Exhibit 2 - Total alternative reinsurance

Mid-year renewals pricing softening from 1/1. P-CAT risk-adjusted pricing is down 15%-20%+ capital has grown to ~$135bn and has been

relative to 2025 mid-year renewals (compared to 10-15% down at 1/1), with the expert citing that supported by catastrophe bonds

outcomes are skewing more towards the worst end of the range. Pricing pressure is most intense 140

in U.S. nationwide accounts while the FL market was noted as being the next most competitive. 120100

Competitive pressures in the retro market were highlighted as being relatively lower though pricing $bn 8060

is still down. Incremental demand estimates of $10bn-$15bn of limit seems reasonable, but is 40

not material enough to offset pricing pressures. The expert noted cedants are generally retaining 20

savings rather than purchasing incremental coverage.
