In this role, you shall perform such senior executive duties, services, and responsibilities on behalf of the Company consistent with the CEO of SiriusPoint International position as may be reasonably assigned to you from time to time by the CEO. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, you will be bound by the additional duties and obligations, and give the representations and warranties, set out in Exhibit C.
•Start Date. Subject to the Contingent Offer section below, your start date will be December 12, 2022. The Employment shall continue until terminated by either party as set out in the Termination of Employment – Notice and Termination of Employment – “Cause” sections below.
•Base Salary. You will be paid a base salary at a rate of £375,000 per annum (less appropriate tax and other statutory deductions). Your base salary shall accrue day to day and be payable by equal monthly instalments in arrears into a bank account you nominate for this purpose. Your base salary will be subject to review on an upwards only basis in connection with regular senior management reviews in the first quarter of each calendar year. Your base salary will next be reviewed in 2023. There is no obligation on the Company to increase your base salary pursuant to any such review or otherwise. There will be no review of the base salary after either party has given notice to terminate the Employment.
•Annual Bonus. You will be eligible for an annual bonus equal to, at target levels of performance, 100% of your then-current base salary (the “Target Bonus”), and subject to generally applicable threshold and maximum levels set by the Company as to individual and corporate performance goals. Whether any annual bonus is payable in respect of any year and, if so, how much, will be determined by the Company in its sole discretion, such discretion to be exercised in a bona fide and rational manner. Payment
of your annual bonus (if any) for any year will generally occur in the first quarter of the subsequent year at the same time as annual bonuses are paid to other members of the senior management team in the relevant jurisdiction. You acknowledge that you have no contractual right to receive a bonus (save as set out below) and that receipt of any bonus payment in respect of any financial year or otherwise would not entitle you to any bonus payment in respect of any subsequent periods. In addition, and notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the 2023 performance year, the following special terms shall apply:
o2023 Performance Year: Your annual bonus for 2023 will be guaranteed at 100% of target level of performance.
For the avoidance of doubt, you will receive the guaranteed bonuses for the 2023 performance year in the event that your employment terminates prior to the payment dates in a Qualifying Termination only. For this purpose, a “Qualifying Termination” means the termination of the Employment (x) by reason of your death or permanent disability, (y) by the Company without Cause and (z) by you with Good Reason.
For 2024 onwards and save as provided for below in respect of a Resignation for Good Reason /Termination not for Cause, you will have no entitlement whatsoever to receive a bonus payment, any outstanding bonus payment (or pro rata entitlement, or to accrue any bonus for the year in which your employment terminates pursuant to any such bonus scheme if, on or prior to the date that the bonus for the relevant bonus period is declared or would otherwise have been paid to you or the bonus would otherwise have accrued, you are: (i) no longer employed by the Company or any Group Company; or (ii) under notice of termination of employment (whether such notice is given by you or the Company), including during any period of Garden Leave; or (iii) suspended pursuant to the terms of the Offer Letter and the Employment is subsequently terminated in connection (whether directly or indirectly) with the circumstances which gave rise to such suspension; or (iv) subject to any disciplinary process and the Employment is subsequently terminated in connection (whether directly or indirectly) with the circumstances which gave rise to such process (whereby entitlement to be considered for a bonus shall be reinstated if no disciplinary sanction is imposed); or (v) no longer in satisfaction of any eligibility criteria set out in the relevant plan rules.
•Annual Long-Term Incentive Awards. Starting in 2023, you will be eligible to participate in SiriusPoint Ltd.’s Company’s long-term incentive (“LTI”) program with other members of senior management of SiriusPoint Ltd.. Your annual LTI award will have a target grant date value equal to 175% of your then-current base salary (calculated in the same manner as other LTI award recipients). Your annual LTI award is expected to be provided through a mix of restricted share units (as to 75% of the award) and options to acquire common stock of the Company (as to 25% of the award), or otherwise in the same type of award(s) and ratio as granted to other members of senior management. Your annual LTI award will be granted annually at the same time as awards are granted to other members of senior management (expected to be granted in the second quarter of each calendar year), and will be subject to the terms set forth in the implementing award agreements, of which yours will be no less favourable than the agreements evidenceing the awards granted to other members of senior management.
•Sign-On LTI Awards. You will be issued restricted share units (“RSUs”) of SiriusPoint Ltd. with a value equal to $400,000 within 60 days of the start date.

oTranche 2: 100,000 options granted on the start date with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of a share of SiriusPoint Ltd. stock on the New York Stock Exchange as of close of markets on the date of the grant and exercisable when the closing trading price of SiriusPoint Ltd. on the New York Stock Exchange is $10.00, and subject to your continued employment with SiriusPoint Ltd. through such date
The terms of the New Hire Options are provided more fully in the award agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B-2.
•Remuneration – general.
oThe remuneration and benefits referred to anywhere in the Offer Letter or otherwise provided to you in connection with the Employment shall be subject always to any applicable regulatory requirements and applicable remuneration codes. If any such remuneration or benefits do not comply or cease to comply with any such regulatory requirements or remuneration codes, you acknowledge and agree that such remuneration and benefits may be reduced, amended or withdrawn to the extent necessary to comply with any such requirements or codes.
oParticipation and/or continued participation in any bonus scheme (and the payment of any amounts under the bonus scheme) or any share scheme (and the receipt of benefits under any share scheme) shall be conditional upon you agreeing (including entering into such documentation as the Company reasonably requires) to deferral, malus, claw back and forfeiture terms in relation to any benefits received under such schemes as the Company determines are reasonable and appropriate.
oAny awards or payments made pursuant to the sections entitled Annual Bonus, Annual Long-Term Incentive Awards and Sign-On LTI Awards will not form part of the fixed or pensionable salary under the Offer Letter
(notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the rules of any relevant bonus scheme, share scheme or pension scheme).
oYour rights and obligations in connection with the Employment will not be affected by your participation in the LTI or any other long term incentive arrangements or scheme, or any right you may have to participate in the same. In participating in the LTI or any other such arrangements or schemes, you waive all and any rights to compensation or damages in respect of your participation in the LTI or any other long term incentive arrangements or scheme (but not otherwise) in consequence of: (i) the termination of the Employment or your position as Chief Executive Officer of SiriusPoint International and/or giving notice of termination of employment with any Group Company for any reason whatsoever (whether lawful or unlawful); and/or (ii) the lawful exercise or failure to exercise any discretion conferred by the rules of the LTI or any other such arrangements or schemes, insofar as those rights arise or may arise from you losing, or failing to receive, any rights or benefits under the same or from the loss or diminution in value of such rights or benefits as a result of such termination or such lawful exercise or failure to exercise a discretion.
oPayment of your base salary and bonus (if any) and the provision of benefits (if any) to you will be made either by the Company or by a Group Company and, if by more than one company, in such proportions as the Company may from time to time think fit.
•Benefits. You will be eligible to participate in all of the Company’s retirement, health and other benefit plans which are provided to similarly situated senior executives of the Company. The Company will provide you with additional information regarding these plans and additional provisions relating to the same are set out below:
oEligibility to join, continued coverage under and benefits under, any insurance scheme are subject to the rules of the scheme and the terms of any applicable insurance policy from time to time in force and are conditional on you (and where relevant your spouse, civil partner or dependent children) complying with and continuing to comply with and satisfying and continuing to satisfy any applicable requirements of the insurer and the Company being able to obtain and maintain cover in respect of you (and where relevant your spouse, civil partner or dependent children) on commercial terms reasonably acceptable to the Company. Copies of these rules and policies and particulars of the requirements (when notified to the Company) will be provided to you on request.
oThe Company reserves the right to amend, alter or replace any such insurance schemes, in which event you will be eligible to participate in the other or additional schemes put in place for you and your family, which
will be no less favorable than are put in place for other members of senior management.
oThe Company will not have any liability to provide or pay any benefit or compensation to you or your spouse, civil partner or dependent children under any insurance scheme unless it receives payment of the benefit from the insurer or to take any legal action to enforce the provision of such benefits in circumstances where the scheme provider refuses for any reason whatsoever to provide any benefits to you (or where applicable your spouse, civil partner or dependent children). The Company will however provide all reasonable assistance in seeking payment of such benefits and compensation short of legal action. In addition, in the event that you (or your family) request that the Company takes any legal action against any scheme provider in relation to the provision of such benefits which it is not otherwise required by law to take and the Company agrees to do so you agree to reimburse the Company for the reasonable costs incurred by it in taking any such action including any legal fees, all such costs to be agreed in advance with you or your family.
oNotwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, the Company may withdraw the benefits of and/or terminate your membership of the insurance schemes once you have reached the age of 65 or the State Pensionable Age (as determined in accordance with the rules in paragraph 1 of Schedule 4 of the Pensions Act 1995), if higher. Any entitlement to benefits which have already accrued will be dealt with in accordance with the rules of the scheme for the time being in force.

You may carry forward up to five days holiday to the next holiday year, in all other circumstances failure to take holiday entitlement in the year in which it accrued will, save as required by law and on termination (in respect of which see Exhibit D), shall lead to the forfeiture of such accrued but untaken holiday without any right to payment in lieu thereof. Exhibit D contains further provisions relating to holiday and other leave in connection with the Employment.

•Hours of Work. Your normal working hours shall be from 9.00 a.m. to 6.00 p.m. Monday to Friday, and such additional hours (without further remuneration) as are necessary for the proper performance of the duties hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you acknowledge that because of the autonomous nature of your role the duration of your working time is not measured or monitored or determined by the Company so that the limit on weekly working time set out in Regulation 4 of the Working Time Regulations 1998 (or such other regulations as may from time to time come into force) does not apply to the Employment.
•Work Location; Travel. Unless otherwise mutually agreed with the Company, the principal place of work shall be London.

In the performance of your duties hereunder, you will be required to travel and undertake your duties both throughout and outside the United Kingdom.

•Termination of Employment – on Notice.

statutory settlement agreement in terms which are satisfactory to the Company.

Executive Restrictive Covenant Agreement
This Executive Restrictive Covenant Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into by and between SiriusPoint International Insurance Corporation whose registered office is 4th floor, 20 Fenchurch Street, London, EC3M 3BY (the “Company”), and the undersigned (the “Executive”).
In consideration of the Executive’s employment by the Company and compensation and benefits to be provided pursuant to such employment, which the Executive acknowledges to be good and valuable consideration for the Executive’s obligations hereunder, the Company and the Executive hereby agree as follows:
1.Confidentiality. The Executive agrees and understands that in the Executive’s position with the Company, the Executive will be exposed to and will receive information relating to the confidential affairs of the Company Group, including but not limited to, technical information, intellectual property, business and marketing plans, strategies, customer information, other information concerning the products, promotions, development, financing, expansion plans, business policies and practices of the Company Group, and other forms of information considered by the Company Group reasonably and in good faith to be confidential and in the nature of trade secrets (“Confidential Information”). Confidential Information does not include information that is or becomes publicly available provided such information did not become publicly available because of or as a result of Executive’s breach of either this Agreement or any other obligations Executive may be subject to relating to the use and/or disclosure of Confidential Information. The Executive agrees that during the term of the Executive’s employment and thereafter, the Executive will not, other than on behalf of the Company Group, disclose such Confidential Information, either directly or indirectly, to any third person or entity without the prior written consent of the Company; provided, that disclosure may be made to the extent required by law, regulation, or order of a regulatory body, in each case so long as the Executive gives the Company as much advance notice of the disclosure as possible to enable the Company to seek a protective order, confidential treatment, or other appropriate relief. This confidentiality covenant has no temporal, geographical, or territorial restriction. Upon termination of the Executive’s employment, the Executive will promptly supply to the Company (i) all property of the Company Group and (ii) all notes, memoranda, writings, lists, files, reports, customer lists, correspondence, tapes, disks, cards, surveys, maps, logs, machines, technical data, or any other tangible product or document containing Confidential Information produced by, received by, or otherwise submitted to the Executive during or prior to the Executive’s employment. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Executive from:
i.making a protected disclosure in accordance with s43A Employment Rights Act 1996 and the Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998; or
ii.making a disclosure to a regulator regarding any misconduct, wrongdoing or serious breach of regulatory requirements, or reporting a criminal offence to any law enforcement agency; or
iii.co-operating with any law enforcement agency regarding a criminal investigation or prosecution; or
iv.co-operating with any legal or regulatory process to which the Executive is obliged to provide information or assistance; or
v.disclosing information to HMRC for the purposes of establishing and paying (or recouping) tax and national insurance liabilities arising from your employment or its termination; or
vi.making any other disclosure as required by law.
2.Noncompetition. By and in consideration of the Executive’s employment by the Company and the payments to be made and benefits to be provided by the Company in connection with the Executive’s employment, and further in consideration of the Executive’s exposure to the proprietary information of the Company Group and knowledge of and influence over the Company Group’s customers and workforce, the Executive agrees that the Executive will not, during the Noncompetition Term (as defined below), directly or indirectly, invest in, lend to, own, manage, operate, join, control, be employed by or otherwise provide services to, or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, including but not limited to holding any position as a shareholder, director, officer, consultant, independent contractor, employee, partner, or investor in, any Restricted Enterprise (as defined below); provided, that in no event shall ownership of less than 5% of the outstanding equity securities of any unlisted company or any issuer whose securities are listed or traded on any Recognised Investment Exchange, be prohibited by this Section 2. Following termination of the Executive’s employment, upon request of the Company during the Noncompetition Term, the Executive shall notify the Company of the Executive’s then-current employment status.
3.Nonsolicitation of staff. During the Nonsolicitation Term, the Executive shall not, and shall not cause any other person to, (i) interfere with or harm, or attempt to interfere with or harm, the relationship of any member of the Company Group with any Restricted Employee (as defined below), or (ii) endeavor to entice any Restricted Employee away from the Company Group. For the avoidance of doubt, it shall not be a breach of this clause for any Restricted Employee to respond to a bona fide advertisement or approach from a recruitment consultant on behalf of a third party employer, provided you are not involved in such recruitment.
4.Nonsolicitation/Nondealing with Customers. During the Nonsolicitation Term the Executive shall not, and shall not cause any other person to (i) interfere with or harm, or attempt to interfere with or harm, the relationship of any member of the Company Group with any Restricted Customer; or (ii) endeavor to entice any Restricted Customer away from the Company Group where such enticement relates to Restricted Goods or Services; or (iii) have any dealings with any Restricted Customer relating to Restricted Goods or Services.
5.Non disparagement. While employed by the Company and thereafter the Executive shall not make or publish any disparaging statements (whether written or oral) regarding the Company Group or any of its directors, officers, or employees. While employed by the Company and thereafter, the Company shall not (and shall ensure that those who manage the Executive shall not) make or publish any disparaging statements (whether written or oral) regarding the Executive.
6.Proprietary Rights. If at any time in the course of the employment, the Executive makes or discovers or participates in the making or discovery of any Intellectual Property relating to or capable of being used in the business of the Company or any member of the Company Group the Executive shall immediately disclose full details of such Intellectual Property to the Company and, at the request and expense of the Company, shall do all things which may be necessary or desirable for obtaining appropriate forms of protection for the Intellectual Property and for vesting all rights in the same in the Company or relevant member of the Company Group or their nominees.
The Executive irrevocably appoints any director of the Company to be his attorney in his name and on his behalf to sign, execute or do any instrument or thing and generally to use his name for the purpose of giving to the Company or any member of the Company Group or their nominees the full benefit of the provisions of this section and in favour of any third party a certificate in writing signed by any director or the secretary of the Company that any instrument or act falls within the authority conferred by this section shall be conclusive evidence that such is the case.
The Executive acknowledges and agrees that he will not (whether during or after the employment) apply or join in applying for any patent, registered design, trade mark or other intellectual property protection in respect of any Intellectual Property without the prior written approval of the Company.
The Executive waives all his rights (as defined in the Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988) in respect of any acts of the Company or any acts of third parties done with the Company’s authority in relation to any Intellectual Property which is the property of the Company by virtue of this section.
All rights and obligations under this section in respect of Intellectual Property made or discovered by the Executive during the employment shall continue in full force and effect after the termination of the employment and shall be binding upon your personal representatives.
“Intellectual Property” for the purposes of this section shall mean:
(a)discovery, patents, trademarks, service marks, registered designs, applications for any of those rights, trade and business names (including internet domain names and e-mail address names), unregistered trademarks and service marks, copyrights, improvements in procedure, formulae, design rights, moral rights, rights in performances (as set out in part II Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988), database rights, rights in knowhow and designs and inventions;
(b)rights of the equivalent or similar effect or nature to those in paragraph (a); and
(c)rights under licences, consent orders, statutes or otherwise in relation to a right in paragraphs (a) or (b),
in each case in any jurisdiction where any of the above may exist.
7.Remedies. The Executive agrees that any material breach of the terms of this Agreement might result in irreparable injury and damage to the Company Group for which the Company may have no adequate remedy at law; the Executive therefore also agrees that in the event of such breach or any threat of breach, the Company may be entitled to an immediate
injunction and restraining order to prevent such breach, threatened breach, or continued breach by the Executive and any and all persons or entities acting for or with the Executive, without having to prove damages, in addition to any other remedies to which the Company may be entitled at law or in equity. The terms of this paragraph shall not prevent the Company from pursuing any other available remedies for any breach or threatened breach hereof, including but not limited to, the recovery of damages from the Executive. The Executive and the Company further agree that the provisions of the covenants contained in this Agreement are reasonable and necessary to protect the business of the Company Group because of the Executive’s access to Confidential Information and his material participation in the operation of such business. While the restrictions in this Agreement (on which the Executive has had the opportunity to take independent advice, as the Executive hereby acknowledges) are considered by the parties to be reasonable in all the circumstances, it is agreed that if any such restrictions, by themselves, or taken together, shall be adjudged to go beyond what is reasonable in all the circumstances for the protection of the legitimate interests of the Company or member of the Company Group but would be adjudged reasonable if part or parts of the wording thereof were deleted, the relevant restriction or restrictions shall apply with such deletion(s) as may be necessary to make it or them valid and effective.
8.The benefit of this Agreement shall be held on trust by the Company for each member of the Company Group and the Company reserves the right to assign the benefit of such provisions to any Group Company. Each of the obligations undertaken by the Executive pursuant to this Agreement shall, with respect to each such member of the Company Group, constitute a separate and distinct covenant and the invalidity or unenforceability of any such covenant shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other such covenants in favour of any other member of the Company Group or the Company. The Executive agrees that each of the restrictions set out in this Agreement constitutes entirely separate, severable and independent restrictions on him and the sections and sub-sections of this Agreement shall operate independently of each other and shall not affect the interpretation of any other section or sub-section.
9.Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement:

•The Company takes a zero tolerance approach to tax evasion. You must not engage in any form of facilitating tax evasion, whether under UK law or under the law of any foreign country. You must report any request or demand from a third party to facilitate the evasion of tax or any concerns that such a request or demand may have been made immediately to the CEO.

You represent and warrant to the Company that to the best of your knowledge:
• You are not bound by or subject to any court order, agreement, covenant, arrangement, regulatory code or undertaking or has any other interest or obligation
which in any way restricts or prohibits you from entering into this Offer Letter or from performing the duties hereunder and you undertake to indemnify and hold harmless the Company against all claims, costs, damages and expenses which the Company incurs in connection with any claim in relation to any such court order, covenant, arrangement, regulatory code or undertaking or any other interest or obligation by which you are or were so bound or subject.

•All of the information provided to the Company, and any third party acting on behalf of the Company is complete, true and up to date and you have not deliberately omitted any information relevant to the Employment.
Exhibit D
Further Section 1 particulars
•Continuity of employment. The Employment is not continuous with any previous employment.
•Probationary period. The Employment is not subject to a probationary period.
•Holiday. If the Employment starts or finishes part way through the holiday year, your holiday entitlement during that year shall be calculated on a pro rata basis. You will be deemed to have taken the statutory basic annual leave entitlement first then the statutory additional annual leave entitlement and finally any additional contractual leave entitlement. In the respective holiday years in which the Employment commences or terminates, your holiday entitlement will accrue on a pro rata basis for each complete month of service during the relevant holiday year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on the termination of the Employment, no payment in lieu will be made in respect of any public or bank holidays. During any period of notice or Garden Leave, the Company may require you to take any holiday entitlement accrued but untaken in the holiday year in which the Employment terminates or may make a payment in lieu of the same. If, on the termination of the Employment, you have taken more than your accrued holiday entitlement, you will repay the excess to the Company from any sums due to you and, for the purposes of the Employment Rights Act 1996, you hereby authorise the Company to make such deduction. The calculation of any entitlement to accrued and untaken holiday or deductions where you have, on termination, taken more than your accrued holiday entitlement shall be based on 1/260th of your then base salary for each untaken or excess day of the entitlement for the holiday year in which termination takes place.
•Other leave. You may be eligible to take the following types of paid leave, subject to any statutory eligibility requirements or conditions and the Company's rules applicable to each type of leave in force from time to time: (i) statutory paternity leave; (ii) statutory adoption leave; (iii) shared parental leave; (iv) parental leave; and (v) parental bereavement leave. Further details of such leave and, where applicable, pay during such leave are available from the Employee Handbook. The Company may replace, amend or withdraw the Company's policy on any of the above types of leave at any time.
•Grievance procedures. If you wish to obtain redress of any grievance relating to the Employment or are dissatisfied with any reprimand, suspension or other disciplinary step taken by the Company, you may apply in writing to the CEO, setting out the nature and details of any such grievance or dissatisfaction. If you are not satisfied with the decision of the CEO, you may within seven days of the decision appeal in writing to a non-executive director of SiriusPoint Ltd. nominated by the Company.
•Disciplinary. The disciplinary rules applicable to you are set out in the Employee Handbook. The disciplinary procedure is not contractually binding on the Company and the Company may in its absolute discretion and for any reason decide not to follow the disciplinary procedure.
•Training. You will, as part of your duties, be required to attend such training courses as the Company in its absolute discretion deems necessary. Details of any such training will be made available to you at the appropriate time. The Company may make available to you training your attendance at which is option. The Company will pay for any training you are required by the Company to attend.
•Collective Agreements. There are no collective agreements that affect the terms and conditions of the Employment.
