LANCASHIRE HOLDINGS LIMITED 30 January 2012 London, UK Update on exposure to Japan earthquake and Thai floods losses Lancashire Holdings Limited ("the Company") today announces that its estimated loss in the fourth quarter of 2011 to the floods in Thailand, after reinsurance and reinstatement premiums, is between $24 million and $28 million. The Company has no direct exposure to Thai flood losses emanating from the Japanese reinsurance treaty products, including the Japanese Interests Abroad placements (JIA). The Company's assessment of its exposure to this event is ongoing and the Company's actual ultimate loss may vary from today's estimate. The Company also announces that, in line with guidance given in relation to its third quarter earnings regarding Japanese losses, the Company has increased its estimated exposure to the Tohoku earthquake by $42.2 million to a net loss estimate of $117.3 million. This is after reinstatement premium. The increase in reserves is mostly related to the Company's exposure to one significant cedant, and the Company has now reserved in full its remaining exposure to that client. Significant uncertainty remains on the eventual ultimate industry loss in relation to this event. As previously advised the Company will publish its full year results and hold an earnings call on Thursday 23 February 2012. Full details are posted on the Company's website at www.lancashiregroup.com For further information, please contact: Lancashire Holdings Limited Greg Lunn +44 (0)20 7264 4038 greg.lunn@lancashiregroup.com Jonny Creagh-Coen +44 (0)20 7264 4066 jonny.creagh-coen@lancashiregroup.com Haggie Financial +44 (0)20 7417 8989 Peter Rigby (Peter Rigby mobile 07803851426) About Lancashire Lancashire, through its UK and Bermuda-based insurance subsidiaries, is a global provider of specialty insurance products.
