination, or purchase options that are not reasonably certain of exercise when determining the term of the borrowing. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. The Company's weighted-average remaining lease term is 2.3 years.
At June 30, 2020, the Company's future lease obligations of $1,775 (December 31, 2019 - $2,342) was calculated based on the present value of future annual rental commitments excluding taxes, insurance and other operating costs for non-cancellable operating leases discounted using its secured incremental borrowing rate. This amount has been recognized on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheetsis recorded as a lease liability of $1,775 within accrued expenses and other liabilities with an equivalent amount for the right-of-use asset presented as part of other assets. Under Topic 842, Leases, the Company continues to recognize the related leasing expense on a straight-line basis over theassets and is deemed insignificant at June 30, 2021.

claim and dismissed the complaint in its entirety. Mr. Turin objected to the Secretary's findings and requested a hearing before an administrative law judge in the U.S. Department of Labor. The Company moved to dismiss Mr. Turin's complaint, and its motion was granted by the Administrative Law Judge on June 30, 2011. On July 13, 2011, Mr. Turin filed a petition for review of the Administrative Law Judge's decision with the Administrative Review Board in the U.S. Department of Labor.

A putative class action complaint was filed against Maiden Holdings, Arturo M. Raschbaum, Karen L. Schmitt, and John M. Marshaleck in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey on February 11, 2019. On February 19, 2020, the Court appointed lead plaintiffs, and on May 1, 2020, lead plaintiffs filed an amended class action complaint (the “Amended Complaint”).The Amended Complaint asserts violations of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 (and Section 20(a) for control person liability) arising in large part from allegations that Maiden failed to take adequate loss reserves in connection with reinsurance provided to AmTrust. Plaintiffs further claim that certain of Maiden Holdings’ representations concerning its business, underwriting and financial statements were rendered false by the allegedly inadequate loss reserves, that these misrepresentations inflated the price of Maiden Holdings' common stock, and that when the truth about the misrepresentations was revealed, the Company’s stock price fell, causing Plaintiffs to incur losses. The Company believesOn September 11, 2020, a motion to dismiss was filed on behalf of all Defendants. On August 6, 2021, the Court issued an order denying, in part, Defendants’ motion to dismiss, ordering Plaintiffs to file a shorter amended complaint no later than August 20, 2021, and permitting discovery to proceed on a limited basis. We believe the claims are without merit and intendswe intend to vigorously defend itself.ourselves. It is possible that additional lawsuits will be filed against the Company, its subsidiaries and its respective officers due to the diminution in value of our securities as a result of our operating results and financial condition. It is currently uncertain as to the effect of such litigation on our business, operating results and financial condition.

Overview
Maiden Holdings is a Bermuda-based holding company, previously focused on serving the needs of regional and specialty insurers in the United States ("U.S."), Europe and select other global markets. As a result of a series of actions we have taken in recent years discussed below under Recent Developments, we create shareholder value by actively managing and allocating our assets and capital, including through ownership and management of businesses and assets mostly in the insurance and related financial services industries where we can leverage our deep knowledge of those markets. We operatealso provide a full range of legacy services to small insurance companies, particularly those in run-off or with blocks of reserves that are no longer core, working with clients to develop and implement finality solutions including acquiring entire companies. We expect our legacy solutions business to contribute to our active asset and capital management strategies.
Short-term income protection business is written on a primary basis by our wholly owned subsidiaries Maiden Life Försäkrings AB ("Maiden LF") and Maiden General Försäkrings AB ("Maiden GF") in the Scandinavian and Northern European markets. Insurance support services are provided to Maiden LF and Maiden GF through our wholly owned subsidiary, Maiden Global Holdings, Ltd. ("Maiden Global") which is also a licensed intermediary in the United Kingdom. Maiden Global had previously operated internationally by providing branded auto and credit life insurance products through insurer partners, to retail clientsparticularly those in the EUEurope and other global markets through Maiden Global Holdings, Ltd. ("Maiden Global").markets. These products also produceproduced reinsurance programs which arewere underwritten by our wholly owned subsidiary Maiden Reinsurance Ltd. ("Maiden Reinsurance"). Certain international credit life

We are also running offcontinue to run-off the underwriting liabilities associatedrelated to our contracts with AmTrust Financial Services, Inc. ("AmTrust") contractswhich we terminated in early 2019 as discussed below.  In addition, we are not actively underwriting reinsurance business.2019. We also have also entered into a retroactive reinsurance agreementLoss Portfolio Transfer and Adverse Development Cover Agreement ("LPT/ADC Agreement") with Cavello Bay Reinsurance Limited ("Cavello") and a commutation agreement that further reduces our exposure to and limits the potential volatility related to these AmTrust liabilities, which areas discussed in "Note 8. Reinsurance"Note 1. Basis of Presentation" of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I Item 1. "Financial"Financial Information".
As discussed in "Note 1. Basis of Presentation" of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I Item 1. "Financial Information" "and inBusiness Item 1. "Business" " of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20192020 filed with the SEC on March 18, 2020,15, 2021, the sale of Maiden Reinsurance North America, Inc. ("Maiden US") and the termination of both of our quota share contracts with AmTrust have materially reduced our gross and net premiums written since 2018. We have significantly reduced our operating expenses and continue to take steps to reduce these costs further.
We expect to continue to re–evaluate our operating strategy during 2020 while leveraging the significant assets and capital we retain. In addition to restoring operating profitability, our strategic focus will center on creating the greatest risk-adjusted shareholder returns, whether via asset and capital management or active reinsurance underwriting, or a combination of both. Our present assessment of the reinsurance marketplace along with our current operating profile is that the risk-adjusted returns that may be produced via active reinsurance underwriting are likely to present more limited opportunities compared to other strategic initiatives which may produce greater shareholder value.
Our business currently consists of two reportable segments: Diversified Reinsurance and AmTrust Reinsurance. As a result of the strategic decision to divest all of our U.S. treaty reinsurance operations in 2018, we revised the composition of our reportable segments in the fourth quarter of 2018. Our Diversified Reinsurance segment now only consists of a portfolio of predominantly property and casualty reinsurance business focusing on regional and specialty property and casualty insurance companies located primarily in Europe. Our AmTrust Reinsurance segment includes the run-off of all business ceded by AmTrust to Maiden Reinsurance by AmTrust, primarily the quota share reinsurance agreement (“AmTrust Quota ShareShare”) between Maiden Reinsurance and AmTrust’s wholly owned subsidiary, AmTrust International Insurance, Ltd. (“AII”) and the European hospital liability quota share reinsurance contract ("European Hospital Liability Quota Share.Share") with AmTrust’s wholly owned subsidiaries AmTrust Europe Limited ("AEL") and AmTrust International Underwriters DAC ("AIU DAC"), which are both in run-off effective January 1, 2019.
Recent Developments
Effective March 16, 2020, we re-domesticated our principal operating subsidiary, Maiden Reinsurance, to the State of Vermont in the United States. Maiden Reinsurance is now subject to the statutes and regulations of Vermont in the ordinary course of business. We have determined that re-domesticating Maiden Reinsurance to Vermont enables us to better align our capital and resources with our liabilities, which originate mostly in the United States, resulting in a more efficient structure.The re-domestication, in combination with the transactions completed pursuant to the Strategic Review, will continue to strengthen the Company’s capital position and solvency ratios. While the Vermont Department of Financial Regulation ("Vermont DFR") will be the group supervisor for the Company, the re-domestication did not apply to the parent holding company which remains a Bermuda-based holding company. Securities issued by Maiden Holdings were not affected by the re-domestication of Maiden Reinsurance to Vermont.
Concurrent with its re-domestication to Vermont on March 16, 2020, Maiden Holdings contributed as capital the remaining 65% of its ownership in Maiden Reinsurance to Maiden Holdings North America, Ltd. ("Maiden NA"). Maiden NA now owns 100% of Maiden Reinsurance. Maiden NA also maintains a portfolio of cash and fixed maturity investments, along with other strategic investments of $48.8 million at June 30, 2020. We believe Maiden NA’s investments, including its ownership of Maiden Reinsurance, will create opportunities to utilize net operating loss carry-forwards ("NOLs") which total $213.3 million as of June 30, 2020. These NOLs are not presently recognized as deferred tax assets as a full valuation allowance is currently carried against them. For further details please see Note 16 — Taxation included under Item 8 "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the SEC on March 18, 2020. Taken together, the Company believes these measures should generate additional income for Maiden NA in a tax-efficient manner while sharing in the improvement in profitability anticipated in Maiden Reinsurance as a result of the measures enacted as part of the Strategic Review.
In addition to these changes regarding Maiden Reinsurance, sinceSince the third quarter of 2018, we have engaged in a series of strategic measurestransactions that have dramatically reduced the regulatory capital required to operate our business, materially strengthened our solvency ratios, and ceased active reinsurance underwriting. During that time, we significantly increased our estimate of ultimate lossesloss and loss expense reserves while purchasing reinsurance protection against further loss reserve volatility and as a result, have improved the ultimate economic value of the Company.
We believe these measures have given the Company the ability to more flexibly allocate capital to those activities most likely to produce the greatest returns for shareholders, and the Company is actively engaged in evaluating opportunities, both individually and in the aggregate that it believes will accomplish that goal.
The measures we have taken were initiated in early 2018, when our Board of Directors initiated a review of strategic alternatives ("Strategic Review") to evaluate ways to increase shareholder value after a period of continuing higher than targeted combined ratios and lower returns on equity than expected. This Strategic Review resulted in a series of transactions that have transformed our operations and materially reduced the risk on our balance sheet. These transactions can be found in Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Effective March 16, 2020, we re-domesticated our principal operating subsidiary, Maiden Reinsurance, from Bermuda to the State of Vermont in the U.S., having determined that re-domesticating Maiden Reinsurance to Vermont enables us to better align our capital and resources with our liabilities, which originate mostly in the United States, resulting in a more efficient structure. Maiden Reinsurance is now subject to the statutes and regulations of Vermont in the ordinary course of business. The re-domestication, in combination with other strategic measures described above that were completed in 2019, will continue to strengthen the Company’s capital position and solvency ratios.
While the Vermont Department of Financial Regulation ("Vermont DFR") is currently the group supervisor for the Company, the re-domestication did not apply to the parent holding company which remains a Bermuda-based holding company.

("Maiden NA"). Maiden NA now owns 100% of Maiden Reinsurance in the aggregate.
Maiden NA also maintains a portfolio of cash and fixed maturity investments, along with other strategic investments, of $25.1 million at June 30, 2021. We believe Maiden NA’s investments, including its ownership of Maiden Reinsurance and its active asset management strategy, will create opportunities to utilize net operating loss carry-forwards ("NOLs") which were
38


$209.6 millionas of June 30, 2021. These NOLs, in combination with additional net deferred tax assets ("DTAs") of primarily related to our insurance liabilities, result in a net DTA (before valuation allowance) of $84.6 million or $0.98 per common share as of June 30, 2021. These net DTAs are not presently recognized on the Company's consolidated balance sheet as a full valuation allowance is currently carried against them. For further details, please see "Note 16. Taxation" included under Item 8 "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. Taken together, we believe these measures should generate additional income for Maiden NA in a tax-efficient manner, while sharing in the improvement in profitability anticipated in Maiden Reinsurance as a result of the measures enacted as part of the Strategic Review.
Business Strategy
We continue to re–evaluate our operating strategy during 2021 while leveraging the significant assets and capital we retain. In addition to restoring operating profitability, our strategic focus centers on creating the greatest risk-adjusted shareholder returns, whether via asset and capital management or active reinsurance underwriting, or a combination of both. Our present assessment of the reinsurance marketplace along with our current operating profile is that the risk-adjusted returns that may be produced via active reinsurance underwriting of new risks are likely to present more limited opportunities compared to other strategic initiatives which may produce greater shareholder value. As a result, our strategic focus has shifted to activities which utilize our unrestricted cash and investments to manage our capital and where prudent, enhance our investment return by investing in asset classes which we believe will produce appropriate returns. By enhancing our profitability through increased investment returns, we believe we also increase the likelihood of fully utilizing the significant NOLs described above which may create additional shareholder value.
The measures implemented now enable us to more flexibly allocate capital to those activities most likely to produce the greatest returns for shareholders, and we are actively engaged in evaluating and deploying funds in both pillars of these strategies as discussed herein. As part of our expanded asset management activities, we have evaluated and continue to consider investing in various initiatives in the insurance industry across a variety of segments which we believe will produce appropriate risk-adjusted returns while maintaining the option to consider underwriting activities in the future.
Our capital management strategy is significantly informed by the required capital needed to operate our business in a prudent manner and our ongoing analysis of our loss development trends. Recent trends have increased our confidence in our recorded ultimate losses for our insurance liabilities in run-off, however a prudent assessment dictates that the run-off portfolio still requires additional maturity to fully emerge. While there is no guarantee that these recent loss development trends will persist, as confidence has increased it has enabled us to pursue continued capital management initiatives, primarily the repurchase of our preference shares, which we believe provide the greatest risk-adjusted returns to our common shareholders. Our current assessment is that losses have continued to stabilize sufficiently to continue to consider these capital management initiatives, although we are careful to approach these strategies in a deliberate fashion.
In November 2020, we formed Genesis Legacy Solutions (“GLS”) which specializes in providing a full range of legacy services to small insurance entities, particularly those in run-off or with blocks of reserves that are no longer core, working with clients to develop and implement finality solutions including acquiring entire companies. We believe the formation of GLS is highly complementary to our overall longer-term strategy. GLS, along with other recent insurance industry investments, enables us to leverage our knowledge base while not re-entering active underwriting of new risks and maintaining an efficient operating profile. We believe GLS not only enhances our profitability through both fee income and effective claims management services, but it will also increase our asset base through the addition of blocks of reserves or companies that can be successfully wound down. This should further enhance our ability to pursue the asset and capital management pillars of our business strategy.
Our ability to execute our asset and capital management initiatives is dependent on maintaining adequate levels of unrestricted liquidity and cash flows. Further, there can be no assurance that our insurance liabilities will run-off at levels that will permit further capital management activities, which we continually review as part of our strategy. Please refer to the "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section for further information on our asset and capital management activities, in particular our various preference share repurchase measures.
COVID-19 Pandemic
The continuing COVID-19 global pandemic has caused significant disruption to the economy and financial markets globally, and the full extent of the potential impacts of COVID-19 are not yet known. Circumstances caused by the COVID-19 pandemic are complex, uncertain and rapidly evolving. Our results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity and capital resources have been adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the future impact of the pandemic on our financial condition or results of operations is difficult to predict.
As described herein, the Company iswe are not currently engaged in active reinsurance underwriting and is runningcontinue to run off the remaining unearned exposures it haswe have reinsured. Maiden Global’s business development teams partner with automobile manufacturers, dealer associationsOur Swedish and local primary insurers to design and implement point of saleUK insurance programs which generate revenue for the auto manufacturer and insurance premiums for the primary insureroperations ("IIS unit"). Our IIS unit does do write limited primary insurance coveragescoverage that could be exposed to COVID-19 claims. While we assess our exposure to COVID-19 insurance and reinsurance claims on our existing insurance exposures and remaining reinsurance exposures as limited and immaterial, given the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the insurance industry, our preliminary estimates of loss and loss adjustment expenses ("loss and LAE") and estimates of reinsurance recoverable arising from the COVID-19 pandemic may materially change. Maiden Reinsurance has not received any COVID-19 claims to date but our companies within our IIS unit have received a limited number of claims related to those coverages which it deems as immaterial. Unanticipated issues relating to claims and coverage may emerge, which could adversely affect our business by increasing the scope of coverage beyond our intent and/or increasing the frequency and severity of claims.
The Company's investment portfolio may be adversely impacted by unfavorable market conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and we and our reinsurance subsidiaries may need additional capital to maintain compliance with regulatory capital requirements and/or be required to post additional collateral under existing reinsurance arrangements, which could reduce our
39


liquidity. In addition, the Company may experience continued volatility in our results of operations which could negatively impact our financial condition and create a reduction in the amount of available distribution or dividend capacity from our regulated reinsurance subsidiaries, which would also reduce our liquidity.
Please refer to the "Liquidity and Capital ResourcesResources" section for a further discussion of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our liquidity and investment portfolio.

Key Financial Measures
In addition to the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income, management uses certain key financial measures, some of which are non-GAAP measures, to evaluate the Company's financial performance and the overall growth in value generated for the Company’s common shareholders. Management believes that these measures, which may be defined differently by other companies, explain the Company’s results to investors in a manner that allows for a more complete understanding of the underlying trends in the Company’s business. The non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as a substitute for those determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The calculation of some of these key financial measures including the reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to the nearest GAAP measure and relevant discussions are found within Item 2 - "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations"on page 60.. These key financial measures are:
Non-GAAP operating earnings (loss) and non-GAAP diluted operating earnings (loss) per common share: Management believes that the use of non-GAAP operating earnings (loss) and non-GAAP diluted operating earnings (loss) per common share enables investors and other users of the Company’s financial information to analyze its performance in a manner similar to how management analyzes performance. Management also believes that these measures generally follow industry practice therefore allowing the users of financial information to compare the Company’s performance with its industry peer group, and that the equity analysts and certain rating agencies which follow the Company, and the insurance industry as a whole, generally exclude these items from their analyses for the same reasons. Non-GAAP operating earnings (loss) should not be viewed as a substitute for U.S. GAAP net income (loss).income.
Non-GAAP operating earnings (loss) is an internal performance measure used by management as these measures focus on the underlying fundamentals of the Company's operations by excluding, on a recurring basis: (1) net realized gains or losses on investment; (2) total other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI") losses; (3) foreign exchange and other gains or losses; and (4) the portion of favorable or unfavorable prior year reserve development for which we have ceded the risk under retroactive reinsurance agreements and related changes in amortization of the deferred gain losses. It also excludes on a non-recurring basis: (1) loss from discontinued operations, netliability; and (5) interest in income of income tax and; (2) loss and related activity from our NGHC Quota Share run-off operations which was commuted in November 2019.equity method investments. We excludehave excluded net realized gains or losses on investment, OTTI losses, interest in income of equity method investments and foreign exchange and other gains or losses as we believe these are influenced by market opportunities and other factors. We do not believe results from our NGHC Quota Share run-off operations commuted in November 2019, results from our discontinued operations, andthat ceded risks under retroactive reinsurance agreements are representative of our ongoing and future business. We believe all of these amounts are substantially independent of our business and any potential future underwriting process, therefore, including them would distort the analysis of underlying trends in our operations.
Underwriting lossincome (loss) is a non-GAAP measure and is calculated as net premiums earned plus other insurance revenue less net loss and LAE, commission and other acquisition expenses and general and administrative expenses directly related to underwriting activities. For purposes of these non-GAAP operating measures, the fee-generating business which is included in our Diversified Reinsurance segment, is considered part of the underwriting operations of the Company. Management believes that this measure is important in evaluating the underwriting performance of the Company and its segments. This measure is also a useful tool to measure the profitability of the Company separately from the investment results and is also a widely used performance indicator in the insurance industry. A reconciliation of the Company's underwriting results can be found in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in the "Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) Note 3. Segment Information" included under Item 1. "Financial Statements" of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Combined ratio is commonly used in the insurance and reinsurance industry in conjunction with underwriting income (loss) as a measure of underwriting profitability. Management measures underwriting results on an overall basis and for each segment on the basis of the combined ratio. The combined ratio is the sum of the net loss and LAE ratio and the expense ratio and the computations of each component are described below. A combined ratio under 100% indicates underwriting profitability, as the net loss and LAE, commission and other acquisition expenses and general and administrative expenses are less than the net premiums earned and other insurance revenue on that business. While the Company has continued to utilize this non-GAAP measure in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, it is important to note that as the run-off of our reinsurance portfolios progresses, such ratios may increasingly be of less value to readers as they evaluate the financial results of the Company, particularly compared to historical data. Please refer to "Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) Note 3. Segment Information" included under Item 1. "Financial Statements" of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further details.
While an important metric of success, underwriting lossincome (loss) and combined ratio do not reflect all components of profitability, as they do not recognize the impact of investment income earned on premiums between the time premiums are received and the time loss payments are ultimately paid to clients. Because we do not manage our cash and investments by segment, investment income and interest expense are not allocated to the reportable segments. Certain general and administrative expenses are generally allocated to segments based on actual costs incurred.
The "net loss and LAE ratio" is derived by dividing net loss and LAE by the sum of net premiums earned and other insurance revenue. The "commission and other acquisition expense ratio" is derived by dividing commission and other acquisition expenses by the sum of net premiums earned and other insurance revenue. The "general and administrative expense ratio" is derived by dividing general and administrative expenses by the sum of net premiums earned and other insurance revenue. The "expense ratio" is the sum of the commission and other acquisition expense ratio and the general and administrative expense ratio.
Non-GAAP Operating Return on Average Adjusted Common Equity ("Non-GAAP Operating ROACE"): Management uses non-GAAP operating return on average adjusted common shareholders' equity as a measure of profitability that focuses on the return to common shareholders. It is calculated using non-GAAP operating earnings (loss) available to common shareholders (as defined above) divided by average adjusted common shareholders' equity.

Book Value per Common Share and Diluted Book Value per Common Share: Book value per common share and diluted book value per common share are non-GAAP measures. Management uses growth in both of these metrics as a prime measure
42


of the value we are generating for our common shareholders, because management believes that growth in each metric ultimately results in growth in the Company’s common share price. These metrics are impacted by the Company’s net income and external factors, such as interest rates, which can drive changes in unrealized gains or losses on our fixed income investment portfolio, as well as common or preferred share repurchases.
Ratio of Debt to Total Capital Resources: Management uses this non-GAAP measure to monitor the financial leverage of the Company. This measure is calculated using the total principal amount of debt divided by the sum of total capital resources.
Non-GAAP underwriting income (loss), Non-GAAP loss and LAE ratio, and Non-GAAP combined ratio: Management has further adjusted underwriting loss, as defined above, as well as the reported loss and LAE ratios and reported combined ratios by recognizing into incomeexcluding the unamortized deferred gain arising fromportion of favorable or unfavorable prior year reserve development for which we have ceded the risk under retroactive reinsurance agreements such as the LPT/ADC Agreement. The deferred gain represents amountsThese losses are estimated to be fully recoverable from Cavello and management believes adjusting for this development shows the ultimate economic benefit of the LPT/ADC Agreement on Maiden'sour underwriting income (loss).results. We believe reflecting the economic benefit of this retroactive reinsurance agreement is helpful for understanding future trends in our operations.
Adjusted Total Shareholders' Equity, Adjusted Total Capital Resources, Ratio of debtDebt to Adjusted Total Capital Resources and Adjusted Book Value per Common Share: Management has adjusted GAAP shareholders' equity by adding the unamortized deferred gain on retroactive reinsurance arising from the LPT/ADC Agreement to shareholders' equity. The unamortized deferred gain on retroactive reinsurance arising from the LPT/ADC Agreement includes the aggregate impact of: 1) cumulative increases to losses incurred prior to December 31, 2018 for which we have ceded the risk under the LPT/ADC Agreement; and 2) changes in estimated ultimate losses for certain workers' compensation reserves previously commuted by the Company to AmTrust which are subject to specific terms and conditions pursuant to the LPT/ADC Agreement. As a result, by virtue of this adjustment, management has also adjusted Total Capital Resources and computed the Ratio of debtDebt to Adjusted Capital Resources and Adjusted Book Value per Common Share. The deferred gain liability represents amounts estimated to be fully recoverable from Cavello and management believes adjusting for this shows the ultimate economic benefit of the LPT/ADC Agreement. We believe reflecting the economic benefit of this retroactive reinsurance agreement is helpful to understand future trends in our operations, which will improve Maiden'sthe Company's shareholders' equity over the settlement period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
Maiden Holdings is a holding company and transacts no business of its own. We therefore rely on cash flows in the form of dividends, advances, loans and other permitted distributions from our subsidiary companies to pay expenses and make dividend payments on our common and preference shares. The jurisdictions in which our operating subsidiaries are licensed to write business impose regulations requiring companies to maintain or meet statutory solvency and liquidity requirements and also place restrictions on the declaration and payment of dividends and other distributions.
As of June 30, 2020,2021, the Company had investable assets of $2.5$2.0 billion compared to $2.8$2.3 billion as of December 31, 2019.2020. Investable assets are the combined total of our investments, cash and cash equivalents (including restricted)restricted cash), loan to a related party and funds withheld receivable. The decrease in our investable assets is primarily the result of significant negative operating cash flows during six months ended June 30, 2020, particularly as a result of our cessation of active reinsurance underwriting including certain contract terminations that occurred in 2018 and 2019 that require the disbursement ofwhich subsequently results in negative operating cash and investmentsflows to settle claim payments from the run-off of the liabilities from that reinsurance portfolio in 2020.2021.
The regulatory and liquidity requirements of the Company's operating segments are discussed in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" section included under Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10- K for the year ended December 31, 2019,2020, that was filed with the SEC on March 18, 2020.15, 2021.
As previously indicated, Maiden Reinsurance re-domesticated from Bermuda to Vermont on March 16, 2020. We expectcontinue to be actively engaged with the Vermont DFR regarding the formulation of Maiden Reinsurance's longer term business plan, including its investment policy, changes to which require prior regulatory approval as stipulated by Vermont law or the Vermont DFR for any active

underwriting, capital management or other strategic initiatives. Maiden Reinsurance has received all necessary approvals required to date by the Vermont DFR.
DFR, including its investment policy which includes: 1) the expansion of approved asset classes for investment reflecting not only Maiden Reinsurance’s solvency position but the material reduction in required capital necessary to operate its business as discussed further in Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity & Capital Resources – Cash and Investments; and 2) the purchase of affiliated securities as demonstrated in the recent preference share tender offers. The Company's investment portfolioInvestment Policy, as approved and as may be adversely impacted by unfavorable market conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemicamended, maintains our established investment management and we and our insurance subsidiaries may need additional capital to maintain compliance with regulatory capital requirements and/or be required to post additional collateral under existing reinsurance arrangements, which could reduce our liquidity. In addition, wegovernance practices.
We may experience continued volatility in our results of operations which could negatively impact our financial condition and create a reduction in the amount of available distribution or dividend capacity from our regulated reinsurance subsidiaries, which would also reduce liquidity. Further, we and our insurance subsidiaries may need additional capital to maintain compliance with regulatory capital requirements and/or be required to post additional collateral under existing reinsurance arrangements, which could reduce our liquidity. Finally, while we have had limited impacts from the effects of COVID-19 on our financial condition to date, the Company's investment portfolio could be adversely impacted by unfavorable market conditions caused by the pandemic should it continue longer than anticipated.

Operating, investing and financing cash flows
Our sources of funds historically have consisted of premium receipts net of commissions and brokerage, investment income, net proceeds from capital raising activities, and proceeds from sales, maturities, pay downs and redemption of investments. Cash is currently used primarily to pay loss and LAE, ceded reinsurance premium, general and administrative expenses, and interest expense, with the remainder in excess of our operating requirements made available to our investment managers for investment in accordance with our investment policy.policy as well as for capital management such as repurchasing our shares.
Our business has undergone significant changes in the past two years.since 2018. As previously noted, the Strategic Review resulted in a series of transactions that have materially reduced our balance sheet risk and have transformed our operations. As a result of the transactions entered into from the Strategic Review, we are not engaged in any active underwriting of reinsurance business thus our net premiums written will continue to be materially lower in 2020 and investment related income will become a significantly larger portion of our total revenues. This has caused significant negative operating cash flow, particularlyflows as we run off the AmTrust Reinsurance reserves as shown in the cash flows table further below.
As noted in our Business Strategy, in November 2020, we formed GLS which will specialize in providing a full range of legacy services to small insurance entities, We believe the formation of GLS is highly complementary to our overall longer-term strategy and will not only enhance our profitability through both fee income and effective claims management services, but it will also increase our asset base through the addition of blocks of reserves or companies that can be successfully wound down. While the development of the GLS platform over time should further enhance our ability to pursue the asset and capital management pillars of our business strategy, we still expect thisthe trend of negative overall cash flows to continue to reduce our asset base going forward for the rest of 2020into 2021 and beyond.
We expect to use funds from cash and investment portfolios, collected premiums on reinsurance contracts in force or being run-off, investment income and proceeds from investment sales and redemptions to meet our expected claims payments and operational expenses. Claim payments will be principally from the run-off of existing reserves for loss and loss adjustment expenses.LAE. A significant portion of those liabilities are collateralized and claim payments will be funded by using this collateral which should provide sufficient funding to fulfill those obligations. We generally expect negative operating cash flows to be partly offset by positive investing cash flows. Overall, we continue to expect our cash flows to be sufficient to meet our cash requirements and to operate our business.
At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and unrestricted fixed maturity investments were $401.8 million and $435.0 million, respectively. The Company’s management believes its current sources of liquidity are adequate to meet its cash requirements for the next twelve months.months as we generally expect negative operating cash flows to be sufficiently offset by positive investing cash flows. While we continue to expect our cash flows to be sufficient to meet our cash requirements and to operate our business, our ability to execute our asset and capital management initiatives are dependent on maintaining adequate levels of unrestricted liquidity and cash flows. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and unrestricted fixed maturity investments were $189.3 million and $269.2 million, respectively.
The decrease in unrestricted balances during 2021 was largely the result of $124.7 million utilized for the 2021 Preference Share Repurchases, $21.6 million utilized for net purchases of other investments, and $17.9 million utilized for net purchases of equity method investments, as described further in the discussion on investing and financing cash flows below.

Investments" included under Part I Item 1 "Financial Information" of this Form 10-Q.10-Q for further discussion on our available-for-sale fixed income securities.
As our insurance liabilities continue to run-off and the required capital to operate our business for regulatory purposes decreases, we may have modified Maiden Reinsurance’s investment policy (which has been approved by the ability to consider additionalVermont DFR as noted) and have expanded the range of asset classes we invest in to enhance the income and returns our investment portfolio produces. We may allocate a portioncategorize these investments as "Other Investments" and "Equity Method Investments" on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. During 2020 and 2021, under this revised investment policy, we have increased the amount of investments in these categories, and we expect to continue to increase the amounts invested therein. Under our investment portfoliopolicy, investments included in these categories could include, but are not limited to, otherprivately held investments, including private equity, andprivate credit lending funds, fixed incomefixed-income funds, hedge funds, equity funds, real estate (including joint ventures and limited partnerships) and other non-fixed incomenon-fixed-income investments. For further details on these other investments, in addition to the discussion of these investments herein, please see "Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) Note 4(b). Other Investments and Equity Method Investments" included under Part I Item 1 "Financial Information" of this Form 10-Q.
Our investment performance is subject to a variety of risks, including risks related to general economic conditions, market volatility, interest rate fluctuations, foreign exchange risk, liquidity risk and credit and default risk. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary policies, domestic and international economic and political conditions and other factors beyond our control. An increase in interest rates could result in significant losses, realized or unrealized, in the value of our investment portfolio. A portion of portfolio consists of alternative investments that subject us to restrictions on redemption, which may limit our ability to withdraw funds for some period of time after the initial investment. The values of, and returns on, such investments may also be more volatile.
We believe our other investments and equity method investments portfolio provides diversification against our fixed-income investments and an opportunity for improved risk-adjusted return, however, the returns of these investments may be more volatile and we may experience significant unrealized gains or losses in any particular quarter or year. In addition, we believe the returns produced by these investments will exceed our cost of capital, in particular our cost of debt capital. It is too soon to determine if the actual returns will achieve this objective and it may be an extended period of time before that determination can be made.
55


We may utilize and pay fees to various companies to provide investment advisory and/or management services related to these investments. These fees, which would be predominantly based upon the amount of assets under management, would be included in net investment income. We believe these other investments and equity method investments would provide diversification against our fixed income investments and an opportunity for improved risk-adjusted returns; however, the returns of these investments may be more volatile and we may experience significant unrealized gains or losses in a particular quarter or year.
The substantial majority of our current and planned future investments are or will be held by Maiden Reinsurance, whose investment policy is required to behas been approved by the Vermont DFR. We may utilize a portion of Maiden Reinsurance's unrestricted assets to purchase affiliated securities and, during the first half of 2021, we utilized $124.7 million in conjunction with the 2021 Preference Share Repurchases. Maiden Reinsurance has received all necessary approvals for its investment policy.
Cash & Cash Equivalents
At June 30, 2021, we consider the levels of cash and cash equivalents we are holding to be within our targeted ranges. During periods when interest rates experience greater volatility, we have periodically maintained more cash and equivalents to better assess current market conditions and opportunities within our defined risk appetite, and may do so in future periods.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020,2021, the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury bond decreasedincreased by 12652 basis points to 0.66%1.45%. The 10-year U.S. Treasury rate is the key risk-free determinant in the fair value of many of the fixed maturity securities in our portfolio. The U.S. Treasury yield curve experienced a material downwardupward shift during the six months ended June 30, 2020,2021, reflecting significant global financial andconcerns about potential inflation emanating from the combination of: 1) growing confidence in the U.S. economic volatility fromoutlook as the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic which spread during the first halfcontinue to abate; 2) enactment of 2020. The global nature of the pandemic resulted in an abrupt downturn in economic activity both globally and within the U.S., and financial markets experienced unprecedented volatility during this period. The U.S. Federal Reserve, along with central bankers globally, implemented multiple rounds of rapid and aggressive monetary measures to provide liquidity to financial markets and to relieve imbalances that rapidly formed in those marketsadditional significant fiscal stimulus legislation in the face of the pandemicU.S.; and its economic and financial impacts. Government policymakers in the U.S. and globally have additionally implemented an ongoing series of unprecedented fiscal3) continued accommodative monetary policy measures to provide immediate and near-term economic relief to affected populations.pursued by central banks globally.
The movement in the market values of our fixed maturity portfolio during the six months ended June 30, 20202021 generated net unrealized losses of $4.8 million, primarily due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widening credit spreads, a surging demand for liquidity and a slowdown to global economic activity, all of which have decreased bond prices during the six months ended June 30, 2020.
Due in large part to the ongoing uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in global financial markets during the six months ended June 30, 2020, our investment portfolio experienced significant fluctuation in unrealized gains and losses (largely due to rapidly fluctuating credit spreads on fixed income investments), increased volatility, heightened credit risk, and declines in yields on our fixed income investments.$22.4 million. Our investment portfolios may be adversely impacted by unfavorable market conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, which could cause continued volatility in our results of operations and negatively impact our financial condition.
AtInterest rate risk is the price sensitivity of a security to changes in interest rates. Credit spread risk is the price sensitivity of a security to changes in credit spreads. As noted, the fair value of our fixed maturity investments will fluctuate with changes in interest rates and credit spreads. We attempt to maintain adequate liquidity in our fixed maturity investments portfolio with a

strategy designed to emphasize the preservation of our invested assets and provide sufficient liquidity for the prompt payment of claims and contract liabilities. Because we collateralize a significant portion of our insurance liabilities, unanticipated or large increases in interest rates could require us to utilize significant amounts of unrestricted cash and fixed maturity securities to provide additional collateral, which could impact our asset and capital management strategy described herein.
We also monitor the duration and structure of our investment portfolio as discussed below. As of June 30, 2020, we consider2021, the levels of cash and cash equivalents we are holding to be within our targeted ranges. During periods whenaggregate hypothetical change in fair value from an immediate 100 basis points increase in interest rates, experience greater volatility, we have periodically maintained more cashassuming credit spreads remain constant, in our fixed maturity investments portfolio would decrease the fair value of that portfolio by $27.8 million. Actual shifts in interest rates may not change by the same magnitude across the maturity spectrum or on an individual security and, cash equivalentsas a result, the impact on the fair value of our fixed maturity securities may be materially different from the resulting change in order to better assess current market conditions and opportunities within our defined risk appetite, and may do so in future periods. value described above.
To limit our exposure to unexpected interest rate increases which would reduce the value of our fixed income securities and reduce our shareholders' equity, we attempt to maintain the duration of our fixed maturity investment portfolio combined with our cash and cash equivalents, both restricted and unrestricted, within a reasonable range of the duration of our loss reserves.

At June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, these respective durations in years were as follows:

The differential in duration between these assets and liabilities may fluctuate over time and in the case of fixed maturities, historically has been affected by factors such as market conditions, changes in asset mix and prepayment speeds in the case of both our agency mortgage-backed securities ("Agency MBS") and commercial mortgage-backed securities. At June 30, 2020, the duration of our fixed maturity investment portfolio decreased compared to December 31, 2019 due to sales of fixed maturities primarily as a result of settling claim payments with AmTrust. At June 30, 2020,2021, the duration of our loss reserves net of the LPT/ADC Agreement was in line withlower than the duration of our fixed maturity investment portfolio.

The Company’s common shares continue to trade under the symbol “MHLD”.
On April 17, 2020, the Company received a letter from NASDAQ stating that the Company had not regained compliance during the compliance period and that the Company’s securities would be delisted from the NASDAQ Capital Market by the opening of business on April 28, 2020 unless the Company requests an appeal of NASDAQ’s determination to a Hearings Panel. On April 24, 2020, the Company filed a Hearing Request Form to appeal NADSAQ’s determination with the Hearings Panel, which stayed the de-listing until a decision is rendered subsequent to the appeal hearing.Panel. On June 2, 2020, the Company issued a press release announcing it hashad regained compliance with NADSAQ’s mimimum bid price and all applicable listing requirements for continued listing, and the appeal hearing was canceled.

(1) Non-GAAP underwriting loss, non-GAAP net loss and LAE, non-GAAP net loss and LAE ratio, and non-GAAP combined ratio for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 include the impact of prior year reserve development subject to the LPT/ADC Agreement. Please see the "Key Financial Measures" section for definitions of Non-GAAP underwriting loss, net loss and LAE, non-GAAP net loss and LAE ratio, and non-GAAP combined ratio.
The non-GAAP underwriting results as well as the non-GAAP loss and LAE and ratios and non-GAAP combined ratios include the impact of prior year loss reserve development related to the AmTrust Quota Share which is fully recoverable from Cavello and subject to the LPT/ADC Agreement to show the ultimate economic benefit to the Company.
As shown in the table above, adjusted for the impact of favorable prior year reserve development subject to the LPT/ADC Agreement of $10.8 million and $20.7 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, the non-GAAP underwriting loss was primarily$2.4 million and $10.7 million, respectively. This compared to a non-GAAP underwriting loss of $1.4 million and an underwriting loss of $5.1 million for the resultsame respective periods in 2020 when adjusted for the impact of favorable prior year reserve development subject to the LPT/ADC Agreement of $1.4 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.
The non-GAAP underwriting results above were due to underwriting results in the AmTrust Reinsurance segment not covered by the LPT/ADC Agreement, specifically the run-off of the AmTrust Quota Share with losses occurring after December 31, 2018 (including the additional ceding commission paid under the Partial Termination Amendment) as well as claims related to the European Hospital Liability Quota Share. Results in the Diversified Reinsurance segment during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were relatively stable.

Adjusted Shareholders' Equity, Adjusted Total Capital Resources, Adjusted Book Value per Common Share, and Ratio of Debt to Total Adjusted Capital Resources
The Adjusted Shareholders' Equity, Adjusted Total Capital Resources and Adjusted Book Value per Common Share at June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 20192020 reflect the addition of the unamortized deferred gain on retroactive reinsurance to the GAAP shareholders' equity as depicted in the computations below.
The estimated deferred gain of $111.5$54.3 million at June 30, 20202021 and $113.0$74.9 million at December 31, 20192020 arises from the LPT/ADC Agreement with Cavello relating to losses subject to that agreement which are fully recoverable from Cavello.
The decrease in the unamortized deferred gain on retroactive reinsurance for the six months ended June 30, 2021 is attributable to $20.7 million in loss and loss adjustment expenses recognized as favorable loss development in the Company's GAAP income statement that are subject to the LPT/ADC Agreement. We believe the inclusion of the unamortized deferred gain in these metrics better reflects the ultimate economic benefit of the LPT/ADC Agreement, which will improve Maiden'sthe Company's shareholders' equity over the settlement period under the terms of the agreement.

Currency and Foreign Exchange
We conduct business in a variety of foreign (non-U.S.) currencies, the principal exposures being the euro and the British pound. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are exposed to changes in currency exchange rates. Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar, and exchange rate fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar may materially impact our results and financial position. Our principal exposure to foreign currency risk is our obligation to settle claims in foreign currencies. In addition, in order to minimize this risk, we maintain and expect to continue to maintain a portion of our investment portfolio in investments denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. We may employ various strategies (including hedging) to manage our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk. To the extent that these exposures are not fully hedged or the hedges are ineffective, our results of operations or equity may be adversely affected. At June 30, 2020,2021, no such hedges or hedging strategies were in force or had been entered into. We measure monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at period end exchange rates, with the resulting foreign exchange gains and losses recognized in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Revenues and expenses in foreign currencies are converted at average exchange rates during the period. The effect of the translation adjustments for foreign operations is included in AOCI.
Net foreign exchange losses of $2.1$1.2 million and net foreign exchange gains of $6.3$2.2 million were generated during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020,2021, respectively, compared to net foreign exchange losses of $2.1 million and net foreign exchange gains of $1.2 million and $1.9$6.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019,2020, respectively.
Effects of Inflation
The anticipated effects of inflation are considered explicitly in the pricing of the insured exposures, which are used as the initial estimates of reserves for loss and LAE. In addition, inflation is also implicitly accounted for in subsequent estimates of loss and LAE reserves, as the expected rate of emergence is in part predicated upon the historical levels of inflation that impact ultimate claim costs. To the extent inflation causes these costs, particularly medical treatments and litigation costs, to vary from the assumptions made in the pricing or reserving estimates, the Company will be required to change the reserve for loss and LAE with a corresponding change in its earnings in the period in which the variance is identified. The actual effects of inflation on the results of operations of the Company cannot be accurately known until claims are ultimately settled.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
At June 30, 2020,2021, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined by Item 303(a) (4) of Regulation S-K.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See "Part I, Item 1 - Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies" for a discussion on recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted.


Item 4. Controls and Procedures
 Our management, with the participation and under the supervision of our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated 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 (the “Exchange Act”)). Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, such disclosure controls and procedures were effective. Our management, including our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide an absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our Company have been detected.
During the most recent fiscal quarter, there were no changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
See "Part I, Item 1 - Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies" for an update on legal matters. Except as disclosed above, there are no material changes from the legal proceedings previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.2020.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our business is subject to a number of risks, including those identified in Item 1A. of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019,2020, that could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and/or liquidity and that could cause our operating results to vary significantly from period to period. The risks described in our 20192020 Form 10-K are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and/or liquidity.
Circumstances caused byThere are no material changes from the COVID-19 pandemic are complex, uncertain and rapidly evolving. We therefore may not be able to accurately predict the longer-term effects that the COVID-19 pandemic may have on our financial condition or results of operations. To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects our financial condition or results of operations, it may also have the effect of heightening additional risks describedrisk factors previously disclosed in "Part I - Item 1A,1A. Risk Factors,Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
The impact of COVID-19 and related risks has adversely affected, and is expected to continue to adversely affect, our business, results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity and capital resources, and any future impact on our business is difficult to predict at this time.
The continuing COVID-19 global pandemic has caused significant disruption to the economy and financial markets globally, and the full extent of the potential impacts of COVID-19 are not yet known. Circumstances caused by the COVID-19 pandemic are complex, uncertain and rapidly evolving. Our results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity and capital resources have been adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the future impact of the pandemic on our financial condition or results of operations is difficult to predict. In particular, we believe we are subject to the following risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic:
Investments. Due in large part to the uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in global financial markets, our investment portfolio has experienced increased volatility, heightened credit risk, and declines in yields on our fixed income investments. Our investment portfolios may continue to be adversely impacted by unfavorable market conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, which could cause continued volatility in our results of operations and negatively impact our financial condition.2020.
Debt and Equity Financing. As a result of the economic conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, capital and credit markets continue to experience volatility that could negatively impact our ability to raise additional capital through the debt or equity markets or through bank or other debt financing. If we are unable to obtain adequate capital on suitably attractive terms, or at all, we may be unable to implement our future operating plans and our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
Liquidity. Due to the change in fair value of our investments caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, we and our reinsurance subsidiaries may need additional capital to maintain compliance with regulatory capital requirements and/or be required to post additional collateral under existing reinsurance arrangements, which could reduce our liquidity. In addition, we may experience continued volatility in our results of operations which could negatively impact our financial condition and create a reduction in the amount of available distribution or dividend capacity from our regulated reinsurance subsidiaries, which would also reduce liquidity.
Operational Disruptions. We rely on the continued productivity of our senior executive team, our employees, and agents, brokers, third party administrators, suppliers and outsourcing providers to carry out our operations. If any of these people are unable to continue to work productively, or at all, due to illness, government restrictions, remote working conditions, or other disruptions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, our ability to conduct our operations may be adversely affected. In addition, like many other companies, the vast majority of our employees are working remotely, and we are therefore more dependent on our information technology systems and the continued access by our employees and service providers to reliable internet and telecommunications systems. We will be adversely affected if these systems do not function effectively or are disrupted due to heightened demand, cybersecurity attacks and data security incidents, or for any other related reason. These types of operational disruptions that impact our people and/or systems and others we may not foresee, would negatively impact our ability to settle claims efficiently, complete acquisitions, integrate our acquired businesses, manage our investments, provide or submit timely filing requirements with the SEC and other regulators or otherwise conduct our business.
Claims. As described herein, the Company is not engaged in active reinsurance underwriting currently and is running off the remaining unearned exposures it has reinsured. Our IIS unit does write limited primary insurance coverages that could be exposed to COVID-19 claims.  While we assess our exposure to COVID-19 insurance and reinsurance claims on our existing insurance exposures and remaining reinsurance exposures as limited and immaterial, given the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the insurance industry, our preliminary estimates of losses and loss adjustment expenses and estimates of reinsurance recoverable arising from the COVID-19 pandemic may materially change. Unanticipated issues relating to claims and coverage may emerge, which could adversely affect our business by increasing the scope of coverage beyond our intent and/or increasing the frequency and severity of claims.
