Preemptive Rights, Warrants and Options

The DLLCA does not provide any statutory preemptive rights.

Except as may be set forth in any Share Designation, our LLC Agreement does not provide shareholders with any preemptive, preferential or similar rights with respect to the issuance of our shares. The DLLCA does not restrict the ability of our Boarddirectors to issue warrants or options in circumstances where they consider in good faith that the interests of the company are served thereby.relating to our underlying shares.

Dividends and Distributions

Our LLC Agreement authorizes the Board, subject to the applicable provisions of the DLLCA, to declare and pay distributions of cash or other assets to the shareholders at any time, and from time to time, subject to the terms of any Share Designation.

Under the DLLCA, a limited liability company may not applymake a distribution to us because we are not admittedits shareholders if, after giving effect to listingthe distribution, the liabilities of the limited liability company (other than liabilities to members on account of their limited liability company interests and liabilities for which the recourse of creditors is limited to specified property of the limited liability company) would exceed the fair value of its assets (except that the fair value of property that is subject to a liability for which the recourse of creditors is limited shall be included in the Cayman Islands.assets of the limited liability company only to the extent that the fair value of that property exceeds that liability).

Dividends

Under Cayman law, dividends andExcept as may be set forth in any Share Designation, any distributions may only be made from distributable reserves. Distributable reserves, broadly, means our accumulated realized profits less our accumulated realized losses on a standalone basis, together with amounts standing to the credit of the company’s share premium account. The share premium account is an account maintained in our books and records that records the excess of the consideration paid (or deemed to have been paid) upon the initial issuance of any share over the par value of that share. Distributions may not be made from the share premium account unless, immediately thereafter, the company is able to meet its obligations in the ordinary course as they fall due.

The determination as to whether or not we have sufficient distributable reserves (including in respect of share premium) to fund a dividend is a determination to be madedeclared by the Board by reference to the legal, financial and accounting information available to it. As a matter of Cayman law, we are required to maintain accounts that give a “true and fair view” of the state of our affairs and to explain its transactions. Cayman law does not require us to file annual accounts in the Cayman Islands.

Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides that dividends maymust be declared by the company in general meeting, but no dividends shall exceed the amount recommended by the Board. However, the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association authorizes the Board to declare such interim dividends as appear justified from our profits without the approval of the shareholders. The dividends can be declared and paid in the form of cash ornon-cash assets, subject to applicable law. The Board may deduct from any dividend or other moneys payable to any shareholder all sums of money, if any, due from the shareholder to us in respect of shares of the company.

Subject to certain limited exceptions, no dividends may be paid on our ordinary shares unless all necessary provisions, where relevant, have been made for payment of any preference dividend in respect of any preference shares then in issue.

The Board is also authorized to issue shares in the future with preferred rights to participate in dividends declared by us. The holders of such preference shares may, depending on their terms, rank senior to the holders of our ordinary shares with respect to dividends.

On December 27, 2017, the Company announced the adoption of a dividend program with an anticipated initial dividend rate of $0.25 per share per quarter ($1.00 per share per year). Payment of dividends is subject to future determinations by the Board of Directors based on the Company’s results, financial conditions, amounts required to grow the Company’s business,Class A Common Shares and other factors deemed relevant by the Board.

Share Repurchases, Redemptions and Conversions

Repurchases and Redemptions

Under Cayman law, a company can issue redeemable shares and redeem or repurchase them out of distributable reserves (which are described above under “Dividends”), including share premium, or the proceeds of a new issue of shares made for that purpose. Shareholder approval will not be required to redeem our redeemable ordinary shares.

Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association allows for the conversion of anyClass B ordinary share to an A ordinary share if (i) the holder of a B ordinary share (the Holder) wishes to effect such a conversion, or (ii) a person (the Transferee) agrees a transfer of the shares (the Affected Shares) with the Holder, whether or not for value. Conversion may be effected by means of redemption and issue of a new share. In that instance AffectedCommon Shares are converted to redeemable shares and redeemed by us for their aggregate nominal value immediately before any anticipated conversion or transfer. The Affected Shares are either cancelled or held as treasury shares. We then pay the redemption amount for the Affected Shares to a nominated third party. That third party holds the redemption sum on trust and applies it to pay for an issue of A ordinary share equal in number to the Affected Shares. There is one exception to conversions on transfer. Where the proposed transfer is to an existing holder of B ordinary share or an affiliate of an existing holder of B ordinary share, the B ordinary share concerned is redeemed and a new B ordinary share (rather than an A ordinary share) is issued to the Transferee.

We may also be given authority to purchase our own shares, including on a recognized stock exchange such as NASDAQ oroff-market purchases, in such manner as our shareholders may approve by ordinary resolution. Our shareholders have not to date approved any manner of repurchase.

The Board has the authority to issue other preference or otherpro rata basis. Any additional classes or series of shares created by the Board pursuant to a Share Designation may rank senior, equal or junior to the Class A Common Shares and Class B Common Shares with respect to distributions. Our LLC Agreement authorizes us to withhold from payments or other distributions to shareholders, and to pay over to any U.S. federal, state or local government or any foreign government, any amounts required to be so withheld pursuant to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any other applicable tax law.

Share Repurchases, Redemptions and Conversions

Our LLC Agreement authorizes the Board to (i) issue shares that may, or are required to, be redeemed at the option of either usthe shareholder or the Company and (ii) purchase any class or series of shares from any shareholders, in each case, on such terms and in such manner as the Board determines.

Each Class B Common Share is convertible at any time, at the option of the holder depending onthereof, into such number of fully paid and non-assessable Class A Common Shares at the terms of such shares. Please see “—Capital Structure—Authorized Share Capital” abovethen-applicable “Conversion Ratio” set forth in our LLC Agreement. The Conversion Ratio initially is 1:1, and is subject to adjustment for additional information on preference shares.

Our repurchased and redeemed shares may be cancelledany share dividends or held as treasury shares. Subject to the requirement that there be oneforward or reverse share issued and outstanding that is not a treasury share, there is no restriction onsplits, or any other reclassification or other similar transaction affecting the number or composition of treasurythe Class A Common Shares or Class B Common Shares, in each case, where the other class of common shares has not been proportionately affected thereby.

If the Board determines that we may hold. While we hold shares as treasury shares, we cannot exercise any voting rights in respectshareholder’s ownership of those shares and no dividend or other payment can be paid to us in respect of those shares. Treasury shares may be cancelled by us orre-issued subject to certain conditions.

Under Cayman law, it is permissible for a subsidiary to purchase our shares eitheron-market oroff-market without restriction. Any such shares will not be regarded as treasury shares.

Bonus Shares

Under our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, subject to the Board’s authority to issue and allot shares, the Board may resolve to capitalize any amount standing to the credit of reserves (including a share premium account, capital redemption reserve and profit and loss account), whether or not available for distribution or credited to the profit and loss account, and use such amount for the issuance to shareholders of shares as fully paid bonus shares on the same basis of entitlement as would apply in respect of a dividend distribution.

Consolidation and Division; Subdivision

Pursuant to the provisions of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, we may by ordinary resolution: (a) consolidate and divide all or any of our share capital into shares of a larger amount than our existing shares; (b) convert all or any of our paid up shares into stock and reconvert that stock into paid up shares of any denomination; (c) subdivide our existing shares, or any of them into shares of a smaller amount provided that in the subdivision the proportion between the amount paid and the amount, if any, unpaid on each reduced share shall be the same as it was in case of the share from which the reduced share is derived; and (d) cancel any shares that, at the date of the passing of the resolution, have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any person and diminish the amount of its share capital by the amount of the shares so cancelled.

Reduction of Share Capital

Pursuant to the provisions of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, we may by special resolution reduce our share capital and any capital redemption reserveresult in any manner authorized by the Cayman Islands Companies Law (including by application to court for a reduction of share capital); provided that we shall not increase, reduce or alter our share capital, if such action, in the Board’s sole and absolute discretion, would cause anon-de minimis adverse tax, legal or regulatory consequence to us, any subsidiary of our subsidiaries,ours or any other direct or indirect holder of our shares (an “Adverse Consequence Determination”), we have the option, at our sole discretion, to (i) redeem, (ii) repurchase or (iii) assign to a third party the right to purchase, the minimum number of shares held by such shareholder as is necessary to eliminate such non-de minimis adverse tax, legal or our affiliates.

Share Distributions

Our LLC Agreement authorizes the Board to declare and pay to the shareholders distributions in the aggregate, to a voting power equal to approximately (but slightly less than) 9.5%, pursuant to a formula set forth in our amended and restated memorandum and articlesform of association. The holder(s) of deferred shares are not entitled to a vote.

All votes at a general meeting will be decided by way of a poll. Voting rights on a poll may be exercised by shareholders registered in our share register as of the record date for the meeting or by a duly appointed proxy of such a registered shareholder, which proxy need not be a shareholder. All proxies must be appointed in accordance with our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that the Board may permit the appointment of proxies by the shareholders to be notified to us electronically.

In accordance with our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, the Board may from time to time cause us to issue preference or other classes or series of shares. These shares may have such voting rights, if any, as may be specified in the terms of such shares (e.g., they may carry more votes per share than ordinaryadditional shares, or may entitle their holders toeffect a class vote on such matters as may be specified in the termssplit, subdivision or combination of the shares).

Treasury shares do not entitle their holders to vote at general meetings of shareholders. Shares in us held by our subsidiaries are not precluded by Cayman law from voting at our general meetings.

Except where a greater majority is required by Cayman law or our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, any question proposed for consideration at any of our quorate general meetings or of any class of shareholders will be decided by an ordinary resolution passed by a simple majority of the votes cast by shareholders entitled to vote at such meeting. Cayman law requires “special resolutions” of the shareholders to approve certain matters.

Variation of Rights Attaching to a Class of Shares

Variation of any special rights attached to any class or series of our issued shares (including our ordinary shares) must, in accordance with our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, be approved by (1) the consent of the holders of not less than 75% the shares of the class or series affected,

passed by the affirmative vote of the holders of the shares of that class or series voted at a meeting of that class or series or (2) the written consent of 75% the shareholders of that class or series. In the case of a meeting to vary the rights of any class or series of shares, our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides thatat any time, subject to the necessary quorum is the presence, in person or by proxy, of at least one shareholder representing 1/3 in nominal value (or, at an adjourned meeting, at least one shareholder representing any amount of nominal value) of the relevant class.

Every shareholder of the affected class or series will have one vote for each share of such class or series that he or she holds as of the record date for the meeting except that if, and for so long as, the votes conferred by our Controlled Shares of any person constitute 9.5% or more of the votes conferred by the issued shares of the relevant class or series, the voting rights with respect to our Controlled Shares of such person will be limited, in the aggregate, to a voting power equal to approximately (but slightly less than) 9.5%, pursuant to a formula set forth in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association.

Inspection of Books and Records

Cayman law does not confer upon shareholders specific rights to inspect our books and records. Pursuant to theapplicable provisions of the Cayman Islands Companies Law, aDLLCA and any Share Designation.

Shareholder Approval of Business Combinations

Our LLC Agreement requires common shareholder may apply to the Grand Courtapproval for:

any merger, consolidation, conversion or division of the Cayman Islands to appoint one or more competent inspectors to examineCompany, unless (i) the affairsBoard has received an opinion of counsel that such transaction would not result in the loss of the companylimited liability of any shareholder, and (ii) the primary purpose of such transaction is to report thereineffect a mere change in such manner as the court may direct.

Acquisitions

There are a number of mechanisms for acquiring a Cayman Islands exempted company, including:

Scheme of Arrangement

A court-approved scheme of arrangement under the Cayman Islands Companies Law is an arrangement with one or more classes of shareholders that requires a court order from the Grand Courtlegal form of the Cayman Island and the approval of: (1) more than 50% in number of the shareholders of each participating classCompany into another limited liability entity; or series voting on the scheme of arrangement, (2) representing 75% or more by value of the shares of such participating class or series held by the shareholders voting on the scheme of arrangement, in each case at the relevant meeting or meetings. A scheme of arrangement, if authorized by the shareholders of each participating class or series and the court, is binding on all of the shareholders of each participating class or series. Shares held by the acquiring party are effectively excluded from the tally of a vote on the scheme because such shares will be considered to belong to a separate class for the purposes of approving the scheme.

Tender Offer

Where the holders of 90% or more in value of a class of our shares (excluding any shares already beneficially owned by the offeror) have within four months of the making of an offer accepted an offer for their shares in us, the remaining shareholders in that class may be statutorily required to also transfer their shares by notice given at any time within two months of the expiry of the four month period, unless, within one month, thenon-tendering shareholders can obtain a Cayman court order otherwise providing. If the offeror has acquired acceptances of 90% of all our shares but does not exercise its “squeeze out” right, then thenon-accepting shareholders have no statutory right to require the offeror to acquire their shares on the same terms as the original offer.

Merger

Pursuant to the provisions of the Cayman Islands Companies Law, we may merge with another company (wherever incorporated, provided that such merger is not prohibited by the laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation of that company). A merger under Cayman law requires the consent oftwo-thirds of the votes cast at a quorate meeting of our voting shareholders.

Asset Sale

Under Cayman law, the Board’s approval, but not shareholder approval, is required for a sale lease or exchange of all or substantially all of our assets.

Appraisal Rights

Generally, under Cayman law, shareholders of a Cayman Islands exempted company do not have statutory appraisal rights; provided that, in the event of a statutory merger under the Cayman Islands Companies Law, a shareholder shall be entitled to receive the fair value of his shares upon dissenting from such merger. This right is generally only available in circumstances where the consideration under the termsassets of the merger is payable in cash.

A dissenting shareholder inCompany to any person other than a successful tender offer for a Cayman Islands exempted company may, by application to the Grand Courtwholly-owned subsidiary of the Cayman Islands, object to that company using the compulsory squeeze out provisionsCompany (and “substantially all of the Cayman Islands Companies Law.assets” will mean assets having a net book value (after taking into account any liabilities to which such assets are subject) equal to or greater than 80% of the total shareholders’ equity of the Company, in each case, as set forth on the latest annual or quarterly consolidated balance sheet of the Company filed with the SEC.

Disclosure of Interests in Shares

In addition, personsThe DLLCA does not require a shareholder to notify the Company of its ownership of our shares or groups (within the meaning ofother interests in us. The Exchange Act requires that any person or group (as defined in the Exchange Act) beneficially owning 5% or more of our ordinarycommon shares must comply with the reporting requirements under Regulation13D-G of the Exchange Act.Act and disclose such ownership.

We are entitled to obtain such other information about each shareholder (and each beneficial owner of shares) as is necessary or appropriate in connection with such shareholder’s ownership of shares and in order to permit us to carry out our obligations under our LLC Agreement.

Appraisal Rights

The DLLCA does not provide appraisal rights to members of a limited liability company unless such rights are explicitly included in its limited liability company agreement.

Our LLC Agreement does not provide for any appraisal rights, except to the limited extent provided with respect to the required redemption or repurchase of shares in the event of an Adverse Consequence Determination. Our LLC Agreement expressly provides that shareholders are not entitled to dissenters’ rights of appraisal in the event of a merger, consolidation, conversion, division, sale of all or substantially all of the assets of us or our subsidiaries, or any other similar transaction or event.

Anti-Takeover Provisions

Shareholder Rights Plans andMeasures; Share Issuances; Transfer Restriction

Cayman law does not expressly prohibit companies from issuing share purchase rights or adopting a shareholder rights plan as an anti-takeover measure. Whilst there is no directly relevant case law on the validity of such plans under Cayman law, the decisions in comparable circumstances of the courts of England and Wales in particular are of persuasive authority in the Cayman Islands.

The Board has the powerauthority to issue any of our authorized andbut unissued shares onof any existing class or series of shares and to create additional classes or series of shares pursuant to a Share Designation and authorize and issue shares of any such terms and conditionsnewly created class or series.

Our LLC Agreement authorizes the Board to decline to approve or register any purported transfer of shares:

in the event of an Adverse Consequence Determination;

unless (x) such transfer has been registered under the Securities Act or (y) an opinion from counsel acceptable to the Board shall have been delivered to us to the effect that registration of such transfer under the Securities Act is not required; or

if the transfer has not been approved by any applicable governmental entities whose approval is required.

The Board has the authority to request such information as it may determinerequest for the purpose of determining whether any transfer should be permitted. If such information is not provided, the Board may decline to recognize, approve or authorize such transfer. Any transfer or purported transfer of any shares in violation of our LLC Agreement will be of no force or effect and null and void ab initio.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, nothing prevents the settling of any transaction involving shares entered into through Nasdaq or any other applicable national securities exchange.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DEPOSITARY SHARES

General

We may offer depositary shares, each representing a specified fraction of a share of a particular series of preferred shares. Depositary receipts evidencing depositary shares will be issued to those persons purchasing the fractional shares of the related preferred shares.

Subject to the terms of the deposit agreement, each owner will be entitled to all the rights and preferences of the preferred shares represented by the depositary share in proportion to the fraction of a preferred share represented by the depositary share, including dividend, voting, redemption and liquidation rights.

Dividends and Other Distributions

The depositary will distribute all cash dividends or other distributions received on the related preferred shares to the owners in proportion to the number of depositary shares owned. In the event of a distribution other than in cash, the depositary will distribute property received by it to the owners, unless the depositary determines that it is not feasible to make the distribution, in which case the depositary may, with our approval, sell the property and distribute the net proceeds from the sale to the owners.

Holders of the whole preferred shares will not be entitled to exchange the preferred shares for depositary shares. If the delivered depositary receipts evidence a number of depositary shares in excess of the number of whole preferred shares to be withdrawn, the depositary will deliver to the owner a new depositary receipt evidencing this excess number at the same time. In no event will fractional preferred shares be delivered upon surrender of depositary receipts.

Redemption of Depositary Shares

Whenever we redeem preferred shares held by the depositary, the depositary will redeem the number of depositary shares representing the related preferred shares. The redemption price per depositary share will be equal to the applicable fraction of the redemption price per preferred share. If less than all the depositary shares are to be redeemed, the depositary shares to be redeemed will be selected by lot or pro rata as may be determined by the depositary or us.

Voting the Preferred Shares

Upon receipt of notice of any meeting at which the holders of the preferred shares are entitled to vote, the depositary will mail the information contained in the notice to the record owners of the depositary shares. Each record owner on the record date, which will be the same as the record date for the preferred shares, may instruct the depositary how to exercise its voting rights pertaining to the preferred shares represented by the owner’s depositary shares. The depositary will endeavor, insofar as practicable, to vote the number of the preferred shares represented by these depositary shares in accordance with the instructions, and we will agree to take all action which the depositary deems necessary in order to enable the depositary to do so. The depositary will not vote preferred shares if it does not receive specific instructions from the record owners.

Miscellaneous

may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange thereof at the corporate trust officeoffices of the trusteeTrustees or at the office of any registrar designated by us for such purpose.

No service charge will be made for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company and GIGIthe Co-Obligor may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection with certain transfers and exchanges. The Company or GIGIthe Co-Obligor may act as registrar and may change any registrar without notice.

Certain Covenants

The applicable prospectus supplement will describe any material covenants in respect of a series of debt securities that are not described in this prospectus.

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, all debt securities will include the provision described below.

Neither the Company nor GIGIthe Co-Obligor may (1) consolidate with or merge with or into any other person or convey, transfer, sell or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any person, (2) permit any person to consolidate with or merge into the Company or GIGIthe Co-Obligor or (3) permit any person to convey, transfer, sell or lease that person’s properties and assets substantially as an entirety to the Company or GIGIthe Co-Obligor unless:

 

in the case of (1) and (2) above, if the Company or GIGI,the Co-Obligor, as the case may be, is not the surviving person, such surviving person is an entity organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America (including any State thereof or the District of Columbia), the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Cayman Islands, Bermuda or any country which is a member of the Organization for EconomicCo-operation and Development or the European Union and the surviving person assumes the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the debt securities and the performance of its other covenants under the indenture;Indenture;

immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no event of default under the indenture,Indenture, and no event that, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an event of default under the indenture,Indenture, will have occurred and be continuing; and

 

the Company and GIGIthe Co-Obligor shall have delivered to the trusteeTrustees an officers’ certificate stating that such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, sale or lease and, if a supplemental indentureIndenture is required in connection with such transaction, such supplemental indenture,Indenture, comply with this covenant and that all conditions precedent in the indentureIndenture relating to such transaction have been satisfied.

Reporting by the Issuer

Under the indenture,Indenture, the Company and GIGIthe Co-Obligor will be required to file with the trustee,Trustees, within 15 days after the Company and GIGIthe Co-Obligor are required to file the same with the SEC, copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents and other reports which the Company and GIGIthe Co-Obligor may be required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, provided that availability of such reports on a website maintained by the SEC shall be deemed to fulfill this requirement. If the Company and GIGIthe Co-Obligor are not required to file information, documents or reports pursuant to either of said sections of the Exchange Act, then the Company and GIGIthe Co-Obligor shall file with the trusteeTrustees and the SEC, in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the SEC, such of the supplementary and periodic information, documents and reports which may be required pursuant to Section 13 of the Exchange Act in respect of a security listed and registered on a national securities exchange. The Company and GIGIthe Co-Obligor also will be required to file with the trusteeTrustee(s) and the SEC such additional information, documents and reports with respect to compliance by us with the conditions and covenants of the indentureIndenture as may be required from time to time under the rules and regulations of the SEC. Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the trusteeTrustees is for informational purposes only and the trustee’sTrustees’ receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s and GIGI’sthe Co-Obligor’s compliance with any of its covenants under the indentureIndenture (as to which the trustee isTrustees are entitled to rely exclusively on an officers’ certificate). The trusteeTrustees will not be obligated to monitor or confirm, on a continuing basis or otherwise, the Company’s and GIGI’sthe Co-Obligor’s compliance with the covenants or with respect to any reports or other documents filed with the SEC or the SEC’s EDGAR system or any website under the indenture,Indenture, or participate in any conference calls.

Ranking of Debt Securities

General

Because each of the Company and GIGIthe Co-Obligor is a holding company, their rights and the rights of their respective creditors, including you, as a holder of debt securities, and shareholders to participate in any distribution of assets of any subsidiary upon the subsidiary’s liquidation or reorganization or otherwise would be subject to the prior claims of the subsidiary’s creditors, except to the extent that the Company or GIGI,the Co-Obligor, as applicable, is a creditor of the subsidiary. The right of creditors of the Company and GIGI,the Co-Obligor, including you, to participate in the distribution of stock owned by the Company or GIGI,the Co-Obligor, as applicable, in some of their subsidiaries, including their insurance subsidiaries, may also be subject to approval by insurance regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over these subsidiaries.

Senior Debt Securities

The senior debt securities will be unsecured unsubordinated obligations of the Company and GIGIthe Co-Obligor and will:

 

rank equal in right of payment with all of our other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness;

 

be effectively subordinated in right of payment to all of our secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and

 

be effectively subordinated to all indebtedness and mandatorily redeemable preferred stockshares of subsidiaries of the Company and GIGI.the Co-Obligor.

Except as otherwise set forth in the indentureIndenture or specified in an authorizing resolution, officers’ certificate and/or supplemental indenture,Indenture, if any, relating to a series of senior debt securities to be issued, there are no limitations in the indentureIndenture on the amount of additional indebtedness which may rank equal with the senior debt securities or on the amount of indebtedness, secured or otherwise, which may be incurred or preference shares which may be issued by the Company, GIGIthe Co-Obligor or their respective subsidiaries.

Subordinated Debt Securities

The subordinated debt securities will be unsecured subordinated obligations of the Company and GIGI.the Co-Obligor. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on and all other amounts owing in respect of the subordinated debt securities will be subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full in cash of principal of, interest on and all other amounts owing in respect of all senior indebtedness of the Company and/or GIGI.the Co-Obligor. Upon any payment or distribution of assets of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to creditors upon any total or partial liquidation, dissolution,winding-up, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors or marshaling of assets or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding relating to the Company, GIGIthe Co-Obligor or their respective property, whether voluntary or involuntary, all principal of, interest on and all other amounts due or to become due shall be paid, first, to all senior indebtedness in full in cash, or such payment duly provided for to the satisfaction of the holders of senior indebtedness, before any payment or distribution of any kind or character is made on account of any principal of, interest on or other amounts owing in respect of the subordinated debt securities, or for the acquisition of any of the subordinated debt securities for cash, property or otherwise.

If any default occurs and is continuing in the payment when due, whether at maturity, upon any redemption, by declaration or otherwise, of any principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any senior indebtedness, unless and until such default has been cured or waived or has ceased to exist or such senior indebtedness has been discharged or repaid in full, no payment of any kind or character shall be made by the Company and/or GIGIthe Co-Obligor or any other person on the Company’s or GIGI’sthe Co-Obligor’s behalf with respect to any principal of, interest on or other amounts owing in respect of the subordinated debt securities or to acquire any of the subordinated debt securities for cash, property or otherwise.

If any other event of default occurs and is continuing with respect to any senior indebtedness, as such event of default is defined in the instrument creating or evidencing such senior indebtedness, permitting the holders of such senior indebtedness then outstanding to accelerate the maturity thereof and a representative for the respective issue of senior indebtedness gives written notice of the event of default to the trustee,Trustees, then

the Company may be subject to a blockage period, during which, unless and until all events of default have been cured or waived or have ceased to exist or the trustee receivesTrustees receive notice from the representative for the respective issue of senior indebtedness terminating such blockage period, neither the Company nor any other person on the Company’s behalf shall:

(1) make any payment of any kind or character with respect to any principal of, interest on or other amounts owing in respect of the subordinated debt securities; or

1)

make any payment of any kind or character with respect to any principal of, interest on or other amounts owing in respect of the subordinated debt securities; or

(2)

2)

acquire any of the subordinated debt securities for cash, property or otherwise.

Unless otherwise provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, the terms of any subordinated debt securities will not restrict the amount of the Company’s, GIGI’sthe Co-Obligor’s or their respective subsidiaries’ senior indebtedness or other indebtedness. As a result, in the event of the Company’s or GIGI’sthe Co-Obligor’s insolvency, holders of the subordinated debt securities may recover ratably less than the Company’s or GIGI’sthe Co-Obligor’s general creditors.

Discharge and Defeasance

Under the terms of the indenture,Indenture, the Company and GIGIthe Co-Obligor will be discharged from any and all obligations in respect of the debt securities of any series and the indentureIndenture (except in each case for certain obligations to register the transfer or exchange of debt securities, replace stolen, lost or mutilated debt security certificates or other title documents, maintain paying agencies and hold moneys for payment in trust) if:

 

all outstanding debt securities of such series are delivered to the trusteeTrustees for cancellation and pay all sums payable by the Company and GIGIthe Co-Obligor under such debt securities and the indentureIndenture with respect to such series; or

 

such debt securities either have become due and payable or will become due and payable within one year (or are scheduled for redemption within one year) and the Company or GIGIthe Co-Obligor deposits with the trustee,Trustees, in trust:

 

in the case of any debt securities of any series denominated in U.S. dollars, cash or U.S. government obligations sufficient to pay all principal of and interest and premium, if any, on such debt securities; and

 

in the case of any debt securities of any series denominated in any currency other than U.S. dollars, an amount of the applicable currency in which such debt securities are denominated sufficient to pay all principal of and interest and premium, if any, on such debt securities.

In addition, unless the applicable prospectus supplement and authorizing resolution, officers’ certificate or supplemental indentureIndenture provide otherwise, the Company and GIGIthe Co-Obligor may elect either (1) to defease and be discharged from any and all obligations with respect to such debt securities (“defeasance”defeasance) or (2) to be released from its obligations with respect to such debt securities under certain covenants in the indenture,Indenture, and any omission to comply with such obligations will not constitute a default or an event of default with respect to such debt securities (“covenant defeasance”defeasance):

 

by delivering all outstanding debt securities of such series to the trusteeTrustees for cancellation and paying all sums payable by the Company and GIGIthe Co-Obligor under such debt securities and the indentureIndenture with respect to such series;

by delivering to the trusteeTrustees an officers’ certificate as to solvency and the absence of intent of preferring holders of the debt securities over other creditors of the Company and GIGI;the Co-Obligor; and

 

after giving notice to the trusteeTrustees of the Company’s and GIGI’sthe Co-Obligor’s intention to defease all of the debt securities of such series, by irrevocably depositing with the trusteeTrustees or a paying agent:

 

in the case of any debt securities of any series denominated in U.S. dollars, cash or U.S. government obligations sufficient to pay all principal of and interest on such debt securities; and

 

in the case of any debt securities of any series denominated in any currency other than U.S. dollars, an amount of the applicable currency in which the debt securities are denominated sufficient to pay all principal of and interest on such debt securities.

Such a trust may only be established if, among other things:

 

the defeasance or covenant defeasance does not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument to which the Company and/or GIGIthe Co-Obligor is a party or by which the Company and/or GIGIthe Co-Obligor is bound;

 

no event of default or event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become an event of default with respect to the debt securities to be defeased will have occurred and be continuing on the date of establishment of such a trust after giving effect to such establishment and, with respect to defeasance only, no bankruptcy proceeding with respect to us will have occurred and be continuing at any time during the period ending on the 91st day after such date; and

the Company and GIGIthe Co-Obligor have delivered to the trusteeTrustees an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance or covenant defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance or covenant defeasance had not occurred, and such opinion of counsel, in the case of defeasance, must refer to and be based upon a letter ruling of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service received by us, a Revenue Ruling published by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or a change in applicable U.S. federal income tax law.

If the Company and GIGIthe Co-Obligor effect covenant defeasance with respect to any debt securities and such debt securities are declared due and payable because of the occurrence of any event of default, other than an event of default with respect to any covenant as to which there has been covenant defeasance, then the U.S. government obligations on deposit with the trusteeTrustees will be sufficient to pay amounts due on such debt securities at the time of the stated maturity but may not be sufficient to pay amounts due on such debt securities at the time of the acceleration resulting from such event of default.

Modification and Waiver

The Company, GIGIthe Co-Obligor and the trusteeTrustees may modify, amend and/or supplement the indentureIndenture and the applicable debt securities with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of all series affected thereby (voting as a single class);provided, however, that such modification, amendment or supplement may not, without the consent of each holder of the debt securities affected thereby:

reduce the principal amount of, or the rate of interest on or any premium payable upon the redemption of, the debt securities;

modify the foregoing requirements or reduce the percentage of outstanding debt securities necessary to waive any covenant or past default.

Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of all series affected thereby (voting as a single class) may waive certain past defaults and may waive compliance by the Company and GIGIthe Co-Obligor with any provision of the indentureIndenture relating to such debt securities (subject to the immediately preceding sentence);provided, however, that:

 

without the consent of each holder of debt securities affected thereby, no waiver may be made of a default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any debt security or in respect of a covenant or provision of the indentureIndenture that expressly states that it cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each holder affected; and

only the holders of a majority in principal amount of debt securities of a particular series may waive compliance with a provision of the indentureIndenture relating to such series or the debt securities of such series having applicability solely to such series.

The Company, GIGIthe Co-Obligor and the trusteeTrustees may amend or supplement the indentureIndenture or waive any provision of the indentureIndenture and the debt securities without the consent of any holders of debt securities in some circumstances, including:

 

to cure any ambiguity, mistake, omission, defect or inconsistency as set forth in an officers’ certificate;

 

to make any change that does not, in our good faith opinion, adversely affect the interests of holders of such debt securities in any material respect, provided that any amendment or supplement conforming the indenture,Indenture, as applied to a series of debt securities, to the terms described in the prospectus (including any prospectus supplement) pursuant to which they were initially sold shall be deemed not to adversely affect the interests of holders of such debt securities;

 

to provide for the assumption of our obligations under the indentureIndenture by a successor upon any merger, consolidation or asset transfer permitted under the indenture;Indenture;

 

to provide any security for or guarantees of such debt securities;

to make any change necessary to comply with the Trust Indenture Act, or any amendment thereto, or to comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with the qualification of the indentureIndenture under the Trust Indenture Act;

 

to provide for uncertificated debt securities in addition to or in place of certificated debt securities or to provide for bearer debt securities;

 

to add to or change any of the provisions of the indentureIndenture to such extent as shall be necessary to permit or facilitate the issuance of the debt securities in bearer form, registrable or not registrable as to principal, and with or without interest coupons;

 

to change or eliminate any of the provisions of the indenture,Indenture, provided, however, that any such change or elimination shall become effective only when there is no debt security outstanding of any series created prior to the execution of such supplemental indentureIndenture which is entitled to the benefit of such provision;

 

to establish the form or terms of debt securities of any series as permitted by the indenture;Indenture; or

 

to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment by a successor trusteeTrustees with respect to the debt securities of one or more series and to add to or change any of the provisions of the indentureIndenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts under the indentureIndenture by more than one trustee,Trustees, pursuant to the requirements of the indenture.Indenture.

Events of Default and Notice Thereof

The following events are “events of default” with respect to any series of debt securities issued hereunder:

 

the failure of the Company and GIGIthe Co-Obligor to pay interest on any debt securities of such series within 30 days of when due or principal (and premium, if any) of any debt securities of such series when due (including any sinking fund installment);

the failure of the Company and GIGIthe Co-Obligor to perform, or breach of, any covenant, warranty or agreement contained in the debt securities of such series or the indentureIndenture relating to such series (other than those relating solely to another series of debt securities) for 60 days after a notice of default; and

 

certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization.

Additional or different events of default, if any, applicable to the series of debt securities in respect of which this prospectus is being delivered will be specified in the applicable prospectus supplement.

The trusteeTrustees under the indentureIndenture shall, within 90 days after the occurrence of any default (the term “default” to include the events specified above without grace or notice) with respect to any series of debt securities actually known to it, give to the holders of such debt securities notice of such default; provided, however, that, except in the case of a default in the payment of principal of or interest on any of the debt securities of such series or in the payment of a sinking fund installment, the trusteeTrustees for such series shall be protected in withholding such notice if it in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the holders of such debt securities; and provided, further, that in the case of any default of the character specified in the second bullet above with respect to debt securities of such series, no such notice to holders of such debt securities will be given until at least 30 days after the occurrence thereof. The Company and GIGIthe Co-Obligor shall certify to the trusteeTrustees annually as to whether any default exists.

If an event of default, other than an event of default resulting from bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, with respect to any series of debt securities shall occur and be continuing, the trusteeTrustees for such series or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of such series then outstanding, by notice in writing to the Company and GIGIthe Co-Obligor (and to the trusteeTrustees for such series if given by the holders of the debt securities of such series), will be entitled to declare all unpaid principal of and accrued interest on such debt securities then outstanding to be due and payable immediately.

If an event of default resulting from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, all unpaid principal of and accrued interest on all debt securities of such series then outstanding shall be due and payable immediately without any declaration or other act on the part of the trusteeTrustees for such series or the holders of any debt securities of such series.

Such acceleration may be annulled and past defaults (except, unless theretofore cured, a default in payment of principal of or interest on the debt securities of such series) may be waived by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of such series then outstanding upon the conditions provided in the indenture.Indenture.

No holder of the debt securities of any series issued thereunder may pursue any remedy under such indentureIndenture unless the trusteeTrustees for such series shall have failed to act after, among other things, notice of an event of default and request by holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the debt securities of such series in respect of which the event of default has occurred and the offer to the trusteeTrustees for such series of indemnity satisfactory to it; provided, however, that such provision does not affect the right to sue for enforcement of any overdue payment on such debt securities.

The indentureIndenture will provide that, subject to the duties of the trusteeTrustees to act with the required standard of care if there is a continuing event of default, the trusteeTrustees shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by the indentureIndenture at the request or direction of any of the holders of debt securities, unless such holders shall have offered to the trusteeTrustees security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any costs, expenses and liabilities which mightmay be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. Subject to such provisions for security or indemnity of the trustee,Trustees, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of a series (or if more than one series is affected thereby, of all series so affected, voting as a single class) shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee,Trustees, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee,Trustees, with respect to the debt securities of such series, provided that (1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with the indenture,Indenture, expose the trusteeTrustees to personal liability or be unduly prejudicial to the other holders not joining in such direction, and (2) the trusteeTrustees may take any other action deemed proper by the trusteeTrustees which is not inconsistent with such direction.

Such terms will include the conversion or exchange price (or manner of calculation thereof), the conversion or exchange period, provisions as to whether conversion or exchange will be at the option of the holders of such series of debt securities, at our option or automatic (upon a specified date or upon the occurrence of a specified event), the events requiring an adjustment of the conversion or exchange price and provisions affecting conversion or exchange in the event of the redemption of such series of debt securities. The debt securities, if convertible or exchangeable, will not be convertible into or exchangeable for securities of a third party.

The indentureIndenture and the debt securities will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

The indentureIndenture will provide that the Company, GIGIthe Co-Obligor and the trusteeTrustees will irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to the indenture,Indenture, the debt securities or the transactions contemplated thereby.

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES UNDER UNITED STATES

FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS AND OTHER MATTERS

We are an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands. We were incorporated in the Cayman Islands in order to enjoy certain benefits, such as political and economic stability, an effective judicial system, a favorable tax system, the absence of exchange control or currency restrictions, and the availability of professional and support services. However, certain disadvantages accompany incorporation in the Cayman Islands. These disadvantages include a less developed body of Cayman Islands securities laws that provide significantly less protection to investors as compared to the laws of the United States, and the potential lack of standing by Cayman Islands companies to sue before the federal courts of the United States.

Some of our officers and directors, as well as some of the experts named in this prospectus, reside outside the United States, and all or much of their assets are or may be located in jurisdictions outside of the United States.

As a result, it may be difficult to effect service in United States proceedings, recognize and/or enforce judgments of United States courts outside of the U.S, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state of the United States.

We have appointed Global Indemnity Group, Inc., located at Three Bala Plaza East, Suite 300, Bala Cynwyd, PA 19004, as our agent upon whom process may be served in any action brought against us under the laws of the United States.

Although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in United States courts, a final and conclusive judgment in a federal or state court of the United States of competent jurisdiction for a liquidated sum of money, other than a sum payable in respect of taxes, fines, penalties or similar charges, and which was neither obtained in a manner nor is of a kind enforcement of which is contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands and which is not inconsistent with a Cayman Islands judgment in respect of the same matters and not impeachable on grounds of fraud, may be subject to enforcement proceedings as a debt in the courts of the Cayman Islands under the common law without anyre-examination of the merits of the underlying dispute.

There is doubt, however, as to whether the Cayman Islands courts would: (i) recognize or enforce judgments of United States courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state of the United States, or (ii) in original actions brought in the Cayman Islands, impose liabilities predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the U.S or any state of the United States, in each case on the basis that such provisions are penal in nature.
