MAIDEN HOLDINGS, LTD.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
(in thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and per share data)

1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Maiden Holdings, Ltd. ("Parent Company" or "Maiden Holdings") and its subsidiaries (the "Company" or "Maiden"). They have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X as promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.
These interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative, if annualized, of those to be expected for the full year. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, including these notes, should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Certain prior year comparatives have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The effect of these reclassifications had no impact on previously reported shareholders' equity or net income.
Maiden creates shareholder value by actively managing and allocating our assets and capital, including through ownership and management of businesses and assets primarily in the insurance and related financial services industries where we can leverage our deep knowledge of those markets.
In November 2020, the Company formed our indirect wholly owned subsidiary Genesis Legacy Solutions ("GLS") which specialized in providing a full range of legacy services to small insurance entities, particularly those in run-off or with blocks of reserves that are no longer core to those companies' operations, working with clients to develop and implement finality solutions including acquiring entire companies. The Company believed the formation of GLS was highly complementary to its overall longer-term strategy. However, a combination of factors, including market conditions in the sector GLS focuses on, resulted in an inability for GLS to gain sufficient scale to achieve its objectives or earn a profit, and GLS results did not reach the objectives the Company expected it to over time. Having completed the capital commitment made to GLS in 2020, the Company has determined to not commit any additional capital to new opportunities and to run-off the existing accounts underwritten by GLS. The Company does not presently underwrite prospective reinsurance risks.
Short-term income protection business is written on a primary basis by our wholly owned subsidiaries Maiden Life Försäkrings AB ("Maiden LF") and Maiden General Försäkrings AB ("Maiden GF") in the Scandinavian and Northern European markets. Our wholly owned subsidiary, Maiden Global Holdings Ltd. (“Maiden Global”) is a licensed intermediary in the United Kingdom. Maiden Global had previously operated internationally by providing branded auto and credit life insurance products through insurer partners, particularly those in Europe and other global markets ("IIS business"). These products also produced reinsurance programs which were underwritten by our wholly owned subsidiary Maiden Reinsurance Ltd. (“Maiden Reinsurance”). Since 2023, the Company has been evaluating the strategic value of Maiden LF and Maiden GF in relation to their ongoing growth and profitability prospects, regulatory capital requirements and ability to create shareholder value in excess of our target return on capital levels.
On May 3, 2024, Maiden LF and Maiden GF entered into a Renewal Rights and Asset Purchase Agreement with AmTrust Nordic AB, a Swedish unit of AmTrust Financial Services, Inc. ("AmTrust") which is expected to cover the majority of Maiden LF and Maiden GF's primary business written in Sweden, Norway and other Nordic countries. On June 20, 2024, Maiden LF and Maiden GF entered into a Renewal Rights and Asset Purchase Agreement with AmTrust Europe Limited ("AEL") and AmTrust International Underwriters DAC ("AIU DAC"), both wholly owned subsidiaries of AmTrust, which is expected to cover the majority of Maiden LF and Maiden GF's primary business written in the United Kingdom and Ireland. These agreements are collectively referred to as the "AmTrust Renewal Rights Agreements". Under these agreements, those AmTrust subsidiaries in collaboration with existing Maiden LF and Maiden GF distribution partners, will offer renewals to select policyholders in exchange for a fee at standard market terms for business successfully renewed.
These transactions are part of the Company's broader plan to divest its IIS businesses as a result of its recently concluded strategic review of the IIS business platform. The purpose of that review was to evaluate the strategic value of Maiden LF and Maiden GF in relation to their ongoing growth and profitability prospects, regulatory capital requirements and ability to create shareholder value in excess of the Company's target return on capital levels. As part of these conclusions, the Company expects to enter into additional transactions to either sell or wind-up Maiden GF and Maiden LF during 2024 and is actively evaluating potential transactions. Please see "Note 10. Related Party Transactions" for details regarding the Renewal Rights Agreement.
The Company also has various historic reinsurance programs underwritten by Maiden Reinsurance which are in run-off, including the liabilities associated with AmTrust reinsurance agreements which were terminated in 2019 as discussed in "Note 10. Related Party Transactions". In addition, the Company has a retroactive reinsurance agreement and a commutation agreement that further reduces its exposure and limits the potential volatility related to AmTrust liabilities, which are discussed in "Note 8. Reinsurance". Please also see the Company's audited Consolidated Financial Statements, and related notes thereto, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 for further details.

2. Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes to the significant accounting policies as described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, except for the following:
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions
In June 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2022-03 "Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions" an amendment of Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820). The amendments in this ASU require the Company to provide disclosures for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions under 820-10-50-6B including the fair value of equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions reflected in the balance sheet; the nature and remaining duration of the restrictions; and any circumstances that could cause a lapse in the restrictions. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this Update on January 1, 2024.
Certain of the Company's equity securities are subject to restrictions on redemptions and sales that are determined by the governing documents, which could limit our ability to liquidate those investments. These restrictions may include lock-ups, redemption gates, restricted share classes, restrictions on the frequency of redemption and notice periods as described in "Note 4. (b) Investments". The Company has assessed the required disclosures for equity securities that may be subject to contractual sales restrictions. These amendments have expanded the disclosures made in "Note 4. Investments" however the adoption of this standard did not impact the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets, results of operations or statement of cash flows.

(in thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and per share data)
3. Segment Information
The Company currently has two reportable segments: Diversified Reinsurance and AmTrust Reinsurance. Our Diversified Reinsurance segment consists of a portfolio of predominantly property and casualty reinsurance business focusing on regional and specialty property and casualty insurance companies located primarily in Europe. This segment also includes transactions entered into by GLS as described in "Note 1. Basis of Presentation. Our AmTrust Reinsurance segment includes all business ceded to Maiden Reinsurance by AmTrust, primarily the quota share reinsurance agreement (“AmTrust Quota Share”) between Maiden Reinsurance and AmTrust’s wholly owned subsidiary, AmTrust International Insurance, Ltd. (“AII”) and the European hospital liability quota share reinsurance contract ("European Hospital Liability Quota Share") with AmTrust’s wholly owned subsidiaries, AEL and AIU DAC, which are both in run-off effective January 1, 2019. Please refer to "Note 10. Related Party Transactions" for additional information regarding the AmTrust Reinsurance segment.
The Company evaluates segment performance based on segment profit separately from the results of our investment portfolio. General and administrative expenses are allocated to the segments on an actual basis except salaries and benefits where management’s judgment is applied; however, general corporate expenses are not allocated to the segments. In determining total assets by reportable segment, the Company identifies those assets that are attributable to a particular segment such as reinsurance balances receivable, reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses, deferred commission and other acquisition expenses, funds withheld receivable, loan to related party and restricted cash and investments. All remaining assets are allocated to Corporate.

The Company separately presents the accrued interest receivable balance on its AFS fixed maturity investments on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets under accrued investment income. The amount of accrued interest receivable on AFS securities was $1,535 at June 30, 2024 (December 31, 2023: $1,418). The Company has elected the practical expedient to exclude accrued interest from both the fair value and the amortized cost basis of the AFS fixed maturity securities for the purposes of identifying and measuring any impairments under the allowance for expected credit losses standard adopted on January 1, 2023. Write-offs of accrued interest receivable balances are recognized in net investment gains and losses in the period in which they are deemed uncollectible. There was no write-off recognized on the accrued interest receivable during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
The contractual maturities of our fixed maturities are shown below. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

Allowance for Expected Credit Losses & Non-Credit Related Impairment Costs
The Company evaluates AFS securities for impairment when fair value is below amortized cost on a quarterly basis. If the Company intends to sell or will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery, the full amount of the impairment loss is charged to net income (loss) and included in net investment gains (losses). If the Company does not intend to sell or will not be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery, an allowance for expected credit losses is established and the portion of the loss relating to credit factors is recorded in net income (loss). The non-credit impairment amount of the loss (which could be related to interest rates and/or market conditions) is recognized in other comprehensive income.
To estimate the allowance for expected credit losses for most of the AFS securities, the Company analyzes projected cash flows which are primarily driven by assumptions regarding loss severity, probability of default and projected recovery rates. The Company's determination of default and loss severity rates are based on credit rating, credit analysis and macroeconomic forecasts. Unrealized losses on securities issued or backed, either explicitly or implicitly by the U.S. government are not analyzed for credit losses. The Company has concluded that any possibility of a credit loss on these securities is highly unlikely due to the explicit U.S. government guarantee related to certain securities (e.g., Government National Mortgage Association issuances) and the implicit guarantee related to other securities that has been validated by past actions (e.g., U.S. government bailout of Federal National Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation during the 2008 credit crisis). Although these securities are not analyzed for credit losses, they are evaluated for impairment based on the Company's intention to sell and likely requirement to sell.
Based on the Company's analysis at June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, the unrealized losses on the Company’s AFS fixed maturity securities were due to non-credit factors and were expected to be recovered as the related securities approach maturity. At June 30, 2024, the Company did not intend to sell the securities in an unrealized loss position and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these securities before the anticipated recovery of their amortized costs. Therefore, there was no allowance recorded for expected credit losses on AFS securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

b)Other Investments, Equity Securities and Equity Method Investments
Certain of the Company's other investments and equity method investments are subject to restrictions on redemptions and sales that are determined by the governing documents, which could limit our ability to liquidate those investments. These restrictions may include lock-ups, redemption gates, restricted share classes, restrictions on the frequency of redemption and notice periods. A gate is the ability to deny or delay a redemption request. Certain other investments and equity method investments may not have any restrictions governing their sale, but there is no active market and no guarantee that we will be able to execute a sale in a timely manner. In addition, even if certain other investments and equity method investments are not eligible for redemption or sales are restricted, the Company may still receive income distributions from those investments.

Equity Securities
Equity securities include publicly traded equity investments in common stocks and privately held equity investments in common and preferred stocks. The Company's publicly traded equity investments in common stocks trade on major exchanges. The Company's privately held equity investments in common and preferred stocks are direct investments in companies that the Company believes offer attractive risk adjusted returns or offer other strategic advantages. Each investment may have its own unique terms and conditions and there may be restrictions on disposals. There is no active market for these investments.
The following table provides the cost and fair values of the equity securities held at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

With the exception of the publicly traded equity investments in common stocks presented in the table above, all of the privately held securities held at June 30, 2024 are subject to contractual sale restrictions. Each of these investments are subject to agreements that restrict the transfer, sale, and indemnification of these privately held investments indefinitely. The Company must hold these shares indefinitely unless the investee's shares are registered with the SEC and qualified by state authorities, or until an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements may become available.

The equity method investments above include limited partnerships which are variable interests issued by variable interest entities ("VIEs"). The Company does not have the power to direct the activities that are most significant to the economic performance of these VIEs, therefore, the Company is not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs. The Company is deemed to have limited influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee and accordingly, these investments are reported under the equity method of accounting. In applying the equity method of accounting, the investments are initially recorded at cost and are subsequently adjusted based on the Company’s proportionate share of the investee's net income or loss. Generally, the maximum exposure to loss on these interests is limited to the amount of commitment made by the Company as more fully described in "Note 11 - Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees" in these condensed consolidated financial statements.

5. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
(a) Fair Values of Financial Instruments
Fair Value Measurements — Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" ("ASC 820") defines fair value as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between open market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, ASC 820 establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs:
•Level 1 — Valuations based on unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access. Because valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these products does not entail a significant degree of judgment. Examples of assets and liabilities utilizing Level 1 inputs include: U.S. Treasury bonds; and publicly traded equity securities;
•Level 2 — Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or valuations based on models where the significant inputs are observable (e.g. interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, default rates, loss severity, etc.) or can be corroborated by observable market data. Examples of assets and liabilities utilizing Level 2 inputs include: U.S. government-sponsored agency securities; non-U.S. government and supranational obligations; commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS"); collateralized loan obligations ("CLO"); corporate and municipal bonds; and
•Level 3 — Valuations based on models where significant inputs are not observable. The unobservable inputs reflect our own assumptions about assumptions that market participants would use developed on the basis of the best information available in the particular circumstances. Examples of assets and liabilities utilizing Level 3 inputs include: an investment in preference shares of a start-up insurance producer.
The availability of observable inputs can vary and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of financial instrument, whether the financial instrument is new and not yet established in the marketplace, and other characteristics particular to the transaction. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires significantly more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by management in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in the Level 3 hierarchy.
The Company uses prices and inputs that are current as at the measurement date. In periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many instruments. This condition could cause an instrument to be reclassified between hierarchy levels.
For investments that have quoted market prices in active markets, the Company uses the quoted market prices as fair value and includes these in the Level 1 hierarchy. The Company receives the quoted market prices from a third party nationally recognized provider ("the Pricing Service"). When quoted market prices are unavailable, the Company utilizes the Pricing Service to determine an estimate of fair value. The fair value estimates are included in the Level 2 hierarchy. The Company will challenge any prices for its investments which are considered not to be representative of fair value.
If quoted market prices and an estimate from the Pricing Service are unavailable, the Company produces an estimate of fair value based on dealer quotations for recent activity in positions with the same or similar characteristics to that being valued. The Company determines whether the fair value estimate is in the Level 2 or Level 3 hierarchy depending on the level of observable inputs available when estimating the fair value. The Company bases its estimates of fair values for assets on the bid price as it represents what a third party market participant would be willing to pay in an orderly transaction.
ASC 825, "Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments", requires all entities to disclose the fair value of their financial instruments for assets and liabilities recognized and not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. The following describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to determine the fair value of financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis held at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
U.S. government and U.S. agency bonds — Bonds issued by the U.S. Treasury, the Federal Home Loan Bank, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, Government National Mortgage Association, Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Farm Credit Banks Funding Corporation. The fair values of U.S. treasury bonds are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and are included in the Level 1 fair value hierarchy. We believe the market for U.S. treasury bonds is an actively traded market given the high level of daily trading volume. The fair values of U.S. agency bonds are determined using the spread above the risk-free yield curve. As the yields for the risk-free yield curve and the spreads for these securities are observable market inputs, the fair values of U.S. agency bonds are included in the Level 2 fair value hierarchy.
Non-U.S. government bonds — These securities are generally priced by independent pricing services. The Pricing Service may use current market trades for securities with similar quality, maturity and coupon. If no such trades are available, the Pricing Service typically uses analytical models which may incorporate spreads, interest rate data and market/sector news. As the significant inputs used to price non-U.S. government bonds are observable market inputs, the fair values of non-U.S. government bonds are included in the Level 2 fair value hierarchy.

5. Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)
Collateralized loan obligations ("CLO") - These asset backed securities are originated by a variety of financial institutions that on acquisition are rated BBB-/Baa3 or higher. These securities are priced by independent pricing services and brokers. The pricing provider applies dealer quotes and other available trade information, prepayment speeds, yield curves and credit spreads to the valuation. As the significant inputs used to price the CLO are observable market inputs, the fair values are included in the Level 2 fair value hierarchy.
Commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS") - These asset backed securities are originated by a variety of financial institutions that on acquisition are rated BBB-/Baa3 or higher. These securities are priced by independent pricing services and brokers. The pricing provider applies dealer quotes and other available trade information, prepayment speeds, yield curves and credit spreads to the valuation. As the significant inputs used to price the CMBS are observable market inputs, the fair values are included in the Level 2 fair value hierarchy.
Corporate and municipal bonds — Bonds issued by corporations, U.S. state and municipality entities or agencies that on acquisition are rated BBB-/Baa3 or higher. These securities are generally priced by independent pricing services. The credit spreads are sourced from broker/dealers, trade prices and new issue market. Where pricing is unavailable from pricing services, custodian pricing or non-binding quotes are obtained from broker-dealers to estimate fair values. As significant inputs used to price corporate and municipal bonds are observable market inputs, fair values are included in the Level 2 fair value hierarchy.
Equity securities - Equity securities include publicly traded common and preferred stocks, and privately held common and preferred stocks. The fair value of publicly traded common and preferred stocks is primarily priced by pricing services, reflecting the closing price quoted for the final trading day of the period. These investments are carried at fair value using observable market pricing data and is included in the Level 1 fair value hierarchy. Any unrealized gains or losses on the investment is recorded in net income in the reporting period in which it occurs. The privately held common and preferred stocks are valued using significant inputs that are unobservable where there is little or no market activity. Unadjusted third party pricing sources or management's assumptions and internal valuation models may be used to determine the fair values, therefore, these investments are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
Other investments — Includes unquoted investments comprised of the following types of investments:
•Privately held investments: These are direct equity investments in common and preferred shares of privately held entities. The fair values are estimated using quarterly financial statements and/or recent private market transactions and thus are included under Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to unobservable market data used for valuation.
•Private credit investments: These are privately held equity investments in common stock of entities that lend money valued using the most recently available or quarterly net asset value ("NAV") statements as provided by the external fund manager or third-party administrator and therefore measured using the NAV as a practical expedient.
•Private equity funds: These are comprised of private equity funds, private equity co-investments with sponsoring entities and investments in real estate limited partnerships and joint ventures. The fair value is estimated based on the most recently available NAV as advised by the external fund manager or third-party administrator. The fair values are therefore measured using the NAV as a practical expedient.
Derivative Instruments - The Company entered into a reinsurance contract that is accounted for as a derivative. This reinsurance contract provides indemnification to an insured or cedant as a result of a change in a variable as opposed to an identifiable insurable event. The Company considers this contract to be part of its underwriting operations. This derivative is initially valued at cost which approximates fair value. In subsequent measurement periods, the fair value of this derivative is determined using internally developed discounted cash flow models using appropriate discount rates. The selection of an appropriate discount rate is judgmental and is the most significant unobservable input used in the valuation of this derivative. The fair value changes in underwriting-related derivative instruments is included within other insurance revenue (expense), net.
The derivative liability on retroactive reinsurance is presented as part of accrued expenses and other liabilities. A significant increase (decrease) in this input in isolation may result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement for the derivative contract. As the significant inputs used to price these derivatives are unobservable, the fair values of these contracts are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
(b) Fair Value Hierarchy
The Company’s estimates of fair value for financial assets and financial liabilities are based on the framework established in ASC 820. The framework is based on the inputs used in valuation and gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and requires that observable inputs be used in the valuation methodology whenever available. In determining the level of the hierarchy in which the estimate is disclosed, the highest priority is given to unadjusted quoted prices in active trading markets and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs that reflect significant market assumptions.

The Company utilizes the Pricing Service to assist in determining the fair value of its investments; however, management is ultimately responsible for all fair values presented in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. This includes responsibility for monitoring the fair value process, ensuring objective and reliable valuation practices, and pricing of assets and liabilities and use of pricing sources. The Company analyzes and reviews the information and prices received from the Pricing Service to ensure that the prices provided represent a reasonable estimate of fair value.
The Pricing Service was utilized to estimate fair value measurements for 97.7% and 97.9% of our fixed maturities at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Pricing Service utilizes market quotations for fixed maturity securities that have quoted market prices in active markets. Since fixed maturities other than U.S. treasury bonds generally do not trade actively on a daily basis, the Pricing Service prepares estimates of fair value measurements using relevant market data, benchmark curves, sector groupings and matrix pricing and these have been classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, approximately 2.3% and 2.1%, respectively, of our fixed maturities were valued using the market approach. At June 30, 2024, one security or $5,008 (December 31, 2023: one security or $5,382) of our fixed maturity investment portfolio classified as Level 2 in the FMV hierarchy table was priced using a binding quotation from a broker and/or custodian as opposed to the Pricing Service and therefore was transferred from Level 3 to Level 2 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. This same security was classified as Level 3 at December 31, 2023.

5. Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)
At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company has not adjusted any pricing provided to it based on the review performed by its investment managers. There were no transfers to or from Level 3 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.
(c) Level 3 Financial Instruments
At June 30, 2024, the Company holds Level 3 financial instruments which consist of private credit funds and privately held investments of $52,468 (December 31, 2023: $52,483) and an underwriting-related derivative liability of $3,984 (December 31, 2023: $3,984) on a reinsurance contract written by GLS which is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities.
The fair value of privately held equity securities are estimated using quarterly unaudited capital or financial statements provided by the investee or recent private market transactions, where applicable. Any changes to the financial information provided by the investee could result in a significantly higher or lower valuation at the reporting date. The fair value of underwriting-related derivative instruments is determined using a discounted cash flow model in which the Company examines current market conditions, historical results as well as contract specific information that may impact future cash flows in order to assess the reasonableness of inputs used in the valuation model. Due to significant unobservable inputs in these valuations, the Company classifies the fair values as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.
The following table provides a summary of quantitative information regarding the significant unobservable inputs used in determining the fair value of other investments measured at fair value on a recurring basis under the Level 3 classification at June 30, 2024:
  Fair Value Valuation Technique Unobservable Inputs Range
Privately held equity securities - common shares $ 39,537  Quarterly financial statements Price/book ratios of comparable public companies

(d) Financial Instruments Disclosed, But Not Carried, at Fair Value
The fair value of financial instruments accounting guidance also applies to financial instruments disclosed, but not carried, at fair value, except for certain financial instruments related to insurance contracts.
At June 30, 2024, the carrying values of cash equivalents (including restricted amounts), accrued investment income, reinsurance balances receivable, loan to related party, and certain other assets and liabilities approximate fair values due to their inherent short duration. As these financial instruments are not actively traded, the fair values of these financial instruments are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
The investments made by direct lending entities are carried at cost less an allowance for expected credit losses, with any indication of credit loss recognized in net income when determined. The net carrying value of these investments approximates their fair value at the reporting date. The fair value estimates of these investments are not based on observable market data and therefore are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Maiden NA is required to give at least thirty days and not more than sixty days notice prior to the redemption date.
Under the terms of the 2016 Senior Notes, the 2016 Senior Notes can be redeemed, in whole or in part, at Maiden Holdings' option at any time and from time to time, until maturity at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed plus accrued but unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to, but not including, the redemption date. Maiden Holdings is required to give at least thirty days and not more than sixty days notice prior to the redemption date.
On May 3, 2023, the Company's Board of Directors approved the repurchase, including the repurchase by Maiden Reinsurance in accordance with its investment guidelines, of up to $100,000 of the Company's Senior Notes from time to time at market prices in open market purchases or as may be privately negotiated. The Company has a remaining authorization of $99,905 for Senior Notes repurchases at June 30, 2024. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, Maiden Reinsurance repurchased 5,567 notes of the 2013 Senior Notes at an average price per unit of $17.10 for a total cost of $95. Total interest and amortization expenses of $4,813 and $8,637 were partly offset by a realized gain of $40 from the repurchase of the 2013 Senior Notes during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

8. Reinsurance
The Company uses reinsurance and retrocessional agreements ("ceded reinsurance") to mitigate volatility, reduce its exposure to certain risks and provide capital support. Ceded reinsurance provides for the recovery of a portion of loss and LAE under certain circumstances without relieving the Company of its obligations to the policyholders. The Company remains liable to the extent that any of its reinsurers or retrocessionaires fails to meet their obligations. Loss and LAE incurred and premiums earned are reported after deduction for ceded reinsurance. In the event that one or more of our reinsurers or retrocessionaires are unable to meet their obligations under these agreements, the Company would not realize the full value of the reinsurance recoverable balances.
The effect of ceded reinsurance on net premiums written and earned and on net loss and LAE for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was as follows:

The Company's reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses balance as at June 30, 2024 was $570,036 (December 31, 2023: $564,331) presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2024, the total allowance for expected credit losses on the Company's reinsurance recoverable balance was $2,735 (December 31, 2023: $3,240).
The following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the allowance for expected credit losses on reinsurance recoverable for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

On December 27, 2018, Cavello Bay Reinsurance Limited ("Cavello") and Maiden Reinsurance entered into a retrocession agreement pursuant to which certain assets and liabilities associated with the U.S. treaty reinsurance business held by Maiden Reinsurance were 100.0% retroceded to Cavello in exchange for a ceding commission. The reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses due from Cavello under this retrocession agreement was $42,245 at June 30, 2024 (December 31, 2023: $43,176). The recoverable due from Cavello is net of an allowance for expected credit losses of $2,493 as at June 30, 2024 (December 31, 2023: $2,769).
On July 31, 2019, Maiden Reinsurance and Cavello entered into a Loss Portfolio Transfer and Adverse Development Cover Agreement ("LPT/ADC Agreement") pursuant to which Cavello assumed the loss reserves as of December 31, 2018 associated with the AmTrust Quota Share in excess of a $2,178,535 retention up to $600,000, in exchange for a retrocession premium of $445,000. The $2,178,535 retention is subject to adjustment for paid losses subsequent to December 31, 2018. The LPT/ADC Agreement provides Maiden Reinsurance with $155,000 in adverse development cover over its carried AmTrust Quota Share loss reserves at December 31, 2018. The LPT/ADC Agreement meets the criteria for risk transfer and is thus accounted for as retroactive reinsurance.

8. Reinsurance (continued)
Cumulative ceded losses exceeding $445,000 are recognized as a deferred gain liability and amortized into income over the settlement period of the ceded reserves in proportion to cumulative losses collected over the estimated ultimate reinsurance recoverable. The amount of the deferral is recalculated each period based on loss payments and updated estimates. Consequently, cumulative adverse development subsequent to December 31, 2018 may result in significant losses from operations until periods when the deferred gain is recognized as a benefit to earnings. As of June 30, 2024, the reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses under the LPT/ADC Agreement was $522,976 while the deferred gain liability under the LPT/ADC Agreement was $78,203 (December 31, 2023: $515,463 and $70,916, respectively). The recoverable due under the LPT/ADC Agreement is net of an allowance for expected credit losses of $227 as at June 30, 2024 (December 31, 2023: $453). Amortization of the deferred gain will not occur until paid losses have exceeded the minimum retention under the LPT/ADC Agreement, which is estimated to be before the end of 2024.
Cavello provided collateral in the form of a letter of credit in the amount of $445,000 to AmTrust under the LPT/ADC Agreement. Cavello is subject to additional collateral funding requirements as explained in "Note 10. Related Party Transactions". As of June 30, 2024, the amount of collateral required was $500,334 (December 31, 2023 - $490,070). Under the terms of the LPT/ADC Agreement, the covered losses associated with the Commutation and Release Agreement with AmTrust are eligible to be covered but recoverable only when such losses are paid or settled by AII or its affiliates, provided such losses and other related amounts shall not exceed $312,786. Cavello's parent company, Enstar Group Limited, has credit ratings of BBB+ from both Standard & Poor's and Fitch Ratings at June 30, 2024.

9. Reserve for Loss and Loss Adjustment Expenses
The Company uses both historical experience and industry-wide loss development factors to provide a reasonable basis for estimating future losses. In the future, certain events may be beyond the control of management, such as changes in law, judicial interpretations of law, and rates of inflation, which may favorably or unfavorably impact the ultimate settlement of the Company’s loss and LAE reserves.
The anticipated effect of inflation is implicitly considered when estimating liabilities for loss and LAE. While anticipated changes in claim costs due to inflation are considered in estimating the ultimate claim costs, changes in the average severity of claims are caused by a number of factors that vary with the individual type of policy written. Ultimate losses are projected based on historical trends adjusted for implemented changes in underwriting standards, claims handling, policy provisions, and general economic trends. Those anticipated trends are monitored based on actual development and are modified if necessary.
The reserving process begins with the collection and analysis of paid losses and incurred claims data for each of the Company's contracts. While reserves are mostly reviewed on a contract by contract basis, paid loss and incurred claims data is also aggregated into reserving segments. The segmental data is disaggregated by reserving class and further disaggregated by either accident year (i.e. the year in which the loss event occurred) or by underwriting year (i.e. the year in which the contract generating the premium and losses incepted). In cases where the Company uses underwriting year information, reserves are subsequently allocated to the respective accident year. The reserve for loss and LAE consists of:
June 30, 2024 December 31, 2023
Reserve for reported loss and LAE
 $ 451,209  $ 543,818 
Reserve for losses incurred but not reported ("IBNR")
 311,055  323,615 
Reserve for loss and LAE
 $ 762,264  $ 867,433

Prior period loss development ("PPD") arises from changes to loss estimates recognized in the current year that relate to loss reserves established in previous calendar years. The favorable or unfavorable development reflects changes in management's best estimate of the ultimate losses under the relevant reinsurance policies after considerable review of changes in actuarial assessments. The Company recognized net adverse PPD of $6,800 and $13,363 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively (2023: adverse $4,494 and $8,150, respectively).

In the Diversified Reinsurance segment, there was adverse PPD of $1,557 and $902 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively (2023: adverse $1,317 and $2,074, respectively). The adverse PPD for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was driven by development in International and other runoff business lines. The adverse PPD for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was due to International and facultative lines partly offset by favorable development in GLS business. Prior year development for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was driven by adverse development primarily due to a Australia Warranty program and a German Auto program in run-off from the International unit along with development from other runoff business lines and included the recognition of expected credit losses on reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses.
The table below shows prior year loss development for the AmTrust Reinsurance segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:
For the Three Months Ended June 30, For the Six Months Ended June 30,

Total AmTrust Reinsurance PPD $ 5,243  $ 3,177  $ 12,461  $ 6,076 
In the AmTrust Reinsurance segment, net adverse PPD was $5,243 and $12,461 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively (2023: adverse $3,177 and $6,076, respectively) as detailed in the table above.
Net adverse PPD for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily from the AmTrust Quota Share and European Hospital Liability. In the AmTrust Quota Share, U.S. Program business experienced additional adverse development from construction defect coverage for accident years 2015 to 2018 as new claims emergence was significantly greater than expected; this was partly offset by continued favorable development within Workers Compensation business for accident years 2014 to 2017. Net adverse loss development on European Hospital Liability Quota Share was primarily driven by emergence of loss data from adverse claim verdicts on older claims, resulting in strengthening of loss development tail on underwriting years 2011 to 2014.
Net adverse PPD for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily from General Liability and Commercial Auto Liability partly offset by continued favorable development in Workers Compensation.
The increase in the deferred gain on retroactive reinsurance was $7,266 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 (2023: $12,317 increase). This included an increase in the deferred gain liability and related reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses under the LPT/ADC Agreement with Cavello of $7,287 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 (2023: $12,300 increase) caused by adverse development on loss reserves covered under the LPT/ADC Agreement (2023 - adverse). The deferred gain on retroactive reinsurance under the LPT/ADC Agreement represents the cumulative adverse development for covered risks in the AmTrust Quota Share as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Amortization of the deferred gain will not occur until paid losses have exceeded the minimum retention under the LPT/ADC Agreement, which is estimated to be before the end of 2024.

AmTrust Quota Share
Effective July 1, 2007, the Company and AmTrust entered into a master agreement, as amended ("Master Agreement"), by which they caused Maiden Reinsurance and AII to enter into the AmTrust Quota Share by which AII retroceded to Maiden Reinsurance an amount equal to 40% of the premium written by subsidiaries of AmTrust, net of the cost of unaffiliated inuring reinsurance and 40% of losses. The Master Agreement further provided that AII receive a ceding commission of 31% of ceded written premiums. On June 11, 2008, Maiden Reinsurance and AII amended the AmTrust Quota Share to add Retail Commercial Package Business to the Covered Business (as defined in the AmTrust Quota Share). AII receives a ceding commission of 34.375% on Retail Commercial Package Business. On July 1, 2016, the agreement was renewed through June 30, 2019. Effective July 1, 2018, the amount AEL ceded to Maiden Reinsurance was reduced to 20%.
Effective July 1, 2013, for the Specialty Program portion of Covered Business only, AII was responsible for ultimate net loss otherwise recoverable from Maiden Reinsurance to the extent that the loss ratio to Maiden Reinsurance, which shall be determined on an inception to date basis from July 1, 2007 through the date of calculation, is between 81.5% and 95% ("Loss Corridor"). Above and below the Loss Corridor, Maiden Reinsurance continued to reinsure losses at its proportional 40% share of the AmTrust Quota Share. Effective July 31, 2019, the Loss Corridor was amended such that the maximum amount covered is $40,500, the amount calculated by Maiden Reinsurance for the Loss Corridor coverage as of March 31, 2019. Any development above this maximum amount will be subject to the coverage of the LPT/ADC Agreement.
Effective January 1, 2019, Maiden Reinsurance and AII entered into a partial termination amendment ("Partial Termination Amendment") which amended the AmTrust Quota Share. The Partial Termination Amendment provided for the cut-off of the ongoing and unearned premium of AmTrust’s Small Commercial Business and U.S. Specialty Risk and Extended Warranty ("Terminated Business") as of December 31, 2018. Under the Partial Termination Amendment, the ceding commission payable by Maiden Reinsurance for its remaining in-force business immediately prior to January 1, 2019 increased by five percentage points with respect to in-force remaining business (excluding Terminated Business) and related unearned premium as of January 1, 2019. Subsequently, on January 30, 2019, Maiden Reinsurance and AII agreed to terminate the remaining business subject to the AmTrust Quota Share on a run-off basis effective as of January 1, 2019.
Effective July 31, 2019, Maiden Reinsurance and AII entered into a Commutation and Release Agreement which provided for AII to assume all reserves ceded by AII to Maiden Reinsurance with respect to its proportional 40% share of the ultimate net loss under the AmTrust Quota Share related to the commuted business including: (a) all losses incurred in Accident Year 2017 and Accident Year 2018 under California workers' compensation policies and as defined in the AmTrust Quota Share ("Commuted California Business"); and (b) all losses incurred in Accident Year 2018 under New York workers' compensation policies ("Commuted New York Business"), and together with the Commuted California Business ("Commuted Business") in exchange for the release and full discharge of Maiden Reinsurance's obligations to AII with respect to the Commuted Business. The Commuted Business excludes any business classified by AII as Specialty Program or Specialty Risk business.
AII and Maiden Reinsurance also agreed that as of July 31, 2019, the AmTrust Quota Share was deemed amended as applicable so that the Commuted Business is no longer included as part of Covered Business under the AmTrust Quota Share.
On January 30, 2019, in connection with the termination of the reinsurance agreement described above, the Company and AmTrust entered into a second amendment to the Master Agreement between the parties, originally entered into on July 3, 2007, to remove the provisions requiring AmTrust to reinsure business with the Company. Please refer to "Note 10. Related Party Transactions" in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 for further details.
European Hospital Liability Quota Share
Effective April 1, 2011, Maiden Reinsurance entered into the European Hospital Liability Quota Share with AEL and AIU DAC. Pursuant to the terms of the European Hospital Liability Quota Share, Maiden Reinsurance assumed 40% of the premiums and losses related to policies classified as European Hospital Liability, including associated liability coverages and policies covering physician defense costs, written or renewed on or after April 1, 2011. The European Hospital Liability Quota Share also covers policies written or renewed on or before March 31, 2011, but only with respect to losses that occur, accrue or arise on or after April 1, 2011. The maximum limit of liability attaching shall be €5,000 (€10,000 effective January 1, 2012) or currency equivalent (on a 100% basis) per original claim for any one original policy. Maiden Reinsurance paid a ceding commission of 5% on contracts assumed under the European Hospital Liability Quota Share. 
Effective July 1, 2016, the European Hospital Liability Quota Share was amended such that Maiden Reinsurance assumes from AEL 32.5% of the premiums and losses of all policies written or renewed on or after July 1, 2016 until June 30, 2017 and 20% of all policies written or renewed on or after July 1, 2017.

10. Related Party Transactions (continued)
Effective July 1, 2022, Maiden Reinsurance and AIU DAC entered into an agreement ("Commutation Agreement") which provided for AIU DAC to assume all reserves ceded by AIU DAC to Maiden Reinsurance with respect to AIU DAC’s French Medical Malpractice exposures for underwriting years 2012 through 2018 reinsured by Maiden Reinsurance under the European Hospital Liability Quota Share. In accordance with the Commutation Agreement, Maiden Reinsurance paid $31,291 (€29,401) to AIU DAC, which is the sum of net ceded reserves of $27,625 (€25,956) and an agreed exit cost of $3,666 (€3,444). As a result of the Commutation Agreement, Maiden Reinsurance reduced its exposure to AmTrust's Hospital Liability business, but still has exposure to Italian medical malpractice liabilities under the European Hospital Liability Quota Share.
The table below shows the effect of both of these quota share arrangements with AmTrust on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Income Statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively:

Collateral provided to AmTrust
a) AmTrust Quota Share
To provide AmTrust's U.S. insurance subsidiaries with credit for reinsurance on their statutory financial statements, AII, as the direct reinsurer of AmTrust's insurance subsidiaries, established trust accounts ("Trust Accounts") for their benefit. Maiden Reinsurance has provided appropriate collateral to secure its proportional share under the AmTrust Quota Share of AII's obligations to the AmTrust subsidiaries to whom AII is required to provide collateral which can include: (a) assets loaned by Maiden Reinsurance to AII for deposit into the Trust Accounts, pursuant to a loan agreement between those parties; (b) assets transferred by Maiden Reinsurance for deposit into the Trust Accounts; or (c) a letter of credit obtained by Maiden Reinsurance and delivered to an AmTrust subsidiary on AII's behalf. Maiden Reinsurance may provide any or a combination of these forms of collateral, provided that the aggregate value thereof equals Maiden Reinsurance's proportionate share of its obligations under the AmTrust Quota Share. The collateral requirements under the AmTrust Quota Share with AII was satisfied as follows:
•by lending funds of $167,975 at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 pursuant to a loan agreement entered into between those parties. Advances under the loan are secured by promissory notes. This loan was assigned by AII to AmTrust effective December 31, 2014 and is carried at cost. There was no allowance for expected credit losses recognized on the loan at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Interest is payable at a rate equivalent to the Federal Funds Effective Rate ("Fed Funds") plus 200 basis points per annum. The interest income on the loan was $3,053 and $6,123 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively (2023: $2,927 and $5,625, respectively) and the effective yield was 7.3% for the respective periods (2023: 7.0% and 6.7%, respectively).
•on January 30, 2019, in connection with the termination of the reinsurance agreements described above, the Company and AmTrust amended the Loan Agreement between Maiden Reinsurance, AmTrust and AII, originally entered into on November 16, 2007, by extending the maturity date to January 1, 2025 and specifies that due to the termination of the AmTrust Quota Share, no further loans or advances may be made pursuant to the Loan Agreement.
•on January 11, 2019, the Company transferred $575,000 to AmTrust as a portion of the existing Trust Accounts used for collateral on the AmTrust Quota Share was converted to a funds withheld arrangement. The funds withheld receivable earns an annual interest rate of 3.5% for 2024, subject to annual adjustment (2023: 3.5%). At June 30, 2024, the funds withheld balance was $17,864 (December 31, 2023: $128,451) and accrued interest was $346 and (December 31, 2023: $1,584). The interest income on the funds withheld receivable was $347 and $1,191 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively (2023: $3,061 and $6,342, respectively). No allowance for expected credit losses was recognized for the fund withheld receivable from AmTrust and related accrued interest at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Pursuant to the terms of the LPT/ADC Agreement, Maiden Reinsurance, Cavello and AmTrust and certain of its affiliated companies entered into a Master Collateral Agreement (“MCA”) to define and enable the operation of collateral provided under the AmTrust Quota Share. Under the MCA, Cavello provided letters of credit on behalf of Maiden Reinsurance to AmTrust in an amount representing Cavello’s obligations under the LPT/ADC Agreement. Because these letters of credit replaced other collateral previously provided directly by Maiden Reinsurance to AmTrust, the MCA coordinates the collateral protection that will be provided to AmTrust to ensure that no gaps in collateral funding occur by operation of the LPT/ADC Agreement and related MCA. As a result of entering into both the LPT/ADC Agreement and the MCA, certain post-termination endorsements (“PTEs”) to the AmTrust Quota Share between AII and Maiden Reinsurance were required.

10. Related Party Transactions (continued)
Effective July 31, 2019, the PTEs: i) enable the operation of both the LPT/ADC Agreement and MCA by making provision for certain forms of collateral, including letters of credit provided by Cavello on Maiden Reinsurance’s behalf, and further defines the permitted use and return of collateral; and ii) increase the required funding percentage for Maiden Reinsurance under the collateral arrangements between the parties to 105% of its obligations, subject to a minimum excess funding requirement of $54,000, as may be mutually amended by the parties from time to time. Under certain defined conditions, Maiden Reinsurance may be required to increase this funding percentage to 110%.
Effective March 16, 2020, Maiden Reinsurance discontinued as a Bermuda company and completed its re-domestication to the State of Vermont. Bermuda is a Solvency II equivalent jurisdiction and the State of Vermont is not such a jurisdiction; therefore, the collateral provided under the respective agreements with AmTrust subsidiaries was strengthened to reflect the impact of the re-domestication concurrent with the date of Maiden Reinsurance’s re-domestication to Vermont. Maiden Reinsurance and AmTrust agreed to: 1) amend the AmTrust Quota Share pursuant to Post Termination Endorsement No. 2 effective March 16, 2020; and 2) amend the European Hospital Liability Quota Share pursuant to Post Termination Endorsement No. 1 effective March 16, 2020.
Pursuant to the terms of Post Termination Endorsement No. 2 to the AmTrust Quota Share, Maiden Reinsurance strengthened the collateral protection provided by Maiden Reinsurance to AII by increasing the required funding percentage for Maiden Reinsurance under the collateral arrangements between the parties to 110% of its obligations, subject to a minimum excess funding requirement of $54,000, as may be mutually amended by the parties from time to time. Post Termination Endorsement No. 2 also sets forth conditions by which the funding percentage will be reduced and the sequence of how collateral will be utilized as obligations, as defined under the AmTrust Quota Share, are satisfied. Pursuant to the terms of Post Termination Endorsement No. 2, the funding percentage was reduced to 107.5% during the first quarter of 2023.
Pursuant to the terms of Post Termination Endorsement No. 1 to the European Hospital Liability Quota Share, Maiden Reinsurance strengthened the collateral protection provided by Maiden Reinsurance to AEL and AIU DAC by increasing the required funding percentage for Maiden Reinsurance under the collateral arrangements between the parties to the greater of 120% of the Exposure (as defined therein) and the amount of security required to offset the increase in the Solvency Capital Requirement (“SCR”) that results from the changes in the SCR which arise out of Maiden Reinsurance's re-domestication as compared to the SCR calculation if Maiden Reinsurance had remained domesticated in a Solvency II equivalent jurisdiction with a solvency ratio above 100% and provided collateral equivalent to 100% of the Exposure.
b) European Hospital Liability Quota Share
Collateral has been provided to both AEL and AIU DAC under the European Hospital Liability Quota Share. For AEL, the amount of the collateral held in reinsurance trust accounts at June 30, 2024 was $135,474 (December 31, 2023: $147,635) and the accrued interest was $1,103 (December 31, 2023: $1,091).
Asset Management Agreement
Effective July 1, 2007, the Company entered into an asset management agreement with AII Insurance Management Limited ("AIIM"), a wholly owned subsidiary of AmTrust, pursuant to which AIIM agreed to provide investment management services to the Company. Effective January 1, 2018, AIIM provides investment management services for a quarterly fee of 0.02125% of the average value of the account. The agreement may be terminated upon 30 days written notice by either party. The Company recorded $56 and $113 of investment management fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively (2023: $72 and $145, respectively) under this agreement.
On September 9, 2020, Maiden Reinsurance, AmTrust and AIIM entered into a novation agreement, effective July 1, 2020, which provided for the novation of the asset management agreement, dated January 1, 2018 between Maiden Reinsurance and AIIM, and the release by Maiden Reinsurance of AIIM's obligations under the asset management agreement. The novation mandates that AmTrust is to be bound by the terms of the asset management agreement in place of AIIM and AmTrust agrees to perform any and all past, present and future obligations of AIIM under the asset management agreement.
On November 13, 2020, Maiden LF, Maiden GF, AmTrust and AIIM entered into a novation agreement, effective July 1, 2020, which provided for the novation of the asset management agreement, dated January 1, 2018 between Maiden LF, Maiden GF and AIIM, and the release by Maiden LF and Maiden GF of AIIM's obligations under the asset management agreement. The novation mandates that AmTrust is to be bound by the terms of the asset management agreement in place of AIIM and AmTrust agrees to perform any and all past, present and future obligations of AIIM under the asset management agreement.
Renewal Rights Agreement - IIS Business
On May 3, 2024 and June 20, 2024, Maiden LF and Maiden GF entered into the AmTrust Renewal Rights Agreements with certain subsidiaries of AmTrust, which are expected to cover the majority of Maiden LF and Maiden GF's primary business written in Sweden, Norway, other Nordic countries, the United Kingdom and Ireland. Under these agreements, those AmTrust subsidiaries in collaboration with existing Maiden LF and Maiden GF distribution partners, will offer renewals to select policyholders in exchange for a fee at standard market terms for business successfully renewed.

11. Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees
There are no material changes from the commitments, contingencies and concentrations previously disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
a)Concentrations of Credit Risk
At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s assets where significant concentrations of credit risk may exist include investments, cash and cash equivalents, loan to related party, reinsurance balances receivable, reinsurance recoverable on paid and unpaid losses and funds withheld receivable. Please refer to "Note 8. Reinsurance" for additional information regarding the Company's credit risk exposure on its reinsurance counterparties including the impact of the LPT/ADC Agreement effective January 1, 2019. The Company requires its reinsurers to have adequate financial strength.
The Company evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and monitors its concentration of credit risk on an ongoing basis. Provisions are made for amounts that are considered potentially uncollectible. Reinsurance receivable and recoverable balances, loan to related party, and the funds withheld receivable are reviewed for expected credit losses on a quarterly basis and are presented net of an allowance for expected credit losses. Letters of credit are provided by its reinsurers for material amounts recoverable as discussed in "Note 8. Reinsurance".
The Company manages the concentration of credit risk in its investment portfolio through issuer and sector exposure limitations. The Company believes it bears minimal credit risk in its cash on deposit. The Company also monitors the credit risk related to the loan to related party, reinsurance balances receivable and funds withheld receivable, within which the largest balances are due from AmTrust. AmTrust has a financial strength/credit rating of A- (Excellent) from A.M. Best at June 30, 2024. To mitigate credit risk, the Company generally has a contractual right of offset thereby allowing claims to be settled net of any premiums or loan receivable. The Company believes these balances as at June 30, 2024 will be fully collectible.
b)Investment Commitments and Related Financial Guarantees
The Company had total unfunded commitments on alternative investments of $94,532 at June 30, 2024 (December 31, 2023: $100,846) which included commitments for other investments, private equity securities and equity method investments. The table below shows the total unfunded commitments by type of investment as at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:
  June 30, 2024 December 31, 2023
Fair Value % of Total Fair Value % of Total
Private equity funds $ 51,038  54.0  % $ 53,675  53.2  %
Private credit funds 10,909  11.5  % 11,361  11.3  %
Investments in direct lending entities —  —  % 595  0.6  %
Total unfunded commitments on other investments $ 61,947  65.5  % $ 65,631  65.1  %
 
Total unfunded commitments on equity securities $ 14,735  15.6  % $ 14,735  14.6  %
 
Total unfunded commitments on equity method investments $ 17,850  18.9  % $ 20,480  20.3  %
Total unfunded commitments on alternative investments $ 94,532  100.0  % $ 100,846  100.0  %
Certain of the Company's investments in limited partnerships are related to real estate joint ventures with interests in multi-property projects with varying strategies ranging from the development of properties to the ownership of income-producing properties. In certain of these joint ventures, the Company has provided certain indemnities, guarantees and commitments to certain parties such that it may be required to make payments now or in the future.
Any loss for which the Company could be liable would be contingent on the default of a loan by the real estate joint venture entity for which the Company provided a financial guarantee to a lender. While the Company has committed to aggregate limits as to the amount of guarantees it will provide as part of its limited partnerships, guarantees are only provided on an individual transaction basis and are subject to the terms and conditions of each transaction mutually agreed by the parties involved. The Company is not bound to such guarantees without its express authorization.
As discussed above, at June 30, 2024, guarantees of $69,025 (December 31, 2023: $62,508) were provided to lenders by the Company on behalf of real estate joint ventures, however, the likelihood of the Company incurring any losses pertaining to project level financing guarantees was determined to be remote. Therefore, no liability has been accrued under ASC 450-20.
c)Operating Lease Commitments
The Company leases office spaces and equipment under various operating leases expiring in various years through 2034. The Company's leases are currently classified as operating leases and none of them have non-lease components. For operating leases that have a lease term of more than twelve months, and whose lease payments are above a certain threshold, the Company recognizes a lease liability and a right-of-use asset in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at the present value of the remaining lease payments until expiration.

11. Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees (continued)
As the lease contracts generally do not provide an implicit discount rate, the Company used the weighted-average discount rate of 8.6%, representing its secured incremental borrowing rate, in calculating the present value of the lease liability. At June 30, 2024, the Company's future lease obligations of $1,939 (December 31, 2023: $228) were calculated based on the present value of future annual rental commitments excluding taxes, insurance and other operating costs for non-cancellable operating leases discounted using its secured incremental borrowing rate. This amount has been recognized on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as a lease liability within accrued expenses and other liabilities with an initial equivalent amount for the right-of-use asset presented as part of other assets. At June 30, 2024, the Company's right-of-use lease asset of $1,559 reflected certain lease incentives that were accepted which reduced the right-of-use asset and were separately capitalized under leasehold improvements to be depreciated over the effective term of the related lease agreements (December 31, 2023: $228).
The Company has made an accounting policy election not to include renewal, termination, or purchase options that are not reasonably certain of exercise when determining the term of the borrowing. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. The Company's weighted-average remaining lease term is approximately 9.7 years at June 30, 2024. 
Under Topic 842, Leases, the Company continues to recognize the related leasing expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company's total lease expense was $152 and $298 for three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively (2023: $135 and $255, respectively) recognized within general and administrative expenses consistent with the prior accounting treatment under Topic 840.
At June 30, 2024, the scheduled maturity of the Company's operating lease liabilities are expected to be as follows:
  June 30, 2024
2024 $ 216 
2025 317 
2026 277 
2027 277 
2028 277 
Thereafter 1,754 
Discount for present value (1,179)
Total discounted operating lease liabilities $ 1,939 
The Company has contracted to lease office space in New York City commencing in April 2024, which created a significant right-of-use asset and a lease liability once certain leasehold improvements were completed and the operating lease has commenced. The Company has occupied this space and capitalized the leased asset in the second quarter of 2024.
d)Legal Proceedings
Except as noted below, the Company is not a party to any material legal proceedings. From time to time, the Company is subject to routine legal proceedings, including arbitration, arising in the ordinary course of business. These legal proceedings generally relate to claims asserted by or against the Company in the ordinary course of insurance or reinsurance operations. Based on the Company's opinion, the eventual outcome of these legal proceedings is not expected to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.
In April 2009, the Company learned that Bentzion S. Turin, the former Chief Operating Officer, General Counsel and Secretary of Maiden Holdings and Maiden Reinsurance, sent a letter to the U.S. Department of Labor claiming that his employment with the Company was terminated in retaliation for corporate whistle-blowing in violation of the whistle-blower protection provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Mr. Turin alleged that he was terminated for raising concerns regarding corporate governance with respect to the negotiation of the terms of the Trust Preferred Securities Offering. He seeks reinstatement as Chief Operating Officer, General Counsel and Secretary of Maiden Holdings and Maiden Reinsurance, back pay and legal fees incurred. On December 31, 2009, the U.S. Secretary of Labor found no reasonable cause for Mr. Turin’s claim and dismissed the complaint in its entirety. Mr. Turin objected to the Secretary's findings and requested a hearing before an administrative law judge in the U.S. Department of Labor. The Company moved to dismiss Mr. Turin's complaint, and its motion was granted by the Administrative Law Judge on June 30, 2011. On July 13, 2011, Mr. Turin filed a petition for review of the Administrative Law Judge's decision with the Administrative Review Board in the U.S. Department of Labor. On March 29, 2013, the Administrative Review Board reversed the dismissal of the complaint on procedural grounds, and remanded the case to the administrative law judge. The administrative hearing began in September 2014 and concluded in November 2018. On September 2, 2021, Administrative Law Judge Theresa C. Timlin of the U.S. Department of Labor issued a decision and order which denied Mr. Turin’s complaint in full. On September 16, 2021, Mr. Turin filed a petition for review of the Administrative Law Judge's decision with the Administrative Review Board in the U.S. Department of Labor. On June 29, 2023, the Administrative Review Board issued a decision and order which summarily affirmed the September 2, 2021 decision and order of the Administrative Law Judge.

11. Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees (continued)
The decision and order of the Administrative Review Board became the final order of the Secretary of Labor on July 27, 2023. On July 28, 2023, Mr. Turin filed a petition for review of the final order of the Secretary of Labor in the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. The Secretary of Labor is the respondent before the Second Circuit and the Court granted the Company's petition to intervene in order to present its position to the Court.
A putative class action complaint was filed against Maiden Holdings, Arturo M. Raschbaum, Karen L. Schmitt, and John M. Marshaleck in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey on February 11, 2019. On February 19, 2020, the Court appointed lead plaintiffs, and on May 1, 2020, lead plaintiffs filed an amended class action complaint (the “Amended Complaint”). The Amended Complaint asserts violations of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 (and Section 20(a) for control person liability) arising in large part from allegations that Maiden failed to take adequate loss reserves in connection with reinsurance provided to AmTrust.
Plaintiffs further claim that certain of Maiden Holdings’ representations concerning its business, underwriting and financial statements were rendered false by the allegedly inadequate loss reserves, that these misrepresentations inflated the price of Maiden Holdings' common stock, and that when the truth about the misrepresentations was revealed, the Company’s stock price fell, causing Plaintiffs to incur losses. On September 11, 2020, a motion to dismiss was filed on behalf of all Defendants. On August 6, 2021, the Court issued an order denying, in part, Defendants’ motion to dismiss, ordering Plaintiffs to file a shorter amended complaint no later than August 20, 2021, and permitting discovery to proceed on a limited basis. On February 7, 2023, the District Court denied Plaintiffs’ motion for reconsideration of the District Court’s decision denying Plaintiffs’ objection to the Magistrate Judge’s December 2021 ruling on discovery. On May 26, 2023, the Company filed a Renewed Motion to Dismiss the Second Amended Complaint or, in the Alternative, for Summary Judgment, which has been fully briefed. On December 19, 2023, the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey granted summary judgment on plaintiffs’ claim for securities fraud under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act to Maiden Holdings, Ltd. and individual defendants Arturo Raschbaum, Karen Schmitt, and John Marshalek. The Court held that the factual record failed to support, as a matter of law, plaintiffs’ allegations that the defendants had made false statements regarding the Company’s loss reserves. The Court also dismissed plaintiffs’ claims that the individual defendants were liable as control persons under Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act for any such alleged false statements. Plaintiffs have appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.
We believe the claims are without merit and we intend to vigorously defend ourselves. It is possible that additional lawsuits will be filed against the Company, its subsidiaries and its respective officers due to the diminution in value of our securities as a result of our operating results and financial condition. It is currently uncertain as to the effect of such litigation on our business, operating results and financial condition.

Share Compensation and Pension Plans" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 for the terms and conditions of securities that could potentially be dilutive in the future. There were no potentially dilutive securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 (2023: 0).


13. Income Taxes
The Company recognized income tax expense of $442 and $453 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to an income tax benefit of $194 and $222 for the same respective periods in 2023. The effective tax rate on the Company's net loss differs from the statutory rate of zero percent under Bermuda law due to tax on foreign operations, primarily the U.S. and Sweden.
A valuation allowance has been established against the net U.S. and International deferred tax assets which is primarily attributable to net operating losses and capital losses in the respective regions. At this time, the Company believes it is necessary to establish a valuation allowance against the U.S. and International net deferred tax assets as more evidence is needed regarding the utilization of these losses.
At June 30, 2024, the Company has available net operating loss carry-forwards of $338,166 (December 31, 2023: $337,420) for income tax purposes. Approximately $186,203 (December 31, 2023: $186,203) of net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards expire in various years beginning in 2029. As of June 30, 2024, approximately $151,963 or 44.9% of the Company's NOL carryforwards have no expiry date under the relevant U.S. tax law. At June 30, 2024, the Company also has a capital loss carry-forward of $14,134 (December 31, 2023: $13,853) which will start to expire in 2024.

Overview
Maiden Holdings is a Bermuda-based holding company. We create shareholder value by actively managing and allocating our assets and capital, including through ownership and management of businesses and assets mostly in the insurance and related financial services industries where we can leverage our deep knowledge of those markets.
As discussed in the “Legacy Underwriting” section further below, we have fulfilled our capital commitment to Genesis Legacy Solutions ("GLS") and have determined we will not commit any further capital to GLS for new accounts and we presently do not anticipate any further contracts in the legacy management segment, as we no longer consider it part of our strategy to produce acceptable shareholder returns.
We are not currently underwriting reinsurance business on new prospective risks but have recently underwritten risks on a retroactive basis through GLS. We also have various historic reinsurance programs underwritten by Maiden Reinsurance Ltd. ("Maiden Reinsurance") which are in run-off, including the liabilities associated with AmTrust Financial Services, Inc. ("AmTrust") which we terminated in 2019 as discussed in "Note 10. Related Party Agreements" of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I Item 1. "Financial Information". In addition, we have a Loss Portfolio Transfer and Adverse Development Cover Agreement ("LPT/ADC Agreement") with Cavello Bay Reinsurance Limited ("Cavello") and a commutation agreement that further reduces our exposure to and limits the potential volatility related to our AmTrust liabilities in run-off, as discussed in "Note 8. Reinsurance" of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I Item 1. "Financial Information".
Short-term income protection business is presently written on a primary basis by our wholly owned subsidiaries Maiden Life Försäkrings AB ("Maiden LF") and Maiden General Försäkrings AB ("Maiden GF") in the Scandinavian and Northern European markets. Our wholly owned subsidiary, Maiden Global Holdings, Ltd. ("Maiden Global") is a licensed intermediary in the United Kingdom. Maiden Global had previously operated internationally by providing branded auto and credit life insurance products through insurer partners, particularly those in Europe and other global markets ("IIS business"). These products also produced reinsurance programs which were underwritten by our wholly owned subsidiary Maiden Reinsurance.
On May 3, 2024, Maiden LF and Maiden GF entered into a Renewal Rights and Asset Purchase Agreement with AmTrust Nordic AB, a Swedish unit of AmTrust Financial Services, Inc. ("AmTrust") which is expected to cover the majority of Maiden LF and Maiden GF's primary business written in Sweden, Norway and other Nordic countries. On June 20, 2024, Maiden LF and Maiden GF entered into an additional Renewal Rights and Asset Purchase Agreement with AmTrust Europe Limited ("AEL") and AmTrust International Underwriters DAC ("AIU DAC"), both wholly owned subsidiaries of AmTrust, which is expected to cover the majority of Maiden LF and Maiden GF's primary business written in the United Kingdom and Ireland. These agreements are collectively referred to as the "AmTrust Renewal Rights Agreements". Under these agreements, those AmTrust subsidiaries in collaboration with existing Maiden LF and Maiden GF distribution partners, will offer renewals to select policyholders in exchange for a fee at standard market terms for business successfully renewed.
These transactions are part of our broader plan to divest the IIS businesses as a result of our recently concluded strategic review of the IIS business platform. The purpose of that review was to evaluate the strategic value of Maiden LF and Maiden GF in relation to their ongoing growth and profitability prospects, regulatory capital requirements and ability to create shareholder value in excess of our target return on capital levels. As part of these conclusions, Maiden LF and Maiden GF are no longer writing new business and we expect to enter into additional transactions to either sell or wind-up Maiden GF and Maiden LF during 2024 and we are actively evaluating potential transactions currently.
Our business currently consists of two reportable segments: Diversified Reinsurance and AmTrust Reinsurance. Our Diversified Reinsurance segment consists of a portfolio of predominantly property and casualty reinsurance business focusing on regional and specialty property and casualty insurance companies located primarily in Europe. This segment also includes transactions entered into by GLS since November 2020. Our AmTrust Reinsurance segment includes all business ceded to Maiden Reinsurance by AmTrust, primarily the quota share reinsurance agreement (“AmTrust Quota Share”) between Maiden Reinsurance and AmTrust’s wholly owned subsidiary, AmTrust International Insurance, Ltd. (“AII”) and the European hospital liability quota share reinsurance contract ("European Hospital Liability Quota Share") with AmTrust’s wholly owned subsidiaries, AEL and AIU DAC, both of which are in run-off effective as of January 1, 2019.
Please refer to "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" section included under Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 that was filed on March 12, 2024 for further information on recent developments within the Company.
Business Strategy
We continued to deploy our revised operating strategy during 2024 which leverages the significant assets and capital we retain. In addition to restoring operating profitability, our strategic focus centers on creating the greatest risk-adjusted shareholder returns in order to increase book value for our common shareholders, both near and long-term. In that respect, management’s focus is to increase the non-GAAP book value of the Company, which fully reflects the steps we have taken to protect our balance sheet, primarily through our LPT/ADC Agreement with Cavello, as this represents the ultimate economic value of Maiden.
We also believe that these areas of strategic focus will enhance our profitability through increased returns, which should also increase the likelihood of fully utilizing the significant net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards as described further below which would increase both GAAP and non-GAAP book value and create additional common shareholder value. This strategy presently has two principal areas of focus:
•Asset management - investing in assets and asset classes in a prudent but expansive manner in order to maximize investment returns and is principally enabled by limiting the amount of insurance risk we assume in relation to the assets we hold and maintaining required regulatory capital at very strong levels to manage our aggregate risk profile; and
42
•Capital management - effectively managing the capital we hold on our balance sheet and when appropriate, repurchasing securities or returning capital to enhance common shareholder returns.
As our insurance liabilities run-off and these strategies potentially develop along timelines longer than initially anticipated, we may allocate capital to other insurance activities that produce more consistent levels of revenue and profit as we seek to create longer-term shareholder value.
As part of our ongoing strategic evaluation of both the insurance and reinsurance marketplace and the ability of both the fee-based, distribution and the reinsurance markets to increase our current income and improve our ability to utilize and recognize our deferred tax assets, we increasingly believe expansion of those strategies may be appropriate. We are actively exploring fee-based and distribution opportunities which are non-risk bearing and capital efficient and given ongoing changes in reinsurance markets, can be potentially complemented by limited and selective deployment of reinsurance capacity to supplement those activities and enhance returns to shareholders.
To date, we invested $9.5 million in insurance distribution platforms and these investments have achieved an internal rate of return of 24.7% and a multiple of capital of 1.69x on those investments.
Further, we have not engaged or pursued active reinsurance underwriting of new prospective risks as our assessment of the reinsurance marketplace along with our current operating profile has been that the risk-adjusted returns that may be produced via such underwriting are likely to be lower over the long-term than our cost of capital. However, as interest rates have increased and moved towards historically observed levels, risk-adjusted returns for active reinsurance underwriting of new prospective risks may become more attractive and while we have no immediate plans to resume such underwriting, we continue to evaluate if such a strategy, even on a limited basis, would produce suitable value for shareholders. While we do not expect to pursue such a strategy independently, such an approach could complement and enhance an approach to investing in and acquiring fee-based and distribution properties and strengthen those entities.
While our returns to date have not as yet achieved our objectives, we continue to believe the measures implemented in recent years have allowed us to more flexibly allocate capital to those activities most likely to produce the greatest returns for shareholders, and we are actively engaged in evaluating and deploying funds and adjusting our strategies as discussed herein.
The returns expected to be produced by each pillar of our strategy are primarily evaluated in relation to our cost of debt capital, which carries a weighted average effective interest rate of 7.6%. To the extent our experience or belief indicates we cannot exceed the cost of debt capital, we expect to refrain from activities in those areas, as evidenced in our decisions regarding legacy management.
Our ability to execute our asset and capital management initiatives is dependent on maintaining adequate levels of unrestricted liquidity and cash flows. Further, there can be no assurance that our insurance liabilities will run-off at levels that will permit further capital management activities, which we continually review as part of our strategy. Please refer to the "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section for further information on our asset and capital management activities.
Asset Management
As part of our expanded asset management activities, as noted we have evaluated and continue to consider investing in various initiatives in the insurance industry across a variety of segments which we believe will produce appropriate risk-adjusted returns while maintaining the option to consider underwriting activities in the future. We believe these expanded activities will produce a broad range of positive impacts on our financial condition, including current income, longer-term gains and in certain instances, fee income.
As of June 30, 2024, we have invested approximately $336.8 million into alternative investments which include equity securities, other investments and equity method investments in a wide variety of asset classes, and we believe these activities will exceed that benchmark cost of capital with adjustments as necessary if those returns do not emerge. Please refer to the "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section on "Other Investments, Equity Investments and Equity Method Investments" for further information on our alternative asset classes and a detailed discussion of their investment returns.
As noted, we are actively exploring fee-based and distribution opportunities which are non-risk bearing and capital efficient. As these strategic plans continue to develop, we may modify our approach to this aspect of our current strategy, including possibly reducing our investments and commitments to alternative investments.
Recent development and trends in financial markets, particularly the rapid rise in interest rates and associated economic uncertainty as a result of those changes, indicate that it may take longer than expected to achieve those returns and we expect that to factor into future capital allocation decisions. In particular, as interest rates have risen to more historically observed levels, we have focused on investing in assets that produce higher levels of current income as opposed to longer-term gains, in order to increase returns to shareholders and increase the opportunity to recognize our deferred tax assets discussed below.

Capital Management
Our capital management strategy is significantly informed by the required capital needed to operate our business in a prudent manner and our ongoing analysis of our loss development trends. Trends in recent years have increased our confidence in our recorded ultimate losses for our insurance liabilities in run-off, however a prudent assessment dictates that the run-off portfolio still requires additional maturity to fully emerge, as evidenced by the adverse loss development we have experienced in 2023 and 2024. While there is no assurance that prior positive long-term loss development trends will resume, as our insurance liabilities further mature we remain confident that we can continue the prudent and disciplined repurchase of both our common shares and senior notes which are authorized for repurchase, which we believe provided the greatest risk-adjusted returns to our common shareholders.
Please refer to "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 6 — Shareholders' Equity" under Item 8 "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for further information on the common shares issued as part of the exchange for preference shares held by Maiden Reinsurance and other preference shareholders in 2022 ("Exchange"). Completion of the Exchange represented a significant milestone in our capital management plan and we continue to evaluate other capital management options that may be available to us, including repurchase of the Company's common shares and senior notes from time to time at market prices or as may be privately negotiated as approved by our Board in its respective authorizations. The Company expects to deploy its capital management strategy on a long-term and disciplined basis, balanced along with its other strategic initiatives.
We note that recognition of the deferred tax asset on our balance sheet is a leading priority for the Company to increase its GAAP and non-GAAP book value and we will balance these considerations against opportunities to repurchase shares at what we believe are appropriate prices as we pursue our capital management initiatives.
Please refer to "Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) Note 6. Shareholders' Equity" included under Item 1. "Financial Statements" of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information on the recent repurchases made by Maiden Reinsurance during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. There can be no assurance that we will continue to pursue such capital management initiatives, or that they will provide appropriate risk-adjusted returns. As we revised our strategy in recent years, we continuously evaluate the effectiveness of those strategies in achieving its goals and have been and continue to be prepared to adjust those strategies as our performance dictates.
Legacy Underwriting
In November 2020, the Company formed GLS to specialize in providing a full range of legacy services to small insurance entities, particularly those in run-off or with blocks of reserves that are no longer core to those companies' operations, working with clients to develop and implement finality solutions including acquiring entire companies that enable our clients to meet their capital and risk management objectives.The goal of GLS was to acquire legacy liabilities and (re)insurance reserves from companies and provide retroactive reinsurance coverage for portfolios of (re)insurance business, primarily via loss portfolio transfer contracts (“LPT”). Additionally, GLS provided reinsurance contracts to other (re)insurers to mitigate some of their risk of future adverse development (an adverse development cover, or “ADC”) on insurance risks relating to prior accident years.
We believed the formation of GLS was highly complementary to our overall longer-term strategy and would produce risk-adjusted returns in excess of our debt cost of capital. However, GLS did not achieve either the volume or profitability expected and we concluded that the outlook would not change materially. At the time we formed GLS, we committed a certain level of capital to support this business which we have since fulfilled. After carefully evaluating the performance of this platform, ongoing market conditions, the competitive landscape and a variety of other factors, we have concluded that we will not commit additional capital to new accounts in this segment and will be running off the small number of accounts we underwrote since the formation of GLS. We presently do not anticipate any further contracts in the legacy management segment, and we no longer consider it part of our strategy to produce acceptable shareholder returns.
At June 30, 2024, GLS and its subsidiaries have total insurance related liabilities of $23.9 million which consisted of total loss reserves of $17.6 million, an underwriting-related derivative liability of $4.0 million, and net deferred gains on retroactive reinsurance of $2.3 million.
2024 Developments
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, our book value decreased by 4.0% to $2.38 per common share at June 30, 2024, and our non-GAAP book value decreased by 0.6% to $3.17 per common share at June 30, 2024. We made additional progress in the capital management pillar of our business strategy, repurchasing 747,561 and 1,099,672 common shares during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, our alternative investment portfolio increased by 9.0% and produced a positive net return of 4.6% on that portfolio during the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 3.7% for the same period in 2023. The annualized return is now above our average cost of capital despite numerous investments that continue to be carried at cost or net asset values that have yet to realize positive returns due to recent deployment. We believe our alternative investment portfolio remains well positioned to achieve its targeted longer-term returns. As interest rates have risen, we are increasingly focusing our investing activities on opportunities that will produce current income.
The run-off of our historic reinsurance programs produced an underwriting loss of $9.8 million and $17.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. Much of this was driven by adverse prior year reserve development of $6.8 million and $13.4 million for three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, which offset the positive progress made in our capital and asset management strategies. Approximately $5.6 million or 83.1% and $10.6 million or 79.7% of the total adverse prior year reserve development for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, is recoverable under the LPT/ADC Agreement and is expected to be recognized as future GAAP income over time as recoveries are received, including recoveries on Workers Compensation paid commuted amounts, under the provisions of the LPT/ADC Agreement and the applicable GAAP accounting rules.

Maiden Holdings North America ("Maiden NA")
We believe Maiden NA’s investments, including its ownership of Maiden Reinsurance and its active asset management strategy, will create opportunities to utilize NOL carryforwards of $338.2 million at June 30, 2024. Approximately $186.2 million of these NOL carryforwards expire in various years beginning in 2029. As of June 30, 2024, $152.0 million or 44.9% of the Company's NOL carryforwards have no expiry date under the relevant U.S. tax law. The NOL carryforwards combined with additional net deferred tax assets ("DTA") primarily related to our insurance liabilities result in net U.S. DTA (before valuation allowance) of $119.2 million or $1.19 per common share at June 30, 2024.
Net U.S. DTA of $119.2 million is not presently recognized on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets as a full valuation allowance is carried against it. At this time, while positive evidence in support of reducing the valuation allowance is growing, the Company believes it is necessary to maintain a full valuation allowance against the net U.S. DTA as more evidence is needed regarding the utilization of these losses. As circumstances further develop, we will continuously evaluate the amount of the valuation allowance held against the net U.S. DTA.
For further details please see "Note 13 — Income Taxes" included under Item 8 "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of the Annual Report on Form 10–K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Taken together, we believe these measures should generate additional income for Maiden NA in a tax-efficient manner, while sharing in the improvement in profitability anticipated in Maiden Reinsurance as a result of the measures enacted as described above.

Key Financial Measures
In addition to our key financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income, management uses certain non-GAAP financial 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. The calculation of these key financial measures including the reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to the nearest GAAP measure and relevant discussions are found within Item 2 - "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations". These non-GAAP financial measures are:
Non-GAAP operating earnings (loss) and non-GAAP diluted operating earnings (loss) per common share: Management believes that the use of non-GAAP operating earnings and non-GAAP diluted operating earnings per common share enables investors and other users of the Company’s financial information to analyze its performance in a manner similar to how management analyzes performance. Management also believes that these measures generally follow industry practice therefore allowing the users of financial information to compare the Company’s performance with its industry peer group, and that the equity analysts and certain rating agencies which follow the Company, and the insurance industry as a whole, generally exclude these items from their analyses for the same reasons. Non-GAAP operating earnings should not be viewed as a substitute for U.S. GAAP net income.
Non-GAAP operating earnings (loss) is an internal performance measure used by management as these measures focus on the underlying fundamentals of the Company's operations by excluding, on a recurring basis: (1) net realized investment gains (losses); (2) foreign exchange and other gains (losses); (3) the portion of favorable or unfavorable prior year reserve development for which we have ceded the risk under the LPT/ADC Agreement and related changes in amortization of the deferred gain liability; and (4) interest in income (loss) of equity method investments. We excluded net realized investment gains (losses), interest in income (loss) of equity method investments and foreign exchange and other gains (losses) as we believe these are influenced by market opportunities and other factors. We do not believe that ceded risks under the LPT/ADC Agreement are representative of our ongoing and future business which are different to retroactive reinsurance risks written by GLS that are representative of our ongoing and future business. We believe all of these amounts are substantially independent of our business and any potential future underwriting process, therefore including them would distort the analysis of underlying trends in our operations.
Underwriting income (loss) is a non-GAAP measure and is calculated as net premiums earned plus other insurance revenue less net loss and LAE, commission and other acquisition expenses and general and administrative expenses directly related to underwriting activities. For purposes of these non-GAAP operating measures, the fee-generating business which is included in our Diversified Reinsurance segment, is considered part of the underwriting operations of the Company. Management believes that this measure is important in evaluating the underwriting performance of the Company and its segments. This measure is also a useful tool to measure the profitability of the Company separately from the investment results and is also a widely used performance indicator in the insurance industry. A reconciliation of the Company's underwriting results can be found in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in the "Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) Note 3. Segment Information" included under Item 1. "Financial Statements" of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
The Company no longer presents certain non-GAAP measures such as combined ratio and its related components in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, as it believes that as the run-off of our reinsurance portfolios progresses, such ratios are increasingly not meaningful and of less value to readers as they evaluate the financial results of the Company, particularly compared to historical data.
While an important metric of success, underwriting income (loss) does not reflect all components of profitability, as it does not recognize the impact of investment income earned on premiums between the time premiums are received and the time loss payments are ultimately paid to clients. Because we do not manage our cash and investments by segment, investment income and interest expense are not allocated to the reportable segments. Certain general and administrative expenses are generally allocated to segments based on actual costs incurred.
Non-GAAP Operating Return on Average Adjusted Shareholders' Equity ("Non-GAAP Operating ROACE"): Management uses non-GAAP operating return on average adjusted shareholders' equity as a measure of profitability that focuses on the return to common shareholders. It is calculated using non-GAAP operating earnings (loss) available to common shareholders (as defined above) divided by average adjusted shareholders' equity.
Book Value per Common Share and Diluted Book Value per Common Share: Book value per common share and diluted book value per common share are non-GAAP measures. Management uses growth in both of these metrics as a prime measure of the value we are generating for our common shareholders, because management believes that growth in each metric ultimately results in growth in the Company’s common share price. These metrics are impacted by the Company’s net income and external factors, such as interest rates, which can drive changes in unrealized gains or losses on our fixed income investment portfolio, as well as common share repurchases.
Ratio of Debt to Total Capital Resources: Management uses this non-GAAP measure to monitor the financial leverage of the Company. This measure is calculated using the total principal amount of debt divided by the sum of total capital resources.
Non-GAAP underwriting income (loss) and Non-GAAP Net Loss and LAE: Management has further adjusted underwriting income (loss), as defined above, as well as reported net loss and LAE by excluding the portion of favorable or unfavorable prior year reserve development for which we have ceded the risk under retroactive reinsurance agreements such as the LPT/ADC Agreement. The losses are estimated to be fully recoverable from Cavello and management believes adjusting for this development shows the ultimate economic benefit of the LPT/ADC Agreement on our underwriting results.
47
We believe reflecting the economic benefit of this retroactive reinsurance agreement is helpful for understanding future trends in our operations.
Adjusted Total Shareholders' Equity, Adjusted Total Capital Resources, Ratio of Debt to Adjusted Total Capital Resources and Adjusted Book Value per Common Share: Management has adjusted GAAP shareholders' equity by adding to shareholders' equity the unamortized deferred gain on ceded retroactive reinsurance under the LPT/ADC Agreement to shareholders' equity. The deferred gain liability on retroactive reinsurance under the LPT/ADC Agreement represents loss reserves estimated to be fully recoverable from Cavello. The unamortized deferred gain on ceded retroactive reinsurance under the LPT/ADC Agreement includes the aggregate impact of: 1) cumulative increases to losses incurred prior to December 31, 2018 for which we have ceded the risk under the LPT/ADC Agreement; and 2) changes in estimated ultimate losses for certain workers' compensation reserves previously commuted by the Company to AmTrust which are subject to specific terms and conditions pursuant to the LPT/ADC Agreement.
As a result, by virtue of this adjustment, management has also adjusted Total Capital Resources and computed the Ratio of Debt to Adjusted Capital Resources and Adjusted Book Value per Common Share. We believe adjusting for this shows the ultimate economic benefit of the LPT/ADC Agreement and reflecting the economic benefit of this non-recurring retroactive reinsurance agreement is helpful to understand future trends in our operations, which will improve the Company's shareholders' equity over the settlement or contract periods, respectively.
Alternative investments is the total of the Company's holdings of equity securities, other investments and equity method investments as reported on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Net loss
Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $10.0 million compared to net loss of $2.9 million for the same respective period in 2023. The decrease in our financial results for the second quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2023 was primarily due to:
•an underwriting loss of $9.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to an underwriting loss of $9.3 million in the same period in 2023 largely due to:
•adverse prior year loss development ("PPD") of $6.8 million in the second quarter of 2024 compared to adverse PPD of $4.5 million during the same period in 2023, detailed as follows;
•Our AmTrust Reinsurance segment had adverse PPD of $5.2 million in the second quarter of 2024 compared to adverse PPD of $3.2 million for the second quarter of 2023. Of the total adverse PPD experienced in this segment for the second quarter of 2024, $5.6 million is recoverable under the LPT/ADC Agreement and will be recognized as future GAAP income over time as recoveries are received under provisions of the LPT/ADC Agreement and the applicable GAAP accounting rules.
•Our Diversified Reinsurance segment had adverse PPD of $1.6 million in the second quarter of 2024 compared to adverse PPD of $1.3 million for the second quarter of 2023.
•On a current accident year basis, underwriting loss was $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to an underwriting loss of $4.8 million for the same period in 2023.
•lower total income from investment activities of $9.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $16.5 million for the same period in 2023 which was comprised of:
•net investment income decreased to $7.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $10.5 million for the same period in 2023;
•realized and unrealized investment gains increased to $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to investment gains of $1.1 million for the same period in 2023; and
•interest in income of equity method investments of $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to an interest in income of $4.8 million for the same period in 2023.
49
•corporate general and administrative expenses increased to $4.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $2.9 million for the same period in 2023; and partly offset by:
•nominal foreign exchange and other gains for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to foreign exchange and other losses of $2.6 million for the same period in 2023.
Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $8.5 million compared to net loss of $14.3 million for the same period in 2023. The net increase in our financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 2023 was largely due to:
•underwriting loss of $17.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to an underwriting loss of $17.5 million for the same period in 2023 largely due to:
•adverse PPD of $13.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to adverse PPD of $8.2 million for the same period in 2023 detailed as follows:

Net Investment Income
Net investment income decreased by $3.6 million or 33.9% and $5.4 million or 27.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the same respective periods in 2023 largely due to lower interest income earned on our funds withheld balance with AmTrust as claim payments continued to be settled through the funds held receivable.
Annualized average book yields increased to 4.8% and 4.7% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to 4.2% and 4.0% for the same respective periods in 2023 due to the following factors:
•Floating rate investments comprise 50.5% of our fixed income investments as of June 30, 2024 which enabled the portfolio to respond to the higher interest rate environment more quickly;
•Loan to related party carried a higher weighted average interest rate on a balance of $168.0 million which increased to 7.3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to 7.0% and 6.7% for the same respective periods in 2023; partly offset by:
•Interest income on our funds withheld receivable decreased by $2.7 million and $5.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the same respective periods in 2023. This was the result of a lower average funds withheld balance with AmTrust of $69.1 million in the first half of 2024 compared to $351.8 million for the first half of 2023. Funds withheld receivable from AmTrust earned an annual interest rate of 3.5% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Average aggregate fixed income assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased by 41.2% and 39.8%, respectively, compared to the same respective periods for June 30, 2023 due to continued run-off of our reinsurance liabilities previously written on prospective risks primarily through the funds withheld receivable. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we experienced negative operating cash flows due to settlement of claim payments to AmTrust as we run-off our existing reinsurance liabilities in the AmTrust Reinsurance segment.

The cessation of active reinsurance underwriting on prospective risks included the termination of the AmTrust Quota Share and European Hospital Liability Quota Share effective January 1, 2019. The segment net loss development is discussed in greater detail in the individual segment discussion and analysis and is primarily associated with run-off of unearned premium for terminated reinsurance contracts in the AmTrust Reinsurance and Diversified Reinsurance segments.
Commission and Other Acquisition Expenses
Commission and other acquisition expenses decreased by $0.1 million or 2.7% and increased by $1.2 million or 13.4% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the same respective periods in 2023. The year-to-date movement was primarily due to lower earned premium adjustments in the AmTrust Reinsurance segment as negative premium adjustments in the first quarter of 2023 resulted in lower commission costs and brokerage fees. Total acquisition expenses decreased as a percentage of net premiums earned for both respective periods due to lower profit commissions incurred based on loss experience of certain programs. Please see further discussion in the individual segment analysis further below.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses include both segment and corporate expenses segregated for analytical purposes as a component of underwriting income. Total general and administrative expenses increased by $1.0 million or 15.2% and decreased by $1.0 million or 5.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the same respective periods in 2023. The year-to-date decline was mainly driven by lower incentive compensation costs relative to 2023.
Corporate expenses increased by $1.9 million and $0.2 million or the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 largely due to higher professional, audit and legal fees.
Total general and administrative expenses included lower stock-based awards which were $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $1.1 million for the same period in 2023. General and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were comprised of:

Excluding expenses related to the Company’s IIS business, which is no longer writing new business and has entered into the AmTrust Renewal Rights Agreements, total general and administrative expenses increased 22.4% to $6.5 million and decreased 4.7% to $13.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to $5.3 million and $13.9 million for the same respective periods in 2023 primarily due to higher professional, audit and legal fees for the quarter-to-date period and lower incentive compensation costs for the year-to-date period.
Interest and Amortization Expenses
Total interest and amortization expenses related to outstanding senior notes issued by Maiden Holdings in 2016 and Maiden NA in 2013 ("Senior Notes") were $4.8 million and $9.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to $4.8 million and $8.6 million for the same respective periods in 2023. This included interest expense incurred on the Senior Notes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 of $4.8 million and $9.6 million, respectively.
The issuance costs related to the Senior Notes were capitalized and are amortized over their effective life using the effective interest method of amortization. Due to a change in the amortization method for the 2013 Senior Notes in the prior year period, amortization expenses were $39.0 thousand and $0.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to amortization expense of $37.0 thousand and income of $0.9 million for the same respective periods in 2023.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company realized a gain of $39.9 thousand due to the partial repurchase of the 2013 Senior Notes which was offset against total interest and amortization expenses discussed above.
Please refer to "Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) Note 7. Long Term Debt" for further details on the Senior Notes. The weighted average effective interest rate for the Senior Notes was 7.6% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Foreign Exchange and Other Gains (Losses)
Net foreign exchange and other gains of $2.1 million were realized during the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to net foreign exchange and other losses of $2.6 million and $5.4 million for the same respective periods in 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, net foreign exchange gains of $2.1 million were attributable to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar on the re-measurement of net loss reserves and insurance related liabilities denominated in the British pound and euro.
Net foreign exchange losses of $2.6 million and $4.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 respectively, were attributable to the weakening of the U.S. dollar on the re-measurement of net loss reserves and insurance related liabilities denominated in British pound and euro.
Foreign currency fluctuations are primarily driven by exposures to euro, British pound and other non-USD denominated net loss reserves and insurance related liabilities in excess of foreign currency assets. Our non-USD denominated liabilities at June 30, 2024 included net loss reserves of $262.2 million. Our foreign currency asset exposures at June 30, 2024 included $151.3 million of fixed maturity securities managed by our investment managers who have the discretion to hold foreign currency exposures as part of their total return strategy, $29.3 million of equity method real estate investments denominated in Canadian dollars, as well as $14.5 million of funds withheld receivable.

As discussed in the "Overview" section, Maiden LF and Maiden GF are no longer writing new business and have entered into the AmTrust Renewal Rights Transactions which are expected to cover the majority of Maiden LF and Maiden GF's primary business written in Sweden, Norway, other Nordic countries, the United Kingdom and Ireland. As a result, Maiden LF and Maiden GF should begin to experience declines in premium written during the second half of 2024.
Gross premiums written increased by $1.8 million or 27.7% and $3.8 million, or 28.3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the same respective periods in 2023.

Net Loss and LAE — Net loss and LAE increased by $1.5 million and $1.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the same respective periods in 2023 primarily due to adverse prior year loss development in International and other runoff business lines.

The net adverse PPD for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily from International and other runoff business lines. The adverse PPD for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was due to International and facultative runoff lines partly offset by favorable development in GLS business.
The net adverse development for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily from an Australian Warranty program and a German Auto program in run-off from our International unit along with development from other runoff business lines and included the recognition of expected credit losses on reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses.
Commission and Other Acquisition Expenses — Commission and other acquisition expenses decreased by $0.2 million or 6.3% and increased by $0.4 million or 5.8% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the same respective periods in 2023. The year-to-date movement was due to growth in new Credit Life programs written by Maiden LF and GF.

General and Administrative Expenses — General and administrative expenses decreased by $0.7 million or 22.9% and $1.2 million or 21.2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the same respective periods in 2023 largely due to lower staff incentive compensation.

Net Loss and LAE — Net loss and LAE increased by $0.9 million and $3.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the same respective periods in 2023. The movement was driven by higher adverse PPD under the AmTrust Quota Share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and the European Hospital Liability Quota Share for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Net adverse PPD was $5.2 million and $12.5 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to net adverse development of $3.2 million and $6.1 million for the same respective periods in 2023, incurred primarily within the AmTrust Quota Share and European Hospital Liability Quota Share.

The table below shows PPD for the AmTrust Reinsurance segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:
For the Three Months Ended June 30, For the Six Months Ended June 30,
  2024 2023 2024 2023

Total AmTrust Prior Year Development $ 5,243  $ 3,177  $ 12,461  $ 6,076 
Net adverse PPD for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to the AmTrust Quota Share contract, with European Hospital Liability also producing significant adverse loss development. In the AmTrust Quota Share, U.S. Program business experienced continuing adverse development from construction defect coverage for accident years 2015 to 2018 as new claims emergence reported by AmTrust was again far greater than expected; this was partly offset by continued favorable development within Workers Compensation business for accident years 2014 to 2017. Net adverse loss development on European Hospital Liability Quota Share was primarily driven by emergence of loss data from adverse claim verdicts on older claims prior to 2014, resulting in strengthening of loss development tail on underwriting years 2011 to 2014. Net adverse PPD for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily due to General Liability and Commercial Auto Liability partly offset by continued favorable development in Workers Compensation.
As of June 30, 2024, the reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses under the LPT/ADC Agreement was $523.0 million. The LPT/ADC Agreement provides Maiden Reinsurance with $155.0 million in adverse PPD cover over its carried AmTrust Quota Share loss reserves at December 31, 2018. The reinsurance recoverable includes the deferred gain liability under the LPT/ADC Agreement of $78.2 million. At June 30, 2024, there was $76.8 million remaining in available coverage under the LPT/ADC Agreement.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, $5.6 million and $10.6 million (2023: $10.7 million and $12.3 million) of total adverse PPD from the AmTrust Quota Share reported in the table above, respectively, are recoverable under the LPT/ADC Agreement that is expected to be recognized as future GAAP income over time as recoveries are received subject to the provisions of the LPT/ADC Agreement and the applicable GAAP accounting rules. To the extent recent adverse loss development in European Hospital Liability continues, the European Hospital Liability Quota Share may have a more significant negative impact on our results than the AmTrust Quota Share, in particular once recoveries from the LPT/ADC Agreement commence and are recognized as GAAP income pursuant to the applicable GAAP accounting rules.
Commission and Other Acquisition Expenses — Commission and other acquisition expenses increased by $0.1 million and $0.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the same respective periods in 2023 driven by lower earned premium adjustments in the AmTrust Reinsurance segment as negative premium adjustments in the first quarter of 2023 resulted in lower commission costs and brokerage fees, partially offset by higher earned premiums in Specialty Risk and Extended Warranty programs.
Total acquisition costs increased as a percentage of net premiums earned for both respective periods due to the amortization of deferred acquisition costs upon the recognition of a premium deficiency of $0.1 million in the AmTrust Reinsurance segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.
General and Administrative Expenses — General and administrative expenses decreased by $0.1 million and $31.0 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the same respective periods in 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
Maiden Holdings is a holding company and transacts no business of its own. We therefore rely on cash flows in the form of dividends, advances, loans and other permitted distributions from our subsidiary companies to pay expenses and make dividend payments on our common shares. The jurisdictions in which our operating subsidiaries are licensed to write business impose regulations requiring companies to maintain or meet statutory solvency and liquidity requirements and also place restrictions on the declaration and payment of dividends and other distributions.
As of June 30, 2024, the Company had investable assets of $794.2 million compared to $914.3 million as of December 31, 2023. Investable assets include the combined total of our investments, cash and restricted cash including cash equivalents, loan to a related party and funds withheld receivable. Our investable assets decreased by $120.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 due to the continued run-off of our reinsurance portfolio liabilities as claim payments were settled from the funds withheld receivable, which decreased by $111.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024.
The regulatory and liquidity requirements of the Company's operating segments are discussed in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" section included under Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10- K for the year ended December 31, 2023, that was filed with the SEC on March 12, 2024.
Maiden Reinsurance re-domesticated from Bermuda to Vermont on March 16, 2020. We continue to be actively engaged with the Vermont Department of Financial Regulation ("Vermont DFR") regarding Maiden Reinsurance's longer term business plan, including its investment policy, changes to which require prior regulatory approval as stipulated by Vermont law or the Vermont DFR for any active underwriting, capital management or other strategic initiatives. Maiden Reinsurance has received all necessary approvals required to date by the Vermont DFR, including its activities via GLS and its investment policy which includes: 1) the expansion of approved asset classes for investment reflecting not only Maiden Reinsurance’s solvency position but the material reduction in required capital necessary to operate its business; and 2) the purchase of affiliated securities as demonstrated in previous preference share tender offers and the Exchange. The Investment Policy, as approved and as amended, maintains our established investment management and governance practices.
In 2023 and 2024, the Vermont DFR approved an annual dividend program to be paid by Maiden Reinsurance to Maiden NA, with notification to the Vermont DFR as dividends are paid. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, Maiden Reinsurance paid dividends of $12.5 million to Maiden NA (2023: $12.5 million). During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, Maiden NA did not pay any dividends to Maiden Holdings.
We may experience continued volatility in our results of operations which could negatively impact our financial condition and create a reduction in the amount of available distribution or dividend capacity from our regulated reinsurance subsidiaries, which would also reduce liquidity. Further, we and our insurance subsidiaries may need additional capital to maintain compliance with regulatory capital requirements and/or be required to post additional collateral under existing reinsurance arrangements, which could reduce our liquidity.
Operating, investing and financing cash flows
Our sources of funds historically have consisted of premium receipts net of commissions and brokerage, investment income, net proceeds from capital raising activities, and proceeds from sales, maturities, pay downs and redemption of investments. Cash is currently used primarily to pay loss and LAE, ceded reinsurance premium, general and administrative expenses, and interest expense, with the remainder in excess of our operating requirements made available to our investment managers for investment in accordance with our investment policy as well as for capital management such as repurchasing our shares.
Our business has undergone significant changes since 2018. As previously noted, we engaged in a series of transactions that have materially reduced our balance sheet risk and transformed our operations. As a result of these transactions, we are not presently engaged in any active underwriting of new prospective reinsurance business thus our net premiums written will continue to be materially lower and investment income will become a significantly larger portion of our total revenues. We have not written any new retroactive risks through GLS since December 30, 2022, and this will be smaller in relation to the run-off of our prior reinsurance business. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we experienced negative operating cash flows as we run off the AmTrust Reinsurance segment reserves as shown in the cash flows table further below.
We currently expect a trend of positive investing cash flows through 2024, and we expect to use funds from cash and investment portfolios, collected premiums on reinsurance contracts in force or being run-off, investment income and proceeds from investment sales and redemptions to meet our expected claims payments and operational expenses. Claim payments will be principally from the run-off of existing reserves for loss and LAE. A significant portion of those liabilities are collateralized and claim payments will be funded by using this collateral which should provide sufficient funding to fulfill those obligations.
The Company’s management believes our current sources of liquidity are adequate to meet its cash requirements for the next twelve months as we generally expect operating cash flows to be sufficiently offset by investing cash flows. While we continue to expect our cash flows to be sufficient to meet our cash requirements and to operate our business, our ability to execute our asset and capital management initiatives are dependent on maintaining adequate levels of unrestricted liquidity and cash flows. Our expanded asset management strategy can be impacted by both investment specific and broader financial market conditions and may not produce the expected liquidity and cash flows these investments are designed to achieve, or the timing thereof may also be impacted by those factors.

58
At June 30, 2024, unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and fixed maturity investments were $52.3 million compared to $73.4 million held at December 31, 2023, a decrease of $21.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024. This was primarily driven by $9.6 million for interest payments on the Senior Notes, $16.1 million of net purchases for alternative investments including equity method investments, $2.5 million for common share repurchases made under the Company's authorized repurchase plan and employee tax obligations on vesting of restricted shares as well as payments for general operating expenses of $15.9 million, partly offset by $15.3 million of collateral released by AmTrust through the funds withheld receivable during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Please see the related discussion on investing and financing cash flows below. The table below summarizes our operating, investing and financing cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

Cash Flows used in Operating Activities
Cash flows used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $15.3 million compared to cash flows used in operating activities of $63.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Operating cash flows were driven by funds withheld receivable which was primarily used for settlement of claim payments to AmTrust in the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
Cash Flows provided by Investing Activities
Cash flows provided by investing activities consist primarily of proceeds from sales and maturities of investments net of purchases. Net cash provided by investing activities was $12.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $45.2 million for the same period in 2023.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the proceeds from the sales, maturities and calls exceeded the purchases of fixed maturity securities by $29.1 million compared to net proceeds of $34.2 million for the same period in 2023. The size of the fixed income investment portfolio will diminish as claims payments are made for the runoff of existing loss reserves for the terminated AmTrust Quota Share and the European Hospital Liability Quota Share contracts.
Cash flows provided by investing activities for six months ended June 30, 2024 also included purchases of alternative investments which exceeded proceeds from the sales and redemptions. There were net purchases of $16.1 million for alternative investments including equity method investments during the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to net proceeds from the sale and redemption of alternative investments of $11.0 million for the same period in 2023.
Cash Flows used in Financing Activities
Cash flows used in financing activities were $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $0.9 million for the same period in 2023. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company repurchased 1,099,672 common shares at an average price of $2.06 per share for $2.3 million used under the Company's authorized common share repurchase plan.
No dividends on common shares were paid during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. Our Board of Directors have not declared any common share dividends since the third quarter of 2018.
Restrictions, Collateral and Specific Requirements
The Company's restrictions, collateral and specific requirements are discussed in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" section included under Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, that was filed with the SEC on March 12, 2024. Please also refer to "Part I, Item 1 - Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) "Note 4.(e) Restricted Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments" included in this Form 10-Q for details of the fair values of restricted assets at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, restricted cash and cash equivalents and fixed maturity investments used as collateral were $204.5 million and $219.9 million, respectively. This collateral represents 79.6% and 75.0% of the fair value of total fixed maturity investments, cash, restricted cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Cash and Investments
Historically, the investment of our funds had generally been designed to ensure safety of principal while generating current income. Accordingly, our fixed income investment portfolio is invested in liquid, investment-grade fixed maturity securities which are all designated as AFS at June 30, 2024. Further, as our insurance liabilities continue to run-off and the required capital to operate our business for regulatory purposes decreases, we expanded Maiden Reinsurance’s investment policy which has been approved by the Vermont DFR. Under this modified investment policy, we expanded the range of asset classes we invest in to enhance the income and total returns our investment portfolio produces. We categorize these investments as alternative investments which include "Other Investments", "Equity Securities", and "Equity Method Investments" on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our cash and investments consisted of:
  June 30, 2024 December 31, 2023
  ($ in thousands)
Fixed maturities, available-for-sale, at fair value $ 219,541  $ 250,601

Total Investments and Cash and Cash Equivalents $ 593,640  $ 602,318 
In addition to the discussion on Cash and Cash Equivalents and Fixed Maturities that follows herein, please see the "Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) Note 4. Investments" included under Part I Item 1 "Financial Information" of this Form 10-Q for further discussion on our AFS fixed income securities.
Under this revised investment policy, we increased the amount of alternative investments held, and we presently expect to continue to increase the amounts invested therein. Under our investment policy, alternative investments could include, but are not limited to, privately held investments, private equities, private credit lending funds, fixed-income funds, hedge funds, equity funds, real estate (including joint ventures and limited partnerships) and other non-fixed-income investments. However, as our strategic plans continue to develop, we may modify our approach to this investment policy, including possibly reducing our investments and commitments to alternative investments under this policy.
For further details on our alternative investments, in addition to the discussion of the investments herein, please see "Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) Note 4(b). Other Investments, Equity Securities and Equity Method Investments" included under Part I Item 1 "Financial Information" of this Form 10-Q.
Our investment performance is subject to a variety of risks, including risks related to general economic conditions, market volatility, interest rate fluctuations, foreign exchange risk, liquidity risk and credit and default risk. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary policies, domestic and international economic and political conditions and other factors beyond our control. An increase in interest rates could result in significant losses, realized or unrealized, in the value of our investment portfolio. A portion of our portfolio consists of alternative investments that subject us to restrictions on redemption, which may limit our ability to withdraw funds for some period of time after the initial investment. The values of, and returns on, such investments may also be more volatile.
We believe our other investments, equity securities and equity method investments portfolio provides diversification against our fixed-income investments and an opportunity for improved risk-adjusted return, however, the returns of these investments may be more volatile and we may experience significant unrealized gains or losses in any particular quarter or year. While we believe the returns produced by these investments will exceed our cost of capital, in particular our cost of debt capital, it is too soon to determine if the actual returns will achieve this objective and it may be an extended period of time before that determination can be made.
We may utilize and pay fees to various companies to provide investment advisory and/or management services related to these investments. These fees, which would be predominantly based upon the amount of assets under management, would be included in net investment income. In addition, costs associated with evaluating, analyzing and monitoring these investments may require additional expenditures than traditional marketable securities.
The substantial majority of our current and future investments are held by Maiden Reinsurance, whose investment policy was approved by the Vermont DFR. Prior to the Exchange, the Company cumulatively invested $176.4 million in preference shares of Maiden Holdings which have since been extinguished and exchanged for 41,439,348 common shares of the Company pursuant to the Exchange. As a result of the Exchange, there are no preference shares outstanding.
As of June 30, 2024, Maiden Reinsurance owns 30.6% of the Company's total outstanding common shares which is eliminated for accounting and financial reporting purposes on our condensed consolidated financial statements. The voting power of Maiden Reinsurance, with respect to its common shares, is capped at 9.5% pursuant to the bye-laws of the Company. Treasury shares include 43,978,595 common shares owned by Maiden Reinsurance consisting of 41,439,348 shares issued as part of the Exchange in 2022 and 2,539,247 common shares that were directly purchased on the open market by Maiden Reinsurance under the Company's authorized repurchase plan to date.
60
The market value of our common shares held by Maiden Reinsurance due to the Exchange and common share repurchases was $90.6 million at June 30, 2024.
Cash & Cash Equivalents
At June 30, 2024, we consider the levels of cash and cash equivalents held to be within our targeted ranges. During periods when interest rates experience greater volatility, we have periodically maintained more cash and cash equivalents to better assess current market conditions and opportunities within our defined risk appetite, and may do so in future periods.
Fixed Maturity Investments
The average yield and average duration of our fixed maturities, by asset class, and our cash and cash equivalents (restricted and unrestricted) are as follows at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury bond increased by 48 basis points to 4.36%. The 10-year U.S. Treasury rate is the key risk-free determinant in the fair value of many of the fixed maturity securities in our portfolio. Despite the increase in risk-free rates during the six months ended June 30, 2024, the change in the market values of our fixed maturity investment portfolio generated net unrealized gains of $1.5 million which increased our book value per common share by $0.02 during the period, largely the result of tightening spreads on collateralized loan obligations. Current outlooks for global monetary policy indicate that quantitative tightening by central banks in the U.S. and globally appear likely to moderate in the near to intermediate term, although central banks have indicated that they maintain the option to either adopt a neutral stance or apply further tightening should data dictate such actions, particularly inflation and labor market data. Recent data suggest that delays in the anticipated moderation of global monetary policy may be ending in the near-term. Our investment portfolios, in particular our fixed maturity portfolio, may be adversely impacted by unfavorable market conditions caused by these measures, which could cause continued volatility in our results of operations and negatively impact our financial condition.
Interest rate risk is the price sensitivity of a security to changes in interest rates. Credit spread risk is the price sensitivity of a security to changes in credit spreads. As noted, the fair value of our fixed maturity investments will fluctuate with changes in interest rates and credit spreads. We attempt to maintain adequate liquidity in our fixed maturity investments portfolio with a strategy designed to emphasize the preservation of our invested assets and provide sufficient liquidity for the prompt payment of claims and contract liabilities. Because we collateralize a significant portion of our insurance liabilities, unanticipated or large increases in interest rates could require us to utilize significant amounts of unrestricted cash and fixed maturity securities to provide additional collateral, which could impact our asset and capital management strategy described herein.

61
We also monitor the duration and structure of our investment portfolio as discussed below. As of June 30, 2024, the aggregate hypothetical change in fair value from an immediate 100 basis points increase in interest rates, assuming credit spreads remain constant, in our fixed maturity investments portfolio would decrease the fair value of that portfolio by $4.5 million. Actual shifts in interest rates may not change by the same magnitude across the maturity spectrum or on an individual security and, as a result, the impact on the fair value of our fixed maturity securities may be materially different from the resulting change in value described above.
To limit our exposure to unexpected interest rate increases which would reduce the value of our fixed income securities and reduce our shareholders' equity, we attempt to maintain the duration of our fixed maturity investment portfolio combined with our cash and cash equivalents, both restricted and unrestricted, within a reasonable range of the duration of our loss reserves. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, these respective durations in years were as follows:
June 30, 2024 December 31, 2023
Fixed maturities and cash and cash equivalents
 1.2 1.2
Reserve for loss and LAE - gross of LPT/ADC Agreement reserves 6.0 5.8
Reserve for loss and LAE - net of LPT/ADC Agreement reserves 2.9 1.6
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the weighted average duration of our fixed maturity investment portfolio remained at 1.2 years while the duration for the gross reserve for loss and LAE increased by 0.2 years to 6.0 years. The differential in duration between these assets and liabilities may fluctuate over time and in the case of fixed maturities, historically has been affected by factors such as market conditions, changes in asset mix and prepayment speeds in the case of both our U.S. agency mortgage-backed securities ("Agency MBS") and commercial mortgage-backed securities held. At June 30, 2024, the duration of our loss reserves net of the LPT/ADC Agreement was higher than the duration of our fixed maturity investment portfolio.
To limit our exposure to unexpected interest rate increases that could reduce the value of our fixed maturity securities and reduce our shareholders' equity, the Company holds floating rate securities whose fair values are less sensitive to interest rates. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 50.5% and 40.8%, respectively, of our fixed income investments were comprised of floating rate securities which are detailed in the table below:

At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 100.0% of the Company’s U.S. agency bond holdings are mortgage-backed. Total U.S. agency MBS comprise 11.4% of our fixed maturity investment portfolio at June 30, 2024. Given their relative size to our total investments, if faster prepayment patterns were to occur over an extended period of time, this could potentially limit the growth in our investment income in certain circumstances or reduce the total amount of investment income we earn. Additional details on our U.S. Agency MBS holdings at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were as follows:

For further details on these alternative investments, see "Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements: Note 4(b) Other Investments, Equity Securities and Equity Method Investments" included under Part I Item 1. "Financial Information" of this Report on Form 10-Q. Within these asset classes, our portfolio broadly consists of the following types of investments:
•Private Equity – this asset class consists of both fund investments with leading private equity sponsors and direct equity investments in private companies, sometimes in conjunction with our private equity fund sponsors. As of June 30, 2024, $26.8 million or 27.9% of investments in the private equity asset class consisted of investments in private equity funds and $69.1 million or 72.1% consisted of direct equity investments in private companies.
•Private Credit - this asset class consists of both fund investments with leading private credit sponsors and direct credit investments in private companies, sometimes in conjunction with our private credit fund sponsors. Private credit investments in both funds and on a direct basis will typically be secured lending arrangements with non-rated entities, often with additional protective provisions to enhance the security and returns of these investments. As of June 30, 2024, $52.4 million or 93.5% of investments in the private credit asset class consisted of investments in private credit funds and $3.6 million or 6.5% consisted of direct investments in debt securities of private companies.
•Alternatives – this asset class consists of structured financing arrangements which typically have incentive features to enhance the Company’s returns. As part of these arrangements, the Company requires collateral or bankruptcy-remote structures to protect its investments. As of June 30, 2024, $100.5 million or 98.5% of investments in the alternatives asset class were direct investments and $1.5 million or 1.5% of the alternatives asset class were invested in funds. One investment in a collateralized direct lending entity of $77.6 million represents 76.1% of this asset class and is discussed further in "Note 4 — Investments" included in Part I Item 1. "Financial Information" in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
•Venture Capital – this asset class consists of both fund investments with venture capital firms focused primarily on “insurtech” or “fintech” early-stage investments as well as direct investments in start-up companies in this sector, including equity investments in individual companies made in conjunction with our venture capital fund sponsors. As of June 30, 2024, $8.3 million or 36.9% of investments in the venture capital asset class consisted of investments in funds and $14.2 million or 63.1% consisted of direct equity investments in start-up companies. As of June 30, 2024, $13.4 million or 59.3% of our venture capital investments were invested in funds or companies that would be considered “insurtech” investments.
•Real Estate – this asset class consists of long-term equity investments in three real estate projects. Two are multi-family residential development projects near major urban centers where workforce housing demand continues to be strong. One investment is a minority stake as a limited partner with a leading property developer with a highly successful track record, where the Company will earn returns from both operating income from rentals and future sales of properties. As of June 30, 2024, the Company has $25.0 million invested in this project and expects investment returns to commence in earnest in 2026 and beyond. The second multi-family residential investment is a majority stake with general partner rights wherein the Company is providing the capital backing to an experienced and successful developer in the subject market, while also taking minority equity stakes in individual projects. To date, this development project has secured five properties in attractive locations and is currently in the zoning and planning stages. As of June 30, 2024, the Company has $29.3 million invested in this project and has commenced earning limited amounts of fee income from this project. As part of its investment, the Company has also provided certain loan guarantees which are discussed in more detail in Note 11 — Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees included in Part I Item 1. "Financial Information". We expect fee and operating income and gains from future sales of properties to commence in earnest in 2027 and beyond. Finally, the Company has a minority equity stake in an iconic office building in a major city in the U.S., with an attractive and growing tenant roll. As of June 30, 2024, the Company has $5.9 million invested in this project and to date has earned preferred returns and received certain distributions. In addition to preferred returns, the Company expects to receive future distributions of operating income from this investment.
Certain of the Company's investments in limited partnerships are related to real estate joint ventures with interests in multi-property projects with varying strategies ranging from the development of properties to the ownership of income-producing properties. In certain of these joint ventures, the Company has provided certain indemnities, guarantees and commitments to certain parties such that it may be required to make payments now or in the future. For further details on these financial guarantees, please see "Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements: Note 11 - Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees" included under Part I Item 1. "Financial Information" of this Report on Form 10-Q.

Investment Results
Our investment portfolio returns decreased to $9.9 million and $26.9 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to $16.5 million and $27.0 million for the same respective periods in 2023 largely due to lower interest income earned on our funds withheld balance with AmTrust as claim payments continued to be settled through the funds held receivable. This was offset by a combination of higher yields on certain fixed income assets along with strengthening returns on our alternative investment portfolio, which increased by 9.0% during 2024, and produced a positive net return of 4.6% during 2024 compared to 3.7% in 2023.

Net Investment Returns 1.3  % 1.1  % 2.6  % 2.2  %
Our net investment returns increased to 1.3% and 2.6% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to 1.1% and 2.2% for the same respective periods in 2023. This was largely due to floating rate investments that comprised 50.5% of our fixed income investments at June 30, 2024 which enabled the portfolio to respond to the higher interest rate environment more quickly. The loan to related party carried a higher weighted average interest rate on a balance of $168.0 million which increased to 7.3% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to 7.0% and 6.7% for the same respective periods in 2023. This was partly offset by lower interest income on the funds withheld receivable from AmTrust which decreased due to a much lower average ending balance of $69.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to an average balance of $351.8 million for the same respective period in 2023 as claims payments are made using the funds withheld receivable for the runoff of existing loss reserves for the terminated AmTrust Quota Share and the European Hospital Liability Quota Share contracts.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, private equity investments produced a total investment return of $8.7 million with fund investments earning $1.0 million while direct investments produced a total investment return of $7.7 million. Inception to date, private equity investments have produced an internal rate of return of 10.8% and a multiple on invested capital of 1.32; fund investments produced an internal rate of return of 11.6% and a multiple on invested capital of 1.29, and direct investments have produced an internal rate of return of 10.2% and a multiple on invested capital of 1.33. No realized gains on private equity investments have been recognized through June 30, 2024.

•Private Credit – investment returns in this asset class reflect both distributions received as well as unrealized gains or losses from adjustments to net asset values in the case of fund investments and market value adjustments in the case of direct equity investments. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, private credit investments produced a total investment return of $4.5 million with fund investments earning $4.3 million while direct investments produced a total investment return of $0.2 million. Inception to date, private credit investments have produced an internal rate of return of 8.0% and a multiple on invested capital of 1.15, with fund investments producing an internal rate of return of 7.9% and a multiple on invested capital of 1.15, while direct investments have produced an internal rate of return of 11.2% and a multiple on invested capital of 1.14.
•Alternative Assets – investment returns in this asset class largely relate to equity method recognition of income from structured financing arrangements in real assets which utilize bankruptcy-remote structures to protect these investments. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, alternative investments produced a total investment return of $1.4 million. Inception to date, alternative direct investments on real assets have produced an internal rate of return of 38.0% and a multiple on invested capital of 1.44; in total, alternative fund investments have produced an internal rate of return of (11.1)% and a multiple on invested capital of 0.90. We have not recognized any returns (including contractual preferred returns) on other alternative investments as the underlying collateralized investment supporting this direct lending initiative continues to develop; these investments represent 76.1% of the alternative investment class at June 30, 2024. We expect to recognize our preferred returns and contingency gains as these investment develops further or if other collateral we have secured as part of our investment responds sooner, subject to certain conditions.
•Venture Capital – investment returns in this asset class primarily reflect unrealized gains or losses from adjustments to net asset values in the case of fund investments and market value adjustments in the case of direct equity investments. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, our venture capital investments produced a total return of $0.7 million entirely from our fund investments. Inception to date, venture capital investments have produced an internal rate of return of 8.3% and a multiple on invested capital of 1.20; venture capital fund investments have produced an internal rate of return of (10.5)% and a multiple on invested capital of 0.82, while direct venture capital investments have produced an internal rate of return of 13.6% and a multiple on invested capital of 1.45. Through June 30, 2024, we realized total gains of $4.8 million on the sale of the Company’s stake in Betterview Marketplace, Inc. ("Betterview") in a cash and stock transaction with Nearmap US, Inc. ("Nearmap"). We now continue to hold shares in Nearmap after completion of this transaction. To date our investment in Betterview has produced an internal rate of return of 27.2% and a multiple on invested capital of 1.74.
•Real Estate – investment returns in this asset class include preferred returns and distributions (if any) from plan developers along with limited unrealized gains or losses to date as two of the projects remain in the development phase. As noted earlier, the Company does not expect significant investment returns from these attractive projects for the next several years. To date these investments have produced an internal rate of return of (2.5)% and a multiple on invested capital of 0.96.
As our returns in alternative investments continues to increase, we believe our alternative investment portfolio remains well positioned to achieve its targeted longer-term returns.
Other Balance Sheet Changes
The following table summarizes our other material balance sheet changes at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:
($ in thousands) June 30, 2024 December 31, 2023 Change in $ Change %
Deferred commission and other acquisition expenses
 $ 14,435  $ 17,566  $ (3,131) (17.8) %
Funds withheld receivable
 32,592  143,985  (111,393) (77.4) %
Reserve for loss and LAE

Unearned premiums

Deferred gain on retroactive reinsurance
 80,506  73,240  7,266  9.9  %
The Company's deferred commission and other acquisition expenses decreased by 17.8% and unearned premiums decreased by 17.0% primarily due to the termination of the remaining business under both quota share contracts with AmTrust which have been in run-off since January 1, 2019. Funds withheld receivable decreased by 77.4% primarily due to settlement of reinsurance losses payable under the AmTrust Quota Share as well as $15.3 million of excess collateral released by AmTrust during the six months ended June 30, 2024. The funds withheld receivable balance is likely to be exhausted during the third quarter 2024.
The Company's reserve for loss and LAE decreased by 12.1% primarily due to continued settlement of loss reserves for AmTrust Reinsurance contracts. The deferred gain on retroactive reinsurance increased by $7.3 million or 9.9% compared to December 31, 2023 driven by net adverse reserve development of $10.1 million reported for policies under the AmTrust Quota Share as these losses are largely covered by the LPT/ADC Agreement with Cavello. The adverse development was adjusted to remove the impact of favorable loss development on certain Workers Compensation losses that were commuted to AmTrust in 2019 that inure to the benefit of Cavello under the terms of the LPT/ADC Agreement and reduced the deferred gain liability on retroactive reinsurance by $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Capital Resources
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, book value per common share decreased by 4.0% to $2.38 and diluted book value per common share decreased by 4.9% to $2.34, compared to December 31, 2023. This was largely due to lower capital resources which decreased by $11.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Capital resources consist of funds deployed in support of our operations. The following table shows the movement in our capital resources at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

 $ 500,407  $ 511,521  $ (11,114) (2.2) %
Total capital resources decreased by $11.1 million compared to December 31, 2023 due to the following items:
•net increase in additional paid-in capital of $0.9 million due to share-based compensation of $0.9 million;
•net decrease in AOCI of $1.0 million which arose due to: (1) net unrealized gains on investment of $1.5 million mainly from our AFS bond portfolio relating to market price movements in the six months ended June 30, 2024, offset by (2) a decrease in foreign currency translation adjustment of $2.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024 due to the impact of the U.S. dollar appreciation on the re-measurement of net assets denominated in British pound and euro;
•accumulated deficit increased by $8.5 million due to the net loss reported for the six months ended June 30, 2024; and
•treasury shares increased by $2.5 million due to $2.3 million of shares repurchased under our authorized common share repurchase plan and $0.2 million of common share repurchases due to tax withholding on vested shares.

On February 21, 2017, the Company's Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to $100.0 million of the Company's common shares from time to time at market prices. The Company adopted a Rule 10b5-1(c)(1) trading arrangement as defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. On March 20, 2024, an amendment was made to the agreement initially signed on September 29, 2023 between Maiden Holdings and a financial intermediary authorizing the intermediary to purchase common shares from October 30, 2023 until the close of business on September 29, 2024, subject to certain conditions set forth in the agreement. The Company has fulfilled the repurchases under its current Rule 10b5-1(c)(1) trading arrangement.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, Maiden Reinsurance repurchased 747,561 and 1,099,672 common shares from the open market at an average price per share of $2.13 and $2.06, respectively, under the Company's share repurchase plan.

Senior Notes
There were no changes in the Company’s Senior Notes at June 30, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023. The Company did not enter into any short-term borrowing arrangements during the six months ended June 30, 2024. Please refer to "Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) Note 7. Long Term Debt" included under Part I Item 1 "Financial Information" of this Form 10-Q for a discussion of the Company’s Senior Notes. The 2013 Senior Notes issued by Maiden NA are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Maiden Holdings. The Senior Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Company.
As described in "Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) Note 7. Long-Term Debt" included under Part I Item 1 "Financial Information" of this Form 10-Q, on May 3, 2023, the Company's Board of Directors approved the repurchase, including the repurchase by Maiden Reinsurance in accordance with its investment guidelines, of up to $100.0 million of the Company's Senior Notes from time to time at market prices in open market purchases or as may be privately negotiated. The Company has a remaining authorization of $99.9 million for such repurchases at June 30, 2024.
Maiden Holdings does not have any significant operations or assets other than ownership of the shares of our subsidiaries. The dividends and other permitted distributions from Maiden NA (and its subsidiaries) will be our sole source of funds to meet ongoing cash requirements, including debt service payments. Factors that may affect payments to holders of the 2013 Senior Notes include restrictions on the payments of dividends by Maiden Reinsurance to Maiden NA which provides the sole source of income for interest payments on the 2013 Senior Notes. In 2023 and 2024, the Vermont DFR approved an annual dividend program from Maiden Reinsurance to Maiden NA, with notification to the Vermont DFR as dividends are paid. Subsequent to those approvals, Maiden Reinsurance paid total dividends of $56.3 million to Maiden NA as of June 30, 2024.
The summarized financial information below has been presented on a combined basis for the issuer Maiden NA and the guarantor Maiden Holdings, excluding all other subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions between Maiden NA and Maiden Holdings, whose information is presented above on a combined basis, were eliminated. Any investment by Maiden NA or Maiden Holdings in subsidiaries that are not issuers or guarantors is not presented in the financial information below. Intercompany balances with subsidiaries that are not issuers or guarantors and any related party transactions were separately disclosed below and are not included in the total assets and total liabilities presented for Maiden NA and Maiden Holdings. The net loss for Maiden NA and Maiden Holdings was due to interest and amortization expenses on the Senior Notes as well as general and administrative expenses. The net loss in Maiden NA also reflects income tax expense incurred for the respective period.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Certain of the Company's investments in limited partnerships are related to real estate joint ventures with interests in multi-property projects with varying strategies ranging from the development of properties to the ownership of income-producing properties. In certain of these joint ventures, the Company has provided certain indemnities, guarantees and commitments to certain parties such that it may be required to make payments now or in the future as further described in the "Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) Note 11. Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees" included under Part I Item 1 "Financial Information" of this Form 10-Q.
Any loss for which the Company could be liable would be contingent on the default of a loan by the real estate joint venture entity for which the Company provided a financial guarantee to a lender. While the Company has committed to aggregate limits as to the amount of guarantees it will provide as part of its limited partnerships, guarantees are only provided on an individual transaction basis and are subject to the terms and conditions of each transaction mutually agreed by the parties involved. The Company is not bound to such guarantees without its express authorization.
As discussed above, at June 30, 2024, guarantees of $69.0 million have been provided to lenders by the Company on behalf of the real estate joint venture, however, the likelihood of the Company incurring any losses pertaining to project level financing guarantees was determined to be remote. Therefore, no liability has been accrued under ASC 450-20.

Non-GAAP Measures
As defined and described in the Key Financial Measures section, 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 calculation, reconciliation to nearest GAAP measure and discussion of relevant non-GAAP measures used by management are as follows:
Non-GAAP operating (loss) earnings and Non-GAAP diluted operating (loss) earnings per share (attributable) available to common shareholders
Non-GAAP operating (loss) earnings and Non-GAAP diluted operating (loss) earnings per share (attributable) available to common shareholders can be reconciled to the nearest U.S. GAAP financial measure as follows:

Non-GAAP operating loss was $10.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to non-GAAP operating earnings of $4.5 million for the same period in 2023. The non-GAAP operating results were primarily driven by non-GAAP underwriting results in the AmTrust Reinsurance segment as discussed further below.

Non-GAAP operating loss was $15.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to non-GAAP operating loss of $3.4 million for the same period in 2023. The non-GAAP operating loss in both respective years were primarily driven by non-GAAP underwriting results in the AmTrust Reinsurance segment as discussed further below.

Please see "Key Financial Measures" section for the definitions of Non-GAAP underwriting loss and net loss and LAE.
The non-GAAP underwriting results above are summarized by segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 in the table below:

Non-GAAP underwriting loss $ (7,478) $ 1,465  $ (10,002) $ (5,215)
The non-GAAP underwriting results have been adjusted for prior year loss reserve development under the AmTrust Quota Share which is fully recoverable from Cavello under the LPT/ADC Agreement to show the ultimate economic benefit to the Company. As shown in the table above, adjusted for the increase in the deferred gain under the LPT/ADC Agreement of $2.3 million and $7.3 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, the non-GAAP underwriting loss was $7.5 million and $10.0 million, respectively. These results compared to non-GAAP underwriting income of $1.5 million and underwriting loss of $5.2 million when adjusted for the increase in the deferred gain under the LPT/ADC Agreement of $10.7 million and $12.3 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.
The non-GAAP underwriting loss of $7.5 million and $10.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, was primarily driven by:
•underwriting results in the AmTrust Reinsurance segment not covered by the LPT/ADC Agreement, specifically the run-off of the AmTrust Quota Share with losses occurring after December 31, 2018;
•adverse loss development of $0.1 million and $2.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 in the European Hospital Liability Quota Share, which is not covered by the LPT/ADC Agreement;
•favorable loss development on commuted Workers Compensation losses which are contractually covered by the LPT/ADC Agreement reduced the deferred gain liability on retroactive reinsurance by $3.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024; and
•underwriting loss of $2.8 million and $3.0 million in the Diversified Reinsurance segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.
Please refer to the respective segment results for AmTrust Reinsurance and Diversified Reinsurance under Item 2. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further details of these underwriting results.
Non-GAAP Net Loss and LAE
Adjusted for prior year reserve development under the AmTrust Quota Share which is fully recoverable from Cavello under the LPT/ADC Agreement, the non-GAAP net loss and LAE decreased by $2.3 million and $7.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. Adjusted for prior year reserve development under the AmTrust Quota Share which is fully recoverable from Cavello under the LPT/ADC Agreement, the non-GAAP net loss and LAE decreased by $10.7 million and $12.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

Adjusted Shareholders' Equity, Adjusted Total Capital Resources, Adjusted Book Value per Common Share, and Ratio of Debt to Total Adjusted Capital Resources
The Adjusted Shareholders' Equity, Adjusted Total Capital Resources and Adjusted Book Value per Common Share at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 reflect the addition of the unamortized deferred gain under the LPT/ADC Agreement to the GAAP shareholders' equity as depicted in the computations below. The deferred gain under the LPT/ADC Agreement was $78.2 million at June 30, 2024 compared to $70.9 million at December 31, 2023; this increase is attributable to $7.3 million in net loss and LAE recognized as adverse reserve development in the Company's GAAP income statement for AmTrust Quota Share policies covered by the LPT/ADC Agreement.
Net adverse development of $10.1 million was reported for policies under the AmTrust Quota Share for the six months ended June 30, 2024. These losses are largely recoverable under the LPT/ADC Agreement and are expected to be recognized as future GAAP income over time as recoveries are received subject to the provisions of both the LPT/ADC Agreement and the applicable GAAP accounting rules. We believe the inclusion of this unamortized deferred gain under these metrics better reflects the ultimate economic benefit of the LPT/ADC Agreement, which will improve the Company's shareholders' equity over the settlement period under the terms of the agreement.

Currency and Foreign Exchange
We conduct business in a variety of foreign (non-U.S.) currencies, the principal exposures being the euro and the British pound. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are exposed to changes in currency exchange rates. Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar, and exchange rate fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar may materially impact our results and financial position. Our principal exposure to foreign currency risk is our obligation to settle claims in foreign currencies. In addition, in order to minimize this risk, we maintain and expect to continue to maintain a portion of our investment portfolio in investments denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. We may employ various strategies (including hedging) to manage our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk. To the extent that these exposures are not fully hedged or the hedges are ineffective, our results of operations or equity may be adversely affected. At June 30, 2024, no such hedges or hedging strategies were in force or had been entered into. We measure monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at period end exchange rates, with the resulting foreign exchange gains and losses recognized in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Revenues and expenses in foreign currencies are converted at average exchange rates during the period. The effect of the translation adjustments for foreign operations is included in AOCI.
Net foreign exchange gains of $0.0 million and $2.1 million were generated during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to net foreign exchange losses of $2.6 million and $4.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in foreign exchange gains for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 was largely due to an appreciation in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the euro and the British pound.
At June 30, 2024, the decrease in foreign currency translation adjustments of $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily driven by exposures to euro, British pound and other non-USD denominated net loss reserves and insurance related liabilities in excess of foreign currency assets. Our non-USD denominated liabilities at June 30, 2024 included reserve for net loss and LAE of $262.2 million. Our foreign currency asset exposures at June 30, 2024 include $151.3 million of fixed maturity securities managed by our investment managers who have the discretion to hold foreign currency exposures as part of their total return strategy, $29.3 million of equity method real estate investments denominated in Canadian dollars, as well as $14.5 million of funds withheld receivable.
Effects of Inflation
The anticipated effects of inflation are considered explicitly in the pricing of the insured exposures, which are used as the initial estimates of reserves for loss and LAE. In addition, inflation is also implicitly accounted for in subsequent estimates of loss and LAE reserves, as the expected rate of emergence is in part predicated upon the historical levels of inflation that impact ultimate claim costs. To the extent inflation causes these costs, particularly medical treatments and litigation costs, to vary from the assumptions made in the pricing or reserving estimates, the Company will be required to change the reserve for loss and LAE with a corresponding change in its earnings in the period in which the variance is identified. The actual effects of inflation on the results of operations of the Company cannot be accurately known until claims are ultimately settled.
We continue to monitor inflationary impacts resulting from recent government stimulus, sharp increases in demand, labor force and supply chain disruptions, among other factors, on our loss cost trends. Our reserves predominantly consist of workers’ compensation, general liability, and hospital liability business. These long tailed lines of business have been subject to the longer term trend of social inflation, but we have not observed significant impacts for the recently elevated levels of inflation. We proactively analyze available data and we incorporate trends into our loss reserving assumptions to ensure we are considerate of current and future economic conditions.
Governmental policy responses to inflation have significantly increased interest rates which, in the short term, have contributed to unrealized losses on our fixed income investments, particularly on our fixed maturity securities. While general economic inflation has eased in recent quarters, there remains uncertainty around the rate and direction of inflation and interest rates and we continue to monitor our liquidity, capital and potential earnings impact of these changes but remain focused on our asset allocation decisions as described in our "Business Strategy" section of Item 2. "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Overview".
Inflation may also result in increased wage pressures for our operating expenses, as we remain focused on being a competitive employer in our market. Currently, while salaries and incentive compensation costs comprise less than one-half of our total general and administrative expenses, continuing inflation and tight labor conditions could have a material impact on our net operating results.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
At June 30, 2024, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined by Item 303(a) (4) of Regulation S-K.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
 Our management, with the participation and under the supervision of our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, such disclosure controls and procedures were effective. Our management, including our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide an absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our Company have been detected.
During the most recent fiscal quarter, there were no changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

The risks described in our 2023 Form 10-K are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and/or liquidity.

83
For the avoidance of doubt, the

relating thereto, actual and potential lease agreement for premises where the Business is conducted,
rights and obligations relating the Sellers’ employees, supplier agreements, trademarks and domain
names. No Assumption of Liabilities.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Sellers shall retain and remain

Liabilities”). For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer and Sellers agree that “Excluded Liabilities” shall also
include any and all liabilities relating to any and all Insurance Contracts prior to the Commencement

(b) It is furthermore the Parties joint understanding that the transfer of the Purchased Assets
does not constitute a transfer of an economic entity under
(i) Section 3 of the United Kingdom Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of
Employment) Regulations 2006 i.e., the UK TUPE regulation, and none of the Sellers’
employees will therefore transfer to the AEL Buyer and the AEL Buyer has no obligation to
offer employment to the Sellers’ employees as part of the transfer of the Purchased Assets.
(ii) The European Communities (Protection of Employees on Transfer of
Undertakings) Regulations 2003.e., the Eire TUPE regulation, and none of the Sellers’
employees will therefore transfer to the AIU Buyer and the AIU Buyer has no obligation to offer
employment to the Sellers’ employees as part of the transfer of the Purchased Assets.

1.4 Purchase Price and Calculation of Renewal Commission Payments.
(a) Purchase Price. The aggregate purchase price for the Purchased Assets (the “Purchase
Price”) shall be an amount in cash, payable in euros, equal to the amount of any Renewal Commission
Payment payable pursuant to Section 1.4(b).
(b) Renewal Commission Payments.
(i) As consideration for the purchase of the Purchased Assets, AEL Buyer shall pay
(or cause to be paid) to Sellers (in accordance with the allocations provided to Buyer by Sellers
in writing no fewer than sixty (60) days prior to the date than the first Renewal Commission
Payment (if any) becomes due an earn-out payment in respect of each Renewal Commission
Period equal to 3% of AEL Written Premium (each payment, an “AEL Renewal Commission
Payment”, and collectively, the “AEL Renewal Commission Payments”), in each case in
accordance with this Section 1.4(b).
(ii) As consideration for the purchase of the Purchased Assets, AIU Buyer shall pay (or
cause to be paid) to Sellers (in accordance with the allocations provided to Buyer by Sellers in
writing no fewer than sixty (60) days prior to the date than the first Renewal Commission
Payment (if any) becomes due an earn-out payment in respect of each Renewal Commission
Period equal to 3% of AIU Written Premium (each payment, an “AIU Renewal Commission
Payment”, and collectively, the “AIU Renewal Commission Payments”), in each case in
accordance with this Section 1.4(b).
(iii) Within one hundred and twenty (120) days from the end of each Renewal
Commission Period, Buyers shall deliver to Sellers a written report in reasonable detail setting
forth Buyers’ good faith calculation of the AEL Written Premium and AIU Written Premium for
each such Renewal Commission Period (each, an “Renewal Commission Statement”).
(iv) Within forty-five (45) days following delivery to Sellers of a Renewal Commission
Statement, Sellers shall deliver written notice (an “Renewal Commission Objection Notice”) to
Buyers of any good faith dispute it has with respect to the preparation or content of such statement.
84
A Renewal Commission Objection Notice must describe in reasonable detail the
items contained in a Renewal Commission Statement that Sellers dispute, the basis for any such
disputes and the specific euro amount of each such dispute and Sellers’ determination of the
amount of the AEL Written Premium and AIU Written Premium with respect to such Renewal
Commission Period. Any items not disputed in the Renewal Commission Objection Notice will
be deemed to have been accepted by Sellers. If Sellers do not deliver a proper and timely
Renewal Commission Objection Notice with respect to a Renewal Commission Statement within
such forty-five (45) day period, such Renewal Commission Statement will be final, conclusive
and binding on the parties. If Sellers deliver a proper and timely Renewal Commission Objection
Notice, then Buyers and Sellers shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any differences that they
may have with respect to the matters specified in the Renewal Commission Objection Notice. If
Buyers and Sellers, notwithstanding such good faith effort, fail to resolve such dispute within
fifteen (15) Business Days after Sellers deliver a Renewal Commission Objection Notice, then
Buyers and Sellers, jointly, shall engage a neutral accounting firm of national recognition (the
“Renewal Commission Arbitration Firm”) to resolve such dispute and enter into a customary
engagement letter with the Renewal Commission Arbitration Firm. As promptly as practicable
thereafter (and, in any event, within fifteen (15) Business Days after the Renewal Commission
Arbitration Firm’s engagement), Sellers shall submit any unresolved elements of its objection to
the Renewal Commission Arbitration Firm in writing (with a copy to Buyers), supported by any
documents and written arguments upon which it relies. As promptly as practicable thereafter
(and, in any event, within fifteen (15) Business Days following Sellers’ submission of such
unresolved elements), Buyers shall submit its response to the Renewal Commission Arbitration
Firm (with a copy to Sellers) supported by any documents and written arguments upon which it
relies. Neither Buyers nor Sellers shall have or conduct any communication, either written or
oral, with the Renewal Commission Arbitration Firm without the other party either being present
or receiving a concurrent copy of any written communication. The Renewal Commission
Arbitration Firm may conduct a conference concerning the objections and disagreements
between Sellers and Buyers, at which conference each of Sellers and Buyers shall have the right
to (y) present its documents, materials and other evidence previously provided to the Renewal
Commission Arbitration Firm and the other party and (z) have present its or their advisors,
accountants, counsel and other Representatives. Buyers and Sellers shall request that the
Renewal Commission Arbitration Firm render its determination within thirty (30) days following
its receipt of Buyer’s response. The scope of the disputes to be resolved by the Renewal
Commission Arbitration Firm shall be limited to the unresolved items on the Renewal
Commission Objection Notice, and the Renewal Commission Arbitration Firm’s determination
will be based solely on this Agreement and the information provided by Sellers and Buyers
pursuant to this Section 1.4(b). In resolving any disputed item, the Renewal Commission
Arbitration Firm may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value claimed for
such item by either party or less than the smallest value claimed for such item by either party on
the Renewal Commission Statement or Renewal Commission Objection Notice, as applicable.
Buyers, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, shall share equally the fees and expenses
of the Renewal Commission Arbitration Firm. Other than the fees and expenses of the Renewal
Commission Arbitration Firm, Buyers, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, will each
be responsible for its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with any actions taken
pursuant to this Section 1.4(b). All determinations made by the Renewal Commission
Arbitration Firm will be final, conclusive and binding on the parties. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Agreement, any disputes regarding amounts shown in a Renewal
Commission Statement shall be resolved solely and exclusively as set forth in this Section 1.4(b);
provided, however, that nothing in this Section 1.4(b) shall prevent any party from seeking and
obtaining relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce performance of these
provisions, including the decision of the Renewal Commission Arbitration Firm.
(v) AEL Buyer will pay or cause to be paid to Sellers (in accordance with the
allocations provided to Buyer by Sellers in writing no fewer than sixty (60) days prior to the date than the first Renewal Commission Payment (if any) becomes due the applicable the AEL
85
Renewal Commission Payment, if any, within forty-five (45) days of the final determination of
the AEL Written Premium pursuant to Section 1.4(b) by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to the account(s) designated in writing by Sellers. The AEL Renewal Commission
Payments will be treated as the Purchase Price for all purposes (including Tax and financial
accounting).
(vi) AIU Buyer will pay or cause to be paid to Sellers (in accordance with the allocations
provided to Buyer by Sellers in writing no fewer than sixty (60) days prior to the date than the
first Renewal Commission Payment (if any) becomes due the applicable the AIU Renewal

Written Premium pursuant to Section 1.4(b) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to
the account(s) designated in writing by Sellers. The AIU Renewal Commission Payments will
be treated as the Purchase Price for all purposes (including Tax and financial accounting).

1.5 Closing Transactions.
(a) Closing. The closing of the sale and purchase of the Purchased Assets (the “Closing”) shall

Period”) it shall not (and shall cause its Affiliates not to) directly, or indirectly through another Person,

month period immediately prior to such call, solicit or service), induce or attempt to induce such Person
to cease doing business with either Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the
Purchased Assets, or in any way interfere with the relationship between any such customer, Producer or
business relation and either Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates (including making any negative
statements or communications about the Business, either Buyer or their respective Affiliates) in a
manner harmful to the Business, Purchased Assets or either Buyer or their respective Affiliates with

Section 4.3(c) shall prevent Seller or its Affiliates from (A) soliciting or hiring any such Person whose
employment or engagement has been terminated (1) by Buyer or its Affiliates or (2) by such Person

unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties agree that the maximum duration, scope or
area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated duration, scope or area and
that the court shall be allowed and directed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the
maximum period, scope and area permitted by Law. Each Seller has consulted with legal counsel
regarding the Restrictive Covenants and based on such consultation has determined and hereby
acknowledges that the Restrictive Covenants are reasonable in terms of duration, scope and area
restrictions and are necessary to protect the goodwill of the Business and the substantial investment in
the Business made by Buyers hereunder.
(e) If a Seller or any of its Affiliates breaches, or threatens to commit a breach of, any of the
Restrictive Covenants, Buyers and their respective Affiliates shall have the following rights and
remedies, each of which rights and remedies shall be independent of the others and severally
enforceable, and each of which is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies
available to Buyers or any of their respective Affiliates at Law or in equity: the right and remedy of
injunction, to have the Restrictive Covenants specifically enforced and/or other equitable relief by any
court of competent jurisdiction, without the necessity of proving actual harm or posting a bond or other
security therefor, it being agreed that any breach or threatened breach of the Restrictive Covenants would
cause irreparable injury to the Business and Buyers and that money damages would not provide an
adequate remedy to the Business or Buyers. In the event of any breach or violation by a Seller of any of
the Restrictive Covenants, the time period of such covenant shall be tolled until such breach or violation
is resolved.
(f) The Restrictive Covenants in this clause do not prevent the Seller from complying with its
regulatory obligations to offer continuation insurance.

that, pursuant to this Agreement, is due and owing to a Buyer, such Seller shall, or shall cause such

93
Buyer, in each case of (i) and (ii), without cost or expense to either Buyer; or
(b) if a Buyer or any of its Affiliates receives any payment from a third party that, pursuant to
this Agreement, is due and owing to either Seller, the applicable Buyer shall, or shall cause such Affiliate
of such Buyer to, promptly (and in no event later than fifteen (15) days following receipt thereof) remit

incidental to or by virtue of:
(i) any breach by a Seller or any inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made
by a Seller in this Agreement or any of the Disclosure Schedules or Exhibits attached hereto, or
in any of the Ancillary Agreements (determined in each case without regard to any qualification

Affiliates, and each of their respective equity holders, officers, directors, employees, agents, partners,
representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Seller Parties”) and save and hold each of

or Exhibits attached hereto, or in any of the Ancillary Agreements (determined in each case without
regard to any qualification or limitation with respect to materiality or other similar qualification or
limitation), or (ii) any nonfulfillment or breach of any covenant, agreement or other provision by a Buyer
under this Agreement or any of the Disclosure Schedules and Exhibits attached hereto; provided,
however, that Buyers’ aggregate liability under (A) Section 5.2(b)(i) above (other than with respect to
the Buyer Fundamental Representations and Warranties and Ancillary Agreements, for which the
following limitation will not apply), shall in no event exceed an amount equal to the Cap, and (z) Section
5.2(b)(ii) shall in no event exceed an amount equal to €100,000.

immediately available funds from the applicable Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, to an account(s)
designated by the applicable Buyer Party or applicable Seller, as the case may be, within ten (10) days
after the determination thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer Parties shall be entitled to (but
shall not be required to) set-off any amounts due or payable to any of the Buyer Parties by a Seller
pursuant to this Section 5.2 against any amounts otherwise due and payable by any of the Buyer Parties
to any Seller Party pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, any Renewal Commission
Payment). All indemnification payments under this Section 5.2 shall be deemed adjustments to the
Purchase Price for income Tax purposes.
(d) Defense of Third-Party Claims. Any Person making a claim for indemnification under this
Section 5.2 (an “Indemnitee”) in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim or demand made by any
Person other than a party hereto or Affiliate thereof (a “Third Party Claim”) shall notify the indemnifying
party (an “Indemnitor”) of the claim in writing as promptly as reasonably practicable after receiving
written notice of the Third Party Claim, describing the claim (in reasonable detail), the amount thereof
(if known and quantifiable) and the basis thereof; provided, that the failure to so notify an Indemnitor
shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations hereunder or affect, limit or reduce the indemnification
provided hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnitor’s ability to defend against the Third Party
Claim is materially and adversely affected by such failure (and then only to the extent that such failure
shall have caused the damages for which the Indemnitor is obligated to be greater than such damages
would have been had the Indemnitee given the Indemnitor prompt notice hereunder). Indemnitee shall
control the defense of any Third-party Claim. Indemnitor shall be entitled to participate in the defense
of such Third Party Claim giving rise to an Indemnitee’s claim for indemnification at Indemnitor’s cost
and expense, subject in all cases to Indemnitee’s ultimate control over the defense of such Third Party
Claim; provided, that the Indemnitor shall not be entitled to participate in such defense (unless otherwise
agreed to in writing by the Indemnitee) and shall pay the fees and expenses of counsel retained by the
Indemnitee if (A) the claim for indemnification relates to or arises in connection with, or otherwise
alleges, any criminal or quasi-criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation;
(B) the Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief or other non-monetary remedies against
the Indemnitee; (C) the Indemnitee has been advised by counsel that a reasonable likelihood exists of a
conflict of interest between the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee; or (D) the Third Party Claim, if successful, would reasonably be likely to result in a payment by an Indemnitee to one or more third
95
parties that is in excess of the amount for which indemnification may be obtained under this Agreement
(including by reason of the limitations contained in Section 5.2).
(e) Claims Other Than Third Party Claims. If an Indemnitee shall desire to assert any claim
or demand for indemnification provided for under this Section 5.2 other than a claim or demand in
respect of, arising out of or involving a Third Party Claim, such Indemnitee shall notify the Indemnitor
of the claim or demand in writing (a “Claim Notice”), describing the claim (in reasonable detail), the
amount thereof (if known and quantifiable) or an estimate thereof (the “Claim Amount”), within ninety
(90) days after the Indemnitee’s determination that such claim or demand has or would reasonably be
expected to give rise to indemnification under Section 5.2; provided, that the failure to so notify an
Indemnitor shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations hereunder or affect, limit or reduce the
indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnitor’s ability to defend against
the claim or demand is materially and adversely affected by such failure (and then only to the extent that
such failure shall have caused the damages for which the Indemnitor is obligated to be greater than such
damages would have been had the Indemnitee given the Indemnitor prompt notice hereunder). Within
thirty (30) days after delivery of a Claim Notice, the Indemnitor shall deliver to the Indemnitee a written
response in which the Indemnitor shall (A) agree that the Indemnitee is entitled to receive all of the
Claim Amount, (B) agree that the Indemnitee is entitled to receive part, but not all, of the Claim Amount
(the “Agreed Amount”) or (C) contest that the Indemnitee is entitled to receive any of the Claim Amount.
If the Indemnitor does not send a timely written response, then the Claim Amount set forth in any Claim
Notice shall be deemed finally determined for all purposes hereunder. Any such notice that contests the
Claim Notice shall describe in general terms the basis for such objection and, to the extent known, the
amount of the claim (or an estimate thereof) that the Indemnitor does not believe should be subject to
indemnification. Upon receipt of any such dispute notice, the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor shall
endeavor in good faith to arrive at a mutually acceptable resolution within thirty (30) days of receipt of
such dispute notice. If a resolution is not reached within such thirty (30)-day period, then either party
may commence litigation. If it is finally determined (through either agreement of the parties or
otherwise) that all or a portion of the Claim Amount is owed to the Indemnitee, the Indemnitor shall,
within ten (10) days of such determination, pay the Indemnitee the applicable amount.

(f) Exclusive Remedy. Except for actions seeking specific performance or similar equitable
relief, any action or claim based upon fraud or intentional misrepresentation, and any disputes under
Section 1.4(b) (which disputes will be resolved in accordance with the dispute mechanism set forth in
Section 1.4(b)), the indemnification provisions contained in this Article 5 shall be the sole and exclusive
remedy for any breach of any representation or warranty made by a party or any covenant or agreement
of a party contained in this Agreement.
(g) Limitations.
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement: (A) Sellers
shall not be liable to the Buyer Parties for indemnification under Section 5.2(a)(i) (other than, in
any case, with respect to the Seller Fundamental Representations and Warranties, for which the
following limitations will not apply) until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of such
indemnification exceeds an amount equal to €3,000 (the “Deductible”), after which point Sellers
shall indemnify Buyer Parties for all Losses; provided, further, that Sellers’ aggregate liability
under Section 5.2(a)(i) (other than, in any case, with respect to the Seller Fundamental
Representations and Warranties, for which the following limitation will not apply), shall in no
event exceed an amount equal to €100,000 (the “Cap”); provided, that, for the avoidance of
doubt, the Cap shall not apply to the Buyer Parties’ rights to indemnification for any other
indemnifiable matters hereunder (including Losses they may suffer, sustain or incur arising from,
in connection with or as a result of the breach of any Seller Fundamental Representation), which
shall be limited to the Renewal Commission Payments actually received by Sellers.
(ii) NO PARTY HERETO SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY UNDER ANY AGREEMENT; EXCEPT (I) TO THE EXTENT SUCH AMOUNTS ARE ACTUALLY PAID
PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT FOR ANY PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR SPECIAL
DAMAGES, ANY DAMAGES BASED UPON ANY TYPE OF MULTIPLE OR
DIMINUTION IN VALUE, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION LOSSES, LOSS OF FUTURE
96
REVENUE, PROFITS OR INCOME OR LESS OF BUSINESS REPUTATION OR
OPPORTUNITY RELATING TO THE BREACH OR ALLEGED BREACH OF THIS
TO A NON-AFFILIATED PERSON IN RESPECT OF A THIRD PARTY CLAIM OR (II) FOR
LOST PROFITS OR DAMAGES BASED ON DIMINUTION IN VALUE THAT ARE THE
NATURAL, PROBABLE AND REASONABLY FORESEEABLE RESULT OF A BREACH
OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND (B) SHALL BE NET OF ANY AMOUNTS ACTUALLY
RECEIVED BY THE PERSON SEEKING INDEMNIFICATION FOR WHICH SUCH
INDEMNITY PAYMENT IS MADE UNDER ANY THIRD-PARTY INSURANCE POLICY,
REINSURANCE AGREEMENT, WARRANTY OR INDEMNITY, IN EACH CASE,
PROVIDING FOR COVERAGE RELATING THERETO.
(iii) Each party must use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Loss upon
becoming aware of any event or circumstance that would be reasonably expected to, or does,
give rise to such Loss for which such party seeks indemnification pursuant to this Agreement.
(iv) Subject to any other provisions of this Agreement, and except in the case of
circumstances involving fraud, the foregoing indemnification provisions in this Article 5 shall
be the exclusive remedy of Buyer Parties and Seller Parties with respect to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.

(v) Any indemnity payment made hereunder shall be treated by Sellers and Buyers as
an adjustment to the Purchase Price.
(vi) Any liability for any Losses shall be determined without duplication of recovery by
reason of the state of facts giving rise to such Losses constituting a breach of more than one
representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement of this Agreement.
(vii) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision in this Agreement, the parties
agree and acknowledge that nothing in this Agreement shall limit or restrict (including any Cap
or time limitations) any of the parties’ rights to maintain or recover any amounts in connection
with any action or claim based upon fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful or criminal
misconduct.

Performance Award Agreement

This Performance Award Agreement (this “Agreement”), effective as of [DATE] (the “Grant Date”), is between Maiden Holdings, Ltd., a Bermuda company (the “Company”), and _______________ (the “Participant”).

1. Grant of Shares.

(a)The Company hereby grants to the Participant a Performance Award (the “Award”) representing a performance-based restricted share award of ________ common shares, $.01 par value, of the Company (the “Shares”) as set forth in and subject to the terms and conditions herein. This Award and the Shares subject to this Award have been duly granted by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) pursuant to the Company’s 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). This Agreement shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. In the event that the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan conflict, the Plan shall control. The Participant hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan. Any capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan.

(b) The Award shall be null and void unless the Participant (a) accepts this Agreement by executing it in the space provided therefor and returning an original execution copy of the Agreement to the Company (or electronically accepts this Agreement within the Participant’s stock plan account with the Company’s stock plan administrator according to the procedures then in effect), (b) if required by the Company, executes and returns one or more irrevocable stock powers to facilitate the transfer to the Company (or its assignee or nominee) of all or a portion of the Shares subject to the Award if any Shares are forfeited pursuant to Section 2 or if required under applicable laws or regulations and (c) agrees to abide by all administrative procedures established by the Company or its stock plan administrator, including any procedures requiring the Participant to notify the Company of any proposed sale of any Shares acquired upon the vesting of this Award. As soon as practicable after the Participant has executed such documents and returned them to the Company, the Company shall cause to be issued in the Participant’s name the total number of Shares subject to the Award.

2. Vesting of Shares and Provisions for Termination and Change in Control.

(a) The Shares subject to this Award shall initially be unvested and shall vest, if at all and except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, based upon the achievement of the performance criteria set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Performance Goals”) during the three-year performance period (the “Performance Period”).

(b) If the Participant’s employment with the Company is terminated by the Company for Cause or if the Participant resigns for any reason prior to the Company’s achievement of the Performance Goals and prior to the date the Company consummates a Change in Control, the Participant shall forfeit without compensation this Award and the unvested Shares as of such termination of employment.

(c) If the Participant’s employment with the Company is terminated due to the Participant’s death or termination by the Company without Cause or due to Disability and prior to the date the Company consummates a Change in Control, the Shares shall remain outstanding and shall vest upon the earlier to occur of (i) the achievement of the Performance Goals during the Performance Period, as determined in accordance with Section 2(a), and (ii) the consummation of the Change in Control. For purposes of this Award, “Disability” shall mean the Participant’s absence from the Participant’s duties with the Company on a full-time basis for at least 180 consecutive days as a result of the Participant’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness, or under such other circumstances as the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, constitute a Disability.
106

(d) If the Company consummates a Change in Control any time after the end of the first year of the Performance Period but prior to the expiration of the Performance Period, the Performance Goals shall be deemed achieved based on the greater of (i) target performance and (ii) actual performance, in each case, determined in accordance with Exhibit A, and the Award shall be subject to time-based vesting through the expiration of the Performance Period; provided, however, if the Participant’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Participant due to Good Reason, in each case, within twenty-four (24) months following a Change in Control, then the Award shall vest as of the effective date of such termination of employment.

3. Custody and Delivery of Shares. The Shares subject to the Award shall be held by the Company or by a custodian in book entry form, with restrictions on the Shares duly noted, until such Shares shall have vested, in whole or in part, pursuant to Section 2 hereof. Alternatively, in the sole discretion of the Company, the Company shall hold a certificate or certificates representing the Shares subject to the Award until such Shares shall have vested, in whole or in part, pursuant to Section 2 hereof. After all or any portion of the Shares shall have vested pursuant to Section 2 hereof, the Company shall, subject to the remainder of this Agreement, remove the notations on such Shares or deliver the certificate or certificates for the vested Shares, as applicable, to a brokerage account in the name of the Participant, which transfer to the brokerage account shall occur as soon as administratively practicable after the vesting of the Shares, subject to such other procedures and restrictions that the Company may determine are necessary or appropriate to comply with Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any resale restrictions to which the Participant is subject. If the Company delivers certificate(s) for the vested Shares pursuant to the foregoing sentence, the Company shall also destroy the stock power or powers relating to such vested Shares delivered by the Participant pursuant to Section 1 hereof; provided that, if such stock power or powers also relate to unvested Shares, the Company may require, as a condition precedent to delivery of any certificate pursuant to this Section 3, the execution and delivery to the Company of one or more stock powers relating to such unvested Shares.

4. Transferability of Shares.

(a) Prior to the date on which the Shares vest pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement, no rights granted hereunder shall be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) nor shall any such rights be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Upon any attempt to transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of unvested Shares or of such rights contrary to the provisions here, or upon the levy of any attachment or similar process upon any unvested Shares of such rights, the Award and the Shares subject to the Award and such rights shall, at the election of the Company, become null and void.

(b) Following the Company’s delivery to the Participant of the certificates representing the vested Shares or the removal of the restrictions in book entry, in each case, pursuant to Section 3, the transfer or sale of the Shares shall be subject to the Company’s policy concerning insider trading, unless the Participant makes a valid election to transfer or sell the Shares in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the United States securities laws.

(c) The Participant understands and agrees that the Company shall cause the legends set forth below or legends substantially equivalent thereto, to be placed upon any certificate(s) evidencing ownership of the Shares together with any other legends that may be required by the Company or by state or federal securities laws:

THE TRANSFERABILITY OF THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS (INCLUDING FORFEITURE) OF A PERFORMANCE AWARD AGREEMENT ENTERED INTO BETWEEN THE REGISTERED OWNER AND MAIDEN HOLDINGS, LTD. A COPY OF SUCH AGREEMENT IS ON FILE IN THE OFFICES OF, AND WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE FOR A PROPER PURPOSE BY, THE CORPORATE SECRETARY OF MAIDEN HOLDINGS, LTD.
107

(d) The Participant agrees that in order to ensure compliance with the restrictions referred to herein, the Company may issue appropriate “stop transfer” instructions to its transfer agent, if any, and that, if the Company transfers its own securities, it may make appropriate notations to the same effect in its own records.

(e) The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any Shares that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement or (ii) to treat as owner of such Shares or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such Shares shall have been so transferred.

5. Rights as a Shareholder.

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Participant shall have all rights as a holder of the Shares subject to the Award, including, without limitation, voting rights, the right to receive dividends and other distributions thereon, and the right to participate in any capital adjustment applicable to all holders of Shares unless and until such shares are forfeited pursuant to Section 2 hereof; provided, however, that a distribution with respect to Shares (including, without limitation, a cash dividend, stock dividend or stock split) shall be delivered to the Company (and the Participant shall, if requested by the Company, execute and return one or more irrevocable stock powers related thereto related to any Shares received as a result of such distribution) and shall be subject to the same restrictions as the Shares with respect to which such dividend or other distribution was made.

6. No Right to Employment or Service.

Neither the Award nor this Agreement gives Participant the right to be retained by the Company in any capacity and Participant’s employment or service may be terminated at any time and for any reason.

7. Recapitalization.

If there is any change in the corporate structure or shares of the Company, the Committee or the Board of Directors (the “Board”) shall make any appropriate adjustments, including, but not limited to, such adjustments deemed necessary to prevent accretion, or to protect against dilution, in the number and kind of Shares. All adjustments shall be determined by the Committee or the Board in its sole discretion and such determination shall be binding on the Participant.

8. Compliance with Laws and Regulations.

(a) The Company will not be obligated to issue or deliver any Shares to the Participant unless the issuance and delivery of such shares complies with applicable law, including, without limitation, the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, applicable state securities law and the requirements of any stock exchange or market upon which the Shares may then be listed, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.

(b) In connection with the delivery of Shares to the Participant following the vesting of any Shares, the Participant shall execute and deliver to the Company such representations in writing as may be requested by the Committee or the Company that the Company may comply with the applicable requirements of federal and state securities laws.
108
9. Withholding.

The Company (or any of its subsidiaries if the Participant is employed by a subsidiary) shall have the right to deduct from payments of any kind otherwise due to the Participant (including payment of salary or bonuses) or to withhold a number of the Shares otherwise having a fair market value (determined as of the date of vesting of the Shares) equal to, the minimum federal, state and local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to the delivery of the Shares to the Participant. In the alternative, the Participant may make a timely election pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code or similar provision of state law and provide to the Company a copy of such election and proof of filing. The Company advises the Participant to seek personal tax and financial advice as to the consequences of the transfer of the Shares under this Agreement and the taxability of the Shares. The transfer restrictions with respect to a Share shall not be removed and, if applicable, the certificate representing a Share shall not be issued or delivered until the required tax payments have been satisfied in full.

10. Miscellaneous.

(a) Except as provided herein, this Agreement may not be amended or otherwise modified in a manner that is materially adverse to the Participant unless evidenced in writing and signed by the Company and Participant.

(b) All notices under this Agreement shall be mailed or delivered by hand to the parties at their respective addresses set forth beneath their names below or at such other address as may be designated in writing by either of the parties to one another.

(c) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Bermuda without regard to any conflicts or choice of law rules or principles that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction.

(d) Decisions of Board or Committee. The Board or the Committee shall have the right to resolve all questions which may arise in connection with the Award. Any interpretation, determination or other action made or taken by the Board or the Committee regarding the Plan or this Agreement shall be final, binding and conclusive.

(e) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successor or successors of the Company and any person or persons who shall, upon the death of the Participant, acquire any rights hereunder in accordance with this Agreement or the Plan.

(f) Shares earned and delivered under this Agreement shall be subject to any recoupment policy for awards under the Plan adopted by the Company as such policy exists from time to time, including, without limitation, the Maiden Holdings, Ltd. Policy on Recoupment of Incentive Compensation.
