Item 8.01 Other Events.

ACE Limited filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K on March 16, 2006. Within the section entitled “Item 7 —Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Unpaid Losses and Loss Expenses” (appearing on page 68 of the Form 10-K as filed), the table segregating loss reserves by components incorrectly classified the first subtotal as “Casualty” when it should have been classified as “Property and other” and the second subtotal as “Property” when it should have been classified as “Casualty”. The complete table, as corrected, appears below.

The following table segregates the reserves by components including property and other, casualty and personal accident at December 31, 2005.
