Hurricane Harvey Overview Hurricane Harvey made its first landfall on August 25 at 10:00 PM CDT near Rockport, Texas Landfall Intensity: 130 mph Category 4 Highest recorded storm surge: 9.67 feet at Manchester, TX August 26-30: Storm essentially stopped its forward motion and prompted historic rainfall and catastrophic flooding across east-central & northeast Texas and southern Louisiana NOAA has deemed Harvey the worst flooding event in Houston s history Major wind damage in some spots near the landfall location Aon Benfield Auto Practice Group 3
Extensive Flooding & Rainfall Rainfall Accumulations Inland Flood Extent The flooding from Hurricane Harvey is catastrophic and widespread Impact Forecasting has provided a footprint of the flooding and at this point no model vendors have come out with tracks or projected loss estimates The number of risks in the footprint are imprecise, but are estimated to be ~3.4M risks with a total insured value of ~$37B Aon Benfield Auto Practice Group 4

Factors Influencing the Seemingly Large APD Contribution to Loss Sandy was not a severe wind event, but it was a severe surge event Many individuals did not evacuate impacted areas If they did, they may have used public transportation, leaving vehicles vulnerable Others may have only driven their primary vehicle away from storm s path The flooding of major transportation tunnels leading into and out of highly populated areas may have also contributed to the exceptionally high auto losses For example Tropical Storm Allison, a 2001 tropical storm impacting the Houston area, flooded tunnels, several major highways, and parking structures APD contribution was 22% of total insured loss for that event When the event severity is low, auto physical damage tends to be a greater portion of total loss Aon Benfield Auto Practice Group 8 Auto Loss as a Percent of Total PCS Losses: PCS Events 1998 2013 Hurricane Category 0 1 2 3 4 % Auto Loss 13% 12% 6% 5% 7% # Events 11 8 6 6 5 Source: Aon Benfield Analytics APD contribution in Sandy (14.5%) relatively consistent with historical tropical storms and Category 1 hurricanes

Industry Reports https://www.cnbc.com/2017/08/29/a-half-million-flooded-cars-and-trucks-could-be-scrapped.html https://www.reinsurancene.ws/harvey-insured-loss-will-large-geico-exposure-similar-sandy-warren-buffett/ 30th August 2017 - Author: Steve Evans Warren Buffett of reinsurance and investments giant Berkshire Hathaway said today that he expects that the insured loss from hurricane Harvey will be large, but uninsured will eclipse it, while also admitting that his auto insurer Geico could face a similar impact to the one it suffered from superstorm Sandy. In the case of our particularly company, we write about 10% of the auto insurance in Texas, he said referring to Berkshire Hathaway s Geico subsidiary. If you have comprehensive insurance which covers flood, and about 70% of people who buy auto insurance get that, then you may well have a total loss. Buffett then went on to explain that Geico could face a loss of the magnitude it saw after superstorm Sandy. We have about 500,000 cars insured in that area, around 10% of the total, and we don t know at this point but I wouldn t be surprised if we had 50,000 losses, and most of them would be total losses, he said, adding that this would be about the same amount of losses as Geico saw from Sandy. When asked what he thought of insured loss estimates suggesting the re/insurance market could face $10 billion to $20 billion of losses from hurricane Harvey, while the economic loss could be as high as $150 billion, Buffett said Nobody has too good a feel, but those don t strike me as silly in any way.

Conclusions Aon Benfield is closely monitoring Harvey and will continue to provide updates Variables impacting loss are emerging as flooding continues Auto assumptions will vary due to the mobile nature of the risk ~500k of impacted vehicles seems reasonable based on current conditions ~70% of Auto is Comprehensive, 30% does not include Auto Physical Damage $3B to $6B is a reasonable range considering flooding impact observed in Sandy and Katrina Source: NASA Aon Benfield Auto Practice Group 16
