(&#147;Kenmare&#148;), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Enstar Group Limited (&#147;Enstar&#148;), together with Trident V, L.P., Trident V Parallel Fund, L.P. and Trident V Professionals Fund, L.P. (collectively, &#147;Trident&#148;), completed the
previously announced acquisition of Arden Reinsurance Company Ltd. (&#147;Arden Re&#148;) from Arden Holdings Ltd. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Arden Re is a Bermuda-based
reinsurance company that provides reinsurance to the Atrium Underwriting group of companies and is currently in the process of running off certain other discontinued businesses. The purchaser of Arden Re, Northshore Holdings Limited
(&#147;Northshore&#148;), is 60% owned by Kenmare and 40% owned by Trident. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The purchase price for Arden Re was $79.6 million. Kenmare&#146;s portion of
the purchase price of $47.8 million was financed by a drawing under Enstar&#146;s revolving credit facility. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On September&nbsp;6, 2013, in connection
with the closing of the Arden Re acquisition, Northshore, Kenmare and Trident entered into the Shareholders&#146; Agreement (the &#147;Northshore Shareholders&#146; Agreement&#148;). As previously reported, the Northshore Shareholders&#146;
Agreement, among other things, provides that Kenmare has the right to appoint three members to the Northshore board of directors and Trident has the right to appoint two members. The Northshore Shareholders&#146; Agreement includes a five-year
period during which neither party can transfer its ownership interest in Northshore to a third party (the &#147;Restricted Period&#148;). Following the Restricted Period: (i)&nbsp;each party must offer the other party the right to buy its shares
before the shares are offered to a third party; (ii)&nbsp;Kenmare can require Trident to participate in a sale of Northshore to a third party as long as Kenmare owns 55% of Northshore; (iii)&nbsp;each party has the right to be included on a pro rata
basis in any sales made by the other party; and (iv)&nbsp;each party has the right to buy its pro rata share of any new securities issued by Northshore. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Northshore Shareholders&#146; Agreement also provides that during the 90-day period following the fifth anniversary of the Arden Re closing, and at any
time following the seventh anniversary of such closing, Kenmare would have the right to redeem Trident&#146;s shares in Northshore at their then fair market value, which would be payable in cash. Following the seventh anniversary of the Arden Re
closing, Trident would have the right to require Kenmare to purchase Trident&#146;s shares in Northshore for their then current fair market value, which Kenmare would have the option to pay either in cash or by delivering Enstar&#146;s ordinary
voting shares. The Northshore Shareholders&#146; Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In the event that the
previously announced acquisition of Atrium Underwriting Group Ltd. (&#147;Atrium&#148;) does not close, Northshore would repurchase Trident&#146;s 40% interest in Northshore at the same price that Trident purchased it. The Atrium acquisition remains
conditioned on the receipt of regulatory approvals and satisfaction of various customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2013. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Trident beneficially owns approximately 9.7% of Enstar&#146;s ordinary voting shares. </P>

Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
The provisions of Item 2.01 of this Current Report on
Form 8-K that relate to the Northshore Shareholders' Agreement are incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.
Item 2.01
Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On September 9, 2013, Kenmare Holdings Ltd.
("Kenmare"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Enstar Group Limited ("Enstar"), together with Trident V, L.P., Trident V Parallel Fund, L.P. and Trident V Professionals Fund, L.P. (collectively, "Trident"), completed the
previously announced acquisition of Arden Reinsurance Company Ltd. ("Arden Re") from Arden Holdings Ltd.
Arden Re is a Bermuda-based
reinsurance company that provides reinsurance to the Atrium Underwriting group of companies and is currently in the process of running off certain other discontinued businesses. The purchaser of Arden Re, Northshore Holdings Limited
("Northshore"), is 60% owned by Kenmare and 40% owned by Trident.
The purchase price for Arden Re was $79.6 million. Kenmare's portion of
the purchase price of $47.8 million was financed by a drawing under Enstar's revolving credit facility.
On September 6, 2013, in connection
with the closing of the Arden Re acquisition, Northshore, Kenmare and Trident entered into the Shareholders' Agreement (the "Northshore Shareholders' Agreement"). As previously reported, the Northshore Shareholders'
Agreement, among other things, provides that Kenmare has the right to appoint three members to the Northshore board of directors and Trident has the right to appoint two members. The Northshore Shareholders' Agreement includes a five-year
period during which neither party can transfer its ownership interest in Northshore to a third party (the "Restricted Period"). Following the Restricted Period: (i) each party must offer the other party the right to buy its shares
before the shares are offered to a third party; (ii) Kenmare can require Trident to participate in a sale of Northshore to a third party as long as Kenmare owns 55% of Northshore; (iii) each party has the right to be included on a pro rata
basis in any sales made by the other party; and (iv) each party has the right to buy its pro rata share of any new securities issued by Northshore.
The Northshore Shareholders' Agreement also provides that during the 90-day period following the fifth anniversary of the Arden Re closing, and at any
time following the seventh anniversary of such closing, Kenmare would have the right to redeem Trident's shares in Northshore at their then fair market value, which would be payable in cash. Following the seventh anniversary of the Arden Re
closing, Trident would have the right to require Kenmare to purchase Trident's shares in Northshore for their then current fair market value, which Kenmare would have the option to pay either in cash or by delivering Enstar's ordinary
voting shares. The Northshore Shareholders' Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
In the event that the
previously announced acquisition of Atrium Underwriting Group Ltd. ("Atrium") does not close, Northshore would repurchase Trident's 40% interest in Northshore at the same price that Trident purchased it. The Atrium acquisition remains
conditioned on the receipt of regulatory approvals and satisfaction of various customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2013.
Trident beneficially owns approximately 9.7% of Enstar's ordinary voting shares.
Item 2.03
Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
The provisions of Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K that relate to the Trident put right with respect to its interest in Northshore are
incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.
Item 8.01
Other Events.
On September 6, 2013, Enstar borrowed $47.8 million under its previously disclosed
$375.0 million five-year revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") provided by the Revolving Credit Facility Agreement with National
Australia Bank Limited ("NAB") and Barclays Bank PLC ("Barclays"), as mandated lead arrangers, NAB, Barclays and Royal Bank of Canada, as original lenders, and NAB as agent
(the "Credit Agreement"). The borrowing was used to fund Kenmare's portion of the purchase price for Arden Re. The interest rate on this borrowing is approximately 2.9%, subject to periodic adjustment in accordance with the terms of
the Credit Facility. The undrawn amount of $211.2 million remains available to Enstar under the Credit Facility. A description of the material terms of the Credit Facility is included in Item 1.01 of the Current Report on Form 8-K that Enstar
filed on July 9, 2013, and that description is incorporated herein by reference.
