Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On September 9, 2024, Enstar Group Limited (the "Company") and certain of its subsidiaries entered into (1) Amendment No. 1 to Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement, by and among the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, as borrowers and guarantors, National Australia Bank Limited ("NAB"), as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto and (2) Amendment No. 1 to Amended and Restated Letter of Credit Facility Agreement, by and among the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, as guarantors, its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cavello Bay Reinsurance Limited, as borrower, NAB, as administrative agent and several L/C issuing bank, and the lenders party thereto (together, the "Amendments").
The Amendments were made in connection with the Company's entry into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Elk Bidco Limited ("Parent") and the other parties thereto, dated as of July 29, 2024, as disclosed on the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on the same date. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company, certain wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent intend to effect a series of mergers, with the Company surviving such mergers as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the "Transaction").
The Amendments make certain changes to the respective underlying debt agreements that will take effect immediately prior to the consummation of the Transaction, including:
(1) revising the definition of "Change of Control," amending or adding certain other definitions and amending certain covenants to accommodate the consummation of the Transaction and the Company's post-Transaction ownership structure;
(2) modifying the financial covenants to test compliance on the last day of each fiscal quarter and resetting the calculation of the minimum consolidated net worth covenant such that (x) the $4.3 billion floor amount will be replaced with an amount equal to the greater of (a) $3 billion and (b) an amount equal to the product of (i) 70% times (ii) an amount equal to (A) the consolidated net worth of the Company immediately after the Transaction less (B) $500 million and (y) the portion of net income available for distribution to common shareholders and proceeds from common share issuances that are added to the minimum consolidated net worth covenant will be measured from the first fiscal quarter-end date that occurs after the consummation of the Transaction rather than June 30, 2022; and
(3) adding a customary right to cure breaches of financial covenants, subject to certain limitations, including on the number of times and frequency with which such cure right may be exercised during the term of the applicable debt agreements.
The Amendments also serve as a consent from each lender party to such Amendments to the consummation of the Transaction and a waiver of certain cross-defaults under certain of the Company's bilateral debt agreements that may otherwise result from the consummation of the Transaction.
Certain of the lenders and other parties to the Amendments, and their affiliates, have in the past provided, and may in the future provide, investment banking, underwriting, lending, commercial banking and other advisory services to the Company and its subsidiaries. Such lenders and other parties have received, and may in the future receive, customary compensation from the Company and its subsidiaries for such services.
The foregoing description of the Amendments is qualified by reference to the full text of the Amendments filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, each of which is incorporated herein by reference. For a complete description of the material terms of the credit agreements, please refer to Item 1.01 of the Company's Report on Form 8-K filed on June 1, 2023, and Item 1.01 of the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 2, 2023.

These statements include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of the Company and its management team. Investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those related to the satisfaction of any post-closing regulatory requirements.
Risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements, in addition to those identified above, include: (i) the completion of the proposed transaction on the anticipated terms and timing, (ii) the satisfaction of other conditions to the completion of the proposed transaction, including obtaining required shareholder and regulatory approvals; (iii) the risk that the Company's stock price may fluctuate during the pendency of the proposed transaction and may decline if the proposed transaction is not completed; (iv) potential litigation relating to the proposed transaction that could be instituted against the Company or its directors, managers or officers, including the effects of any outcomes related thereto; (v) the risk that disruptions from the proposed transaction (including the ability of certain customers to terminate or amend contracts upon a change of control) will harm the Company's business, including current plans and operations, including during the pendency of the proposed transaction; (vi) the ability of the Company to retain and hire key personnel; (vii) the diversion of management's time and attention from ordinary course business operations to completion of the proposed transaction and integration matters; (viii) potential adverse reactions or changes to business relationships resulting from the announcement or completion of the proposed transaction; (ix) legislative, regulatory and economic developments; (x) potential business uncertainty, including changes to existing business relationships, during the pendency of the proposed transaction that could affect the Company's financial performance; (xi) certain restrictions during the pendency of the proposed transaction that may impact the Company's ability to pursue certain business opportunities or strategic transactions; (xii) unpredictability and severity of catastrophic events, including but not limited to acts of terrorism, outbreaks of war or hostilities or global pandemics, as well as management's response to any of the aforementioned factors; (xiii) the possibility that the proposed transaction may be more expensive to complete than anticipated, including as a result of unexpected factors or events; (xiv) unexpected costs, liabilities or delays associated with the transaction; (xv) the response of competitors to the transaction; (xvi) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the proposed transaction, including in circumstances requiring the Company to pay a termination fee; (xvii) those risks and uncertainties set forth under the headings "Forward Looking Statements" and "Risk Factors" in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as such risk factors may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports filed by the Company with the SEC from time to time, which are available via the SEC's website at www.sec.gov; and (xviii) those risks that will be described in the proxy statement that will be filed with the SEC and available from the sources indicated below.
These risks, as well as other risks associated with the proposed transaction, are more fully discussed in the preliminary proxy statement (File no. 001-33289) that was filed with the SEC in connection with the proposed transaction. There can be no assurance that the proposed transaction will be completed, or if it is completed, that it will close within the anticipated time period. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other forward-looking statements.

We caution that you should not place undue reliance on any of our forward-looking statements. You should specifically consider the factors identified in this communication that could
2
cause actual results to differ. Furthermore, new risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it is impossible for us to predict those events or how they may affect the Company.
