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. ("Parent 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 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. 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 income.

~~As a result of a series of strategic actions the Company has taken in recent years as discussed below, we create~~Maiden creates shareholder value by actively managing and allocating our assets and capital, including through ownership and management of businesses and assets ~~mostly~~primarily in the insurance and related financial services industries where we can leverage our deep knowledge of those markets. We ~~also provide~~are currently underwriting reinsurance risks on a retroactive basis through our indirect wholly owned subsidiary Genesis Legacy Solutions ("GLS") which provides 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~~core. GLS works with clients to develop and implement finality solutions including acquiring entire ~~companies.~~companies that enable our clients to meet their capital and risk management objectives. We expect ~~our~~this legacy solutions business to contribute to our active asset and capital management strategies. The Company does not presently underwrite prospective reinsurance risks.

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 wholly owned subsidiary 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~~We also have various historic reinsurance programs underwritten by Maiden Reinsurance which are in ~~run-off. The Company continues to~~ run-off, including the liabilities associated with AmTrust Financial Services, Inc. ("AmTrust") reinsurance agreements which were terminated in 2019 as discussed in "Note ~~10 -~~10. Related Party Transactions". WeIn addition, 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 -~~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 from Bermuda to the State of Vermont in the U.S. and ceased active reinsurance underwriting. These transactions can be found in Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 that was filed with the SEC on March 15, 2021 and are more fully described (as applicable) in ~~"Note 8 - Reinsurance"~~ ~~and~~ ~~"Note 10 - Related Party Transactions"~~ ~~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, ~~2020~~2021 for further ~~details on the above transactions.~~details.

~~Re-domestication of Maiden Reinsurance~~Genesis Legacy Solutions

Effective ~~March 16, 2020, we re-domesticated~~October 1, 2021, GLS completed its first transaction, a loss portfolio transfer transaction which includes an adverse development cover and GLS continues to develop additional opportunities consistent with its business plan. This should further enhance our ~~principal operating subsidiary, Maiden Reinsurance, from Bermuda~~ability to pursue the ~~State~~asset and capital management pillars of ~~Vermont~~our business strategy. GLS and its subsidiaries have completed additional transactions in the ~~U.S., having determined that re-domesticating Maiden Reinsurance to Vermont enables us to better align our capital~~first quarter of 2022, and ~~resources with our liabilities, which originate mostly in the U.S., resulting in a more efficient structure. Maiden Reinsurance is now subject to the statutes and regulations~~as 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 now the group supervisor for the Company, the re-domestication did not apply to the Parent 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 in the aggregate.

1.~~Basis of Presentation (continued)~~

~~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 presently engaged in active reinsurance underwriting and is running off the remaining unearned exposures it has reinsured. The Company's Swedish and UK insurance operations ("IIS unit") 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 pandemic31, 2022, GLS and its ~~impact~~subsidiaries have insurance related liabilities totaling $37,120 which included total reserves of $29,175 and deferred gain on ~~the insurance industry, our preliminary estimates~~retroactive reinsurance 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 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.$7,945.

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, ~~2020 except for the following:~~

~~Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Updates~~

~~No new accounting standards have been recently adopted for thesix 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 Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting 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 recoverable on unpaid losses is currently the most significant financial asset 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 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 fiscal 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. This segment also includes transactions entered into by GLS which was formed in November 2020 as described in "Note 1. Basis of Presentation. Our AmTrust Reinsurance segment includes all business ceded to Maiden Reinsurance by AmTrust, primarily the quota share reinsurance agreement (“AmTrust Quota Share”) 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") 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. Please refer to "Note 10. Related Party Transactions" for additional 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.

The following tables summarize the underwriting results of our reportable segments and the reconciliation of our reportable segments' underwriting results to consolidated net income:

At December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, there were 5344 securities in an unrealized loss position with a fair value of ~~$166,564~~$252,895 and unrealized losses of ~~$3,567.~~$11,540. Of these securities in an unrealized loss position, there were 358 securities in our portfolio that have been in an unrealized loss position for twelve months or greater with a fair value of ~~$101,994~~$32,916 and unrealized losses of ~~$2,375.~~$3,405.

Other-than-temporarily impaired ("OTTI")

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, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, 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~~intend to sell ~~and for which we are~~or is not more likely than not tothat the Company will be required to sell before its anticipated recovery of their amortized cost basis is recognized in net ~~earnings,~~income, with the non-credit related impairment recognized in comprehensive ~~earnings.~~income.

Based on the Company's 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 in OTTI charges in earnings on 2 fixed maturity securities.~~ There was 0no impairment recorded for the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, ~~and the three months ended June 30, 2020.~~

b)Other Investments, Equity Securities and Equity Method Investments

Certain of the Company's other investments and equity method investments are subject to restrictions on redemptions and sales that are determined by the governing documents, which could limit our ability to liquidate those investments. These restrictions may include lock-ups, redemption gates, restricted share classes, restrictions on the frequency of redemption and notice periods. A gate is the ability to deny or delay a redemption request. Certain other investments and equity method investments may not have any restrictions governing their sale, but there is no active market and no guarantee that we will be able to execute a sale in a timely manner. In addition, even if certain other investments and equity method investments are not eligible for redemption or sales are restricted, the Company may still receive income distributions from those investments.

5. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

(a) Fair Values of Financial Instruments

Fair Value Measurements — Accounting Standards Codification 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:

~~MAIDEN HOLDINGS, LTD.~~

~~NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)~~

~~(in thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and per share data)~~

~~5. Fair Value Measurements (continued)~~

•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; and publicly traded equity securities;

•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 severity, 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 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 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 for 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, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

U.S. government and U.S. agency bonds — 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 bonds are included in the Level 2 fair value hierarchy.

Collateralized loan obligations ("CLO") - These asset backed securities are 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.

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 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 significant inputs used to price corporate and municipal bonds are observable market inputs, fair values are included in the Level 2 fair value hierarchy.

~~5. Fair Value Measurements (continued)~~

Equity securities - Equity securities include publicly traded common and preferred stocks, and privately held common and preferred stocks. The fair value of ~~equity securities~~publicly traded common and preferred stocks is primarily priced by pricing services, reflecting the closing price quoted for the final trading day of the period. ~~The common stock is~~These investments are 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 reporting period in which ~~they occur.~~it occurs. The privately held common and preferred stocks are valued using significant inputs that are unobservable where there is little or no market activity. Unadjusted third party pricing sources or management's assumptions and internal valuation models may be used to determine the fair values, therefore, these investments are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Other investments — Includes unquoted investments comprised of the following types of investments:

•~~Private equity~~Privately held investments: These are direct equity investments in common and preferred ~~stock~~shares of privately held entities. The fair values are estimated using quarterly financial statements and/or recent private market transactions and thus are included under Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to unobservable market data used for valuation.

•Private credit ~~lending investments:~~funds: These are privately held equity investments in common stock of entities that lend money valued using the most recently available or quarterly ~~NAV~~net asset value ("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:~~Private equity funds: These are comprised of private equity funds, private equity co-investments with sponsoring entities and investments in real estate limited partnerships and joint ventures. The fair value is estimated based on the most recently available NAV as advised by the external fund manager or 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 insurance focused companies. The fair value of these start-up insurance entities are determined using recent private market transactions where applicable and included in the Level 3 fair value hierarchy due to unobservable market data used for 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 valuation methodology whenever available. 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 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 consolidated 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 fair value.

The Pricing Service was utilized to estimate fair value measurements for ~~99.3%~~98.8% and ~~99.1%~~99.0% of our fixed maturities at ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively. The Pricing Service utilizes market quotations for fixed maturity securities that have quoted market prices in active markets. Since 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.

At ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, approximately ~~0.7%~~1.2% and ~~0.9%~~1.0%, respectively, of our fixed maturities were valued using the market approach. At ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, 1 security or ~~$6,545 (2020~~$5,595 (2021 - ~~2 securities~~1 security or ~~$10,809)~~$6,225) of our fixed ~~maturities~~maturity investment portfolio classified as Level 2 were priced using a quotation from a broker and/or custodian as opposed to the Pricing Service due to lack of information available. At ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company has not adjusted any pricing provided to it based on the review performed by its investment managers.

During the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2021, the Company transferred its equity investment in an insurtech start-up company focused on technological advancement in the automobile insurance industry out of Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy and into Level 1 due to the recent completion of ~~their~~its initial public offering. There were no transfers to or from Level 3 during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2020.~~

(d) Financial Instruments Disclosed, 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,~~March 31, 2022, 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~~the fair values of these financial instruments 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 -~~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. The following table presents the respective carrying value and fair value for the Senior Notes as at ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020:~~2021:

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~~three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021 ~~and 2020~~ was as follows:

The Company's reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses balance as at ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 was ~~$565,549~~$558,262 (December 31, ~~2020~~2021 - ~~$592,571)~~$562,845) presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. At ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company had 0no valuation allowance against reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses.

On 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 reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses due from Cavello under this retrocession agreement was ~~$62,541~~$67,633 at ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 (December 31, ~~2020~~2021 - ~~$67,972)~~$69,006).

On July 31, 2019, Maiden Reinsurance and Cavello entered into a Loss Portfolio Transfer and Adverse Development Cover Agreement ~~(the "LPT/~~("LPT/ADC 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. 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, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, the reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses under the ~~retroactive reinsurance agreement~~LPT/ADC Agreement was ~~$499,254~~$489,860 while the deferred gain liability under the LPT/ADC Agreement was ~~$54,254~~$44,860 (December 31, ~~2020~~2021 - ~~$519,941~~$490,860 and ~~$74,941,~~$45,860, 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 provided collateral in the form of a letter of credit in the amount of $445,000 to AmTrust under the LPT/ADC Agreement. Cavello is subject to additional collateral funding requirements as explained in "Note 10. Related Party Transactions". As of ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, the amount of collateral required was ~~$430,552.~~$405,029. 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 and Fitch Ratings at ~~June 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022.

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). In cases where the Company uses underwriting year information, reserves are subsequently allocated to the respective accident 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, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, the Company recognized net favorable prior year loss development of ~~$12,807~~ ~~and $18,361, respectively (2020~~$7,285 (2021 - favorable ~~$60 and $593, respectively)~~$5,554).

In the Diversified Reinsurance segment, net favorable prior year loss development was ~~$951 and $937, respectively,~~$2,211 for the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2021 (2020~~March 31, 2022 (2021 - adverse ~~$362 and favorable $171, respectively)~~$14). Prior year loss development for the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 was due to favorable reserve development in German Auto Programs and other runoff business. Prior year loss development for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was largely due to adverse reserve development in 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 following describes transactions that have transpired between the Company and AmTrust:

AmTrust Quota Share

Effective July 1, 2007, the Company and AmTrust entered into a master agreement, as amended ("Master Agreement"), by which they caused Maiden Reinsurance and AII to enter into the AmTrust Quota Share by which AII retroceded to Maiden Reinsurance an amount equal to 40% of the premium written by subsidiaries of AmTrust, net of the cost of unaffiliated inuring reinsurance and 40% of losses. The Master Agreement further provided that AII receive a ceding commission of 31% of ceded written premiums. On June 11, 2008, Maiden Reinsurance and AII amended the AmTrust Quota Share to add Retail Commercial Package Business to the Covered Business (as defined in the AmTrust Quota Share). AII receives a ceding commission of 34.375% on Retail Commercial Package Business. On July 1, 2016, the agreement was renewed through June 30, 2019. Effective July 1, 2018, the amount AEL ceded to Maiden Reinsurance was reduced to 20%.

Effective July 1, 2013, for the Specialty Program portion of Covered Business only, AII was responsible for ultimate net loss otherwise recoverable from Maiden Reinsurance to the extent that the loss ratio to Maiden Reinsurance, which shall be determined on an inception to date basis from July 1, 2007 through the date of calculation, is between 81.5% and 95% ("Loss Corridor"). Above and below the Loss Corridor, Maiden Reinsurance continued to reinsure losses at its proportional 40% share of the AmTrust Quota Share. Effective July 31, 2019, the Loss Corridor was amended such that the maximum amount covered is $40,500, the amount calculated by Maiden Reinsurance for the Loss Corridor coverage as of March 31, 2019. Any development above this maximum amount will be subject to the coverage of the LPT/ADC Agreement.

Effective January 1, 2019, Maiden Reinsurance and AII entered into a partial termination amendment ("Partial Termination Amendment") which amended the AmTrust Quota Share. The Partial Termination Amendment provided for the cut-off of the ongoing and unearned premium of AmTrust’s Small Commercial Business, comprising workers’ compensation, general liability, umbrella liability, professional liability (including cyber liability) insurance coverages, and U.S. Specialty Risk and Extended Warranty ("Terminated Business") as of December 31, 2018. Under the Partial Termination Amendment, the ceding commission payable by Maiden Reinsurance for its remaining in-force business immediately prior to January 1, 2019 increased by 5 percentage points with respect to in-force remaining business (excluding Terminated Business) and related unearned premium as of January 1, 2019. The Partial Termination Amendment resulted in Maiden Reinsurance returning $647,980 in unearned premium to AII, or $436,760 net of applicable ceding commission and brokerage as calculated during the second quarter of 2019.

Subsequently, on January 30, 2019, Maiden Reinsurance and AII agreed to terminate the remaining business subject to the AmTrust Quota Share on a run-off basis effective as of January 1, 2019.

Effective July 31, 2019, Maiden Reinsurance and AII entered into a Commutation and Release Agreement which provided for AII to assume all reserves ceded by AII to Maiden Reinsurance with respect to its proportional 40% share of the ultimate net loss under the AmTrust Quota Share related to the commuted business including: (a) all losses incurred in Accident Year 2017 and Accident Year 2018 under California workers' compensation policies and as defined in the AmTrust Quota Share ("Commuted California Business"); and (b) all losses incurred in Accident Year 2018 under New York workers' compensation policies ("Commuted New York Business"), and together with the Commuted California Business ("Commuted Business") in exchange for the release and full discharge of Maiden Reinsurance's obligations to AII with respect to the Commuted Business. The Commuted Business excludes any business classified by AII as Specialty Program or Specialty Risk business.

AII and Maiden Reinsurance also agreed that as of July 31, 2019, the AmTrust Quota Share was deemed amended as applicable so that the Commuted Business is no longer included as part of Covered Business under the AmTrust Quota Share.

On January 30, 2019, in connection with the termination of the reinsurance agreement described above, the Company and AmTrust entered into a second amendment to the Master Agreement between the parties, originally entered into on July 3, 2007, to remove the provisions requiring AmTrust to reinsure business with the Company.

European Hospital Liability Quota Share

Effective April 1, 2011, Maiden Reinsurance entered into the European Hospital Liability Quota Share with AEL and AIU DAC. Pursuant to the terms of the European Hospital Liability Quota Share, Maiden Reinsurance assumed 40% of the premiums and losses related to policies classified as European Hospital Liability, including associated liability coverages and policies covering physician defense costs, written or renewed on or after April 1, 2011. The European Hospital Liability Quota Share also covers policies written or renewed on or before March 31, 2011, but only with respect to losses that occur, accrue or arise on or after April 1, 2011. The maximum limit of liability attaching shall be €5,000 (€10,000 effective January 1, 2012) or currency equivalent (on a 100% basis) per original claim for any one original policy. Maiden Reinsurance paid a ceding commission of 5% on contracts assumed under the European Hospital Liability Quota Share.

Effective July 1, 2016, the European Hospital Liability Quota Share was amended such that Maiden Reinsurance assumes from AEL 32.5% of the premiums and losses of all policies written or renewed on or after July 1, 2016 until June 30, 2017 and 20% of all policies written or renewed on or after July 1, 2017. Thereafter, on January 30, 2019, Maiden Reinsurance, AEL and AIU DAC agreed to terminate the European Hospital Liability Quota Share on a run-off basis effective as of January 1, 2019.

The table below shows the effect of both of these quota share arrangements with AmTrust on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Income Statements for the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, ~~and 2020,~~ respectively:

Collateral provided to AmTrust

a) AmTrust Quota Share

To provide AmTrust's U.S. insurance subsidiaries with credit for reinsurance on their statutory financial statements, AII, as the direct reinsurer of AmTrust's insurance subsidiaries, established trust accounts ("Trust Accounts") for their benefit. Maiden Reinsurance has provided appropriate collateral to secure its proportional share under the AmTrust Quota Share of AII's obligations to the AmTrust subsidiaries to whom AII is required to provide collateral which can include (a) assets loaned by Maiden Reinsurance to AII for deposit into the Trust Accounts, pursuant to a loan agreement between those parties, (b) assets transferred by Maiden Reinsurance for deposit into the Trust Accounts, or (c) a letter of credit obtained by Maiden Reinsurance and delivered to an AmTrust subsidiary on AII's behalf. Maiden Reinsurance may provide any or a combination of these forms of collateral, provided that the aggregate value thereof equals Maiden Reinsurance's proportionate share of its obligations under the AmTrust Quota Share. Maiden Reinsurance satisfied its collateral requirements under the AmTrust Quota Share with AII as follows:

•by lending funds of $167,975 at ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020~~2021 pursuant to a loan agreement entered into between those parties. Advances under the loan are secured by promissory notes. This loan was assigned by AII to AmTrust effective December 31, 2014 and is carried at cost. Interest is payable at a rate equivalent to the Federal Funds Effective Rate ("Fed Funds") plus 200 basis points per annum. Interest income on the loan was ~~$866 and $1,726~~$879 for the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2021, respectively (2020~~March 31, 2022 (2021 - ~~$860 and $2,225, respectively)~~$860) and the effective yield was 2.1% ~~and 2.1%~~ for the ~~same respective periods (2020~~period (2021 - 2.0% ~~and 2.6%~~).

•on January 30, 2019, in connection with the termination of the reinsurance agreements described above, the Company and AmTrust amended the Loan Agreement between Maiden Reinsurance, AmTrust and AII, originally entered into on November 16, 2007, by extending the maturity date to January 1, 2025 and specifies that due to the termination of the AmTrust Quota Share, no further loans or advances may be made pursuant to the Loan Agreement;

10. Related Party Transactions (continued)

•effective December 1, 2008, the Company entered into a Reinsurer Trust Assets Collateral agreement to provide to AII sufficient collateral to secure its proportional share of AII's obligations to the U.S. AmTrust subsidiaries. The amount of the collateral at ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 was ~~$425,953~~$138,810 (December 31, ~~2020~~2021 - ~~$666,879)~~$246,874) and the accrued interest was ~~$1,937~~$416 (December 31, ~~2020~~2021 - ~~$3,048)~~$1,171). Please refer to "Note 4. (e) Investments" for additional information;

•on January 11, 2019, a portion of the existing Trust Accounts used for collateral on the AmTrust Quota Share were converted to a funds withheld arrangement. The Company transferred $575,000 to AmTrust as a funds withheld receivable which currently has an annual interest rate of 1.8%, subject to annual adjustment. The annual interest rate was ~~2.65%~~1.80% for the duration of ~~2020.~~2021. At ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, the funds withheld balance was $575,000 (December 31, ~~2020~~2021 - $575,000) and the accrued interest was ~~$2,580~~$2,552 (December 31, ~~2020~~2021 - ~~$3,845)~~$2,609). The interest income on the funds withheld receivable was ~~$2,580 and $5,132~~$2,552 for the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2021, respectively (2020~~March 31, 2022 (2021 - ~~$3,806 and $7,606, respectively)~~$2,552).

Pursuant to the terms of the LPT/ADC Agreement, Maiden Reinsurance, Cavello and AmTrust and certain of its affiliated companies entered into a Master Collateral Agreement (“MCA”) to define and enable the operation of collateral provided under the AmTrust Quota Share. 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. As a result of entering into both the LPT/ADC Agreement and the MCA, certain post-termination endorsements (“PTEs”) to the AmTrust Quota Share between AII and Maiden Reinsurance were required.

Effective July 31, 2019, the PTEs: i) enable the operation of both the LPT/ADC Agreement and MCA by making provision for certain forms of collateral, including letters of credit provided by Cavello on Maiden Reinsurance’s behalf, and further defines the permitted use and return of collateral; and ii) increase the required funding percentage for Maiden Reinsurance under the collateral arrangements between the parties to 105% of its obligations, subject to a minimum excess funding requirement of $54,000, as may be mutually amended by the parties from time to time. Under certain defined conditions, Maiden Reinsurance may be required to increase this funding percentage to 110%.

Effective March 16, 2020, Maiden Reinsurance discontinued as a Bermuda company and completed its re-domestication to the State of Vermont. Bermuda is a Solvency II equivalent jurisdiction and the State of Vermont is not such a jurisdiction; therefore, the collateral provided under the respective agreements with AmTrust subsidiaries was strengthened to reflect the impact of the re-domestication concurrent with the date of Maiden Reinsurance’s re-domestication to Vermont. Maiden Reinsurance and AmTrust agreed to: 1) amend the AmTrust Quota Share pursuant to Post Termination Endorsement No. 2 effective March 16, 2020; and 2) amend the European Hospital Liability Quota Share pursuant to Post Termination Endorsement No. 1 effective March 16, 2020.

Pursuant to the terms of Post Termination Endorsement No. 2 to the AmTrust Quota Share, Maiden Reinsurance strengthened the collateral protection provided by Maiden Reinsurance to AII by increasing the required funding percentage for Maiden Reinsurance under the collateral arrangements between the parties to 110% of its obligations, subject to a minimum excess funding requirement of $54,000, as may be mutually amended by the parties from time to time. Post Termination Endorsement No. 2 also sets forth conditions by which the funding percentage will be reduced and the sequence of how collateral will be utilized as obligations, as defined under the AmTrust Quota Share, are satisfied.

Pursuant to the terms of Post Termination Endorsement No. 1 to the European Hospital Liability Quota Share, Maiden Reinsurance strengthened the collateral protection provided by Maiden Reinsurance to AEL and AIU DAC by increasing the required funding percentage for Maiden Reinsurance under the collateral arrangements between the parties to the greater of 120% of the Exposure (as defined therein) and the amount of security required to offset the increase in the Solvency Capital Requirement (“SCR”) that results from the changes in the SCR which arise out of Maiden Reinsurance's re-domestication as compared to the SCR calculation if Maiden Reinsurance had remained domesticated in a Solvency II equivalent jurisdiction with a solvency ratio above 100% and provided collateral equivalent to 100% of the Exposure.

b) European Hospital Liability Quota Share

Collateral has been provided to both AEL and AIU DAC under the European Hospital Liability Quota Share. For AEL, the amount of the collateral held in reinsurance trust accounts at ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 was ~~$334,038~~$234,633 (December 31, ~~2020~~2021 - ~~$318,063)~~$244,488) and the accrued interest was ~~$2,227~~$1,538 (December 31, ~~2020~~2021 - ~~$2,283)~~$1,273). For AIU DAC, the Company utilizes funds withheld to satisfy its collateral requirements. At ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, the amount of funds withheld was ~~$29,424~~$25,755 (December 31, ~~2020~~2021 - ~~$28,093)~~$26,460) and the accrued interest was ~~$73~~$163 (December 31, ~~2020~~2021 - ~~$318)~~$141). AIU DAC pays Maiden Reinsurance a fixed annual interest rate of 0.5% on the average daily funds withheld balance which is subject to annual adjustment. The interest income on the funds withheld receivable was ~~$37 and $74~~$26 for the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2021 (2020~~March 31, 2022 (2021 - ~~$127 and $198, respectively)~~$37).

11. Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees

There are no material changes from the commitments, contingencies and concentrations previously disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020 except for the guarantees related to the indebtedness of others as disclosed in Note 11 (b) below.~~2021.

a)Concentrations of Credit Risk

At ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company’s assets where significant concentrations of credit risk may exist include investments, cash and cash equivalents, loan to related party, 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 in "Note ~~8 —~~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 balances are due from AmTrust. AmTrust has a financial strength/credit rating of A- (Excellent) from A.M. Best at ~~June 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022. 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, 2021~~March 31, 2022 will be fully collectible.

b)~~Other~~Investment Commitments and Related Financial Guarantees

The Company ~~has remaining~~had unfunded commitments on ~~its~~ other investments of ~~$66,351~~$67,278 at ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2022 (December 31, 2021 ~~(2020~~ - ~~$63,313)~~$68,262). ~~Please refer to~~ ~~"Note 4 (b) - Investments"~~ ~~for further details on~~The Company had unfunded commitments on equity method investments of $17,790 at ~~June 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022 (December 31, 2021 - $25,950).

MAIDEN HOLDINGS, LTD.

(in thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and per share data)

11. Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees (continued)

The Company's unfunded commitments on other investments held at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were as follows:


	March 31, 2022				December 31, 2021
	Fair Value		% of Total		Fair Value		% of Total
Private credit funds	$	3,771	5.6	%	$	4,897	7.2	%
Investments in direct lending entities	9,912		14.7	%	13,216		19.4	%
Other privately held investments	1,900		2.8	%	4,000		5.8	%
Private equity funds	51,695		76.9	%	46,149		67.6	%
Total unfunded commitments on other investments	$	67,278	100.0	%	$	68,262	100.0	%

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,~~March 31, 2022, guarantees of ~~$8,545 have been~~$36,231 (December 31, 2021 - $33,305) were provided to lenders by the Company on behalf of ~~the~~ real estate joint ~~venture,~~ventures, 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 2024. The ~~Company terminated one of its office leasing arrangements and its subleasing arrangement during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. The~~ Company's leases are currently classified as operating leases and none of them have non-lease components. For operating leases that have ~~an initial~~a lease term of more than twelve months, and whose lease payments are above a certain threshold, the Company recognizes a lease liability and a right-of-use asset in the 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. This amount of $427 is recorded as a lease liability within accrued expenses and other liabilities with an equivalent amount for the right-of-use asset presented as part of other assets ~~and is deemed insignificant~~ at ~~June 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022. The Company's weighted-average remaining lease term is approximately ~~3.0~~2.5 years at ~~June 30, 2021.~~ March 31, 2022.

d)Legal Proceedings

Except as noted below, the Company is not a party to any material legal proceedings. From time to time, the Company is subject to routine legal proceedings, including ~~arbitrations,~~arbitration, arising in the ordinary course of business. These legal proceedings generally relate to claims asserted by or against the Company in the ordinary course of insurance or reinsurance operations. Based on the Company's opinion, the eventual outcome of these legal proceedings is not expected to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

In April 2009, the Company learned that Bentzion S. Turin, the former Chief Operating Officer, General Counsel and Secretary of Maiden Holdings and Maiden Reinsurance, sent a letter to the U.S. Department of Labor claiming that his employment with the Company was terminated in retaliation for corporate whistle-blowing in violation of the whistle-blower protection provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Mr. Turin alleged that he was terminated for raising concerns regarding corporate governance with respect to the negotiation of the terms of the Trust Preferred Securities Offering. He seeks reinstatement as Chief Operating Officer, General Counsel and Secretary of Maiden Holdings and Maiden Reinsurance, back pay and legal fees incurred. On December 31, 2009, the U.S. Secretary of Labor found no reasonable cause for Mr. Turin’s

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. On March 29, 2013, the Administrative Review Board reversed the dismissal of the complaint on procedural grounds, and remanded the case to the administrative law judge. The administrative hearing began in September 2014 and concluded in November 2018. On September 2, 2021, Administrative Law Judge Theresa C. Timlin of the U.S. Department of Labor issued a decision and order which denied Mr. Turin’s complaint in full. On September 16, 2021, 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. The Company believes that it had good and sufficient reasons for terminating Mr. Turin's employment and that the claim is without merit. The Company will continue to vigorously defend itself against this claim.

11. Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees (continued)

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. On 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 we intend to vigorously defend 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~~company. 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.~~companies that enable our clients to meet their capital and risk management objectives. 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, particularly those in Europe and other global markets. These products also produced reinsurance programs which were underwritten by our wholly owned subsidiary Maiden Reinsurance Ltd. ("Maiden Reinsurance").

We are not ~~actively~~currently underwriting reinsurance business ~~presently~~on new prospective risks but are actively underwriting risks on a retroactive basis through GLS. We also have ~~some~~various historic reinsurance programs underwritten by Maiden Reinsurance which are in ~~run-off. We continue to~~ run-off, including the ~~underwriting~~ liabilities ~~related to our contracts~~associated with AmTrust Financial Services, Inc. ("AmTrust") which we terminated in ~~2019. We also~~2019 as discussed in "Note 10. Related Party Agreements" of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I Item 1. "Financial Information". In addition, we have a Loss 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 in run-off, as discussed in "Note 8. Reinsurance" of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements ~~included~~ in Part I Item 1. "Financial Information".

~~As discussed in Item 1. "Business~~" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the SEC on March 15, 2021, the sale of Maiden Reinsurance North America, Inc. ("Maiden US") and the termination of both of our quota share contracts with AmTrust 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.

Our business currently consists of two 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. This segment also includes transactions entered into by GLS which was formed in November 2020. Our AmTrust Reinsurance segment includes all business ceded to Maiden Reinsurance by AmTrust, primarily the quota share reinsurance agreement (“AmTrust Quota Share”) 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") with AmTrust’s wholly owned subsidiaries AmTrust Europe Limited ("AEL") and AmTrust International Underwriters DAC ("AIU DAC"), both of which are ~~both~~ in run-off effective January 1, 2019.

~~Recent Developments~~

Since the third quarter of 2018, we have engaged in a series of transactions that 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 loss 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.

The measures we have taken were initiated in 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 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, 2020 that was filed with the SEC on March 15, 2021.

Please refer to "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, ~~2020~~2021 for further ~~information.~~information on recent developments within the Company.

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. Securities issued by Maiden Holdings were not affected by the re-domestication of Maiden Reinsurance to Vermont. Concurrent with the re-domestication, Maiden Holdings contributed as capital the remaining 65% of its ownership in Maiden Reinsurance to our wholly owned subsidiaryWe believe Maiden Holdings North America, Ltd.'s ("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"~~NOL") ~~which were~~

~~$209.6~~of $235.7 million as of ~~June 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022. These ~~NOLs,~~NOL carryforwards, in combination with additional net deferred tax assets ("~~DTAs"~~DTA") of primarily related to our insurance liabilities result in a net U.S. DTA (before valuation allowance) of ~~$84.6~~$94.3 million or ~~$0.98~~$1.08 per common share ~~as of June 30, 2021.~~ at March 31, 2022.

These net ~~DTAs~~DTA are not presently recognized on the Company's consolidated balance sheet as a full valuation allowance is ~~currently~~ carried against them. At this time, while positive evidence in support of reducing the valuation allowance is accumulating, the Company believes it is necessary to maintain its full valuation allowance against the net U.S. DTA due to insufficient accumulation of evidence at this time regarding the utilization of these losses. As our profitability continues to improve, we will continuously evaluate the amount of the valuation allowance held against the net U.S. DTA.

For further details, please see "Note ~~16. Taxation"~~13. Income Taxes" included under Item 8 "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. 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.~~described above.

Business Strategy

We ~~continue~~continued to ~~re–evaluate~~deploy our revised operating strategy during ~~2021 while leveraging~~2022 which leverages 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~~in order to increase book value for our common shareholders, both near and long-term. This strategy has three principal areas of focus:

•Asset management - investing in assets and asset classes in a prudent but expansive manner in order to maximize investment returns and is principally enabled by limiting the amount of insurance risk we assume in relation to the assets we hold and maintaining required regulatory capital at very strong levels to manage our aggregate risk profile;

•Legacy underwriting - judiciously building a portfolio of legacy run-off acquisitions and retroactive reinsurance transactions which we believe will produce attractive underwriting returns; and

•Capital management - effectively managing the capital we hold on our balance sheet and when appropriate, repurchasing securities or ~~active reinsurance underwriting,~~returning capital to enhance common shareholder returns.

The returns expected to be produced by each pillar of our strategy are evaluated in relation to our cost of debt capital, which carries a weighted average effective interest rate of 7.6%. To the extent our experience or ~~a combination~~belief indicates we cannot exceed the cost of ~~both. Our~~debt capital, we expect to refrain from activities in those areas. As an example, our present assessment of the reinsurance marketplace along with our current operating profile iscontinues to be that the risk-adjusted returns that may be produced via active reinsurance underwriting of new prospective risks are likely to ~~present more limited opportunities compared to other strategic initiatives which may produce greater shareholder value. As a result,~~be lower over the long-term than 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 likelihoodcost of ~~fully utilizing the significant NOLs described above which may create additional shareholder value.~~capital.

The measures implemented ~~now enable~~in recent years have allowed 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~~all pillars of ~~these~~the strategies as discussed herein. We also believe that these areas of strategic focus will enhance our profitability through increased returns, which we believe also increase the likelihood of fully utilizing the significant NOL carryforwards described above which would create additional common shareholder value.

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. We believe these expanded activities will produce a broad range of positive impacts on our financial condition, including current income, longer-term gains and in certain instances, fee income.

~~Our capital management strategy is significantly informed by the required capital needed to operate our business~~In recent years, we have invested approximately $250.4 million into alternative investments which include equity securities, other investments and equity method investments in a ~~prudent manner~~wide variety of asset classes 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~~these activities will exceed that benchmark cost of capital with adjustments as necessary if those 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.do not emerge.

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.~~ companies that enable our clients to meet their capital and risk management objectives. We acquire legacy liabilities and (re)insurance reserves from companies and provide retroactive reinsurance coverage for portfolios of (re)insurance business, primarily via loss portfolio transfer contracts (“LPT”). Additionally, we provide reinsurance contracts to other (re)insurers to mitigate some of their risk of future adverse development (adverse development cover, or “ADC”) on insurance risks relating to prior accident years.

We believe the formation of GLS is highly complementary to our overall longer-term strategy. and will produce risk-adjusted returns in excess of our debt cost of capital. In addition, while we anticipate profitable growth from the GLS portfolio as it develops, we expect our required capital to continue to decline as insurance risk incurred by GLS will be more than offset by the run-off of insurance liabilities from our prior reinsurance strategies. GLS, along with other recent insurance industry investments, enables us to leverage our knowledge base while not re-entering active underwriting of new prospective 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~~

Effective October 1, 2021, GLS completed its first loss portfolio transfer transaction which includes an ADC cover. GLS and its subsidiaries have completed additional transactions in the first quarter of 2022 and as of March 31, 2022, GLS and its subsidiaries have insurance related liabilities totaling $37.1 million which included total reserves of $29.2 million and deferred gains on retroactive reinsurance of $7.9 million. GLS continues to write additional retroactive reinsurance transactions consistent with its business plan. In addition to producing returns that exceed the target cost of capital, we expect the business produced through GLS should further enhance our ability to pursue the asset and capital management pillars of our business strategy.

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 continue to increase 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 our 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 the capital management initiatives we initiated in 2020, although we have approached these strategies in a deliberate fashion.

On March 3, 2021, the Company's Board of Directors approved the repurchase, including the repurchase by Maiden Reinsurance in accordance with its investment guidelines, of up to $100.0 million of the Company's preference shares from time to time at market prices in open market purchases or as may be privately negotiated. On May 6, 2021, the Company's Board of Directors approved the additional repurchase, including the repurchase by Maiden Reinsurance in accordance with its investment guidelines, of up to $50.0 million of the Company's preference shares from time to time at market prices in open market purchases or as may be privately negotiated. The authorizations approved on March 3, 2021 and May 6, 2021 as described above are collectively referred to as "2021 Preference Share Repurchase Program". The Company has a remaining authorization of $10.7 million for preference share repurchases at March 31, 2022.

Please refer to "Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 6. Shareholders' Equity" under Item 8 "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" in Part I Item 1. "Financial Information" for recent repurchases and further detail on our preference shares.

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, we are not currently engaged in active reinsurance underwriting and continue to run off the remaining unearned exposures we have reinsured. Our Swedish and UK insurance operations ("IIS unit") do write limited primary insurance coverage 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 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

3934

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 Resources"~~ ~~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 our key financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income, management uses certain ~~key~~non-GAAP 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". These ~~key~~non-GAAP financial measures are:

Non-GAAP operating (loss) earnings and non-GAAP diluted operating (loss) earnings per common share: Management believes that the use of non-GAAP operating (loss) earnings and non-GAAP diluted operating (loss) earnings 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 (loss) earnings should not be viewed as a substitute for U.S. GAAP net income.

Non-GAAP operating (loss) earnings 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)~~(3) the portion of favorable or unfavorable prior year reserve development for which we have ceded the risk under ~~retroactive reinsurance agreements~~the LPT/ADC Agreement; and ~~related changes in amortization of the deferred gain liability; and (5)~~(4) interest in income of equity method investments. We have excluded net realized gains on investment, ~~OTTI losses,~~ interest in income of equity method investments and foreign exchange and other gains as we believe these are influenced by market opportunities and other factors. We do not believe that ceded risks under the LPT/ADC Agreement are representative of our ongoing and future business which are different to retroactive reinsurance ~~agreements~~risks written by GLS that 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, and therefore including them would distort the analysis of underlying trends in our operations.

Underwriting income (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)~~The Company no longer presents certain non-GAAP measures such 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 measureits related components in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, as it ~~is important to note~~believes that as the run-off of our reinsurance portfolios progresses, such ratios ~~may~~are increasingly benot meaningful and 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" under~~ ~~Item 1. "Financial Statements"~~ ~~of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further details.~~

While an important metric of success, underwriting income (loss) ~~and combined ratio do~~does not reflect all components of profitability, as ~~they do~~it does 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

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~~preference 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,~~income (loss), as defined above, ~~as well as the reported loss and LAE ratios and reported combined ratios~~ by excluding the portion 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. These 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 our underwriting 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 Debt to Adjusted Total Capital Resources and Adjusted Book Value per Common Share: Management has adjusted GAAP shareholders' equity by adding the following items to shareholders' equity: 1) unamortized deferred gain on ceded retroactive reinsurance ~~arising from~~under the LPT/ADC ~~Agreement~~Agreement; and 2) an adjustment which reflects the equity accounting related to ~~shareholders' equity.~~ the fair value of certain hedged liabilities within an equity method investment held by the Company wherein the ultimate realizable value of the asset supporting the hedged liabilities cannot currently be recognized at fair value ("LP Investment Adjustment").

The unamortized deferred gain on ceded retroactive reinsurance ~~arising from~~under 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 Debt to Adjusted Capital Resources and Adjusted Book Value per Common Share. The deferred gain liability on retroactive reinsurance under the LPT/ADC Agreement represents ~~amounts~~loss reserves 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 non-recurring retroactive reinsurance agreement is helpful to understand future trends in our operations, which will improve the Company's shareholders' equity over the settlement ~~period.~~or contract periods, respectively.

Alternative investments is the total of the Company's holdings of equity securities, other investments and equity method investments as reported on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Net Income

Net income available to Maiden common shareholders for the three months ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 was ~~$26.8~~$1.6 million compared to ~~$9.2~~$71.7 million for the same period in ~~2020.~~2021. The net ~~improvement~~decrease in results for the three months ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in ~~2020~~2021 was primarily due to the gain from repurchase of our preference shares ~~of $18.7~~which was $3.5 million for the three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2022 compared to $62.5 million for the same period in 2021.

Excluding the gain on the repurchase of our preference shares, net ~~income~~loss for the three months ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 was ~~$8.1~~$1.9 million compared to net income of ~~$9.2~~$9.3 million for the same period in ~~2020.~~2021. The ~~most significant items affecting our financial performance~~decrease in results as adjusted during the ~~second~~first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021 ~~on a comparative basis to the second quarter of 2020 included:~~was primarily due to:

•underwriting ~~income~~loss of ~~$8.5~~$1.7 million for the three months ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 compared to an underwriting ~~loss~~income of ~~$17.0 thousand~~$1.6 million in the same period in ~~2020. The improvement~~2021 largely due to:

◦significantly higher than expected negative premium adjustments in the AmTrust Reinsurance segment related to adjustments for estimated surcharges on Workers' Compensation policies and inuring AmTrust reinsurance for certain programs in Specialty Risk and Extended Warranty cessions (collectively the "AmTrust Cession Adjustments" which are discussed in greater detail in the AmTrust Reinsurance segment), net of commission and loss adjustments, which contributed an underwriting loss of $5.1 million to our reported results for the three months ended March 31, 2022;

◦excluding the AmTrust Cession Adjustments, the Company had underwriting income ~~was largely due to:~~of $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to underwriting income of $1.6 million for the same period in 2021 which consisted of the following:

◦favorable prior year loss development of ~~$12.8~~$2.2 million ~~or 92.5 percentage points~~ in the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2021~~2022 (adjusted for the AmTrust Cession Adjustments) compared to favorable prior year loss development of ~~$0.1~~$5.6 million ~~or 0.3 percentage points~~ during the same period in ~~2020. This was primarily generated by favorable prior year loss development in the AmTrust Reinsurance segment in the second quarter of~~ 2021; and ~~partially offset by:~~

◦anon a current accident year basis, underwriting ~~loss~~income of ~~$4.3~~$1.2 million for the three months ended ~~June 30, 2021 on a current accident year basis~~March 31, 2022 compared to an underwriting loss of ~~$0.1~~$4.0 million for the same period in ~~2020 on a current accident year basis,~~2021.

•total income from investment activities were $10.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $20.9 million for the same period in 2021 which was comprised of:

◦net investment income decreased to $6.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $9.8 million for the same period in 2021 primarily due to ~~higher loss ratios~~the decline in average fixed income assets of 29.6%;

◦realized and ~~higher general and administrative expenses, many~~unrealized gains on investment were $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to net realized gains of ~~which will be nonrecurring.~~$8.1 million for the same period in 2021;

◦interest in income of equity method investments was $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $2.9 million for the same period in 2021.

•corporate general and administrative expenses decreased to ~~$5.1~~$8.3 million for the three months ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 compared to ~~$6.8~~$11.8 million for the same period in ~~2020~~2021 due to ~~incentive compensation incurred in the second quarter of 2020;~~

•net investment income decreased to $7.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to investment income of $14.3 million for the same period in 2020 primarily due to the decline in average invested assets of 22.6%;

•~~realized gains on investment decreased to $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to net realized gains of $8.9 million for the same period in 2020; and~~

•~~interest in income of equity method investments of $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021.~~

Net income available to Maiden common shareholders for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $98.6 million compared to a net income of $30.1 million for the same period in 2020. The net improvement in our results for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 was primarily due to the gain from repurchase of our preference shares of $81.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Excluding the gain on the repurchase of our preference shares, net income for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $17.4 million compared to net income of $30.1 million for the same period in 2020. The most significant items affecting our financial performance during the six months ended June 30, 2021 on a comparative basis to the same period in 2020 included:

•underwriting income of $10.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to an underwriting loss of $3.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020. The improvement in underwriting income was largely due to:

◦favorable prior year loss development of $18.4 million or 71.0 percentage points for the first half of 2021 compared to favorable prior year loss development of $0.6 million or 1.1 percentage points for the first half of 2020 which had been incurred primarily within the AmTrust Reinsurance segment for each respective period. This was partially offset by:

◦an underwriting loss of $8.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 on a current accident year basis compared to an underwriting loss of $4.3 million for the same period in 2020 on a current accident year basis, due to higher expense ratios caused by a significant decrease in earned premium.

•net investment income decreased to $17.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $32.3 million for the same period in 2020, primarily due to the decline in average invested assets of 22.0%;

Net Loss and LAE — Net loss and LAE decreased by ~~$4.8~~$2.8 million or ~~79.3% and $10.4 million or 79.6%~~196.1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, compared to the same respective periods in 2020 due to lower earned premiums. Net loss and LAE ratio decreased to 16.6% and 19.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, compared with 51.3% and 52.9% during the same respective periods in 2020.

~~During~~ the three months ended ~~June 30, 2021, the net loss and LAE ratio decreased by 34.7 percentage points compared~~March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in ~~2020.~~ 2021 primarily due to the run-off of reinsurance liabilities associated with our German Auto programs.

The ~~2021~~net loss ~~ratio~~and LAE was impacted by favorable prior year loss reserve development which was ~~$951.0 thousand or 12.7 percentage points during~~$2.2 million for the three months ended ~~June 30, 2021~~ March 31, 2022 compared to ~~the impact of~~ adverse development of ~~$0.4 million or 3.1 percentage points on the loss ratio~~$14.0 thousand for the same period in ~~2020.~~2021. The favorable loss development for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was experienced in IIS and other run-off business while the adverse loss development in 2021 was ~~due to favorable development~~ experienced in European Capital Solutions and other run-off ~~business while the loss development in 2020 was driven by adverse experience in specific German Auto programs.~~business.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the net loss and LAE ratio decreased by 33.9 percentage points compared to the same period in 2020. The 2021 loss ratio was impacted by favorable prior year loss reserve development ~~of $937.0 thousand or~~ 6.7 percentage points during 2021, compared to the impact of favorable development of $0.2 million or 0.7 percentage points on the loss ratio in 2020. The 2021 development was driven by favorable experience in European Capital Solutions and other run-off business while the 2020 development was due to favorable experience in German Auto programs.

The impact on the net loss and LAE ratios should be considered in conjunction with the commission and other acquisition expense ratio as changes to either ratio can be effected by changes in the mix of business and the impact of increases in the commission and other acquisition expense rates on pro-rata contracts with loss sensitive features. As a result of these factors, as well as the impact on the loss ratio described above, the combined ratio increased by 13.2 and 6.2 percentage points for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, compared to the same respective periods in 2020.

Commission and Other Acquisition Expenses — Commission and other acquisition expenses ~~decreased~~increased by ~~$0.1 million~~$16.0 thousand or ~~1.8% and $1.1 million or 12.3%~~0.4% for the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2021, respectively,~~March 31, 2022 compared to the same ~~respective periods~~period in ~~2020 primarily due to lower net premiums earned which similarly decreased in this segment.~~2021.

The commission and other acquisition expense ratio for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 increased to 59.4% and 58.6%, respectively, compared to 37.1% and 37.8% for the same respective periods in 2020, reflecting the change in the mix of pro rata versus excess of loss premiums written compared to the same respective periods in 2020. Please refer to the preceding paragraph for other factors that can impact the combined ratio.

General and Administrative Expenses — General and administrative expenses increased by ~~$1.3~~$0.5 million or ~~73.7% and $1.2 million or 37.2%~~33.3% for the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2021, respectively,~~March 31, 2022 compared to the same ~~respective periods~~period in 2020. The general and administrative expense ratio increased to 40.4% and 32.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, compared to 14.8% and 13.6% for the same respective periods in 2020 largely due to lower net premiums earned which decreased significantly combined with higher non-recurring expenses. This included severance costs and certain regulatory costs of approximately $1.0 million incurred in our IIS business unit which have largely driven the increased expense ratios for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same respective periods in 2020.2021.

The overall expense ratio (including commission and other acquisition expenses) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 increased to 99.8% and 91.5%, respectively, compared to 51.9% and 51.4% for the same respective periods in 2020 largely due to net premiums earned which decreased combined with higher non-recurring expenses as discussed above.

The AmTrust Cession Adjustments contributed an underwriting loss of ~~$2.6~~$5.1 million ~~for~~to the ~~same respective periods in 2020. The improvement in the underwriting~~reported results ~~was largely due to impact of favorable prior year loss development~~ during the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2021.~~

March 31, 2022; excluding these adjustments the AmTrust Reinsurance segment had underwriting income of $1.9 million on the run-off of unearned premium for terminated AmTrust reinsurance contracts. The underwriting results ~~and associated ratios~~ for the AmTrust Reinsurance segment for the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021 ~~and 2020~~ were as follows:

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, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, the Company had investable assets of ~~$2.0~~$1.6 billion compared to ~~$2.3~~$1.7 billion as of December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. Investable assets are the combined total of our investments, cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash), loan to a related party and funds withheld receivable. The ~~decrease~~decline in our investable assets is primarily the result of our cessation of active reinsurance underwriting of new prospective risks in 2018 and 2019 which subsequently ~~results~~resulted in negative operating cash flows to settle claim payments from the run-off of the liabilities from that reinsurance portfolio in ~~2021.~~2022.

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, ~~2020,~~2021, that was filed with the SEC on March ~~15, 2021.~~14, 2022.

As previously indicated, Maiden Reinsurance re-domesticated from Bermuda to Vermont on March 16, 2020. We continue to be actively engaged with the Vermont ~~DFR~~Department of Financial Regulation ("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, including its activities via GLS and 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 Investment Policy, as approved and as ~~may be~~ amended, maintains our established investment management and governance 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 as well as for capital management such as repurchasing our shares.

Our business has undergone significant changes since 2018. ~~As previously noted, the Strategic Review resulted in~~We have entered into a series of transactions that have materially reduced our balance sheet risk and transformed our operations. As a result of ~~the~~these transactions, ~~entered into from the Strategic Review,~~ we are not engaged in ~~any~~ active underwriting of ~~reinsurance business~~new prospective risks thus our net premiums written will continue to be materially lower and investment ~~related~~ income will become a significantly larger portion of our total revenues. ~~This~~We are writing new retroactive risks through GLS, however this will be smaller in relation to the run-off of our prior reinsurance business. Despite the initial inflow of new business from GLS, this has ~~caused~~continued to cause significant negative operating cash flows as we run off the AmTrust Reinsurance segment 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 the trend of negative overall cash flows to continue to reduce our asset base going forward ~~into 2021~~through the remainder of 2022 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 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.

The Company’s management believes its current sources of liquidity are adequate to meet its cash requirements for the next twelve 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~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and unrestricted fixed maturity investments were ~~$189.3~~$74.6 million and ~~$269.2~~$81.1 million, respectively.

The decrease of $6.5 million in unrestricted ~~balances~~cash and fixed maturity investments during ~~2021~~2022 was ~~largely~~primarily the result of ~~$124.7~~$3.1 million utilized for the 2021 Preference Share ~~Repurchases, $21.6~~Repurchase Program, $14.1 million utilized for net purchases of equity securities and other investments, ~~and $17.9~~$3.9 million utilized for net purchases of equity method investments, ~~as described further in~~and $4.8 million for interest payments on the Senior Notes, partly offset by $15.0 million of excess collateral released by AmTrust. Please see the related discussion on investing and financing cash flows below.

The table below summarizes our operating, investing and financing cash flows for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and ~~2020:~~2021:

Cash Flows used in Operating Activities

Cash flows used in operating activities for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 were ~~$185.8~~$76.1 million compared to cash flows used in operating activities of ~~$419.2~~$102.8 million for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, a decrease of ~~$233.4~~$26.7 million. The operating cash flows used in operations for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021 ~~and 2020~~ were primarily the result of claims payments ~~from~~for the runoff of existing reserves for terminated AmTrust Quota Share and the European Hospital Liability Quota Share contracts ~~which produced negligible gross~~as well as return of premiums ~~written which were more than offset by claim payments from the run-off of existing reserves for loss and LAE under those agreements.~~due to AmTrust Cession Adjustments.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Cash flows from investing activities consist primarily of proceeds from the sales and maturities of investments and payments for investments acquired. Net cash provided by investing activities was ~~$251.0~~$86.1 million for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 compared to ~~$448.0~~$199.2 million for the same period in ~~2020~~2021 due to proceeds from the sale of fixed maturity investments which were made primarily to settle claim payments during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 as well as repurchase preference shares during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and ~~2020.~~2021.

For the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, the proceeds from the sales, maturities and calls exceeded the purchases of fixed maturity securities by ~~$290.1~~$104.1 million compared to net proceeds of ~~$453.0~~$205.1 million for the same period in ~~2020.~~2021. This was partly offset by ~~$21.6~~$14.1 million utilized for net purchases of other investments and ~~$17.9~~$3.9 million utilized for net purchases of equity method investments during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2021.~~

March 31, 2022.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Cash flows used in financing activities were ~~$127.2~~$3.9 million for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2022 compared to $99.9 million during 2021 due mainly to the repurchase of the Company's preference shares. During the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, the Company paid ~~$124.7~~$3.1 million for the repurchase of ~~8,517,037~~274,861 preference shares pursuant to the 2021 Preference Share Repurchase Program as part of its recent capital management ~~strategy.~~strategy compared to 6,614,493 preference shares repurchased by the Company during the first quarter of 2021 for aggregate total consideration of $97.4 million.

No dividends on common or preference shares were paid during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and ~~2020.~~2021. Our Board of Directors have not declared any common or preference share dividends since the ~~fourth~~third quarter of 2018.

Restrictions, Collateral and Specific Requirements

The Company's restrictions, collateral and specific requirements 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, ~~2020,~~2021, that was filed with the SEC on March ~~15, 2021.~~14, 2022.

At ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, restricted cash and cash equivalents and fixed maturity investments used as collateral were ~~$0.8 billion~~$468.5 million and ~~$1.1 billion,~~$582.1 million, respectively. This collateral represents ~~81.3%~~86.3% and ~~80.0%~~87.8% of the fair value of our respective total fixed maturity investments, cash, restricted cash and cash equivalents at ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively.

Cash and Investments

The investment of our funds has generally been designed to ensure safety of principal while generating current income. Accordingly, the majority of our funds ~~are~~have been invested in liquid, investment-grade fixed income securities which are all designated as ~~available-for-sale~~AFS at ~~June 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022. As of ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, our cash and investments consisted of:

Investments" included under Part I Item 1 "Financial Information" of this Form 10-Q for further discussion on our ~~available-for-sale~~AFS fixed income securities.

As our insurance liabilities continue to run-off and the required capital to operate our business for regulatory purposes decreases, we have modified Maiden Reinsurance’s investment policy (which has been approved by the Vermont DFR as noted) and have expanded the range of asset classes we invest in to enhance the income and total returns our investment portfolio produces. We categorize these investments as alternative investments which include "Other Investments", "Equity Securities", and "Equity Method Investments" as captioned on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. ~~During 2020 and 2021, under~~

Under this revised investment policy, we have increased the amount of alternative investments ~~in these categories,~~during 2022 and 2021, and we expect to continue to increase the amounts invested therein. Under our investment policy, alternative investments ~~included in these categories~~ could include, but are not limited to, privately held investments, private ~~equity,~~equities, private credit lending funds, fixed-income funds, hedge funds, equity funds, real estate (including joint ventures and limited partnerships) and other non-fixed-income investments.

For further details on ~~these other~~our alternative investments, in addition to the discussion of ~~these~~the investments herein, please see "Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) Note 4(b). Other Investments, Equity Securities 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 our 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, equity securities 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,~~While we believe the returns produced by these investments will exceed our cost of capital, in particular our cost of debt ~~capital. It~~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.

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. In addition, costs associated with evaluating, analyzing and monitoring these investments may require additional expenditures than traditional marketable securities. During 2022, our investment expenses associated with our alternative investments have decreased compared to 2021.

The substantial majority of our current and ~~planned~~ future investments are held by Maiden Reinsurance, whose investment policy ~~has been~~was 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,~~three months ended March 31, 2022, we utilized ~~$124.7~~$3.1 million in conjunction with the 2021 Preference Share ~~Repurchases.~~Repurchase Program. As of March 31, 2022, we have cumulatively invested $168.9 million in the preference shares of Maiden ~~Reinsurance has received all necessary approvals for its investment policy.~~Holdings.

Cash & Cash Equivalents

At ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we consider the levels of cash and cash equivalents ~~we are holding~~held to be within our targeted ranges. During periods when interest rates experience greater volatility, we have periodically maintained more cash and cash equivalents to better assess current market conditions and opportunities within our defined risk appetite, and may do so in future periods.

Fixed Maturity Investments

The average yield and average duration of our fixed maturities, by asset class, and our cash and cash equivalents (restricted and unrestricted) are as follows at ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively:

During the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury bond increased by 5280 basis points to ~~1.45%~~2.32%. 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 upward shift during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, reflecting concerns about ~~potential~~ongoing inflation emanating from the combination of: 1) ~~growing confidence in~~the strength of the U.S. ~~economic outlook~~economy as the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to abate; 2) ~~enactment~~geopolitical instability in Eastern Europe which threatened additional inflation and global economic stability; 3) the levels of ~~additional significant~~ fiscal stimulus ~~legislation in~~administered by the U.S.; federal government to support the economy; and ~~3) continued accommodative~~4) the anticipated monetary policy ~~pursued~~responses by central banks ~~globally.~~globally in light of these other circumstances, which indicate measures which may increase interest rates broadly .

The movement in the market values of our fixed maturity portfolio during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 generated net unrealized losses of ~~$22.4 million.~~$22.7 million which reduced our book value per common share by $0.26 during that period. Current outlooks for global monetary policy indicate that substantial quantitative tightening by central banks in the U.S. and globally is underway and appear likely to continue for at least the near term. Our investment portfolios, in particular our fixed maturity portfolio, may be adversely impacted by unfavorable market conditions caused by ~~the COVID-19 pandemic,~~these measures, which could cause continued volatility in our results of operations and negatively impact our financial condition.

Interest 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, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, the aggregate hypothetical change in fair value from an immediate 100 basis points increase in interest rates, assuming credit spreads remain constant, in our fixed maturity investments portfolio would decrease the fair value of that portfolio by ~~$27.8~~$15.7 million. Actual shifts in interest rates may not change by the same magnitude across the maturity spectrum or on an individual security and, as a result, the impact on the fair value of our fixed maturity securities may be materially different from the resulting change in 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, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, these respective durations in years were as follows:

June 30, 2021 December 31, 2020
Fixed maturities and cash and cash equivalents 2.1 2.1
Reserve for loss and LAE(1)
4.2 3.9

(1) The duration regarding our reserve for loss and LAE at June 30, 2021 is gross of LPT/ADC Agreement reserves. On a net basis, the duration of our reserve for loss and LAE is 0.9 years at June 30, 2021 (December 31, 2020 - 0.9 years).


	March 31, 2022	December 31, 2021
Fixed maturities and cash and cash equivalents	1.4	1.5
Reserve for loss and LAE - gross of LPT/ADC Agreement reserves	4.4	4.4
Reserve for loss and LAE - net of LPT/ADC Agreement reserves	1.4	1.4

During the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, the weighted average duration of our fixed maturity investment portfolio ~~remained unchanged at 2.1~~decreased 0.1 years to 1.4 years while the duration for the reserve for loss and LAE ~~increased by 0.3 years to 4.2~~remained at 4.4 years. 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,~~March 31, 2022, the duration of our fixed maturity investment portfolio decreased compared to December 31, 2021 due to sales of fixed maturity investments primarily made to settle claim payments with AmTrust. At March 31, 2022, the duration of our loss reserves net of the LPT/ADC Agreement was ~~lower than~~consistent with the duration of our fixed maturity investment portfolio.

To limit our exposure to unexpected interest rate increases that could reduce the value of our fixed maturity securities and reduce our shareholders' equity, the Company holds floating rate securities whose fair values are less sensitive to interest rates. At ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, 25.3% and 23.6%, respectively, of the Company’s fixed income investments are floating-rate securities. The floating rate investment holdings at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were as follows:


	March 31, 2022				December 31, 2021
($ in thousands)	Fair Value		% of Total		Fair Value		% of Total

Total returns on fixed income investments were adversely impacted by the increase in interest rates during the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to same period in 2021. Total returns on alternative investments were positive for the three months ended March 31, 2022 partly due to the sale of an equity method investment which produced gross returns of $5.8 million which contributed 2.4% to the gross investment returns during the current period. On a percentage basis however, the investment returns in 2022 were lower compared to the same period in 2021 due to higher average invested assets in 2022. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, gross investment returns included unrealized gains of $4.5 million from an investment in an insurtech start-up company that was acquired by a special purpose acquisition company which contributed 4.0% to the gross investment returns for the prior year period.

The Company's deferred commission and other acquisition expenses decreased by ~~17.7%~~10.9% and unearned premiums decreased by ~~17.8%~~11.2% primarily due to the Partial Termination Amendment with AmTrust on a cut-off basis and the termination of the remaining business under both quota share contracts with AmTrust which ~~are now~~have been in run-off ~~with no new business written beginning~~since January 1, 2019.

Accrued expenses and other liabilities increased by ~~12.9%~~46.4% as at ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 compared to December 31, ~~2020~~2021 due to reinsurance balances payable as a result of claims incurred under the run-off of AmTrust reinsurance contracts. The Company's reserve for loss and LAE decreased by ~~11.6%~~6.9% primarily due to the payment of prior year loss claims as well as favorable loss development recognized for the AmTrust Reinsurance segment.

The ~~decrease~~increase in ~~the~~ deferred ~~gain~~gains on retroactive reinsurance for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 by ~~27.6%~~7.9% is attributable to ~~$20.7~~new retroactive reinsurance business assumed by GLS partly offset by $1.0 million in loss and LAE recognized as favorable loss development in the ~~Company’s GAAP income statement that are~~AmTrust Reinsurance segment covered by the LPT/ADC Agreement. ~~This~~The favorable loss development on reserves covered by the LPT/ADC Agreement also impacted the reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses which decreased by ~~$27.0~~$4.6 million or ~~4.6%~~0.8% as at ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 compared to December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

Capital Resources

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, book value per common share decreased by 5.0% to $2.47 and diluted book value per common share decreased by 5.0% to $2.46, compared to December 31, 2021. This was largely due to a net loss of $1.9 million and net decrease in AOCI of $12.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022, partially offset by the $3.5 million gain on the 2021 Preference Share Repurchase Program during the first quarter which increased book value by $0.04 per common share.

Capital resources consist of funds deployed in support of our operations. ~~In the six months ended June 30, 2021,~~our total capital resources decreased by $123.6 million, or 15.6% compared to December 31, 2020 primarily due to repurchases of our preference shares and unrealized losses on our fixed maturity investment portfolio partially offset by net income attributable to common shareholders.

~~The major factors contributing to the net decrease in total~~Total capital resources ~~were primarily due to total shareholders' equity at June 30, 2021 which~~ decreased by ~~$123.6~~$16.6 million, or ~~23.4%~~2.6% at March 31, 2022 compared to December 31, ~~2020~~2021 primarily due to the ~~following factors:~~decrease in total shareholders'' equity as follows:

•net decrease of ~~$124.7~~$3.1 million from the 2021 Preference Share ~~Repurchases~~Repurchase Program composed of a decline in preference share capital of ~~$212.9~~$6.9 million partly offset by: (1) a gain on repurchase of preference shares of ~~$81.2~~$3.5 million for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 which increased retained earnings; and (2) a net increase in additional paid-in capital of ~~$7.1~~$0.2 million relating to proportionate share in issuance costs of preference shares repurchased, which was previously recognized as a reduction in additional paid-in capital;

•net decrease in AOCI of ~~$18.1~~$12.6 million which arose due to: (1) net unrealized losses on investment of ~~$25.7~~$18.2 million resulting largely from ~~the net~~a decrease in the fair value of $22.7 million for our fixed income investment portfolio relating to market price movements due to rising interest rates during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2021;~~March 31, 2022 offset by $4.4 million related to equity method investments; less (2) an increase in cumulative translation adjustments of ~~$7.6~~$5.6 million due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar on the remeasurement of net insurance-related liabilities denominated in euro during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2021; partly offset by:~~March 31, 2022;

•net ~~income~~loss attributable to Maiden of ~~$17.4~~$1.9 million for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2021;~~March 31, 2022; and partly offset by:

•net increase due to share-based compensation of ~~$1.8~~$1.0 million.

This was primarily due to the gain of $81.2 million on the 2021 Preference Share Repurchases which increased book value by $0.94 per common share. Book value also increased due to net income of $17.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021, partially offset by a net decrease in AOCI of $18.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Common Shares

On February 21, 2017, the Company's Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to $100.0 million of the Company's common shares from time to time at market prices. During the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, the Company did not repurchase any common shares under its share repurchase authorization as it is precluded from repurchasing its common shares due to its failure to pay dividends on its preference shares. Until such time as dividends on preference shares are paid, the Company will not be able to repurchase or pay dividends on its common shares. At ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, the Company had a remaining authorization of $74.2 million for share repurchases.

On October 25, 2019, the Company transferred the listing of its common shares from the NASDAQ Global Select Market to the NASDAQ Capital Market. The NASDAQ Capital Market is a continuous trading market that operates in substantially the same manner as the NASDAQ Global Select Market and listed companies must meet certain financial requirements and comply with the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC’s (“NASDAQ”) corporate governance requirements. The Company’s common shares 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. On June 2, 2020, the Company issued a press release announcing it had regained compliance with NADSAQ’s mimimum bid price and all applicable listing requirements for continued listing, and the appeal hearing was canceled. Accordingly, the Company's common shares continue to be listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market.

Preference Shares

As part of the capital management pillar of our strategy, pursuant to the cash tender offer on December 24, 2020, Maiden Reinsurance accepted for purchase (i) 545,218 shares of the Company's 8.25% Non-Cumulative Preference Shares Series A, (ii) 1,203,466 shares of the Company's 7.125% Non-Cumulative Preference Shares Series C and (iii) 1,078,911 shares of the Company's 6.7% Non-Cumulative Preference Shares Series D (collectively referred to as the "2020 Tender Offer"). The acquisition by Maiden Reinsurance of the preference shares pursuant to the tender offer was made in compliance with Maiden Reinsurance's investment policy previously approved b~~y the Vermont DFR.~~ ~~Maiden Reinsurance used unrestricted cash of $29.7 million to repurchase the preference shares pursuant to the 2020 Tender Offer.~~

On March 3, 2021, the Company's Board approved the repurchase, including the repurchase by Maiden Reinsurance within its investment guidelines, of up to $100.0 million of the Company's preference shares. On May 6, 2021, the Company's Board of Directors approved the additional repurchase, including the repurchase by Maiden Reinsurance in accordance with its investment guidelines (as may be amended), of up to $50.0 million of the Company's preference shares from time to time at market prices in open market purchases or as may be privately negotiated. The authorizations that were approved on March 3, 2021 and May 6, 2021 are collectively referred to as the "2021 Preference Share Repurchase Program".

The principal purpose of the ~~2020 Tender Offer and~~ 2021 Preference Share Repurchase Program is to adjust our capital structure to reflect current operations and the amount of capital required to operate Maiden Reinsurance. The Board has not declared or paid a dividend on the preference shares since ~~the fourth quarter of~~ 2018 and there can be no assurance that it will declare and pay dividends on the preference shares in the future. The preference shares are perpetual and there is no fixed date on which we are required to redeem or otherwise repurchase them.

Please refer to "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 6. Shareholders' Equity" under Part 1 Item 1 "Financial Information" of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information on our preference shares, including a summary of repurchases made of the Company's preference shares during the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2021.~~ ~~As of~~ ~~June 30, 2021, the~~March 31, 2022. The Company ~~had~~has a remaining authorization of ~~$25.3~~$10.7 million for preference share repurchases.

Senior Notes

There were no changes in the Company’s Senior Notes at ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 compared to December 31, ~~2020~~2021 and the Company did not enter into any short-term borrowing arrangements during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022. Please refer to "Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) Note 7. Long Term Debt" included under Part I Item 1 "Financial Information" of this Form 10-Q for a discussion of the Company’s Senior Notes.

The ratio of Debt to Total Capital Resources at ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020~~2021 was computed as follows:

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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 as further described in the "Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) Note 11. Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees" included under Part I Item 1 "Financial Information" of this Form 10-Q.

As discussed above, at ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, guarantees of ~~$8.5~~$36.2 million 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.

Non-GAAP Measures

As defined and described in the Key Financial Measures section, 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 calculation, reconciliation to nearest GAAP measure and discussion of relevant non-GAAP measures used by management are as follows:

Non-GAAP operating ~~earnings were $13.9~~loss was $6.9 million for the three months ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 compared to non-GAAP operating earnings of ~~$1.2~~$47.3 million for the same period in ~~2020.~~ 2021. The reduction in non-GAAP operating results was largely due to:

• gains of $3.5 million from the repurchase of preference shares at market values for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to gains of $62.5 million for preference share repurchases during the same period in 2021;

• underwriting loss of $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to underwriting income of $1.6 million for 2021 largely due to the AmTrust Cession Adjustments which contributed an underwriting loss of $5.1 million to the reported results during the three months ended March 31, 2022; and

• lower net investment income which decreased by $3.3 million compared to 2021.

The Company's non-GAAP operating results included a non-GAAP underwriting loss of ~~$2.4~~$2.7 million for the three months ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 compared to an underwriting loss of ~~$1.4~~$8.3 million for the same period in ~~2020,~~2021, due to underwriting results 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.

~~Non-GAAP~~operating earnings were $61.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to a non-GAAP operating earnings of $4.4 million for the same period in 2020. The Company's non-GAAP operating results included a non-GAAP underwriting loss of $10.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to a non-GAAP underwriting loss of $5.1 million for the same period in 2020, due to underwriting results 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) and claims related to the European Hospital Liability Quota Share.

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 favorable prior year loss reserve development ~~related to~~under the AmTrust Quota Share which is fully recoverable from Cavello ~~and subject to~~under 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~~decrease in the deferred gain under the LPT/ADC Agreement of ~~$10.8 million and $20.7~~$1.0 million during the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2021, respectively,~~March 31, 2022, the non-GAAP underwriting loss was ~~$2.4 million and $10.7 million, respectively.~~$2.7 million. This compared to a non-GAAP underwriting loss of ~~$1.4~~$8.3 million ~~and an underwriting loss of $5.1 million for the same respective periods in 2020~~ when adjusted for the ~~impact of favorable prior year reserve development subject to~~decrease in the deferred gain under the LPT/ADC Agreement of ~~$1.4~~$9.8 million during the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2021.

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~~Underwriting income in the Diversified Reinsurance segment during the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2021 and 2020 were relatively stable.~~

~~The non-GAAP combined ratio during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was 153.9% and 206.6%, respectively,~~March 31, 2022 increased by $1.7 million compared to ~~138.4% and 134.3% during~~ the same ~~respective periods~~period in ~~2020 as shown in the table below:~~

Non-GAAP Net Loss and LAE

Adjusted for the ~~impact of~~decrease in the deferred gain for the LPT/ADC Agreement, the non-GAAP net loss and LAE for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased by $1.0 million (2021 - $9.8 million), as these amounts included favorable ~~prior year~~ loss ~~development on~~experience for AmTrust reserves subject to the LPT/ADC Agreement ~~non-GAAP net loss and LAE for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 increased by $10.8 million and $20.7 million, respectively, as this amount is~~which are ultimately recoverable from Cavello. In comparison, adjusted for the impact of favorable prior year loss development on AmTrust reserves subject to the LPT/ADC Agreement during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the non-GAAP net loss and LAE increased by $1.4 million as these reserves are ultimately recoverable from Cavello.

This adjustment is reflected in the calculation of non-GAAP Loss and LAE as shown below:

Adjusted for the impact of favorable prior year loss development on AmTrust reserves subject to the LPT/ADC Agreement of ~~$10.8 million and $20.7~~$1.0 million during the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2021, respectively,~~March 31, 2022 (2021 - $9.8 million), non-GAAP net loss and LAE was ~~$5.5~~$(1.3) million and $17.7 million, respectively, as shown in the table above. Adjusted for the impact of favorable prior year loss development on AmTrust reserves subject to the LPT/ADC Agreement of $1.4 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the non-GAAP loss and LAE was $12.4 million and $33.5 million, respectively.

~~The non-GAAP net loss and LAE ratio was 39.8% and 68.5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, compared to 57.6% and 63.0% for the same respective periods in 2020.~~(2021 - $12.2 million).

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, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020~~2021 reflect the addition of the unamortized deferred gain ~~on retroactive reinsurance~~under the LPT/ADC Agreement to the GAAP shareholders' equity as depicted in the computations below. The ~~estimated~~ deferred gain ~~of $54.3~~under the LPT/ADC Agreement was $44.9 million at ~~June 30, 2021 and $74.9~~March 31, 2022 compared to $45.9 million at December 31, ~~2020 arises from the LPT/ADC Agreement with Cavello relating~~2021, and relates to ~~losses~~loss reserves subject to that agreement ~~which~~that are fully recoverable from Cavello.

The decrease in the unamortized deferred gain ~~on retroactive reinsurance~~under the LPT/ADC Agreement for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 is attributable to ~~$20.7~~$1.0 million in loss and ~~loss adjustment expenses~~LAE 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~~this unamortized deferred gain in these metrics better reflects the ultimate economic benefit of the LPT/ADC Agreement, which will improve the Company's shareholders' equity over the settlement period under the terms of the agreement.

The Adjusted Shareholders' Equity, Adjusted Total Capital Resources and Adjusted Book Value per Common Share at December 31, 2021 also reflected the LP Investment Adjustment of $4.1 million, which pertained to the equity accounting related to the fair value of certain hedged liabilities in an equity method investment held by the Company wherein the ultimate realizable value of the asset supporting the hedged liabilities was not recognized at fair value until its sale in the three months

ended March 31, 2022. We believe that this adjustment recognized the future realizable value and reflected the ultimate economic benefit of this investment which was sold at a realized gain in the three months ended March 31, 2022 and improved the Company's shareholders' equity over the hedged contract period of the investment.

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, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, 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 $1.2 million and foreign exchange~~ gains of ~~$2.2~~$3.9 million were generated during the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2021, respectively,~~March 31, 2022 compared to net foreign exchange ~~losses of $2.1 million and net foreign exchange~~ gains of ~~$6.3~~$3.4 million for the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2020, respectively.~~March 31, 2021.

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, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, 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.
