DAMAGES AWARDED IN LAWSUIT AGAINST EXIS, ADAM SENDER AND ANDREW HELLER

Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited (“Fairfax”) (TSX:FFH and FFH.U) announces that a jury verdict in its lawsuit filed in 2006 seeking damages for alleged stock market manipulation involving Fairfax shares has awarded Fairfax and its Crum & Forster subsidiary damages of US$10.9 million against Exis Capital Management and related Exis companies, Adam Sender and Andrew Heller, including punitive damages of US$3.0 million against Exis, US$2.25 million against Mr. Sender and US$0.25 million against Mr. Heller. Fairfax intends to continue to pursue its remaining claims against other defendants in that lawsuit by way of appeals against previous court decisions.
