2 Informational Statements The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a "safe harbor" for forward looking statements. This presentation or any other written or oral statements made by or on behalf of Arch Capital Group Ltd. and its subsidiaries (“Arch”) may include forward looking statements, which reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in or incorporated by reference in this presentation are forward forward-looking statements. Forward looking statements can generally be identified by the use of forward looking terminology such as "may," "will," "expect," "intend," "estimate," "anticipate," "believe" or "continue" or their negative or variations or similar terminology. Forward looking statements involve our current assessment of risks and uncertainties. Actual events and results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in these statements. A non-exclusive list of the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in such forward-looking statements includes the following: the risk that Arch or AIG may be unable to obtain governmental and regulatory approvals required for the proposed transaction, or required governmental and regulatory approvals may delay the proposed transaction, the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the stock purchase agreement or could otherwise cause the failure of the acquisition to close, the risk that a condition to the closing of the proposed transaction may not be satisfied, the failure to obtain any financing necessary to complete the acquisition, the outcome of any legal proceedings, regulatory proceedings or enforcement matters that may be instituted against Arch and others relating to the stock purchase agreement, the timing to consummate the proposed transaction, the diversion of management time and attention on the transaction, adverse general economic and market conditions; increased competition; pricing and policy term trends; fluctuations in the actions of rating agencies and our ability to maintain and improve our ratings; investment performance; the loss of key personnel; the adequacy of our loss reserves, severity and/or frequency of losses, greater than expected loss ratios and adverse development on claim and/or claim expense liabilities; greater frequency or severity of unpredictable natural and man-made catastrophic events; the impact of acts of terrorism and acts of war; changes in regulations and/or tax laws in the United States or elsewhere; our ability to successfully integrate, establish and maintain operating procedures as well as integrate the businesses we have acquired or may acquire into the existing operations; changes in accounting principles or policies; material differences between actual and expected assessments for guaranty funds and mandatory pooling arrangements; availability and cost to us of reinsurance to manage our gross and net exposures; the failure of others to meet their obligations to us; and other factors identified in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The foregoing review of important factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with other cautionary statements that are included herein or elsewhere. All subsequent written and oral forward looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Some non-GAAP measures of financial performance also may be referred to during this presentation. The reconciliation of these measures to GAAP and definition of operating income can be found in Arch’s filings with the SEC, and are also available on Arch’s website. Arch posts additional financial information and presentations to its website, including information with respect to its subsidiaries, and investors and other recipients of this information are encouraged to check the website.
