(1)This row consists exclusively of Pillar Two top-up taxes charged under the Income Inclusion Rule in the U.K. under Finance (No.2) Act 2023. Finance (No. 2) Bill 2025 was published in the U.K. on December 4, 2025 and aligns U.K. legislation with OECD guidance on the treatment of the deferred tax benefit arising on the de-recognition of a portion of the Bermuda ETA. If the Bill is enacted in 2026, our liability for top-up taxes in 2025 will be reversed at the date of enactment.
(2)Changes in tax laws or rates is the recognition and subsequent remeasurement upon the enactment of amendments arising on the Bermuda ETA, discussed above.
