Novae is a diversified property and casualty (re) insurance business operating through Syndicate 2007 at Lloyd s. The Group is based in London and has been listed on the London Stock Exchange since 1998. The development and diversification of Novae s underwriting portfolio, combined with a prudent approach to reserving and disciplined expense management is integral to achieving market leading performance across the Group. www.novae.com 2 MARINE, AVIATION, POLITICAL RISK & SPECIALTY MARINE, AVIATION, POLITICAL RISK & SPECIALTY 3

Our strategic aim is to be a leading underwriter of specialist classes of insurance, where the knowledge and experience of our underwriters, combined with flexibility and innovation, deliver us a competitive advantage. Current market conditions require insurers to adapt and innovate, and this is precisely what we have been doing in recent years in the way we have changed and repositioned our business. Matthew Fosh, CEO Novae Group plc 4 MARINE, AVIATION, POLITICAL RISK & SPECIALTY MARINE, AVIATION, POLITICAL RISK & SPECIALTY 5

SPECIALTY INSURANCE SOLUTIONS FROM EXPERT UNDERWRITERS OUR APPROACH IN ACTION Expert underwriting is fundamental to Novae s position as a leading innovative specialty insurer. By cultivating, developing and maintaining knowledge and capabilities in speciality classes of business, the Group is able to deliver excellence in products and service. In response to changing market conditions, we are increasingly focusing on areas of business where we can exhibit a demonstrable competitive advantage and reducing exposure in more generalist areas where we do not offer any great differentiation. Underwriting units are organised into two operating divisions: Property and Marine, Aviation, Political Risk & Specialty (MAPS). This approach improves visibility around performance, assists in the development of new sub-classes, facilitates more efficient reinsurance buying and supports organic growth. Central to achieving our strategic objectives is the recruitment and retention of high quality underwriters who have track records of delivery across the market cycle and deep-rooted relationships with brokers and insureds. We invest heavily in underwriting talent, both external hires and home grown talent. Strengthening Underwriting Expertise We have made significant hires across the business, including Caroline Koczerzat as deputy divisional head of MAPS, Helen Steadman as unit head of Cargo & Specie, Tim Woodhouse as team leader of Political Violence and Jo Chadha, Michael Shen, Sharif Gardner, Stuart Quick in Cyber. Maximising Lloyd s Market Opportunities Award-Winning Product Innovation In 2016 we established Special Purpose Arrangement 6129 ( SPA 6129 ) with Securis, which leverages our agility and underwriting expertise within the Excess & Surplus Lines market in the US. SPA 6129 enables us to broaden the scope of business we write, and was named Innovation of the Year at the London Market Reactions Magazine Awards. Our Construction unit, which was established in 2016 by Steve Cross, forms part of the Lloyd s Construction Consortium. The Consortium is a collaboration of six of the market s major construction insurers and offers a combined PML capacity of up to 320m, thereby providing a viable alternative to the established construction markets. 6 MARINE, AVIATION, & POLITICAL RISK & SPECIALTY MARINE, AVIATION, POLITICAL RISK & SPECIALTY 7

It aims to respond to all claims promptly and fairly. Novae s experienced adjusters operate in specialist teams to ensure the right person is handling customers claims. These teams adopt a proactive approach to case management, supported where appropriate by third party technical and legal experts to ensure the timely, effective resolution of claims. The Group s flat management structure allows adjusters to rapidly escalate issues to senior decision makers, thereby further accelerating the claims handling process. Novae seeks to establish long-term relationships with all stakeholders, and is accordingly committed to maintaining the highest standards of professionalism and integrity and to communicating with brokers and insureds with clarity and transparency. Mark Batterbury Group Claims Director Tel: +44 (0) 20 7050 9162 mbatterbury@novae.com The units noted in the Marine, Aviation, Political Risk & Specialty (MAPS) division accounted for 36.2% ( 326.3 million) of Novae Group s gross written premium in 2016. Following the closure of the Casualty division, the MAPS portfolio consists of 6 major areas, Marine, Cyber, Political Risk, Energy, Aviation Reinsurance, and USA Excess Casualty business. All areas are well established within Novae and have consistently produced significant underwriting profits for the Group. In each division, Novae operates a Programmes Unit to provide innovative solutions for Facilites, which fall outside of individual classes of business. 8 MARINE, AVIATION, POLITICAL RISK & SPECIALTY MARINE, AVIATION, POLITICAL RISK & SPECIALTY 9
