The close of business on April 1, 2013 has been fixed as the record date for determining the shareholders of record (“Shareholders”) of our common shares, $0.01 par value per share (“Common Shares”) entitled to notice of and to vote at the 2013 Annual Meeting (including any postponement or adjournment(s) thereof). As of March 20, 2013, there were 56,258,218 Common Shares issued and outstanding. Common Shares are our only class of equity securities issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the 2013 Annual Meeting. Each Shareholder is entitled to one vote on each matter to be voted upon by the Shareholders at the 2013 Annual Meeting for each Common Share held by such Shareholder.

At the 2013 Annual Meeting, two or more persons present in person at the start of the 2013 Annual Meeting and representing in person or by proxy in excess of 50% of the total issued voting shares in the Company shall form a quorum for the transaction of business at the 2013 Annual Meeting.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAS DESIGNATED THE PERSON(S) NAMED IN THE ACCOMPANYING FORM OF PROXY CARD AS A PROXY.

Each Common Share represented by a properly executed proxy that is returned and not revoked will be voted in accordance with the instructions, if any, given thereon and in accordance with the proxyholder’s best judgment as to any other business as may properly come before the 2013 Annual Meeting. If no instructions are provided in a properly executed proxy, it will be voted FOR the approval of the election of each of the nominees identified in this Proxy Statement as a Class I director of the Company (Proposal One), and FOR the approval of each of Proposals Two and Three.

We will bear the cost of solicitation of proxies. We have not engaged a proxy solicitation agent.

We may also make, through bankers, brokers or other persons, a solicitation of proxies of beneficial holders of Common Shares.

Board Practices

Our corporate governance practices are in compliance with, and are not prohibited by, the laws of Bermuda. Therefore, we are exempt from many of the New York Stock Exchange’s (“NYSE”) corporate governance practices, other than the establishment of a formal Audit Committee satisfying the requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and notification of non-compliance with NYSE listing requirements. The practices that we follow in lieu of the NYSE’s corporate governance rules are described below.

• We do not, and are not required under Bermuda law to, maintain a Board of Directors with a majority of independent directors. Currently, a majority of our directors are not independent, as that term is defined by the NYSE.

• We are not required by Bermuda law to hold regular meetings of the Board of Directors at which only independent directors are present.

• Under Bermuda law, compensation of executive officers does not need to be determined by an independent committee. We have established a compensation committee that reviews and approves the compensation and benefits for our executive officers and other key executives, makes recommendations to the board regarding compensation matters and is responsible for awarding compensation to our executive officers and other employees under our share compensation plans. The committee also has the discretion to interpret and amend the terms of, and take all other actions necessary to administer, the 2007 Share Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”). However, our compensation committee is not comprised solely of independent directors, as required by NYSE standards. The members of our compensation committee are Messrs. Cottingham, Hoelter, Maccarone, Neil Jowell, Nurek and Shwiel. Messrs. Neil Jowell, Hoelter and Nurek are directors of Trencor. Messrs. Cottingham and Shwiel satisfy the NYSE’s standards for director independence.

• We have established an audit committee responsible (i) for advising the board regarding the selection of independent auditors, (ii) overseeing the Company’s accounting and financial reporting process, (iii) evaluating our internal controls, and (iv) overseeing compliance with policies and legal requirements with respect to financial reporting. Our audit committee need not comply with NYSE requirements that the audit committee have a minimum of three members or the NYSE’s standards of director independence for domestic issuers. Our audit committee has five members, Messrs. Shwiel, Cottingham, Neil Jowell, McQueen and Hoelter. Messrs. Shwiel and Cottingham are voting members of the committee and are independent as that term is defined in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. The other three members are representatives of Trencor and have no voting rights.

• We have established a nominating and governance committee, although this committee is not comprised solely of independent directors, as would be required of a domestic issuer. Our nominating and governance committee has five members, Messrs. Cottingham, Hoelter, Maccarone, Neil Jowell, Nurek and Shwiel. Messrs. Cottingham and Shwiel satisfy the NYSE’s standards for director independence. Our board of directors has adopted a nominating and governance committee charter.

• Under Bermuda law, we are not required to obtain shareholder consent prior to issuing securities or adopting share compensation plans. Nonetheless, we sought and received the approval of our shareholders for our 2007 Plan on September 4, 2007. Under Bermuda law, consent of the Bermuda Monetary Authority is required for the issuance of securities in certain circumstances.

11

• Under Bermuda law, we are not required to adopt corporate governance guidelines or a code of business conduct. Nonetheless, we have adopted both corporate governance guidelines and a code of business conduct.

Director and Senior Management Compensation

The aggregate direct compensation we paid to our executive officers as a group (five persons, including a bonus paid to John A. Maccarone, our former President and Chief Executive Officer who retired in October 2011) for the year ended December 31, 2012 was approximately $3.1 million, which included approximately $1.4 million in bonuses and approximately $90,000 in funds set aside or accrued to provide for health and life insurance, retirement, or similar benefits. On January 20, 2012, Hilliard C. Terry III, our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, was also granted 10,000 share options, with an exercise price of $31.34 and an expiration date of January 20, 2022, and 10,000 restricted share units and on November 14, 2012, our executive officers as a group were granted 76,000 share options, with an exercise price of $28.05 and an expiration date of November 14, 2022, and 76,000 restricted share units through our 2007 Share Incentive Plan. This amount does not include expenses we incurred for other payments, including dues for professional and business associations, business travel and other expenses. We did not pay our officers who also serve as directors any separate compensation for their directorship during 2012, other than reimbursements for travel expenses.

All of our full-time employees, including employees of our direct and indirect subsidiaries and dedicated agents and our executive officers, were eligible to participate in our 2012 Short Term Incentive Plan. Under that plan, all eligible employees received an incentive award based on their respective job classification and our return on assets and earnings per share. In 2012, each of our executive officers received 200% of his target incentive award.

The aggregate direct compensation we paid to our directors who are not officers for their services as directors as a group for the year ended December 31, 2012 was approximately $588,000. In addition, on May 17, 2012, our directors as a group (excluding Philip K. Brewer) were granted 10,413 restricted share units. Some directors were also reimbursed for expenses incurred in order to attend board or committee meetings.
