Item 8.01 Other Events.
On December 28, 2006, Max Re Ltd. ("Max Re"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant, consummated the sale of its approximately 5% interest in DaVinci Re Holdings Ltd. ("DV Holdings") and DaVinci Reinsurance Ltd. ("DV Re" and together with DV Holdings, "DaVinci") to RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd. for a purchase price equal to book value.
Max Re acquired its interest in DaVinci in December 2001 by means of an equity investment of $50,000,000 in Class D shares of DV Holdings representing 12.5% of its share capital. In December 2005, DaVinci raised additional share capital but Max Re chose not to participate in the transaction.

DaVinci is a Bermuda-based property catastrophe reinsurer, managed by Renaissance Underwriting Managers, Ltd.
