Dividend Restrictions and Statutory Requirements </font></p><p style='margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt'><font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;margin-left:24.5px;">The Company's ability to pay common and preferred shareholders' dividends and its corporate expenses is dependent mainly on cash dividends from Partner Reinsurance, PartnerRe Europe and PartnerRe U.S. (collectively, the reinsurance subsidiaries)</font><font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">, which are the Company's most significant subsidiaries</font><font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">. The payment of such dividends by the reinsurance subsidiaries to the Company is limited under Bermuda</font><font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;"> and</font><font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;"> Irish</font><font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;"> </font><font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">laws and certain </font><font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">statutes of various U.S. states in which PartnerRe U.S. is licensed to transact business. The restrictions are generally based on net income and/or certain levels of policyholders' earned surplus as determined in accordance with the relevant statutory accounting practices. As of December 31, 2010, there were no significant restrictions on the payment of dividends by the Company's </font><font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">reinsurance </font><font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">subsidiaries that would limit the Company's ability to pay common and preferred shareholders' dividends and its corporate expenses. </font></p><p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'><font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:7.5pt;margin-left:0px;"> </font></p><p style='margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt'><font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;margin-left:24.5px;">The reinsurance subsidiaries are required to file annual statements with insurance regulatory authorities prepared on an accounting basis prescribed or permitted by such authorities (statutory basis), maintain minimum levels of solvency and liquidity and comply with risk-based capital requirements and licensing rules. As of December 31, 2010, the reinsurance subsidiaries' solvency, liquidity and risk-based capital amounts were in excess of the minimum levels required. The typical adjustments to insurance statutory basis amounts to convert to U.S. GAAP include elimination of certain statutory reserves</font><font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">, deferral of certain acquisition costs, recognition of goodwill, intangible assets and deferred income taxes, valuation of bonds at fair value and presentation of ceded reinsurance balances gross of assumed balances. </font></p><p style='margin-top:6pt;
