Letter To Our Shareho l ders
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
2025 was an exemplary year for RenaissanceRe in which we demonstrated the efficacy of our strategy and the persistence of our
earnings profile. The Company delivered excellent financial and strategic performance, marking three years of industry‑leading results
that reflect the strength of our larger and more diversified platform, the discipline of our underwriting culture, and the depth of our
talent.
The Board provided steady oversight throughout 2025, guiding strategic execution and risk governance, and maintaining strong
alignment between compensation and performance. Looking forward, we believe our underwriting expertise, robust capital position,
and strong contributions from our Three Drivers of Profit position us well to continue generating long‑term value for shareholders.
Financial Strength and Capital Management
RenaissanceRe delivered a 26% return on average common equity and an 18% operating return on average common equity in 2025
– strong results on their own, but even more notable given the impact of the California Wildfires in the first quarter and several
Specialty events through the year.1 The California Wildfires were among the largest insured natural disasters in history, and
RenaissanceRe was proud to support our customers by paying claims that helped communities rebuild, while continuing to generate
attractive returns for shareholders.
All Three Drivers of Profit – Underwriting, Fee and Investment Income – contributed to our strong results for the year:
•Underwritin g: We generated $1.3 billion in underwriting income and an 87% combined ratio, inclusive of a $1.1 billion net negative
impact on underwriting results from the California Wildfires. This year we saw increased competition in the reinsurance market, but
demonstrated underwriting agility, deploying our underwriting expertise to select the most attractive risks, and our broad client
relationships to achieve preferential signings. As a result, we believe we wrote an attractive portfolio with a high degree of rate
adequacy which should drive healthy returns for shareholders.
•Fees: Our Capital Partners business delivered another excellent year, with fees of $328.9 million and continued strong engagement
from our third-party investors. Management and performance fees remained robust given stable premiums and favorable
underwriting results.
•Investments: Our investment portfolio has expanded to $36.1 billion, mirroring growth in our underwriting portfolio and longer-tail
reserves. In 2025, the investment portfolio contributed $1.7 billion in investment income, and has become an increasingly significant
contributor to our financial results, providing earnings stability which we build upon with income from our core underwriting business.
We are in an excellent capital and liquidity position and shared our strong returns with shareholders, repurchasing $1.6 billion of
common shares in 2025. This was nearly equivalent to operating income for the year, at valuations that resulted in limited dilution.1
These repurchases reflect our confidence in RenaissanceRe’s long‑term earnings power and our consistent focus on being good
stewards of our shareholders’ capital. The combination of strong financial returns and diligent capital management resulted in the
growth of book value per common share plus change in accumulated dividends of 27% and tangible book value per common share
plus change in accumulated dividends of 31%.1
Attracting, Retaining and Developing our People
RenaissanceRe recently surpassed an important milestone, growing to more than 1,000 employees worldwide. Our culture is
grounded in high performance, empowerment, and collaboration, and we continue to attract exceptional talent while maintaining
strong retention among our long‑tenured employees.
1 Operating return on average common equity, operating income available to common shareholders, and growth in tangible book value per common share plus
change in accumulated dividends are non-GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures is included in ‘‘Appendix A.’’

27.0% Change in Book Value per Common Share plus Change in Accumulated Dividends |  | $11.7 billion Gross Premiums Written |  | Strong Performance Across Three Drivers of Profit

Today, about one quarter of our workforce has been with RenaissanceRe for more than 10 years, and another quarter has joined us
within the last two years. This combination of deep institutional knowledge and fresh perspectives strengthens our ability to innovate
while preserving the culture that has been central to our success. We focus on cultivating and retaining talent at every level by:
•Investing in leadership and skills development: We expanded our leadership, management, and technical training, including
enhanced programs for underwriting analysts and external leadership development opportunities for senior leaders. These
programs strengthen our talent pipeline and help ensure employees have the capabilities needed to support our long‑term strategy.
•Maintaining robust succession plans: The Board actively oversees leadership succession planning, working with management to
ensure continuity in key roles and to help maintain a deep bench of future leaders across the organization.
•Aligning compensation with performance and retention: Our compensation program is designed to reward superior
performance, foster an ownership mindset, and strengthen alignment between employee and shareholder interests. This year’s
above‑target annual bonus reflects strong Company performance in 2025. In addition, we are seeking shareholder approval of the
2026 Long‑Term Incentive Plan so that we may continue to reward our employees through equity compensation, which we believe
reinforces long‑term value creation and leadership retention.
Our Board
Our directors bring deep expertise in risk, finance, investments, and executive leadership, enabling thoughtful oversight of
RenaissanceRe’s strategy and governance. The Board has a long history of refreshing its composition to reflect the evolving needs of
the Company, adding directors with new skill sets and perspectives that strengthen its ability to guide management and support
RenaissanceRe’s long‑term success. This year, we are pleased to nominate Stephen C. Hooley to stand for election at the upcoming
Annual General Meeting. Stephen brings meaningful experience as a public company executive, with expertise in technology and
financial services industries, and we look forward to the insight that he will provide as RenaissanceRe executes its strategy at our
larger scale.
We would also like to thank David C. Bushnell who will retire from the Board at the end of his term. Over his 18 years as a director,
David served on all three Board committees: Investment and Risk Management Committee, Audit Committee, and Corporate
Governance and Human Capital Management Committee. His insight and judgment in finance, capital markets, risk management,
operations, and investments have made a lasting impact on the Company.
Finally, James L. Gibbons will be stepping down as Non-Executive Chair at the Annual General Meeting and Henry Klehm III will move
into this position. James will remain on the Board as a director, and a member of the Audit Committee. Henry has significant
experience as a member of the RenaissanceRe Board and most recently has served as Chair of the Corporate Governance and
Human Capital Management Committee. He brings deep experience in risk, compliance, regulation and corporate governance and we
look forward to his contributions as Non-Executive Chair.
In Conclusion
Our success over the last three years has been driven by the strength of our strategy, the resilience of our diversified earnings model,
and the dedication of our people. We enter 2026 with a strong balance sheet, a larger and more capable platform, and a motivated
team focused on delivering long‑term value for our shareholders.
Thank you for your partnership and the trust you place in RenaissanceRe.
March 18, 2026
Sincerely,

/s/ James L. Gibbons |  | /s/ Kevin J. O’Donnell

Corporate Governance

| PROPOSAL 1 |
| Election of Four Class I Director Nominees Named in this Proxy Statement
|  | The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote FOR the election of Mr. Gibbons, Mr. Gidumal, Mr. Hooley and Dr. Jeworrek.

Election of Directors
Our Amended and Restated Bye-laws (our “Bye-laws”) provide that the number of directors shall be determined by our Board
and shall be between eight and eleven members. Currently, that number has been fixed by the Board at eleven. The Board
consists of three classes, with directors of one class elected each year for terms extending to the annual general meeting of
shareholders held in the third year following their election.
The terms of our Class I directors will expire at the Annual Meeting. Mr. Bushnell, who is currently a Class I director, will retire
from the Board at the end of his current term. The Board, upon the recommendation of the Governance and Human Capital
Committee, has nominated Mr. Gibbons, Mr. Gidumal, Mr. Hooley and Dr. Jeworrek for election as Class I directors. If elected
at the Annual Meeting, these Class I director nominees will serve until the expiration of their terms in 2029, or until their earlier
resignation or removal.
Mr. Gibbons, Mr. Gidumal and Dr. Jeworrek were each last elected to the Board at our 2023 Annual General Meeting of
Shareholders.
Mr. Hooley was identified as a potential director candidate by a third-party search firm which was engaged by the Governance
and Human Capital Committee to assist it in identifying and evaluating potential candidates. The Governance and Human
Capital Committee then undertook a comprehensive evaluation process described below in the section “Selection and
Nomination of Directors” and determined that he possessed a combination of qualifications and experience that will contribute
to the Board’s oversight duties, and was qualified under the Board’s criteria.
We have no reason to believe that any of the nominees will be unable or unwilling to serve if elected. However, if a nominee
becomes unable or unwilling to accept a nomination or election, the Board may select a substitute nominee and the common
shares represented by proxies may be voted for such nominee unless shareholders indicate otherwise.
Majority Vote Requirement
Each director nominee who receives a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting will be elected as a director. However, if
a nominee fails to receive a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting, such nominee will tender an irrevocable
resignation that will be effective upon the Board’s acceptance of such resignation, as codified in our Corporate Governance
Guidelines. Upon the submission of the resignation, the Governance and Human Capital Committee will promptly consider the
resignation and make a recommendation to the Board, and the Board will consider any relevant factors in deciding whether to
accept or reject the director’s resignation.

| RenaissanceRe 2026 Proxy Statement | 11

Board Composition and Effectiveness
We believe the Board benefits from taking a holistic approach to its composition and refreshment. Our Board values a mix of
new directors, who bring fresh perspectives, and longer-serving directors, who bring continuity and breadth of experience with
our business, strategies and risk management processes. Our Board has developed comprehensive and ongoing assessment
and succession planning processes and regularly reviews the biographical backgrounds and skills of its current members and
potential nominees in connection with its ongoing evaluation of Board composition and refreshment.

| RenaissanceRe 2026 Proxy Statement | 19

Assessment of Board Composition
The Board conducts a comprehensive analysis of the skills, qualifications, experience and attributes that are determined to
best serve the Board and the interests of stockholders. When identifying and considering potential director nominees and
evaluating the current composition of our Board, the Governance and Human Capital Committee focuses on:
•the composition and competencies of our Board as a whole,
•how the traits possessed by individual directors and director nominees complement one another,
•the ability of the current and proposed members to operate collegially and effectively, and
•the intersection of these factors with our current strategy, operational plans and oversight requirements.
The Board also considers outside commitments of directors, including service on other boards and board committees, in
assessing their ability to serve on the Board and committees of the Board.
Director Qualifications
As discussed in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, we do not set specific criteria for directors, but believe that candidates
should show evidence of leadership in their particular field and have broad experience and the ability to exercise sound
business judgment. In selecting directors, the Board generally seeks a combination of qualities and experience that will
contribute to the exercise of the duties of the Board, including active or former chief executive or senior officers of major
complex businesses, leading academics and entrepreneurs. The factors considered by the Governance and Human Capital
Committee when evaluating individual director nominees include:

Personal and professional ethics, integrity and values | Business acumen, leadership qualities and record of accomplishment | Compatibility with the existing Board composition | Commitment to serve on our Board for a potentially extended period of time, in light of the market cycles and earnings volatility that characterize our industry
Independence, including the ability to represent all of our shareholders and other key stakeholders without any conflicting relationship with any particular constituency | Professional experience and industry expertise considering our evolving strategic and operational plans over time | Ability and willingness to devote sufficient time to carrying out Board duties and responsibilities fully and effectively, particularly as a result of our Bermuda headquarters location | Other attributes of the candidate, our business and strategic conditions, and external factors that the Governance and Human Capital Committee deems appropriate

The Governance and Human Capital Committee has the discretion to weigh these, and other, factors as it deems appropriate.
The relative importance of these factors may vary from candidate to candidate, depending on our evolving circumstances, and
no particular criterion is necessarily applicable to all prospective nominees.
Our Board believes that the backgrounds and qualifications of the directors and director nominees, both individually and
considered as a group, should provide a diverse range of viewpoints, backgrounds, skills, experiences, expertise, and abilities
that will allow the Board to fulfill its responsibilities, taking into account our evolving strategic direction and needs. The
Governance and Human Capital Committee evaluates and discusses these factors at both the Board and committee levels
when carrying out its director selection, recruitment and nomination obligations and also when assessing the performance of
current directors. This assessment is undertaken at least annually.

20 | RenaissanceRe 2026 Proxy Statement |

The Governance and Human Capital Committee may use search firms to identify potential candidates to stand for election to
the Board. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines formalize our commitment to source Board candidates that have a range of
viewpoints, backgrounds, skills, experiences and expertise, and other diverse characteristics.
Annual Board Assessment and Evaluation
The Board recognizes that a robust and constructive evaluation process is an essential part of good corporate governance and
Board effectiveness. Pursuant to its charter, the Governance and Human Capital Committee has responsibility for oversight of
the Board’s annual overall effectiveness reviews, review of individual director performance and similar matters.
Multi-Faceted Evaluation Process

Individual Interviews by Board Chair | At the direction of the Governance and Human Capital Committee, our Non-Executive Chair of the Board facilitates the annual assessment of the effectiveness of the Board and each principal committee of the Board. The Non-Executive Chair of the Board conducts individual interviews with Board members and management, facilitating reviews of individual director effectiveness, as well as of the Board as a whole.
Periodic Use of Independent Third Parties | From time to time, the Board engages independent third parties to review the Board’s practices and procedures and assess its effectiveness.
Committee Self- Evaluations | Each principal committee of the Board performs a comprehensive annual self-assessment as part of the Board’s overall governance effectiveness review and assessment.
Board Chair Assessment | The Chair of the Governance and Human Capital Committee, along with the Board members, reviews the performance of the Non-Executive Chair of the Board.
Incorporation of Feedback | Results are compiled and discussed by the Board and each committee, and changes in practices, Board composition and procedures are recommended by the Governance and Human Capital Committee as necessary.

Director Orientation and Continuing Education
Our Governance and Human Capital Committee oversees the orientation process for new directors. Each new director and
new member of a Board committee participates in a comprehensive orientation program run by management. The orientation
includes presentations by senior management to familiarize the new director with our strategic plan, significant accounting and
risk management factors unique to our business, compliance programs, Code of Ethics and other relevant topics.
We encourage our directors to participate in continuing education programs and reimburse them for reasonable expenses
associated with third-party training programs relating to our business, industry or the discharge of Board duties. We also
provide ongoing education programs on topics relevant to RenaissanceRe and our industry as part of regular Board and
committee meetings, and directors are invited and encouraged to visit our offices to meet with management.

| RenaissanceRe 2026 Proxy Statement | 21

Director and Director Nominee Independence
The Governance and Human Capital Committee has reviewed the independence of each of our current directors and director
nominees and affirmatively determined that each of Drs. Rahmani, Jeworrek and Mester, Mses. Sanders and Trudell and
Messrs. Bushnell, Gibbons, Gidumal, Hennes, Hooley and Klehm are independent. Mr. O’Donnell is not independent because
of his employment as our President and Chief Executive Officer.
The New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) listing standards require that a majority of our directors be independent. For a
director to be considered independent, the Board must determine that the director does not have any direct or indirect material
relationship with us either directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with us. Our
Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that a majority of our directors will meet the NYSE’s listing standards regarding
independence criteria and set forth additional parameters that the Board uses to determine director independence, which we
believe are more stringent than the independence requirements in the NYSE listing standards. In addition, the Board considers
all relevant facts and circumstances known or reported to it in making independence determinations.
In particular, when making its independence determinations, the Governance and Human Capital Committee considered the
following relationships and determined that none of the directors or director nominees involved had a material relationship with
us as a result of these relationships. Mr. Hennes serves as a director of Citigroup. We have current and historical financial
relationships with Citigroup and its subsidiaries and affiliates, including Citigroup acting in manager roles in several of our
securities offerings over the last few years and being a party to letter of credit facilities with us. Ms. Sanders serves as a
director of GuideOne Insurance. From time to time, we have entered into reinsurance contracts with GuideOne, all in the
ordinary course of business on terms available to similarly situated parties. Mr. Gibbons is the Treasurer and a director of EGL,
the parent company of a number of varied businesses in Bermuda, including Coralisle Group Ltd. (“Coralisle”), and a director
of BACL. We have entered into reinsurance contracts with Coralisle which are described under “Certain Relationships and
Related Transactions” below. In addition, we have other immaterial business relationships with a variety of the other
businesses owned by EGL and BACL, relating primarily to local services and procurement in Bermuda, for which we paid
these entities a total of $63,657 in 2025. Mr. Gibbons is not directly involved in the management of Coralisle or any of the other
businesses owned by EGL or BACL with which we do business, and all of the transactions were entered into in the ordinary
course of business on terms available to similarly situated parties. Furthermore, the EGL and BACL entities did not make
payments to, or receive payments from, us in an amount which, in any of the last three fiscal years, exceeded the greater of
$1.0 million or 2% of EGL’s or BACL’s consolidated gross revenues.
Shareholder Nomination Process
Candidates recommended by shareholders for nomination to the Board will be considered and evaluated by the Governance
and Human Capital Committee using the same process and criteria that we use to evaluate other candidates, assuming the
proper procedures for shareholder nominations are followed. The Governance and Human Capital Committee will consider
nominees to the Board recommended by no fewer than 20 shareholders holding in the aggregate not less than 10% of the
outstanding paid-up share capital of RenaissanceRe. Any shareholder recommendation must be sent to our Corporate
Secretary not less than 60 days prior to the scheduled date of the annual general meeting of shareholders and must set forth
for each nominee: (i) the name, age, business address and residence address of the nominee; (ii) the principal occupation or
employment of the nominee; (iii) the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of RenaissanceRe that are owned
beneficially or of record by the nominee; and (iv) any other information relating to the nominee that would be required to be
disclosed in a proxy statement or other filing required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of
directors pursuant to Section 14 of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and the rules
and regulations promulgated thereunder. The written notice must also include the following information with regard to the
shareholders giving the notice:
•the name and record address of such shareholders;
•the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of RenaissanceRe that are owned beneficially or of record by such
shareholders;
•a description of all arrangements or understandings between such shareholders and each proposed nominee and any other
person (including his or her name and address) pursuant to which the nomination(s) are to be made by such shareholders;
•a representation that such shareholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the annual general meeting of
shareholders to nominate the persons named in its notice; and
•any other information relating to such shareholder that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filing.

22 | RenaissanceRe 2026 Proxy Statement |

Such notice must be accompanied by a written consent of each proposed nominee to be named as a nominee and to serve as
a director if elected. The Governance and Human Capital Committee may refuse to acknowledge the nomination of any person
not made in compliance with the foregoing procedure.
The Board’s Role and Key Responsibilities
Strategic Oversight
Our Board believes that long-range strategic issues should be discussed and reviewed at regular Board meetings. Our
Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that the Board review and critique our strategic plan at least annually, with quarterly
reviews of performance in comparison to the financial plan. Senior management and the full Board engage in long-term
strategy discussions at least annually, and the Board and committees regularly receive updates from business function leaders
on our performance against our tactical plans.
Our strategic plan drives the Board’s goal setting in many areas. For example, the goals of each Board committee are tied to
the achievement of the strategic plan and the Governance and Human Capital Committee determines and measures executive
compensation against the achievement of strategic goals and objectives.
Risk Oversight
We consider enterprise-wide risk management to be a key strategic objective and believe that our enterprise-wide risk
management processes and practices help to identify potential events that may affect us; quantify, evaluate and manage the
risks to which we are exposed; and provide reasonable assurance regarding the achievement of corporate objectives. For
each identified and measured risk, we have identified (i) a day-to-day owner and management response, (ii) a process for
monitoring and reporting on the risk, (iii) a senior management committee, and (iv) Board and/or committee oversight. We
believe that this risk management process, along with our culture and focus on enterprise-wide risk management, ensures
effective risk oversight by our Board.

| RenaissanceRe 2026 Proxy Statement | 23

Risk Management Process

|  | BOARD |  |
| •The Board is responsible for overseeing enterprise-wide risk management and is actively involved in the monitoring of risks that could affect us. •The members of the Board have direct access to, and receive regular reports from, the senior executives and other officers responsible for identifying and monitoring our risks, and coordinating enterprise-wide risk management, including our Group Chief Risk Officer, Chief Portfolio Officer, Group Chief Underwriting Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Group General Counsel, each of whom reports directly to our Chief Executive Officer, as well as other senior personnel such as our Chief Investment Officer, Chief Compliance Officer, Chief Accounting Officer, Global Corporate Controller and Head of Internal Audit. The Board also receives regular reports from the Operational Risk and Resilience Committee, which includes members of senior management, compliance professionals and others and oversees policies and procedures relating to accounting, financial reporting, internal controls, legal and regulatory matters, and complex transactions, among other matters. •The Board delegates certain of its risk management responsibilities to its committees as set forth in the committee charters and described under “Committees of the Board” below, with key risks set forth below. •The Non-Executive Chair of the Board participates in meetings of each committee from time to time on an ex officio basis and monitors the identification of risks or other matters that might require cross-committee coordination and collaboration or the attention of the full Board. |

|  |  |  | COMMITTEES |  |  |  |
| •Each committee regularly receives and discusses materials from the other committees, and we believe this allows the directors to be aware of the various risks across the Company. •Each committee performs a comprehensive annual self-assessment as part of the Board’s overall governance effectiveness review and assessment, which reflects the committees’ evaluation of our corporate risk management practices and, if applicable, the identification of potential new oversight needs in light of changes in our strategy, operations or business environment. •Each committee considers the self-assessment and identified new oversight needs when conducting their annual charter reviews and recommending changes to the charters. |
| Key Risks Overseen |
| Audit Committee |  | Governance and Human Capital |  | Investment and Risk Management Committee |
| •Financial statements integrity and reporting •Cybersecurity and business continuity •Legal, regulatory and compliance •Tax compliance •Financial risk management |  | •Executive and employee compensation •Succession planning (executive and director) •Diversity, equity and inclusion, talent development, CSR and similar ESG matters •Governance structure and processes •Shareholder concerns |  | •Enterprise-wide risk management framework •Investment strategies and risk limits •Key financial risk or exposures (including climate risk) •Insurance risk •Capital and liquidity requirements |

|  | MANAGEMENT |  |
| •At least annually, our Group Chief Risk Officer presents a comprehensive risk management overview to the Board to demonstrate management coverage and Board oversight of significant identified risks. This overview outlines our procedures for the identification and measurement of, response to, and monitoring and reporting of risk. •Management representatives from our risk, legal, regulatory, compliance, human resources, treasury, finance, investments, reserving, information security, accounting and internal audit functions: ◦Regularly report to the Board and each committee at quarterly scheduled sessions, including at least annually to the Governance and Human Capital Committee regarding any potential risks of our compensation policies and practices; and ◦Separately meet with, and are interviewed by, our committees in executive sessions. |

24 | RenaissanceRe 2026 Proxy Statement |

Board Oversight of Sustainability
We have an integrated approach to sustainability governance, with cross-collaboration among our Board committees and
management. Our Board and its committees are actively engaged in the oversight of sustainability initiatives and our
management provides regular reports on progress and developments.
The Governance and Human Capital Committee, pursuant to its charter, is charged with overseeing, monitoring and reviewing
our sustainability policies, programs and practices. This oversight includes health and safety, diversity, equity and inclusion and
related matters. Our dedicated sustainability team reports to the Governance and Human Capital Committee regularly, and to
the full Board at least annually, on our sustainability initiatives and progress on implementation of our sustainability strategy. In
addition, the Governance and Human Capital Committee is actively engaged in the oversight of our employees, work
environment, diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives and compensation practices, and receives regular updates from
management on progress and developments, and our executive management team and Governance and Human Capital
Committee receive regular reports on progress against our annual human resources tactical plans.
The consideration of the impacts of climate change is integral to our enterprise-wide risk management process. Certain
aspects of sustainability are monitored by the full Board or other committees. For example, the Investment and Risk
Management Committee is charged with overseeing key financial risks, such as the financial risk of climate change. We have
been progressively integrating the consideration of the financial risk of climate change into our governance frameworks, risk
management processes and business strategies over the past several years.
Cross-Committee Risk and Strategy Oversight Collaboration
At their quarterly meetings, each committee reviews and discusses its current and future agendas in the context of our
strategic plan and any new Company, industry or market information and identifies matters that should be discussed with other
committees or the full Board. In addition, each principal committee reports to the full Board at each quarterly Board meeting.
Our Audit, Governance and Human Capital, and Investment and Risk Management Committees coordinate their oversight of
our financial and operating risks and routinely collaborate to address specific matters requiring coordination and cross-
committee oversight. We believe that these collaborative efforts sustain high levels of enterprise-wide risk management and
facilitate sound corporate governance.
Executive Succession Planning
We believe that executive succession planning and leadership development are critical to our long-term success and are key
to effective risk oversight and execution of our strategy. Our succession planning programs are designed to ensure that the
Board has appropriate oversight. On behalf of the Board, our Governance and Human Capital Committee collaborates with our
Chief Executive Officer in the development and monitoring of our programs for long-term executive succession, generally on a
quarterly basis. Our Board, in coordination with the Governance and Human Capital Committee, also maintains an emergency
succession plan, which is intended to enable us to respond quickly to unexpected vacancies to maintain the continuity of our
business operations and minimize disruptions.
The Governance and Human Capital Committee dedicates at least one meeting each calendar year to an in-depth review of
talent development plans, including development plans for internal succession candidates and identification of potential
external succession candidates. Updates to the executive succession plan are made as necessary.
To further support the succession planning process, the Governance and Human Capital Committee is regularly presented
with information on the Company’s employee population, ranging from the results of engagement surveys to detailed
succession plans for senior or critical roles. Together, the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Human Resources Officer and the
management governance committee identify individuals who they believe have demonstrated potential to grow into senior
executive positions and review these individuals with the Governance and Human Capital Committee. The careers of these
individuals are monitored to ensure that over time they have appropriate exposure both to the Board and to our business.
These individuals interact with our Board in various ways, including through participation in Board meetings and other Board-
related activities and meetings with individual directors. The Governance and Human Capital Committee regularly briefs the full
Board on these matters and has overseen recent changes to our leadership structure in accordance with our succession
planning processes.

Board Structure and Processes
Our Commitment to Effective Corporate Governance
Our Board and management have a strong commitment to effective corporate governance. We believe we have a
comprehensive corporate governance framework which takes into account applicable regulatory requirements and best
practices. The key components of this framework are set forth in the following documents:
•our Bye-laws;
•our Corporate Governance Guidelines;
•our Code of Ethics;
•our Audit Committee Charter;
•our Governance and Human Capital Committee Charter; and
•our Investment and Risk Management Committee Charter.
The Board regularly reviews corporate governance developments and modifies our Corporate Governance Guidelines, Code
of Ethics, committee charters and key Board practices when it believes modifications are warranted. A copy of each of these
documents is published on our website at www.renre.com under “Investors—Corporate Governance,” except our Bye-laws,
which are filed with the SEC and can be found on the SEC website at www.sec.gov. Each of these documents is available in
print to any shareholder upon request.

| Governance Highlights •In May 2026, we anticipate: ◦rotating the Non-Executive Chair of the Board from Mr. Gibbons, who has served in that role since 2016, to Mr. Klehm, who has significant experience as a member of the Board; ◦adding Stephen C. Hooley to the Board, our fourth new director in the last four years, illustrating our commitment to board refreshment and thoughtful Board composition as the Company evolves; and ◦rotating members of our committees and chair assignments to promote director experience and a variety of perspectives across the committees. •In November 2024, we streamlined our Board committee structure by combining multiple special purpose committees into one Standing Committee with authority to approve certain strategic transactions, securities offerings and transition matters. |

Code of Ethics
Our Code of Ethics applies to all of our directors and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial
officer and principal accounting officer, and all of our employees performing financial or accounting functions. Our Code of
Ethics is available without charge on our website, www.renre.com, under “Investors—Corporate Governance.” We will also
provide a printed copy of our Code of Ethics to any shareholder upon request. We intend to disclose any amendments to our
Code of Ethics by posting them on our website. Any waivers of our Code of Ethics applicable to our directors, principal
executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, controller and other executive officers who perform
similar functions will be disclosed by filing a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC.

26 | RenaissanceRe 2026 Proxy Statement |

Insider Trading Policy
We have adopted an insider trading policy that outlines the procedures which employees, officers, directors, independent
contractors and consultants of the Company must follow to ensure compliance with U.S. rules related to disclosure and insider
trading. In addition, our insider trading policy provides that the Company will not trade in RenaissanceRe securities in violation
of applicable securities laws or stock exchange listing standards. A copy of the Company’s insider trading policy has been filed
as Exhibit 19.1 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Board Structure and Engagement
Our Board regularly evaluates its structure to ensure that it is best serving the interests of the Company and our shareholders.
The Governance and Human Capital Committee is responsible for overseeing overall Board effectiveness, and regularly
discusses the suitability of the Board’s structure for the Company at its meetings. The Board currently maintains a classified
board structure led by an independent, Non-Executive Chair, similar to certain of our peers in the industry. The Board has
determined that its current classified structure remains appropriate and provides considerable value due to the continuity and
stability that it creates by staggering Board member terms and preventing significant board turnover in a single year. The
Board believes that a classified board structure is beneficial to retaining a focus on value creation for shareholders over the
long-term, rather than the short-term. This is particularly important given the complexities of the business and unique market
cycles and earnings volatility in the industry in which we operate. Our Board believes that its structure does not hinder our
ability to recruit highly-qualified directors, diminish director accountability or limit investor dialogue. We regularly engage with
shareholders on our classified Board structure, share relevant feedback with the entire Board, and have continued to evolve
our governance, compensation and sustainability practices in response to feedback received over the past several years.
Pursuant to our Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Chair of the Board may be an officer/director or an outside director and
may or may not be the Chief Executive Officer, at the option of the Board. The Board believes it should be free to make these
determinations depending on what it believes is best for the Company and our shareholders in light of all the circumstances. At
this time, the Board has determined that it is appropriate to separate the roles of Chair and Chief Executive Officer and to have
a Non-Executive Chair of the Board. The Board believes that having an independent director serve as Non-Executive Chair of
the Board is in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders at this time and that this structure currently assists the
independent directors in the oversight of the Company and facilitates participation of the independent directors in setting
agendas and establishing priorities and procedures for the work of the Board.
Role of the Non-Executive Chair of the Board
Currently, Mr. Gibbons serves as the Non-Executive Chair of the Board. Following the Annual Meeting, Mr. Klehm will serve as
the Non-Executive Chair of the Board.
In addition to chairing each meeting of the Board, the Non-Executive Chair of the Board has significant responsibilities,
including: (i) having the authority to call meetings of the Board; (ii) setting the agendas for Board meetings and executive
sessions to ensure that Board members receive the information necessary to fulfill the Board’s primary responsibilities; (iii)
chairing executive sessions of the independent directors; (iv) briefing the Chief Executive Officer on issues that arise in the
executive sessions, as appropriate; (v) facilitating discussion among the independent directors on key issues and concerns
that arise outside of Board meetings and serving as a non-exclusive conduit to communicate views, concerns and issues of
the independent directors to the Chief Executive Officer; (vi) interviewing candidates for directorship; (vii) facilitating the
assessment of the Board’s effectiveness, at the direction of the Governance and Human Capital Committee; and (viii) together
or in coordination with the Chief Executive Officer, representing the organization in external interactions with shareholders,
employees and other stakeholders.
The Non-Executive Chair of the Board typically does not serve as a member of the Board’s three principal committees (the
Audit Committee, the Governance and Human Capital Committee, and the Investment and Risk Management Committee), but
rather attends such meetings and other functions of the committees on an ex officio basis as warranted by the facts and
circumstances. The Non-Executive Chair of the Board serves as a member of the Standing Committee, which meets on an as-
needed basis.

Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). No executive officer of the Company served on any board of directors or

Special Purpose Committee
Standing Committee
The Board has created and authorized the Standing Committee, which currently consists of Dr. Jeworrek, Mr. Gibbons and Mr.
O’Donnell (Chair), to consider, approve and act on behalf of the full Board with respect to certain matters, including certain
strategic investments, offerings pursuant to our shelf registration program, and any additional authorizations that may be
granted to the Standing Committee by the Board in the future.
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
We have adopted a written policy with respect to the review, approval and ratification of transactions with related persons. The
policy covers, among other things, transactions between us and any of our executive officers, directors, nominees for director,
any of their immediate family members or any other related persons as defined in Item 404 of Regulation S-K. Each
transaction covered by this policy is reviewed by the Governance and Human Capital Committee to determine whether the
transaction is in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders. Pursuant to the policy, our Governance and Human
Capital Committee also conducts a reasonable prior review and oversight of all related-party transactions required to be
disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K for potential conflicts of interest, including to determine whether any such
transaction is inconsistent with the interests of the Company and our shareholders. The transactions described below include
certain transactions we have entered into with parties that are, or could be deemed to be, related to us.

| RenaissanceRe 2026 Proxy Statement | 31

Relationship with BlackRock, Inc.
BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”) reported a beneficial ownership interest of more than 5% of our common shares as of
December 31, 2023 and we believe continues to beneficially own more than 5% of our common shares outstanding. Affiliates
of BlackRock provide investment management, risk analytics, investment accounting, fund accounting and administrative
services to us. During 2025, we incurred $10.1 million in fees relating to these services, and we expect to incur slightly higher
fees in 2026 due to additional assets under management. These fees were and are expected to be at then-prevailing market
rates determined pursuant to arm’s-length negotiations between us and such affiliates.
Relationship with State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company
State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company (“State Farm”) reported a beneficial ownership interest of more than 5% of
our common shares as of July 24, 2025. From time to time we have entered into, and expect in the future to enter into,
reinsurance transactions with State Farm in the ordinary course of business on terms available to similarly situated parties. In
2025, we recorded reinsurance premiums of $51.3 million from State Farm and its subsidiaries and our insurance subsidiaries
paid claims on such reinsurance to State Farm and its subsidiaries of $46.8 million. In 2026, we expect to record
approximately $45.3 million i n reinsurance premiums from State Farm. State Farm is also an investor in RenaissanceRe-
managed vehicles Top Layer Reinsurance Ltd., DaVinciRe Holdings Ltd. and Fontana Holdings L.P. and its subsidiaries.
Use of Company Aircraft
Pursuant to their employment agreements, members of our management governance committee, which consists of Messrs.
O’Donnell, Qutub, Curtis and Marra, and Ms. Bender, are permitted business use and a limited amount of Company-funded
personal use (with a value up to the aggregate incremental cost to us of $85,000 each) of our fractional interest program with
NetJets Aviation Inc. (“NetJets”). Since 2020, in light of concerns for safety and continuing commercial travel limitations in
Bermuda, the Governance and Human Capital Committee adopted a policy allowing our management governance committee
members additional Company-funded personal use of our NetJets program. The aggregate incremental cost to us of any
personal use for named executive officers is included in the 2025 Summary Compensation Table below. Our executive officers
pay imputed income tax on the value of these benefits and are not entitled to reimbursements of taxes with respect to this
personal usage. In addition, Messrs. O’Donnell, Curtis and Qutub have each entered into an aircraft use agreement with us
which allows them to use our fractional interest program with NetJets for additional travel beyond that which is provided for in
their employment arrangements or as otherwise authorized by the Governance and Human Capital Committee, provided that
they pay for such use in advance of any trip at the fully loaded variable rate (which rate represents our aggregate incremental
cost of such use within the meaning of Regulation S-K and the rules and other guidance of the Commission). They must
maintain a deposit with us from which we are authorized to withdraw funds in order to satisfy any amounts owed under the
agreement. The form of aircraft use agreement was approved by the Governance and Human Capital Committee. None of our
executive officers had any additional personal use of the aircraft interest for travel during 2025 for which they were required to
reimburse us. For additional information regarding our executive officers’ use of our corporate aircraft, see “Other Benefits and
Perquisites” below.
Housing Arrangements with Executive Officers
As discussed under “Other Benefits and Perquisites” below, we provide housing allowances to certain of our named executive
officers, as well as to other executive officers and employees. The amount of the housing allowance is included in the 2025
Summary Compensation Table for each named executive officer (see “All Other Compensation Table” below). Our executive
officers pay imputed income tax on the value of these benefits, though Mr. O’Donnell and Mr. Qutub are partially reimbursed
for additional taxes incurred with respect to their housing allowances as a result of the application of the foreign income tax
exclusion and stacking rules under the Internal Revenue Code. The reimbursement is intended to place Mr. O’Donnell and Mr.
Qutub in the same tax position they would have been placed absent the impact of the stacking rules under the Internal
Revenue Code. In July 2025, one of our subsidiaries sold a property it owned in Bermuda to Mr. O’Donnell’s spouse. In
connection with the sale we paid all closing costs, of which $0.6 million is reflected in the “2025 All Other Compensation Table”
for Mr. O’Donnell, and Mr. O’Donnell’s spouse paid us a purchase price o f $15.8 million. The purchase price was at a market
rate, supported by an independent appraisal. Previously, we leased this property to Mr. O’Donnell for his Bermuda residence.
The lease was at market rates, consistent with his historical housing benefits. Also, in 2025, one of our subsidiaries acquired a
property in Bermuda previously subject to a lease and subsequently leased this property to Ms. Bender for her Bermuda
residence at market rates, consistent with her historical housing benefits.

Charitable Donations
RenaissanceRe provides support to various charitable organizations in Bermuda and other communities in which we operate,
including organizations that support insurance industry education and training, crime prevention, substance abuse prevention,
affordable housing and educational assistance. As part of our efforts, we match donations made by our employees to
appropriately registered charities up to certain maximum amounts and make direct charitable contributions. Certain of our
executive officers and directors, director nominees, and spouses of certain of these persons, serve and have served as
directors, officers or trustees of some of these organizations. We did not contribute more than $120,000 to any one charity in
2025 for which any of our executive officers and directors, director nominees and spouses of certain of these persons served
as a director, officer or trustee.

Director Compensation
2025 Director Compensation Table
The following table sets forth information concerning compensation paid to each director who served on the Board during
2025, other than Mr. O’Donnell, who is not separately compensated for his service on our Board and whose compensation as
our President and Chief Executive Officer is set forth under “2025 Summary Compensation Table” below:

Name | Fees Earned or Paid in Cash(1) ($) | Stock Awards(2) ($) | Total ($)
David C. Bushnell | 125,000 | 164,908 | 289,908
James L. Gibbons | 190,000 | 314,847 | 504,847
Shyam Gidumal | 125,000 | 164,908 | 289,908
Duncan P. Hennes | 160,000 | 164,908 | 324,908
Torsten Jeworrek | 125,000 | 164,908 | 289,908
Henry Klehm III | 160,000 | 164,908 | 324,908
Loretta J. Mester | 125,000 | 164,908 | 289,908
Valerie Rahmani | 125,000 | 164,908 | 289,908
Carol P. Sanders | 160,000 | 164,908 | 324,908
Cynthia Trudell | 125,000 | 164,908 | 289,908

(1)Amounts shown reflect the annual retainer and annual committee chair retainers, described below.
(2)The amounts in this column represent the aggregate grant date fair value of time-vested restricted shares granted to our non-employee
directors in 2025, computed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification
(“ASC”) Topic 718, excluding the effect of estimated forfeitures. The assumptions made in the valuation of stock awards are discussed in
Note 17. (Stock Incentive Compensation and Employee Benefit Plans) of our 2025 Form 10-K. These values do not represent the actual
value the recipient will or has received from the award. On March 1, 2025, each of Messrs. Bushnell, Gidumal, Hennes and Klehm, Drs.
Jeworrek, Mester and Rahmani, and Mses. Sanders and Trudell, were awarded 694 restricted shares, and Mr. Gibbons was awarded
1,325 restricted shares. All of the restricted shares awarded to our non-employee directors in 2025 are scheduled to vest in three
substantially equal annual installments beginning on March 1, 2026, subject to the director’s continued service through the applicable
vesting date. The aggregate number of stock awards outstanding as of December 31, 2025 for each non-employee director was as
follows: Mr. Gibbons: 2,749 restricted shares; Dr. Jeworrek; 1,447 restricted shares; Messrs. Bushnell, Gidumal, Hennes and Klehm,
Mses. Sanders and Trudell, and Dr. Rahmani: 1,439 restricted shares each; and Dr. Mester: 1,090 restricted shares.
Director Compensation Program
The Governance and Human Capital Committee reviews director compensation annually. While the Governance and Human
Capital Committee does not target specific director pay levels against market data, with the assistance of Mercer (U.S.) Inc.
(“Mercer”), its independent compensation consultant, the Governance and Human Capital Committee analyzes the
competitiveness of our director compensation using market data for non-employee directors of the same group of peer
companies used to evaluate executive compensation (see “The Market for Talent” below). The Governance and Human
Capital Committee reviews both the structure and amount of non-employee director compensation paid at these peer
companies. In addition, since the talent market for directors is broader than the market for executives, the Governance and
Human Capital Committee also reviews director compensation among companies in the S&P 500 indices. The Governance
and Human Capital Committee did not make any changes to non-executive director compensation in connection with its
annual 2025 review.

34 | RenaissanceRe 2026 Proxy Statement |

Annual Cash Retainers. During 2025, each of our non-employee directors other than the Non-Executive Chair of the Board
received an annual cash retainer of $125,000. Our Non-Executive Chair of the Board received an annual cash retainer of
$190,000. In addition, the Chairs of our Audit Committee, Governance and Human Capital Committee, and Investment and
Risk Management Committee each received a committee chair cash retainer of $35,000. These amounts were consistent with
the amounts paid in 2024. If a non-employee director joins the Board after the start of the fiscal year, the director will be paid a
prorated retainer based on the number of regularly scheduled Board meetings anticipated to be attended as director, subject to
a minimum of 50% of the annual retainer fee.
We reimburse all directors for expenses incurred in connection with service on the Board, including reimbursement of
expenses incurred in connection with attending educational seminars. The Non-Executive Chair of the Board is reimbursed
for expenses incurred in connection with attending certain industry events and functions. Generally, spousal travel on our
corporate aircraft in connection with a business-related trip of a director is permitted, with spousal travel added to the
director’s reported U.S. federal income, as applicable, based on the standard industry fare level valuation method. There is
no incremental cost to us of providing this benefit and we do not reimburse the directors for the additional tax associated
with this benefit.
Equity Awards. Our Governance and Human Capital Committee weighs directors’ compensation heavily in equity-based
incentive awards to further align their interests with the long-term interests of our shareholders. During 2025, each non-
employee director other than the Non-Executive Chair of the Board received a grant of restricted shares valued at
approximately $165,000, and the Non-Executive Chair of the Board received a grant of restricted shares valued at
approximately $315,000. The values of these grants were consistent with the 2024 grants. Restricted shares granted to our
non-employee directors generally vest in equal annual installments over three years. These restricted shares generally
accelerate and vest on a director’s separation from service on the Board unless a director is requested to depart the Board for
cause, in which case such restricted shares are forfeited. Dividends are paid currently on time-vested restricted shares. Non-
employee directors who start mid-year receive a full-value annual restricted stock grant. The date of grant for such awards will
be the director’s start date, and the awards will vest on the same dates as the regular director grants.
Limitation on Non-Employee Director Compensation. Pursuant to the RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd. 2016 Long-Term
Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2016 LTI Plan”), the maximum value of any awards granted to any non-employee director in
any one calendar year, taken together with any cash fees paid to such non-employee director during such calendar year, may
not exceed $1,500,000.
Director Equity Ownership Policy; No Hedging or Pledging
Pursuant to our equity ownership policy for independent directors, which is designed to further our goal of aligning the interests
of our directors and shareholders, each of our independent directors is required to hold common shares (including vested and
unvested restricted shares) having a value equal to five times their then-current annual cash retainer or such lesser amount as
the director has been granted to date. Our independent directors generally are not permitted to sell any of the equity granted to
them unless they have met their ownership requirements. As of December 31, 2025, all of our independent directors had
satisfied their ownership requirements, other than Dr. Jeworrek, who did not join the Company until May 9, 2023, and Dr.
Mester, who did not join the Company until November 6, 2024. However, Drs. Jeworrek and Mester are in compliance with our
guidelines because they are not required to purchase shares in the open market in order to satisfy their ownership
requirements.
Our directors are subject to our anti-hedging, anti-pledging and other trading policies, which prohibit transactions in our
securities outside of designated “window” periods (except pursuant to previously adopted and approved Rule 10b5-1 plans),
hedging the market value of any of our securities, and short sales of, or margin loans on, our securities.

Executive Compensation

| PROPOSAL 2 |
| Advisory Vote on the Compensation of Our Named Executive Officers
|  | The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote FOR the approval of the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and narrative discussion contained in this proxy statement.

Overview of Proposal
We are submitting to our shareholders an advisory vote, commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal, to approve the
compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K.
This advisory vote gives shareholders a mechanism to convey their views about our executive compensation program and
policies. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our
named executive officers and the philosophy, policies and practices described in this proxy statement. The following resolution
will be submitted for a shareholder vote at our Annual Meeting:
“RESOLVED, that the shareholders of the Company approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s
named executive officers, as disclosed in the proxy statement for the Company’s Annual General Meeting pursuant to Item 402
of Regulation S-K, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and narrative discussion.”
We currently hold say-on-pay votes annually, and we expect to hold the next such vote at our 2027 Annual Meeting.
The Board urges you to review carefully the information under the heading “Executive Compensation” in this proxy statement
and to vote, on an advisory basis, to approve the compensation of our named executive officers. Although your vote on
executive compensation is not binding on the Board or the Company, the Board values the views of the Company’s
shareholders. The Board and the Governance and Human Capital Committee will review the results of the vote and take them
into consideration in addressing future compensation policies and decisions.
Approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote
thereon.

Executive Summary
Our Strategy and Compensation Philosophy
RenaissanceRe is a global provider of reinsurance and insurance. Our mission is to match desirable risk with efficient capital,
and our vision is to be the best underwriter. We believe that this will allow us to produce superior returns for our shareholders
over the long term, and enable our purpose to protect communities and enable prosperity. We seek to accomplish these goals
by delivering a value proposition composed of leadership, expertise and partnership, through our operation as an integrated
system of three competitive advantages: superior risk selection, superior customer relationships and superior capital
management.
We have a team-based approach to leading, managing and operating the Company. Our executives develop and implement
our strategy on a Company-wide basis, in addition to being responsible for their specific business units and functions. Our
executive compensation program is designed to reflect this approach, rewarding executives based on overall Company
performance.

Our executive compensation program is designed to: •support our strategy and risk management practices; •align the interests of our executives with the long-term interests of our shareholders; •encourage operational and financial consistency over the market cycles and earnings volatility that are inherent and unique to our industry; and •promote our team-based approach. |  | We do this by: •making a meaningful portion of named executive officer compensation at-risk pay through annual incentive bonuses and long-term incentive awards; •rewarding our named executive officers based primarily on our overall performance rather than the performance of individual business units or functions; and •requiring our named executive officers to own a significant number of our shares and prohibiting pledging, hedging and similar transactions of our shares.

Over the last several years, we have executed on our multi-year strategy to transform our business and position
RenaissanceRe to succeed in the rapidly evolving reinsurance market. In 2023 and 2024, we acquired and successfully
integrated Validus, achieving the increased scale which we believe positions us among the five largest global property and
casualty reinsurers. In 2025, we focused on building on the successful integration of Validus with an emphasis on maintaining
our underwriting portfolio and optimizing our operations. We achieved our goals by enhancing our access to risk, maintaining
our best in class underwriting capabilities, preserving underwriting margin, and continuing to grow our investment income and
fee income generating business.
Over the last 10 years, we have made key strategic decisions to build the capabilities and scale that we believe will allow us to
generate superior returns in an evolving marketplace. We have differentiated and selectively grown our underwriting portfolio in
response to market conditions and the ongoing impacts of climate change. Over time, we have successfully grown our three
principal drivers of profit: underwriting income; fee income; and investment income. We believe the successful implementation
of our strategy is a reflection of the experience and skill of our leadership, including our named executive officers, along with
our superior underwriting expertise. With these changes and our general increase in scale, we have become a more complex
organization, requiring enhanced management and Board oversight to appropriately align our enterprise risk management to
maximize shareholder returns and support the long-term sustainability of the Company.

2025 Executive Compensation Highlights
To achieve the goals of our executive compensation program, the Governance and Human Capital Committee ties a significant
portion of the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer and other named executive officers to the Company’s short- and
long-term performance. We measure success against a mix of key performance metrics, the majority of which are objectively
measurable. We believe this mix of metrics aligns the interests of our executives and shareholders and rewards our Chief
Executive Officer and other named executive officers for delivering strong performance on our strategic plan without
incentivizing excessive risk taking.
2025 Annual Target Pay Mix

The Governance and Human Capital Committee does not mandate a specific allocation among the compensation
components, but believes that a majority of total direct compensation should be at-risk and subject to the achievement of
performance objectives and/or our stock price performance as well as service-based vesting criteria. Mr. O’Donnell has the
highest overall percentage of performance-based and at-risk pay, followed by the other named executive officers, who report to
Mr. O’Donnell and are members of our management governance committee, along with Mr. O’Donnell.
The Governance and Human Capital Committee conducted an in-depth assessment of the competitive pay environment in
2025 with input from its independent compensation consultant, Mercer, and determined that the compensation program
continued to reflect the needs of the Company, with the majority of executive pay being at-risk and subject to successful
execution against pre-set performance metrics. The annual target pay mixes for the named executive officers were generally
consistent with the prior year, with slight increases in percentage of pay at-risk pay for some of our named executive officers.
The details of the components of the pay mix are discussed below under “Principal Components of Our Executive
Compensation Program.”
As part of its ongoing review of the compensation of our named executive officers, in 2026, the Governance and Human
Capital Committee increased the percentage of each named executive officers’ annual target pay mix that is tied to the
achievement of pre-established performance objectives by increasing the portion of the long-term incentive award delivered in
performance shares from 50% to 60% for awards made in 2026. This change was made to further align our named executive
officers’ compensation with long-term value creation.

Link Between Pay and Performance for 2025
When reviewing the performance and considering the compensation of our named executive officers, the Governance and
Human Capital Committee considers our strategic, operational and financial performance over both the short and long term.
The Governance and Human Capital Committee evaluates and sets performance goals that are designed to be rigorous, with
the goals set at the time of grant for all performance-based compensation.
In 2025, we benefited from strong execution of our consistent long-term strategy. We believe that we realized the benefits of
our increased scale and diversification, delivering strong financial results across all three drivers of profit. We saw strong
performance against our strategic plan, exceeded our target Adjusted Operating ROE and met our gross premiums written
target for the year. As a result, our 2025 annual incentive bonuses paid out at 175% of target.
For metrics applicable to our 2023 performance share awards, we achieved above-target performance on both metrics –
average change in book value per common share plus change in accumulated dividends over the three-year performance
cycle and three-year average underwriting expense ratio rank compared to peers. As a result, our performance shares for the
2023 to 2025 performance period paid out at 179% of target.

Executive Compensation Best Practices
We remain committed to continually reviewing and improving our executive compensation program to reflect the views of our
shareholders and implement commonly-viewed best practices. Some highlights of the best practices we have implemented in
our executive compensation program include the following:

|  | Tie Pay to Performance, with a Goal-Setting Process Aligned to Shareholder Returns
| Robust Share Ownership Guidelines
| Clawback Policy for Incentive Compensation
| Minimum Vesting Periods for Equity Awards
| Independent Compensation Consultant
| Active Shareholder Engagement
| Maximum Payout Cap for Long-Term Incentives and Annual Incentive Bonus
| Double-Trigger Severance and Vesting in the Event of a Change in Control
| Fixed Share Reserve for Equity Awards

|  | No Tax Gross-ups for Excise Taxes or Perquisites*
| No Special Retirement Arrangements for Executive Officers
| No Option or Stock Appreciation Rights Repricing
| No Hedging, Pledging or Unapproved Trading Plans
| No Dividends or Dividend Equivalents Paid on Unvested Performance Shares
| No Vesting of Performance Shares if Threshold Performance Not Met
| *Excludes tax reimbursements provided to all employees for taxes incurred when required to work in a tax jurisdiction other than their primary work jurisdiction and, for Mr. O’Donnell and Mr. Qutub only, tax reimbursements for additional taxes incurred on their housing allowances as a result of the application of the foreign income tax exclusion and stacking rules under the Internal Revenue Code.

Shareholder Engagement
We recognize the value of engaging in a dialogue with our shareholders to solicit their views and input. Our ongoing
engagement includes interactions led by our investor relations team with many of our largest shareholders, and regular
participation by members of our executive leadership in investor conferences. Members of senior management also engage
with investors in meetings that are primarily focused on corporate governance, executive compensation, and sustainability
topics, some of which may include participation by an independent director. Our Board appreciates the insights gained in these
discussions and receives a summary of shareholder engagement, including shareholder feedback, at each quarterly Board
meeting. The Governance and Human Capital Committee is also provided with a detailed summary of direct shareholder
communications at each quarterly committee meeting.

Over the course of 2025, we reached out to a broad group of our shareholders
We engaged with shareholders representing approximately 54% of shares outstanding.
We engaged with shareholders in multiple ways |  | We discussed a number of topics with shareholders
| ■Financial performance and Three Drivers of Profit ■Capital management framework ■Market outlook ■Purpose and long-term strategy, including integration of Validus ■Executive compensation, including program design and shareholders’ rationale for advisory say-on-pay votes ■Board composition and refreshment ■Sustainability strategy ■Human capital and culture

Our Say-on-Pay Vote
We believe the results of the annual advisory “say-on-pay” vote at our 2025
Annual Meeting, where approximately 95% of the votes cast were in support of
the compensation of our named executive officers, indicate strong shareholder
support of our program. After considering the 2025 say-on-pay results as well as
the feedback received during our engagement with shareholders, the
Governance and Human Capital Committee determined that the Company’s
executive compensation philosophy and objectives and compensation elements
continued to be appropriate and did not make any significant changes to the
Company’s executive compensation program in response to the 2025 say-on-pay
vote.
95%

Peer Group
The Market for Talent
Our ability to attract and retain talented executive officers is critical to achieving our strategic goals. We believe that the pool of
candidates that meet our criteria is small and that competition for talent continues to increase.
While the Governance and Human Capital Committee does not target specific market positioning for compensation component
levels or total compensation of the named executive officers, it periodically assesses the competitiveness of the compensation
levels of our named executive officers and considers the overall competitive market in which we operate. With the assistance
of management and its independent compensation consultant, Mercer, the Governance and Human Capital Committee uses
market data of a group of peer companies to conduct this assessment.
Peer Selection
The Governance and Human Capital Committee dedicates significant time and effort to developing a relevant compensation
peer group for the Company and works with Mercer and management to regularly review and assess the peer group to
evaluate its continued applicability. Our compensation peer group is used to analyze and make decisions regarding our
executive compensation program and levels. It is composed of companies with significant reinsurance and insurance
operations and risk portfolios that are comparable to ours, taking into account the criteria described below.
In selecting peers, the Governance and Human Capital Committee considers the following key criteria:
Key Criteria When Identifying Peer Group Companies

Companies that have a similar business and whose results are driven by a similar risk portfolio |  | •The companies in our compensation peer group are companies with which we compete for business. •The companies are in risk-bearing businesses with significant reinsurance operations and risk portfolios, with similar financial characteristics. •To achieve an adequate sample size, the compensation peer group includes reinsurers and talent competitors that primarily focus on property and casualty insurance.
Company size, by revenue and market capitalization |  | •We consider both the revenue and market capitalization of prospective peer companies. •Our market presence and financial position are broadly comparable with our compensation peer group as a whole and with the individual companies that comprise it. •We review the competitive pay information for all companies individually, rather than relying on average or other summary statistics that may be distorted by outliers, to better understand the full distribution of market compensation data.
Companies we compete with for qualified executive talent |  | •The companies in our compensation peer group are companies with which we compete for executive talent and from which we seek to attract qualified executives. •The companies have similar professional skill and talent needs. •We consider companies who select us for inclusion in their peer group.
Companies located in similar jurisdictions |  | •Companies in similar jurisdictions to us are in competitive pay markets with similar pay practices. •While our Bermuda location means that we compete in a unique geographic talent market, we also compete for executive talent with U.S.-based companies.
Consistency from year-to-year |  | •We seek to maintain consistency in the peer group from year-to-year, to the extent possible and appropriate to support long-term alignment of goal measurement.

46 | RenaissanceRe 2026 Proxy Statement |

Each year, in consultation with Mercer, the Governance and Human Capital Committee conducts a review and assessment of
our existing peer group, including consideration of our peer selection criteria. In 2024, following this review, and considering
factors such as the Company’s larger size after the acquisition of Validus, the Governance and Human Capital Committee
determined the composition of our compensation peer group to be used to monitor and evaluate compensation trends and
formulate plans for our executive compensation program for 2025. Argo Group International Corporation was removed
following its acquisition by Brookfield Reinsurance Ltd. and Greenlight Capital Re was removed due to its smaller size relative
to the Company. The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc., Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated, CNA Financial
Corporation, and Cincinnati Financial Corporation were added given their alignment with the Company’s selection criteria, in
particular their size, position in the industry, and general peer alignment and overlap. Following its 2025 peer group review, the
Governance and Human Capital Committee determined that it would not make any changes to our compensation peer group
which will be used to inform 2026 compensation decisions. Executive compensation determinations made for 2025 were
based on the peer group identified below:

| Compensation Peer Group |
| •American Financial Group, Inc. •Arch Capital Group Ltd. •AXIS Capital Holdings Limited •Cincinnati Financial Corporation •CNA Financial Corporation •Enstar Group Limited •Everest Group, Ltd. | •Markel Group Inc. •Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated •Selective Insurance Group, Inc. •SiriusPoint Ltd. •The Hanover Insurance Group, Inc. •The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. •W. R. Berkley Corporation |

Due to industry consolidation, the number of standalone publicly traded reinsurance companies comparable to the Company
has decreased over the past several years. Nevertheless, we believe this is a carefully considered peer group comprised of
companies that we compete with for business, executive talent or both. We also monitor the compensation practices of large
insurance companies and non-traditional entrants into our industry with which we compete for talent to inform our
compensation program design and determinations.
As discussed below under “Principal Components of our Executive Compensation Program,” in addition to our compensation
peer group, we also have peer groups against which we measure certain performance metrics for performance shares.
Managing Dilution
Management and the Governance and Human Capital Committee balance the goal of aligning the interests of our executives
and employees with the long-term interests of shareholders with active monitoring of our equity-based grant practices and
potential for shareholder dilution. In determining 2025 equity-based grants, the Governance and Human Capital Committee
and the Board considered our prior equity grant practices, outstanding equity awards, and the impact on shareholder dilution of
these instruments and of contemplated grants. We periodically analyze the impact of our equity-based grants on dilution and
share plan utilization models used by our institutional shareholders and by third parties who issue proxy voting
recommendations.

| RenaissanceRe 2026 Proxy Statement | 47

Principal Components of Our Executive Compensation Program
Salary
Base salaries provide a fixed component of compensation at a competitive level to attract and retain executives. Salaries for
our named executive officers are based on several factors, including the scope of job responsibilities, experience, expertise,
performance and competitive market compensation. From time to time, salaries may be adjusted to reflect promotions,
increases in responsibilities and competitive considerations. In 2025, Messrs. O’Donnell, Qutub and Curtis received salary
increases to reflect the increased complexity and scale of the organization, and to further align them with the competitive
market as supported by competitive practices data provided by Mercer. In the case of Messrs. O’Donnell and Curtis, their last
increases in base salary were in 2021 and, in the case of Mr. Qutub, his last increase in base salary was in 2023.

Name | 2024 Salary ($) | 2025 Salary ($) | % Increase
Kevin J. O’Donnell | 1,180,000 | 1,300,000 | 10%
Robert Qutub | 675,000 | 800,000 | 19%
Ross A. Curtis | 725,000 | 775,000 | 7%
David Marra | 900,000 | 900,000 | —%
Shannon L. Bender | 600,000 | 600,000 | —%

Annual Incentive Bonus
Our annual incentive bonus contributes to the alignment of compensation and corporate performance for our named executive
officers and other employees. Amounts are earned based on our attainment of both financial measures and quantitative and
qualitative strategic and operating accomplishments, representing a form of variable pay. The Governance and Human Capital
Committee and management believe that quantitative results should be the primary, but not the sole, measure of executive
performance. This is because our business is subject to significant volatility over the short- and intermediate-term due to our
exposure to catastrophic events, which makes it difficult to evaluate performance purely on a quantitative basis. The mix of
quantitative and qualitative objectives is chosen to encourage underwriting discipline and to discourage excessive or
inappropriate risk taking. The objectives also emphasize the investment of time and resources in projects to increase
scalability and efficiency that will benefit shareholders over the long term. When considered together with the other
components of our program that utilize different performance metrics and time frames, we believe the mix aligns with our
corporate strategy and helps ensure that short-term corporate performance is not pursued at the expense of long-term
shareholder value creation.
We believe that our performance-based annual incentive bonus process fosters relative internal pay equity and aligns
employees with overall corporate results in a manner consistent with our team-based compensation philosophy and
organizational culture.
Annual Incentive Bonus Design and Mechanics
Each year, in connection with its annual compensation review, the Governance and Human Capital Committee reviews our
annual incentive bonus design to assess the design’s alignment with our pay-for-performance philosophy and current strategy
and operating environment. At the beginning of each year, as part of this review, the Governance and Human Capital
Committee determines a target level for each named executive officer’s annual incentive bonus and selects and approves the
financial performance metrics and strategic goals and objectives that will be used to determine the ultimate amount of the
annual incentive bonus. This includes establishing specific targets, thresholds and maximums for each of the performance
metrics.
Following year end, the Governance and Human Capital Committee measures our performance against the approved financial
metrics and strategic goals and objectives to determine a “business performance factor.” The business performance factor is
equal to the sum of the outcomes for each performance metric, calculated as the percentage achievement multiplied by its
relative weight, and subject to a maximum. Bonus allocations for employees, including our named executive officers, are then
made from a pool funded by multiplying the aggregate target bonuses by the business performance factor after adjusting for
individual performance and contributions.

48 | RenaissanceRe 2026 Proxy Statement |

2025 Annual Incentive Bonus Determinations
Annual Incentive Bonus Target Levels
The target levels, as a percentage of base salary, for each named executive officer’s 2025 annual incentive bonuses were the
same as the 2024 levels.

Name | 2024 Target (% of Salary) | 2025 Target (% of Salary)
Kevin J. O’Donnell | 225% | 225%
Robert Qutub | 150% | 150%
Ross A. Curtis | 150% | 150%
David Marra | 150% | 150%
Shannon L. Bender | 150% | 150%

These amounts were determined by the Governance and Human Capital Committee based on its annual analysis of the
competitiveness of our executive compensation program, which is conducted with the assistance of Mercer. The Governance
and Human Capital Committee believes these amounts reflect our competitive position in the industry and support our goal of
having a significant portion of our named executive officer pay be at-risk.
Performance Metrics
For 2025, the Governance and Human Capital Committee approved a mix of financial performance metrics and strategic goals
and objectives in its annual incentive bonus determinations that was consistent with 2024, as set forth below. The Governance
and Human Capital Committee believes that each financial performance metric represents an important measure of the
financial success of our business, and, together with the strategic goals and objectives, serve to balance risk and reward and
drive achievement of our strategic goals.
The performance metrics approved by the Governance and Human Capital Committee for 2025 are set forth below.

20% Ratio of actual gross premiums written to budget |  | 50% Adjusted Operating ROE versus target |  | 30% Strategic accomplishments

Adjusted Operating ROE represents our reported operating income (loss) available for (attributable to) RenaissanceRe
common shareholders, adjusted by a portion of the impact of catastrophe events, and divided by beginning of year common
equity. Our intention is to reflect the impact of catastrophe losses, but mitigate the impact in extreme years that have either
high or low catastrophe activity. The adjustment limits the impact of catastrophe activity to 40% of anticipated catastrophe
losses in the annual operating plan while retaining 60% of the net negative impact of catastrophe losses for the current fiscal
year above the set limit percentage. The anticipated catastrophe losses in the annual operating plan reflects an average
catastrophe loss ratio for each of the property catastrophe and critical catastrophe components of our other property book of
business. The Average Operating ROE target approved by the Governance and Human Capital Committee was established by
calculating RenaissanceRe’s cost of equity under a capital asset pricing model (“CAPM”) and adding a margin that
approximates the market implied cost of equity over the preceding 10 years based on long-term observable inputs. We believe
that Adjusted Operating ROE is an appropriate metric because it provides an accurate measure of our results of operations
while reducing variability and improving year-over-year comparability with prior results.
The gross premiums written target aligns to our annual operating plan, which considers our growth targets and our strict
underwriting discipline, and rewards profitable growth in line with our risk appetite. In 2023 gross premiums written target
increased by 7% from the prior year, and in 2024 the target increased by an additional 39%. However, due to the nature of our
industry and our strategy of proactive cycle management, for 2025, our gross premiums written target reflected a decrease of
less than 1% from 2024. D ue to the nature of our industry and our strategy of proactive cycle management, our budgeted
gross premiums written target may be variable from year-to-year depending on anticipated market conditions.

| RenaissanceRe 2026 Proxy Statement | 49

The Board reviews our strategic plan annually, and at the beginning of each year, the Governance and Human Capital
Committee uses the strategic plan as the basis for setting the strategic goals and objectives for the annual incentive bonus.
Upon completion of the year, the Governance and Human Capital Committee reviews and evaluates a detailed analysis of the
Company’s performance against those pre-established strategic plan goals and objectives in order to determine the strategic
accomplishments score, as discussed in more detail under “2025 Payout Determination” below.
Our accomplishments against the strategic goals and objectives approved for 2025 included:

| Summary strategic goals and objectives: |  |  | Strategic accomplishments: |
| Consistent commitment to our strategy as a global reinsurer |  |  | •Demonstrated resiliency of results from diversified earnings streams •Continued to deliver on our value proposition composed of leadership, expertise and partnership •Implemented a more client-centric renewal framework •Absorbed losses while providing efficient capacity to customers •Launched Medici UCITS catastrophe bond fund |
| Generate strong performance across Three Drivers of Profit |  |  | •Underwriting income of $1.3 billion •Net investment income of $1.7 billion •Fee income of $328.9 million |
| Actively manage capital to optimize returns |  |  | •Enhanced share repurchase program - repurchased approximately $1.6 billion of common shares; reduced share count by 12.8% •Prudent capital management in volatile environment •Generated strong investment returns •Increased dividend for thirty-first consecutive year |
| Deliver enhancements to our operating model to increase the scalability of our global platform |  |  | •Continued to enhance operations and infrastructure to better operate at scale •Enhanced talent development programs and framework for progression •Invested in infrastructure and data insight projects to better serve clients |

determines the target, see “Annual Incentive Bonus Design and Mechanics—Performance Metrics.”
(3)With input from management and in conjunction with the Board’s annual review of our strategic plan, the Governance and Human Capital
Committee evaluates performance on the pre-established strategic goals and objectives, resulting in a strategic projects score between 0

2025 Payout Determination
In February 2026, the Governance and Human Capital Committee reviewed the Company’s performance for the 2025 fiscal
year and the payout formula for determining the business performance factor. Performance against financial metrics is
calculated formulaically based on actual results and the Governance and Human Capital Committee determined that it would
not exercise discretion to reduce the payout determination. To determine performance against our strategic plan, the
Governance and Human Capital Committee reviews detailed information provided by management regarding progress on
each of the various pre-established goals and objectives and consults with the Audit Committee, the Investment and Risk
Management Committee, and the Non-Executive Chair of the Board, then gives a score to each area and averages the results
to determine a final “strategic projects score” that corresponds to a pre-established payout percentage. The Governance and
Human Capital Committee believes that, as discussed above under “Link Between Pay and Performance for 2025,” the
Company performed very well against the pre-established strategic goals and objectives for the annual incentive bonuses for
2025.

| RenaissanceRe 2026 Proxy Statement | 51

Based on our actual performance achievements, the Governance and Human Capital Committee established an overall
business performance factor of 175% of target for 2025 (in accordance with the formula described above) and determined that
the actual annual incentive bonus for 2025 for each named executive officer would be equal to our business performance
factor of 175%, multiplied by their target bonus amount.
The target and actual annual incentive bonuses for 2025 for each of our named executive officers, as determined by the
Governance and Human Capital Committee, are set forth in the table below:

Name | Base Salary ($) | Target 2025 Bonus as a Percent of Base Salary (%) | Target 2025 Bonus ($) | Actual 2025 Bonus ($)
Kevin J. O’Donnell | 1,300,000 | 225% | 2,925,000 | 5,118,750
Robert Qutub | 800,000 | 150% | 1,200,000 | 2,100,000
Ross A. Curtis | 775,000 | 150% | 1,162,500 | 2,034,375
David Marra | 900,000 | 150% | 1,350,000 | 2,362,500
Shannon L. Bender | 600,000 | 150% | 900,000 | 1,575,000

Long-Term Incentives

Performance shares made up 50% of the 2025 annual long- term incentive awards for named executive officers

Our long-term incentive awards link the compensation of our named executive officers
directly to corporate performance over the long term. These awards make up a
significant component of total direct compensation. For all of our named executive
officers, the long-term incentive award consisted of a combination of performance
shares and time-vested restricted shares. The combination of awards with
performance-based and service-based vesting supports our pay-for-performance
philosophy by encouraging long-term performance, retention and shareholder value-
creation and fostering an ownership culture.
Long-Term Incentive Award Mechanics
The Governance and Human Capital Committee and senior management monitor the Company’s equity grant practices to
evaluate whether such policies comply with governing regulations and are consistent with good corporate practices. Generally,
the Governance and Human Capital Committee makes annual long-term incentive awards to the named executive officers in
connection with its annual review of compensation in the first quarter of the year, after results for the preceding fiscal year
become available and after review and evaluation of each executive officer’s performance, enabling the Governance and
Human Capital Committee to consider both the prior year’s performance and expectations for the succeeding year in making
grant decisions. Generally, the Governance and Human Capital Committee makes decisions regarding annual equity awards
shortly following the public release of results for the preceding year, which is a time when the Company is less likely to have
material non-public information that could impact our stock price. The annual grants have historically had a pre-established
effective date of March 1 of each year, therefore, any release of material non-public information following the grants would be
coincidental. The Governance and Human Capital Committee may also grant equity awards from time to time to reflect
promotions, special achievements, new hires or retention needs. The Governance and Human Capital Committee does not
intend to make one-time awards absent exceptional circumstances.
Time-vested restricted shares generally vest in four equal annual installments subject to continued service with the Company.
Performance share awards generally have a three-year performance period, and cliff vest at the end of a three-year service
period.
The Governance and Human Capital Committee reviews the terms and conditions of our performance shares at least annually
to assess alignment with our strategic plan. It selects the performance metric or metrics that will be used, and sets specific
targets, thresholds and maximums.

52 | RenaissanceRe 2026 Proxy Statement |

Dividends are generally payable currently with respect to time-vested restricted shares. Dividends are accrued on unvested
performance shares and are paid without interest at the same time as the underlying shares vest. No dividends are paid on
forfeited performance shares.
2025 Long-Term Incentive Award Determinations
2025 Grants of Annual Equity Awards
In 2025, the Governance and Human Capital Committee granted each named executive officer an annual long-term incentive
award. The award was split evenly between performance shares and restricted shares for all named executive officers.
The total target values and composition of the annual long-term incentive awards made in 2025 were based on the named
executive officers’ responsibilities, performance and contributions during the previous year. The total target value of the awards
for Mr. O’Donnell, Mr. Qutub and Mr. Curtis were consistent with the prior year. The total target value of the award for Ms.
Bender and Mr. Marra increased from the prior year to reflect their strong execution of our strategy and the increasing
responsibilities of their roles commensurate with our increased scale. The annual long-term incentive awards granted to our
named executive officers in 2025 are set forth in the following table:

Name | Performance Shares(1) ($) | Time-Vested Restricted Shares ($) | Total Target Long- Term Equity-Based Incentive Award ($)
Kevin J. O’Donnell | 2,507,366 | 2,507,366 | 5,014,732
Robert Qutub | 843,551 | 843,551 | 1,687,102
Ross A. Curtis | 906,045 | 906,045 | 1,812,090
David Marra | 1,124,893 | 1,124,893 | 2,249,786
Shannon L. Bender | 674,841 | 674,841 | 1,349,682

(1)The values of the performance shares are shown at target based on the closing price of our common shares on the date of grant.
2025 Performance Share Metrics
In 2025, the Governance and Human Capital Committee granted annual performance share awards with the same terms and
metrics as the awards it granted in 2024, which include a three-year performance period (from January 1, 2025 to December
31, 2027) and two performance metrics. The Governance and Human Capital Committee believes these terms and metrics
continue to align with the Company’s current business, risk and investment portfolios.

Metrics | Weighting
Average change in book value per common share plus change in accumulated dividends during the three-year performance period | 75%
Three-year average underwriting expense ratio rank compared to peers | 25%
Key Features |
•Assuming performance conditions are met, cliff vest after three years, subject to continued service. •In the event that industry-wide losses during a performance year are greater than a pre-set magnitude determined at the time of grant and change in book value per common share plus change in accumulated dividends for that performance year is below the set threshold, the book value per common share plus change in accumulated dividends for the performance year will be set at the threshold achievement level, unless the Governance and Human Capital Committee determines to apply below threshold achievement due to performance against modelled outcomes for such an event being outside of the acceptable modelled range.

| RenaissanceRe 2026 Proxy Statement | 53

In addition, consistent with the 2024 performance share awards, the maximum payout for the 2025 performance share awards
is 200% for all named executive officers. The performance metrics and corresponding vesting levels for the 2025 performance
share awards are set forth in the following table:

Hurdle | Average Change in Book Value per Common Share plus Change in Accumulated Dividends | Vesting Level (as Percent of Target) |  | Average Underwriting Expense Ratio Rank | Vesting Level (as Percent of Target)
Below Threshold | < 3.5% | 0% |  | < 7 | 0%
Threshold | 3.5% | 35% |  | 7 | 35%
Target | 7.0% | 100% |  | 10 | 100%
Maximum | 14.0% | 200% |  | 18 | 200%

If performance falls between threshold and target or between target and maximum, vesting level (as a percent of target) is
determined using linear interpolation. The Governance and Human Capital Committee has the authority to consider downward
adjustments in conjunction with any vesting of performance shares but may not make any upward adjustments.
To determine average underwriting expense ratio rank relative to our peers for the purposes of payout of our performance
shares granted in 2025, the Governance and Human Capital Committee, in consultation with Mercer and management,
selected an expanded group of peers that included 11 of the companies in our compensation peer group, plus six additional
companies. These additional companies are relevant for performance comparisons based on their business and risk profile
and U.S. or Bermuda headquarters, but are generally too small to be considered as compensation peers. Consistent with the
2024 performance share awards, the following 17 companies comprised our performance share peer group for 2025 awards:

| 2025 Performance Share Peer Group |  |
| •Arch Capital Group Ltd. •AXIS Capital Holdings Limited •Cincinnati Financial Corporation •CNA Financial Corporation •Everest Group, Ltd. | •Fidelis Insurance Holdings Limited •Global Indemnity Group, LLC •Greenlight Capital Re, Ltd. •Hamilton Insurance Group, Ltd. | •James River Group Holdings, Ltd. •Markel Group, Inc. •RLI Corp. •Selective Insurance Group, Inc. | •SiriusPoint Ltd. •The Hanover Insurance Group, Inc. •The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. •W.R. Berkely Corporation |

Performance Share Measurement For 2025
In February 2026, the Governance and Human Capital Committee reviewed and confirmed the results of the pre-approved
formula for the average change in book value per common share and three-year average underwriting expense ratio rank
compared to peers for the 2023 to 2025 performance cycle, for purposes of determining the vesting amount for the
performance shares granted to the named executive officers in 2023.
The following table illustrates actual performance achieved and shares earned for performance shares granted in 2023 across
the three-year performance cycle, which resulted in an overall payout of 179% of target.

| 2023 |  | 2024 |  | 2025 |  |  |
Performance Metric | Performance Achieved |  | Performance Achieved |  | Performance Achieved |  | Three-Year Average | % of Target Achieved
Average Change in Book Value per Common Share plus Change in Accumulated Dividends | 59.3% |  | 19.4% |  | 27.0% |  | 35.2% | 200%
Average Underwriting Expense Ratio Rank(1) | 30.8% |  | 32.4% |  | 31.3% |  | 31.5% Rank 9 of 14 | 117%
Payout |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 179%

(1)Underwriting expense ratio for the Company’s performance peer group was compiled from S&P Capital IQ. In accordance with the terms
of the award agreement, one of the original members of the performance share peer group for this award was removed from the peer

54 | RenaissanceRe 2026 Proxy Statement |

group because of a corporate transaction during the performance period and three European peers were removed because data was not
available due to IFRS 17 accounting changes. Because not all of the companies in the performance peer group report underwriting
expense ratio or report financial results on a GAAP basis, the three-year average underwriting expense ratio for the Company was
calculated on an adjusted basis to allow for comparability with the performance peer group. Based on the S&P Capital IQ data, expense
ratios for members of the performance peer group include amortization, stock-based compensation and certain other corporate and
operating expenses as defined by S&P Capital IQ that are not included in expense ratios presented on a GAAP basis. To align with the
methodology used by S&P Capital IQ, corporate expenses included in the expense ratio calculation were: certain executive, director,
legal and consulting expenses; costs for research and development; impairment charges related to goodwill and other intangible assets;
and other miscellaneous costs, including those associated with operating as a public company. Our reported underwriting expense ratios
were 30.1%, 31.1% and 30.5% for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively.
Additional Compensation Practices
Other Benefits and Perquisites
Mr. O’Donnell, Mr. Qutub and Ms. Bender, our Bermuda-based, expatriate named executive officers, participate in a perquisite
and benefit program that we believe furthers our goal of attracting and retaining key talent to our strategic Bermuda
headquarters. Given the unique challenges of the Bermuda market, including travel to and from the island and the cost of living
and maintaining a residence, we provide benefits and perquisites, such as personal travel, housing allowances, other
housing-related benefits and travel expenses to executive physicals, that are generally consistent with our competitors
operating in this market and which we believe are necessary for recruitment and retention purposes. See “Housing
Arrangements with Executive Officers” above for additional information.
Our named executive officers are also permitted Company-funded personal use of the corporate aircraft with a value up to the
aggregate incremental cost to the Company of $85,000 per year. The aggregate incremental cost of the use of the corporate
aircraft is calculated as the fully loaded variable rate of such aircraft. The named executive officers may also invite family
members or other guests to fly on already scheduled corporate aircraft business trips, for which there is no incremental cost to
us. Since 2020, in light of concerns for safety and continuing commercial travel limitations in Bermuda, the Governance and
Human Capital Committee adopted a policy allowing our management governance committee members additional Company-
funded personal use of our NetJets program. See “Use of Company Aircraft” above for additional information. In addition, Mr.
O’Donnell and Ms. Bender are entitled to the value of four and two commercial airline trips per year, respectively, for
themselves and each member of their immediate families.
We generally do not pay tax gross-ups on perquisites for our named executive officers and, instead, named executive officers
pay imputed income tax on the value of these benefits. However, in order to recognize the additional expenses incurred when
an employee is required to work in a tax jurisdiction other than their primary work jurisdiction, we provide tax reimbursements
for, or directly pay, all employees for the additional taxes incurred when required to work in a jurisdiction other their primary
work jurisdiction. In addition, the housing allowances for Messrs. O’Donnell and Qutub include a partial reimbursement for
additional taxes incurred with respect to their housing allowances as a result of the application of the foreign income tax
exclusion and stacking rules under the Internal Revenue Code. The reimbursement is intended to place Mr. O’Donnell and Mr.
Qutub in the same tax position they would have been placed absent the impact of the stacking rules under the Internal
Revenue Code.
Change in Control and Post-Termination Payments
Our named executive officers may be entitled to vesting of equity-based incentive awards and other severance payments and
benefits pursuant to the terms of our equity compensation plans and their employment agreements, and upon a qualifying
termination of employment or a change in control. The Governance and Human Capital Committee views post-termination
payments primarily as consideration for restrictive covenants applicable to our executives following termination of employment,
which we believe are essential to the protection of our business given the specialized markets in which we compete. In
addition, the Governance and Human Capital Committee believes that both the change in control and post-termination
payments and benefits are necessary components of a competitive compensation program. The benefits payable upon a
qualifying termination of employment or a change in control are described in detail under “Potential Payments Upon
Termination or Change in Control” below.

| RenaissanceRe 2026 Proxy Statement | 55

Compensation Governance
Clawback of Incentive Compensation
We have adopted a recoupment policy (“Clawback Policy”) to comply with the NYSE listing standards implementing the
compensation recovery requirements under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The Clawback
Policy requires the Governance and Human Capital Committee to recoup certain cash and equity incentive compensation paid
or granted to certain current and former executive officers in the event the Company is required to prepare an accounting
restatement due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the U.S. federal securities laws.
Under the policy, the Governance and Human Capital Committee will require recoupment if it determines that incentive-based
compensation received by an executive exceeded the amount of incentive-based compensation that otherwise would have
been received, had it been calculated based on the restated financial results.
If our Board were to determine that an executive officer engaged in fraudulent or intentional misconduct, the Board would
impose appropriate discipline, including possibly terminating the executive officer’s employment and/or initiating an action for
breach of fiduciary duty. These remedies as well as recoupment under the Clawback Policy would be in addition to any actions
that might be imposed by law enforcement agencies, regulators or other authorities. We also have a right to set off against
certain amounts owing to the executive officers should they engage in certain activities that are detrimental to the Company.
In addition to the Clawback Policy, Mr. O’Donnell’s employment agreement provides that incentive compensation (including
both cash bonuses and equity awards) that is determined to have been earned based upon financial statements that were
subsequently restated may be clawed back, or forfeited if unpaid, to the extent that such compensation would not have been
earned based upon the restated financials. If the restatement is determined to have been due to Mr. O’Donnell’s misconduct,
the clawback would apply to compensation paid within 60 months following our first filing with the SEC containing the financial
statement that was restated. Except as otherwise required pursuant to the Clawback Policy, for restatements not determined to
have been due to Mr. O’Donnell’s misconduct, our clawback rights under Mr. O’Donnell’s employment agreement apply only to
compensation paid within 24 months following the first SEC filing containing the financial statement that was restated. In
addition, our clawback rights under Mr. O’Donnell’s employment agreement apply to gains realized on sales of our securities in
the 12 months following the first SEC filing containing a financial statement that is ultimately restated due to Mr. O’Donnell’s
misconduct.
Compensation and Risk Management
The Governance and Human Capital Committee evaluates the relationship between our executive and firm-wide
compensation programs and policies and risk management on an annual basis. As discussed in this Compensation Discussion
and Analysis, we design our compensation programs to incorporate a range of components that we believe help mitigate
potential risks while rewarding employees for pursuing our strategic and financial objectives through appropriate risk taking,
risk management and prudent tactical and strategic decision making. The Governance and Human Capital Committee reviews
the programs and policies on a regular basis in an effort to eliminate or mitigate potential risks arising from such programs and
policies. In light of the market cycles and earnings volatility that characterize our industry, our efforts to align the interests of
our executives and employees with the long-term interests of our shareholders and to assess whether our compensation
structure, elements and incentives are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company are ongoing. Senior
executives representing our risk, legal and compliance, human resources, finance and internal audit functions, as well as the
Governance and Human Capital Committee’s independent compensation consultant, are involved in this review process,
which is conducted under the oversight of the Governance and Human Capital Committee. This process includes annual,
individual executive sessions with the Group Chief Risk Officer, Chief Accounting Officer, Group General Counsel, Head of
Internal Audit and Chief Human Resources Officer in advance of the establishment of compensation metrics for the coming
year. Based on this review, we do not believe that there are any risks arising from our compensation policies and practices for
our employees that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us.
For additional information regarding our risk management practices, see “Risk Oversight” above.

56 | RenaissanceRe 2026 Proxy Statement |

Equity Ownership Requirements
Our named executive officers are subject to equity ownership guidelines. In keeping with our overall compensation philosophy,
we believe that the equity ownership levels that they are required to maintain are high enough to assure our shareholders of
our executives’ commitment to long-term value creation. Under our guidelines, our named executive officers are required to
maintain ownership of our equity with a value equal to a multiple of salary as follows:
•7.5 times actual salary for our Chief Executive Officer; and
•4.5 times target salary for our other named executive officers.
In 2025, we modified our guidelines to provide that only the value of common shares owned outright and time vested restricted
shares are counted toward the equity ownership value. Equity ownership value does not include unearned performance shares
or vested or unvested stock options, if any, would also be excluded from determining the equity ownership value. A named
executive officer is not required to purchase shares in the open market in order to satisfy their ownership requirements but is
prohibited from selling any of the equity granted to them, other than automatic dispositions for tax withholding, until ownership
requirements are satisfied.
As of December 31, 2025, all of our named executive officers had satisfied their ownership requirements.
Anti-Hedging, Anti-Pledging and Insider Trading Policy
Our employees, including our named executive officers, are subject to our insider trading policy, which prohibits:
•t ransactions in our securities outside of Company-designated “window” periods, except pursuant to previously adopted and
approved Rule 10b5-1 plans;
•employees and their designees from hedging the market value of RenaissanceRe securities; and
•employees and their designees from engaging in short sales of, margin loans on, or pledging of RenaissanceRe securities.
It is the Board’s view that such activities are generally against the interest of our shareholders and could cause significant
repercussions to us and our shareholders if allowed.
We believe that each of our named executive officers is in compliance with our insider trading policy, including the prohibitions
on pledging and hedging. In addition, our insider trading policy provides that the Company will not trade in RenaissanceRe
securities in violation of applicable securities laws or stock exchange listing standards. A copy of the Company’s insider trading
policy has been filed as Exhibit 19.1 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

(1)The amounts shown in this column represent the aggregate grant date fair value of time-vested restricted shares and performance shares
granted to our named executive officers in the applicable fiscal year, computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, excluding the
effect of estimated forfeitures. The assumptions made in the valuation of stock awards are discussed in Note 17. (Stock Incentive
Compensation and Employee Benefit Plans) of our 2025 Form 10-K. These values do not represent the actual value the recipient will or
has received from the award. The terms of our stock awards are discussed above under “Long-Term Incentives.” For performance shares
granted in 2025, the grant date fair value is based on the probable outcome of the related performance share conditions at the time of
grant, which reflects the target level of performance. The grant date fair value of performance share awards made in 2025 based on the
maximum level of performance is as follows: Mr. O’Donnell: $5,014,732; Mr. Qutub: $1,687,102; Mr. Curtis: $1,812,090; Mr. Marra:

(3)Personal travel includes: (a) costs for personal commercial travel for Mr. O’Donnell and Ms. Bender and their immediate family members
during 2025, (b) personal use of the corporate aircraft by each named executive officer and associated ground transportation, (c) costs of
flights, ground transportation and hotel stays for an executive physical for Mr. O’Donnell, and (d) certain spousal travel expenses for
business related purposes for Mr. O’Donnell and Mr. Marra. The cost of personal commercial travel is an allowance paid in accordance
with Company policy. The cost of hotels and certain transportation is reimbursed directly to the named executive officer, as applicable.
The aggregate incremental cost of the use of the corporate aircraft is calculated as the fully loaded variable rate of such aircraft. The cost
of ground transportation associated with personal use of the corporate aircraft represents the amount billed to the Company. The named
executive officers may also invite family members or other guests from time to time to fly on already scheduled corporate aircraft
business trips. There is no incremental cost to us and, therefore, there is no value included in this column for such use of the corporate

(1)On February 4, 2025, the Governance and Human Capital Committee approved annual long-term incentive awards for our named
executive officers pursuant to the 2016 LTI Plan. In accordance with our practice, these equity-based awards were granted on March 1,
2025.
(2)The amounts reported in these columns represent estimated possible payouts of annual incentive bonuses in respect of 2025, assuming
threshold achievement, target achievement and maximum achievement of the applicable performance metrics. These annual incentive
bonuses were paid in March 2026 and the actual amounts paid to our named executive officers are included in the 2025 Summary
Compensation Table in the “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column. See “Annual Incentive Bonus” above for a detailed
description of our annual incentive bonus program.
(3)The amounts reported in these columns represent awards of performance shares made pursuant to the 2016 LTI Plan. These awards are
scheduled to vest following the expiration of the service period on December 31, 2027. Vesting of the awards is also subject to the
Governance and Human Capital Committee’s determination of change in book value per common share plus change in accumulated
dividends and underwriting expense ratio rank compared to peers. These columns represent the number of performance shares that vest
at threshold achievement, target achievement and maximum achievement of the performance metrics. Below the threshold performance
level, no shares will vest. See “Long-Term Incentives” above for a detailed description of the performance share program.

| RenaissanceRe 2026 Proxy Statement | 61

(4)The number of time-vested restricted shares and target number of performance shares awarded were computed by dividing the approved
grant value by the closing price of our common shares on the date of grant of $237.62 per common share on March 1, 2025, rounded
down to the nearest whole number of shares. See “Long-Term Incentives” above for a detailed description of our equity grant practices.
(5)The amounts reported in this column represent awards of restricted shares made pursuant to the 2016 LTI Plan that are scheduled to
vest in four substantially equal annual installments beginning on March 1, 2026. Dividends are paid currently on time-vested restricted
shares.
(6)The amounts shown in this column represent the grant date fair value of time-vested restricted shares and performance shares granted to
our named executive officers in the applicable fiscal year, computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, excluding the effect of
estimated forfeitures. For performance shares, the grant date fair value is based on the probable outcome of the related performance
conditions at the time of grant, which reflects the target level of performance. The assumptions made in the valuation of stock awards are
discussed in Note 17. (Stock Incentive Compensation and Employee Benefit Plans) of our 2025 Form 10-K. These values do not
represent the actual value the recipient will or has received from the award. The terms of the awards are discussed above under “Long-
Term Incentives” and the maximum value as of the grant date of performance share awards made in 2025 is included in the footnotes to
the 2025 Summary Compensation Table.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control
Severance Payments and Benefits for Named Executive Officers
We have entered into employment agreements with each of our named executive officers, with the agreements for Messrs.
Qutub, Curtis, and Marra, and Ms. Bender having a one-year term that extends automatically absent 30 days’ notice (for
Messrs. Qutub and Curtis) or 90 days’ notice (for Mr. Marra and Ms. Bender) by either party of such party’s intent not to renew
the term. Mr. O’Donnell’s employment agreement provides that his term of employment currently runs for a one-year term from
July 1 of each year and extends automatically for an additional year on an annual basis absent 180 days’ notice by either party
of such party’s intent not to renew the term.
Pursuant to their employment agreements, our named executive officers would have been entitled to certain payments and
benefits upon certain qualifying terminations of their employment relationships with us occurring on December 31, 2025. A
named executive officer’s employment relationship may be terminated for any of the following reasons: (i) the executive’s
death or disability; (ii) by us with or without cause (as defined in the applicable executive’s agreement); (iii) by the executive
with or without good reason (as defined in the applicable executive’s agreement); and (iv) after expiration of the term of
employment following notice of non-extension by us or by the executive. No benefits are payable upon a termination by us for
cause.
Upon the termination of a named executive officer’s employment by the Company occurring on December 31, 2025 (other than
a termination by us for cause), and subject to the execution of a mutual general release of claims (if requested by us), the
executive would have become entitled to a combination of the following benefits:
(i)an amount equal to a percent (the “Installment Percent”) of the executive’s annual salary and the greater of (x) their
target bonus and (y) their actual bonus for the year of termination (the “Bonus Amount”), to be paid in installments
over the 12-month period following the termination of employment, provided that in the case of termination due to
disability the executive is only eligible for the Installment Percent with respect to base salary;
(ii)subject to the executive’s compliance with non-competition and other post-termination obligations, a lump sum
payment equal to a percent (the “Lump Sum Percent”) of their annual salary and the Bonus Amount to be paid at the
end of the 12-month period following the termination of employment, provided that in the case of termination due to
disability the executive is only eligible for the Lump Sum Percent with respect to base salary;
(iii)a pro rata annual bonus (at target) based on the number of days elapsed in the year of termination through the date
of termination;
(iv)continuation of health benefits for the executive and their covered dependents for up to 12 months following
termination of employment; and
(v)vesting of certain equity awards granted under our stock incentive plans, as described further below.
The Installment Percent and Lump Sum Percent for Mr. O’Donnell are 150% and 50%, respectively, while the Installment
Percent and Lump Sum Percent for each of the other named executive officers are 75% and 25%, respectively. In the event
that a qualifying termination (e.g., a termination by us without cause or a termination by the executive for good reason) occurs
within 12 months following a change in control, the Installment Percent and Lump Sum Percent are 150% and 50%,
respectively, for each of the named executive officers. In addition, in the case Messrs. Qutub, Curtis or Marra and Ms. Bender
elect not to extend their agreement or they resign without good reason, they will be entitled to the Installment Percent and
Lump Sum Percent with respect to their base salary only as well as continuation of health benefits in the event we elect to
extend the non-competition covenant for up to 12 months beyond their termination date.
For Mr. O’Donnell, a portion of the contractually provided severance benefits described above in clauses (i) (Installment
Percent of salary) and (ii) (Lump Sum Percent of salary), which we view as consideration for the restrictive covenants
contained in the employment agreements (referred to as “non-compete consideration”), was paid to him in the form of yearly
pre-payments and a lump sum payment made on December 31, 2017, pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement.
Mr. O’Donnell’s employment agreement provides that all pre-payments received and the lump sum payment made on
December 31, 2017 are subject to clawback and forfeiture in the event Mr. O’Donnell ceases to comply with the terms and
conditions of his employment agreement, including the non-competition and non-interference covenants described below, and
also provides us with a right to set off against other amounts owing to him should he engage in certain activities that are
detrimental to us after the payment of any pre-payments or the lump sum payment made on December 31, 2017.

66 | RenaissanceRe 2026 Proxy Statement |

For Mr. Marra, a portion of the contractually provided severance benefits described above in clauses (i) (Installment Percent of
salary) and (ii) (Lump Sum Percent of salary) was also pre-paid to him in the form of yearly pre-payments and a lump sum
payment under his prior employment agreement, and continues to be prepaid to him each calendar year pursuant to his
current employment agreement, in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of Mr. Marra’s base salary in effect at the end of the
immediately preceding calendar year over Mr. Marra’s base salary in effect at the end of the second immediately preceding
calendar year. All prepaid severance made to Mr. Marra (including pursuant to his prior employment agreement) is subject to
repayment if Mr. Marra is terminated for cause or fails to comply with his employment agreement.

(1)With respect to Messrs. Qutub, Curtis and Marra and Ms. Bender, these benefits (other than vesting of awards in connection with a
Retirement) will be provided only to the extent we elect to extend the non-competition covenant for up to 12 months beyond the
termination date. For each named executive officer, a termination by the executive without “good reason” will qualify as a “retirement” if
the executive’s employment is terminated by the executive following the later of the date on which (i) the sum of the executive’s age and
years of service with the Company equals 65 and (ii) the executive has first completed five years of service with the Company.
(2)In addition to the benefits above and as noted in the “2025 Summary Compensation Table,” we pay premiums on behalf of our named
executive officers with respect to life insurance coverage under our health and benefits plans. The death benefit is up to a maximum of
$2.0 million for Bermuda-based employees and up to a maximum of $750,000 for U.S.-based employees.
(3)Each named executive officer’s employment agreement provides for this accelerated vesting, which applies to all time-vested awards
(i.e., restricted shares).
(4)Stock options held at least one year continue to vest. Awards subject to service- and performance- based vesting remain outstanding
and vest based on actual achievement of the underlying performance goals.
Death Benefits
We pay premiums on behalf of our named executive officers with respect to life insurance coverage under our health and
benefits plans. The death benefit equals four times the named executive officer’s annual salary up to a maximum of $2.0
million for Bermuda-based employees and two times the named executive officer’s annual salary up to a maximum of
$750,000 for U.S.-based employees. In addition, in the event of the executive officer’s death, the executive officer’s estate
would receive a pro rata annual bonus (at target) based on the number of days elapsed in the year of termination through the
date of termination. Our named executive officers are also eligible to receive the vesting of certain of their equity awards in the
event of death, as described below.
Treatment of Equity Awards Upon a Termination of Employment or Change
in Control
Pursuant to each named executive officer’s employment agreement, all unvested time-vested equity awards (which currently
consists of all of their unvested restricted shares, including the portion of Mr. O’Donnell’s performance recognition award tied
to management-related objectives) would vest in full upon such executive’s death, a termination due to such executive’s
disability, a voluntary termination by such executive for good reason, an involuntary termination of such executive without
cause or a non-renewal of the agreement by us.

| RenaissanceRe 2026 Proxy Statement | 67

Awards granted under the 2016 LTI Plan are subject to “double-trigger” vesting and, therefore, awards that are assumed or
substituted in connection with a change in control will accelerate only if a participant experiences a qualifying termination within
two years following the change in control, provided that awards are subject to accelerated vesting in the event of a change in
control in which the awards are not assumed by the acquiror.
The following table sets forth the treatment of our outstanding performance shares, including performance recognition awards
other than the portion of Mr. O’Donnell’s tied to management-related objectives, upon certain termination events and a change
in control. Other than as set forth in the table, performance shares that remain unvested as of any termination of employment
will be forfeited.

Death; Disability; By Us Without Cause; By Executive for Good Reason; Retirement(1) | Change in Control
Shares as to which the Performance Period Has Ended |
Full vesting and waiver of remaining service condition. | Remain outstanding until the completion of the remaining service period, subject to acceleration upon a qualifying termination within two years following a change in control.
Shares Remaining Subject to Performance Vesting |
Remain outstanding until the completion of the performance period, and vest based on the actual level of attainment of the applicable performance goals. | Performance shares that are assumed or substituted in connection with a change in control remain outstanding until the completion of the performance and service periods, subject to acceleration upon a qualifying termination within two years following a change in control, and vest based on the actual level of attainment of the applicable performance goals. Performance shares that are not assumed or substituted in connection with a change in control are subject to acceleration based on the total shareholder return achieved as of the date of a change in control.

(1)A termination by the executive without “good reason” will qualify as a “retirement” if the executive’s employment is terminated by the
executive following the later of the date on which (i) the sum of the executive’s age and years of service with the Company equals 65 and
(ii) the executive has first completed five years of service with the Company.
Restrictive Covenants
Under the named executive officers’ employment agreements, during the term of employment and for 12 months following any
termination of employment, each executive is subject to non-interference covenants and each executive is also subject to non-
competition covenants; provided that, for Messrs. Qutub, Curtis and Marra and Ms. Bender only, the non-competition covenant
will extend beyond a termination without good reason or due to an employee non-renewal only to the extent that we elect to
pay such executive the Installment Percent and Lump Sum Percent of salary (or prorated portion thereof for an extension for a
period of less than 12 months). Generally, the non-competition covenant prevents the executive from engaging in activities
competitive with our business or the business of our affiliates, and the non-interference covenant prevents the executive from
soliciting or hiring our employees or those of our affiliates or service providers and from inducing any of our customers,
suppliers, licensees or other business relations or those of our affiliates, to cease doing business with, or reduce the amount of
business conducted with, us or our affiliates, or in any other manner interfering with our relationship with such parties. The
named executive officers’ employment agreements also contain standard confidentiality and invention assignment provisions
as well as indemnification protection generally to the fullest extent permitted by Bermuda law, except in certain limited
circumstances.
Estimated Payments and Benefits Upon Termination or Change in Control
The estimated payments and benefits that would be provided to our named executive officers in the circumstances described
above in the event that such circumstances occurred on December 31, 2025, are set forth in the table below, using the closing
price of our common shares of $281.16 on December 31, 2025. In addition, because the estimated payments are calculated
by assuming a termination on December 31, 2025, the pro rata bonus amounts in the table reflect an accrual for a full calendar
year. Actual amounts payable following a termination or change in control could differ significantly from the amounts shown
and depending on the particular facts and circumstances. In addition, because the information in the table is as of December
31, 2025, it includes the accelerated vesting of certain awards that vested following year-end and prior to the date of this proxy
statement.

(1)Consistent with the termination provisions of the named executive officers’ employment agreements, amounts shown under “Salary” are
based on multiples (as set forth in each of the named executive officers’ respective employment agreement) of the salaries in effect as of
December 31, 2025, less the value of the non-compete consideration that was paid to Mr. O’Donnell on December 31, 2017 and certain
yearly pre-payments that were paid to Messrs. O’Donnell and Marra, previously. Please see the narrative discussion above for details on
the payments and benefits to which the named executive officer would be entitled upon a termination of employment.
(2)Please see the narrative discussion above under “Treatment of Equity Awards Upon a Termination of Employment or Change in Control”

–the value of restricted share awards that had not yet vested as of December 31, 2025, based on the closing price of $281.16 per
common share value on December 31, 2025; and
–the value of performance shares that had not yet vested as of December 31, 2025, based on (a) the target number of performance
shares for performance periods ending on or after January 1, 2026, and (b) the actual number of performance shares earned for
performance periods ending on or before December 31, 2025, and the closing price of $281.16 per common share value on
December 31, 2025.

Pay Ratio Disclosure
We are using the same median employee for our 2025 pay ratio calculation as we used in 2024 and 2023, as we believe that
there have been no changes to our employee population or employee compensation arrangements that we reasonably believe
would result in a significant change to our pay ratio disclosure.
To identify our median employee, we determined the sum of 2023 base salary, target annual incentive bonus or spot bonus
and target long-term cash or equity-based incentive award value for each individual, excluding Mr. O’Donnell, who was
employed by us on December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2023, we employed 931 people worldwide. F or our employees
who were paid in currency other than U.S. dollars, these amounts were converted into U.S. dollars at the applicable exchange
rate on December 31, 2023. We included all employees, whether full-time or part-time. We annualized the compensation for
full-time and part-time employees that were not employed by us for all of 2023. We did not make cost-of-living adjustments or
any other assumptions, adjustments or estimates. We believe we are using a consistently applied compensation measure that
reasonably reflects the annual compensation of our employees, as base salary, annual incentive bonus or spot bonus and
long-term cash or equity-based incentive awards generally comprise nearly all of the annual compensation of our employees.
Furthermore, a majority of our employees receive annual long-term cash or equity-based incentive awards and participate in
our bonus program, and the actual amount of the bonus paid is generally determined using a formula applied consistently to
each employee’s target bonus amount.
The following table sets forth the ratio of Mr. O’Donnell’s annual total compensation as reported in the 2025 Summary
Compensation Table to the annual total compensation of our median employee, calculated in accordance with the Summary
Compensation Table rules, for the 2025 fiscal year:

| Annual Total Compensation
Kevin J. O’Donnell President and Chief Executive Officer | $12,951,841
Median Employee | $308,533
Ratio | 42.0:1

Pay Versus Performance
Pursuant to Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 402(v) of Regulation
S-K, the “Pay Versus Performance Table” (set forth below) is required to include “Compensation Actually Paid,” as calculated
per SEC disclosure rules, to the Company’s PEO and the Company’s non-PEO named executive officers, as noted below.
“Compensation Actually Paid” represents a required calculation of compensation that differs significantly from the “2025
Summary Compensation Table” calculation of compensation, the named executive officers’ realized or earned compensation,
as well as from the way in which the Governance and Human Capital Committee views annual compensation decisions, as
discussed in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section.
The amounts in the table below are calculated in accordance with SEC rules and do not represent amounts actually earned or
realized by named executive officers, including with respect to equity awards which remain subject to forfeiture if the vesting
conditions are not satisfied. For example, the “Compensation Actually Paid” in fiscal year 2023 included the 2023 performance
recognition awards, even though such awards remain subject to vesting conditions and Mr. O’Donnell’s 2023 performance
recognition awards are not scheduled to fully vest until November 15, 2028 and the 2023 performance recognition awards for
the other named executive officers are not scheduled to vest until December 31, 2026.

(1)Kevin J. O’Donnell has served as our principal executive officer for the entirety of 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025. Our other named
executive officers for the applicable years were as follows:
–2025: Robert Qutub; Ross A. Curtis; David Marra; and Shannon L. Bender
–2024: Robert Qutub; Ross A. Curtis; David Marra; and Shannon L. Bender
–2023: Robert Qutub; Ross A. Curtis; David Marra; Shannon L. Bender; and Ian D. Branagan
–2022: Robert Qutub; Ross A. Curtis; Ian D. Branagan; and Sean Brosnan
–2021: Robert Qutub; Ross A. Curtis; Ian D. Branagan; and Sean Brosnan
(2)Amounts reported in this column represent (i) the total compensation reported in the “Summary Compensation Table” for the applicable
year in the case of Mr. O’Donnell and (ii) the average of the total compensation reported in the “Summary Compensation Table” for the
applicable year for our other named executive officers for the applicable year.
(3)To calculate the compensation actually paid (“CAP”), adjustments were made to the amounts reported in the “Summary Compensation
Table” for the applicable year. A reconciliation of the adjustments for Mr. O’Donnell and for the average of the other named executive
officers is set forth following the footnotes to this table.
(4)Pursuant to rules of the SEC, the comparison assumes $100 was invested on December 31, 2020. Historic stock price performance is
not necessarily indicative of future stock price performance.
(5)The TSR peer group consists of the S&P 1500 Property & Casualty Insurance Index, an independently prepared index that includes
companies in the property and casualty insurance industry (and which is used for the Company’s stock performance chart in the annual
report).
(6)As noted in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the Governance and Human Capital Committee selected change in book value per
common share plus change in accumulated dividends as a key metric for evaluating and rewarding management’s performance in the
2025 incentive program design. This measure is used to determine the vesting of 75% of the performance share awards, the most heavily
weighted component of our executive compensation program.
(7)The amounts reported in the prior Pay Versus Performance disclosure have been updated to include: (1) for 2021 to 2024, tax
reimbursements that were inadvertently excluded for the additional taxes incurred when a named executive officer is required to work in a
tax jurisdiction other than their primary work jurisdiction (this benefit is provided to all Company employees); and, (2) for 2023 and 2024,
dividends accrued and paid on performance shares that were inadvertently excluded.

Relationship Between Pay and Performance
Below is a description of the relationships between executive compensation actually paid by us to the PEO and the average of
the executive compensation actually paid to the named executive officers other than the PEO, and the cumulative total
shareholder return; net income (loss); and change in book value per share plus change in accumulated dividends. As
described in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” our executive compensation program is heavily weighted towards long-
term incentive awards that are settled in stock. Given this weighting towards long-term incentives, our compensation actually
paid is less impacted by our net income and change in book value per share plus change in accumulated dividends and most
greatly impacted by changes in our stock price.

2026 Long-Term Incentive Plan

| PROPOSAL 3 |
| Approval of the RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd. 2026 Long-Term Incentive Plan
|  | The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that shareholders vote FOR the approval of the 2026 Long-Term Incentive Plan.

Overview of Proposal
We are asking our shareholders to approve the 2026 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2026 Plan”). The 2026 Plan will replace
the Company’s First Amended and Restated 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”), although the Company intends
to use the 2026 Plan in a manner consistent with the Company’s prior use of the 2016 Plan in order to incentivize and retain its
employees, consultants and non-employee directors. The 2026 Plan maintains many of the governance practices and features
of the 2016 plan. The 2026 Plan was approved unanimously by the Board at its meeting on February 11, 2026.
As discussed below, the Board believes the 2026 Plan is essential to our continued success as it remains committed to our
historical philosophy of incentivizing employees by tying a significant portion of their compensation to the interests of our
shareholders. The existing share reserve under the 2016 Plan will not be sufficient to satisfy the anticipated need for additional
grants to eligible participants. As of March 12, 2026, there were 1,047,261 shares underlying outstanding awards under the
2016 Plan (with the number of shares underlying outstanding unearned performance based-awards calculated based on
maximum performance) and 381,876 shares remaining available for issuance under the 2016 Plan. Based on our historical
grant practices and certain other assumptions, including the price of our common shares, the 1,250,000 shares being
requested, which represent approximately 2.9% of our 43,253,592 outstanding common shares and 2.9% of our fully diluted
common shares as of March 12, 2026, together with the shares available for issuance under the 2016 Plan that will be carried
over into the 2026 Plan, are expected to provide us with the ability to grant awards under the 2026 Plan for approximately 5
years, following which shareholders would be able to reevaluate any additional share authorization request. If the shareholders
do not approve the 2026 Plan, the 2016 Plan will continue in full force and effect until the earlier of the depletion of the
available shares under the 2016 Plan and its expiration on May 15, 2032. Any awards granted under the 2016 Plan will
continue to be governed by the 2016 Plan.
If the 2026 Plan is not approved, we would be at a significant disadvantage for recruiting, retaining and motivating the high
caliber individuals critical to our growth and profitability and could be forced to increase cash compensation, thereby reducing
resources available to meet our business needs. Since our inception, the Board has sought to align the interests of our
employees with the long-term interests of shareholders through, among other things, a determination to place a significant
emphasis on equity-based compensation as a component of our compensation programs. The Board believes that equity
compensation of the type available for grant under the 2026 Plan, a cash- and stock-based incentive plan, furthers our goal of
creating long-term value for our shareholders by fostering an ownership culture that encourages a focus on long-term
performance, retention, and shareholder value-creation, and exposes our employees to economic diminishment if our share
performance lags.

Alignment of the 2026 Plan with the Interests of the Company and
Shareholders
At RenaissanceRe, our people are our most valuable resource and are core to our success and the execution of our strategy.
The Board believes that using equity to retain and motivate our key employees is critical to the achievement of our long-term
goals and it considered the following factors, among other things, when approving the 2026 Plan:
•Allows us to align participant and shareholder interests. The Board believes that share ownership by employees, consultants
and non-employee directors provides performance incentives and fosters long-term commitment to our benefit and to the
benefit of our shareholders;
•Allows us to recruit and retain top talent. The Board believes that the shares available under the 2026 Plan will serve a
critical role in attracting, retaining and motivating high caliber individuals essential to our success; and
•Allows us to pay-for-performance. The Board believes that equity compensation, by its very nature, is performance-based
compensation and that the 2026 Plan will reflect our pay-for-performance philosophy and motivate our employees,
consultants and non-employee directors to enhance our growth and profitability.
Key Features of the 2026 Plan
The 2026 Plan and our related governance practices and policies include many features that are designed to protect
shareholder interests. A summary of these features follows, and a more detailed description of the features of the 2026 Plan is
included under the heading “Summary of the 2026 Plan” below. The summaries in this proposal do not provide a complete
description of all the provisions of the 2026 Plan and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the 2026 Plan,
which is attached to this proxy statement as “Appendix B.” The 2026 Plan maintains many of the governance practices and
features of the 2016 plan.
•Fixed Reserve of Shares. The number of common shares available for grant under the 2026 Plan is fixed and will not
automatically increase because of an “evergreen” feature; shareholder approval is required to issue any additional shares,
allowing our shareholders to have direct input on our equity compensation program.
•No Repricing. The 2026 Plan prohibits the repricing or exchange of underwater stock options and stock appreciation
rights, as well as the cash buyout of underwater stock options and stock appreciation rights, without shareholder approval.
•No Discounted Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights. All stock options and stock appreciation rights must
have an exercise price or base price equal to or greater than the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of
grant.
•No Liberal Definition of “Change in Control.” The change in control definition contained in the 2026 Plan is not a
“liberal” definition that would be triggered on mere shareholder approval of a transaction.
•Limitation on Term of Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights. The maximum term of a stock option or
stock appreciation right under the 2026 Plan is 10 years.
•Double-Trigger Vesting. Pursuant to the 2026 Plan, the vesting of awards that are assumed or substituted in connection
with a change in control will accelerate as a result of the change in control only if a participant experiences a qualifying
termination within two years following the change in control.
•Clawback. Awards granted under the 2026 Plan are subject to our clawback and/or recoupment policies.
•Limitation on Amendments. Amendments to the 2026 Plan must be approved by our shareholders if shareholder
approval is required by applicable law or the applicable rules of the national securities exchange on which our shares are
principally listed or if the amendment would diminish the prohibition on repricing of stock options or stock appreciation rights.
•No Automatic Grants. The 2026 Plan does not provide for automatic grants to any participant.
•Independent Governance and Human Capital Committee. Our Governance and Human Capital Committee, which
will administer the 2026 Plan, consists entirely of independent directors.
•No Tax Gross-Ups. The 2026 Plan does not provide for any tax gross-ups.

| RenaissanceRe 2026 Proxy Statement | 77

•Minimum Vesting Period. No award granted under the 2026 Plan (other than any cash-based performance award) may
vest in full prior to the one-year anniversary of the date of grant, subject to limited exceptions set forth in the 2026 Plan as
described below and the Governance and Human Capital Committee’s ability to provide for accelerated exercisability or
vesting of any award, including in cases of a participant’s termination or a change in control, in the terms of the Award
Agreement or otherwise.
•Limits Annual Compensation for Non-Employee Directors. The 2026 Plan imposes a $1,500,000 annual limit on
the cash and equity compensation payable to each of our non-employee directors.
•Dividends on Performance Shares Paid Only Upon Vesting. Dividend or dividend equivalents with respect awards
subject to performance-based vesting conditions are only paid to the extent the underlying award vests.
•No Liberal Share Counting for Stock Options. Shares used to satisfy the exercise price of a stock option or to
satisfy the tax withholding obligations with respect to stock options or stock appreciation rights will not become available
again for issuance under the 2026 Plan.
Key Data
The following table includes information regarding our outstanding awards and common shares available for future awards
under the existing 2016 Plan as of March 12, 2026 (and without giving effect to approval of the 2026 Plan under this proposal):

| 2016 Plan
Total common shares underlying outstanding stock options | —
Weighted average exercise price of outstanding stock options | $—
Weighted average remaining contractual life of outstanding stock options | —
Total unvested restricted shares outstanding(1) | 1,047,261
Total common shares currently available for grant | 381,876

(1)Restricted shares include performance shares and time-vested restricted shares. All restricted shares are considered issued at the time
of grant and are included in our outstanding common shares. Performance shares are issued at the maximum potential payout. The
number of unvested restricted shares outstanding as of March 12, 2026 includes 13,963 unvested restricted shares held by our non-
employee directors.
The Governance and Human Capital Committee monitors the annual burn rate and total dilution, and grants only the number
of stock-based awards that it believes are necessary to attract, reward and retain key employees, officers and other service
providers. Burn rate, or run rate, refers to how fast a company uses the supply of shares authorized for issuance under its
share incentive plan. Over the last three years, we have maintained an average burn rate of only 0.77% of common shares
outstanding per year. Dilution measures the degree to which our shareholders’ ownership has been diluted by stock-based
compensation awarded under our share plans. The following table shows our burn rate and dilution percentages over the past
three years:

Key Equity Metric | 2023 | 2024 | 2025
Burn Rate(1) | 0.90% | 0.63% | 0.79%
Dilution(2) | 2.09% | 2.08% | 2.29%

(1)“Burn rate” is calculated by dividing the number of common shares subject to equity awards granted during the fiscal year by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the fiscal year.
(2)“Dilution” is calculated by dividing the number of common shares subject to equity awards outstanding at the end of the fiscal year by the
number of common shares outstanding at the end of the fiscal year.
After giving effect to the adoption of the 2026 Plan, the total fully-diluted overhang as of March 12, 2026 would be 3.8%. In this
context, fully-diluted overhang is calculated as the sum of grants outstanding and shares available for future awards
(numerator) divided by the sum of the numerator and basic common shares outstanding (denominator), with all data effective
as of March 12, 2026.

78 | RenaissanceRe 2026 Proxy Statement |

Our future share usage could be impacted by a number of factors such as award type mix; hiring and promotion activity at the
executive level; the rate at which shares are returned to the 2026 Plan’s reserve upon the expiration, forfeiture or cash
settlement of an award granted under the 2026 Plan or the 2016 Plan; the future performance of our share price; and other
factors.
Summary of the 2026 Plan
The following is a summary of certain material features of the 2026 Plan, which is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full
text of the 2026 Plan, which is attached to this proxy statement as “Appendix B.”
Purpose
The 2026 Plan is designed to assist us in attracting, retaining, motivating and rewarding certain of our employees, officers,
directors and other service providers, and to promote the creation of long-term value for our shareholders by closely aligning
the interests of such individuals with those of the shareholders.
Administration
The 2026 Plan will be administered by the Governance and Human Capital Committee, which has the authority to designate
participants, grant awards, determine the number of common shares to be covered by awards, determine the terms and
conditions of any awards, and construe and interpret the 2026 Plan and related award agreements. The Governance and
Human Capital Committee has the authority to accelerate the vesting of outstanding awards for any reason, including upon a
“corporate event” (as defined below) or in the event of a participant’s termination of employment. To the extent permitted by
applicable law, the Governance and Human Capital Committee is permitted to delegate its authority under the 2026 Plan to
one or more directors, officers or employees of the Company, although any award granted to any person who is subject to
Section 16 of the Exchange Act must be expressly approved by the Governance and Human Capital Committee.
Shares Available for Issuance Under the 2026 Plan
As of March 12, 2026, a total of 381,876 common shares were available for issuance under the existing 2016 Plan, 1,047,261
common shares were underlying outstanding and unvested awards under the 2016 Plan, and 1,630,955 vested common
shares were outstanding that were issued under the 2016 Plan. If our shareholders approve the 2026 Plan, in addition to the
shares available under the 2016 Plan which will be rolled over into the 2026 Plan, a new authorization of 1,250,000 common
shares will be reserved and available for future issuance under the 2026 Plan.
If any award granted under the 2026 Plan or the 2016 Plan expires or is canceled, forfeited, settled in cash or otherwise
terminated without delivery of shares to a participant, the undelivered shares will again become available for awards under the
2026 Plan. Any shares withheld for the payment of any exercise price or taxes relating to any award under the 2026 Plan or
the 2016 Plan, other than an award of options or stock appreciation rights, will not be deemed to constitute shares delivered
and will be deemed to again be available for delivery under the plan. Any shares withheld for the payment of any exercise price
or taxes relating to an option or stock appreciation right granted under the 2026 Plan or the 2016 Plan will be deemed to
constitute shares delivered and will not be available for delivery under the plan.
The maximum number of common shares reserved for issuance under the 2026 Plan that may be issued or transferred upon
exercise or settlement of incentive stock options will be 1,250,000 shares. The maximum value of any awards granted to any
non-employee director in any one calendar year, taken together with any cash fees paid to such non-employee director during
such calendar year, may not exceed $1,500,000.
Awards and the common shares authorized under the 2026 Plan, including the number of shares that may be subject to
incentive stock options, are subject to adjustment as described below under “Changes in Capital Structure.”
The closing price of a common share as reported on The New York Stock Exchange on March 12, 2026 was $291.36 per
common share.

Eligibility
The following individuals are eligible to participate in the 2026 Plan, as selected by our Governance and Human Capital
Committee for participation:
•employees and officers of the Company or its affiliates;
•non-employee directors of the Company or its affiliates;
•other individuals who provide substantial services to the Company or its affiliates as a consultant or advisor (or a wholly
owned alter ego entity of such an individual); and
•prospective employees of the Company or its affiliates, although such individuals may not receive any payment or exercise
any rights relating to awards until they have actually commenced employment.
As of March 12, 2026, there were approximately 1,047 employees and officers and 10 non-employee directors of the Company
eligible to participate in the 2026 Plan. Although non-employee directors of our subsidiaries and affiliates, consultants and
advisors would be eligible to participate in the 2026 Plan if selected by the Governance and Human Capital Committee,
historically, we do not grant equity awards to these individuals.
Grants of Awards
Pursuant to the 2026 Plan, the Governance and Human Capital Committee may grant awards of non-qualified stock options,
incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards (including cash-
based performance awards), and other stock-based awards.
Restricted Stock. An award of restricted stock is a grant of common shares which are subject to limitations on transfer
during a restricted period established in the applicable award agreement. Holders of restricted stock generally have the rights
and privileges of a shareholder with respect to their restricted stock. Unless otherwise set forth in an award agreement,
dividends with respect to the restricted stock are withheld by the Company on behalf of the participant and are subject to
vesting and forfeiture to the same degree as the shares of restricted stock to which such dividends relate; provided, however,
that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in an award agreement, any dividend or other distribution paid with respect to
shares subject to a restricted stock award that are subject to performance-based vesting conditions will be deposited with the
Company and will be subject to the same performance-based vesting conditions as the common shares with respect to which
such dividend or distribution was made. With respect to shares subject to a restricted stock award that is subject to time-based
vesting conditions, consistent with the 2016 Plan and the Company’s historical practice, the 2026 Plan allows the Company to
pay dividends on a current basis.
All of the terms relating to the satisfaction of performance measures and the termination of a restriction period or performance
period relating to a restricted stock award, or the forfeiture and cancellation of a restricted stock award (i) upon a termination of
employment, whether by reason of disability, retirement, death or any other reason, or (ii) during a paid or unpaid leave of
absence, will be determined by the Governance and Human Capital Committee.
Restricted Stock Units. A restricted stock unit is a notional unit representing the right to receive one common share (or, if
specified in the award agreement, the cash value of one common share) on a specified settlement date. When a participant
satisfies the conditions of the restricted stock unit award established by the Governance and Human Capital Committee in the
applicable award agreement, the award is settled in common shares, cash or property, as determined by the Governance and
Human Capital Committee and set forth in the award agreement. Unless otherwise set forth in an award agreement, a
participant is not entitled to any dividends or dividend equivalents with respect to the restricted stock units prior to settlement;
provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in an award agreement, any dividend or other distribution
paid with respect to shares subject to a restricted stock unit award that are subject to performance-based vesting conditions
will be deposited with the Company and will be subject to the same performance-based vesting conditions as the restricted
stock units to which relate. With respect to a restricted stock unit award that is subject to time-based vesting conditions,
consistent with the 2016 Plan, the 2026 Plan allows the Company to pay dividend equivalents on a current basis.
All of the terms relating to the satisfaction of performance measures and the termination of a restriction period or performance
period relating to a restricted stock unit award, or the forfeiture and cancellation of a restricted stock unit award (i) upon a
termination of employment, whether by reason of disability, retirement, death or any other reason, or (ii) during a paid or
unpaid leave of absence, will be determined by the Governance and Human Capital Committee.

80 | RenaissanceRe 2026 Proxy Statement |

Performance Awards. A performance award (which may be classified as a performance share, performance unit or cash
award) represents the right to receive certain amounts based on the achievement of pre-determined performance goals during
a designated performance period. The terms of each performance award are set forth in the applicable award agreement. The
Governance and Human Capital Committee is responsible for setting the applicable performance goals.
Performance goals may be established on a Company-wide basis, project or geographical basis or, as the context permits,
with respect to one or more business units, divisions, lines of business or business segments, subsidiaries, products, regions,
or other operational units or departments of the Company (or in combination thereof) or may be related to the performance of
an individual participant and may be expressed in absolute terms, or relative or comparative to (i) current internal targets or
budgets, (ii) the past performance of the Company (including the performance of one or more subsidiaries, divisions, or
operating units), (iii) the performance of one or more similarly situated companies, (iv) the performance of an index covering
multiple companies, or (v) other external measures of the selected performance criteria.
The Governance and Human Capital Committee is authorized to make adjustments in the method of calculating the attainment
of applicable performance goals to provide for adjustments, modifications or amendments, as determined in accordance with
“generally accepted accounting principles,” to any of the business criteria for one or more of the following items of gain, loss,
profit or expense: (i) determined to be extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring in nature; (ii) related to changes in accounting
principles under “generally accepted accounting principles” or tax laws; (iii) related to currency fluctuations; (iv) related to
financing activities (e.g., effect on earnings per share of issuing convertible debt securities); (v) related to restructuring,
divestitures, productivity initiatives or new business initiatives; (vi) related to discontinued operations that do not qualify as a
segment of business under “generally accepted accounting principles”; (vii) attributable to the business operations of any entity
acquired by the Company during the fiscal year; (viii) non-operating items; and (ix) acquisition or divestiture expenses.
Performance awards that have been earned as a result of the relevant performance goals being achieved may be paid in the
form of cash, common shares or other awards under the 2026 Plan (or some combination thereof).
Unless otherwise set forth in an award agreement, dividends or dividend equivalents with respect to performance awards are
withheld by the Company on behalf of the participant and are subject to vesting and forfeiture to the same degree as the
performance award to which such dividends or dividend equivalents relate; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in an award agreement, any dividends or dividend equivalents paid with respect to shares subject to a
performance award that are subject to performance-based vesting conditions will be deposited with the Company and will be
subject to the same performance-based vesting conditions applicable to the award. All of the terms relating to the satisfaction
of performance measures and the termination of a restriction period or performance period relating to a performance award, or
the forfeiture and cancellation of a performance award (i) upon a termination of employment, whether by reason of disability,
retirement, death or any other reason, or (ii) during a paid or unpaid leave of absence, will be determined by the Governance
and Human Capital Committee.
Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights. We have not granted stock options or stock appreciation rights to
anyone, including our named executive officers, since 2008 and have no present intention to grant stock options or stock
appreciation rights in the near term. No stock options or stock appreciation rights are currently outstanding. However, to
maintain maximum flexibility, the 2026 Plan allows the grant of incentive stock options, within the meaning of Section 422(b) of
the Code, non-qualified stock options and stock appreciation rights.
A stock option granted under the 2026 Plan provides a participant with the right to purchase, within a specified period of time, a
stated number of common shares at the price specified in the applicable award agreement. The exercise price applicable to a
stock option is set by the Governance and Human Capital Committee at the time of grant and may not be less than the fair
market value of a common share on the date of grant (or 110% in the case of an incentive stock option granted to a 10%
shareholder).
A stock appreciation right is a conditional right to receive an amount equal to the value of the appreciation in the common
shares over a specified period. Stock appreciation rights may be settled in common shares, cash or other property, as
specified in the award agreement or as determined by the Governance and Human Capital Committee. The base price
applicable to a stock appreciation right is set by the Governance and Human Capital Committee at the time of grant and may
not be less than the fair market value of a common share on the date of grant.
Stock options and stock appreciation rights vest in accordance with the terms of the applicable award agreement. The
maximum term of a stock option or stock appreciation right granted under the 2026 Plan is 10 years from the date of grant (or
five years in the case of an incentive stock option granted to a 10% shareholder). Payment of the exercise price of a stock
option may be made in a manner approved by the Governance and Human Capital Committee, which may include any of the

| RenaissanceRe 2026 Proxy Statement | 81

following payment methods: cash; common shares; pursuant to a broker-assisted cashless exercise in accordance with
procedures approved by the Governance and Human Capital Committee; pursuant to a delivery of a notice of “net exercise,” or
in any other form of consideration approved by the Governance and Human Capital Committee.
No incentive stock options may be granted under the 2026 Plan following the 10th anniversary of the date the 2026 Plan was
adopted by the Board.
All of the terms relating to the exercise, cancellation or other disposition of stock options and stock appreciation rights (i) upon
a termination of employment of a participant, whether by reason of disability, retirement, death or any other reason, or (ii)
during a paid or unpaid leave of absence, are determined by the Governance and Human Capital Committee. Notwithstanding
anything in the award agreement to the contrary, the holder of a stock option or stock appreciation right will not be entitled to
receive dividend equivalents with respect to the common shares subject to such stock option or stock appreciation right.
Other Stock-Based Awards. The 2026 Plan authorizes the Governance and Human Capital Committee to grant other
awards that may be denominated in, payable in, valued in, or otherwise related to our common shares. Such awards and the
terms applicable to such awards are set forth in award agreements.
Clawback; Sub-Plans. All awards granted under the 2026 Plan are subject to incentive compensation clawback and
recoupment policies implemented by the Board (or a committee or subcommittee of the Board) from time to time. In addition,
the Governance and Human Capital Committee may adopt such procedures and sub-plans as are necessary or appropriate to
permit participation in the 2026 Plan by individuals who are non-U.S. nationals or are primarily employed or providing services
outside the United States or Bermuda, and may modify the terms of any awards granted to such participants in a manner
deemed by the Governance and Human Capital Committee to be necessary or appropriate in order that such awards conform
with the laws of the country or countries where such participants are located.
No Repricing of Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights. No stock option or stock appreciation right may be
repriced without shareholder approval. For purposes of the 2026 Plan, “repricing” means any of the following: (i) changing the
terms of a stock option or stock appreciation right to lower its exercise price or base price (other than on account of capital
adjustments as described below under “Changes in Capital Structure”), (ii) any other action that is treated as a repricing under
“generally accepted accounting principles,” and (iii) repurchasing for cash or canceling a stock option or stock appreciation
right in exchange for another award at a time when its exercise price or base price is greater than the fair market value of the
underlying common shares.
Minimum Vesting Period. Except as provided below, no award granted under the 2026 Plan (other than any cash-based
performance award) may vest in full over a period that is less than one year from the date of grant. Under the 2026 Plan, in
accordance with the Company’s administrative procedures to use a pre-set annual grant date, the Company may grant awards
that vest in installments, with the first installment vesting prior to the one-year anniversary of the grant date. The 2026 Plan’s
minimum vesting period does not apply: (i) to awards granted in payment of or exchange for an equivalent amount of salary,
bonus or other earned cash compensation (including performance shares); (ii) to a substitute award that does not reduce the
vesting period of the award being replaced or assumed; (iii) to awards to non-employee directors that vest on the earlier of the
one-year anniversary of the date of grant and the next annual meeting of stockholders which is at least 50 weeks after the
immediately preceding year’s annual meeting; or (iv) to awards involving an aggregate number of common shares not in
excess of 5% of the aggregate number of common shares that may be delivered in connection with awards under the 2026
Plan (subject to adjustment as described below under “Changes in Capital Structure”); provided, further, that the minimum
vesting restriction in the 2026 Plan does not apply to the Governance and Human Capital Committee’s discretion under the
2026 Plan to provide for accelerated exercisability or vesting of any award, including upon a corporate event or in the event of
a participant’s termination.
Changes in Capital Structure
In the event of any equity restructuring (within the meaning of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards
Codification Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, or any successor or replacement accounting standard) that
causes the per share value of the common shares to change, such as a share dividend, share split, spinoff, rights offering or
recapitalization through an extraordinary cash dividend, the number and class of securities available under the 2026 Plan, the
terms of each outstanding option and stock appreciation right, the terms of each outstanding restricted stock award and
restricted stock unit award, and the terms of each outstanding performance award will be appropriately adjusted by the
Governance and Human Capital Committee. In the event of any other change in corporate capitalization, including a merger,

82 | RenaissanceRe 2026 Proxy Statement |

consolidation, reorganization, or partial or complete liquidation of the Company, such equitable adjustments described in the
foregoing sentence may be made as determined to be appropriate and equitable by the Governance and Human Capital
Committee to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights of participants.
Corporate Events
For purposes of the 2026 Plan, a “corporate event” means:
•a merger, amalgamation, or consolidation involving the Company in which the Company is not the surviving corporation;
•a merger, amalgamation, or consolidation involving the Company in which the Company is the surviving corporation but the
holders of common shares receive securities of another corporation or other property or cash;
•a “change in control” (as defined in the 2026 Plan); or
•a reorganization, dissolution or liquidation of the Company.
Pursuant to the 2026 Plan, in connection with a corporate event, the Governance and Human Capital Committee may take any
of the following actions:
•require that outstanding awards be assumed or substituted in connection with such event;
•accelerate the vesting of any outstanding awards not assumed or substituted in connection with such event, subject to the
consummation of such event; provided that any awards that vest subject to the achievement of performance criteria will be
deemed earned at target level or any other level determined by the Governance and Human Capital Committee, including
any level specified in the award agreement;
•cancel outstanding awards not assumed or substituted in connection with such event upon the consummation of such event
(whether vested or unvested) and provide award holders with the per-share consideration being received by our
shareholders in connection with such event in exchange for their awards (or, with respect to a cash award, the amount
payable pursuant to the award);
•cancel all outstanding stock options, stock appreciation rights or other awards (whether vested or unvested) subject to
exercise not assumed or substituted in connection with such event as of the consummation of such event, and provide the
holder at least 10 days to exercise each stock option, stock appreciation right or other award canceled prior to the
consummation of such event; or
•replace outstanding awards with a cash incentive program that preserves the value of the replaced awards and contains
identical vesting conditions.
Pursuant to the 2026 Plan, the vesting, payment, purchase or distribution of any award that is assumed or substituted in
connection with a “change in control” will accelerate in the event the participant’s employment is involuntarily terminated (or, in
the case of a non-employee director of the Company, if the non-employee director’s service on the Board terminates in
connection with or as a result of a “change in control”) during the two-year period commencing on the “change in control.”
Non-Transferability of Awards
Except as otherwise provided by the Governance and Human Capital Committee, awards are generally non-transferable other
than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and restricted stock is generally non-transferable.
Termination and Amendment
The Board or the Governance and Human Capital Committee may amend or terminate the 2026 Plan at any time, except that
no amendment may, without shareholder approval, violate the shareholder approval requirements of the national securities
exchange on which the common shares are principally listed. Unless sooner terminated, the 2026 Plan will terminate on the
day before the 10th anniversary of the date the shareholders of the Company approve the 2026 Plan.
Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences
The following is a brief discussion of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences for awards granted under the 2026 Plan.
The 2026 Plan is not subject to the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and it
is not, nor is it intended to be, qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code. This discussion is based on current law, is not
intended to constitute tax advice, and does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to a
particular participant in light of his or her personal circumstances and does not describe foreign, state, or local tax

| RenaissanceRe 2026 Proxy Statement | 83

consequences, which may be substantially different. Holders of awards under the 2026 Plan are encouraged to consult with
their own tax advisors.
Non-Qualified Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights. With respect to non-qualified stock options and stock
appreciation rights, (i) no income is realized by a participant at the time the award is granted; (ii) generally, at exercise,
ordinary income is realized by the participant in an amount equal to the difference between the exercise or base price and the
fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise, and the participant’s employer is generally entitled to a compensation
deduction for U.S. federal income tax purposes in the same amount; and (iii) upon a subsequent sale of the shares received
on exercise, appreciation (or depreciation) after the date of exercise is treated as either short-term or long-term capital gain (or
loss) depending on how long the shares have been held.
Incentive Stock Options. No income is realized by a participant upon the grant or exercise of an incentive stock option;
however, such participant is generally required to include the excess of the fair market value of the shares at exercise over the
exercise price in his or her alternative minimum taxable income. If shares are issued to a participant pursuant to the exercise
of an incentive stock option, and if no disposition of such shares is made by such participant within two years after the date of
grant or within one year after the transfer of such shares to such participant (any disposition within such period is a
“disqualifying disposition”), then (i) upon sale of such shares, any amount realized in excess of the exercise price will be taxed
to such participant as a long-term capital gain, and any loss sustained will be a long-term capital loss, and (ii) no compensation
deduction will be allowed to the participant’s employer for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
If shares acquired upon the exercise of an incentive stock option are disposed of in a disqualifying disposition as described
above, generally (i) the participant will realize ordinary income in the year of disposition in an amount equal to the excess (if
any) of the fair market value of such shares at exercise (or, if less, the amount realized on the disposition of such shares) over
the exercise price paid for such shares and (ii) the participant’s employer will generally be entitled to deduct such amount as a
compensation deduction for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Any further gain (or loss) realized by the participant will be
taxed as short-term or long-term capital gain (or loss), as the case may be.
Subject to certain exceptions for disability or death, if an incentive stock option is exercised more than three months following
termination of employment, the exercise of the sto ck option will generally be taxed as the exercise of a non-qualified stock
option.
Other Awards. The tax effects related to other stock-based awards under the 2026 Plan are dependent upon the structure of
the particular award.
Withholding. At the time a participant is required to recognize ordinary compensation income resulting from an award, such
income will be subject to U.S. federal (including, except as described below, Social Security and Medicare tax) and applicable
state and local income tax and applicable tax withholding requirements.
New Plan Benefits
Because awards to be granted in the future under the 2026 Plan are at the discretion of the Governance and Human Capital
Committee, it is not possible to determine the benefits or the amounts that have been or will be received by eligible participants
under the 2026 Plan.
Future Plan Awards
No awards have been granted to any participant pursuant to the 2026 Plan that are contingent upon the approval by our
shareholders of the 2026 Plan. We anticipate that equity-based awards may be granted in the discretion of the Governance
and Human Capital Committee under the 2026 Plan out of the additional common shares to be reserved for issuance in
connection with the approval of the 2026 Plan; however, the number of common shares that may be so granted will be based
upon various prospective factors, including the nature of services to be rendered by the eligible participants and their potential
contributions to our success. Accordingly, the number, type and grantee(s) of actual future awards cannot be determined at
this time.

Overview of Proposal
The Audit Committee evaluates the performance of our independent registered public accounting firm each year and
determines whether to reengage them or consider other firms. In doing so, the Audit Committee considers the auditor’s service
quality and efficiency, capability, technical expertise and knowledge of our operations and industry. In addition, the Audit
Committee is involved in the selection of our independent registered public accounting firm’s lead engagement partner and
ensures that the mandated rotation of the lead partner occurs routinely. Upon recommendation of the Audit Committee, the
Board has appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers Ltd. to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the 2026
fiscal year. We have engaged PricewaterhouseCoopers Ltd. in this capacity since 2022.
A representative of PricewaterhouseCoopers Ltd. is expected to attend the Annual Meeting. The representative will have an
opportunity to make a statement if the representative so desires and will be available to respond to appropriate questions from
shareholders.
Recommendation and Vote
In accordance with Bermuda law, our shareholders have the authority to approve the appointment of our independent
registered public accounting firm and a proposal will be submitted to the shareholders at the Annual Meeting for approval of
the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers Ltd. Shareholders at the Annual Meeting will also be asked to vote to refer the
determination of the auditor’s remuneration to the Board. Approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of
the votes cast at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon.

General Information
About the Proxy Materials and the Annual Meeting
This proxy statement summarizes the information you need to know to vote at the Annual Meeting. The notice regarding the
availability of proxy materials, this proxy statement, the Notice of Annual General Meeting of Shareholders and the proxy card
are first being made available to shareholders on or about March 18, 2026, concurrently with the distribution of our 2025
Annual Report to Shareholders. Our Annual Report shall not be deemed to be part of this proxy statement.
Record Date
The Board has set March 5, 2026 as the record date for the Annual Meeting. On the record date, there were 43,153,808
shares of our common stock outstanding and entitled to vote.
Shareholders Entitled to Vote
If you were the beneficial owner of common shares held in street name, or a shareholder of record with respect to our common
shares at the close of business on the record date, you are entitled to notice of, and may vote at, the Annual Meeting. The
common shares are our only class of equity securities outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.
Each of our common shares entitles its holder to one vote on each matter that is voted upon at the Annual Meeting or any
postponements or adjournments thereof, subject to certain provisions of our Bye-laws that reduce the total voting power of any
shareholder owning, directly or indirectly, beneficially or otherwise, as described in our Bye-laws, more than 9.9% of the
common shares to not more than 9.9% of the total voting power of our capital stock unless otherwise waived at the discretion
of the Board. In addition, the Board may limit a shareholder’s voting rights where the Board deems it necessary to do so to
avoid adverse tax, legal or regulatory consequences. The reduction of such voting power may have the effect of increasing
another shareholder’s voting power to more than 9.9%, thereby requiring a corresponding reduction in such other
shareholder’s voting power.
Because the applicability of the voting power reduction provisions to any particular shareholder depends on facts and
circumstances that may be known only to the shareholder or related persons, we request that any holder of common shares
with reason to believe that it is a shareholder whose common shares carry more than 9.9% of the voting power of
RenaissanceRe contact us promptly so that we may determine whether the voting power of such holder’s common shares
should be reduced. The Board is empowered to require any shareholder to provide information as to that shareholder’s
beneficial ownership of common shares, the names of persons having beneficial ownership of the shareholder’s common
shares, relationships with other shareholders or any other facts the directors may consider relevant to the determination of the
number of common shares attributable to any person. The Board may disregard the votes attached to common shares of any
holder who fails to respond to such a request or who, in the Board’s judgment, submits incomplete or inaccurate information.
The Board retains the discretion to make such final adjustments that it considers fair and reasonable in all circumstances as to
the aggregate number of votes attaching to the common shares of any shareholder to ensure that no shareholder’s voting
power is more than 9.9% of the total voting power of our capital stock at any time.
These voting power restrictions may be waived by the Board in its sole discretion. To date, the Board has consistently enforced
these voting power restrictions.
Quorum
Two persons present in person and throughout the Annual Meeting representing in person or by proxy more than 50% of the
issued common shares entitled to vote on the matters to be considered at the Annual Meeting form a quorum for the
transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. Withheld votes for the election of directors, abstentions and “broker non-
votes” (shares held by a broker or nominee that does not have discretionary authority to vote on a particular matter and has
not received voting instructions from its client) will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present.

90 | RenaissanceRe 2026 Proxy Statement |

Vote Required
The Board has adopted a majority vote standard in uncontested director elections, which means that director nominees for
whom the number of votes cast FOR that director’s election exceeds the number of votes cast AGAINST that director’s
election (with abstentions and broker non-votes not counted as a vote cast either FOR or AGAINST a director’s election) will
be elected as a director at the Annual Meeting. In the event that a nominee for election fails to receive a majority of the votes
cast at an election which is uncontested, such nominee will tender an irrevocable resignation, and the Board will decide
whether to accept or reject the resignation no later than ninety (90) days following certification of the election results. Because
we did not receive proper advance notice in accordance with our Bye-laws of any shareholder nominees for director, the
election of directors solicited hereby is an uncontested election.
Your bank, broker or other nominee is not permitted to vote your shares on any proposal that is considered to be non-routine
under the rules of the NYSE unless it has received your specific voting instructions with respect to that proposal. For routine
matters, unless your proxy indicates otherwise, the persons named as your proxies will vote your shares according to the
recommendation of the Board.
A hand vote will be taken unless a poll is requested pursuant to our Bye-laws.
The following table summarizes the voting options, vote required for approval and effect of abstentions and broker non-votes
for each proposal to be considered at the Annual Meeting:

Proposal | Board Recommendation | Voting Options | Voting Approval Standard | Effect of Abstentions | Broker Discretionary Voting Allowed? | Effect of Broker Non-Votes
Election of four Class I director nominees named in this proxy statement |  |  | FOR each director nominee | FOR, AGAINST or ABSTAIN for each director nominee | The number of votes cast FOR that director’s election exceeds the number of votes cast AGAINST that director’s election as a director at the Annual Meeting | No effect | No | No effect
Advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers |  |  | FOR | FOR, AGAINST or ABSTAIN | Majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting | No effect | No | No effect
Approval of the RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd. 2026 Long-Term Incentive Plan |  |  | FOR | FOR, AGAINST or ABSTAIN | Majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting | No effect | No | No effect
Approval of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers Ltd. as our independent registered public accounting firm for the 2026 fiscal year and the referral of the auditor’s remuneration to the Board |  |  | FOR | FOR, AGAINST or ABSTAIN | Majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting | No effect | Yes | Not applicable

How to Vote
Shareholder of Record
If your common shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., you
are considered the shareholder of record with respect to those shares, and the notice regarding the availability of proxy
materials was sent directly to you by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), our tabulation agent.
If you are a shareholder of record, you may vote in person at the Annual Meeting, in which case we will give you a ballot when
you arrive. If you do not wish to vote in person or if you will not be attending the Annual Meeting, you may vote (1) by proxy
over the Internet by following the instructions provided in the notice; or (2) if you requested printed copies of the proxy
materials by mail, you must either (a) fill out the enclosed proxy card, date and sign it and return it in the enclosed postage
paid envelope; or (b) vote using the Internet (instructions are on the proxy card).
Beneficial Owner of Common Shares Held in Street Name
If your common shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer or similar organization, then you are the
beneficial owner of common shares held in street name, and the notice regarding the availability of proxy materials should
have been forwarded to you by that organization. The organization holding your account is considered the shareholder of
record for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. As a beneficial owner of common shares held in street name, you have
the right to direct that organization on how to vote the common shares held in your account.
If you are a beneficial owner of common shares held in street name and you wish to vote in person at the Annual Meeting, you
must obtain and produce at the Annual Meeting a valid proxy from the organization that holds your common shares along with
valid identification. We will give you a ballot when you arrive.
If you do not wish to vote in person or you will not be attending the Annual Meeting, you have the right to direct your brokerage
firm, bank, broker-dealer or similar organization on how to vote the common shares held in your account. Please refer to the
voting instructions provided by such organization for directions as to how to vote the common shares that you beneficially own.
Revoking Your Proxy
You may change your vote or revoke your proxy at any time before your proxy is voted at the Annual Meeting. You may vote
again on a later date by following the same procedures by which you submitted your original vote, or by attending the Annual
Meeting and voting in person. However, your attendance at the Annual Meeting will not automatically revoke your proxy unless
you vote again at the Annual Meeting or specifically request in writing that your prior proxy be revoked. Your latest vote or
proxy, however submitted, will be counted. If you wish to change your vote or revoke your proxy, you must do so in sufficient
time to permit the necessary examination and tabulation of the subsequent proxy or revocation before the vote is taken.
Effect of Not Voting
Shareholder of Record
If you are a shareholder of record and you indicate when voting on the Internet that you wish to vote as recommended by our
Board or sign and return a proxy card without giving specific voting instructions, then the proxies will vote your shares in the
manner recommended by our Board on all matters presented in this proxy statement and as the proxies may determine in their
discretion with respect to any other matters properly presented for a vote at the Annual Meeting. Withheld votes for election of
directors and proxies marked as abstentions to a proposal will not be counted except for purposes of determining whether a
quorum is present.

92 | RenaissanceRe 2026 Proxy Statement |

Beneficial Owner of Common Shares Held in Street Name
If you are a beneficial owner of common shares held in street name and the organization that holds your shares does not
receive instructions from you on how to vote your shares on a non-routine matter at least 10 days before the Annual Meeting,
the organization that holds your shares will inform our inspector of election that it does not have the authority to vote on this
matter with respect to your shares. When our inspector of election tabulates the votes for any particular non-routine matter,
broker non-votes (like abstentions) will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present, but will not
otherwise be counted. We encourage you to provide voting instructions to the organization that holds your shares by carefully
following the instructions provided by that organization.
Proxy Solicitation
Your proxy is being solicited by the Board. We have engaged the firm of MacKenzie Partners to act as the solicitation agent on
behalf of the Board to assist in the solicitation of proxies for a fee of $17,500, plus the reimbursement of certain expenses, paid
by us. The persons named in the proxy card have been designated as proxies by the Board and are officers of
RenaissanceRe.
Further solicitation may be made by our directors, officers and employees personally, by telephone, Internet or otherwise, but
such persons will not be specifically compensated for such services. We may also solicit, through bankers, brokers, or other
persons, proxies from beneficial holders of the common shares. Upon request, we will reimburse brokers, dealers, banks, or
similar entities for reasonable expenses incurred in forwarding copies of the proxy materials relating to the Annual Meeting to
the beneficial owners of common shares that such persons hold of record.
Notice and Access
Pursuant to rules adopted by the Commission and applicable Bermuda law, we are providing access to our proxy materials
over the Internet, which will save costs and paper. On or about March 18, 2026, we mailed a notice regarding the availability of
proxy materials, which contains basic information about the Annual Meeting and instructions on how to view all proxy materials
on a website referred to in the notice or to request to receive a printed set of the proxy materials.
The notice regarding availability of proxy materials will also provide you with instructions on how to request that we send our
future proxy materials to you electronically by e-mail or to request to receive printed copies of future proxy materials by mail.
Multiple Notices or Sets of Printed Proxy Materials
If you receive multiple notices or sets of printed proxy materials, it generally means that you hold common shares registered in
more than one account. To ensure that all of your shares are voted, please vote in the manner described above with respect to
each notice or in the proxy card accompanying the proxy materials.
Appraisal Rights
The Board has not proposed for consideration at the Annual Meeting any transaction for which the laws of Bermuda grant
appraisal rights to shareholders.
Voting Results
Preliminary voting results will be announced at the Annual Meeting. Final voting results will be tallied by our inspector of
election and filed with the SEC on a Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days following the Annual Meeting.

copy of annual reports, proxy statements, prospectuses and other disclosure documents if they consent to do so. This is
known as “householding.” We will allow householding only upon certain conditions. Some of those conditions are:
•You agree to, or do not object to, the householding of your materials; and
•You have the same last name and exact address as another investor(s).
If these conditions are met, and SEC regulations allow, your household will receive a single copy of annual reports, proxy
statements, prospectuses and other disclosure documents.

94 | RenaissanceRe 2026 Proxy Statement |

You may revoke a prior householding consent at any time by contacting Broadridge, either by calling toll-free at
1-866-540-7095, or by writing to Broadridge, Householding Department, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717. We
will remove you from the householding program within 30 days of receipt of your response, following which you will receive an
individual copy of our disclosure document. Shareholders sharing an address and wishing to receive a single set of reports
may do so by contacting their banks or brokers, if they are beneficial holders, or by contacting Broadridge at the address set
forth above if they are record holders.

Cautionary Statement Regarding
Forward-Looking Statements
Any forward-looking statements made in this Proxy Statement reflect RenaissanceRe’s current views with respect to future

Reform Act of 1995. These statements are subject to numerous factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from

portfolio and financial market volatility; the effects of inflation; our exposure to ceding companies and delegated authority
counterparties and the risks they underwrite; our ability to maintain our financial strength ratings; our reliance on a small
number of brokers; the highly competitive nature of our industry; the historically cyclical nature of the (re)insurance industries;
collection on claimed retrocessional coverage and new retrocessional reinsurance being available; our ability to attract and
retain key executives and employees; our ability to successfully implement our business, strategies and initiatives; our
exposure to credit loss from counterparties; our need to make many estimates and judgments in the preparation of our

Appendix A: Reconciliation of
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We have included certain non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G in this proxy statement. We have
provided certain of these financial measures in previous investor communications and our management believes that such
measures are important to investors and other interested persons, and that investors and such other persons benefit from
having a consistent basis for comparison between periods and for comparison with other companies within or outside the
industry. These measures may not, however, be comparable to similarly titled measures used by companies within or outside
of the insurance industry. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these non-GAAP measures in assessing our
overall financial performance.
Operating Income (Loss) Available (Attributable) to RenaissanceRe Common
Shareholders and Operating Return on Average Common Equity
We use “operating income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders” as a measure to evaluate
the underlying fundamentals of our operations and believe it to be a useful measure of our corporate performance. “Operating
income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders” as used herein differs from “net income (loss)
available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders,” which we believe is the most directly comparable GAAP
measure, by the exclusion of (1) net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments, excluding other investments -
catastrophe bonds, (2) net foreign exchange gains and losses, (3) expenses or revenues associated with acquisitions,
dispositions and impairments, (4) acquisition related purchase accounting adjustments, (5) the Bermuda net deferred tax
benefit recorded prior to the January 1, 2025 effective date of the Bermuda corporate income tax and the Bermuda deferred
tax benefit resulting from Bermuda law changes enacted in 2025, (6) the income tax expense or benefit associated with these
adjustments, and (7) the portion of these adjustments attributable to our redeemable noncontrolling interests. We also use
“operating income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders” to calculate “operating income
(loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders per common share - diluted” and “operating return on
average common equity.”
Our management believes that “operating income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders,”
“operating income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders per common share - diluted” and
“operating return on average common equity” are useful to management and investors because they provide for better
comparability and more accurately measure our results of operations and remove variability. Additionally, management
believes that these measures provide a view of our underlying business that allows for better comparisons of our performance
over time by focusing on our core business operations.
The following table is a reconciliation of: (1) net income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders
to “operating income (loss) available (attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders”; (2) net income (loss) available
(attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders per common share - diluted to “operating income (loss) available
(attributable) to RenaissanceRe common shareholders per common share - diluted”; and (3) return on average common equity
to “operating return on average common equity.”

Tangible Book Value Per Common Share and Tangible Book Value Per Common
Share Plus Accumulated Dividends
We have included in this Proxy Statement “tangible book value per common share” and “tangible book value per common
share plus accumulated dividends.” “Tangible book value per common share” is defined as book value per common share
excluding per share amounts for (1) acquisition related goodwill and other intangible assets, (2) other goodwill and intangible
assets, and (3) acquisition related purchase accounting adjustments. “Tangible book value per common share plus
accumulated dividends” is defined as book value per common share excluding per share amounts for (1) acquisition related
goodwill and other intangible assets, (2) other goodwill and intangible assets, and (3) acquisition related purchase accounting
adjustments, plus accumulated dividends.
Our management believes “tangible book value per common share” and “tangible book value per common share plus
accumulated dividends” are useful to investors because they provide a more accurate measure of the realizable value of
shareholder returns by excluding the impact of goodwill and intangible assets and acquisition related purchase accounting
adjustments to provide for better comparability and a more accurate measure of our underlying operations. The following table
is a reconciliation of book value per common share to “tangible book value per common share” and “tangible book value per

shareholders of the Company by closely aligning the interests of such individuals with those of such shareholders. The Plan

shall be null and void in its entirety and the Prior Plan shall remain in effect. Any awards granted under the Prior Plan shall
continue to be governed by (and remain subject to) the provisions of the Prior Plan.

employment or service could have been terminated for Cause, such Participant’s employment or service shall, at the
discretion of the Committee, be deemed to have been terminated by the Service Recipient for Cause for all purposes
under the Plan, and the Participant shall be required to repay or return to the Company all amounts and benefits received

periods in such Award Agreement or Participant Agreement are complied with.

3.Administration.
(a)Authority of the Committee. Except as otherwise provided below, the Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The
Committee shall have full and final authority, in each case subject to and consistent with the provisions of the Plan, to
(1) select Eligible Persons to become Participants, (2) grant Awards, (3) determine the type, number of shares of Stock
subject to, other terms and conditions of, and all other matters relating to, Awards, (4) prescribe Award Agreements (which
need not be identical for each Participant) and rules and regulations for the administration of the Plan, (5) construe and
interpret the Plan and Award Agreements and correct defects, supply omissions, and reconcile inconsistencies therein,
(6) suspend the right to exercise Awards during any period that the Committee deems appropriate to comply with
applicable securities laws, and thereafter extend the exercise period of an Award by an equivalent period of time or such
shorter period required by, or necessary to comply with, applicable law, and (7) make all other decisions and
determinations as the Committee may deem necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. Any action of the
Committee shall be final, conclusive, and binding on all Persons, including, without limitation, the Company, its
shareholders and Affiliates, Eligible Persons, Participants, and beneficiaries of Participants. Notwithstanding anything in
the Plan to the contrary, the Committee shall have the ability to accelerate the vesting of any outstanding Award at any
time and for any reason. For the avoidance of doubt, the Board shall have the authority to take all actions under the Plan
that the Committee is permitted to take.
(b)Delegation. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Committee may delegate to one or more directors, officers or
employees of the Company or any of its Affiliates, or committees thereof, the authority, subject to such terms as the
Committee shall determine, to perform such functions under the Plan, including, but not limited to, administrative
functions, as the Committee may determine appropriate. The Committee may appoint agents to assist it in administering
the Plan. Any actions taken by a director, an officer or employee delegated authority pursuant to this Section 3(b) within
the scope of such delegation shall, for all purposes under the Plan, be deemed to be an action taken by the Committee.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, any Award granted under the Plan to any
Eligible Person who is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act must be expressly approved by the Committee.
(c)Section 409A; Section 457A. Awards granted hereunder are intended to be structured in a manner to avoid the imposition
of any penalty taxes under Sections 409A and 457A of the Code; provided, however, that in no event whatsoever shall the
Company or any of its Affiliates be liable for any additional tax, interest, or penalties that may be imposed on a Participant
as a result of Section 409A or Section 457A of the Code or any damages for failing to comply with Section 409A or
Section 457A of the Code or any similar state or local laws (other than for withholding obligations or other obligations
applicable to employers, if any, under Section 409A or Section 457A of the Code). Any payments in respect of an Award
constituting nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code that are payable upon a Termination
shall (i) only be paid to the extent such Termination constitutes a “separation from service” under Section 409A of the
Code and (ii) shall be delayed for such period as may be necessary to meet the requirements of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i)
of the Code and, on the first business day following the expiration of such period, the Participant shall be paid, in a single
lump sum without interest, an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all payments delayed pursuant to this clause, and
any remaining payments not so delayed shall continue to be paid pursuant to the payment schedule applicable to such
Award.
4.Shares Available Under the Plan; Other Limitations.
(a)Number of Shares Available for Delivery. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 10 hereof, the total number of
shares of Stock reserved and available for delivery in connection with Awards under the Plan shall equal (i) 1,250,000 plus
(ii) any shares of Stock that are available for Awards under the Prior Plan as of the Effective Date. The number of shares
of Stock that remain available for future grants under the Plan shall be reduced by the sum of the aggregate number of
shares of Stock which become subject to outstanding Awards, other than Substitute Awards. Shares of Stock delivered
under the Plan shall consist of authorized and unissued shares or previously issued shares of Stock reacquired by the
Company on the open market or by private purchase. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) except as may be required by
reason of Section 422 of the Code, the number of shares of Stock available for issuance hereunder shall not be reduced
by shares issued pursuant to Awards issued or assumed in connection with a merger or acquisition as contemplated by,
as applicable, NYSE Listed Company Manual Section 303A.08, NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635(c) and IM-5635-1, or other

| RenaissanceRe 2026 Proxy Statement | B-7

applicable stock exchange rules, and their respective successor rules and listing exchange promulgations (each such
Award, a “Substitute Award”); and (ii) shares of Stock shall not be deemed to have been issued pursuant to the Plan with
respect to any portion of an Award that is settled in cash. Shares issued under the Plan will only be in whole shares. In
the event that fractional shares would otherwise be issuable, the number of shares issuable will be rounded down to the
next lower whole number of shares.
(b)Share Counting Rules. The Committee may adopt reasonable counting procedures to ensure appropriate counting, avoid
double-counting (as, for example, in the case of tandem awards or Substitute Awards) and make adjustments if the
number of shares of Stock actually delivered differs from the number of shares previously counted in connection with an
Award. Other than with respect to a Substitute Award, to the extent that an Award granted under this Plan or the Prior
Plan expires or is canceled, forfeited, reacquired, settled in cash, or otherwise terminated without delivery to the
Participant of the full number of shares of Stock to which such Award related, the undelivered shares of Stock will again
be available for grant. Shares of Stock subject to an award granted under this Plan or the Prior Plan, other than an
Option or Stock Appreciation Right, shall again become available for issuance under this Plan if such shares are delivered
to or withheld by the Company to pay the withholding taxes payable with respect to such award. Shares of Stock subject
to an Option or Stock Appreciation Right granted under this Plan or the Prior Plan shall not again be available for issuance
under this Plan if such shares are (i) shares that were not issued or delivered upon the net settlement or net exercise of
such Option or Stock-settled Stock Appreciation Right (including, without limitation, any shares withheld to pay the
exercise price or withholding taxes of an Option or Stock-settled Stock Appreciation Right), (ii) shares delivered to the
Company to pay the exercise price or the withholding taxes related to such outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right
or (iii) shares repurchased by the Company on the open market with the proceeds of an Option exercise.
(c)Director Compensation Limits; Incentive Stock Options.
i.Limitation on Awards to Non-Employee Directors. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the maximum
value of any Awards granted to a non-employee director of the Company in any one calendar year, taken
together with any cash fees paid to such non-employee director during such calendar year, shall not exceed
US$1,500,000 (calculating the value of any such Awards based on the grant date fair value of such Awards for
financial reporting purposes and excluding, for this purpose, the value of any dividend equivalent payments paid
pursuant to any Award granted in a previous year); provided, however, that this limit shall not apply to
compensation received by the director in his or her capacity as an executive officer or employee of the Company
or an Affiliate.
ii.No more than 1,250,000 shares of Stock (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 10 hereof) reserved for
issuance hereunder may be issued or transferred upon exercise or settlement of Incentive Stock Options.
(d)Shares Available Under Acquired Plans. To the extent permitted by NYSE Listed Company Manual Section 303A.08,
NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635(c) or other applicable stock exchange rules, subject to applicable law, in the event that a
company acquired by the Company or with which the Company combines has shares available under a pre-existing plan
approved by shareholders and not adopted in contemplation of such acquisition or combination, the shares available for
grant pursuant to the terms of such pre-existing plan (as adjusted, to the extent appropriate, using the exchange ratio or
other adjustment or valuation ratio of formula used in such acquisition or combination to determine the consideration
payable to the holders of common stock of the entities party to such acquisition or combination) may be used for Awards
under the Plan and shall not reduce the number of shares of Stock reserved and available for delivery in connection with
Awards under the Plan; provided that Awards using such available shares shall not be made after the date awards could
have been made under the terms of such pre-existing plan, absent the acquisition or combination, and shall only be made
to individuals who were not employed by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company immediately prior to such
acquisition or combination.
(e)Minimum Vesting Period. No Award (other than any Performance Cash Award) may vest in full over a period that is less
than one (1) year from the date of grant; provided, however, that the foregoing minimum vesting period shall not apply:
(i) to Awards granted in payment of or exchange for an equivalent amount of salary, bonus or other earned cash
compensation (including Performance Shares); (ii) to a Substitute Award that does not reduce the vesting period of the
award being replaced or assumed; (iii) to Awards to non-employee directors that vest on earlier of the one-year
anniversary of the date of grant and the next annual meeting of stockholders which is at least 50 weeks after the
immediately preceding year’s annual meeting; or (iv) to Awards involving an aggregate number of shares of Stock not in
excess of five percent (5%) of the aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be delivered in connection with Awards

B-8 | RenaissanceRe 2026 Proxy Statement |

(as set forth in Section 4 hereof); provided, further, that the foregoing restriction does not apply to the Committee’s
discretion under Section 3(a) to provide for accelerated exercisability or vesting of any Award, including upon a Corporate
Event, subject to Section 10(d), or in the event of a Participant’s Termination.
5.Restricted Stock.
(a)General. Restricted Stock may be granted to Eligible Persons in such form and having such terms and conditions as the
Committee shall deem appropriate. The provisions of separate Awards of Restricted Stock shall be set forth in separate
Restricted Stock Agreements, which agreements need not be identical. Subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 5(b)
hereof, and except as otherwise set forth in the applicable Restricted Stock Agreement, the Participant shall generally
have the rights and privileges of a shareholder as to such Restricted Stock, including the right to vote such Restricted
Stock. Unless otherwise set forth in a Participant’s Restricted Stock Agreement, cash dividends and stock dividends, if
any, with respect to the Restricted Stock shall be withheld by the Company for the Participant’s account, and shall be
subject to forfeiture to the same degree as the shares of Restricted Stock to which such dividends relate; provided,
however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in a Restricted Stock Agreement, any dividend or other distribution
paid with respect to shares subject to a Restricted Stock Award that are subject to performance-based vesting conditions
shall be deposited with the Company and shall be subject to the same performance-based vesting conditions as the
shares of Stock with respect to which such dividend or distribution was made. Except as otherwise determined by the
Committee, no interest will accrue or be paid on the amount of any cash dividends withheld.
(b)Vesting and Restrictions on Transfer. Subject to Section 4(e), Restricted Stock shall vest in such manner, on such date or
dates, or upon the achievement of performance or other conditions, in each case as may be determined by the Committee
and set forth in a Restricted Stock Agreement; provided, however, that notwithstanding any such vesting dates, the
Committee may in its sole discretion accelerate the vesting of any Award of Restricted Stock at any time and for any
reason. Unless otherwise set forth in the Restricted Stock Agreement or specifically determined by the Committee, the
vesting of an Award of Restricted Stock shall occur only while the Participant is employed by or rendering services to the
Service Recipient, and all vesting shall cease upon a Participant’s Termination for any reason. To the extent permitted by
applicable law and unless otherwise determined by the Committee, vesting shall be suspended during the period of any
approved unpaid leave of absence by a Participant following which the Participant has a right to reinstatement and shall
resume upon such Participant’s return to active employment. In addition to any other restrictions set forth in a
Participant’s Restricted Stock Agreement, the Participant shall not be permitted to sell, transfer, pledge, or otherwise
encumber the Restricted Stock prior to the time the Restricted Stock has vested pursuant to the terms of the Restricted
Stock Agreement.
(c)Termination of Employment or Service. All of the terms relating to the satisfaction of the vesting terms relating to a
Restricted Stock Award, or any forfeiture and cancellation of such Award, (i) upon such Participant’s Termination, whether
by reason of Disability, retirement, death or any other reason, or (ii) during a paid or unpaid leave of absence, shall be
determined by the Committee and set forth in the applicable Restricted Stock Agreement.
6.Restricted Stock Units.
(a)General. Restricted Stock Units may be granted to Eligible Persons in such form and having such terms and conditions
as the Committee shall deem appropriate. The provisions of separate Restricted Stock Units shall be set forth in separate
RSU Agreements, which agreements need not be identical.
(b)Vesting. Subject to Section 4(e), Restricted Stock Units shall vest in such manner, on such date or dates, or upon the
achievement of performance or other conditions, in each case as may be determined by the Committee and set forth in an
RSU Agreement; provided, however, that notwithstanding any such vesting dates, the Committee may in its sole discretion
accelerate the vesting of any Restricted Stock Unit at any time and for any reason. Unless otherwise set forth in an RSU
Agreement or specifically determined by the Committee, the vesting of a Restricted Stock Unit shall occur only while the
Participant is employed by or rendering services to the Service Recipient, and all vesting shall cease upon a Participant’s
Termination for any reason. To the extent permitted by applicable law and unless otherwise determined by the
Committee, vesting shall be suspended during the period of any approved unpaid leave of absence by a Participant
following which the Participant has a right to reinstatement and shall resume upon such Participant’s return to active
employment.
(c)Settlement. Restricted Stock Units shall be settled in Stock, cash, or property, as determined by the Committee and set
forth in the RSU Agreement, on the date or dates determined by the Committee and set forth in an RSU Agreement.

| RenaissanceRe 2026 Proxy Statement | B-9

Unless otherwise set forth in a Participant’s RSU Agreement, a Participant shall not be entitled to dividends, if any, or
dividend equivalents with respect to Restricted Stock Units prior to settlement; provided, however, that, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in an RSU Agreement, any dividend or other distribution paid with respect to shares subject to a
Restricted Stock Unit Award that are subject to performance-based vesting conditions shall be deposited with the
Company and shall be subject to the same performance-based vesting conditions as the Restricted Stock Units to which
relate.
(d)Termination of Employment or Service. All of the terms relating to the satisfaction of the vesting terms relating to a
Restricted Stock Unit Award, or any forfeiture and cancellation of such Award, (i) upon such Participant’s Termination,
whether by reason of Disability, retirement, death or any other reason, or (ii) during a paid or unpaid leave of absence,
shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the applicable RSU Agreement.
7.Performance Awards.
(a)General. Performance Awards may be granted to Eligible Persons in such form and having such terms and conditions as
the Committee shall deem appropriate. The provisions of separate Performance Awards, including the determination of
the Committee with respect to the form of payout of Performance Awards, shall be set forth in separate Performance
Award Agreements, which agreements need not be identical. Unless otherwise set forth in an Award Agreement
evidencing a Participant’s Performance Award, (i) cash dividends, bonus issue and stock dividends, if any, with respect to
the Performance Shares shall be withheld by the Company for the Participant’s account, and shall be subject to forfeiture
to the same degree as the Performance Shares to which such dividends relate; provided, however, that, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in a Performance Award Agreement, any dividend or other distribution paid with respect to shares
subject to a Performance Award that are subject to performance-based vesting conditions shall be deposited with the
Company and shall be subject to the same performance-based vesting conditions as the shares of Stock with respect to
which such dividend or distribution was made and (ii) a Participant shall not be entitled to dividends, if any, or dividend
equivalents with respect to Performance Units that are not earned and vested. Except as otherwise determined by the
Committee, no interest will accrue or be paid on the amount of any cash dividends withheld.
(b)Value of Performance Awards. Each Performance Unit shall have an initial value that is established by the Committee at
the time of grant. Each Performance Share shall have an initial value equal to the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the
date of grant. Each Performance Award Agreement in respect of any Performance Cash Award shall specify the dollar
amount payable under the Performance Cash Award. In addition to any other non-performance terms included in the
Performance Award Agreement, the Committee shall set the applicable Performance Objectives in its discretion, which
objectives, depending on the extent to which they are met, will determine the value and number of Performance Units or
Performance Shares, or the value of a Performance Cash Award, as the case may be, that will be paid out to the
Participant.
(c)Earning of Performance Awards. Upon the expiration of the applicable Performance Period or other non-performance-
based vesting period, if longer, the holder of a Performance Award shall be entitled to receive the following payouts: (1) if
the holder holds Performance Units or Performance Shares, payout on the value and number of the applicable
Performance Units or Performance Shares earned by the Participant over the Performance Period, or (2) if the holder
holds a Performance Cash Award, payout on the value of the Performance Cash Award earned by the Participant over the
Performance Period, in any case, to be determined as a function of the extent to which the corresponding Performance
Objectives have been achieved and any other non-performance-based terms met. The Committee may specify a target,
threshold or maximum amount payable and may set a formula for determining the amount of Performance Awards earned
if performance is at or above the threshold level but falls short of the maximum achievement of the specified Performance
Objectives.
(d)Form and Timing of Payment of Performance Awards. Payment of earned Performance Awards shall be as determined by
the Committee and as evidenced in the Performance Award Agreement. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee,
in its sole discretion, may pay earned Performance Units and Performance Shares in the form of cash, Stock, or other
Awards (or in any combination thereof) equal to the value of the earned Performance Units or Performance Shares, as the
case may be, at the close of the applicable Performance Period, or as soon as practicable after the end of the
Performance Period. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, earned Performance Cash Awards shall be paid in
cash. Any cash, Stock, or other Awards issued in connection with a Performance Award may be issued subject to any
restrictions deemed appropriate by the Committee.

(e)Termination of Employment or Service. All of the terms relating to the satisfaction of the vesting terms relating to a
Performance Award, or any forfeiture and cancellation of such Award, (i) upon such Participant’s Termination, whether by
reason of Disability, retirement, death or any other reason, or (ii) during a paid or unpaid leave of absence, shall be
determined by the Committee and set forth in the applicable Performance Award Agreement.
(f)Performance Objectives.
i.Each Performance Award shall specify the Performance Objectives that must be achieved before such
Performance Award shall become earned. The Company may also specify a minimum acceptable level of
achievement below which no payment will be made and may set forth a formula for determining the amount of
any payment to be made if performance is at or above such minimum acceptable level but falls short of the
maximum achievement of the specified Performance Objectives.
ii.With respect to Performance Awards, Performance Objectives may be based on specified levels of or increases
in one or more of the following business criteria (alone or in combination with any other criterion, whether gross

Committee may specify. Unless specified otherwise by the Committee (i) in the Performance Award Agreement
at the time the Performance Award is granted or (ii) in such other document setting forth the Performance
Objectives at the time the Performance Objectives are established, the Committee, in its sole discretion, will
appropriately make adjustments in the method of calculating the attainment of Performance Objectives for a
Performance Period to provide for adjustments, modifications or amendments, as determined in accordance with

8.Options and Stock Appreciation Rights.
(a)General. Certain Options granted under the Plan may be intended to be Incentive Stock Options; however, no Incentive
Stock Options may be granted hereunder following the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date on which the Board approved
the Plan. Options and Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted to Eligible Persons in such form and having such terms
and conditions as the Committee shall deem appropriate. The provisions of separate Options and Stock Appreciation
Rights shall be set forth in separate Option Agreements and SAR Agreements, as applicable, which agreements need not
be identical. No dividends or dividend equivalents shall be paid on Options or Stock Appreciation Rights.
(b)Term. The term of each Option and Stock Appreciation Right shall be set by the Committee at the time of grant; provided,
however, that no Option or Stock Appreciation Right granted hereunder shall be exercisable after, and each Option and
Stock Appreciation Right shall expire, ten (10) years from the date it was granted, subject to Section 8(h) hereof in the
case of certain Incentive Stock Option grants.
(c)Exercise Price and Base Price. The exercise price per share of Stock for each Option and the base price per share of
Stock for each Stock Appreciation Right, shall be set by the Committee at the time of grant and shall not be less than the
Fair Market Value on the date of grant, subject to Section 8(h) hereof in the case of certain Incentive Stock Option grants.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Option or Stock Appreciation Award that is a Substitute Award, the
exercise price per share of Stock for such Option or the base price per share of Stock for such Stock Appreciation Right,
may be less than the Fair Market Value on the date of grant; provided, that such exercise price or base price is
determined in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code and, if applicable, Section 424(a) of the
Code.
(d)Payment for Stock. Payment for shares of Stock acquired pursuant to an Option granted hereunder shall be made in full
upon exercise of the Option in a manner approved by the Committee, which may include any of the following payment
methods: (1) by electronic funds transfer in immediately available funds in U.S. dollars, or by certified or bank cashier’s
check; (2) by delivery of shares of Stock having a value equal to the exercise price; (3) by a broker-assisted cashless
exercise in accordance with procedures approved by the Committee, whereby payment of the Option exercise price or tax
withholding obligations may be satisfied, in whole or in part, with shares of Stock subject to the Option by delivery of an
irrevocable direction to a securities broker (on a form prescribed by the Committee) to sell shares of Stock and to deliver
all or part of the sale proceeds to the Company in payment of the aggregate exercise price and, if applicable, the amount
necessary to satisfy the Company’s tax withholding obligations; or (4) by any other means approved by the Committee
(including, by delivery of a notice of “net exercise” to the Company, pursuant to which the Participant shall receive the
number of shares of Stock underlying the Option so exercised reduced by the number of shares of Stock equal to the
aggregate exercise price of the Option and the related tax withholding obligations). Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, if the Committee determines that any form of payment available hereunder would be in violation of Section 402 of
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, such form of payment shall not be available.
(e)Payment upon Exercise. Payment upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right may be made in cash, Stock, or property
as determined by the Committee and specified in the SAR Agreement, in each case, having a value in respect of each
share of Stock underlying the portion of the Stock Appreciation Right so exercised, equal to the difference between the
base price of such Stock Appreciation Right and the Fair Market Value of one (1) share of Stock on the exercise date. For
purposes of clarity, each share of Stock to be issued in settlement of a Stock Appreciation Right is deemed to have a
value equal to the Fair Market Value of one (1) share of Stock on the exercise date.
(f)Vesting. Subject to Section 4(e), Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall vest and become exercisable in such
manner, on such date or dates, or upon the achievement of performance or other conditions, in each case as may be
determined by the Committee and set forth in an Option Agreement or SAR Agreement, as applicable. Unless otherwise
set forth in an Option Agreement or SAR Agreement, as applicable, or as specifically determined by the Committee, the
vesting of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall occur only while the Participant is employed by or rendering
services to the Service Recipient, and all vesting shall cease upon a Participant’s Termination for any reason. To the
extent permitted by applicable law and unless otherwise determined by the Committee, vesting shall be suspended during

B-12 | RenaissanceRe 2026 Proxy Statement |

the period of any approved unpaid leave of absence by a Participant following which the Participant has a right to
reinstatement and shall resume upon such Participant’s return to active employment. If an Option or Stock Appreciation
Right is exercisable in installments, such installments or portions thereof that become exercisable shall remain exercisable
until the Option or Stock Appreciation Right expires, is canceled or otherwise terminates.
(g)Termination of Employment or Service. All of the terms relating to the exercise, cancellation or other disposition of a
Participant’s Option or Stock Appreciation Right (i) upon such Participant’s Termination prior to the applicable Expiration
Date, whether by reason of Disability, retirement, death or any other reason, or (ii) during a paid or unpaid leave of
absence, shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the applicable Option Agreement or SAR Agreement.
(h)Special Provisions Applicable to Incentive Stock Options.
i.No Incentive Stock Option may be granted to any Eligible Person who, at the time the Option is granted, owns
directly, or indirectly within the meaning of Section 424(d) of the Code, stock possessing more than ten percent
(10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or of any parent or subsidiary
thereof, unless such Incentive Stock Option (i) has an exercise price of at least one hundred ten percent (110%)
of the Fair Market Value (or such higher limit established by the Code) on the date of the grant of such Option
and (ii) cannot be exercised more than five (5) years after the date it is granted.
ii.To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the date of grant) of Stock for which
Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any Participant during any calendar year (under all
plans of the Company and its Affiliates) exceeds US$100,000 (or such higher limit established by the Code),
such excess Incentive Stock Options shall be treated as Nonqualified Stock Options.
9.Other Stock-Based Awards.
The Committee is authorized, subject to limitations under applicable law, to grant to Participants such other Awards that may
be denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based upon or related to Stock, as
deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan. Subject to Section 4(e), the Committee may also
grant Stock as a bonus (whether or not subject to any vesting requirements or other restrictions on transfer), and may grant
other Awards in lieu of obligations of the Company or an Affiliate to pay cash or deliver other property under the Plan or under
other plans or compensatory arrangements, subject to such terms as shall be determined by the Committee. The terms and
conditions applicable to such Awards shall be determined by the Committee and evidenced by Award Agreements, which
agreements need not be identical.
10.Adjustment for Recapitalization, Merger, etc.
(a)Capitalization Adjustments. In the event of any equity restructuring (within the meaning of Financial Accounting Standards
Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, or any successor or
replacement accounting standard) that causes the per share value of shares of Stock to change, such as a share
dividend, share split, spinoff, rights offering or recapitalization through an extraordinary cash dividend, the number and
class of securities available under this Plan, the terms of each outstanding Option and Stock Appreciation Right (including
the number and class of securities subject to each outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right and the exercise price
or base price per share), the terms of each outstanding Restricted Stock Award and Restricted Stock Unit Award
(including the number and class of securities subject thereto), and the terms of each outstanding Performance Award
(including the number and class of securities subject thereto) shall be appropriately adjusted by the Committee, such
adjustments to be made in the case of outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights without an increase in the
aggregate exercise price or base price and in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. In the event of any other change
in corporate capitalization, including a merger, consolidation, reorganization, or partial or complete liquidation of the
Company, such equitable adjustments described in the foregoing sentence may be made as determined to be appropriate
and equitable by the Committee to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights of Participants. In either case, the decision of
the Committee regarding any such adjustment shall be final, binding and conclusive.
(b)Corporate Events. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as provided by the Committee in an Award Agreement,
Participant Agreement or otherwise, in connection with (i) a merger, amalgamation, or consolidation involving the
Company in which the Company is not the surviving corporation, (ii) a merger, amalgamation, or consolidation involving
the Company in which the Company is the surviving corporation but the holders of shares of Stock receive securities of
another corporation or other property or cash, (iii) a Change in Control, or (iv) the reorganization, dissolution or liquidation
of the Company (each, a “Corporate Event”), the Committee may provide for any one or more of the following:

| RenaissanceRe 2026 Proxy Statement | B-13

i.The assumption or substitution of any or all Awards in connection with such Corporate Event, in which case the
Awards shall be subject to the adjustment set forth in subsection (a) above, and to the extent that such Awards
are Performance Awards or other Awards that vest subject to the achievement of Performance Objectives or
similar performance criteria, such Performance Objectives or similar performance criteria shall be adjusted
appropriately to reflect the Corporate Event or, if determined by the Committee, deemed to be satisfied at the
target or any other level, including any level as specified in the Award Agreement;
ii.The acceleration of vesting of any or all Awards not assumed or substituted in connection with such Corporate
Event, subject to the consummation of such Corporate Event; provided that any Performance Awards or other
Awards that vest subject to the achievement of Performance Objectives or similar performance criteria will be
deemed earned at target or any other level determined by the Committee, including any level as specified in the
Award Agreement;
iii.The cancellation of any or all Awards not assumed or substituted in connection with such Corporate Event
(whether vested or unvested) as of the consummation of such Corporate Event, together with the payment to the
Participants holding vested Awards (including any Awards that would vest upon the Corporate Event but for such
cancellation) so canceled of an amount in respect of cancellation equal to the amount payable pursuant to any
Performance Cash Award or, with respect to other Awards, an amount based upon the per-share consideration
being paid for the Stock in connection with such Corporate Event, less, in the case of Options, Stock
Appreciation Rights, and other Awards subject to exercise, the applicable exercise or base price; provided,
however, that holders of Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, and other Awards subject to exercise shall be
entitled to consideration in respect of cancellation of such Awards only if the per-share consideration less the
applicable exercise or base price is greater than zero dollars (US$0), and to the extent that the per-share
consideration is less than or equal to the applicable exercise or base price, such Awards shall be canceled for no
consideration;
iv.The cancellation of any or all Options, Stock Appreciation Rights and other Awards subject to exercise not
assumed or substituted in connection with such Corporate Event (whether vested or unvested) as of the
consummation of such Corporate Event; provided that all Options, Stock Appreciation Rights and other Awards to
be so canceled pursuant to this paragraph (4) shall first become exercisable for a period of at least ten (10) days
prior to such Corporate Event, with any exercise during such period of any unvested Options, Stock Appreciation
Rights or other Awards to be (A) contingent upon and subject to the occurrence of the Corporate Event, and
(B) effectuated by such means as are approved by the Committee; and
v.The replacement of any or all Awards (other than Awards that are intended to qualify as “stock rights” that do not
provide for a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) with a cash incentive
program that preserves the value of the Awards so replaced (determined as of the consummation of the
Corporate Event), with subsequent payment of cash incentives subject to the same vesting conditions as
applicable to the Awards so replaced and payment to be made within thirty (30) days of the applicable vesting
date.
Payments to holders pursuant to paragraph (3) above shall be made in cash or, in the sole discretion of the Committee, and to
the extent applicable, in the form of such other consideration necessary for a Participant to receive property, cash, or securities
(or a combination thereof) as such Participant would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of the transaction if the
Participant had been, immediately prior to such transaction, the holder of the number of shares of Stock covered by the Award
at such time (less any applicable exercise or base price). In addition, in connection with any Corporate Event, prior to any
payment or adjustment contemplated under this subsection (b), the Committee may require a Participant to (A) represent and
warrant as to the unencumbered title to his or her Awards, (B) bear such Participant’s pro-rata share of any post-closing
indemnity obligations, and be subject to the same post-closing purchase price adjustments, escrow terms, offset rights,
holdback terms, and similar conditions as the other holders of Stock, and (C) deliver customary transfer documentation as
reasonably determined by the Committee. The Committee need not take the same action or actions with respect to all Awards
or portions thereof or with respect to all Participants. The Committee may take different actions with respect to the vested and
unvested portions of an Award.
(c)Fractional Shares. Any adjustment provided under this Section 10 may, in the Committee’s discretion, provide for the
elimination of any fractional share that might otherwise become subject to an Award. No cash settlements shall be made
with respect to fractional shares so eliminated.

B-14 | RenaissanceRe 2026 Proxy Statement |

(d)Double-Trigger Vesting. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan and except as expressly provided for in an
Award Agreement or Participant Agreement to the contrary, with respect to any Award that is assumed or substituted in
connection with a Change in Control, the vesting, payment, purchase or distribution of such Award shall accelerate in the
event the Participant experiences an involuntary Termination as a result of the Change in Control. For purposes of this
Section 10(d), a Participant will be deemed to experience an involuntary Termination as a result of a Change in Control if
the Participant experiences a Termination by the Service Recipient other than for Cause or by the Participant for Good
Reason, or otherwise experiences a Termination under circumstances which entitle the Participant to mandatory
severance payment(s) pursuant to applicable law or, in the case of a non-employee director of the Company, if the non-
employee director’s service on the Board terminates in connection with or as a result of a Change in Control, in each
case, at any time beginning on the date of the Change in Control up to and including the second (2nd) anniversary of the
Change in Control.
11.Use of Proceeds.
The proceeds received from the sale of Stock pursuant to the Plan shall be used for general corporate purposes.
12.Rights and Privileges as a Shareholder.
Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan, no Person shall be entitled to the rights and privileges of Stock
ownership in respect of shares of Stock that are subject to Awards hereunder until such shares have been issued to that
Person.
13.Transferability of Awards and Beneficiary Designations
(a)Non-Transferability. No Award shall be transferable other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to
beneficiary designation procedures approved by the Company or, to the extent expressly permitted in the Award
Agreement relating to such Award, to the holder’s family members, a trust or entity established by the holder for estate
planning purposes or a charitable organization designated by the holder, in each case, without consideration. Except to
the extent permitted by the foregoing sentence or the Award Agreement relating to an Award, each Award may be
exercised or settled during the holder’s lifetime only by the holder or the holder’s legal representative or similar person.
Except as permitted by the second preceding sentence, no Award may be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged,
hypothecated, encumbered or otherwise disposed of (whether by operation of law or otherwise) or be subject to
execution, attachment or similar process. Upon any attempt to so sell, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate, encumber or
otherwise dispose of any Award, such Award and all rights thereunder shall immediately become null and void.
(b)Designation of Beneficiary. To the extent permitted by the Company, a Participant may file with the Company a written
designation of one or more persons as such Participant’s beneficiary or beneficiaries (both primary and contingent) in the
event of the Participant’s death or incapacity. To the extent an outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right granted
hereunder is exercisable, such beneficiary or beneficiaries shall be entitled to exercise such Option or Stock Appreciation
Right pursuant to procedures prescribed by the Company. Each beneficiary designation shall become effective only when
filed in writing with the Company during the Participant’s lifetime on a form prescribed by the Company. The spouse of a
married Participant domiciled in a community property jurisdiction shall join in any designation of a beneficiary other than
such spouse. The filing with the Company of a new beneficiary designation shall cancel all previously filed beneficiary
designations. If a Participant fails to designate a beneficiary, or if all designated beneficiaries of a Participant predecease
the Participant, then each outstanding award held by such Participant, to the extent vested or exercisable, shall be
payable to or may be exercised by such Participant’s executor, administrator, legal representative or similar person.
14.Employment or Service Rights.
No individual shall have any claim or right to be granted an Award under the Plan or, having been selected for the grant of an
Award, to be selected for the grant of any other Award. Neither the Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed as
giving any individual any right to be retained in the employ or service of the Company or an Affiliate of the Company.
15.Compliance with Laws.
The obligation of the Company to deliver Stock upon issuance, vesting, exercise, or settlement of any Award shall be subject
to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by governmental agencies as may be required.
Notwithstanding any terms or conditions of any Award to the contrary, the Company shall be under no obligation to offer to sell
or to sell, and shall be prohibited from offering to sell or selling, any shares of Stock pursuant to an Award unless such shares
have been properly registered for sale with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act (or

| RenaissanceRe 2026 Proxy Statement | B-15

with a similar non U.S. regulatory agency pursuant to a similar law or regulation) or unless the Company has received an
opinion of counsel, satisfactory to the Company, that such shares may be offered or sold without such registration pursuant to
an available exemption therefrom and the terms and conditions of such exemption have been fully complied with. The
Company shall be under no obligation to register for sale or resale under the Securities Act any of the shares of Stock to be
offered or sold under the Plan or any shares of Stock to be issued upon exercise or settlement of Awards. If the shares of
Stock offered for sale or sold under the Plan are offered or sold pursuant to an exemption from registration under the
Securities Act, the Company may restrict the transfer of such shares and may legend the Stock certificates representing such
shares in such manner as it deems advisable to ensure the availability of any such exemption.
16.Withholding Obligations.
As a condition to the issuance, vesting, exercise, or settlement of any Award (or upon the making of an election under
Section 83(b) of the Code), subject to applicable laws, the Committee may require that a Participant satisfy, through deduction
or withholding from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Participant, or through such other arrangements as are
satisfactory to the Committee, an amount up to the minimum amount (or, if permitted by the Company, such other rate as will
not cause adverse accounting consequences under the accounting rules then in effect) of all federal, state, and local income
and other taxes of any kind required or permitted to be withheld in connection with such issuance, vesting, exercise, or
settlement (or election). The Committee, in its discretion, may permit shares of Stock to be used to satisfy tax withholding
requirements, and such shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value as of the issuance, vesting, exercise, or settlement
date of the Award, as applicable; provided, however, that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the number of shares of Stock
that may be used to satisfy tax withholding requirements may not exceed the minimum statutorily required withholding amount
or other applicable withholding rates in the applicable Participant’s jurisdiction with respect to such Award (unless the
Committee determines, in its discretion, that a greater number of shares of Stock may be used to satisfy tax withholding
requirements without resulting in adverse accounting treatment under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting
Standards Codification Topic 718 (or any successor pronouncement thereto)).
17.Amendment of the Plan or Awards.
(a)Amendment of Plan. The Board or the Committee may amend the Plan at any time and from time to time.
(b)Amendment of Awards. The Board or the Committee may amend the terms of any one or more Awards or any Award
Agreement at any time and from time to time.
(c)Shareholder Approval; No Material Impairment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no amendment to the
Plan or any Award or Award Agreement shall be effective without shareholder approval to the extent that such approval is
required pursuant to applicable law or the applicable rules of each national securities exchange on which the Stock is
listed. Additionally, no amendment to the Plan or any Award or Award Agreement shall materially impair a Participant’s
rights under any Award unless the Participant consents in writing (it being understood that no action taken by the Board or
the Committee that is expressly permitted under the Plan, including, without limitation, any actions described in Section 10
hereof, shall constitute an amendment to the Plan or an Award for such purpose). Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject
to the limitations of applicable law, if any, and without an affected Participant’s consent, the Board or the Committee may
amend the terms of the Plan or any one or more Awards or Award Agreements from time to time as necessary to bring
such Awards into compliance with applicable law, including, without limitation, Section 409A of the Code.
(d)No Repricing of Options or Stock Appreciation Rights Without Shareholder Approval. Notwithstanding subsection (a)
or (b) above, or any other provision of the Plan, the repricing of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall not be
permitted without shareholder approval. For this purpose, a “repricing” means any of the following (or any other action
that has the same effect as any of the following): (1) changing the terms of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right to lower
its exercise or base price (other than on account of capital adjustments resulting from share splits, etc., as described in
Section 10(a) hereof), (2) any other action that is treated as a repricing under GAAP, and (3) repurchasing for cash or
canceling an Option or Stock Appreciation Right in exchange for another Award at a time when its exercise or base price
is greater than the Fair Market Value of the underlying Stock, unless the cancellation and exchange occurs in connection
with an event set forth in Section 10(b) hereof.

B-16 | RenaissanceRe 2026 Proxy Statement |

18.Termination or Suspension of the Plan.
The Board or the Committee may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. Unless sooner terminated, the Plan shall
terminate on the day before the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date the shareholders of the Company approve this Plan. No
Awards may be granted under the Plan while the Plan is suspended or after it is terminated; provided, however, that following
any suspension or termination of the Plan, the Plan shall remain in effect for the purpose of governing all Awards then
outstanding hereunder until such time as all Awards under the Plan have been terminated, forfeited, reacquired, or otherwise
canceled, or earned, exercised, settled, or otherwise paid out, in accordance with their terms.
19.Effective Date of the Plan.
The Plan is effective as of the Effective Date.
20.Miscellaneous.
(a)Certificates. Stock acquired pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan may be evidenced in such a manner as the
Company shall determine. If certificates representing Stock are issued in the name of the Participant, the Company may
require that (1) such certificates bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to
such Stock, (2) the Company retain physical possession of the certificates, and (3) the Participant deliver a duly executed
but undated share transfer form to the Company relating to the Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may
determine, in its sole discretion, that the Stock shall be held in book-entry form rather than delivered to the Participant
pending the release of any applicable restrictions.
(b)Other Benefits. No Award granted or paid out under the Plan shall be deemed compensation for purposes of computing
benefits under any retirement plan of the Company or its Affiliates nor affect any benefits under any other benefit plan now
or subsequently in effect under which the availability or amount of benefits is related to the level of compensation.
(c)Corporate Action Constituting Grant of Awards. Corporate action constituting a grant by the Company of an Award to any
Participant will be deemed completed as of the date of such corporate action, unless otherwise determined by the
Committee, regardless of when the instrument, certificate, or letter evidencing the Award is communicated to, or actually
received or accepted by, the Participant.
(d)Clawback/Recoupment Policy. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, all Awards granted under the
Plan shall be and remain subject to any incentive compensation clawback or recoupment policy currently in effect or as
may be adopted by the Board (or a committee or subcommittee of the Board) and, in each case, as may be amended
from time to time. No such policy adoption or amendment shall in any event require the prior consent of any Participant.
No recovery of compensation under such a clawback policy will be an event giving rise to a right to resign for “good
reason” or “constructive termination” (or similar term) under any agreement with the Company or any of its Affiliates. In
the event that an Award is subject to more than one such policy, the policy with the most restrictive clawback or
recoupment provisions shall govern such Award, subject to applicable law.
(e)Protected Rights. Nothing contained in this Plan is intended to limit the Participant’s ability to (i) report possible violations
of law or regulation to, or file a charge or complaint with, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration, the Department of Justice, the Congress, any Inspector General, or any other federal, state or local
governmental agency or commission (“Government Agencies”), (ii) communicate with any Government Agencies or
otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any Government Agency, including
providing documents or other information, without notice to the Company or (iii) under applicable United States federal law
to (A) disclose in confidence trade secrets to federal, state, and local government officials, or to an attorney, for the sole
purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law or (B) disclose trade secrets in a document filed in a
lawsuit or other proceeding, but only if the filing is made under seal and protected from public disclosure.
(f)Non-Exempt Employees. If an Option is granted to an employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates in the United
States who is a non-exempt employee for purposes of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, the Option will
not be first exercisable for any shares of Stock until at least six (6) months following the date of grant of the Option
(although the Option may vest prior to such date). Consistent with the provisions of the Worker Economic Opportunity
Act, (1) if such employee dies or suffers a Disability, (2) upon a Corporate Event in which such Option is not assumed,
continued, or substituted, (3) upon a Change in Control, or (4) upon the Participant’s retirement (as such term may be
defined in the applicable Award Agreement or a Participant Agreement, or, if no such definition exists, in accordance with

| RenaissanceRe 2026 Proxy Statement | B-17

the Company’s then current employment policies and guidelines), the vested portion of any Options held by such
employee may be exercised earlier than six (6) months following the date of grant. The foregoing provision is intended to
operate so that any income derived by a non-exempt employee in connection with the exercise or vesting of an Option will
be exempt from his or her regular rate of pay. To the extent permitted and/or required for compliance with the Worker
Economic Opportunity Act to ensure that any income derived by a non-exempt employee in connection with the exercise,
vesting or issuance of any shares under any other Award will be exempt from such employee’s regular rate of pay, the
provisions of this Section 20(f) will apply to all Awards.
(g)Data Privacy. The Company will use Participant Personal Information in order to implement, administer and manage the
Plan. This Personal Information may include, but is not limited to, the Participant’s name, home address, telephone
number, date of birth, social security or insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title(s),
information regarding any securities of the Company or any of its Affiliates, and details of all Awards (the “Data”). Personal
Information may be shared by the Company with its Affiliates and third parties assisting the Company in the
implementation, administration, and management of the Plan and Awards and the Participant’s participation in the Plan.
The Company will take reasonable and proportionate steps to comply with applicable data privacy laws and regulations.
Further details on how the Company uses Personal Information are set out in the RenaissanceRe Employee Privacy
Notice held on the RenaissanceRe Core Governance Documents Library.
(h)Participants Outside of the United States or Bermuda. The Committee may modify the terms of any Award under the Plan
made to or held by a Participant who is then a resident, or is primarily employed or providing services, outside of the
United States or Bermuda, or is otherwise subject to applicable securities laws in a jurisdiction outside of the United
States or Bermuda, in any manner deemed by the Committee to be necessary or appropriate in order that such Award
shall conform to laws, regulations, and customs of the country in which the Participant is then a resident or primarily
employed or providing services, or so that the value and other benefits of the Award to the Participant, as affected by non–
U.S. or Bermuda tax laws and other restrictions applicable as a result of the Participant’s residence, employment, or
providing services abroad, shall be comparable to the value of such Award to a Participant who is a resident, or is
primarily employed or providing services, in the United States or Bermuda. An Award may be modified under this
Section 20(h) in a manner that is inconsistent with the express terms of the Plan, so long as such modifications will not
contravene any applicable law or regulation or result in actual liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act for the
Participant whose Award is modified. Additionally, the Committee may adopt such procedures and sub-plans as are
necessary or appropriate to permit participation in the Plan by Eligible Persons who are non–U.S. or Bermuda nationals or
are primarily employed or providing services outside the United States or Bermuda.
(i)Country Appendix. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, any relevant Award shall be subject to the
applicable terms and provisions as set forth in the relevant country appendix appended to this Plan and incorporated
herein, if any, for the country of residence (and country of employment and any other country where the Participant is
otherwise subject to applicable securities laws of that country, if different) of the Participant.
(j)No Liability of Committee Members. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and the Company’s
memorandum of association and bye-laws, neither any member of the Committee nor any of the Committee’s permitted
and duly authorized delegates shall be liable personally by reason of any contract or other instrument executed by such
member or delegate or on his or her behalf in his or her capacity as a member of the Committee or duly authorized
delegate thereof or for any mistake of judgment made in good faith, and the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless
each member of the Committee and each other employee, officer, or director of the Company to whom any duty or power
relating to the administration or interpretation of the Plan may be allocated or delegated, against all costs and expenses
(including counsel fees) and liabilities (including sums paid in settlement of a claim) arising out of any act or omission to
act in connection with the Plan, unless arising out of such Person’s own fraud, dishonesty or willful misconduct; provided,
however, that approval of the Board shall be required for the payment of any amount in settlement of a claim against any
such Person. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which
such Persons may be entitled under the Company’s memorandum of association or bye-laws, each as may be amended
from time to time, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold
them harmless.

B-18 | RenaissanceRe 2026 Proxy Statement |

(k)Payments Following Accidents or Illness. If the Committee shall find that any Person to whom any amount is payable
under the Plan is unable to care for his or her affairs because of illness or accident, or is a minor, or has died, then any
payment due to such Person or his or her estate (unless a prior claim therefor has been made by a duly appointed legal
representative) may, if the Committee so directs the Company, be paid to his or her spouse, child, relative, an institution
maintaining or having custody of such Person, or any other Person deemed by the Committee to be a proper recipient on
behalf of such Person otherwise entitled to payment. Any such payment shall be a complete discharge of the liability of
the Committee and the Company therefor.
(l)Governing Law. The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of Bermuda without
reference to the principles of conflicts of laws thereof.
(m)Electronic Delivery. Any reference herein to a “written” agreement or document or “writing” will include any agreement or
document delivered electronically or posted on the Company’s intranet (or other shared electronic medium controlled or
authorized by the Company to which the Participant has access) to the extent permitted by applicable law.
(n)Funding. No provision of the Plan shall require the Company, for the purpose of satisfying any obligations under the Plan,
to purchase assets or place any assets in a trust or other entity to which contributions are made or otherwise to segregate
any assets, nor shall the Company be required to maintain separate bank accounts, books, records, or other evidence of
the existence of a segregated or separately maintained or administered fund for such purposes. Participants shall have
no rights under the Plan other than as unsecured general creditors of the Company, except that insofar as they may have
become entitled to payment of additional compensation by performance of services, they shall have the same rights as
other employees and service providers under general law.
(o)Reliance on Reports. Each member of the Committee and each member of the Board shall be fully justified in relying,
acting, or failing to act, and shall not be liable for having so relied, acted, or failed to act in good faith, upon any report
made by the independent public accountant of the Company and its Affiliates and upon any other information furnished in
connection with the Plan by any Person or Persons other than such member.
(p)Titles and Headings. The titles and headings of the sections in the Plan are for convenience of reference only, and in the
event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control.
