Agenda WELCOME & INTRO 01 02 FINANCIAL OVERVIEW 03 04 STRATEGIC OVERVIEW INVESTMENTS UPDATE


 
This Investor Presentation (this “Presentation”) is intended solely for the informational purposes of the persons to whom it is presented in connection with the 2024 Investor Day of Greenlight Capital Re, Ltd. (the “Company”) to be held on November 19, 2024. This Presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and we intend these forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements in the U.S. federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements may be identified by a reference to a future period or by the use of forward-looking terminology. Forward looking statements are typically identified by words such as “expect”, “believe”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “goal” and “strategy” or conditional verbs such as “will” and “may” or the negative of these terms, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words, and include statements relating to market opportunity, our strategic priorities, strategic growth and return on equity projections. These statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements made on the Company’s behalf. These risks and uncertainties include a downgrade or withdrawal of our A.M. Best ratings; any suspension or revocation of any of our licenses; losses from catastrophes; the loss of significant brokers; the performance of Solasglas Investments, LP; the carry values of our investments made under our Greenlight Re Innovations pillar may differ significantly from those that would be used if we carried these investments at fair value; and other factors described in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), as those factors may be updated from time to time in our periodic and other filings with the SEC, which are accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, which speak only as to the date of this release, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as provided by law. In presenting the Company’s results, management has included financial measures that are not calculated under standards or rules that comprise generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Such measures are referred to as non-GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures may be defined or calculated differently by other companies. Management believes these measures allow for a more thorough understanding of the underlying business. These non- GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies and should be used to monitor our results and should be considered in addition to, and not viewed as a substitute for those measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of such measures to the most comparable GAAP figures can be found at the back of this Presentation. CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND NON-GAAP MEASURES 3


 
INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO DISCLOSURE All information provided for Solasglas Investments, LP is for informational purposes only and should not be deemed as investment advice or a recommendation to purchase or sell any specific security. Performance returns reflect the total returns, net of fees and expenses. Returns are net of either the modified high water mark performance allocation of 10% or the standard 20% performance allocation. All figures are unaudited. Greenlight Re and DME Advisors, LP (“DME”) do not undertake to update any information contained herein as a result of audit adjustments or other corrections. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Actual returns may differ from the returns presented. Reference to an index does not imply that the fund will achieve returns, volatility or other results similar to the index. The S&P 500 is a long-only index of primarily large-cap stocks used to represent the performance of the U.S. stock market. The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is a broad-based index of intermediate-term, investment-grade bonds traded in the United States. Solasglas takes long and short equity positions but may invest in non-U.S. and non-equity securities, and therefore differs (often materially) from the composition of the indexes. The total returns for the indexes do not reflect the deduction of any fees or expenses which would reduce returns. All exposure information is calculated on a delta-adjusted basis and excludes “macro” positions, which may include, but are not limited to, government debt, currencies, commodities, credit default swaps, interest rate swaps, volatility indexes, credit indexes and derivatives on any of these instruments. However, equity indexes and derivatives on such instruments are included in long/short exposure. The largest disclosed long positions represent individual issuers to which Solasglas has the highest exposure. All weightings, exposure, attribution and performance contribution information are the result of classifications and assumptions made in the sole judgment of DME. The specific investments identified and described are not representative of all the positions held, purchased, or sold, and in the aggregate, the information may represent a small percentage of activity. It should not be assumed that any position identified has been or will be profitable. There can be no guarantee that similar investment opportunities will be available in the future or that DME will be able to exploit similar investment opportunities should they arise. The information presented is intended to provide insight into the noteworthy events, in the sole opinion of the presenter, affecting the portfolio. The opinions expressed represent the current, good faith views of DME at the time of publication and are provided for limited purposes, are not definitive investment advice, and should not be relied on as such. 4

Our primary financial goal is to increase fully diluted book value per share over the long term. We use fully diluted book value as a financial measure in our incentive compensation plan. We believe that long-term growth in fully diluted book value per share is the most relevant measure of our financial performance because it provides management and investors a yardstick to monitor the shareholder value generated. Fully diluted book value per share may also help our investors, shareholders, and other interested parties form a basis of comparison with other companies within the property and casualty reinsurance industry. Fully diluted book value per share should not be viewed as a substitute for the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure, which in our view is the basic book value per share. We calculate basic book value per share as (a) ending shareholders' equity, divided by (b) the total ordinary shares issued and outstanding, as reported in the consolidated financial statements. Fully diluted book value per share represents basic book value per share combined with any dilutive impact of in-the-money stock options (assuming net exercise) and all outstanding restricted stock units “RSUs”. We believe these adjustments better reflect the ultimate dilution to our shareholders. The following tables presents a reconciliation of the fully diluted book value per share to basic book value per share (the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure):
