General

Arch Capital Group Ltd. (“Arch Capital” or “Arch”) is a publicly listed Bermuda exempted company which provides insurance, reinsurance and mortgage insurance on a worldwide basis through its wholly owned subsidiaries. As used herein, the “Company” means Arch Capital and its subsidiaries. Similarly, “Common Shares” means the common shares of Arch Capital.

The Company’s consolidated financial statements included the results of Somers Group Holdings Ltd. (formerly Watford Holdings Ltd.) and its wholly owned subsidiaries (“Somers”). Effective July 1, 2021, Somers is wholly owned by Greysbridge Holdings Ltd., (“Greysbridge”) and Greysbridge is owned 40% by the Company, 30% by certain investment funds managed by Kelso & Company (“Kelso”) and 30% by certain investment funds managed by Warburg Pincus LLC (“Warburg”). Based on the governing documents of Greysbridge, the Company concluded that, while it retains significant influence over Somers, Somers no longer constitutes a variable interest entity. Accordingly, effective July 1, 2021, Arch no longer consolidates the results of Somers in its consolidated financial statements and footnotes. See note 12, “Variable Interest Entity and Noncontrolling Interests”.

Such reclassifications had no effect on the Company’s net income, shareholders’equity or cash flows. Tabular amounts are in U.S. Dollars in thousands, except share amounts, unless otherwise noted.
