JAMES RIVER ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER 2024 RESULTS, STRATEGIC ACTIONS

Pembroke, Bermuda, November 11, 2024 - James River Group Holdings, Ltd. ("James River" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: JRVR) today reported the following results for the third quarter 2024 as compared to the same period in 20231:
Three Months Ended
September 30,		Three Months Ended
September 30,
($ in thousands, except for share data)2024per diluted share2023per diluted share
Net (loss) income from continuing operations available to common shareholders$(40,702)$(1.07)$21,097 $0.55 
Net loss from discontinued operations(1,304)$(0.03)(4,171)$(0.10)
Net (loss) income available to common shareholders(42,006)$(1.10)16,926 $0.45 
Adjusted net operating (loss) income2
(28,196)$(0.74)18,859 $0.49 
Net loss from continuing operations available to common shareholders was $40.7 million ($1.07 per diluted share). Adjusted net operating loss2 of $28.2 million ($0.74 per diluted share) for the third quarter of 2024 was largely attributable to the previously announced $52.2 million of excess consideration paid over reserves ceded in connection with the Excess and Surplus Lines ("E&S") combined loss portfolio transfer adverse development reinsurance contract ("E&S ADC") that closed on July 2, 2024, as well as $19.2 million of additional adverse development ceded to the E&S ADC and recorded as a deferred reinsurance gain on the Company's balance sheet, and $4.8 million of adverse development retained by the Company. These were partially offset by strong investment income and underwriting profit from our Specialty Admitted segment.
Unless specified otherwise, all underwriting performance ratios presented herein are for our continuing operations and business not subject to retroactive reinsurance accounting for loss portfolio transfers ("LPTs").
Third Quarter 2024 Highlights:
▪E&S segment gross written premium growth was 6% and positive renewal rate change of 8.6%. While the segment reported a 136.1% combined ratio, the current accident year combined ratio for the segment was 92.6%.
▪Specialty Admitted Insurance segment combined ratio of 91.3%, with fronting and program gross written premium growth of 8.7% excluding the non-renewed workers' compensation programs.
1 The Company closed the sale of JRG Reinsurance Company Ltd. on April 16, 2024. The full financials for our former Casualty Reinsurance segment have been classified to discontinued operations for all periods.
2 Adjusted net operating (loss) income, tangible common equity per share and adjusted net operating return on tangible common equity are non-GAAP financial measures. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” at the end of this press release.

▪Net investment income increased 8.1% compared to the prior year quarter, with all asset classes reporting higher income.
▪Shareholders' equity per share of $14.02 decreased 2.1% sequentially from June 30, 2024, due to the net loss from continuing operations, while tangible common equity per share3 increased 1.9% sequentially.
Strategic Actions:
▪The Company is commencing a multi-pronged strategic partnership with Enstar Group Limited ("Enstar"), a leader in P&C industry risk and liability management, under which:
◦Cavello Bay Reinsurance Limited (“Cavello Bay”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Enstar, has agreed to purchase $12.5 million of newly issued common shares at a per share price of $6.40 (subject to certain closing conditions), in addition to 637,640 common shares it already owns through purchases in the open market; and
◦Subsidiaries of the Company have entered into an adverse development reinsurance agreement with Cavello Bay, directly above the existing E&S ADC, with a limit of $75 million and no co-participation4; and
◦Enstar will also have an informal consulting relationship and best practices dialogue with the Company’s claims leadership.
▪The Company amended the convertible preferred shares held by Gallatin Point Capital LLC ("Gallatin Point") to convert $37.5 million liquidation preference of the outstanding preferred shares to common shares at a per share price of $6.40. The quarterly preferred dividend of the remaining $112.5 million liquidation preference will remain at 7% for five years subsequent to September 30, 2024 and will be capped at 8% thereafter. In addition, the voluntary and mandatory conversion prices of the remaining $112.5 million of outstanding preferred shares were amended to increase the conversion premiums to 130% and 200% of the new conversion price of $6.40 per share, respectively.
▪Through these actions, alongside the reduction to the Company's quarterly common dividend, the Company will meaningfully reduce its fixed charges given the opportunity it has to put capital to work at attractive returns, in its E&S segment especially.
▪The Company intends to pursue a plan to redomicile to the United States during 2025 and expects to reduce its effective tax rate closer to the US statutory rate thereafter.
▪See the 2024 Strategic Actions Frequently Asked Questions slides being made available on the Investor Relations page of our website simultaneously with this press release for further information on these Strategic Actions. With these announcements, the Board of Directors have concluded the strategic review process announced in November of 2023. While the strategic review process has been completed, in the ordinary course of business the Company expects to consider beneficial opportunities.



3 Percent change before $0.05 common dividends paid per share during the third quarter of 2024.
4 The Enstar transactions are subject to closing conditions, including receipt by Cavello Bay of regulatory approval of the adverse development cover.

Frank D'Orazio, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, commented on the third quarter, “With the strategic actions we are announcing - notably the addition of Enstar as both a significant shareholder and strategic partner and the continued commitment of Gallatin Point - our highly regarded E&S franchise is significantly de-risked and well positioned to take advantage of strong market support amid a robust E&S environment. Momentum in our Core E&S franchise has continued to build each quarter during 2024 as we continue to balance attractive market conditions with underwriting discipline.”

David Ni, Chief Strategy Officer of Enstar Group, commented, “In conjunction with these transactions, Enstar has had the opportunity to become well-versed with the Company’s business and we are pleased to make a $12.5 million common equity investment, underscoring our support of James River and its E&S franchise.”

Matthew Botein, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Gallatin Point Capital, commented, “I have seen the team at James River make deep and meaningful improvements to the Company over the last several years. These transactions are the culmination of those efforts and Gallatin Point is very supportive of James River as it enters a new phase, where it is poised to capitalize on the market opportunity for its flagship E&S operation.”

–Gross written premium for the Specialty Admitted Insurance segment declined 20.3% compared to the third quarter of 2023, with the reduction due to the impact of the non-renewed workers' compensation program during the second quarter of 2023 and the sale of the renewal rights of the individual risk workers’ compensation business during the third quarter of 2023.

•The third quarter of 2024 reflected $57.0 million of net unfavorable reserve development in the E&S segment and $0.2 million of favorable reserve development in the Specialty Admitted Insurance segment. The Company ceded $71.4 million of year-to-date unfavorable reserve development on business subject to the E&S ADC. This consists of a $52.2 million reserve charge upon execution of the E&S ADC equal to the excess consideration paid over reserves ceded and additional adverse development of $19.2 million that was ceded to the E&S ADC. The deferred retroactive reinsurance gain on the balance sheet associated with the E&S ADC is $19.2 million as of September 30, 2024. Additionally, the Company recognized unfavorable gross reserve development of $0.9 million ($0.0 net) on the reserves subject to the Commercial Auto LPT, which provides unlimited coverage.

•The consolidated expense ratio was 31.4% for the third quarter of 2024, which was an increase from 26.4% in the prior year quarter. The expense ratio increase was primarily driven by higher compensation and bad debt expense, and lower net earned premium in the E&S segment.

Investment Results
Net investment income for the third quarter of 2024 was $23.6 million, an increase of 8.1% compared to $21.8 million in the prior year quarter. Growth in income was broad-based across the portfolio, as cash flow was deployed at higher yields.
The Company’s net investment income consisted of the following:
Three Months Ended

($ in thousands)20242023% Change
Private Investments1,757 27 NM
All Other Investments21,807 21,7720 %
Total Net Investment Income$23,564 $21,799 8 %
The Company’s annualized gross investment yield on average fixed maturity, bank loan and equity securities for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was 4.8% (versus 4.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2023).
Net realized and unrealized gains on investments of $4.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to net realized and unrealized gains on investments of $0.7 million in the prior year quarter. The majority of the realized and unrealized gains during the third quarter of 2024 were related to changes in fair value of our common stock portfolio, partially offset by realized losses on sales in our bank loan and fixed income portfolios.
In connection with the closing of the E&S ADC on July 2, the Company transferred approximately $310.0 million in cash for the payment of the premium to counterparty, State National Insurance Company, Inc.
Capital Management
The Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.01 per common share. This dividend is payable on Tuesday, December 31, 2024 to all shareholders of record on Monday, December 16, 2024.
Tangible Equity
Tangible equity5 of $491.9 million at September 30, 2024 increased 1.4% compared to tangible equity of $485.3 million at June 30, 2024, due to strong unrealized investment gains in accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") as well as an increase in deferred reinsurance gain, partially offset by a net loss from continuing and discontinued operations. Other comprehensive income benefited by $31.1 million during the third quarter of 2024, reducing AOCI to a loss of $42.8 million due to an increase in the value of the Company's fixed maturity securities caused by a decline in interest rates.
5 Tangible equity and tangible common equity excluding AOCI are non-GAAP financial measures. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” at the end of this press release.

This press release contains forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In some cases, such forward-looking statements may be identified by terms such as believe, expect, seek, may, will, should, intend, project, anticipate, plan, estimate, guidance or similar words. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Although it is not possible to identify all of these risks and uncertainties, they include, among others, the following: the inherent uncertainty of estimating reserves and the possibility that incurred losses may be greater than our loss and loss adjustment expense reserves; inaccurate estimates and judgments in our risk management may expose us to greater risks than intended; downgrades in the financial strength rating or outlook of our regulated insurance subsidiaries impacting our ability to attract and retain insurance business that our subsidiaries write, our competitive position, and our financial condition; the outcome of our exploration of strategic alternatives, and market reaction thereto; the failure to close the common equity and adverse development cover reinsurance transactions with Enstar Group Limited announced on November 11, 2024; the amount of the final post-closing adjustment to the purchase price received in connection with the sale of our casualty reinsurance business and outcome of litigation relating to such transactions; the potential loss of key members of our management team or key employees and our ability to attract and retain personnel; adverse economic factors resulting in the sale of fewer policies than expected or an increase in the frequency or severity of claims, or both; the impact of a higher than expected inflationary environment on our reserves, the values of our investments and investment returns, and our compensation expenses; exposure to credit risk, interest rate risk and other market risk in our investment portfolio; reliance on a select group of brokers and agents for a significant portion of our business and the impact of our potential failure to maintain such relationships; reliance on a select group of customers for a significant portion of our business and the impact of our potential failure to maintain, or decision to terminate, such relationships; our ability to obtain insurance and reinsurance coverage at prices and on terms that allow us to transfer risk, adequately protect our company against financial loss and that supports our growth plans; losses resulting from reinsurance counterparties failing to pay us on reinsurance claims, insurance companies with whom we have a fronting arrangement failing to pay us for claims, or a former customer with whom we have an indemnification arrangement failing to perform its reimbursement obligations, and our potential inability to demand or maintain adequate collateral to mitigate such risks; inadequacy of premiums we charge to compensate us for our losses incurred; changes in laws or government regulation, including tax or insurance law and regulations; changes in U.S. tax laws and the interpretation of certain provisions of Public Law No. 115-97, informally titled the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (including associated regulations), which may be retroactive and could have a significant effect on us including, among other things, by potentially increasing our tax rate, as well as on our shareholders; in the event we do not qualify for the insurance company

exception to the passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) rules and are therefore considered a PFIC, there could be material adverse tax consequences to an investor that is subject to U.S. federal income taxation; the Company or its foreign subsidiary becoming subject to U.S. federal income taxation; a failure of any of the loss limitations or exclusions we utilize to shield us from unanticipated financial losses or legal exposures, or other liabilities; losses from catastrophic events, such as natural disasters and terrorist acts, which substantially exceed our expectations and/or exceed the amount of reinsurance we have purchased to protect us from such events; potential effects on our business of emerging claim and coverage issues; the potential impact of internal or external fraud, operational errors, systems malfunctions or cyber security incidents; our ability to manage our growth effectively; failure to maintain effective internal controls in accordance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended; changes in our financial condition, regulations or other factors that may restrict our subsidiaries’ ability to pay us dividends; and an adverse result in any litigation or legal proceedings we are or may become subject to. Additional information about these risks and uncertainties, as well as others that may cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, is contained in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this release and the Company does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information to reflect changes in assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events, or otherwise.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Such measures, including underwriting (loss) profit, adjusted net operating (loss) income, tangible equity, tangible common equity, adjusted net operating return on tangible equity (which is calculated as annualized adjusted net operating income divided by the average quarterly tangible equity balances in the respective period), and adjusted net operating return on tangible common equity excluding AOCI (which is calculated as annualized adjusted net operating income divided by the average quarterly tangible common equity balances in the respective period, excluding AOCI), are referred to as non-GAAP measures.

Underwriting Performance Ratios

The following table provides the underwriting performance ratios of the Company's continuing operations inclusive of the business subject to retroactive reinsurance accounting for loss portfolio transfers. There is no economic impact to the Company over the life of a loss portfolio transfer contract so long as any additional losses subject to the contract are within the limit of the loss portfolio transfer and the counterparty performs under the contract. Retroactive reinsurance accounting is not indicative of our current and ongoing operations. Management believes that providing loss ratios and combined ratios on business not subject to retroactive reinsurance accounting for loss portfolio transfers gives the users of our financial statements useful information in evaluating our current and ongoing operations.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES

Underwriting Profit

The following table reconciles the underwriting profit by individual operating segment and for the entire Company to consolidated income from continuing operations before taxes. We believe that the disclosure of underwriting profit by individual segment and of the Company as a whole is useful to investors, analysts, rating agencies and other users of our financial information in evaluating our performance because our objective is to consistently earn underwriting profits. We evaluate the performance of our segments and allocate resources based primarily on underwriting profit. We define underwriting profit as net earned premiums and gross fee income (in specific instances when the Company is not retaining insurance risk) less losses and loss adjustment expenses on business from continuing operations not subject to retroactive reinsurance accounting for loss portfolio transfers and other operating expenses. Other operating expenses include the underwriting, acquisition, and insurance expenses of the operating segments and, for consolidated underwriting profit, the expenses of the Corporate and Other segment. Our definition of underwriting profit may not be comparable to that of other companies.

Adjusted Net Operating Income

We define adjusted net operating income as income available to common shareholders excluding a) income (loss) from discontinued operations b) the impact of retroactive reinsurance accounting for loss portfolio transfers, c) net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments, d) certain non-operating expenses such as professional service fees related to various strategic initiatives, and the filing of registration statements for the offering of securities, and e) severance costs associated with terminated employees. We use adjusted net operating income as an internal performance measure in the management of our operations because we believe it gives our management and other users of our financial information useful insight into our results of operations and our underlying business performance. Adjusted net operating income should not be viewed as a substitute for net income calculated in accordance with GAAP, and our definition of adjusted net operating income may not be comparable to that of other companies.

Tangible Equity (per Share) and Tangible Common Equity (per Share)

We define tangible equity as shareholders' equity plus mezzanine Series A preferred shares and the unrecognized deferred retroactive reinsurance gain on loss portfolio transfers less goodwill and intangible assets (net of amortization). We define tangible common equity as tangible equity less mezzanine Series A preferred shares. Our definition of tangible equity and tangible common equity may not be comparable to that of other companies, and it should not be viewed as a substitute for shareholders’ equity calculated in accordance with GAAP. We use tangible equity and tangible common equity internally to evaluate the strength of our balance sheet and to compare returns relative to this measure. The following table reconciles shareholders’ equity to tangible equity and tangible common equity for September 30, 2024, June 30, 2024, December 31, 2023, and September 30, 2023.

Forward Looking Statements 2 This presentation contains forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In some cases, such forward- looking statements may be identified by terms such as believe, expect, seek, may, will, should, intend, project, anticipate, plan, estimate, guidance or similar words. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Although it is not possible to identify all of these risks and uncertainties, they include, among others, the following: the inherent uncertainty of estimating reserves and the possibility that incurred losses may be greater than our loss and loss adjustment expense reserves; inaccurate estimates and judgments in our risk management may expose us to greater risks than intended; downgrades in the financial strength rating or outlook of our regulated insurance subsidiaries impacting our ability to attract and retain insurance business that our subsidiaries write, our competitive position, and our financial condition; the outcome of our exploration of strategic alternatives, and the market reaction thereto; the failure to close the common equity and adverse development reinsurance transaction with Enstar Group Limited announced on November 11, 2024; the amount of the final post-closing adjustment to the purchase price received in connection with the sale of our casualty reinsurance business and the outcome of litigation relating to such transactions; the potential loss of key members of our management team or key employees and our ability to attract and retain personnel; adverse economic factors resulting in the sale of fewer policies than expected or an increase in the frequency or severity of claims, or both; the impact of a higher than expected inflationary environment on our reserves, the values of our investments and investment returns, and our compensation expenses; exposure to credit risk, interest rate risk and other market risk in our investment portfolio; reliance on a select group of brokers and agents for a significant portion of our business and the impact of our potential failure to maintain such relationships; reliance on a select group of customers for a significant portion of our business and the impact of our potential failure to maintain, or decision to terminate, such relationships; our ability to obtain insurance and reinsurance coverage at prices and on terms that allow us to transfer risk, adequately protect our company against financial loss and that supports our growth plans; losses resulting from reinsurance counterparties failing to pay us on reinsurance claims, insurance companies with whom we have a fronting arrangement failing to pay us for claims, or a former customer with whom we have an indemnification arrangement failing to perform its reimbursement obligations, and our potential inability to demand or maintain adequate collateral to mitigate such risks; inadequacy of premiums we charge to compensate us for our losses incurred; changes in laws or government regulation, including tax or insurance law and regulations; changes in U.S. tax laws including associated regulations and the interpretation of certain provisions applicable to insurance / reinsurance businesses with U.S., and non-U.S. operations, which may be retroactive and could have a significant effect on us including, among other things, by potentially increasing our tax rate, as well as on our shareholders; in the event we do not qualify for the insurance company exception to the passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) rules and are therefore considered a PFIC, there could be material adverse tax consequences to an investor that is subject to U.S. federal income taxation; the Company or its foreign subsidiary becoming subject to U.S. federal income taxation; a failure of any of the loss limitations or exclusions we utilize to shield us from unanticipated financial losses or legal exposures, or other liabilities; losses from catastrophic events, such as natural disasters and terrorist acts, which substantially exceed our expectations and/or exceed the amount of reinsurance we have purchased to protect us from such events; potential effects on our business of emerging claim and coverage issues; the amount of the final post-closing adjustment to the purchase price received in connection with the sale of our casualty reinsurance business; the potential impact of internal or external fraud, operational errors, systems malfunctions or cyber security incidents; our ability to manage our growth effectively; failure to maintain effective internal controls in accordance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; changes in our financial condition, regulations or other factors that may restrict our subsidiaries’ ability to pay us dividends; and an adverse result in any litigation or legal proceedings we are or may become subject to. Additional information about these risks and uncertainties, as well as others that may cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, is contained in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These forward- looking statements speak only as of the date of this presentation and the Company does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information to reflect changes in assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events, or otherwise.

 
Frequently Asked Questions 3 • The current positioning of James River Group Holdings, Ltd. (“James River” or the “Company”) in the E&S sector provides a robust opportunity to generate mid double-digit returns on capital while continuing to add profitable scale during attractive market conditions. • Sophisticated investors have expressed their support for the Company’s balance sheet and franchise going forward. The show of support from two of the sector’s more sophisticated investors taking an equity position – one being one of the industry’s leading experts on risk and reserve management – provides strong validation of the Company’s current positioning and path ahead. • David Ni, Chief Strategy Officer of Enstar Group, commented, “In conjunction with these transactions, Enstar has had the opportunity to become well-versed with the Company’s business and we are pleased to make a $12.5 million common equity investment, underscoring our support of James River and its E&S franchise.” • Matthew Botein, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Gallatin Point Capital, commented, “I have seen the team at James River make deep and meaningful improvements to the Company over the last several years. These transactions are the culmination of those efforts and Gallatin Point is very supportive of James River as it enters a new phase, where it is poised to capitalize on the market opportunity for its flagship E&S operation.” Why is the Company embarking upon these transactions? 1

 
Frequently Asked Questions 4 • James River is commencing a multi-pronged strategic partnership with Enstar Group Limited ("Enstar"), a leader in P&C industry risk and liability management. As a result, Enstar, through its subsidiary, Cavello Bay Reinsurance Limited, (“Cavello Bay”) has: – Agreed to purchase $12.5 million of newly issued common shares at a per share price of $6.40 (subject to certain closing conditions), in addition to 637,640 common shares Enstar already owns through purchases in the open market; – Executed an adverse development cover (“ADC”) agreement with two James River subsidiaries for a limit of $75 million sitting directly above the existing E&S ADC through State National Insurance Company(1). – Enstar will also have an ongoing informal consulting relationship and best practices dialogue with the Company’s claims leadership across a myriad of industry topics. • Additionally, the Company also amended the terms of the Gallatin Point convertible preferred shares, enabling the conversion of $37.5 million liquidation preference of the outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Shares to common shares at a per share price of $6.40. – Through these actions, alongside the reduction to the Company's quarterly common dividend, the Company will meaningfully reduce its fixed charges given the opportunity it has to put capital to work at attractive returns, in its E&S segment especially. – The quarterly preferred dividend on the remaining $112.5 million liquidation preference will remain at 7% for five years subsequent to September 30, 2024 and be capped at 8% thereafter. In addition, the voluntary and mandatory conversion prices of the remaining $112.5 million of outstanding preferred shares were amended to increase the conversion premiums to 130% and 200% of the new conversion price of $6.40 per share, respectively. – The Company intends to pursue a plan to redomicile to the United States during 2025 and expects to reduce its effective tax rate closer to the US statutory rate thereafter. • With these announcements, in addition to those announced in July 2024 and the completion of the sale of JRG Reinsurance Company Ltd. earlier this year, the Board of Directors has concluded the strategic review process announced in November of 2023. While the strategic review process has been completed, in the ordinary course of business the Company expects to consider beneficial opportunities. What does today’s announcement mean? 2 1) The Enstar transactions are subject to closing conditions, including receipt by Cavello Bay of regulatory approval of the adverse development cover.

 
Frequently Asked Questions 5 What retrocessional reinsurance has the Company purchased? • Subsidiaries of James River have signed an ADC reinsurance agreement for E&S segment casualty reserves inclusive of accident years 2010 – 2023. – This agreement excludes exposure to the Company’s former large commercial auto insured (with the vast majority of that exposure already subject to a previously executed loss portfolio transfer). • Under the terms of the agreement, James River is purchasing $75 MM of ADC limit (without a co-participation) for a net premium of $52.8 MM (pre-tax) from Cavello Bay. The reinsurance agreement was executed on November 11, 2024 and is expected to close shortly subject to regulatory approval(1). There are no sublimits in the coverage provided. • The subject business is E&S segment business written by the two operating companies exclusively supporting the segment, James River Insurance Company and James River Casualty Company. Cavello Bay (S&P rated “A” with stable outlook) is the counterparty reinsurer. James River will retain all claims handling responsibilities on this portfolio. – As of October 1, 2024, James River will have $150 MM of adverse development cover remaining supporting accident years 2010-2023 inclusive across the majority of its reserves. 4 • The Company is well positioned to move forward from a position of strength and generate attractive returns on capital. • Its flagship E&S business, which produced over $1.0 BN of gross premiums written in 2023, continues to have a very robust following within the wholesale distribution community and has benefitted from both double-digit growth in new and renewal submissions and continued high single digit or better growth in renewal rates. • Over the last four years, the Company has strengthened its management team, board of directors and operational governance, demonstrating a stronger focus on risk management and performance monitoring while continuing to take advantage of a robust environment for its franchise E&S business. • The show of support from two of the sectors more sophisticated investors taking an equity position – one being one of the industry’s leading experts on risk and reserve management - provides strong validation of the Company’s current positioning and path ahead. How is the Company positioned to move forward? 3 1) The Enstar transactions are subject to closing conditions, including receipt by Cavello Bay of regulatory approval of the adverse development cover.

 
Frequently Asked Questions 6 • The transactions provide several benefits to the Company, including: 1. Meaningful reserve and balance sheet protection; 2. A higher level of certainty for our stakeholders; and 3. Capital to support the profitable growth of James River’s E&S segment. Why did James River enter into these transactions? What is the cost of the transaction and financial impact on James River? When will the cost appear on the Company’s financial statements? Regarding the ADC: • When the ADC closes, James River will recognize a $52.8 MM reduction in pre-tax income for the premium paid in connection with the agreement. • Once the transaction is recognized, should the Company experience adverse development on the subject business, it would be subject to the reinsurance agreement.
