• | Initial expected loss ratio (“IELR”) method: This method calculates an estimate of ultimate losses by applying an estimated loss ratio to an estimate of ultimate earned premium for each accident year. The estimated loss ratio may be based on pricing informationand/or industry dataand/or historical claims experience revalued to the year under review. | |
• | Bornhuetter-Ferguson (“BF”) method: The BF method uses as a starting point an assumed IELR and blends in the loss ratio implied by the claims experience to date by using benchmark loss development patterns on paid claims data (“Paid BF”) or reported claims data (“Reported BF”). Although the method tends to provide less volatile indications at early stages of development and reflects changes in the external environment, this method can be slow to react to emerging loss development and if IELR proves to be inaccurate can produce loss estimates which take longer to converge with the final settlement value of loss. | |
• | Loss development (“Chain Ladder”): This method uses actual loss data and the historical development profiles on older accident years to project more recent, less developed years to their ultimate position. | |
• | Exposure-based method: This method is used for specific large typically catastrophic events such as a major hurricane. All exposure is identified and we work with known market information and information from our cedants to determine a percentage of the exposure to be taken as the ultimate loss. |

(1) | The prior period cumulative paid claims, net of reinsurance recoveries for the 2002 year, as of seven years later, was previously reported as $77.8 million and has been reduced by $46.5 million to $31.3 million. The adjustment is due to the reallocation of claims across 2003 and subsequent years. Cumulative paid claims for each of the periods two years to six years later have also been amended due to a similar reallocation. |

• | Level 1 — Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets, to which the Company has access, for identical assets or liabilities. | |
• | Level 2 — Valuations based on observable inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, and inputs other than quoted prices which are directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability (for example interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, default rates, loss severities). | |
• | Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own views about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. |

• | Initial expected loss ratio (“IELR”) method: This method calculates an estimate of ultimate losses by applying an estimated loss ratio to an estimate of ultimate earned premium for each accident year. The estimated loss ratio may be based on pricing informationand/or industry dataand/or historical claims experience revalued to the year under review. | |
• | Bornhuetter-Ferguson (“BF”) method: The BF method uses as a starting point an assumed IELR and blends in the loss ratio, which is implied by the claims experience to date using benchmark loss development patterns on paid claims data (“Paid BF”) or reported claims data (“Reported BF”). Although the method tends to provide less volatile indications at early stages of development and reflects changes in the external environment, it can be slow to react to emerging loss development and can, if the IELR proves to be inaccurate, produce loss estimates which take longer to converge with the final settlement value of loss. | |
• | Loss development (“Chain Ladder”) method: This method uses actual loss data and the historical development profiles on older accident years to project more recent, less developed years to their ultimate position. | |
• | Exposure-based method: This method is typically used for specific large catastrophic events such as a major hurricane. All exposure is identified and we work with known market information and information from our cedants to determine a percentage of the exposure to be taken as the ultimate loss. |

(1) | The long term debt obligations disclosed above do not include the $30.0 million annual interest payable on our outstanding Senior Notes. | |
(2) | In estimating the time intervals into which payments of our reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses fall, as set out above, we have utilized actuarially assessed payment patterns. By the nature of the insurance and reinsurance contracts under which these liabilities are assumed, there can be no certainty that actual payments will fall in the periods shown and there could be a material acceleration or deceleration of claims payments depending on factors outside our control. This uncertainty is heightened by the relatively short time in which we have operated, thereby providing limited Company-specific claims loss payment patterns. The total amount of payments in respect of our reserves, as well as the timing of such payments, may differ materially from our current estimates for the reasons set out above under “— Critical Accounting Policies — Reserves for Losses and Loss Expenses.” |

• | We have ISDA master agreements with multiple potential counterparties to diversify our counterparty credit risk exposure as we deem appropriate. | |
• | We view senior unsecured debt ratings as the key factor in assessing the financial strength and probability of default of a counterparty. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2011, we have only entered into interest rate swap transactions with swap counterparties who have (or whose obligations are guaranteed by an affiliate that has) a senior unsecured debt rating of at least “A–”. As at December 31, 2011, the Goldman Sachs Group (the guarantor of the obligations of Goldman under the Goldman ISDA Agreement) was rated “A1” from Moody’s and “A–” from S&P and Crédit Agricole was rated “Aa3” from Moody’s and “A+” from S&P. | |
• | We protected the ability to maintain a minimum counterparty rating by negotiating provisions that permit us to terminate the ISDA agreements with our counterparties (and all interest rate swaps thereunder) if the rating of the counterparty (or its guarantor) fell below certain levels. | |
• | Our credit exposure to any one swap counterparty is the amount of uncollateralized NPV (i.e., the amount, if any, that the counterparty would owe us upon termination of the swap following a default by the counterparty that is unsecured by collateral that has been delivered by the counterparty to us). Under each ISDA agreement, we negotiated a maximum amount of unsecured credit risk (uncollateralized NPV) that we can be exposed to before the counterparty is required to post collateral to us. Such amount is called the Minimum Transfer Amount (“MTA”). If an Event of Default or certain other events (such as the downgrade event discussed above, a merger or other |
141
Table of Contents
combination of the counterparty as a result of which the counterparty is materially weaker, or a change in law) has occurred and is continuing with respect to a counterparty, the MTA with respect to such party becomes zero, and the counterparty is required to post collateral for all amounts due to us. |
• | The movement in the NPV of each interest rate swap is measured on a daily basis and settled on a daily basis if the amount required to be transferred to us is greater than the respective MTA of the ISDA agreement. Collateral required to be posted to us is required to be delivered to a collateral account held by our custodian. Therefore, our exposure to a counterparty’s credit risk is recalibrated on a daily basis. The permitted collateral that can be posted between the parties is cash and U.S. Treasuries of various maturities, but not exceeding 10 years. Valuation of the posted collateral is based on the closing market price of the posted Treasury from Bloomberg and applies a valuation percentage by type of security. |

Item 11. | Executive Compensation |
• | Salary: Decisions on salary increases which became effective during 2011 were approved by the Compensation Committee early in 2011, taking into account the 2010 results and other benchmarking information. There were no significant salary increases for any of our NEOs in 2011 other than for our Chief Executive Officer, whose salary was increased by 9.90% to reflect appropriate benchmarking and Mr. Villers whose full-time equivalent base salary was increased to reflect his expanded role as Co-CEO of Aspen Insurance; | |
• | Bonus: As we had an Operating ROE (as defined below) of (3.7)% for the year, bonus pool funding was at the Compensation Committee’s discretion rather than in accordance with a set formula. The Compensation Committee exercised its discretion and approved a bonus pool to reward the positive performance of certain underwriting and other teams notwithstanding the overall group results. The following points should be noted: |
• | In establishing the funding level of the discretionary bonus pool, the Compensation Committee considered the actual performance of individual underwriting teams and support functions. The consequence of thisbottom-up approach was then reviewed in the context of overall group performance in reaching an appropriate level of bonus funding; | |
• | As part of this process, none of the NEOs (including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer) received a bonus in light of the Company’s overall performance, other than Mr. Villers, who received a bonus to reflect the strong performance of the insurance segment, and in particular, certain product lines within international insurance, and Mr. Vitale, who in relation to his recruitment by us in 2011 received a guaranteed bonus for the year in the amount of $900,000 reflecting lost bonus opportunity at his previous employer; and |
155

• | It is also important to note that several senior executives volunteered to forego a bonus for 2011 in light of our overall performance. |
• | Long-term incentive awards: Based on our ROE of (5.3)% for the year, the relevant portions of the 2009, 2010 and 2011 performance shares which were subject to the 2011 ROE test did not vest and were forfeited. As a result of our 2011 performance, 404,227 shares did not vest and were forfeited by our executive officers, which impacted one-third of the performance share grants in each of 2009, 2010 and 2011. This underlines the performance conditions embedded in theselong-term plans. |

(1) | In 2007, we adopted a policy whereby the Compensation Committee approves annual grants at a regularly scheduled meeting. However, if such a meeting takes place while the Company is in a close period (i.e., prior to the release of our quarterly or yearly earnings), the grant date will be the day on which our close period ends. The approval date of February 3, 2011 was during our close period, and therefore the grant date was February 9, 2011, the day our close period ended. In the case of Mr. Vitale, the grant date was the date of the commencement of his his employment with us. | |
In respect of ad hoc grants of RSUs (if not in a close period), in particular with respect to new hires, the grant date is the later of (i) the date on which the Compensation Committee approves the grant or (ii) the date on which the employee commences employment with the Company. | ||
(2) | Under the terms of the 2011 performance share awards, one-third of the grant is eligible for vesting each year. If the 2011 ROE is less than 6%, then the portion of the grant for such year will not vest and is forfeited. If the 2011 ROE is between 6% and 11%, the percentage of the performance shares eligible for vesting in that year will be between 10% and 100% on a straight-line basis. If the 2011ROE is between 11% and 21%, then the percentage of the performance shares eligible for vesting will be between 100% and 200% on a straight-line basis; provided however that if the ROE for 2011 is greater than 11% and the |
169
Table of Contents
average ROE for 2011 and the previous year is less than 6%, then only 100% of the shares eligible for vesting in such year shall vest. The Compensation Committee also agreed that it will determine the vesting conditions for the 2012 and 2013 portions of the 2011 performance shares in such years taking into consideration the market conditions and the Company’s business plans at the commencement of the years concerned. For the purpose of this table, the amounts provided represent 100% of the performance shares vested for each portion of the grant subject to the separate annual ROE test. For a more detailed description of our performance share awards granted in 2011, refer to “Narrative Description of Summary Compensation and Grants of Plan-Based Awards — Share Incentive Plan — 2011 Performance Share Awards” below. | ||
(3) | Amounts provided represent no vesting (forfeiture) in respect of one-third of the initial grant as our ROE for 2011 was (5.3)%, and assumes a vesting of 200% for the remaining two-thirds of the performance shares. | |
(4) | For a description of our RSUs, refer to “Narrative Description of Summary Compensation and Grants of Plan-Based Awards — Share Incentive Plan — Resticted Share Units” below. | |
(5) | Valuation is based on the grant date fair value of the awards calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, without regard to forfeiture assumptions, which is $28.22 for the performance shares granted on February 9, 2011 and $25.04 for the performance shares granted to Mr. Vitale on March 21, 2011. Refer to Note 16 of our consolidated financial statements for the assumptions made with respect to our performance share awards. |

(4) | As the performance targets for the 2006 options were not fully met, 92.2% of the grant vested and the remaining portion of the grant was forfeited. | |
(5) | With respect to the 2009 performance shares, amount represents (i) 164.0% vesting in respect of one-third of the grant as our ROE for 2009 was 18.4%, (ii) 85.6% vesting in respect of one-third of the grant as our ROE for 2010 was 11.2% and (iii) and forfeiture in respect of one-third of the grant as our ROE for 2011 was (5.3%). These performance shares vest and become issuable upon the filing of this report. | |

(3) | In respect of death, the executives are entitled to the pro rated annual bonus based on the actual bonus earned for the year in which the date of termination occurs. This amount represents 100% of the bonus potential for 2011. In addition, the amount of performance share awards that have already met their vesting criteria but have not vested yet would vest and be issued.

Any options granted would continue to vest under the terms of their agreement. Similarly, RSUs will accelerate and vest. In the case of Mr. Vitale, he receives a pro rated annual bonus, which for purposes of this calculation represents 100% of the bonus potential and he would be entitled to $2,977,682 in benefits payable pursuant to his supplemental disability benefits. This amount is comprised of two separate policies and includes cover for temporary and permanent total disability benefits as well as catastrophic disability benefits. The amount payable under this policy has been discounted by a factor of 1.63% being the pro-rated rate between the 5-year and 10-year U.S. Treasury yield curve rates at December 31, 2011. | |
(5) | The total cash payout and the acceleration of vesting are provided only if the employment of the above named executive is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the executive with Good Reason (as described above under “Employment-Related Agreements” and as defined in each of the individual’s respective employment agreement) within the six-month period prior to a change in control or within a two-year period after a change in control. The occurrence of any of the following events constitutes a “Change in Control”: | |
(A) the sale or disposition, in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all, of the assets of the Company to any person or group (other than (x) any subsidiary of the Company or (y) any entity that is a holding company of the Company (other than any holding company which became a holding company in a transaction that resulted in a Change in Control) or any subsidiary of such holding company); | ||
(B) any person or group is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 30% of the combined voting power of the voting shares of the Company (or any entity which is the |

beneficial owner of more than 50% of the combined voting power of the voting shares of the Company), including by way of merger, consolidation, tender or exchange offer or otherwise; excluding, however, the following: (i) any acquisition directly from the Company, (ii) any acquisition by the Company, (iii) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any corporation controlled by the Company, or (iv) any acquisition by a person or group if immediately after such acquisition a person or group who is a shareholder of the Company on the effective date of our 2003 Share Incentive Plan continues to own voting power of the voting shares of the Company that is greater than the voting power owned by such acquiring person or group; | ||
(C) the consummation of any transaction or series of transactions resulting in a merger, consolidation or amalgamation, in which the Company is involved, other than a merger, consolidation or amalgamation which would result in the shareholders of the Company immediately prior thereto continuing to own (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity), in the same proportion as immediately prior to the transaction(s), more than 50% of the combined voting power of the voting shares of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger, consolidation or amalgamation; or | ||
(D) a change in the composition of the Board such that the individuals who, as of the effective date of the 2003 Share Incentive Plan, constitute the Board of Directors (such Board of Directors shall be referred to for purposes of this section only as the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, that for purposes of this definition, any individual who becomes a member of the Board of Directors subsequent to the Effective Date, whose election, or nomination for election, by a majority of those individuals who are members of the Board of Directors and who were also members of the Incumbent Board (or deemed to be such pursuant to this proviso) shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board; and, provided further, however, that any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as the result of or in connection with either an actual or threatened election contest or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of an entity other than the Board of Directors shall not be so considered as a member of the Incumbent Board. | ||
(6) | Represents the lesser of the target annual incentive for the year in which termination occurs and the average of the bonus received by Mr. O’Kane for the previous three years ($1,074,747) plus twice the sum of the highest salary paid during the term of the agreement ($846,163) and the average bonus actually earned during three years immediately prior to termination ($1,074,747). Mr. O’Kane’s agreement includes provisions with respect to the treatment of “parachute payments” under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. As Mr. O’Kane is currently not a U.S. taxpayer, the above amounts do not reflect the impact of such provisions. | |
(7) | Represents the acceleration of vesting of the entire grant of the 2009 performance shares (other than 1/3 of the grant which will be forfeited on vesting for non-achievement of the 2011 performance test), the 2010 performance shares (other than 1/3 of the grant which will be forfeited on vesting for non-achievement of the 2011 performance test) and the 2011 performance shares (other than the 1/3 of the grant which will be foreited on vesting for non-achievement of the 2011 performance test). For the portion 2009 performance shares which have exceeded the performance threshold, we have assumed the greater percentage amount for calculation purposes. With respect to performance shares, the value is based on the closing price of our shares on December 30, 2011. The amounts do not include the (i) 2003 options as they have fully vested on December 31, 2009, (ii) 2005 options, as the performance targets were not met and the options were forfeited, (iii) 2005 performance share awards as the performance targets were not met and the performance shares were forfeited, (iv) 2004 options as the earned portion has vested and any remaining unearned portions of the grant were forfeited due to non-achievement of performance targets, (v) 2006 options as the earned portions have vested and any remaining unearned portions of the grant were forfeited due to non-achievement of performance tests and (vi) the 2007 options as those have vested. | |
