DEREGISTRATION OF UNSOLD SECURITIES

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-196609) filed by Blue Capital Reinsurance Holdings Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company (the “Company”), with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on June 9, 2014 (the “Registration Statement”). As previously announced on July 25, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors decided to cease the Company’s active operations and pursue an orderly run-off of the Company’s liabilities and in-force portfolio and return capital to shareholders as the Company winds up its operations (the “Run-off”). In connection with the Run-off, the offerings pursuant to the Registration Statement have been terminated.

In accordance with the Company’s undertaking in Part II, Item 9 of the Registration Statement, the Registrant hereby amends the Registration Statement to remove from registration all securities registered but remaining unsold, if any, under the Registration Statement and to terminate the effectiveness of the Registration Statement as of the date hereof.
