Investor Disclosures 2 Forward Looking Statements This presentation contains "forward-looking statements" which are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The forward-looking statements are based on Maiden Holdings, Ltd.’s (the “Company”) future developments and their potential effects on the Company. There can be no assurance that actual developments will be those anticipated by the Company. Actual results may differ materially from those projected as a result of significant risks and uncertainties, including non-receipt of the expected payments, changes in interest rates, effect of the performance of financial markets on investment income and fair values of investments, developments of claims and the effect on loss reserves, accuracy in projecting loss reserves, the impact of competition and pricing environments, changes in the demand for the Company's products, the effect of general economic conditions and unusual frequency of storm activity, adverse state and federal legislation, regulations and regulatory investigations into industry practices, developments relating to existing agreements, heightened competition, changes in pricing environments, and changes in asset valuations. Additional information about these risks and uncertainties, as well as others that may cause actual results to differ materially from those projected is contained in Item 1A, Risk Factors in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on March 12, 2024. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward- looking statements, except as may be required by law. Any discrepancies between the amounts included in this presentation and amounts included in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2024, filed with the SEC are due to rounding. Non-GAAP Financial Measures In addition to the Summary Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Income, management uses certain key financial measures, some of which are non-GAAP measures, to evaluate the Company's financial performance and the overall growth in value generated for the Company’s common shareholders. Management believes that these measures, which may be defined differently by other companies, explain the Company’s results to investors in a manner that allows for a more complete understanding of the underlying trends in the Company’s business. The non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as a substitute for those determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. See the Appendix of this presentation for a reconciliation of the Company’s non-GAAP measures to the nearest GAAP measure.
