EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Registration Statement on Form S-8 (this "Registration Statement") is filed by Aspen Insurance Holdings Limited (the "Registrant") to register 263,695 ordinary shares, par value $0.15144558 per share ("Ordinary Shares"), of the Registrant, which may be issued under the Registrant's 2016 Stock Incentive Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the "2016 Plan"), which was adopted
by the Registrant's Board of Directors to be effective April 21, 2016, subject to approval by the Registrant's shareholders.  On April 21, 2016, at the Registrant's 2016 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, the Registrant's shareholders approved the 2016 Plan to succeed the Aspen Insurance Holdings Limited 2006 Stock Incentive Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the "2006 Plan").  Upon shareholder approval of the 2016 Plan, the 2016 Plan replaced the 2006 Plan and no additional awards will be made under the 2006 Plan.
Concurrently with this Registration Statement, the Registrant is filing a post-effective amendment to the Registrant's prior Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-136441), filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on August 9, 2006, to deregister all Ordinary Shares that remain unsold under the 2006 Plan, which remains in effect only with respect to previously granted awards.

Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Bye-Law 145 of the Registrant's bye-laws provides, among other things, that, subject to certain provisos, every director, officer, resident representative, member of a committee duly constituted under its bye-laws and any liquidator, manager or trustee for the time being acting in relation to the affairs of the Registrant, and his heirs, executors and administrators ("Indemnified Person") shall be indemnified and held harmless out of the assets of the Registrant against all actions, costs, charges, liabilities, loss, damage or expense (including but not limited to liabilities under contract, tort and statute or any applicable foreign law or regulation and all reasonable legal and other costs and expenses properly payable) incurred or suffered by him by reason of any act done, conceived in or omitted in the conduct of the Registrant's business or in the discharge of his duties. The indemnity contained in Bye-Law 145 extends to any Indemnified Person of the Registrant acting in any office or trust in the reasonable belief that he has been appointed or elected to such office or trust notwithstanding any defect in such appointment or election provided that the indemnity contained in Bye-Law 145 shall not extend to any matter which would render it void under the Bermuda Companies Act 1981, as amended (the "Companies Act").
Bye-Law 149 of the Registrant's bye-laws provides that each shareholder and the Registrant agree to waive any claim or right of action he or it may at any time have, whether individually or by or in the right of the Registrant, against any Indemnified Person on account of any action taken by such Indemnified Person or the failure of such Indemnified Person to take any action in the performance of his duties with or for the Registrant. Such waiver shall not apply to any claims or rights of action arising out of the fraud of such Indemnified Person or to recover any gain, personal profit or advantage to which such Indemnified Person is not legally entitled.
The Companies Act provides that a Bermuda company may indemnify its directors and officers in respect of any loss arising or liability attaching to them as a result of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust of which they may be guilty. However, the Companies Act also provides that any provision, whether contained in the Registrant's bye-laws or in a contract or arrangement between the Registrant and the director or officer, indemnifying such director or officer against any liability which would attach to him in respect of his fraud or dishonesty will be void.
The Registrant has purchased directors and officers liability insurance policies. Such insurance will be available to the Registrant's directors and officers in accordance with its terms. In addition, certain directors may be covered by directors and officers liability insurance policies purchased by their respective employers, subject to the limitation of the policy terms.
Item 7.
Exemption From Registration Claimed

Item 9.
Undertakings
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof), which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) (§ 230.424(b) of this chapter) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement;
(iii)
to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
provided
,
however
, That paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-8 (§ 239.16b of this chapter), and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78m or 78o(d)) that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
