1 PART OF THE ENSTAR GROUP COMPANY OVERVIEW TORUS OVERVIEW 2015

2 OUR STORY Torus was launched in June 2008 with 20 employees at offices in London and Bermuda. Initially writing energy and large commercial business, our vision was to become a leading global specialty insurer. Today, we have a well-established, diversified global portfolio across specialty, property and casualty lines and serve clients from 12 underwriting hubs worldwide. On 1 April 2014, Torus was acquired by Enstar Group Limited, together with Trident Funds managed by Stone Point Capital. It was a significant point in the evolution of our business. As part of the Enstar Group in partnership with Stone Point, Torus benefits from additional strategic and operational expertise and we are able to offer our clients access to a wider group of professionals in our specialty markets. Our six operating companies benefit from strong risk-adjusted capitalisation, with well-respected underwriting teams, local capabilities, global reach and a claims service that our clients can rely on. We are committed to delivering our original vision, and are selected by clients worldwide as their trusted insurance partner. 2 TORUS OVERVIEW 2015
