It also reflects the common ownership and management and other implicit support provided through its relationship with Markel Bermuda. The following text is derived from Best's Insurance Report on Markel Bermuda Limited (AMB# ): Balance Sheet Strength: Strongest Strongest level of risk-adjusted capital as measured by Best's Capital Adequacy Ratio (BCAR) is supported by a conservative reinsurance program consisting primarily of highly-rated companies and significant collateral. Page 2 of 116 Printed April 30, 2018

3 Alterra America Insurance Company Substantial exposure to common equity leverage is offset by Markel Corporation's long-term favorable track record of managing these investments. The group's exposure to natural catastrophe has caused variability in surplus growth, but is controlled within the group's stated risk appetite. Operating Performance: Adequate Operating performance generally outperforms the industry, although it lags that of its reinsurance peers. Underwriting performance has been variable, and investment income has declined over the five-year period (although increasing in the more recent years), producing variable levels of pre-tax operating income and pre-tax RORs. Surplus growth has also been variable over the five-year period, reflecting the changes in operating income and payment of dividends. ROEs have averaged 8.3% through 2016, but the average will decline at year-end 2017 as a result of the expected declines in income and surplus. Business Profile: Neutral The group's business is well-diversified by geography (internationally and within the US). It also includes both reinsurance (56% of 2016 NPW) and primary insurance, which consists primarily of coverage for multinational operations of clients and unique and hard-to-place risks written in the London market. The group's market position within the global reinsurance segment is modest, ranking 38th based on 2016 assumed non-affiliated gross premium written. Enterprise Risk Management: Appropriate Markel has developed, implemented and embedded a risk management framework that appropriately addresses the risks inherent in its profile. The rating unit has implemented this framework and has developed risk management capabilities that are generally appropriate for its risk profile. The group's risk management capabilities generally meet or exceed its risk profile. Outlook The stable outlook reflects the group's Strongest balance sheet strength, adequate operating performance and business profile, and its appropriate ERM. The trends in these factors do not indicate any change in the rating is likely in the near to mid-term. Rating Drivers Rating factors that could lead to an upgrade in these ratings include continued favorable operating profitability coupled with maintenance of a strong risk-adjusted capital level and/or explicit or implicit support from Markel. Positive rating action could result from a change in A.M. Best's view of the strategic position of the companies within the unit to the overall Markel enterprise. Alternatively, factors that could lead to a downgrade in these ratings and/or a revised outlook to negative include unfavorable operating profitability trends, outsized catastrophe or investment losses relative to peers, significant adverse loss reserve development or a material decline in its risk-adjusted capital.

The ratings also recognize common ownership, common management as well as the explicit and implied support of future parental commitment if and when necessary. The following text is derived from Best's Insurance Report on Markel Bermuda Limited (AMB# ): Balance Sheet Strength: Strongest Page 28 of 116 Printed April 30, 2018

29 Essentia Insurance Company Strongest level of risk-adjusted capital as measured by Best's Capital Adequacy Ratio (BCAR) is supported by a conservative reinsurance program consisting primarily of highly-rated companies and significant collateral. Substantial exposure to common equity leverage is offset by Markel Corporation's long-term favorable track record of managing these investments. The group's exposure to natural catastrophe has caused variability in surplus growth, but is controlled within the group's stated risk appetite. Operating Performance: Adequate Operating performance generally outperforms the industry, although it lags that of its reinsurance peers. Underwriting performance has been variable, and investment income has declined over the five-year period (although increasing in the more recent years), producing variable levels of pre-tax operating income and pre-tax RORs. Surplus growth has also been variable over the five-year period, reflecting the changes in operating income and payment of dividends. ROEs have averaged 8.3% through 2016, but the average will decline at year-end 2017 as a result of the expected declines in income and surplus. Business Profile: Neutral The group's business is well-diversified by geography (internationally and within the US). It also includes both reinsurance (56% of 2016 NPW) and primary insurance, which consists primarily of coverage for multinational operations of clients and unique and hard-to-place risks written in the London market. The group's market position within the global reinsurance segment is modest, ranking 38th based on 2016 assumed non-affiliated gross premium written. Enterprise Risk Management: Appropriate Markel has developed, implemented and embedded a risk management framework that appropriately addresses the risks inherent in its profile. The rating unit has implemented this framework and has developed risk management capabilities that are generally appropriate for its risk profile. The group's risk management capabilities generally meet or exceed its risk profile. Outlook The stable outlook reflects the group's Strongest balance sheet strength, adequate operating performance and business profile, and its appropriate ERM. The trends in these factors do not indicate any change in the rating is likely in the near to mid-term. Rating Drivers Rating factors that could lead to an upgrade in these ratings include continued favorable operating profitability coupled with maintenance of a strong risk-adjusted capital level and/or explicit or implicit support from Markel. Positive rating action could result from a change in A.M. Best's view of the strategic position of the companies within the unit to the overall Markel enterprise. Alternatively, factors that could lead to a downgrade in these ratings and/or a revised outlook to negative include unfavorable operating profitability trends, outsized catastrophe or investment losses relative to peers, significant adverse loss reserve development or a material decline in its risk-adjusted capital.
