ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS.
     On June 22, 2007, IPC Holdings, Ltd. announced that, during the second quarter of 2007, the Company repurchased $100 million of its common shares. The full text of the press release issued in connection with the announcement is being filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
     The $100 million common shares repurchased constitutes half of the amount authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors on April 24, 2007. These repurchases, which were conducted in the open market, amounted to 3,188,669 common shares, at an average price of $31.331.
     Under the Company’s current authorization for the twelve month period ending May 1, 2008, it is permitted to purchase up to $100 million more of its common shares, which may be conducted by means of open market repurchases, privately negotiated transactions (including accelerated share repurchase plans or use of a forward contract to repurchase shares) or otherwise, at prices that are prevailing market prices and in accordance with applicable securities laws, provided that no shares shall be repurchased for a price in excess of $38.50 per share. The Company may suspend or discontinue the program at any time. The timing of purchases will depend upon market conditions, the market price of the Company’s common shares and management’s assessment of the Company’s liquidity and cash flow needs.
