29 MetroCat Re Metropolitan Transit Authority Rule 144A Catastrophe Bond (publicly traded) $200 million Available Limit 3 Year Coverage Period NYC Storm Surge Losses Covered

30 Diversity Utilize additional sources of reinsurance coverage Why?

31 Sample Catastrophe Reinsurance Structure - CCRIF 135M Traditional Reinsurance Catastrophe Bond Cat bond = partial share of highest layers (5% or less chance of loss) 60M Traditional Reinsurance 30M Pool Retention Traditional Reinsurance 25M Lower layers = traditional reinsurance or self-retention Pool Retention 0M

32 Diversity Utilize additional sources of reinsurance coverage Capacity Some perils difficult to reinsure Why? Flexibility Options for various payment triggers based on pool loss and/or industry loss

33 Superstorm Sandy (2012)

34 MTA Superstorm Sandy Impacts 6,000 5,000 $5B 4,000 3,000 Funding Gap: $920M 2,000 1,000 $950M 0 Total Sandy Cost Net Sandy Cost (After insurance and federal recoveries) $30M Average Net Annual Operating Income Source: MTA Annual Reports

35 MetroCat Reporting Stations Source: MetroCat Offering

36 Diversity Utilize additional sources of reinsurance coverage Capacity Some perils difficult to reinsure Why? Price Alternative capital competitive with traditional reinsurance, and in some cases even more affordable Flexibility Options for various payment triggers based on pool loss and/or industry loss

37 A Softening Market Cat Bond Prices 2011: Most catastrophe losses on record (Japan earthquake/tsunami) 2012: Superstorm Sandy Coupon 2013: ~40% price drop Source: Plenum Investments and Guy Carpenter BB Rated Cat Bonds

40 1) What is a catastrophe bond? What is alternative capital? 2) How have they been used to date to insure public sector risk? What are the reasons to consider utilizing alternative capital? 3) Is alternative capital a good fit for your governmental risk pool?

41 Is Alternative Capital a Good Fit for Governmental Risk Pools? Geographically concentrated catastrophe risk exposure? Yes Active and innovative risk management programs? Yes Necessary size of portfolio? Increasingly Yes

42 (CAT Bonds) Alternative Capital Growth

43 Size of Market (in $B) Projected Growth of Alternative Capital Range: $90B to $150B Est. YE 2014 Est (Various Sources)

44 Size of Transaction (in $M) Different Scales for Different Insureds 3,125 Median Catastrophe Bonds Cat Bond Lites Collateralized Re

45 Key Takeaways 1. Catastrophe bonds and other alternative capital tools allow financial investors to participate directly in the reinsurance markets. 2. Cedents utilize alternative capital to diversify their reinsurance portfolio, gain access to additional capacity and flexibility, and reduce reinsurance costs. 3. Historically, only large cedents utilized alternative capital but rapid growth is allowing for smaller and more custom deals, helping to drive down prices across the entire reinsurance market.
