Forward-Looking Information
This announcement may include statements with respect to future events, trends, plans, expectations or objectives and other "forward-looking statements" (within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) relating to the Offeror's future business, financial condition, results of operations, performance, and strategy.

Such statements are based on the current views and assumptions of the Offeror's management team and, by nature, involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties; therefore, undue reliance should not be placed on them. Actual financial condition, results of operations, performance or events may differ materially from those expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements, due to a number of factors including, without limitation, general economic and political conditions and competitive situation; future financial market performance and conditions, including fluctuations in exchange and interest rates; frequency and severity of insured or reinsured loss events, and increases in loss expenses; mortality and morbidity levels

Many of these factors may be more likely to occur, or more pronounced, as a result of catastrophic events, including weather-related catastrophic events, pandemics events or terrorist-related incidents. In light of these and other uncertainties, the forward-looking statements included in this announcement and the Offer to Purchase should not be regarded as a representation by the Offeror that its plans and objectives will be achieved.
The Offeror undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any of these forward-looking statements, whether to reflect new information, future events or circumstances or otherwise, except as required by applicable laws and regulations.
