PROXY STATEMENT
FOR
2012 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Why am I receiving these proxy materials?
We have made these proxy materials available to you on the internet or, in some cases, have delivered printed copies of these proxy materials to you by mail in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Enstar Group Limited (the “Company”) for use at the 2012 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of the Company to be held on Thursday, June 21, 2012 at 9:00 a.m. local time at the Tucker’s Point Hotel located at 60 Tucker’s Point Drive, Hamilton Parish, Bermuda and at any postponement or adjournment thereof. These proxy materials will first be sent or given to shareholders on May 8, 2012. You are invited to attend the Annual General Meeting and are requested to vote on the proposals described in this proxy statement.
Why did I receive a one-page notice in the mail regarding the internet availability of proxy materials instead of a full set of proxy materials?
Pursuant to rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), we have elected to provide access to our proxy materials via the internet. Accordingly, we are sending a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) to our shareholders. All shareholders will have the ability to access the proxy materials on the website referred to in the Notice or request to receive a printed set of the proxy materials. Instructions on how to access the proxy materials over the internet or to request a printed copy may be found in the Notice. In addition, shareholders may request to receive proxy materials in printed form by mail or electronically by email on an ongoing basis. We believe that providing access to our proxy material via the internet will expedite shareholders’ receipt of materials, while lowering costs and reducing the environmental impact of our Annual General Meeting because we will print and mail fewer full sets of materials.
What is included in these proxy materials?
These “proxy materials” include this proxy statement, our Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2011 and, if you received printed copies of the proxy materials by mail, the proxy card. We have included the Annual Report for informational purposes and not as a means of soliciting your proxy.
What matters are being voted on at the Annual General Meeting?
Shareholders will vote on the following proposals at the Annual General Meeting:
 
 	1.	Election of one Class III Director nominated by our Board to hold office until 2015.	
 
 	2.	Advisory approval of a resolution on our executive compensation.	
 
 	3.	Ratification of the appointment of KPMG, a Bermuda partnership (“KPMG”), as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2012 and authorization for the Board, acting through the Audit Committee, to approve the fees for the independent registered public accounting firm.	
 
 	4.	Acting on the election of directors for our subsidiaries.	
 
 	5.	Such other business as may properly come before the meeting and any postponement or adjournment thereof.

What are the Board’s voting recommendations?
The Board recommends that you vote your shares:
 
 	1.	“FOR” the nominee to serve on our Board (Proposal No. 1).	
 
 	2.	“FOR” advisory approval of the resolution on our executive compensation (Proposal No. 2).	
 
 	3.	“FOR” the ratification of the appointment of KPMG as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2012 and the authorization of our Board, acting through the Audit Committee, to approve the fees for the independent registered public accounting firm (Proposal No. 3).	
 
 	4.	“FOR” each of the subsidiary director nominees (Proposal No. 4).	
Where are the Company’s principal executive offices located and what is the Company’s main telephone number?
Our principal executive offices are located at Windsor Place, 3rd Floor, 18 Queen Street, Hamilton, HM JX, Bermuda. Our main telephone number is (441) 292-3645.
How can I get electronic access to the proxy materials?
The Notice will provide you with instructions regarding how to:
 
 	•	 	View on the internet our proxy materials for the Annual General Meeting; and	
 
 	•	 	Instruct us to send future proxy materials to you by email.	
Our proxy materials are also available on our website at http://www.enstargroup.com/financial-information.
Choosing to receive future proxy materials by email will save us the cost of printing and mailing documents to you. If you choose to receive future proxy materials by email, you will receive an email message next year with instructions containing a link to those materials and a link to the proxy voting website. Your election to receive proxy materials by email will remain in effect until you terminate it.
Who may vote at the Annual General Meeting?
Only holders of record of our voting ordinary shares as of the close of business on April 16, 2012 (the “record date”) are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual General Meeting. Holders of our non-voting convertible ordinary shares are welcome to attend, but not vote at, the Annual General Meeting. References in this proxy statement to “ordinary shares” do not refer to our non-voting convertible ordinary shares, which are not entitled to vote at the Annual General Meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof. As of the record date, there were 13,855,515 ordinary shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting. Except as set forth in our bye-laws, each ordinary share entitles the holder thereof to one vote. In accordance with our bye-laws, certain shareholders whose shares constitute 9.5% or more of the voting power of our ordinary shares are entitled to less than one vote for each ordinary share held by them.
What is the difference between a shareholder of record and a beneficial owner of shares held in street name?
Shareholder of Record.    If your shares are represented by certificates or book entries in your name so that you appear as a shareholder on the records of American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, our stock transfer agent, you are considered the shareholder of record with respect to those shares, and the Notice or, in some cases, the proxy materials were sent directly to you. If you request printed copies of the proxy materials, you will receive a proxy card.
Beneficial Owner of Shares Held in Street Name.    If your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer or other similar institution, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in street name and the Notice was forwarded to you by that institution. The institution holding your account is considered the shareholder of record for purposes of voting at the Annual General Meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to instruct that institution on how to vote the shares held in your account.

Table of Contents
What do I do if I received more than one proxy card?
If you receive more than one proxy card because you have multiple accounts, you should provide voting instructions for all proxy cards you receive to be sure all of your shares are voted.
How do I vote?
We hope that you will be able to attend the Annual General Meeting in person. Whether or not you expect to attend the Annual General Meeting in person, we urge you to vote your shares at your earliest convenience by one of the methods described below, so that your shares will be represented.
Shareholders of record can vote any one of four ways:
 
 	1.	Via the Internet:    You may vote by proxy via the internet by following the instructions provided in the Notice.	
 
 	2.	By Telephone:    You may vote by proxy by calling the telephone number found on the Notice. If you plan to vote for subsidiary directors on an individual basis under Proposal No. 4, you can do so only via internet or mail, or in person.	
 
 	3.	By Mail:    If you received printed copies of the proxy materials, you may vote by proxy by filling out the proxy card and sending it back in the envelope provided.	
 
 	4.	In Person:    You, or a personal representative with an appropriate proxy, may vote by ballot at the Annual General Meeting. We will give you a ballot when you arrive. If you need directions to the Annual General Meeting, please call our offices at (441) 292-3645.	
If you own shares in street name, you will receive instructions from the holder of record that you must follow in order for your shares to be voted. Internet and/or telephone voting also will be offered to shareholders owning shares through most banks and brokers. If you own shares in street name and you wish to attend the Annual General Meeting to vote in person, you must obtain a legal proxy from the institution that holds your shares and attend the Annual General Meeting, or send a personal representative with the legal proxy, to vote by ballot. You should contact your bank or brokerage account representative to learn how to obtain a legal proxy.
What is the voting deadline if voting by internet or telephone?
If you vote by internet or by telephone, you must transmit your vote by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on June 20, 2012.
How can I attend the Annual Meeting?
You may attend the Annual General Meeting if you were an Enstar shareholder of record as of the close of business on April 16, 2012 or you hold a valid proxy for the Annual General Meeting. You should be prepared to present photo identification for admittance. If you are a shareholder of record, your name will be verified against the list of shareholders of record on the record date prior to your being admitted to the Annual General Meeting. If you are not a shareholder of record but hold shares through a broker, trustee or nominee, you should provide proof of beneficial ownership on the record date, such as a recent account statement showing your ownership, a copy of the voting instruction card provided by your broker, trustee or nominee, or other similar evidence of ownership.
What is the quorum requirement for the Annual General Meeting?
Two or more shareholders present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at least a majority of the shares entitled to vote at the meeting constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be included in determining the presence of a quorum at the meeting. A broker non-vote occurs when a beneficial owner of shares held in street name does not provide voting instructions and, as a result, the institution that holds the shares is prohibited from voting those shares on certain proposals. Shares that are properly voted on the internet or by telephone or for which proxy cards are properly executed and returned, but lacking voting directions, will be counted towards the presence of a quorum.

Table of Contents
How are proxies voted?
Shares that are properly voted on the internet or by telephone or for which proxy cards are properly executed and returned will be voted at the Annual General Meeting in accordance with the directions given or, in the absence of directions, will be voted in accordance with the Board’s recommendations as set forth in “What are the Board’s voting recommendations?” above. If any other business is brought before the meeting, proxies will be voted, to the extent permitted by the rules and regulations of the SEC, in accordance with the judgment of the persons voting the proxies.
The manner in which your shares may be voted depends on how your shares are held. If you own shares of record, you may vote by proxy, meaning you authorize individuals named on the proxy to vote your shares. If you do not vote by proxy or in person at the Annual General Meeting, your shares will not be voted. If you own shares in street name, you may instruct the institution holding your shares on how to vote your shares. If you do not provide voting instructions, the institution may nevertheless vote your shares on your behalf with respect to the ratification of the appointment of KPMG as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2012, but not on any other matters being considered at the meeting.
What are the voting requirements to approve each of the proposals?
The election of directors and the ratification of KPMG as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2012 each require the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the shareholders at the meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of voting on any proposals. The vote on executive compensation, sometimes referred to as “say-on-pay,” is advisory only, but our Board will consider carefully the results of the vote. A majority of votes cast for or against the say-on-pay proposal will determine whether you approve of our executive compensation practices. With respect to Proposal No. 4, regarding the election of directors of our subsidiaries, our Board will cause our corporate representative or proxy to vote the shares of those subsidiaries in the same proportion as the votes received at the meeting from our shareholders.
Can I change my vote after I have voted?
You may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before the final vote at the Annual General Meeting. You may vote again on a later date via the internet or by telephone (in which case only your latest internet or telephone proxy submitted prior to 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on June 20, 2012 will be counted), by filling out and returning a new proxy card bearing a later date, or by attending the Annual General Meeting and voting in person. However, your attendance at the Annual General Meeting will not automatically revoke your proxy unless you vote again at the Annual General Meeting or specifically request that your prior proxy be revoked by delivering to our Corporate Secretary a written notice of revocation prior to the Annual General Meeting.
Who is paying for the cost of this proxy solicitation?
We will bear the cost of preparing and soliciting proxies, including the reasonable charges and expenses of brokerage firms or other nominees for forwarding proxy materials to the beneficial owners of our ordinary shares. In addition to solicitation by mail, certain of our directors, officers and employees may solicit proxies personally or by telephone or other electronic means without extra compensation, other than reimbursement for actual expenses incurred in connection with the solicitation.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Directors
Our Board is divided into three classes designated Class I, Class II and Class III. The term of office for our Class III director expires at this year’s Annual General Meeting; the term of office for each Class I director expires at our annual general meeting in 2013; and the term of office for each Class II director expires at our annual general meeting in 2014. At each annual general meeting, the successors of the class of directors whose term expires at that meeting will be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the annual general meeting to be held in the third year following the year of their election.
In connection with the merger of one of our wholly owned subsidiaries with The Enstar Group, Inc. on January 31, 2007 (the “Merger”), we completed a recapitalization (also on January 31, 2007). Pursuant to the terms of the agreement governing the recapitalization, each of Dominic F. Silvester, who is nominated for election at the Annual General Meeting, Paul J. O’Shea, and T. Whit Armstrong was named a director of the Company. On April 20, 2011, we entered into an Investment Agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) with certain affiliates of Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“Goldman Sachs”) and, pursuant to its terms, Sumit Rajpal was named a director of the Company.
The table below sets forth the names, ages and classes of our directors:

Name	  	Age	  	Class	 	
Dominic F. Silvester	  	51	  	 	III	  	
Robert J. Campbell	  	63	  	 	I

Sumit Rajpal	  	36	  	 	I	  	
Charles T. Akre, Jr.	  	69	  	 	II	  	
T. Whit Armstrong	  	65	  	 	II	  	
The Board believes that all of its directors have demonstrated professional integrity, ability and judgment, as well as leadership and strategic management abilities, and have each performed exceptionally well in their respective time served as directors. A number of our current directors have served as directors of the Company or of The Enstar Group, Inc. for many years, and during this time, we have experienced significant growth and success. Particular attributes that are significant to each individual director’s selection to serve on the Board are described in their biographies below.
Dominic F. Silvester has served as a director and the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of the Company since its formation in 2001. In 1993, Mr. Silvester began a business venture in Bermuda to provide run-off services to the insurance and reinsurance industry. In 1995, the business was assumed by Enstar Limited, which is now a subsidiary of the Company, of which Mr. Silvester was the Chief Executive Officer. From 1988 until 1993, Mr. Silvester served as the Chief Financial Officer of Anchor Underwriting Managers Limited. As a co-founder of the Company and its current CEO, Mr. Silvester contributes to the Board his intimate knowledge of the Company and the run-off industry. He is well known in the industry and is primarily responsible for identifying and developing our acquisition opportunities on a worldwide basis. Mr. Silvester has served as CEO of the Company since our inception, demonstrating his proven ability to manage and grow the business.
Robert J. Campbell has been a director of the Company since August 2007 and was appointed as the independent Chairman of the Board in November 2011.

Mr. Campbell brings to the Board his extensive understanding of finance and accounting, which he obtained through 40 years of analyzing financial services companies and which is very valuable in his role as chairman of our Audit Committee. In addition, Mr. Campbell’s investment management expertise makes him a key addition to our Investment Committee, of which he serves as chairman.

Charles T. Akre, Jr. was elected as a director of the Company at the annual general meeting of shareholders in 2009. He is the Managing Member and Chief Executive Officer of Akre Capital Management, LLC, a financial services investment advisory firm that he founded in 1989. Mr. Akre has been in the securities business since 1968 and is the primary person responsible for Akre Capital Management, LLC’s investment advisory services and investment selection. He launched the Akre Focus Fund in August 2009. Prior to managing the Akre Focus Fund, Mr. Akre was the sole portfolio manager of the FBR Focus Fund from its inception in December 1996 through August 2009. Before founding Akre Capital Management, LLC, Mr. Akre held positions as shareholder, director and Chief Executive Officer of Asset Management Division and Director of Research at Johnston, Lemon & Co., a NYSE member firm. Through his many years in the investment advisory business, Mr. Akre brings to our Board his investment expertise, in particular with respect to the insurance industry. His experience founding and managing Akre Capital Management and his knowledge of the financial markets are also very valuable to our Board.
T. Whit Armstrong became a director of the Company on January 31, 2007 in connection with the completion of the Merger. Mr. Armstrong served as a director of The Enstar Group, Inc. from June 1990 through the Merger.

Mr. Armstrong brings to our Board his financial reporting experience and substantial knowledge regarding the financial services sector and the banking industry in particular. In addition, Mr. Armstrong has many years of experience serving on boards of directors of other institutions.
Independence of Directors
Our Board currently consists of six directors, of which four are non-management directors. The Board determined that all of the non-management directors, Messrs. Akre, Armstrong, Campbell and Rajpal, are independent as defined by Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5605(a)(2). The Board made this determination based primarily on a review of the responses of the directors to questions regarding employment and compensation history, family relationships and affiliations, and discussions with the directors. For details about certain relationships and transactions among us and our executive officers and directors, see “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions” beginning on page 16.
Board Leadership Structure
On November 2, 2011, upon the recommendation of the Company’s then Chairman and CEO, Dominic F. Silvester, the Board separated the positions of Chairman and CEO. Mr. Silvester had served in both positions since the resignation of our former Executive Chairman on August 20, 2010. Upon separating the positions, the Board appointed Robert J. Campbell, an independent director, as Chairman. Mr. Silvester continues to serve as our CEO. The Board believes that separating the roles of Chairman and CEO and having Mr. Campbell serve as Chairman is the most effective leadership structure for our Company at this time. Mr. Campbell has served on

Table of Contents
our board for over four years and his perspective that comes from separation from our day-to-day affairs makes him well suited to assist with the execution of strategy and business plans, to play a prominent role in setting the Board’s agenda, to act as the liaison between the Board and the Company’s senior management, and to preside at Board and shareholder meetings.
The Board believes that the Company’s corporate governance structure appropriately satisfies the need for objectivity, and includes several effective oversight means, including:
 
 	•	 	the roles of Chairman and CEO are separated;	
 
 	•	 	the Chairman is an independent director;	
 
 	•	 	the Board is comprised of a majority of independent directors;	
 
 	•	 	following regularly scheduled Board meetings, the independent directors meet in executive session without Messrs. Silvester and O’Shea present to review, among other things, the performance of these executive officers; and	
 
 	•	 	various committees of the Board perform oversight functions independent of management, such as overseeing the integrity and quality of the Company’s financial statements, overseeing risk assessment and management and establishing senior executive compensation, and these committees are comprised only of independent directors.	
The Audit Committee and Compensation Committee are both comprised solely of independent directors and are both chaired by a different director, thus providing various directors with leadership opportunities and promoting the potential for differing perspectives and styles in key areas of governance. Two of the four members of the Investment Committee are independent directors and an independent director also serves as its chairman. In addition, the independent directors collectively perform the nominating function for the Board.
The Board recognizes, however, that no single leadership model is right for all companies at all times and that, depending on the circumstances in the future, other leadership models might be appropriate for us.
Board Committees
Our Board currently maintains an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and an Investment Committee. Current copies of the charter for each of these committees are available on our website at  http://www.enstargroup.com/corporate-governance . In addition, any shareholder may receive copies of these documents in print, without charge, by contacting Investor Relations at P.O. Box HM 2267, Windsor Place, 3rd Floor, 18 Queen Street, Hamilton, HM JX, Bermuda.
Audit Committee.    The Audit Committee is comprised of Messrs. Akre, Armstrong and Campbell, with Mr. Campbell serving as Chairman. The Audit Committee met four times during the year ended December 31, 2011. This committee has responsibility for the oversight of the quality and integrity of our financial statements, the qualifications and independence of our independent auditor, the performance of our internal audit function and independent auditor, and our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. The committee appoints, retains and approves the compensation for our independent auditors, pre-approves fees and services of the independent auditors and reviews the scope and results of their audit. The Audit Committee periodically reviews and discusses with management our Company’s guidelines and policies with respect to the process by which we undertake risk assessment and risk management, including discussion of our major financial risk exposures and the steps management has taken and is taking to monitor and control such exposures. Each member of the Audit Committee is a non-management director and is independent as defined in Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5605(a)(2) and under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Our Board has determined that Mr. Campbell, who is an independent director, qualifies as an audit committee financial expert pursuant to the definition set forth in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K, as adopted by the SEC. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter that has been approved by our Board. The charter is reviewed annually by the Audit Committee, which recommends any proposed changes to our Board.
Compensation Committee.    The Compensation Committee is comprised of Messrs. Akre, Armstrong and Campbell, with Mr. Akre serving as Chairman. The Compensation Committee met two times during the year ended

Table of Contents
December 31, 2011. The Compensation Committee has general responsibility for the compensation of our executive officers. The committee establishes our compensation philosophy and oversees the development and implementation of our compensation programs. The committee also periodically reviews the compensation of our directors and makes recommendations to our Board with respect thereto. Each member of the Compensation Committee is a non-management director and is independent as defined in Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5605(a)(2). The Compensation Committee operates under a written charter that has been approved by our Board. The charter is reviewed annually by the Compensation Committee, which recommends any proposed changes to our Board. Additional information on the Compensation Committee and the role of management in setting compensation is provided below in “Executive Compensation — Compensation Discussion and Analysis” beginning on page 19.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation.    No member of the Compensation Committee is or was during 2011 an employee, or is or ever has been an officer, of the Company. During the year ended December 31, 2011, no executive officer served as a member of the compensation committee or as a director of another entity having an executive officer serving on our Compensation Committee or as one of our directors.
Investment Committee.    The Investment Committee of our Company is comprised of Messrs. Akre, Campbell and Rajpal and Richard J. Harris, our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”). Mr. Campbell serves as Chairman. The Investment Committee met five times during the year ended December 31, 2011. The committee has general responsibility for supervising our investment activity. The committee regularly monitors our overall investment results, which it ultimately reports to our Board, and is responsible for developing and reviewing our investment guidelines and overseeing compliance with such guidelines. The committee operates under a written charter that has been approved by our Board. The charter is reviewed annually by the Investment Committee, which recommends any proposed changes to our Board.
Board Oversight of Risk Management
The Board has an active role, as a whole and also at the committee level, in overseeing management of risks facing our Company. The Board regularly reviews information regarding our operations, credit, liquidity and investments and the risks associated with each.
The Audit Committee, pursuant to its charter, regularly reviews and discusses with management our Company’s guidelines and policies with respect to the process by which we undertake risk assessment and risk management, including discussion of our major financial risk exposures and the steps management has taken and is taking to monitor and control such exposures. The Company’s Head of Internal Audit reports directly to the Audit Committee, and meets with the committee on a quarterly basis. Members of senior management have day-to-day responsibility for risk management and establishing risk management practices. Senior management reports directly to the Audit Committee with respect to matters within its responsibility, and reports all other risk-related matters directly to the full Board.
The Compensation Committee oversees compensation-related risks, as discussed in “Executive Compensation — Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Principal Elements of Executive Compensation — Annual Incentive Compensation.”
The Company’s Investment Committee is responsible for developing and reviewing our investment guidelines and overseeing compliance with such guidelines. The Investment Committee typically meets each quarter and reports risk-related matters directly to the full Board.
Board and Committee Meetings; Annual Meeting Attendance
We expect our directors to attend all meetings of our Board, all meetings of all committees of the Board on which they serve and each annual general meeting of shareholders, absent exigent circumstances. Our Board met a total of six times during the year ended December 31, 2011, including four regularly scheduled meetings and two special meetings called in connection with reviewing time-sensitive matters. In 2011, during the time they were serving, all of the directors, except Mr. Collins, attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board and the committees of the Board on which the director served. All directors then serving attended the 2011 annual general meeting of shareholders. In addition, in 2011, our independent directors met each quarter in executive sessions without management.

Director Nominations, Qualifications and Recommendations
We do not have a nominating committee, although we do have a formal nominations process. The Board believes that it is appropriate for the independent directors, rather than a separate committee comprised of our independent directors, to recommend director candidates. Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5605(e)(1) requires director nominees to be selected, or recommended to the Board for selection, either by (i) a majority of the independent directors in a vote in which only independent directors participate or (ii) a nominations committee comprised solely of independent directors. In November 2006, the Board adopted a resolution in accordance with these requirements regarding the nomination of directors. Pursuant to that resolution, the independent directors will conduct the director nomination process each year in connection with our annual general meeting of shareholders.
When identifying and reviewing director nominees, the independent directors consider the nominees’ personal and professional integrity, ability and judgment, as well as other factors deemed appropriate by the independent directors. For incumbent directors, the independent directors review each director’s overall service to the Company during the director’s term, including the number of meetings attended, level of participation and quality of performance. The independent directors considered and nominated the candidate proposed for election as director at the Annual General Meeting, with the Board unanimously agreeing on all actions taken in this regard. While we do not have a formal diversity policy for selection of directors, we seek to identify candidates who represent a mix of backgrounds and experiences that will improve the Board’s ability, as a whole, to serve the needs of our Company and the interests of our shareholders. We consider diversity broadly to include differences of professional experience, individual attributes and skill sets, perspective, knowledge and expertise in substantive matters pertaining to our business and industry. Given the complex nature of our business and the insurance and reinsurance industry, we seek to include directors whose experiences, although varying and diverse, are also complementary to and demonstrate a familiarity with the substantive matters necessary to lead the Company and navigate the run-off business.
Shareholders may recommend candidates to serve as directors by submitting a written notice to the Board at Enstar Group Limited, P.O. Box HM 2267, Windsor Place, 3rd Floor, 18 Queen Street, Hamilton, HM JX, Bermuda. Shareholder recommendations must be accompanied by sufficient information to assess the candidate’s qualifications and contain the candidate’s consent to serve as director if elected. Shareholder nominees will be evaluated by the independent directors in the same manner as nominees selected by the independent directors.
Code of Ethics/Code of Conduct
We have adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to all of our senior executive and financial officers, and a Code of Conduct that applies to all of our directors and employees, including all senior executive and financial officers covered by the Code of Ethics. Copies of our Code of Ethics and Code of Conduct are available on our website at  http://www.enstargroup.com/corporate-governance . In addition, any shareholder may receive copies of these documents in print, without charge, by contacting Investor Relations at Enstar Group Limited, P.O. Box HM 2267, Windsor Place, 3rd Floor, 18 Queen Street, Hamilton HM JX, Bermuda. We intend to post any amendments to our Code of Ethics or Code of Conduct on our website. In addition, we intend to disclose any waiver of a provision of the Code of Ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, as well as any waiver of a provision of the Code of Conduct that applies to our senior executives and financial officers, by posting such information on our website or by filing a Form 8-K with the SEC within the prescribed time period.
Shareholder Communications with the Board
Shareholders and other interested parties may send communications to our Board by sending written notice to our Corporate Secretary at Enstar Group Limited, P.O. Box HM 2267, Windsor Place, 3rd Floor, 18 Queen Street, Hamilton, HM JX, Bermuda. The notice may specify whether the communication is directed to the entire Board, to the independent directors, or to a particular Board committee or individual director. Our Corporate Secretary will handle routine inquiries and requests for information. If our Corporate Secretary determines the communication is made for a valid purpose and is relevant to the Company and its business, our Corporate Secretary will forward the communication to the entire Board, to the independent directors, to the appropriate committee chairman or to the individual director as the notice was originally addressed. At each meeting of our Board, our Corporate Secretary will present a summary of all communications received since the last meeting that were not forwarded and will make those communications available to the directors on request.

The Enstar Group Limited Deferred Compensation and Ordinary Share Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”) provides each non-employee director with the opportunity to elect (i) to receive all or a portion of his or her compensation for services as a director in the form of our ordinary shares instead of cash and (ii) to defer receipt of all or a portion of such compensation until retirement or termination. Non-employee directors electing to receive compensation in the form of ordinary shares receive whole ordinary shares (with any fractional shares payable in cash) as of the date compensation would otherwise have been payable. Non-employee directors electing to defer compensation have such compensation converted into share units payable as a lump sum distribution after the director’s “separation from service” as defined under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”). The lump sum share unit distribution will be made in the form of ordinary shares, with fractional shares paid in cash.
The following table summarizes the compensation of our non-employee directors who served in 2011.

(“Fund I”), a fund formed and managed by JCF & Co., participated in the acquisition of a subsidiary of New NIB. As of March 31, 2012, we also had an investment in Affirmative Investment LLC (“Affirmative”) of $0.3 million. We own a 7% non-voting membership interest in Affirmative and Fund I owns the remaining 93% interest. As of March 31, 2012, we have an investment of $1.1 million in Flowers Sego-Carrus Holdings, LLC, a joint venture between the Company, an unaffiliated third party and Flowers National Bank, an entity owned by Mr. Flowers. We have, as of March 31, 2012, invested $41.5 million in Varadero, a hedge fund. The investment manager of Varadero is Varadero Capital, L.P., of which Varadero GP, LLC is the general partner. Both the investment manager and general partner are partially owned by an entity affiliated with us and Mr. Flowers. In addition, we have entered into a participation agreement for $1.0 million with Flowers National Bank, an entity owned by Mr. Flowers.
From time to time, certain of our directors and executive officers have made, and may continue to make, significant personal commitments and investments in entities that are affiliates of or otherwise related to Mr. Flowers and in which we also have commitments or investments.

Transactions
In December 2007, we, in conjunction with JCF FPK I L.P. (“JCF FPK”), and a newly-hired executive management team, formed U.K.-based Shelbourne Group Limited (“Shelbourne”) to invest in Reinsurance to Close (“RITC”) transactions (the transferring of liabilities from one Lloyd’s Syndicate to another) with Lloyd’s of London insurance and reinsurance syndicates in run-off. We own approximately 56.8% of Shelbourne, which in turn owns 100% of Shelbourne Syndicate Services Limited, the Managing Agency for Lloyd’s Syndicate 2008, a syndicate approved by Lloyd’s of London in December 2007 to undertake RITC transactions with Lloyd’s syndicates in run-off. JCF FPK is a joint investment program between Fund II and Fox-Pitt Kelton Cochran Caronia Waller (USA) LLC (“FPK”). An affiliate of Fund II controlled approximately 41% of FPK until its sale of FPK in December 2009.
Lloyd’s Syndicate 2008 has, as of March 31, 2012, entered into ten RITC agreements with Lloyd’s syndicates. During 2009, Lloyd’s Syndicate 2008 entered into a RITC agreement with a Lloyd’s syndicate with total gross insurance reserves of approximately $67.0 million. During 2010, Lloyd’s Syndicate 2008 entered into RITC agreements with three Lloyd’s syndicates with total gross insurance reserves of approximately $192.6 million. In February 2011, Lloyd’s Syndicate 2008 entered into RITC agreements with two Lloyd’s syndicates with total gross insurance reserves of approximately $129.6 million. The capital commitment to Lloyd’s Syndicate 2008 as of March 31, 2012 amounted to £62.9 million (approximately $97.7 million) and was financed from available cash on hand. On January 1, 2012, Lloyd’s Syndicate 2008 closed its 2009 and prior years of account into the 2010 year of account by means of an RITC transaction, following which the noncontrolling interest relating to Lloyd’s Syndicate 2008 ceased, resulting in us now providing 100% of the investment in Lloyd’s Syndicate 2008.
Other Agreements with Directors and Executive Officers
On January 31, 2007, in connection with the Merger, we entered into a registration rights agreement with certain of our shareholders identified as signatories thereto. The agreement provides that either of Mr. Flowers and Mr. Silvester may make two requests that we effect the registration under the Securities Act of all or any part of his registrable securities. We also entered into a registration rights agreement with the Purchasers in connection with our private placement in 2011, which provides that at any time following April 20, 2012, the Purchasers may make two requests that we effect the registration under the Securities Act of the ordinary shares and non-voting ordinary shares issued to them in the private placement. Mr. Flowers, Mr. Silvester and the Purchasers all have “piggyback” registration rights under the respective registration rights agreements, which may result in their participation in an offering initiated by us.
Upon resignation from our Board on May 6, 2011, Mr. Flowers was entitled to receive distribution of all amounts previously accrued under the Deferred Compensation Plan and the EGI Plan. In accordance with the terms of these plans, on May 24, 2011, Mr. Flowers received 8,125 ordinary shares (with an aggregate value of $788,368.75, based on the closing price of our ordinary shares of $97.03 on the distribution date). The 8,125 ordinary shares consisted of 3,610 share units under the Deferred Compensation Plan and 4,515 restricted stock units under the EGI Plan that were converted into the same number of ordinary shares. Mr. Flowers also received $36,053.34 resulting from a distribution of 371.2 deferred units payable only in cash under the terms of the EGI Plan and consideration in respect of fractional shares under the plans also payable only in cash. All amounts distributed represented compensation that had previously been deferred by Mr. Flowers.
Upon resignation from our Board on September 30, 2011, Mr. Collins was entitled to receive distribution of all amounts previously accrued under the Deferred Compensation Plan and the EGI Plan. In accordance with the terms of these plans, on October 3, 2011, Mr. Collins received 5,407 ordinary shares (with an aggregate value of $486,954.42, based on the closing price of our ordinary shares of $90.06 on the distribution date). The 5,407 ordinary shares consisted of 4,103 share units under the Deferred Compensation Plan and 1,304 deferred units under the EGI Plan that were converted into the same number of ordinary shares. Mr. Collins also received $26,991.88 resulting from a distribution of 299.205 deferred units payable only in cash under the terms of the EGI Plan and consideration in respect of fractional shares under the plans also payable only in cash. All amounts distributed represented compensation that had previously been deferred by Mr. Collins.
In October 2010, we entered into share repurchase agreements (the “Repurchase Agreements”) with three of our executives and certain trusts and a corporation affiliated with the executives to repurchase an aggregate of

Table of Contents
800,000 of our ordinary shares at a price of $70.00 per share. We repurchased an aggregate of 600,000 ordinary shares from Mr. Silvester and a trust of which he and his immediate family are the sole beneficiaries, 100,000 ordinary shares from a trust of which Mr. O’Shea and his immediate family are the sole beneficiaries and 100,000 ordinary shares from a corporation owned by a trust of which Mr. Packer and his immediate family are the sole beneficiaries. The aggregate purchase price of $56.0 million is payable by us through promissory notes to the selling shareholders. The annual interest rate for the notes is fixed at 3.5%, and the notes are repayable in three equal installments on December 31, 2010, December 1, 2011 and December 1, 2012. The largest amount of principal of the notes outstanding during 2011 was $37.3 million. The amount of principal outstanding as of April 29, 2012 was $18.7 million. On December 9, 2011, we repaid $20.0 million of the promissory notes, comprised of principal of $18.7 million and accrued interest of $1.3 million.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers; Directors Indemnity Agreements
We have Indemnification Agreements with each of Messrs. Silvester, O’Shea, Packer, Campbell, Akre, Rajpal and Armstrong, as well as Mr. Flowers, who resigned from the Board on May 6, 2011, and Mr. Collins, who resigned from the Board on September 30, 2011. Each Indemnification Agreement provides, among other things, that we will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify and hold harmless each indemnitee if, by reason of such indemnitee’s status as a director or officer of the Company, such indemnitee was, is or is threatened to be made a party or participant in any threatened, pending or completed proceeding, whether of a civil, criminal, administrative, regulatory or investigative nature, against all judgments, fines, penalties, excise taxes, interest and amounts paid in settlement and incurred by such indemnitee in connection with such proceeding. In addition, each of the Indemnification Agreements provides for the advancement of expenses incurred by the indemnitee in connection with any proceeding covered by the agreement, subject to certain exceptions. None of the Indemnification Agreements precludes any other rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses to which the indemnitee may be entitled, including but not limited to, any rights arising under the Company’s governing documents, or any other agreement, any vote of the shareholders of the Company or any applicable law.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Compensation Committee Report
The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis set forth below with our management. Based on its review and discussions, the committee recommended to our Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this proxy statement and incorporated by reference into our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis
Executive Summary
In 2011, the Company continued to execute on its strategy in a challenging economic environment. We increased net book value per share — which we have identified as our primary corporate objective — by $11.29 per fully diluted share to $82.97, an increase of 15.8%. This increase was driven primarily by 2011 net earnings and the investment by affiliates of Goldman Sachs of approximately $292 million. While 2011 net earnings decreased by approximately 11.7% from record levels in 2010, the year was highlighted by our acquisition of Clarendon National Insurance Company, which was our largest acquisition to date, as well as our acquisition of four other companies and two portfolios of insurance and reinsurance businesses in run-off.
Based on these results, the Compensation Committee made the following key compensation decisions with respect to the 2011 performance year:
 
 	•	 	Incentive bonuses to each executive officer decreased by 11%, in line with the 11% overall decrease in the bonus pool (which is funded based on our net after-tax profits), demonstrating the alignment of pay and performance within our annual incentive program.	
 
 	•	 	Base salaries for 2012 remained flat, with no increases awarded from 2011 levels, primarily in recognition of the decrease in the Company’s 2011 earnings and the Company’s focus on expenses.	
Objectives of our Executive Compensation Program
Our Compensation Committee is responsible for establishing the philosophy and objectives of our compensation programs, designing and administering the various elements of our compensation programs and assessing the performance of our executive officers in making compensatory determinations and assessing the effectiveness of our compensation programs in achieving their objectives. The committee is comprised of three independent directors.
We are a rapidly growing company operating in an extremely competitive and changing industry. We believe that the skill, talent, judgment and dedication of our executive officers are critical factors affecting the long-term value of our company. Therefore, our goal is to maintain an executive compensation program that will:
 
 	•	 	induce performance consistent with clearly defined corporate objectives,	
 
 	•	 	align our executives’ long-term interests with those of our shareholders,	
 
 	•	 	fairly compensate our executives, and	
 
 	•	 	retain and attract qualified executives who are able to contribute to our long-term success.

We have specifically identified growth in our net book value per share as our primary corporate objective. We believe growth in our net book value is driven primarily by growth in our net earnings, which is in turn driven in large part by successfully completing new acquisitions and effectively managing companies and portfolios of business that we previously acquired. We have not identified specific metrics or targets against which we measure the performance of our executive officers, because we believe the structure of our bonus plan, as described below, induces performance consistent with our corporate objectives and aligns our executives’ long-term interests with those of our shareholders.
In 2011, we successfully grew our net book value per share from $71.68 at the end of 2010 to $82.97 at the end of 2011. However, net earnings attributable to the Company in 2011 decreased by approximately 11.7% to $153.7 million, as compared to $174.1 million in 2010. As discussed in more detail below, the decrease in net earnings resulted in decreased bonuses paid to executive officers under our 2011-2015 Annual Incentive Compensation Program (the “Annual Incentive Plan”) compared to 2010. The decreased bonuses were principally due to the overall bonus pool being smaller ($26.7 million in 2011, compared to $30.7 million in 2010) because of the decrease in our net after-tax profits before bonus expense ($177.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to $204.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2010).
Results of Shareholder Vote on Compensation
At our 2011 annual general meeting, our shareholders approved the compensation of our named executive officers with 84.8% of the total votes cast in favor of our executive compensation. The Compensation Committee reviewed the voting results, and the Committee considered the very positive shareholder reaction as a factor in deciding to maintain the current compensation program in 2012. Shareholders also overwhelmingly supported the Board’s recommendation in last year’s proxy statement that future shareholder votes on executive compensation be held on an annual basis, and accordingly, the Compensation Committee will consider the outcome of the Company’s shareholder executive compensation votes when making future compensation decisions for the named executive officers each year.
Role of Executive Officers and Compensation Consultants
The Compensation Committee makes compensation determinations for all of the named executive officers. As part of the determination process, Mr. Silvester, our CEO, assesses the Company’s overall performance and the individual contribution of each member of the executive leadership team. On an annual basis, he reviews the prior year’s compensation and presents recommendations to the Compensation Committee for salary and bonus awards for each named executive officer. The committee discusses these recommendations with Mr. Silvester and then meets in executive session to evaluate the recommendations, review the performance of all of the named executive officers, discuss CEO compensation, and make final compensation decisions.
Our CEO and CFO also support the Compensation Committee in its work by providing information relating to our financial results and plans, performance assessments of our executive officers, and other personnel-related data. Mr. Harris, our CFO, regularly attends portions of the meetings of our Compensation Committee in connection with performing these functions.
The committee has the authority under its charter to retain independent compensation consultants or other outside advisors. The Compensation Committee did not engage any advisors in 2011. During 2010, the committee had utilized compensation consultants for the first time, engaging two consultants at different points in the year who performed analyses regarding competitive conditions, base salaries, and the structure of the Annual Incentive Plan.
Principal Elements of Executive Compensation
Our executive compensation program currently consists of three components: base salaries, annual incentive compensation and long-term incentive compensation. There is no pre-established policy or target for the allocation of these components. Rather, the structure of our Annual Incentive Plan tends to dictate what percentage of our executives’ annual compensation is derived from their bonuses as opposed to their base salaries and the value of their perquisites. The Compensation Committee considers all compensation components in total when evaluating and making decisions with respect to each individual component.

In the third quarter of 2010, the Compensation Committee engaged Towers Watson as its compensation consultant to provide an independent review of our overall compensation arrangements for our executive officers and certain non-executive senior managers compared to the then most recently available compensation data (which was 2009 data) for other publicly-traded Bermuda companies in the insurance and reinsurance industry. Towers Watson also reviewed our 2006-2010 Annual Incentive Compensation Program (the “2006-2010 Annual Incentive Plan”), which was scheduled to expire in December 2010.
The companies included in the peer group considered by Towers Watson included Allied World Assurance Company Holdings Limited, Argo Group International Holdings Ltd., Aspen Insurance Holdings Ltd., Assured Guaranty Ltd., AXIS Capital Holdings Ltd., CRM Holdings, Ltd., EMC Insurance Group Inc., Endurance Specialty Holdings Ltd., Hilltop Holdings Inc., Maiden Holdings, Ltd., Max Capital Group Ltd. (now Alterra Capital Holdings Limited), Mercer Insurance Group, Inc., Montpelier Re Holdings Ltd., NYMAGIC, Inc., Platinum Underwriters Holdings Ltd., RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd. and RLI Corp. (collectively, the “TW Peer Group”). Towers Watson also updated peer compensation data provided in February 2010 by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (the “PWC Peer Group”) by providing more current compensation information for those companies. The PWC Peer Group included many of the companies in the TW Peer Group, as well as Arch Capital Group Ltd., Everest Re Group Ltd., PartnerRe Limited and White Mountains Insurance Group Ltd.
In November 2010, Towers Watson provided an analysis to the Compensation Committee that included a review of our overall compensation arrangements for our executive officers and certain non-executive senior managers, a review of the 2006-2010 Annual Incentive Plan, and recommendations for the implementation of a new annual incentive plan to replace the 2006-2010 Annual Incentive Plan. The analysis of compensation arrangements included a review of total compensation of executives and certain non-executive senior managers at the TW Peer Group companies and a comparison of the total compensation of our CEO, CFO, Executive Vice Presidents and certain non-executive senior managers to similar positions at the companies in the TW Peer Group and the PWC Peer Group.
In reviewing compensation for 2011 to determine whether we were meeting our goal of providing competitive compensation that will attract and retain qualified executives, the committee considered the Towers Watson report. The committee reviewed the compensation paid by the peer group companies for informational and overall comparison purposes. There was no target percentile or precise position in which we aimed to fall other than to generally be competitive with the compensation we offer our executives.
Base Salaries
The salaries of our CEO and our other executive officers are generally established based on the scope of the executives’ responsibilities, taking into account what the Compensation Committee believes to be competitive market compensation for similar positions based on the results of analyses performed by its compensation consultants (if any) and publicly available, as well as anecdotal, information available to the committee. Our goal is to provide base salary levels that are consistent with levels necessary to achieve our compensation objectives of fairly compensating our executives and retaining and attracting qualified executives who are able to contribute to our long-term success. We believe this is accomplished by maintaining compensation competitive with the market. We believe that below-market compensation could, in the long run, jeopardize our ability to retain our executive officers. Due to the competitive market for highly qualified employees in our industry and our geographic locations, we may choose to set our cash compensation levels at the higher end of the market in the future.
Any base salary adjustments are generally based on competitive conditions, market increases in salaries, individual performance, our overall financial results, estimates of the cost of living and changes in job duties and responsibilities. Pursuant to the employment agreements we have with our CEO and our other executive officers, base salaries are also subject to cost-of-living adjustments, which provide that an increase in an executive officer’s base salary with respect to each subsequent year may not be less than the product of the executive officer’s base salary multiplied by the annual percentage increase in the retail price index for the United States, as reported in the most recent report of the U.S. Department of Labor for the preceding year. Once increased, the executive officer’s annual salary cannot be decreased without his written consent.

Table of Contents
After considering the Towers Watson analysis discussed above, the Compensation Committee increased base salaries for 2011 by 7.1% for Mr. Silvester and by 5.0% for Messrs. O’Shea, Packer and Harris, plus, for all executive officers, an amount equal to the annual housing allowance, which was eliminated as a perquisite, primarily to reflect what the committee believed were appropriate cost-of-living adjustments. The Compensation Committee also considered then-current market conditions and determined that a greater increase was not warranted. Effective January 1, 2011, annual base salaries were as follows: (i) Mr. Silvester, $2,102,000 (increased from $1,866,667); and (ii) Messrs. O’Shea, Packer and Harris, $1,152,000 (increased from $1,000,000).
For 2012, the Compensation Committee maintained salaries at their 2011 levels, both because the committee believed that the increases in 2010 and 2011 had already brought base salaries more appropriately in line with competitive practice, and in furtherance of the enterprise-wide focus on expenses.
Annual Incentive Compensation
Our 2006-2010 Annual Incentive Plan expired in December 2010. As part of its review of our compensation practices, Towers Watson reviewed the 2006-2010 Annual Incentive Plan and recommended that the essential structure of the bonus plan should be maintained. Based in large part on the analysis provided by Towers Watson, in February 2011, the Compensation Committee adopted the Annual Incentive Plan, which is substantially similar to the 2006-2010 Annual Incentive Plan. The purpose of the Annual Incentive Plan is to set aside 15% of our net after-tax profits to be allocated among our executive officers and employees. The Annual Incentive Plan is designed to reward performance that is consistent with our primary corporate objective of increasing our net book value per share through growth in our net earnings. The percentage of net after-tax profits comprising the bonus pool will be 15% unless the Compensation Committee exercises its discretion to decrease or increase the percentage no later than 30 days after the last day of the year.
The allocation of the Annual Incentive Plan pool among our executive officers and the other participants in the plan is the responsibility of the Compensation Committee and is based on individual performance, as determined by the Compensation Committee with significant input from our CEO. After the year ended December 31, 2011, our CEO assessed the individual contribution of each member of our executive team and made a recommendation to the Compensation Committee as to the allocation of bonuses out of the bonus pool. While the bonus pool is quantified as 15% of our net after-tax profits, there are no quantitative performance objectives for the recommendation as to individual allocations, nor are specific goals or targets for the executive team established in advance.
The factors considered in evaluating individual performance traditionally have been the executive’s contribution to our operating results, including the performance of the areas over which each executive has primary responsibility. The allocations are discretionary and driven by the opinion of both the CEO and the Compensation Committee as to how each executive officer performed when looking back on the year. Because the bonus pool is a fixed amount determined by a pre-established financial metric, we allow for a subjective judgment in allocating the pool to the individuals. No pre-determined criteria are established or utilized to support that judgment. The Compensation Committee bases its opinion on its retrospective view of the executive’s overall contribution during the year. As discussed under “Long-Term Incentive Compensation”, the Compensation Committee decided, as it had in the past, to permit our executive officers to choose whether to receive their 2011 bonuses under the 2006-2010 Annual Incentive Plan in cash or ordinary shares, adjusted as necessary for fractional shares. For the year ended December 31, 2011, we awarded Mr. Silvester a total bonus of $2,450,000 and each of Messrs. O’Shea, Packer and Harris a total bonus of $2,000,000. Each recipient elected to receive his bonus in cash.
The Committee decreased bonuses paid to executive officers under the 2006-2010 Annual Incentive Plan compared to last year. This was principally due to the overall bonus pool being smaller ($26.7 million in 2011, compared to $30.7 million in 2010) because of the decrease in our net after-tax profits before bonus expense ($177.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to $204.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2010). The CEO and Compensation Committee have historically agreed that Mr. Silvester be paid a higher bonus in recognition of his efforts as CEO and that equal bonuses be paid to each other executive officer under the 2006-2010 Annual Incentive Plan based on the CEO’s assessment that all contributed equally, and as a reward and incentive for continued cohesiveness and teamwork. The Compensation Committee agreed with the
 
22

Table of Contents
CEO’s recommendation that each other current executive officer receive an equal share of the bonus pool as each contributed equally to our performance and each was instrumental in the operating results achieved. The Compensation Committee has approved these equal bonuses to Messrs. O’Shea, Packer and Harris because it determined that doing so promotes accord and a willingness to strive for favorable results in the area over which each executive has primary responsibility.
In making compensation decisions, the Compensation Committee has evaluated the Annual Incentive Plan and believes that it is properly aligned with the Company’s performance as a whole and does not provide incentives for our employees to take inappropriate or excessive risks in any particular year to the detriment of our long-term success, as any such detriment would negatively affect the amount of the bonus payments in future years. With each executive having meaningful equity holdings in the Company, the executives’ interests are aligned with achieving the Company’s long-term objectives, which also discourages inappropriate or excessive risks. Furthermore, the committee believes that at the present time the bonus structure addresses current market conditions, because the measure of net after-tax profits encompasses all aspects of our performance, including, among many other factors, market-sensitive areas such as the performance of our investment portfolio.
Long-Term Incentive Compensation
We have established the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”) to provide our employees long-term incentive compensation in the form of share ownership, which we believe furthers our objective of aligning the interests of management and the other participants in the plan with the interests of our shareholders. The Equity Incentive Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee currently expects that the majority of shares available for issuance under the Equity Incentive Plan will be used for the purpose of granting bonus shares, which may be issued in lieu of all or a portion of the cash bonus payments under the Annual Incentive Plan. The committee’s decision to permit our executive officers to choose whether to receive their 2011 bonuses under the 2006-2010 Annual Incentive Plan in cash or ordinary shares reflected the fact that the executives held meaningful shareholding positions, which, at present, the committee felt were sufficient to drive long-term performance and alignment with shareholder interests. With those factors, the committee believed it was appropriate to allow the executives to select the form of payment of their 2011 awards.
The Equity Incentive Plan provides the Compensation Committee with the flexibility to make other awards at various times and in varying amounts in its discretion and where particular circumstances warrant. In February 2011, the Compensation Committee granted 50,000 restricted shares to Mr. Harris under the Equity Incentive Plan in recognition of his efforts with respect to our finance and capital raising activities (specifically, the three-year $115 million term loan provided by Barclays in December 2010 and the approximately $292 million investment by affiliates of Goldman Sachs, which closed in April and December 2011) and our overall performance. These shares vest in four equal annual installments, with the first 12,500 having vested in February 2012 and the last scheduled to vest in February 2016.
Perquisites
Our executive officers participate in the same group insurance and employee benefit plans, including medical and dental insurance, long-term disability insurance and life insurance, on the same basis as our other salaried employees. In addition, our executive officers receive certain other benefits that are described below under “Executive Compensation Tables — Additional Benefits.”
Executive Employment Agreements
Compensation of our named executive officers is governed in part by the employment agreements we have in place with each of Messrs. Silvester, O’Shea, Packer, and Harris. The employment agreements originated with our 2007 merger with The Enstar Group, Inc. The agreements were a key part of the transaction, in recognition of the significance of securing the executive team for a number of years, which was deemed fundamental to the future success of the Company following the merger. The agreements were also designed to continue to motivate the executives by providing competitive compensation, while promoting a sense of security for the team as the Company entered into its next stage.
 
23

Table of Contents
As the initial five-year term of the 2007 employment agreements came to end, the Compensation Committee re-assessed the agreements, and decided to ask each executive to agree to an extension for an additional five-year term. In reviewing the original objectives of the contracts, the Committee determined that the management team, which consists of the three co-founders of the Company and the Chief Financial Officer (who has served in that role with the Company since 2003), remains essential to the Company’s success, as demonstrated by the substantial growth and success of Enstar both over the long term and in recent years. The Compensation Committee believed that securing the executive leadership team for an additional five-year term, and re-establishing protective covenants for the Company regarding non-competition, non-solicitation, and confidentiality, were of key importance to Enstar. In addition, it was the committee’s judgment that renewing the agreements would continue to motivate the executives and promote their sustained level of high performance, and further was in line with the overall objectives of our executive compensation programs. See “Executive Compensation Tables — Employment Agreements with Executive Officers” below for a summary of these employment agreements.
Post-Termination Protection and Change in Control
Our employment agreements with Messrs. Silvester, O’Shea, Packer and Harris each provide for accelerated vesting of equity in the event that we are subject to a change in control and the executive officer’s employment terminates for specified reasons. See “Executive Compensation Tables — Employment Agreements with Executive Officers” below for a summary of these employment agreements. The terms of each employment agreement reflect arm’s length negotiations between us and the executive officer. In addition, our Equity Incentive Plan and our Annual Incentive Plan provide that our executive officers receive certain benefits upon a change in control. These benefits are described below in “Executive Compensation Tables — Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.” The basis for the change in control provisions in both the employment agreements and the incentive plans is that they were consistent with customary industry practice and competitive in the marketplace at the time they were entered into or established.
Hedging Prohibition and Share Ownership Guidelines
Under our Code of Conduct, our employees, officers, and directors are prohibited from engaging in any hedging or monetization transactions involving Enstar securities, such as zero-cost collars and forward sale contracts, and are also prohibited from trading in derivatives of an Enstar security, such as exchange-traded put or call options and forward transactions. We currently do not require our directors or executive officers to own a particular amount of our ordinary shares. The Compensation Committee is satisfied that the equity holdings among our executive officers — currently our executive officers beneficially own in aggregate approximately 19.2% of our shares outstanding — are sufficient at this time to provide motivation and to align this group’s interests with the interests of our shareholders without formal share ownership guidelines.
Financial Restatements
The Compensation Committee has not adopted a policy with respect to whether we will make retroactive adjustments to any cash- or equity-based incentive compensation paid to executive officers (or others) where the payment was predicated upon the achievement of financial results that were subsequently the subject of a restatement, although, as a publicly traded company, the mandates of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requiring clawback of compensation under specified circumstances would apply to us. Our Compensation Committee believes that this issue is best addressed if the need actually arises, when all of the facts regarding the restatement are known. Once final rules are released regarding clawback requirements under the Dodd-Frank Act, the Company intends to review the rules and consider adoption of responsive policies.
Tax and Accounting Treatment of Compensation
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code places a limit of $1,000,000 on the amount of compensation that we may deduct from our U.S. source income in any one year with respect to certain of our executive officers. As a Bermuda-based company with limited U.S. source income, this limitation has not historically impacted our decisions regarding executive compensation.
 
24

Table of Contents
We account for equity compensation paid to our employees based on the guidance of the Share-Based Payment topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification, which requires us to estimate and record an expense for each award of equity compensation over the service period of the award. Accounting rules also require us to record cash compensation as an expense at the time the obligation is accrued.
Conclusion
The Compensation Committee believes that our compensation philosophy and programs are designed to foster a performance-oriented culture that aligns our executive officers’ interests with those of our shareholders. The Compensation Committee also believes that the compensation of our executives is both appropriate and responsive to the goal of improving shareholder value through growth in our net book value per share.

2006 Enstar Group Limited Equity Incentive Plan
On September 15, 2006, the Board and shareholders adopted the Equity Incentive Plan, which reserved 1,200,000 ordinary shares for issuance pursuant to awards granted under the Equity Incentive Plan. The Equity Incentive Plan provides that awards may be granted to participants in any of the following forms, subject to such terms, conditions and provisions as the Compensation Committee may provide: (i) incentive stock options (“ISOs”), (ii) nonstatutory stock options (“NSOs”), (iii) stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), (iv) restricted share awards, (v) restricted share units (“RSUs”), (vi) bonus shares and (vii) dividend equivalents. The maximum aggregate number of ordinary shares subject to each of the following types of awards granted to an employee during any year under the plan is 120,000 shares: options, SARs, restricted share awards and RSUs with performance-based vesting criteria. In addition, the aggregate number of bonus shares granted to an employee under the plan may not exceed 120,000. The Compensation Committee has broad authority to administer the plan, including the authority to select plan participants, determine when awards will be made, determine the type and amount of awards, determine any limitations, restrictions or conditions applicable to each award, and determine the terms of any agreement or other document that evidences an award.
Enstar Group Limited 2011-2015 Annual Incentive Compensation Program
On February 23, 2011, the Board adopted the Annual Incentive Plan. The purpose of the Annual Incentive Plan, which is administered by the Compensation Committee, is to motivate certain officers, directors and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries to grow our profitability, which we believe primarily drives growth in our net book value in furtherance of our primary corporate objective. The Annual Incentive Plan provides for the annual grant of bonus compensation (a “bonus award”) to certain officers and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, including our senior executive officers. The aggregate amount available for bonus awards for each year from 2011 through 2015 will be determined by the Compensation Committee based on a percentage of our consolidated net after-tax profits (before bonus expense). The percentage will be 15% unless the Compensation Committee exercises its discretion to decrease or increase the percentage no later than 30 days after the last day of the year. The Compensation Committee determines, at its sole discretion, the amount of the bonus award paid to each participant. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the aggregate amount available for bonus awards under the Annual Incentive Plan was $26.7 million, or 15% of our net after-tax profits before bonus expense.
Bonus awards are payable in cash, ordinary shares or a combination of both. Ordinary shares issued in connection with a bonus award will be issued pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the Equity Incentive Plan.
In March 2012, the Compensation Committee granted bonus awards to participants in the Annual Incentive Plan in recognition of services performed during 2011. The named executive officers had the option to choose to receive the awards in cash or fully-vested bonus shares granted pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan. Mr. Silvester was awarded $2,450,000 and Messrs. Harris, O’Shea and Packer were each awarded $2,000,000. Each named executive officer elected to receive his award in cash. The Compensation Committee made bonus determinations under the Annual Incentive Plan at its meeting on February 21, 2012.
Enstar Group Limited 2006-2010 Annual Incentive Compensation Program
Prior to the adoption of the Annual Incentive Plan, we had in place a substantially similar plan, the 2006-2010 Annual Incentive Plan. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the aggregate amount available for bonus awards under the 2006-2010 Annual Incentive Plan was $30.7 million, respectively, or 15% of our net after-tax profits before bonus expense.

Table of Contents
In March 2011, the Compensation Committee granted bonus awards to participants in the 2006-2010 Annual Incentive Plan in recognition of services performed during 2010. The named executive officers had the option to choose to receive the awards in cash or fully-vested bonus shares granted pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan. Mr. Silvester was awarded $2,750,000 and Messrs. Harris, O’Shea and Packer were each awarded $2,250,000. Messrs. Silvester, O’Shea and Packer elected to receive the total award in cash, and Mr. Harris elected to receive 75% of his award in cash and 25% in bonus shares. The Compensation Committee made bonus determinations under the 2006-2010 Annual Incentive Plan at its meeting on February 23, 2011, and further determined that the bonus shares would be awarded on the fifth day following the release of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. The choice of this date is consistent with the committee’s past practice and the committee’s desire to use a market price that reflects the impact of the information contained in our Annual Report. The closing price of our ordinary shares on the Nasdaq Global Select Market for grant date of the award, March 11, 2011, $89.87, was used to determine the overall number of shares awarded to Mr. Harris under the Equity Incentive Plan.
Retirement Benefits
We maintain retirement plans and programs for our employees in Bermuda, Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States. We do not maintain a formal retirement plan for those Bermuda employees who are work permit holders. Instead, we pay out on an annual basis to employees, including each of Messrs. Silvester, O’Shea, Packer and Harris, an amount equal to 10% of their base salaries in lieu of a retirement benefit contribution. The amounts paid to Messrs. Silvester, O’Shea, Packer and Harris are included in the amounts shown in the “All Other Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table above.
Under the Australian Superannuation Guarantee Act (“the Act”), our Australia subsidiaries must pay superannuation contributions into a complying superannuation fund in an amount equal to the current mandated minimum of 9% of ordinary time earnings as defined by the Act. We currently contribute in excess of the guarantee amount by paying contributions at the 10% level. Additionally, the employee may make personal contributions to their superannuation fund depending on individual circumstances. The superannuation contributions are paid into a fund chosen by the employee with their desired superannuation manager. The plan is fully portable should the employee cease to be employed by us. None of our named executive officers participates in this plan.
Our United Kingdom subsidiaries operate a Group Personal Pension Plan with a United Kingdom life assurance company into which we contribute monthly an amount equal to 10% of the employees’ base pre-tax salary. In addition, the employee may make personal contributions to the plan. The plan is a defined contribution plan and remains the property of the employee who has discretion over investment choices within his individual plan. The plan is fully portable should the employee cease to be employed by us. None of our named executive officers participates in this plan.
In the United States, Enstar (U.S.) Inc. maintains a 401(k) & Savings Plan, under which employees may contribute a portion of their earnings on a tax-deferred basis and we may make matching contributions. We may also make profit sharing contributions on a discretionary basis. None of our named executive officers participates in this plan.
Additional Benefits
The Bermudian government imposes payroll taxes and social insurance taxes as a percentage of the employee’s salary, a portion of which is the employer’s responsibility and a portion of which may be charged to the employee. We pay the employee’s share of these taxes for all of our employees in Bermuda, including executive officers. This amount is included in the “All Other Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table above for all of our named executive officers subject to these taxes.

Option Exercises and Stock Vested during 2011 Fiscal Year
None of the named executive officers exercised options or had stock awards vest in 2011.
Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control
This section describes payments that would be made to our named executive officers upon a change in control of the Company or following termination of employment. In the first part of this section, we describe benefits under general plans that apply to any executive officer participating in those plans. We then describe specific benefits to which each named executive officer is entitled, along with estimated amounts of benefits assuming termination for specified reasons as of December 30, 2011, the last business day of the year.
2006 Equity Incentive Plan
We maintain the Equity Incentive Plan, as described above. Under the Equity Incentive Plan, upon the occurrence of a change in control, executive officers receive the following benefits:
 
 	•	 	each option and stock appreciation right then outstanding becomes immediately exercisable, and remains exercisable throughout its entire term, unless exercised, cashed out or replaced;	
 
 	•	 	forfeiture provisions and transfer restrictions with respect to restricted shares and restricted share units immediately lapse; and	
 
 	•	 	any target performance goals or payout opportunities attainable under all outstanding awards of performance-based restricted stock, performance units and performance shares are deemed to have been fully attained.	
In addition, options granted under the Equity Incentive Plan generally vest fully upon an executive officer’s retirement, death or disability. Upon termination of employment due to retirement, death or disability, an optionee has either one year or until the expiration date of the options (whichever occurs first) to exercise any vested options. Optionees generally have either three months or until the expiration date of the options (whichever occurs first) to exercise their options upon any other termination of employment other than termination for cause, in which case all options terminate immediately. In addition, the Compensation Committee may require an optionee to disgorge any profit, gain or other benefit received in respect of the exercise of any awards for a period of up to 12 months prior to optionee’s termination for cause. Forfeiture provisions and transfer restrictions with respect to restricted shares granted under the Equity Incentive Plan generally lapse upon an executive officer’s death or disability. Upon any other termination of employment other than termination for cause, in which case all restricted shares are forfeited immediately, any restricted shares subject to transfer restrictions as of the

Table of Contents
date of termination are forfeited immediately. In addition, the Compensation Committee may require a grantee of restricted shares to disgorge any profit, gain or other benefit received in respect of the lapse of restrictions on any prior grant of restricted shares for a period of up to 12 months prior to grantee’s termination for cause. Retirement is defined under the Equity Incentive Plan as termination of employment after attainment of age 65 and completion of a period of service as the Compensation Committee shall determine from time to time. Disability is defined as within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Under the Equity Incentive Plan, a “change in control” occurs if:
 
 	•	 	a person, entity or “group” (other than the Company, its subsidiaries, or an employee benefit plan of the Company or its subsidiaries that acquires ownership of voting securities of the Company) required to file a Schedule 13D or Schedule 14D-1 under the Exchange Act becomes the beneficial owner of 50% or more of either our then outstanding ordinary shares or the combined voting power of our outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors;	
 
 	•	 	our Board is no longer composed of a majority of individuals who were either members as of the date the Equity Incentive Plan was adopted, or whose appointment, election or nomination for election was approved by a majority of the directors then comprising the incumbent Board (other than someone who becomes a director in connection with an actual or threatened election contest);	
 
 	•	 	our shareholders approve a reorganization, merger or consolidation by reason of which persons who were the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to such reorganization, merger or consolidation do not, immediately thereafter, own more than 50% of the combined voting power of the reorganized, merged or consolidated company’s then-outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors; or	
 
 	•	 	our shareholders approve a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company, or the sale, transfer, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of our assets, and such transaction is consummated.	
2011-2015 Annual Incentive Compensation Program
We also maintain the Annual Incentive Plan, under which a change in control affects the measurement period for the executive officers’ bonuses under such program. The measurement period to determine bonuses for executive officers is the calendar year. However, in the event of a change in control, the measurement period begins on the first day of the calendar year and ends on the date of the change in control, thus, bonuses earned up to that date are paid out sooner than they otherwise would be. A change in control under the Annual Incentive Plan is defined to be the same as a change in control under the executive officer’s employment agreement, or if the officer does not have an employment agreement, a change in control is defined to be the same as a change in control under the Equity Incentive Plan.
Executive Officer Employment Agreements
In addition to the benefits described above, the executive officers are entitled to certain other benefits under their employment agreements upon termination of their employment. Upon termination for any reason, each is entitled to any salary, bonuses, expense reimbursement and similar amounts earned but not yet paid.
If the employment of an executive officer terminates as a result of his death, his employment agreement automatically terminates, and his designated beneficiary or legal representatives are entitled to:
 
 	•	 	a lump sum payment in the amount of five times of the executive officer’s base salary upon his death under the life insurance policy maintained by us;	
 
 	•	 	for the year in which the executive officer’s employment terminates, provided that we achieve the performance goals, if any, established in accordance with any incentive plan in which the executive officer participates, an amount equal to the bonus that the executive officer would have received had he been employed by us for the full year, reduced on a pro rata basis to reflect the amount of calendar days during the year that he was employed; and	
 
 	•	 	continued medical benefits coverage under the employment agreement for the executive officer’s spouse and dependents for a period of 36 months following his death.	
 
32

Table of Contents
Either the executive officer or we may terminate his employment agreement if the executive officer becomes disabled, by providing 30 days’ prior written notice to the other party. Under the executive officers’ employment agreements, disability means the executive officer has been materially unable to perform his duties for any reason for 120 days during any period of 150 consecutive days. If the executive officer’s employment ends because of disability, then he is entitled to:
 
 	•	 	medical benefits for himself for 36 months following termination;	
 
 	•	 	his base salary for a period of 36 months (with base salary payments being offset by any payments to the executive officer under disability insurance policies paid for by us); and	
 
 	•	 	for the year in which the executive officer’s employment terminates because of disability, provided that we achieve the performance goals, if any, established in accordance with any incentive plan in which the executive officer participates, an amount equal to the bonus that he would have received had he been employed by us for the full year, reduced on a pro rata basis to reflect the amount of calendar days during the year that he was employed.	
If we terminate the employment agreement of an executive officer for “cause,” or if an executive officer voluntarily terminates his employment agreement with us without “good reason,” we will not be obligated to make any payments to the executive officer other than amounts that have been fully earned by, but not yet paid to, the executive officer.
Under these employment agreements, “cause” means (i) fraud or dishonesty in connection with the executive’s employment that results in a material injury to us, (ii) the executive officer’s conviction of any felony or crime involving fraud or misrepresentation, (iii) a specific material and continuing failure of the executive officer to perform his duties (other than because of death or disability) following written notice and failure by the executive officer to cure such failure within 30 days, or (iv) a specific material and continuing failure of the executive officer to follow reasonable instructions of the Board following written notice and failure by the executive officer to cure such failure within 30 days.
Under the employment agreement, “good reason” means (i) a material breach by us of our obligations under the agreement following written notice and failure by us to cure such breach within 30 days, (ii) the relocation of the executive officer’s principal business office outside of Bermuda without his consent, or (iii) any material reduction in the executive officer’s duties or authority.
If we terminate the executive officer’s employment without cause, if the executive officer terminates his employment with good reason or if we or the executive officer terminate his employment within one year after a change in control (as defined above under “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control — 2006 Equity Incentive Plan”) has occurred, then the executive officer is entitled to:
 
 	•	 	any amounts (including salary, bonuses, expense reimbursement, etc.) that have been fully earned by, but not yet paid to, the executive officer as of the date of termination;	
 
 	•	 	a lump sum amount equal to three times the executive officer’s base salary;	
 
 	•	 	continued medical benefits coverage for the executive officer, his spouse and dependents at our expense for 36 months;	
 
 	•	 	each outstanding equity incentive award granted to the executive officer before, on or within three years of the effective date of the employment agreement shall become immediately vested and exercisable on the date of such termination; and	
 
 	•	 	for the year in which the executive officer’s employment terminates, provided that we achieve any performance goals established in accordance with any incentive plan in which the executive officer participates, an amount equal to the bonus that the executive officer would have received had he been employed by us for the full year.	
The executive officer is also subject to non-competition restrictions and provisions prohibiting solicitation of our employees and our customers during the term of his employment, along with ongoing confidentiality and non-disparagement requirements.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT
The primary purpose of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board of Directors in its oversight of the integrity of the Company’s financial statements, the Company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, the independent registered public accounting firm’s qualifications, independence and performance and the performance of the Company’s internal audit function. The Audit Committee is solely responsible for the appointment, retention and compensation of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. It is not the responsibility of the Audit Committee to plan or conduct audits or to determine that the Company’s financial statements are complete and accurate and are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and applicable rules and regulations. This is the responsibility of management and the independent auditors, as appropriate.
In performing its duties, the Audit Committee:
 
 	•	 	has reviewed the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011 and had discussions with management regarding the audited financial statements;	
 
 	•	 	has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by AU Section 380 (Communication with Audit Committees) under which such firm must provide us with additional information regarding the scope and results of its audit of the Company’s financial statements;	
 
 	•	 	has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant’s communication with the Audit Committee concerning independence; and	
 
 	•	 	has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm their independence, the audited financial statements and other matters the Audit Committee deemed relevant and appropriate.	
Based on these reviews and discussions, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011 be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for that year.

PROPOSAL NO. 1 — ELECTION OF DIRECTOR
One Class III director is to be elected at the meeting to hold office until our annual general meeting in 2015. Mr. Silvester, the nominee, is currently a director and our Chief Executive Officer. His biography is available above under “Corporate Governance — Directors.”
In accordance with the resolutions adopted by our Board regarding the nomination of individuals to serve as directors of the Company, our Board nominated Mr. Silvester following the recommendation by our independent directors. Mr. Silvester has consented to serve if elected. We do not expect that Mr. Silvester will become unavailable for election as a director, but if he should become unavailable prior to the meeting, the proxies to vote for him will instead be voted for a substitute nominee recommended by our Board.
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE FOR THE ELECTION OF THE NOMINEE.

PROPOSAL NO. 2 — ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
In accordance with the recommendation of the Board and the preference expressed by our shareholders at the 2011 annual general meeting, we hold an advisory vote on our executive compensation each year. Accordingly, we are asking our shareholders to cast an advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement.
The Board recognizes that executive compensation is an important matter for our shareholders. The guiding principles of our executive compensation philosophy and practice continue to be to:
 
 	•	 	induce performance consistent with clearly defined corporate objectives;	
 
 	•	 	align our executives’ long-term interests with those of our shareholders;	
 
 	•	 	fairly compensate our executives; and	
 
 	•	 	retain and attract qualified executives who are able to contribute to our long-term success.	
We have specifically identified growth in our net book value per share as our primary corporate objective. We believe growth in our net book value is driven primarily by growth in our net earnings, which is in turn driven in large part by successfully completing new acquisitions and effectively managing companies and portfolios of business that we previously acquired. In 2011, we increased net book value per share by $11.29 per fully diluted share to $82.97, an increase of 15.8%. This increase was driven primarily by 2011 net earnings and the investment by affiliates of Goldman Sachs of approximately $292 million. While 2011 net earnings decreased by approximately 11.7% from record levels in 2010, the year was highlighted by our acquisition of Clarendon National Insurance Company, which was our largest acquisition to date, as well as our acquisition of four other companies and two portfolios of insurance and reinsurance businesses in run-off.
Based on these results, the Compensation Committee made the following key compensation decisions with respect to the 2011 performance year:
 
 	•	 	Incentive bonuses to each executive officer decreased by 11%, in line with the 11% overall decrease in the bonus pool (which is funded based on our net after-tax profits), demonstrating the alignment of pay and performance within our annual incentive program.	
 
 	•	 	Base salaries for 2012 remained flat, with no increases awarded from 2011 levels, primarily in recognition of the decrease in the Company’s 2011 earnings and the Company’s focus on expenses.	
Before you vote, we urge you to read the Compensation Discussion and Analysis and the Executive Compensation Tables section of this proxy statement for additional details on our executive compensation, including its governance, framework, components, and the compensation decisions for our named executive officers for 2011.
As an advisory vote, the results of this vote will not be binding on the Board or the Company. However, the Board values the opinions of our shareholders, and will, as it did last year, carefully consider the outcome of the vote when making future decisions on the compensation of our named executive officers and the Company’s executive compensation principles, policies and procedures.
We ask our shareholders to approve the compensation of our named executive officers by voting “FOR” the following resolution:
RESOLVED, that the Company’s shareholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the named executive officers, as disclosed in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2012 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the Summary Compensation Table and the other related tables and disclosure.
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE FOR APPROVAL OF THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, AS DISCLOSED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT.

PROPOSAL NO. 3 — RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Audit Committee of our Board has appointed KPMG, a Bermuda partnership (“KPMG”), as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2012. At the Annual General Meeting, shareholders will be asked to ratify this appointment and to authorize our Board, acting through the Audit Committee, to approve the fees for KPMG. The Audit Committee’s decision to appoint KPMG followed its review of our auditors and associated expenses, and its conclusion that KPMG’s fee proposal was compelling and in line with the Company’s focus on expense reduction. Representatives of KPMG are expected to be present at the meeting, will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and are expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE FOR THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF KPMG AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR 2012 AND THE AUTHORIZATION OF OUR BOARD, ACTING THROUGH THE AUDIT COMMITTEE, TO APPROVE THE FEES FOR THE INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM.
Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On April 17, 2012, the Audit Committee determined not to reappoint Deloitte & Touche Ltd., Bermuda (“Deloitte”), as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the Company’s 2012 fiscal year. Deloitte served as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2010 and 2011 and will serve during the subsequent interim period through the date of the Annual General Meeting. Representatives of Deloitte are expected to be present at the meeting, will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and are expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.
During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the subsequent interim period through the date of the Audit Committee’s decision not to reappoint Deloitte, the Company had no disagreements with Deloitte on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosures, or auditing scope or procedure that, if not resolved to Deloitte’s satisfaction, would have caused Deloitte to make reference to the subject matter thereof in connection with its report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for either year.
Deloitte’s audit report dated February 24, 2012 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of, and for the years ended, December 31, 2011 and 2010, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the subsequent interim period through the date of the Audit Committee’s decision not to reappoint Deloitte, there were no “reportable events” within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the subsequent interim period through the date of the Audit Committee’s decision not to reappoint Deloitte, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf has consulted with KPMG regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed, (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, (iii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K, or (iv) any “reportable event” within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company provided Deloitte with a copy of the foregoing disclosure prior to filing it with the SEC and Deloitte has stated in response that it agrees with such disclosure in all respects.

Audit and Non-Audit Fees
Aggregate fees for professional services rendered to us by Deloitte and other member firms of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 are set forth below.

 	  	2011	 	  	2010	 	
Audit Fees	  	$	6,908,317	  	  	$	6,684,975	  	
Audit-Related Fees	  	 	158,659	  	  	 	24,024

Total	  	$	8,558,658	  	  	$	7,648,258	  	
 	  	 	 	 	  	 	 	 	
Audit Fees for the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were for professional services rendered for the audit of our annual financial statements, for the review of our quarterly financial statements, for services in connection with the audits for insurance statutory and regulatory purposes in the various jurisdictions in which we operate and for the provision of consents relating to our filings with the SEC.
Audit-Related Fees for the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 consisted primarily of professional services rendered for financial accounting and reporting consultations.
Tax Fees for the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were for professional services rendered for tax compliance and tax consulting.
All Other Fees for the year ended December 31, 2010 were for professional services rendered for Solvency II/Enterprise Risk Management consulting. There were no fees in the All Other Fees category for the year ended December 31, 2011.
Our Audit Committee approved all of the services and related fees described above. In addition, our Audit Committee considers whether the nature or amount of non-audit services could potentially affect our independent registered public accounting firm’s independence.
Our Audit Committee has adopted a policy to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by its independent auditors. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Audit Committee approved these services by its independent registered public accounting firm on an individual basis as the need arose. The Audit Committee may instead choose to pre-approve a list of specific services and categories of services, including audit, audit-related, and other services, for the upcoming or current year, subject to a specified cost level, although this was not done in 2011. Any service that is not included in the approved list of services must be separately pre-approved by the Audit Committee. In addition, all audit and permissible non-audit services in excess of the pre-approved cost level, whether or not such services are included on the pre-approved list of services, must be separately pre-approved by the Audit Committee chairman.

If the date of next year’s annual general meeting is moved more than 30 days before or after the anniversary date of this year’s annual general meeting, the deadline for inclusion of proposals in our proxy materials is instead a reasonable time before we begin to print and mail our proxy materials. If the January 8, 2013 deadline is missed, a shareholder proposal may still be submitted for consideration at the 2013 annual general meeting of shareholders if it is received no later than March 25, 2013, although it will not be included in the proxy statement. If a shareholder’s proposal is not timely received, then the proxies designated by our Board for the 2013 annual general meeting of shareholders may vote in their discretion on any such proposal the ordinary shares for which they have been appointed proxies without mention of such matter in the proxy materials for such meeting.

Box HM 2267, Windsor Place, 3rd Floor, 18 Queen Street, Hamilton, HM JX, Bermuda (Telephone: (441) 292-3645).

Other Matters
We know of no specific matter to be brought before the meeting that is not referred to in this proxy statement. If any other matter properly comes before the meeting, including any shareholder proposal properly made, the proxy holders will vote the proxies in accordance with their best judgment on such matter.
