Ladies and Gentlemen,
We are the accountants for Aspen Insurance Holdings Limited and subsidiaries and, under the date of February 20, 2014, we reported on the consolidated financial statements of Aspen Insurance Holdings Limited as of and for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, and the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting of Aspen Insurance Holdings Limited as of December 31, 2013. On February 4, 2015 and February 5, 2015, we notified the Audit Committee and Board of Directors of Aspen Insurance Holdings Limited, respectively, that we will decline to stand for re-election as the independent registered public accountants of Aspen Insurance Holdings Limited for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015.
We have read Aspen Insurance Holdings Limited’s statements included under Item 4.01 of its Form 8-K to be filed on February 5, 2015, and we agree with such statements.
Yours faithfully,
