Item 5. Other Events.
On October 2, 2001, RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd. issued the attached press
release, filed as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated in this Current Report by
reference.
The press release announces, among other things, estimated operating earnings
for the three months ended September 30, 2001 and full year 2001 and the
estimated impact on RenissanceRe of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
The press release does not contain estimates of net income per share. The
difference between RenaissanceRe's net income and operating income is derived
from the effect of realized gains and losses on investments. RenaissanceRe
currently estimates that realized gains and losses from investments for the
three months ended September 30, 2001 will be in the range of $0.10 per share to
$.20 per share, and that estimated realized gains and losses from investments
for the full year of 2001 will be in the range of $0.62 per share to $0.72 per
share, assuming no significant changes in the fourth quarter. In addition to the
estimates contained in previous press release, RenaissanceRe estimates that net
income for the three months ended September 30, 2001 would be in the range of
$0.85 per share to $1.45 per share, and net income for the full year ended 2001
will be in the range of $7.12 and $7.72 per share. These estimates of net income
and operating income all take into account the estimated impact of the September
11 events on RenaissancRe.
