Regulation G

In addition to the GAAP financial measures set forth in this Financial Supplement, the Company has also included certain non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are important to investors, analysts, rating agencies and others who use the Company’s financial information and will help provide a consistent basis for comparison between quarters and for comparison with other companies within the industry. However, investors should consider these non-GAAP measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures in accordance with Regulation G is included within the relevant tables.

Operating Earnings available to Common Shareholders (Operating Earnings), Diluted Operating Earnings per Common Share and Annualized Operating Return on Beginning Common Shareholders’ Equity (Annualized Operating ROE): The Company uses Operating Earnings, Diluted Operating Earnings per Common Share and Annualized Operating ROE to measure performance, as these measures focus on the underlying fundamentals of the Company’s operations. Operating Earnings exclude the impact of net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments, net of tax, net realized gain on purchase of capital efficient notes, net of tax, and the interest in earnings (losses) of equity investments, net of tax, where the Company does not control the investee companies’ activities, and are calculated after preferred dividends. The Company calculates Diluted Operating Earnings per Common Share using Operating Earnings for the period divided by the weighted average number of common and common share equivalents outstanding. The Company calculates Annualized Operating ROE using annualized Operating Earnings for the period divided by the common shareholders’ equity as of the beginning of the year. Operating Earnings and Diluted Operating Earnings per Common Share should not be viewed as a substitute for Net Income or Diluted Net Income per Common Share prepared in accordance with GAAP. Annualized Operating ROE supplements GAAP information.

Book Value excluding Net Unrealized Gains and Losses on Fixed Income Securities, Net of Tax (Book Value excluding NURGL) and Diluted Book Value per Common and Common Share Equivalents Outstanding excluding Net Unrealized Gains and Losses on Fixed Income Securities, Net of Tax (Diluted Book Value excluding NURGL): The Company calculates Book Value excluding NURGL using common shareholders’ equity less net unrealized gains and losses on fixed income securities, net of tax. Book Value excluding NURGL focuses on the underlying fundamentals of the Company’s financial position without the impact of interest rates and credit spreads on the unrealized gains and losses on fixed income securities (net of tax). The Company calculates Diluted Book Value excluding NURGL using Book Value excluding NURGL divided by the weighted average number of common and common share equivalents outstanding.

Total Capital: The Company calculates total capital as the sum of total shareholders’ equity, long-term debt, senior notes and capital efficient notes. The Company uses Total Capital as a measure to manage the capital structure of the Company.

(1) The Company adopted SFAS 159 effective January 1, 2008. For all periods prior to the adoption of SFAS 159, unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, on available for sale securities were recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Following the adoption of SFAS 159, the Company’s available for sale securities have been reclassified as trading securities and all changes in pre-tax unrealized investment gains and losses are recorded in net realized and unrealized investment gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Net investment income and net realized and unrealized investment gains and losses on securities previously classified as trading have been recorded within the related investments classification (fixed maturities or equities) beginning in 2008, and the change in net unrealized investment gains and losses on such securities are included in change in net unrealized investment gains and losses on securities subject to the fair value option under SFAS 159.
(2) Net realized investment losses on fixed maturities and short-term investments includes a $ 95,117 write-down of defaulted securities for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and the year ended December 31, 2008.
