ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15 of the Exchange Act at December 31, 2024. Based on upon that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2024.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that:
● pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;
● provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and
● provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on its financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting may vary over time. Our system contains self-monitoring mechanisms, and actions are taken to correct deficiencies as they are identified.
Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the system of internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in the Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the 2013 framework). Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that our system of internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2024.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Greenlight Capital Re, Ltd.
Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Greenlight Capital Re, Ltd. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, of the Company and our report dated March 10, 2025, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Greenlight Capital Re, Ltd.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Greenlight Capital Re, Ltd. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations , changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes and the schedules listed in the Index at Item 15 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 10, 2025, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
We did not audit the financial statements of Solasglas Investments, LP, an equity method investment of the Company, as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and for each of the three years in period ended December 31, 2024. The Company’s investment in Solasglas Investments, LP as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $387.1 million and $258.9 million, respectively, and its equity in net income of Solasglas Investments, LP was $33.6 million, $28.7 million and $54.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022. The financial statements of Solasglas Investments, LP were audited by Ernst & Young Ltd. whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Solasglas Investments, LP, is based solely on the report of Ernst & Young Ltd.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits and the report of Ernst & Young Ltd. provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Loss and loss adjustment expense reserves - Refer to Notes 2 and 7 to the consolidated financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company’s estimate of loss and loss adjustment expense reserves is derived using expected trends in claim severity and frequency and other factors that may vary significantly as claims are settled. The estimate is sensitive to significant assumptions, including the initial expected loss ratio and loss development factors. The estimate is also sensitive to the selection of actuarial methods and weighting of these methods applied to project the ultimate losses, the estimation of ultimate reserves associated with catastrophic events, and other factors. Further, not all catastrophic events can be modeled using traditional actuarial methodologies, which increases the degree of judgment needed in estimating loss reserves for such events.

Auditing the Company’s methods, assumptions and best estimate of the cost of the ultimate settlement and administration of claims represented by the incurred but not reported ("IBNR") claims included in recorded Loss and loss adjustment expense reserves involved especially subjective auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the involvement of our actuarial specialists.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to loss and loss adjustment expense reserves included the following, among others
• We tested the effectiveness of controls over the valuation of the recorded loss and loss adjustment expense reserves, including the review and approval process that management has in place for significant actuarial methods and assumptions used and the approval of management’s best estimate of loss and loss adjustment expense reserves.
• We tested the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data that served as the basis for the Company’s actuarial analysis, including historical claims data, to test the reasonableness of key inputs to the actuarial estimate.
• With the assistance of our actuarial specialists:
– We independently developed an estimate of the reserves for selected contracts, compared our estimates to those booked by the Company, and evaluated the differences.
– We evaluated the Company’s methodologies against recognized actuarial practices for the remaining contracts. We also evaluated the assumptions used by the Company using our industry knowledge and experience and other analytical procedures.
– We compared the results of the quarterly reserve studies prepared by independent external actuaries to management’s best estimate and evaluated the differences.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022
1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Basis of Presentation
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of GLRE and the consolidated financial statements of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and all significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.
The following amounts in the prior period consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the current consolidated financial statements:
F-8
Return to table of contents
• The Company has reported separately “Underwriting expenses” from “Corporate and other expenses” in the consolidated statements of operations, which were previously combined and reported as “General and administrative expenses”. This resulted in no change to the previously reported total expenses or net income.
• The Company has reclassified investment-related income from Lloyd’s syndicates which was previously presented in the consolidated statements of operations under the caption “Other income, net” to “Net investment income”. This resulted in no change to the previously reported total revenues or net income.
Additionally, the Company has revised its reporting segments to Open Market and Innovations (see Note 17). Prior year comparatives have been recast to conform with the new reportable segments.
In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations as at the end of December 31, 2024 and for the comparative periods presented.
Tabular dollar are in thousands, with the exception of per share amounts or otherwise noted. All amounts are reported in U.S. dollars.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company’s significant accounting policies are as follows:
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The Company’s significant estimates include:
• loss and loss adjustment expense reserves;
• premiums written and earned and related premium receivable, net of expected credit losses;
• reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses, net of expected credit losses; and
• valuation of investments, including impairments.
Investments
Investment in related party investment fund
The Company records its investment in the related party investment fund based on fair value using the net asset value practical expedient, with the Company’s share of the fund’s net income (loss) reported as “ Income (loss) from investment in related party investment fund ” in the consolidated statements of operations.
Other investments
The Company’s other investments include short-term investments and private investments and unlisted equity securities without readily determinable fair values.
Short-term investments are measured at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. These include certificate of deposit and other financial instruments with original maturities greater than three months but less than one year.
The Company measures its private investments and unlisted equity securities without readily determinable fair values at cost less impairment (if any), plus or minus observable price changes from identical or similar investments of the same issuers (the “measurement alternative”), with such changes recognized in “ Net investment income (loss) ” in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company considers the need for impairment on a by-investment basis based on certain indicators. Under the measurement alternative, the Company makes two types of valuation adjustments:
• When the Company observes an orderly transaction of an investee’s identical or similar equity securities, the Company adjusts the carrying value based on the observable price as of the transaction date. Once the Company records such an adjustment, the investment is considered an “asset measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.”
• If the Company determines that the investment is impaired and the fair value is less than its carrying value, it writes down the investment to its fair value. Once the Company records such an adjustment, the investment is considered an “asset measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.”
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturity dates of three months or less. Restricted cash and cash equivalents are presented separately in the consolidated balance sheets.
Premium Revenue Recognition
The Company writes excess of loss contracts and quota share contracts and estimates the ultimate premiums for the contract period. The Company bases these estimates on actuarial pricing models and information received from ceding companies. For excess of loss contracts, the Company writes the total ultimate estimated premiums at the contract’s inception. For quota share contracts, the Company writes premiums in the same periods in which the underlying insurance contracts are written, based on cession statements from cedents. The Company typically receives these statements monthly or quarterly, depending on the terms specified in each contract. For any reporting lag, the Company estimates premiums written based on the portion of the estimated ultimate premiums relating to the risks bound during the lag period.
F-10
Return to table of contents
For multi-year contracts, reinsurance premiums are recorded at the inception of the contract based on management’s best estimate of total premiums to be received. Premiums are recognized on an annual basis for multi-year contracts where the cedants have the ability to unilaterally commute or cancel coverage within the term of the contract.
Management regularly reviews premium estimates. Such review includes the Company’s experience with the ceding companies, managing general underwriters, familiarity with each market, the timing of the reported information, a comparison of reported premiums to expected ultimate premiums, along with a review of the aging and collection of premiums. Management evaluates the appropriateness of the premium estimates on the basis of these reviews and records any adjustments to these estimates in the period in which they are determined. Changes in premium estimates, including premium receivable on both excess of loss and quota share contracts, are not unusual and may result in significant adjustments in any period. A portion of amounts included in “ Reinsurance balances receivable ” in the consolidated balance sheets represent estimated premiums written, net of commissions and brokerage, that are not currently due based on the terms of the underlying contracts. Additional premiums due on a contract with no remaining coverage period are earned in full when written.
Certain contracts allow for reinstatement premiums in the event of a loss. Reinstatement premiums are written and earned when a triggering loss event occurs, based on management’s estimates of the ultimate reinstatement premiums. These estimates are subsequently adjusted when the actual reinstatement premiums are known.
Premiums written are recognized as earned over the contract period in proportion to the risk covered. Unearned premiums represent the unexpired portion of reinsurance provided.
Reinsurance Premiums Ceded
The Company reduces the risk of future losses on business assumed by reinsuring certain risks and exposures with other reinsurers (referred to as “retrocessionaires”). The Company remains liable to the extent that any retrocessionaire fails to meet its obligations and to the extent the Company does not hold sufficient security for its unpaid obligations.
Ceded premiums are written during the period in which the risks incept and the associated expense is recognized over the contract period in proportion to the protection provided. Unearned premiums ceded represent the unexpired portion of reinsurance obtained.
Acquisition Costs
Policy acquisition costs vary with, and are directly related to, the successful production of new and renewal business and consist principally of commissions, taxes, and brokerage expenses. The Company presents acquisition costs incurred on reinsurance assumed net of commissions earned on reinsurance ceded. However, if the sum of a contract’s expected losses and loss expenses and deferred acquisition costs exceeds associated unearned premiums and expected investment income, a premium deficiency is determined to exist. In this event, the Company writes off deferred acquisition costs to the extent necessary to eliminate the premium deficiency. If the premium deficiency exceeds deferred acquisition costs, the Company accrues a liability for the deficiency. The Company did not recognize any premium deficiency adjustments for the years presented in these consolidated financial statements.
Policy acquisition costs also include profit commissions, which the Company recognized on a basis consistent with its estimate of losses and loss expenses.
Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Reserves and Recoverable
The Company’s loss and loss adjustment expense (“LAE”) reserves are composed of:
● case reserves for loss and LAE resulting from claims notified to the Company by its clients; and
● reserves for estimated loss and LAE incurred by insureds and reinsureds but not yet reported (“IBNR”) to the Company, including unknown future developments on loss and LAE that are known to the Company.
The Company estimates these reserves based on reports from ceding companies, industry data, and historical experience analyzed using standard actuarial and statistical techniques.
The analysis includes assessing currently available data, predictions of future developments, estimates of future trends, and other factors. These estimates are reviewed by the Company’s reserving committee at least quarterly and adjusted as necessary.
F-11
Return to table of contents
The final settlement of losses may vary, perhaps materially, from the reserves recorded. The Company recognizes all adjustments to the estimates in the period they are determined. U.S. GAAP does not permit establishing loss reserves, which include case reserves and IBNR loss reserves, until the occurrence of an event that may give rise to a claim. As a result, only loss reserves applicable to losses incurred up to the reporting date are established. There is no allowance for the establishment of loss reserves to account for expected future loss events, including for catastrophe and weather-related events (herein referred as “CAT” events).
The “ Loss and loss adjustment expenses recoverable ” in the consolidated balance sheets represents the amounts due from retrocessionaires for unpaid loss and LAE on retrocession agreements. Ceded IBNR recoverable amounts are estimated based on the Company’s actuarial estimates. These estimates are reviewed periodically and adjusted when deemed necessary. The Company may be unable to recover the loss and LAE recoverable amounts due as a result of the retrocessionaires’ inability to pay. The Company regularly evaluates the financial condition of its retrocessionaires and calculates an allowance for expected credit losses (see “Reinsurance Assets ” below).
For losses stemming from exposure to natural perils, loss reserves are generally established based on loss payments and case reserves reported by clients when, and if, received. Estimates for IBNR losses are added to the case reserves as the Company deems appropriate. See Note 7 for a summary of the Company’s estimation process for CAT events.
For contracts without significant exposure to natural perils, initial reserves for each contract are determined based on a combination of (i) the pricing analysis performed prior to binding the contract; (ii) the underwriter’s detailed knowledge of the cedent, its operations and future business plans; and (iii) the professional judgment and recommendation of the Chief Actuary. In the pricing analysis, the Company utilizes information from the client and industry data. This information typically includes, but is not limited to, data related to premiums, losses, exposure, business mix, industry performance, and associated trends covering as much history as deemed appropriate. The level of detail within the data obtained varies greatly depending on the underlying contract, line of business, client, and coverage provided. In all cases, the Company requests each client to provide data for each reporting period, which, depending on the contract, could be on a monthly or quarterly basis. The terms and conditions of each contract specify the data reporting requirements.
Generally, the Company obtains regular updates of premium and loss-related information for the current and historical periods and utilizes them to update the initially expected loss ratio. There may be a lag between (i) claims being reported by the underlying insured to the Company’s cedent and (ii) claims being reported by the Company’s cedent to the Company. This lag may impact the Company’s loss reserve estimates. Client reports have pre-determined due dates (for example, fifteen days after each month-end). The timing of the reporting requirements is designed so that the Company receives premium and loss information as soon as practicable once the client has closed its books. Accordingly, there should be a short lag in such reporting. Additionally, most contracts that have the potential for large single-event losses have provisions that such loss notifications are provided to the Company immediately upon the occurrence of an event.
Once the updated information is received, the Company uses various standard actuarial methods for its quarterly analysis. Such methods typically include the following:
• Paid loss development method: Ultimate losses are estimated by calculating past paid loss development factors and applying them to exposure periods with further expected paid loss development. This method assumes that losses are paid in a consistent pattern. It provides an objective test of reported loss projections because paid losses contain no reserve estimates.
• Reported loss development method: Ultimate losses are estimated by calculating past reported loss development factors and applying them to exposure periods with further expected reported loss development. This method incorporates changes in payments and case reserves.
• Expected loss ratio method: Ultimate losses are estimated by multiplying earned premiums by an expected loss ratio. The expected loss ratio is often determined using industry data, historical company data, past pricing or reserving analysis performed, and actuarial judgment. This method is typically used for lines of business and contracts where there are no (or insignificant) historical losses or where past loss experience is not considered applicable to the current period.
• Bornhuetter-Ferguson paid loss method: Ultimate losses are estimated by modifying expected loss ratios to the extent losses paid to date differ from what would have been expected based upon the selected paid loss development pattern.

This method avoids some distortions that could result from a large development factor being applied to a small base of paid losses to calculate ultimate losses.
• Bornhuetter-Ferguson reported loss method: Ultimate losses are estimated by modifying expected loss ratios to the extent losses reported to date differ from what would have been expected based upon the selected reported loss development pattern. This method avoids some distortions that could result from a large development factor being applied to a small base of reported losses to calculate ultimate losses.
• Frequency / Severity method: Ultimate losses are estimated by multiplying the ultimate number of claims (i.e., the frequency multiplied by the exposure base) by the estimated average cost per claim (i.e., the severity). This approach enables trends and patterns in the rates of claims emergence (i.e., reporting) and settlement (i.e., closure) and the average cost of claims to be analyzed separately.
In addition, the Company may supplement its analysis with other reserving methodologies that it deems relevant to specific contracts.
For each contract, the Company utilizes reserving methodologies it considers appropriate to calculate a best estimate of reserves. Whether the Company uses a single methodology or a combination depends upon the portfolio segment being analyzed and the actuary’s judgment. The Company’s reserving methodology does not require a fixed weighting of the various methods used. Certain methods are considered more appropriate than others depending on the type, structure, age, maturity, and duration of the expected losses on the contract. For example, the Bornhuetter-Ferguson reported loss method might be more appropriate than a paid loss development method for relatively new contracts that have experienced little paid loss development.
The Company’s gross aggregate reserves are the sum of the best estimate reserves of all portfolio exposures. Generally, IBNR loss reserves are calculated by estimating the ultimate incurred losses and subtracting cumulative paid claims and case reserves. Each quarter, the Company’s Reserving Committee, led by the Chief Actuary, meets to assess the adequacy of our loss reserves based on the reserve analysis and recommendations prepared by the Company’s reserving department.
The Company does not typically experience material claims processing backlogs, although such backlogs may occur following a major catastrophic event. At December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company did not have a material backlog in its claims processing.
The Company did not make any significant changes to the actuarial methodology or assumptions relating to its loss and LAE reserves for the years presented in the consolidated financial statements.
Reinsurance Assets
The Company calculates an allowance for expected credit losses for its reinsurance balances receivable and loss and LAE recoverable by applying a Probability of Default (“PD”) / Loss Given Default (“LGD”) model. The PD / LGD approach considers the Company’s collectibility history on its reinsurance assets and representative external loss history. In calculating the probability of default, the Company also considers the estimated duration of its reinsurance assets.
The Company evaluates each counterparty’s creditworthiness based on credit ratings that independent agencies assign to the counterparty. The Company manages its credit risk in its reinsurance assets by transacting only with insurers and reinsurers that it considers financially sound. Credit ratings of the counterparties are forward-looking and consider various economic scenarios. The Company's evaluation of the required allowance for reinsurance balances receivable and loss and LAE recoverable considers the current economic environment as well as potential macroeconomic developments.
For its retrocessional counterparties that are unrated, the Company may hold collateral in the form of funds withheld, trust accounts, or irrevocable letters of credit. In evaluating credit risk associated with reinsurance balances receivable, the Company considers its right to offset loss obligations against premiums receivable. The Company regularly evaluates its net credit exposure to assess the ability of cedents and retrocessionaires to honor their respective obligations.
F-13

Deposit Assets and Liabilities
The Company applies deposit accounting to reinsurance contracts that do not transfer sufficient insurance risk to merit reinsurance accounting. Under deposit accounting, the Company recognizes an asset or liability based on its paid or received consideration. The deposit asset or liability balance is subsequently adjusted using the interest method with the corresponding income and expense recorded in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations under “ Other income ” and “ Deposit interest expense ,” respectively. The Company records deposit assets and liabilities in its consolidated balance sheets in “ Reinsurance balances receivable ” and “ Reinsurance balances payable ,” respectively. At December 31, 2024, deposit assets and liabilities were nil and $ 3.6 million, respectively (December 31, 2023: $ 0.9 million and $ 5.2 million, respectively).
Net investment income (loss)
The Company records interest income and interest expense on an accrual basis.
Any realized and unrealized gains or losses from other investments are determined on the basis of the specific identification method (by reference to cost or amortized cost, as appropriate). Additionally, net investment income (loss) includes realized and unrealized gains (losses) on derivative instruments.
In connection with the Company’s participation interest in Lloyd’s syndicates, the Lloyd’s syndicates invest a portion of the premiums withheld in investment funds and fixed-maturity securities. The Company records its share of income (or loss) from these assets as net investment income (loss) when reported by the syndicates, which is generally on a quarterly lag basis due to the timing of the availability of these quarterly financial reports.
Share-Based Compensation
The Company recognizes share-based compensation costs based on the fair value at the award’s grant date. The Company measures compensation for restricted shares and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) based on the price of the Company’s common shares at the grant date. For restricted shares and RSUs with service and performance vesting conditions, the expense is recognized based on management’s estimate of the probability of the performance conditions being achieved based on historical results and expectations of future results. If the Company expects to meet the performance conditions, it attributes the expense to the period the requisite service is rendered. For restricted shares and RSUs with only service vesting conditions, the Company recognizes the associated expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, net of any estimated or expected forfeitures.
The forfeiture rate is estimated based on the Company’s historical actual forfeitures relating to restricted shares and RSUs granted to employees. The forfeiture rate is reviewed annually and adjusted as necessary. The Company applies no forfeiture rate to restricted shares granted to directors, which vest over a maximum twelve-month period.
Determining the fair value of share purchase options at the grant date requires significant estimation and judgment. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to assist in the calculation of fair value for share purchase options. The model requires estimating various inputs such as the expected term, forfeiture and dividend rates, and volatility.
For share purchase options issued under the employee stock incentive plan, the compensation cost is calculated and recognized over the vesting periods on a graded vesting basis.
Foreign Exchange
The reporting and functional currency of the Company and all its significant subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. The Company records foreign currency transactions at the exchange rates in effect on the transaction date. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are converted at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are carried at their historical exchange rates.
Derivative instruments
The Company recognizes derivative financial instruments in the consolidated balance sheets at their fair values.
The Company’s derivatives do not qualify as hedges for financial reporting purposes. The Company records the associated assets and liabilities in its consolidated balance sheets on a gross basis. The Company does not offset these balances against collateral pledged or received.

Other Assets
The Company’s other assets consist primarily of prepaid expenses, right-of-use lease assets, leasehold improvements, derivative assets, taxes recoverable, and deferred tax assets.
Other Liabilities
The Company’s other liabilities consist primarily of accruals for legal and other professional fees, employee bonuses and severances, taxes payable, derivative liabilities, and lease liabilities.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Company has no comprehensive income or loss other than the net income or loss disclosed in the consolidated statements of operations.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The Company has issued unvested restricted stock awards, some of which contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid. These awards are considered “participating securities” for the purposes of calculating earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings per share is calculated on the basis of the weighted average number of ordinary shares and participating securities outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (or loss) per share includes the dilutive effect, if any, of the following:
• RSUs issued that convert to ordinary shares upon vesting;
• Unvested restricted share awards which are not considered “participating securities”;
• Additional potential ordinary shares issuable when in-the-money stock options are exercised, determined using the treasury stock method; and
• Effective January 1, 2022, the dilutive effect of the convertible notes calculated using the if-converted method. Under the if-converted method, the convertible notes are assumed to be converted at the beginning of the period. The resulting common shares are included in the denominator of the diluted net income per common share calculation. Interest expense related to the convertible notes incurred in the period is added back to the numerator for purposes of the if-converted calculation.
Diluted earnings (or loss) per share contemplates a conversion to ordinary shares of all convertible instruments only if they are dilutive. In the event of a net loss, all RSUs, stock options, shares potentially issuable in connection with convertible notes, and participating securities are excluded from the calculation of both basic and diluted loss per share as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
Taxation
The Company records current and deferred income taxes based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable in the relevant jurisdiction in the period in which the tax becomes accruable or realizable. Deferred income taxes are provided for all temporary differences between the bases of assets and liabilities reported in the consolidated balance sheets and those reported in the various jurisdictional tax returns.
The Company records a valuation allowance to the extent that the Company considers it more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized in the future. Other than this valuation allowance, the Company has not taken any income tax positions subject to significant uncertainty that is reasonably likely to have a material impact on the Company.

3. INVESTMENT IN RELATED PARTY INVESTMENT FUND
The Company has entered into the Second Amended and Restated Exempted Limited Partnership Agreement (the “Solasglas LPA”) of Solasglas Investments, LP (“Solasglas”), as amended from time to time, with DME Advisors II, LLC (“DME II”), as General Partner, Greenlight Re, and GRIL, (together, the “GLRE Limited Partners”). Effective January 1, 2023, the Company increased the maximum Investment Portfolio to 60 % of GLRE Surplus from 50 % , as defined in the Solasglas LPA, which was further increased to 70 % on August 1, 2024.
Solasglas has entered into a Solasglas investment advisory agreement (“IAA”) with DME Advisors. LP (“DME Advisors”), pursuant to which DME Advisors is the investment manager for Solasglas. DME II and DME Advisors are related to the Company, and each is an affiliate of David Einhorn, Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Chairman”).
The Company has concluded that Solasglas qualifies as a variable interest entity (“VIE”) under U.S. GAAP. In assessing its interest in Solasglas, the Company noted the following:
• DME II serves as Solasglas’ general partner and has the power to appoint the investment manager. The Company does not have the power to appoint, change or replace the investment manager or the general partner except “for cause.” Neither of the GLRE Limited Partners can participate in the investment decisions of Solasglas as long as Solasglas adheres to the investment guidelines provided within the Solasglas LPA. For these reasons, the GLRE Limited Partners are not considered to have substantive participating rights or kick-out rights.
• DME II holds an interest in excess of 10% of Solasglas’ net assets, which the Company considers to represent an obligation to absorb losses and a right to receive benefits of Solasglas that are significant to Solasglas.
Consequently, the Company has concluded that DME II’s interests, not the Company’s, meet both the “power” and “benefits” criteria associated with VIE accounting guidance. Therefore DME II is Solasglas’ primary beneficiary. The Company presents its investment in Solasglas in its consolidated balance sheets in the caption “Investment in related party investment fund.”
The Company’s maximum exposure to loss relating to Solasglas is limited to GLRE’s share of Partners’ capital in Solasglas. At December 31, 2024, GLRE’s share of Partners’ capital in Solasglas was $ 387.1 million (December 31, 2023: $ 258.9 million), representing 77.9 % (December 31, 2023: 72.7 %) of Solasglas’ total capital. DME II held the remaining 22.1 % (December 31, 2023: 27.3 %) of Solasglas’ total capital. The investment in Solasglas is recorded at the GLRE Limited Partners’ share of Solasglas’ capital as reported by Solasglas’ third-party administrator. The GLRE Limited Partners can redeem their investment from Solasglas for operational purposes by providing 3 business days’ notice to DME II. At December 31, 2024, the majority of Solasglas’ long investments were composed of cash and publicly-traded equity securities, which could be readily liquidated to meet the GLRE Limited Partners’ redemption requests.
The Company’s share of Solasglas’ income from operations for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, was $ 33.6 million, $ 28.7 million, and $ 54.8 million, respectively, and shown in the caption “Income from investment in related party investment fund” in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
At December 31, 2024, the Company’s investment in Solasglas represented 60.9 % (December 31, 2023: 43.4 %) of total shareholders’ equity.
The Company has determined that for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the Company’s investment in Solasglas met at least one of the conditions of a significant subsidiary under SEC’s Regulation S-X, Rule 3-09. Accordingly, the audited financial statements for Solasglas have been attached as an exhibit (Exhibit 99.1) to this Form 10-K.

6. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair Value Hierarchy
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received in an asset sale or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between unaffiliated market participants. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are categorized based on the extent to which the inputs are observable in the market. The categorization of financial instruments within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy is prioritized into three levels (with Level 3 being the lowest) defined as follows:
• Level 1 : Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access.
• Level 2 : Observable inputs other than prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated with observable market data.
• Level 3 : Unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity and significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities. The term “unobservable inputs” includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, and similar techniques.
There have been no material change in the Company’s valuation techniques, nor have there been any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, or Level 2 and Level 3 for the years presented in these consolidated financial statements.
Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis
At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company held $ 63.4 million and $ 61.3 million, respectively, of private investments and unlisted equities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. At December 31, 2024, the Company held $ 8.5 million (2023: $ 9.9 million) of private investments and unlisted equities measured at cost. The Company classifies these investments as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.
The following table summarizes the periods between the most recent fair value measurement dates and December 31, 2024, for the private and unlisted equities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis:
Less than 6 months 6 to 12 months Over 1 year Total
Fair values measured on a nonrecurring basis $ 14,083 $ 1,423 $ 47,858 $ 63,364
Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis
Derivative financial instruments
The Company uses interest rate swaps in connection with its risk management activities to hedge 50% of the interest rate risk relating to the outstanding Term Loans (see Note 9). The interest rate swaps are carried at fair value and are determined using a market approach valuation technique based on significant observable market inputs from third-party pricing vendors. Accordingly, the interest rates swaps are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. These derivative instruments are not designated as accounting hedges under U.S. GAAP.
For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized an unrealized loss for the above derivatives of $ 0.3 million and an unrealized gain of $ 0.6 million, respectively, which is included in “ Interest expense ” in the consolidated statements of operations. The unrealized loss / gain is reported as “ Net change in unrealized gains and losses on investments and derivatives ” in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The derivative liability is included in “ Other liabilities ” in the consolidated balance sheets.

Estimates for Catastrophe Events
At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company’s net reserves for losses and LAE include estimated amounts for several catastrophe and weather-related events (the “CAT losses”).
The determination of the net reserves for losses and LAE related to CAT events represent the Company’s best estimate of losses and LAE that have been incurred at December 31, 2024. The determination of these net reserves for losses and LAE is estimated by management after a catastrophe occurs by completing an in-depth analysis of individual contracts which could potentially have been impacted by the CAT event. This in-depth analysis may rely on several sources of information including:
• catastrophe bulletins published by various independent statistical reporting agencies;
• estimates of the size of insured industry losses from the CAT event and the Company’s corresponding market share;
• a review of the Company’s reinsurance contracts to identify those contracts which may be exposed to the CAT event;
• a review of modeled loss estimates based on information previously reported by customers and brokers, including exposure data obtained during the underwriting process;
• discussions of the impact of the event with customers and brokers; and
• a review of the coverage provided by the Company’s retrocession contracts (ceded reinsurance).
F-22

While the Company believes its estimate of net reserves for losses and LAE is adequate for CAT losses that have been incurred at December 31, 2024 based on current facts and circumstances, the Company monitors changes in paid and incurred losses in relation to each catastrophe in subsequent reporting periods and adjustments are made to estimates of ultimate losses for each event if there are developments that are different from previous expectations. The magnitude and volume of losses arising from CAT events is inherently uncertain. Adjustments are recorded in the period in which they are identified. Accordingly, actual losses for CAT events may ultimately differ materially from the Company’s current estimates.
CAT events in 2024
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company incurred net CAT losses of $ 57.5 million driven mainly by the Baltimore Bridge collapse, Hurricanes Helene and Milton, the severe convective storms in the U.S. (the “U.S. tornados”) and various marine, energy and aviation related events.
CAT events in 2023
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company incurred net CAT losses of $ 28.8 million driven mainly by the U.S. tornados and a Mexican state-owned oil platform fire loss.
CAT events in 2022
During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company incurred net CAT losses of $ 39.7 million driven mainly by the Russian-Ukraine conflict and Hurricane Ian.
Prior Year Reserve Development
The Company’s net favorable (adverse) prior year development arises from changes to estimates for losses and LAE related to loss events that occurred in previous calendar years. The following table presents net prior year reserve development by segment and consolidated:
Favorable (Adverse)
Open Market Innovations Total Segments Corporate Total Consolidated
Year ended December 31, 2024 $ ( 14,944 ) $ 296 $ ( 14,648 ) $ ( 6,156 ) $ ( 20,804 )
Year ended December 31, 2023 $ ( 3,586 ) $ ( 430 ) $ ( 4,016 ) $ ( 7,190 ) $ ( 11,206 )
Year ended December 31, 2022 $ 3,487 $ ( 2,669 ) $ 818 $ ( 936 ) $ ( 118 )
Open Market Segment :
• The net adverse reserve development in 2024 was composed of $ 18.4 million of reserve strengthening predominantly driven by the Russian-Ukrainian conflict over aviation losses due to additional uncertainties over judicial rulings interpreting applicable coverages and contracts in place and the future behavior of the Russian government and airlines. Additionally, the Company had reserve strengthening on the casualty line (various underwriting years) due to current economic and social inflation trends. This was partially offset by $ 3.4 million of favorable reserve development predominantly on financial and specialty lines (various underwriting years).
• The net adverse reserve development in 2023 was composed of $ 28.6 million of reserve strengthening predominantly on the casualty line (various underwriting years) due to current economic and social inflation trends, coupled with a final claim settlement on a professional liability contract (2008 underwriting year). This was partially offset mainly by $ 25.0 million of net favorable reserve development on the financial, property (CAT related), and specialty lines due to better than expected loss emergence (2020-2022 underwriting years).
• The net favorable reserve development in 2022 was composed of $ 16.0 million of favorable reserve development predominantly on the financial line (2017-2020 underwriting years) and property line (various pre-2021 years property CAT events) due to better than expected loss emergence. This was partially offset by $ 12.5 million of reserve strengthening predominantly on the casualty line (2014-2021 underwriting years) due to current economic and social inflation trends.

Innovations Segment :
• The net favorable reserve development in 2024 was composed of $ 1.8 million mainly on the health line (mostly 2020-2021 underwriting years) due to better than expected loss emergence, offset partially by $ 1.5 million reserve strengthening on financial, multiline, and specialty lines.
• The net adverse reserve development in 2023 was composed of $ 1.2 million of reserve strengthening predominantly on the multiline business (2021 underwriting year) due to current economic and social inflation trends. The adverse development was offset partially by $ 0.8 million favorable reserve development on specialty business (2021 underwriting year) due to better than expected loss emergence.
• The net adverse reserve development in 2022 was composed of $ 2.9 million of reserve strengthening predominantly on the health line (2020 underwriting year). The adverse development was offset partially by $ 0.2 million of favorable reserve development on the multiline business.
Corporate - Runoff Business:
Corporate represents the runoff business relating to the Company’s property business not renewed in 2024 as a result of significant CAT losses driven by the U.S. tornados (2021-2023 underwriting years) and Winter Storm Elliott (2022 underwriting year). The adverse prior year reserve development for the three years presented in the above table relate to these CAT events.
Net Incurred and Paid Claims Development Tables by Accident Year
The following tables present net incurred and paid claims development by accident year, total IBNR liabilities plus expected development on reported claims, and average annual percentage payout of incurred claims by age for each line of business. The loss development tables are presented on an accident year basis for each line of business within the Open Market and Innovations segments, as well as for the Corporate runoff property business (see Note 17). The Company does not discount reserves for losses and LAE.
For incurred and paid claims denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars, the tables are presented using the foreign exchange rate in effect at the current year-end date. As a result, all prior year information has been restated to reflect December 31, 2024, foreign exchange rates. This treatment prevents changes in foreign currency exchange rates from distorting the claims development between the years presented.
Additionally, for assumed contracts, the Company does not generally receive claims information by accident year from the ceding insurers but instead receives claims information by the treaty year of the contract. Claims reported by the ceding insurer to the Company may have the covered losses occurring in an accident year other than the treaty year. Some incurred and paid claims have been allocated to the accident years for the loss development tables based on the proportion of premiums earned for each contract during such accident year.
The totals in the tables below may not sum due to rounding.

8. RETROCESSION
From time to time, the Company purchases retrocessional coverage for one or more of the following reasons: to manage its overall exposure, reduce its net liability on individual risks, obtain additional underwriting capacity, and balance its underwriting portfolio. The Company records loss and LAE recoverable from retrocessionaires as assets.
The following table provides a breakdown of ceded reinsurance:
Year ended December 31,
2024 2023 2022
Gross ceded premiums $ 77,070 $ 42,762 $ 33,429
Earned ceded premiums $ 64,788 $ 43,653 $ 15,318
Loss and loss adjustment expenses ceded $ 72,095 $ 25,554 $ 6,615
Retrocession contracts do not relieve the Company from its obligations to its cedents. Failure of retrocessionaires to honor their obligations could result in losses to the Company.
The following table shows a breakdown of losses recoverable on a gross and net of collateral basis:

The Company was in compliance with all covenants relating to the Loan Facility at December 31, 2024.
Senior Convertible Notes
On August 7, 2018, the Company issued $ 100.0 million of senior unsecured convertible notes (the “Convertible Notes”), with a maturity date of August 1, 2023.

The conversion price was $ 17.19 per ordinary share of the Company.
During the year ended December 31, 2023 the Company repurchased and canceled $ 17.5 million of the Convertible Notes, respectively, resulting in realized gains of $ 0.3 million, which is included in “ Other income ” in the consolidated statements of operations.

15. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Investment Advisory Agreement
Each of DME, DME II, and DME Advisors is an affiliate of the Chairman and, therefore, is a related party to the Company.
The Company has entered into the Solasglas LPA (as described in Note 3 of the consolidated financial statements). DME II receives a performance allocation equal to (with capitalized terms having the meaning provided under the Solasglas LPA) (a) 10 % of the portion of the Positive Performance Change for each limited partner’s capital account that is less than or equal to the positive balance in such limited partner’s Carryforward Account, plus (b) 20 % of the portion of the Positive Performance Change for each limited partner’s capital account that exceeds the positive balance in such limited partner’s Carryforward Account. The Carryforward Account for Greenlight Re and GRIL includes the amount of investment losses to be recouped, including any loss generated on the assets invested in Solasglas, subject to adjustments for redemptions. The loss carry-forward provision in the Solasglas LPA allows DME II to earn a reduced performance allocation of 10 % of profits in years subsequent to any year in which Solasglas has incurred a loss until all losses are recouped, and an additional amount equal to 150 % of the loss is earned.
In accordance with the Solasglas LPA, DME Advisors constructs a levered investment portfolio as agreed by the Company (the “Investment Portfolio” as defined in the Solasglas LPA). On September 1, 2018, Solasglas entered into the IAA with DME Advisors, which entitles DME Advisors to a monthly management fee equal to 0.125 % ( 1.5 % on an annual basis) of each limited partner’s Investment Portfolio. The IAA has an initial term ending on August 31, 2023, subject to an automatic extension for successive three-year terms.
For a detailed breakdown of management fees and performance compensation for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, refer to Note 3.
Pursuant to the Solasglas LPA and the IAA, the Company has agreed to indemnify DME, DME II, and DME Advisors for any expense, loss, liability, or damage arising out of any claim asserted or threatened in connection with DME Advisors serving as the Company’s or Solasglas’ investment advisor. The Company will reimburse DME, DME II, and DME Advisors for reasonable costs and expenses of investigating and defending such claims provided such claims were not caused due to gross negligence, breach of contract, or misrepresentation by DME, DME II, or DME Advisors. The Company incurred no indemnification amounts during the periods presented.
Green Brick Partners, Inc.
David Einhorn also serves as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Green Brick Partners, Inc. (“GRBK”), a publicly-traded company.

Service Agreement
The Company has entered into a service agreement with DME Advisors, pursuant to which DME Advisors provides certain investor relations services to the Company for compensation of five thousand dollars per month (plus expenses). The agreement automatically renews annually until terminated by either the Company or DME Advisors for any reason with 30 days prior written notice to the other party.
Collateral Assets Investment Management Agreement
Effective January 1, 2019, the Company (and its subsidiaries) entered into a collateral assets investment management agreement (the “CMA”) with DME Advisors, pursuant to which DME Advisors manages certain assets of the Company that are not subject to the Solasglas LPA and are held by the Company to provide collateral required by the cedents in the form of trust accounts and letters of credit.

receivable and funds (premiums) held by cedents. Further, under the reinsurance contracts the Company has contractual rights to offset premium balances receivable and funds held by cedants against corresponding payments for losses and loss expenses.
Loss and loss adjustment expenses recoverable, net
The Company regularly evaluates its net credit exposure to the retrocessionaires and their abilities to honor their respective obligations. See Note 8 for analysis of concentration of credit risk relating to retrocessionaires.
b) Lease Obligations
The Company operates in the Cayman Islands, United Kingdom, and Ireland under various non-cancelable operating lease agreements. The Company’s weighted-average remaining operating lease term is approximately 1.5 years at December 31, 2024. As the lease contracts generally do not provide an implicit discount rate, the Company used the weighted-average discount rate of 6.0 % to determine the present value of lease payments. This discount rate represents the Company’s incremental borrowing rate for a term similar to that of the associated lease based on information available at the commencement date. The Company has made an accounting policy election not to include renewal, termination, or purchase options that are not reasonably certain of exercise when determining the borrowing term.
At December 31, 2024, the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities relating to the operating leases were $ 0.9 million and $ 1.0 million, respectively (2023: $ 1.4 million and $ 1.5 million, respectively). For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized operating lease expense $ 0.7 million (2023: $ 0.6 million, 2022: $ 0.6 million).
At December 31, 2024, the commitment for operating lease liabilities for future annual periods was as follows:
Year ending December 31,
2025 $ 686
2026 377
Total lease payments 1,063
Less present value discount
( 57 )
Present value of lease liabilities $ 1,006
c) Litigation
From time to time, in the ordinary course of business, the Company may be involved in formal and informal dispute resolution procedures, which may include arbitration or litigation. The outcomes of these procedures determine the rights and obligations under the Company’s reinsurance contracts and other contractual agreements. In some disputes, the Company may seek to enforce its rights under an agreement or collect funds owed. In other matters, the Company may resist attempts by others to collect funds or enforce alleged rights. While the Company cannot predict the outcome of legal disputes with certainty, the Company does not believe that any existing dispute, when finally resolved, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, or operating results.

F-48
Return to table of contents
The Company’s reportable segments each have executive leadership who are responsible for their performance and who are directly accountable to the CODM. The change in reportable segments was driven by the appointment of a new CEO, who is the CODM. The CODM reviews the financial performance of the reportable segment to assess the achievement of strategic initiatives, the efficiency of the deployed capital, and how to allocate resources to the reportable segments based on the segment’s financial performance.
In addition to its reportable segments, the Company has a Corporate category included in the below tables, which includes runoff business (see Note 7), corporate expenses, income from investment in Solasglas, foreign exchange gains (losses), interest expense and income taxes.
The table below provides information about the Company’s reportable segments, including the reconciliation to net income as reported under U.S. GAAP. Comparatives have been recast to conform with the new reportable segments.

Lloyd’s of London
The Company operates in the Lloyd’s market through its corporate member, GCM, which provides 100% of Syndicate 3456’s capital support. Syndicate 3456 is managed by a third party managing agency. GCM and Syndicate 3456 are bound by the rules of Lloyd’s, which are prescribed by Bye-laws and Requirements made by the Council of Lloyd’s under powers conferred by the Lloyd’s Act 1982. These rules prescribe members’ membership subscription, the level of their contributions to the Lloyd’s Central Fund and the assets they must deposit with Lloyd’s in support of their underwriting. Further, the Council of Lloyd’s has broad powers to sanctions breaches of its rules, including the power to restrict or prohibit a member’s participation on Lloyd’s syndicates.
The underwriting capacity of a member of Lloyd’s must be supported by providing a deposit, known as “Funds at Lloyds” or “FAL”, in the form of cash, certain investment securities, or letters of credit. The FAL is not available for distributions for the payment of dividends or for working capital requirements. Further, corporate members may also be required to maintain funds under the control of Lloyd’s in excess of their capital requirements and such funds also may not be available for distribution for the payment of dividends. The amount of FAL for Syndicate 3456 is determined by Lloyd’s and is based on Syndicate 3456’s solvency and capital requirement based on an internal capital model. See Note 16 for total FAL for Syndicate 3456 and other syndicates in which the Company has a participation interest.
19. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Due to the California wildfires commencing in January 2025, the Company has estimated losses ranging from $ 15 million to $ 30 million, net of reinstatement premiums, to be recognized in the first quarter of 2025. The Company’s assessment of the impact of the California wildfires is preliminary, and is based on, among other things, initial industry insured loss estimate of $ 40 billion to $ 50 billion, market share analysis, and a review of in-force contracts. This estimate is subject to significant management judgment due to the preliminary nature of the information available thus far from industry participants, the magnitude and recency of the California wildfires, and other factors.
