Safe Harbor for Forward-Looking Statements
Some of the statements in Exhibit 99.1 may include forward-looking statements
which reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial
performance. Such statements may include forward-looking statements both with
respect to us in general and the insurance and reinsurance sectors specifically,
both as to underwriting and investment matters. Statements which include the
words "expect," "intend," "plan," "believe," "project," "anticipate," "seek,"
"will," and similar statements of a future or forward looking nature identify
forward-looking statements in Exhibit 99.1 for purposes of the U.S. federal
securities laws or otherwise. We intend these forward-looking statements to be
covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements in the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
All forward-looking statements address matters that involve risks and
uncertainties. Accordingly, there are or may be important factors that could
cause actual results to differ from those indicated in the forward-looking
statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, competition, possible
terrorism or the outbreak of war, the frequency or severity of unpredictable
catastrophic events, changes in demand for insurance or reinsurance, rating
agency actions, uncertainties in our reserving process, a change in our tax
status, acceptance of our products, the availability of reinsurance or
retrocessional coverage, retention of key personnel, political conditions,
changes in accounting policies, changes in general economic conditions and other
factors described in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and
we undertake no obligation publicly to update or revise any forward-looking
statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or
otherwise.
