This Supplement No. 3 supplements and, to the extent inconsistent
therewith, amends the information contained in the prospectus of ACE
Limited, a Cayman Islands company, dated August 14, 1998 as supplemented by
Prospectus Supplement No. 1 dated May 4, 1999, Prospectus Supplement No. 1
(Revised) dated May 4, 1999 and Prospectus Supplement No. 2 dated
May 10, 1999.
We have been informed by Insurance Partners Charman (Bermuda),
L.P., a Bermuda limited partnership ("IPC"), and Insurance Partners
Offshore (Bermuda), L.P., a Bermuda limited partnership ("IPO"), that they
have made pro rata distributions of an aggregate of 7,952,613 ordinary
shares to their direct and indirect partners (each a "Partner"). The
7,952,613 ordinary shares represent all of the ordinary shares registered
on behalf of IPC and IPO in the prospectus. As described in Prospectus
Supplement No. 2 dated May 10, 1999, a total of 2,315,483 of these ordinary
shares were sold by the Partners named therein to J.P. Morgan Securities
Inc., as underwriter.
The following table sets forth the name of each selling
shareholder, the number of ordinary shares beneficially owned by each
selling shareholder and the number of ordinary shares offered hereby. We
have been informed by the selling shareholders that, except as set forth in
the footnotes to the table, none of the selling shareholders has held any
position, office or other material relationship with us or any of our
affiliates within the past three years other than as a result of his, her
or its ownership of ordinary shares (or securities convertible into or
exercisable for ordinary shares). None of the figures below for any selling
shareholder individually represents 1% or more of our outstanding ordinary
shares.
The ordinary shares listed in the following table may be offered
from time to time by the selling shareholders named below. However, such
selling shareholders are under no obligation to sell all or any portion of
such ordinary shares, nor are the selling shareholders obligated to sell
any such ordinary shares immediately under the prospectus. Because the
selling shareholders may sell all or part of their ordinary shares, no
estimate can be given as to the number of ordinary shares that will be held
by any selling shareholder upon termination of any offering made hereby.
