REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Investment Committee
HCC Insurance Holdings, Inc. 401(k) Plan:
We have audited the accompanying Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits of the HCC Insurance Holdings, Inc. 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the related Statements of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) as of December 31, 2013 is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. This supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

HCC INSURANCE HOLDINGS, INC. 401(K) PLAN
1. Description of Plan
The following description of the HCC Insurance Holdings, Inc. 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions. As a result of the merger of several other qualified plans of acquired companies since the inception of the Plan, the Plan has been amended to include certain specific provisions applicable only to certain merged participants.
General
The Plan is a defined-contribution plan, established effective January 1, 1992, designed to comply with Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”). The Plan was amended and restated in its entirety on January 11, 2012, effective January 1, 2012, and further amended, with the latest amendment dated on April 19, 2013, which was effective as of May 1, 2012. The amendments were primarily administrative in nature, bringing clarity to certain administrative practices as well as making plan withdrawals at age 59 ½ available to all participants (an option previously only available to certain participants merged in from acquired plans). These amendments did not affect net assets available for benefits.
Non-union, full-time employees of HCC Insurance Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) become eligible to participate in the Plan upon the earlier of (i) completion of thirty consecutive days of active service and attaining the age of 21, or (ii) completion of one year of service and attaining the age of 21. Participants are eligible to make deferral contributions on the next available payroll (based on administrative practicality) following such eligibility date. All eligible employees must complete one year of service to become eligible for employer matching contributions. One year of service is defined in the Plan document as completion of 1,000 hours of service within 12 months.
Administration
HCC Insurance Holdings, Inc. is the administrator of the Plan (the “Plan administrator”). Reliance Trust Company is the Plan’s trustee and State Street Bank and Trust Company is the custodian of the Plan’s assets. Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (“MassMutual”) serves as recordkeeper of the Plan.
Contributions
Participants are able to contribute from 1% to 90% of their pre-tax annual compensation not to exceed the limitations set forth in Section 402(g) of the Code ($17,500 and $17,000 for 2013 and 2012, respectively). Participants may make catch-up contributions (pre-tax contributions that exceed the annual elective deferral limit) during any calendar year ending on or after the participant’s 50th birthday. A participant’s total catch-up contribution was limited to a maximum of $5,500 during 2013 and 2012. Participants may also make rollover contributions from other qualified plans. Participants direct the investment of their contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan.
HCC INSURANCE HOLDINGS, INC. 401(K) PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Description of Plan, continued
The Plan also provides for discretionary employer matching contributions for each $1 contributed by a participant, up to a maximum of the lesser of 6% of the participant’s Plan compensation or $10,200. During 2013 and 2012, the Company made discretionary contributions of $4,785,392 and $4,395,774, respectively, to the Plan. The Company matching contributions are generally computed each pay period in which participants’ contributions are made and are invested directly in the various investment options as directed by the participant. The Plan additionally provides for annual discretionary qualified non-elective contributions (as defined in the Plan document). There were no discretionary qualified non-elective contributions made during 2013 or 2012.
Participants’ Accounts
Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contributions and allocation of the Company’s contributions and Plan net earnings. Net earnings are allocated by fund based on the ratio of a participant’s account invested in a particular fund to all participants’ investments in that fund. Upon the occurrence of a distribution event, the benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested interest in his or her account.
Vesting
Participants are immediately vested in their elective contributions and any qualified non-elective contributions, plus any earnings on such contributions. Vesting in the Company’s contribution portion of their accounts is based on years of service. A participant becomes 20% vested after two years of service, 40% after three years, 60% after four years, 80% after five years and 100% after six years. However, if an active participant dies or terminates due to disability prior to attaining the normal retirement age, the participant’s account becomes 100% vested.
Notes Receivable From Participants
Participants may borrow from their fund accounts up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of the participant’s vested account balance. Notes receivable from participants are calculated on a fully amortized basis. A note receivable from a participant is collateralized by the vested balance in the participant’s account and bears interest at a rate commensurate with market rates for similar loans, as defined in the Plan agreement. Interest rates on outstanding notes receivable from participants ranged from 4.25% to 8.50% as of December 31, 2013 and 4.25% to 9.25% as of December 31, 2012.
Payment of Benefits
Upon termination of employment, a participant (or his or her designated beneficiary in the event of death) may elect to receive either a lump-sum amount equal to the value of the participant’s vested interest in his or her account or to have the account balance distributed in the form of an annuity. Effective December 3, 2012, a participant who has attained age 59 ½ and who is still employed by the Company is allowed to withdraw all or a portion of his or her vested account balance. Distributions are subject to the applicable provisions of the Plan agreement.
HCC INSURANCE HOLDINGS, INC. 401(K) PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Description of Plan, continued
Forfeited Accounts
All employer contributions credited to a participant’s account, but not vested, are forfeited by the participant upon distribution of the fully vested value of his or her account. A participant who returns to employment within five years from his or her previous termination date is entitled to have his or her forfeited account balance restored upon repayment of any employer contributions withdrawn following original termination. Forfeitures are used to reduce employer contributions or to pay Plan expenses. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, forfeited non-vested accounts totaling $196,412 and $252,866, respectively, were used to reduce administrative expenses and employer contributions. The balance of forfeited accounts available to reduce future employer contributions or pay Plan expenses was $62,380 and $29,229 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Administrative Expenses
The Plan is responsible for payment of the Trustee expenses and fees; however, the Company may pay the Plan expenses directly. No expenses were paid by the Company on behalf of the Plan during the years ended December 31, 2013 or 2012. Transaction charges (for loan and benefit payment transactions) are paid by the Plan by reducing the balances of those participants initiating the transactions.
Expense Offset Arrangements
Fees incurred by the Plan for investment management services or recordkeeping are included in net appreciation in fair value of investments, as they are paid through revenue sharing, rather than a direct payment.
Plan Termination
Although the Company has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants become 100% vested in their total account balance.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of net assets available for benefits and changes therein. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
HCC INSURANCE HOLDINGS, INC. 401(K) PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued
Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts
As described in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 962, Plan Accounting—Defined Contribution Pension Plans, investment contracts held by a defined-contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value. However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined-contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan. As required by GAAP, the statements of net assets available for benefits present the fair value of the investment contracts, as well as the adjustment of the fully benefit-responsive investment contracts from fair value to contract value. The statements of changes in net assets available for benefits are prepared on a contract value basis.
Investments Valuation
The Plan’s investments are stated at fair value, and quoted market prices are used to value investments for those investments having quoted market prices in an active market. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Plan’s investments consisted primarily of investments in registered investment companies (mutual funds), a common stock fund, and a guaranteed interest contract.
Investments in registered investment companies (mutual funds) are valued at quoted market prices, which represent the net asset value of shares held at the end of each reporting period.
The Plan’s common stock fund (the “HCC fund”) is invested primarily in HCC Insurance Holdings, Inc. common stock, which is traded on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “HCC” and is valued at its quoted market price at the daily close of the NYSE. The HCC fund includes investments in short-term money market instruments of $334,119 and $248,240 as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The money market portion of the HCC fund provides liquidity, which enables the Plan participants to transfer money daily among all investment choices.
The Plan invests in a guaranteed interest contract through a group annuity contract with MassMutual. The fair value of this guaranteed interest contract is calculated based on the liquidation value of the pro-rata share of the underlying investments’ fair value. The guaranteed interest contract meets the requirements of a fully benefit-responsive investment contract as defined by ASC Topic 962.
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
See additional information in Notes 3, 4 and 5.
HCC INSURANCE HOLDINGS, INC. 401(K) PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued
Net Appreciation in Fair Value of Investments
The net appreciation in the fair value of the Plan’s investments, excluding fully benefit-responsive investment contracts, consists of the realized gains or losses on sale of investments and unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments. The Plan presents the net appreciation of investments in the statements of changes in net assets available for benefits.
Notes Receivable From Participants
Notes receivable from participants are measured at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. Interest income on notes receivable from participants is recorded when earned. Related fees are recorded as transaction charges and are expensed when incurred. The notes receivable from participants are fully collateralized by the participants’ vested account balances and thus no allowance for credit losses has been recorded as of December 31, 2013 or 2012. Delinquent notes receivable from participants are reclassified as distributions, based upon the terms of the Plan agreement.
Benefit Payments
Benefits are recorded when paid.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Plan provides for various investment options. These investment options are exposed to market risk, which generally means there is a risk of loss in the value of certain investment securities due to changes in interest rates, security and commodity prices and general market conditions. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investments and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the fair value of investments, it is reasonably possible that changes in market conditions in the near term could materially affect participants’ account balances and amounts reported in the financial statements.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior years’ statement of net assets available for benefits and the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits and related note disclosures to conform to the current year’s presentation.
HCC INSURANCE HOLDINGS, INC. 401(K) PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
3. Fair Value Measurements
In determining fair value, the Plan generally applies the market approach, which uses prices and other relevant data based on market transactions involving identical or comparable assets and liabilities. The degree of judgment used to measure fair value generally correlates to the type of pricing and other data used as inputs, or assumptions, in the valuation process. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Plan’s own market assumptions using the best information available. Based on the type of inputs used to measure the fair value of the Plan’s financial instruments, the Plan classifies them into the following three-level hierarchy:
· Level 1 — Inputs are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments.
· Level 2 — Inputs are based on observable market data (other than quoted prices), or are derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
· Level 3 — Inputs are unobservable and not corroborated by market data.
A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value:
· Registered investment companies (mutual funds): Valued at the daily closing price as reported by the fund. Mutual funds held by the Plan are open-end mutual funds that are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These funds are required to publish their daily net asset value (“NAV”) and to transact at that price. The mutual funds held by the Plan are deemed to be actively traded.
· Guaranteed interest contract: Valued at fair value using the liquidation value based on a pro-rata share of the fair value of the underlying investments. The liquidation value, as provided by MassMutual, is used as the practical expedient to estimate fair value, and approximates NAV. This value is based on the fair value of the underlying investments less liabilities.
· HCC fund: Valued at fair value using the closing price of HCC common stock reported on the NYSE plus the fair value of the short term investment fund.
The methods described above may produce fair value calculations that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Plan believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2013 and 2012.

5. Investment Contract with Insurance Company
The Plan invests in a guaranteed interest contract with MassMutual, which is a fully benefit-responsive investment contract. MassMutual maintains the contributions in a general account. The account is credited with earnings on the underlying investments and charged for participant withdrawals and administrative expenses. The guaranteed interest contract issuer is contractually obligated to repay the principal and a specified interest rate that is guaranteed to the Plan.
As described in Note 2, because the guaranteed interest contract is fully benefit-responsive, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for net assets available for benefits attributable to the guaranteed interest contract. Contract value, as reported to the Plan by MassMutual, represents contributions made under the contract, plus earnings, less participant withdrawals and administrative expenses. Participants may ordinarily direct the withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their investment at contract value.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
5. Investment Contract with Insurance Company, continued
The fair value of the investment contract at December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $36,742,068 and $35,032,191, respectively. The crediting interest rate is based on a formula agreed upon with the issuer, but it may not be less than zero percent. Such interest rates are reviewed on a quarterly basis for resetting. The average yields for 2013 and 2012 were 3.44% and 3.84%, respectively.
Certain events may limit the ability of the Plan to transact at contract value with the issuer. Such events include but may not be limited to the following: 1) the complete or partial termination of the Plan, 2) the establishment of, or material change in, any Plan investment fund, or 3) an amendment to the Plan or a change in the administration or operation of the Plan. The Plan administrator does not believe that the occurrence of any such event, which would limit the Plan’s ability to transact at contract value with participants, is probable.
The guaranteed interest contract may be terminated by MassMutual upon the Plan’s establishment, activation, or material change to any Plan investment fund that MassMutual determines will prevent its ability to continue to operate the contract under the current terms. Termination of the guaranteed interest contract by MassMutual may result in the settlement of the outstanding balance at an amount that differs from contract value.
6. Party-In-Interest Transactions
Plan assets include notes receivable from participants and investments in funds managed by MassMutual. In addition, Plan investments include a guaranteed interest contract with MassMutual. As described in Note 2, the Plan invests in the HCC fund, which is comprised primarily of shares of the Company’s common stock. Personnel and facilities of the Company have been used to perform administrative functions for the Plan at no charge to the Plan. These transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions under ERISA. Such transactions are permitted under the provisions of the Plan and are exempt from the prohibition of party-in-interest transactions under ERISA.
7. Credit and Concentration Risk
The Plan’s investment in a guaranteed interest contract with MassMutual, which is valued at contract value, was $35,548,297 and $32,303,880 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These amounts represented 21.3% and 24.5% of the net assets available for benefits as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Plan’s exposure to credit risk on the guaranteed interest contract is limited to the contract value. There are no reserves against contract value for credit risk of the contract issuer or otherwise.

8. Tax Status
The Plan obtained its latest determination letter on July 31, 2012, in which the Internal Revenue Service stated that the Plan, as then designed, was in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code. The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter. However, the Plan administrator believes that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code.
9. Reconciliation to Form 5500
There were no differences between the amounts reported in these financial statements and the Form 5500 for net assets available for benefits or changes in net assets available for benefits as of and for the years ended December 31, 2013 or 2012.
