1 BEST S BRIEFING Our Insight, Your Advantage. September 12, 2017 One potential impact is a change in the behavior of traditional reinsurers and the use of alternative capital instruments Hurricane Irma s Potential Impact on Exposed to Florida The abundance of capacity in the Florida property catastrophe market that over the past five years despite a decline in rate-on-line driven by a benign loss environment and alternative capital providers will be tested by Hurricane Irma, which has carved out a swath of destruction from the Caribbean to Florida and caused one of the largest evacuations in U.S. history. A.M. Best believes one potential impact is a change in the behavior of traditional reinsurers and the use of alternative capital instruments such as catastrophe bonds, collateralized reinsurance programs, sidecar vehicles, and insurance-linked securities (ILS) funds. The current catastrophe bond market exists primarily to provide reinsurance for catastrophic events such as Hurricane Irma. Outstanding catastrophe bonds amounted to approximately USD 24.7 billion as of June 30, 2017, of which approximately USD 12.5 billion covers U.S.-named storm or wind peril as one of the covered perils that could impact Florida. These figures do not reflect all private catastrophe bonds and may be modified as A.M. Best receives more information. Exhibit 1 lists outstanding catastrophe bonds, including catastrophe bonds sponsored by Florida-domiciled insurance companies, reinsurers, and other national primary carriers with significant Florida-named storm and wind-related perils. National insurance writers with significant Florida property exposures and Florida-domiciled property insurers could suffer significant losses depending on the severity of the losses caused by Hurricane Irma. Outstanding catastrophe bonds sponsored by these entities could trigger after retentions and other traditional reinsurance covers have eroded. Exhibit 2 lists the outstanding catastrophe bonds of Florida-domiciled companies with named storms or wind-related perils identified as key perils. These bonds include 29 tranches in outstanding catastrophe bonds, totaling approximately USD 2.5 billion.

4 trigger, the retention level, reinsurance protection by private reinsurers, and the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund (FHCF) must be exhausted up to the attachment level associated with each catastrophe bond. Exhibit 3 lists the outstanding catastrophe bonds of reinsurers and other primary carriers that may be impacted as a result of insured losses from Hurricane Irma. There are approximately 33 catastrophe bonds with U.S. wind-related perils or U.S.-named storms as part of the perils cover. The projected exposed amount associated with these catastrophe bonds is approximately USD 10.0 billion. The sponsors of these catastrophe bonds include reinsurers and national primary insurance companies. The lessons learned after Hurricane Andrew in the 1990s among them, better building codes and more effective evacuation planning and other loss prevention and mitigation techniques may lower insured and non-insured losses despite increases in Florida s population and total insured values during the past decade which amounted to approximately USD 2.2 trillion as of March 31, 2017 (see Exhibit 4) for policies with wind coverage. In A.M. Best s view, insured losses exceeding USD 75 billion would alter the pricing dynamics in the Florida property catastrophe Exhibit 4 Total Insured Value Policies with Florida Wind Coverage Insurer Category* Total Insured Value Citizens Property Insurance Corporation $111,349,610,520 "Pups" $264,159,133,727 Florida-Based $1,528,056,716,862 Others $276,874,248,832 Total $2,180,439,709,941 * Florida's residential property insurance admitted market is divided into four major parts: (i) Citizens; (ii) Florida only subsidiaries "Pups" of major national writers; (iii) Florida-based domestic companies; and (iv) nondomestic nationwide property writers, such as USAA. Notes: 1) Includes admitted insurers only. 2) State Farm Florida filed QUASR data as "trade secret" with the OIR beginning first quarter This exhibit reflects values for State Farm Florida as reported for fourth quarter ) Surplus lines companies are not included in the market share calculation. 4) Based on total insured value for policies with wind coverage. 5) All amounts as of March 31, Source: Citizens Property Insurance Corporation reinsurance market; however, the initial indication from peril modelers is that Hurricane Irma will result in more modest insured losses than this amount. Determining actual losses on outstanding catastrophe bonds will take some time. Other major catastrophic events have led to defaults of some catastrophe bonds, as Exhibit 5 shows. Should extensive insured losses stemming from Hurricane Irma arise, the industry will be faced with questions that could alter the catastrophe bond landscape: 1. Will there be a contraction of convergence capital? 2. Will ILS fund managers continue their current active participation in the primary insurance market? 3. What will be the impact of losses on catastrophe bond spreads and the secondary market for catastrophe bonds? 4
