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 ; the downgrade in the financial strength rating of our regulated insurance subsidiaries announced May 7 , 2021 , or further downgrades, impacting our ability to attract and retain insurance and reinsurance business that our subsidiaries write, our competitive position, and our financial condition ; 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 negative impact that a persistent high inflationary environment could have on our reserves, the values of our investments and investment returns, and on 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 reinsurance coverage at prices and on terms that allow us to transfer risk and adequately protect our company against financial loss ; 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 their reimbursement obligations ; 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 ; the ongoing effect of Public Law No . 115 - 97 , informally titled the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which may 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 any of its foreign subsidiaries 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 ; the effects of the COVID - 19 pandemic and associated government actions on our operations and financial performance ; 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 Sarbanes - Oxley Act of 2002 , as amended (“Sarbanes - Oxley”) ; and changes in our financial condition, regulations or other factors that may restrict our subsidiaries’ ability to pay us dividends . 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 our other documents on file with the SEC . These forward - looking statements speak only as of the date of this investor 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 .

These non - GAAP measures, such as underwriting profit, adjusted net operating (loss) income, tangible equity, tangible common equity, tangible equity per share, and tangible common equity per common share are not in accordance with, nor are they a substitute for, GAAP measures . We believe these non - GAAP measures provide users of our financial information useful insight into our performance . Investors should consider non - GAAP measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the comparable GAAP measures . Please refer to pages 22 & 23 of this presentation for a reconciliation of the non - GAAP financial measures to the equivalent GAAP equivalents .

7 What is Driving Growth in the E&S Market? The E&S market began experiencing rate hardening in late 2018 / early 2019 and the hardening significantly accelerated in 2020 driven by the Global Pandemic. Admitted market carriers have been tightening underwriting guidelines or non - renewing business, pushing it to the E&S market Increasing jury verdicts and social inflation Reopening economy in the wake of a recession Increased risk of cyber threats as the world becomes more digitized Emergence of novel health risks Increasing catastrophe losses and risk of climate change + We believe we have little exposure to social inflation in our Core E&S book given its small account nature, risk profile and limit deployment New business formation and small business revamp are our key clients; significant growth in contract binding business We have negligible cyber exposure as an underwriter The overwhelming majority of our Core E&S book has an organic pathogen exclusion We write little cat exposed property, and for the risks we do insure we have robust reinsurance protection up to the 1:1,000 year level (1) (1) We have structured our reinsurance agreements so that our modeled net pre - tax loss from a 1:1,000 year probable maximum loss ("P ML") event would not exceed 2.5% of shareholders’ equity on a group - wide basis. Please refer to our most recent Form 10 - K and 10 - Q filings for a detailed description of our reinsurance progr am.

Investment Portfolio 14 Commentary • Balanced portfolio focused on high quality fixed maturities, with small allocation to unique strategies to enhance returns. • Weighted average rating of A+ across the portfolio, similar to recent periods. • Total invested assets declined by 7% from the prior year quarter, primarily due to the transfer of funds in connection with the LPT reinsurance agreement executed during 3Q21 and a reduction in market values during 1H22. • Annualized gross investment yield increased primarily as a result of higher yields on fixed maturity securities and bank loan participations. • Investment income increased from 2Q 2021 levels due to: i. Higher yields on high grade fixed maturities as stronger reinvestment rates are beginning to increase the book yield of the portfolio. ii. Income from renewable energy and other private investments declined from the prior year quarter.

17 Consolidated Performance Commentary • 5% increase in gross written premium, with continued growth in E&S partially offset by an expected reduction in Casualty Re premium. • Net written and net earned premium growth was 1% and 8%, respectively, reflecting growth in gross premium over the trailing twelve months and changes in retention. • Net investment income increased 2% due largely to stronger income from fixed maturities and equities, while income from renewable energy and other private investments declined from the prior year period primarily due to market volatility. • The accident year loss ratio was 66.0% and increased 0.3 points from the prior year quarter due to a higher current accident year loss ratio in Specialty Admitted and Casualty Reinsurance. • Favorable prior year development of $1.6 MM or 0.8 points was primarily due to workers’ compensation exposures within the Specialty Admitted segment. • The expense ratio of 25.8% was down slightly compared to the 26.0% reported in the prior year quarter due to 8% growth in net earned premium and fee income, while underwriting expenses increased at a slightly lower rate. $ in millions, except per share figures % 2Q21 2Q22 Change Key Income Statement Items Gross Written Premium $380.1 $399.7 5% Net Written Premium 193.6 194.7 1% Net Earned Premium 172.7 186.3 8% Net Investment Income 14.3 14.7 2% Total Revenues 191.6 184.8 (4)% Total Expenses 159.1 174.5 10% Net Income Available to Common Shareholders 20.8 5.0 (76)% Net Realized and Unrealized (Gains) Losses on Investments (2.7) 15.0 NM Other Expenses 0.7 0.0 NM Adjusted Net Operating Income 18.8 20.0 6% Underwriting Ratios Accident Year Loss Ratio 65.7% 66.0% 0.3% Prior Year Development (2.0)% (0.8)% 1.2% Loss Ratio 63.7% 65.2% 1.5% Expense Ratio (1) 26.0% 25.8% (0.2)% Combined Ratio 89.7% 91.0% 1.3% Accident Year Combined Ratio 91.7% 91.8% 0.1% Key Balance Sheet Items Shareholders’ Equity per Share (2) $23.03 $15.87 (28)% Tangible Equity per Share (2) $17.18 $12.10 (25)% Tangible Common Equity per Share (2) $17.18 $10.06 (37)% (1) Calculated with a numerator comprising other operating expenses less gross fee income (in specific instances when the Company is not retaining insurance risk) included in “Other income” in our Condensed Consolidated Income Statements of $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 ($1.0 million in the prior yea r period), and a denominator of net earned premiums.
