Dear Fellow Shareholders:
On behalf of Enstar Group Limited's Board of Directors, I invite you to join us at our 2019 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on Tuesday, June 11, 2019 at 9:00 a.m. Atlantic time. The meeting will be held at our headquarters, Windsor Place, 3rd Floor, 22 Queen Street, in Hamilton, Bermuda, to vote on the matters described in the notice of the Annual General Meeting and the Proxy Statement that follow. We also encourage you to read our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
STRATEGY & PERFORMANCE
Enstar's strategy is to provide long-term value by delivering market-leading insurance solutions through innovation, discipline, financial optimization, and operational excellence. Despite challenges that impacted 2018 financial results, Enstar accomplished several important strategic objectives, including the acquisition of record levels of new legacy business and the completion of several capital raising transactions. Performance in core run-off operations was offset by losses in the StarStone segment and unrealized losses on the fixed income portfolio, which resulted in the first annual consolidated net loss in Enstar's history as a publicly-traded company. Enstar and Stone Point Capital are strengthening StarStone, and Enstar's Board has overseen the addition to StarStone's management team of seasoned industry leaders, who are redefining StarStone's strategy and assessing its opportunities. Given Enstar's significant asset growth during 2018, we exited the year with over $12 billion of cash and investments. Over time, we expect our investments to provide a substantial source of earnings. However, this comes with volatility, as our 2018 results reflect, particularly in the fourth quarter.
Enstar remains a leader in the run-off space and our fundamental business is strong and well-positioned for future growth.
GOVERNANCE & COMPENSATION
In 2018, our Board remained focused on its composition and the mix of skills in the boardroom. Following the addition of several strong directors since 2015, our Nominating & Governance Committee has turned its focus to bringing additional technological and cybersecurity expertise to our Board.
Following significant changes to our compensation programs during recent years, we did not make any structural changes to executive compensation in 2018. Given Enstar's 2018 financial results, however, the threshold financial metrics underlying the annual incentive program were not achieved, and therefore the company financial performance portion of the award did not pay out under the plan formula. Furthermore, although the executives achieved many of the individual objectives underlying the operational portion of the annual incentive program, the Compensation Committee, in consultation with our CEO, decided to significantly reduce the annual incentive award payments to our CEO, President and COO, in recognition of the 2018 results.
SHAREHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
Rick Becker and I continued our shareholder engagement program this year, and we were pleased to speak to a number of our large shareholders and proxy advisory firms. This gave us the opportunity to explain our business and our governance and compensation programs while listening to shareholder views. The percentage of shareholders who accepted engagement meetings declined this year, with a number of firms indicating they already had sufficient information on our compensation and governance programs. Our Board values and regularly considers the feedback received from our shareholders during engagement meetings, and we encourage other shareholders interested in speaking with us to participate.
VOTING
Your support is important, so please vote as soon as possible using the internet, telephone, or, if you received a proxy/voting instruction card, by marking, dating, and signing it, and returning it by mail. I hope to see you at the 2019 Annual General Meeting. As always, thank you for your continued support of Enstar.
Sincerely,

Business Highlights
Enstar is a multi-faceted insurance group that offers innovative capital release solutions and specialty underwriting capabilities through its network of group companies in Bermuda, the United States, the United Kingdom, Continental Europe, Australia, and other international locations. Select highlights of 2018 included:
Significant growth through acquisitions: 
Total assets increased by approximately $3.0 billion, and we acquired $3.2 billion in gross loss reserves during 2018 through completion of eight run-off transactions.
Total assets as of December 31, 2018 increased 21.7% to $16.6 billion, from $13.6 billion in 2017.
Losses and loss adjustment expenses (loss reserves) increased by $2.0 billion due to significant acquisition activity during 2018.

Slight decrease in book value per share:
Impacted by 2018 net losses, fully diluted book value per share was $155.94 as of the end of 2018, compared to $159.19 at the end of 2017.
Since initiating our public listing process in 2006, our fully diluted book value per share has increased by a 14.2% compound annual growth rate.

Run-off performance offset by unrealized investment losses and StarStone losses:
Net losses of $162.4 million for the year were primarily the result of unrealized losses on our fixed income investments and losses in our StarStone segment.
Our Non-life Run-off segment achieved reserve savings of $306.1 million.
StarStone losses driven by large current year loss activity, prior year adverse development and net realized and unrealized losses.

Key Compensation Decisions for 2018 Performance Year:
Our Compensation Committee made the key compensation decisions listed below.
CEO / President / COO Long-term Incentives - No new long-term equity incentive awards were granted to these executive officers following grants made to them in 2017. Reported compensation for these executives therefore does not include a long-term equity incentive component, as awards granted in 2017 were intended to cover a three-year period.
Annual Incentive Awards - The Company financial performance component was not achieved, and this component of the executive officer awards was not paid. Plan awards to the CEO, President and COO were further reduced. The CEO's award was 29% of his base salary, down from 115% in 2017. Awards for the President and COO were reduced to 38% and 36% of base salaries, respectively.
Base Salaries - Base salaries for the CEO, President and COO were not increased during 2018. The CFO received an increase to reflect his promotion from Deputy CFO the prior year, and the U.S. CEO received a 1.5% cost of living adjustment.
Other Long-term Incentives - Granted long-term equity incentive awards consisting of 65% performance share units ("PSUs") and 35% restricted share units ("RSUs") to the CFO and U.S. CEO (due to the timing of the grant dates, only the PSUs are reported as 2018 compensation).

2019 Proxy Statement


Shareholder Engagement:
Results of 2018 Say-on-Pay: At last year's annual general meeting held on June 13, 2018, our shareholders approved the compensation of our executive officers with 89% of the total votes cast in favor of the proposal. While we aim to achieve higher approval results, our Board of Directors considers the results as indicative of a reasonable level of support for our compensation decisions and a recognition of the changes made to our compensation programs in recent years.
Engagement with Large Shareholders: In 2019, we sought feedback from our large shareholders and proxy advisory firms, speaking to the holders of approximately 20% of our outstanding voting shares, as described on page 35. We also spoke to two major proxy advisory firms, and invited conversations with additional shareholders representing 9% ownership of our outstanding ordinary shares, who advised that they did not feel a need to meet with us this year. Directors whose firms represent an additional 23% of our outstanding voting ordinary shares are actively involved in our Board's oversight of compensation and governance matters, and were not included in the engagement program.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

PROXY STATEMENT
2019 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
1.
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 2019 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of the Company to be held on Tuesday, June 11, 2019 at 9:00 a.m. Atlantic time at our Company headquarters, Windsor Place, 3rd Floor, 22 Queen Street, Hamilton, Bermuda, and at any postponement or adjournment thereof. These proxy materials are first being sent or given to shareholders on April 26, 2019. You are invited to attend the Annual General Meeting and are requested to vote on the proposals described in this proxy statement.
2.
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 are included in the Notice. In addition, shareholders may request proxy materials in printed form by mail or electronically by email on an ongoing basis.
We believe that providing access to our proxy materials 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.
3.
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, 2018 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.
4.
What matters are being voted on at the Annual General Meeting?
 Shareholders will vote on the following proposals at the Annual General Meeting:
1.
To elect three Class I Directors nominated by our Board of Directors to hold office until 2022.
2.
To hold an advisory vote to approve executive compensation.
3.
To ratify the appointment of KPMG Audit Limited ("KPMG") as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2019 and to authorize the Board of Directors, acting through the Audit Committee, to approve the fees for the independent registered public accounting firm.
4.
To approve the amendment of our Bye-Laws to remove the voting cutback.
5.
To approve the amendment of our Bye-Laws to remove subsidiary voting.

2.
Instruct us to send future proxy materials to you by email.
Our proxy materials are also available on our website under "Annual General Meeting Materials" at https://investor.enstargroup.com/annual-reports.
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.
 
7.
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 15, 2019 (the "record date") are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual General Meeting. Holders of our non-voting convertible common shares are welcome to attend the Annual General Meeting, but may not vote these shares at the meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof. As used in this proxy statement, the term "ordinary shares" does not include our non-voting convertible common shares. As of the record date, there were 17,970,338 ordinary shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual General Meeting, which number includes 13,726 unvested restricted shares. Except as set forth in our bye-laws, each ordinary share entitles the holder thereof to one vote. In accordance with our current bye-laws, certain shareholders whose shares would otherwise represent 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.
8.
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 also 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.

2019 Proxy Statement


9.
What do I do if I received more than one Notice or proxy card?
If you receive more than one Notice or proxy card because you have multiple accounts, you should provide voting instructions for all accounts referenced to be sure all of your shares are voted.
10.
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:
VIA THE INTERNET
 
You may vote by proxy via the internet by following the instructions provided in the Notice.
 
 
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.
 
 
BY TELEPHONE
 
You may vote by proxy by calling the telephone number found on the internet voting site or on the proxy card, if you received a printed copy of the proxy materials. However, if you plan to vote for subsidiary directors on an individual basis under Proposal No. 7, you can do so only via the internet, by mail, or in person.
 
 
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.
11.
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 10, 2019.
12.
How can I attend the Annual General Meeting?
You may attend the Annual General Meeting if you were an Enstar shareholder of record as of the close of business on April 15, 2019 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.
13.
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 toward the presence of a quorum.
14.
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, 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 applicable law, 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 2019, but not on any other matters being considered at the meeting.

Each of the proposals to be voted on at the meeting is adopted by a majority of votes cast (as indicated in the table above), which means that a proposal must receive more votes "for" than votes "against" to be adopted.
For the director election in Proposal 1, each nominee must receive more votes "for" than votes "against" to have a seat on the Board. For the subsidiary directors in Proposal 7, our Board will cause our corporate representative or proxy to vote the shares we hold in these subsidiaries in the same proportion as the votes received at the meeting. Where we wholly own the subsidiary, each nominee must receive more votes "for" than votes "against" to have a seat on the subsidiary board. Voting thresholds will vary where we own less than 100% of a subsidiary's shares.
Abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered votes for the purposes of any of the above listed proposals, and therefore have no effect on the election of the director nominees or the adoption of any of the other proposals.

POUL A. WINSLOW
Director Since: 2015
Age: 53
Class: III
Enstar Committees: Compensation, Investment, Executive
Canadian resident; Danish citizen
Biographical Information: Poul Winslow is a Senior Managing Director & Global Head of Capital Markets and Factor Investing of the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board ("CPPIB"), a role he has held since 2018. Previously Mr. Winslow served as Head of External Portfolio Management and Head of Thematic Investing for CPPIB. Prior to joining CPPIB in 2009, Mr. Winslow had several senior management and investment roles at Nordea Investment Management in Denmark, Sweden and the United States. He also served as the Chief Investment Officer of Andra AP-Fonden (AP2) in Sweden.
Certain Other Directorships: Mr. Winslow is a director for the Standards Board for Alternative Investments, an international standard-setting body for the alternative investment industry. He previously served as a director of Viking Cruises Ltd., a private company, from 2016 to 2018.
Skills and Qualifications: Investment expertise; compensation and governance experience
Mr. Winslow brings significant investment expertise to our Board gained from his years in senior investment roles, which is highly valuable to our Investment Committee as it oversees our investment strategies and portfolios. His experiences at CPPIB, including exposure to compensation and governance policies, are valuable in his role on our Compensation Committee.

Directorship Arrangements
On June 3, 2015, CPPIB purchased 1,501,211 shares of Enstar from the First Reserve partnerships ("First Reserve"). In connection with the 2015 transaction: (i) First Reserve's shareholder rights terminated and (ii) we and CPPIB entered into a new Shareholder Rights Agreement granting CPPIB contractual shareholder rights that were substantially similar to those rights previously held by First Reserve, including the right to designate one representative to our Board. CPPIB designated Poul Winslow as a director of the Company, and he was appointed in September 2015. The designation right terminates if CPPIB ceases to beneficially own at least 75% of the total number of voting and non-voting shares acquired by it from First Reserve. CPPIB has subsequently acquired additional shares, and its current direct and indirect holdings constitute an economic interest of approximately 17.9%.
Independence of Directors
Our Board currently consists of ten directors, of which eight are non-management directors, and six are independent. Nasdaq listing standards require that a majority of our directors be independent. For a director to be considered independent, the Board must determine that the director meets the definition of independence included in Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5605(a)(2). This requires a determination that the director does not have any direct or indirect material relationship with us either directly or as a partner, owner, or executive officer of an organization that has a relationship with us. Our Board makes these determinations primarily based on a review of the responses of the directors to questions regarding employment and compensation history, family relationships and affiliations, discussions with the directors, and any other known relevant facts and circumstances.
The Board determined that the following six directors are independent as defined by Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5605(a)(2):
Robert Campbell
Rick Becker
Sandra Boss
Hans-Peter Gerhardt
Hitesh Patel
Poul Winslow
For details about certain relationships and transactions among us and our executive officers and directors, see "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions." Our Board, in making its independence determinations, considered the relationships noted in that section with respect to CPPIB (for Mr. Winslow), which has an ownership interest in Wilton Re Ltd. ("Wilton Re"). Although Mr. Winslow is an employee of CPPIB and serves as its designated representative

Enstar Group Limited
11
2019 Proxy Statement


on our Board, he does not have a material direct or indirect interest in the reinsurance we have with Continental Assurance Company, where our reinsurance recoverable existed prior to Wilton Re's acquisition of this company.
In determining Ms. Boss' independence, the Board considered that Ms. Boss serves as an External Member of the Prudential Regulation Committee of the Bank of England ("PRC"), which regulates our UK insurance subsidiaries, including our Lloyd's operations. To avoid any potential conflicts, she has enacted broad recusals with the PRC so that she does not participate in non-life company matters or insurance policy matters (our only PRC-regulated companies are non-life companies). The Board reviewed these matters and is satisfied that the recusals are effective in addressing any potential issues.
Board Leadership Structure
The Company has separated the positions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. Robert Campbell, an independent director, has served as Chairman since 2011. 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 us at this time.
The Board believes Mr. Campbell is 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 our senior management, and to preside at Board and shareholder meetings.
The Board believes that our corporate governance structure appropriately satisfies the need for objectivity, and includes several effective oversight means, such as:
the roles of Chairman and CEO are separated;
the Chairman is an independent director;
a majority of our directors are independent;
before or after regularly scheduled Board meetings, the independent directors meet in executive session to review, among other things, the performance of our executive officers; and
the Audit, Compensation and Nominating and Governance committees of the Board consist solely of independent directors who perform key functions, such as:
 
-
overseeing the integrity and quality of our financial statements and internal controls;
 
-
establishing senior executive compensation;
 
-
reviewing director candidates and making recommendations for director nominations; and
 
-
overseeing our corporate governance structure and practices.
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
The Board has an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, a Nominating and Governance Committee, a Risk Committee, an Investment Committee and an Executive Committee. Each of our committees operates under a written charter that has been approved by the Board. Each Committee reviews its charter annually, and recommends any proposed changes to the Board. Current copies of the charters for all of our 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 the Corporate Secretary at P.O. Box HM 2267, Windsor Place, 3rd Floor, 22 Queen Street, Hamilton, HM JX, Bermuda.
Our Board of Directors met a total of six times during the year ended December 31, 2018.
The primary responsibilities of each of our committees, as well as the current composition of our committees and the number of committee meetings held during 2018, are described below.

Attendance at Meetings

2019 Proxy Statement


In 2018, during the time they were serving, all of the directors 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 2018 annual general meeting of shareholders. In addition, in 2018, our independent directors met each quarter in executive sessions without management.
Board Oversight of Risk Management
Risk assumption is inherent in our business, and appropriately setting risk appetite and executing our business strategies accordingly is key to our successful performance. Effective risk oversight is an important priority for the Board, which has placed strong emphasis on ensuring that we have a robust risk management framework to identify, measure, manage, monitor, and report risks that may affect the achievement of our strategic, operational and financial objectives. The overall objective of our enterprise risk management ("ERM") framework is to support good risk governance while facilitating the achievement of business objectives aligned to risk appetite. Our ERM framework contributes to an effective business strategy, capital management decision making, efficiency in operations and processes, strong financial performance, reliable financial reporting, regulatory compliance, a good reputation with key stakeholders and business continuity planning. Our Board and its committees have risk oversight responsibility and play an active role in overseeing the management of the risks we face.
Risk appetite and tolerance is set by our Board and reviewed annually. The primary objective of our risk appetite framework is to monitor and protect the Group from an unacceptable level of loss, compliance failures and adverse reputational impact. Accountability for the implementation, monitoring and oversight of risk appetite is assigned to individual corporate executives and monitored and maintained by the Risk Management function. Risk tolerance levels are monitored and deviations from pre-established levels are reported in order to facilitate responsive action.
While all of the Board's committees play a role in risk management, the Risk Committee, reporting to the full Board, oversees our enterprise risk. Our ERM governance structure is supported by a management risk committee (with regional sub-committees for our non-life run off operations) that reports to our Board's Risk Committee. Each of our active underwriting businesses (StarStone and Atrium) has a dedicated underwriting and risk committee that monitors underwriting and other risk-taking activities to assure alignment with subsidiary board-approved risk appetites (which are aligned to the Company's risk appetite). These committees also provide regular reporting to the Risk Committee. In addition, the Company's Chief Risk Officer attends Board, Risk Committee, Audit Committee, and Investment Committee meetings.
Our ERM framework consists of numerous processes and controls that have been designed by management and implemented by employees across our organization.
The Board and its committees receive information from management relating to performance against risk appetite and strategy and regularly review information regarding, among other things, acquisitions, active underwriting, loss reserves, credit, liquidity and capital, investments, operations, and information security, and the risks associated with each. Our Risk Committee assists the Board in overseeing the integrity and effectiveness of our ERM framework, reviewing and evaluating the risks to which we are exposed as well as monitoring and overseeing the guidelines and policies that govern the processes by which we identify, assess and manage our exposure to risk.
Our Risk Committee is active in continuing to drive enhancements to our ERM reporting and risk appetite framework. During 2018, the Risk Committee led the review of our capacity to absorb loss and the enhancement of a unified risk appetite framework and investment risk framework, conducted deep dive discussions on specific areas of risk including those within our active underwriting and operational risk areas and continued to consider developments to our risk governance and reporting. The Risk Committee regularly meets with members of management, including members of our management risk committee and capital management committee, to evaluate the material risks we face, including the leaders of our investments, underwriting, capital management, actuarial, tax, information technology and regulatory/compliance areas.
For more information on our ERM framework and risk profile, refer to "Item. 1 Business - Enterprise Risk Management" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Director Nominations, Qualifications and Recommendations
When identifying and evaluating director nominees, our Nominating and Governance Committee considers the nominees’ personal and professional integrity, judgment, ability to represent the interests of the shareholders, and knowledge regarding insurance, reinsurance and investment matters, as well as other factors discussed below. The Nominating and Governance Committee has primarily identified candidates through its periodic solicitation of recommendations from members of the Board and individuals known to the Board, use of third-party search firms retained by the Nominating and Governance Committee, and shareholders. However, in certain private placement or acquisition-related transactions, parties have obtained the right to designate a board representative.
No new directors were added in 2018. The most recent addition to the Board was Jie Liu, Partner of Hillhouse Capital, who was appointed in February 2017 to fill the vacancy created when the director representative from Goldman Sachs resigned in late 2016 in connection with the sale of substantially all of its fund's shares in Enstar.
Each year, the Board and each committee conduct performance evaluations, which include consideration of whether we have the collective skill sets necessary to effectively oversee the Company's affairs. If the Board identifies areas where additional expertise would enhance the composition of the Board, the Nominating and Governance Committee will lead our efforts to identify suitable candidates with such expertise. The Nominating and Governance Committee may use third-party search firms and consider suggestions from Board members familiar with potential candidates who may be available in the market. Once a candidate is identified, the Nominating and Governance Committee undertakes an evaluation process.
The evaluation of new director candidates involves several steps, not necessarily taken in any particular order. The Nominating and Governance Committee reviews and verifies the candidate's qualifications and background information and evaluates the candidate's attributes relative to the identified needs of the Board. If the Nominating and Governance Committee wishes to pursue a candidate further, it arranges candidate interviews with committee members and other directors. After assessing the feedback, the Nominating and Governance Committee presents each selected candidate to the Board for consideration.
For incumbent directors, the Nominating and Governance Committee reviews each director’s overall service to the Company during the director’s term, including the director’s level of participation and quality of performance. The Nominating and Governance Committee considered and nominated the candidates proposed for election as directors at the Annual General Meeting, with the Board unanimously agreeing on the nominees.
While the Board is currently satisfied with the collective skill set of the directors, the directors have noted that additional information technology experience would enhance the Board's oversight and involvement in the Company's strategic information technology initiatives and oversight of cybersecurity risk, especially in light of the recent focus on technology and data-driven changes in the insurance industry. Accordingly, the Board has been actively recruiting to find a director with this expertise within our industry and with experience relevant to our business, and seeks to add such a director in the future.
Diversity
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 our needs and the interests of our shareholders. In February 2019, the Board adopted a formal diversity policy applicable to the selection of directors. The Board considers diversity to include gender, ethnicity, nationality, age, sexual orientation, geographic background, and other personal characteristics. The Board's diversity policy requires the Nominating and Governance to actively consider diversity in its regular assessments of board composition and in its efforts to identify potential director candidates, including specifically instructing any director search firm (if engaged) to include diverse candidates in its search.
Director Qualifications
Our Board has identified several categories of primary skills and/or experience that we look for in our directors. The Board reviews these categories from time to time, alongside its consideration of whether there are new areas that would benefit it in executing its oversight duties. These categories are set forth and defined below under the heading, "Board Skills Summary."
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 our insurance businesses.

strategy - challenging management on setting and/or adjusting business strategies, including acquisitions, divestitures, operations, and investments
corporate governance - including understanding, developing, and championing governance procedures and protections that drive Board and management accountability and protection of shareholder interests
regulatory and government - a deep understanding of the highly regulated environment in which we operate, and the ever-changing regulations and requirements that govern our operations and shape our future strategies
information technology and cybersecurity - expertise related to information technology and data security and a deep current understanding of technology-driven innovation and challenges in our industry and business (our Board currently relies on engagement with IT senior management and third-party advisors, as needed, for this skill set as it seeks new director candidates with this skill)

The non-employee director fee and the Chairman of the Board fee are each payable half in cash and half in restricted ordinary shares subject to a one-year vesting period.
Deferred Compensation Plan
The Amended and Restated 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 defer receipt of all or a portion of his or her cash or equity compensation until retirement or termination and (ii) to receive all or a portion of his or her cash compensation for services as a director in the form of our ordinary shares instead of cash.
Non-employee directors electing to defer compensation have such compensation converted into share units payable as a lump sum distribution after the director leaves the Board. The lump sum share unit distribution is made in the form of ordinary shares, with fractional shares paid in cash. 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. A director's participation in the Deferred Compensation Plan does not affect the vesting schedule of the equity portion of the retainer fees described above.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Related Person Transaction Procedures
From time to time, we have participated in transactions in which one or more of our directors, executive officers or large shareholders has an interest. These transactions, called related-party transactions, are described below. All related party transactions require the approval of our Audit Committee (comprised entirely of independent directors), which reviews each transaction for fairness, business purpose, and reasonableness. Each transaction involving the Company and an affiliate entered into during 2018 was approved by our Audit Committee. Investment transactions with related parties are also subject to the review and approval of our Investment Committee.
In addition, our Board has adopted a Code of Conduct, which states that our directors, officers and employees must avoid engaging in any activity that might create a conflict of interest or a perception of a conflict of interest. The Code of Conduct requires these individuals to raise any proposed or actual transaction that they believe may create a conflict of interest for Audit Committee consideration and review. In any situation where an Audit Committee member could be perceived as having a potential conflict of interest, that member is expected to recuse himself from the matter, and the non-interested members of the Audit Committee review the transaction.
On an annual basis, each director and executive officer completes a Directors’ and Officers’ Questionnaire that requires disclosure of any transactions with the Company in which he or she, or any member of his or her immediate family, has a direct or indirect material interest. A summary of responses from the questionnaires is reported to the Audit Committee.

On November 6, 2013, we appointed James D. Carey to our Board of Directors. Mr. Carey is the sole member of an entity that is one of four general partners of the entities serving as general partners for the Trident funds, is a member of the investment committees of such general partners, and is a member and senior principal of Stone Point, the manager of the Trident funds.
Prior to Trident’s acquisition of our ordinary shares in 2012, we invested in SKY Harbor Global Funds ("SKY Harbor"), which is managed by companies in which the Trident funds have indirect ownership interests. Additional allocations to this investment were approved by our Audit and Investment Committees and made in subsequent years. As of December 31, 2018, we had made aggregate investments of $232.1 million in SKY Harbor, which had an aggregate fair value of approximately $255.7 million. The manager of SKY Harbor charges certain fees to the funds it manages. These fees are deducted within the net asset value of the fund and totaled approximately $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2018.

We are treated no less favorably than similarly situated investors in the funds. The Trident VI funds and the Trident VII Fund and its affiliates collectively own an approximate 45% interest in Alliant Insurance Services, an insurance brokerage firm. Alliant Insurance Services has provided brokerage services to our StarStone companies in the ordinary course of business and receives commission fees for business produced on an arm's-length basis.
During 2014, we invested in Eagle Point Credit Fund L.P., which is managed by Eagle Point Credit Management LLC, a company indirectly owned, in part, by Trident VI Parallel Fund (the "EP Manager").

Sound Point Capital charges certain fees to the funds it manages, which are deducted from the net asset value of the funds and totaled approximately $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2018.

The fair value of these investments was $13.4 million as of December 31, 2018. During 2016, we opened a separate account managed by Sound Point Capital, with a fair value of $1.1 million as of December 31, 2018, with respect to which we did not incur any fees for the year.
Fees charged pursuant to investments affiliated with entities owned by a Trident fund or Sound Point Capital were on an arm's-length basis.
In addition, we have entered into certain agreements with Trident with respect to Trident’s co-investments in the Atrium, Arden, and StarStone acquisitions.

We did not exercise our right to redeem Trident's equity interest in Atrium/Arden during the 90 days following September 6, 2018. Pursuant to the terms of the shareholders’ agreements, Mr. Carey serves as a Trident representative on the boards of the holding companies, including North Bay Holdings Limited ("North Bay"), established in connection with the Atrium/Arden and StarStone co-investment transactions. Trident also has a second representative on these boards who is a Stone Point employee.
On December 26, 2018, the shareholders of North Bay completed a transaction to provide capital support to StarStone in the form of a contribution to its contributed surplus account and a loss portfolio transfer primarily related to discontinuing lines of business. To fund the transaction, the North Bay shareholders contributed an aggregate amount of $135.0 million to North Bay in proportion to their ownership interests. Trident’s proportionate contribution of $53.1 million was temporarily funded by North Bay and was reimbursed in the first quarter of 2019, subject to the terms and conditions of the reimbursement agreement executed by the parties.

We incurred approximately $0.3 million in fees from our engagement of Amherst Pierpont during the year ended December 31, 2018.
From time to time, certain of our directors and executive officers have made personal commitments and investments in entities that are affiliates of or otherwise related to funds managed by Stone Point or Sound Point Capital, including some of the entities listed above.
Transactions with CPPIB
CPPIB owns approximately 8.4% of our voting ordinary shares and additional non-voting shares that, together with its voting ordinary shares held indirectly, represented an economic interest of approximately 17.9% as of March 31, 2019. Poul Winslow, of CPPIB, was appointed to our Board on September 29, 2015 in connection with CPPIB's shareholder rights agreement with us. Approximately 4.1% of our voting ordinary shares are held indirectly by CPPIB through CPPIB LP. CPPIB is the sole limited partner of CPPIB LP. CPPIB Trust is the general partner of CPPIB LP, and Mr. Winslow is a trustee of CPPIB Trust. By virtue of his role as a trustee of CPPIB Trust, in its capacity as general partner of CPPIB LP, Mr. Winslow has shared voting and shared dispositive power over the shares held by CPPIB LP, but has no pecuniary interest in the shares.
We have a pre-existing reinsurance recoverable carried on our balance sheet at $6.8 million as of December 31, 2018 from Continental Assurance Company, a company acquired by Wilton Re Ltd. ("Wilton Re") after the reinsurance recoverable was established. CPPIB, together with management of Wilton Re, owns 100% of the common stock of Wilton Re. No payments were made in respect of this reinsurance recoverable during the year ended December 31, 2018.
KaylaRe
On December 15, 2016, KaylaRe Holdings Ltd. ("KaylaRe") completed an initial capital raise of $620.0 million. We originally owned approximately 48.2% of KaylaRe's common shares and recorded our investment in KaylaRe using the equity method basis of accounting. On May 14, 2018, we completed a transaction to acquire all of the outstanding shares and warrants of KaylaRe, following the receipt of all required regulatory approvals. In consideration for the acquired shares and warrants of KaylaRe, we issued an aggregate of 2,007,017 ordinary shares, comprising 1,501,778 voting ordinary shares and 505,239 Series E non-voting ordinary shares to the shareholders of KaylaRe as follows: (i) 1,204,353 voting ordinary shares and 505,239 Series E Shares to a fund managed by Hillhouse Capital Management, Ltd. (together with its affiliates, “Hillhouse Capital”); (ii) 285,986 voting ordinary shares to Trident; and (iii) 11,439 voting ordinary shares to a minority shareholder. In addition, the Shareholders Agreement between Enstar and the other KaylaRe shareholders was effectively terminated. Effective May 14, 2018, we consolidated KaylaRe into our consolidated financial statements. Our investment in the common shares and warrants of KaylaRe was carried at $320.1 million as at May 14, 2018, and the shares we issued to acquire the 51.8% of KaylaRe that we did not already own were valued at $414.8 million as of such date.
Our subsidiary, Enstar Limited, acts as insurance and reinsurance manager to KaylaRe's subsidiary, KaylaRe Ltd., for which it receives fee income. Affiliates of Enstar have also entered into various reinsurance agreements with KaylaRe Ltd. We also provide administrative services to KaylaRe and KaylaRe Ltd.
Through a Quota Share Agreement dated December 15, 2016 (the "KaylaRe-StarStone QS"), several of our StarStone affiliates entered into a Quota Share Treaty with KaylaRe Ltd. pursuant to which KaylaRe Ltd. reinsures 35% of all business written by these StarStone affiliates for risks attaching from January 1, 2016, net of the StarStone affiliates’ external reinsurance programs. The reinsurance of StarStone's U.S. and U.K. affiliates was non-renewed as of January 1, 2018 and January 1, 2019, respectively.
In addition, Fitzwilliam Insurance Limited ("Fitzwilliam"), one of our non-life run-off subsidiaries, ceded $177.2 million of loss reserves to KaylaRe Ltd. in 2016, on a funds held basis. Under the terms of this reinsurance agreement, Fitzwilliam is entitled to receive a profit commission calculated with reference to reserve savings made during the term of this agreement. Our Non-life Run-off subsidiaries did not cede any new business to KaylaRe Ltd. during the year ended December 31, 2018. Our consolidated statement of earnings for the year ended December 31, 2018 included total net loss of $0.1 million related to transactions between us and KaylaRe and KaylaRe Ltd. up until May 14, 2018, the date of acquisition.

Hillhouse Capital
Investment funds managed by Hillhouse Capital collectively own approximately 9.7% of Enstar’s voting ordinary shares. These funds also own non-voting ordinary shares and warrants to purchase additional non-voting ordinary shares, which together with their voting ordinary shares, represent an approximate 17.0% economic interest in Enstar. In February 2017, Jie Liu, a Partner of Hillhouse Capital, was appointed to our Board. In connection with Hillhouse Capital's investment in KaylaRe, Mr. Liu also served as a director of KaylaRe until resigning from that board in connection with our acquisition of KaylaRe.
As of December 31, 2018, our equity method investee, Enhanzed Reinsurance Ltd. ("Enhanzed Re") had investments in a fund managed by Hillhouse Capital with a fair value of $75.2 million. Enhanzed Re is a joint venture between us, Allianz SE and Hillhouse Capital.
KaylaRe has investments in a fund managed by Hillhouse Capital. On May 14, 2018, KaylaRe was acquired as described above, at which point KaylaRe was consolidated and KaylaRe's investment in Hillhouse InRe Fund, L.P. ("InRe Fund") was recorded within other investments on our consolidated balance sheet. 
As of December 31, 2018, we had investments in funds managed by Hillhouse Capital, including the InRe Fund, with a fair value of $845.1 million. Hillhouse Capital charges certain fees to the funds it manages. These fees are deducted within the net asset value of the respective funds and totaled approximately $8.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2018.
From time to time, certain of our directors and executive officers have made personal commitments and investments in entities that are affiliates of or otherwise related to funds managed by Hillhouse Capital.
AmTrust
In November 2018, pursuant to a Subscription Agreement with Evergreen Parent L.P. ("Evergreen"), K-Z Evergreen, LLC and Trident Pine Acquisition LP ("Trident Pine"), we purchased equity in Evergreen in the aggregate amount of $200.0 million. Evergreen is an entity formed by private equity funds managed by Stone Point and the Karfunkel-Zyskind family that acquired the approximately 45% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of AmTrust Financial Services, Inc. ("AmTrust") that the Karfunkel-Zyskind family and certain of its affiliates and related parties did not already own or control. The equity interest was in the form of three separate classes of equity securities issued at the same price and in the same proportion as the equity interest purchased by Trident Pine. Following the closing of the transaction, we own approximately 7.5% of the equity interest in Evergreen and Trident Pine owns approximately 21.8%. Evergreen owns all of the equity interest in AmTrust. In addition, upon the successful closing of the transaction we received a fee of $3.5 million, half of which was paid upon closing and the other half of which will be paid on the first anniversary of the closing.
On February 14, 2019, we entered into four RITC transactions with Syndicates 1206, 1861, 2526 and 5820, managed by AmTrust Syndicates Limited, an affiliate of AmTrust, under which we reinsured to close the 2016 and prior underwriting years. In these transactions, we assumed aggregate net reinsurance reserves of approximately £650.0 million (approximately $830.0 million) for cash consideration approximately equal to the net amount of reserves assumed.
Citco
In June 2018, our subsidiary made a $50.0 million indirect investment in the shares of Citco III Limited ("Citco"), a fund administrator with global operations. Pursuant to an investment agreement and in consideration for participation therein, a related party of Hillhouse Capital provided investment support to our subsidiary. As of December 31, 2018, our indirect investment in the shares of Citco, carried in equity method investments on our consolidated balance sheet, had a fair value of $50.8 million. In a private transaction that preceded our co-investment opportunity, certain Citco shareholders, including Trident, agreed to sell all or a portion of their interests in Citco. As of December 31, 2018, Trident owned an approximate 3.4% interest in Citco.
Enhanzed Re

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Executive Summary
Company Performance
2018 was a year of many accomplishments for Enstar, mixed with several challenges. The Company posted a net loss of $162.4 million. This was the first reported annual net loss in our history, and was primarily driven by unrealized losses on our fixed income investments and equities and other investments, as well as losses in our StarStone segment. These losses caused Enstar to miss threshold levels of financial objectives achievement within the Annual Incentive Plan.
Despite the challenges faced in 2018, the fundamentals of our business remain strong. Our core non-life run-off segment had a very successful year in terms of reductions in net claims reserves, and we acquired more new run-off business in 2018 than in any prior year. The key elements of our 2018 reported results and financial position included:
A decrease of 2.2% in basic book value per share, compared to a peer median decrease of 3.8% (a compound annual growth rate of 14.2% since 2006, immediately prior to our public listing);
Net unrealized losses on fixed income investments of $211.4 million, reflected with the accounting classification we use for these securities;1
Net unrealized losses on equities and other investments of $173.8 million, most of which were experienced in the fourth quarter during a period of heightened market volatility;
Total gross reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses increased 27.2% to $9.4 billion (an increase of 108.7% since 2014);
Completion of eight run-off transactions, adding $3.2 billion of gross loss reserves, and several new significant minority investments;
Total assets increased 21.7% to $16.6 billion (an increase of 66.6% since 2014);
Reserve savings of $306.1 million ("net incurred losses & LAE" on our Non-life Run-off GAAP statement of net earnings) from our Non-life Run-off segment; and
Completion of two public offerings of preferred shares, adding a combined $510 million in capital.
1 Many insurance companies predominantly use available-for-sale accounting, where unrealized amounts are recorded directly to shareholders’ equity and therefore do not impact earnings. Unrealized amounts would only become realizable in the event of a sale of the specific securities prior to maturity or a credit default. Because most of our investments are held as "trading" for accounting purposes, the unrealized losses we experienced in 2018 on such investments negatively impacted our reported earnings.

2019 Proxy Statement


The graphs below show that we have outperformed the peer median in growth in basic book value per common share (compounded annually) during the three- and one-year periods ended December 31, 2018. However, we fell below the median of our peer group for GAAP return on equity due to the losses described above. Our Board monitors our performance versus our industry peers for background information purposes only, and relative performance metrics are not built into our incentive programs because of the unique nature of our business (as described in "- Peer Group" below).

Management Team
We are a growth 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. During 2018, our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, and three most highly compensated executive officers were:
Dominic Silvester - Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and co-founder;
Guy Bowker - Chief Financial Officer ("CFO");
Paul O'Shea - President and co-founder;
Orla Gregory - Chief Operating Officer ("COO");
Paul Brockman - CEO, Enstar (US), Inc. ("U.S. CEO");
Key Compensation Decisions for 2018 Performance Year
After considering our financial, operational, and strategic performance, the Compensation Committee made the following key compensation decisions:
CEO / President / COO Long-term Incentives - No new long-term equity incentive awards were granted to Messrs. Silvester and O'Shea and Ms. Gregory following grants made to them in 2017. Reported compensation for these executives therefore does not include a long-term equity incentive component, as awards granted in 2017 were intended to cover a three-year period.
Annual Incentive Awards - The Company financial performance component was not achieved, and this portion of the executive officer awards was not paid. Plan awards to Messrs. Silvester and O'Shea and Ms. Gregory were further reduced. Mr. Silvester's award was 29% of his base salary, down from 115% in 2017. Awards for Mr. O'Shea and Ms. Gregory were similarly reduced to 38% and 36% of base salaries, respectively.
Base Salaries - Base salaries for Messrs. Silvester and O'Shea and Ms. Gregory were not increased during 2018. Mr. Bowker received an increase to reflect his promotion from Deputy CFO the prior year, and Mr. Brockman received a 1.5% cost of living adjustment.

Enstar Group Limited

2019 Proxy Statement


Other Long-term Incentives - Granted long-term equity incentive awards consisting of 65% performance share units ("PSUs") and 35% restricted share units ("RSUs") to the CFO and U.S. CEO (due to the timing of the grant dates, only the PSUs are reported as 2018 compensation).
Results of Shareholder Vote on Compensation; Shareholder Engagement
At last year's annual general meeting held on June 13, 2018, our shareholders approved the compensation of our executive officers with 89% of the total votes cast in favor of the proposal. While we seek to achieve higher approval results, our Board of Directors considers the results as indicative of a reasonable level of support for our compensation decisions and a recognition of our continued progress on improving our compensation programs. The Board emphasized that meaningful shareholder engagement should continue as it helps understand the issues around our compensation and governance that are important to our shareholders.
Shareholder Engagement
The engagement program was led by two of our independent directors, Messrs. Campbell (Chairman of the Board; member of the Compensation Committee) and Becker (Chairman of the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Governance Committee). We spoke with shareholders representing approximately 20% of our outstanding voting ordinary shares, as well as with two major proxy advisory firms, and invited conversations with additional shareholders representing 9% ownership of our outstanding ordinary shares, who advised that they did not feel a need to meet with us this year. Directors whose firms represent an additional 23% of our outstanding voting ordinary shares are actively involved in our Board's oversight of compensation and governance matters, and were not included in the engagement program. We have taken, and continue to take, the feedback we receive from our shareholders and advisory firms into account in making compensation decisions and designing future compensation programs.

Enstar Group Limited

2019 Proxy Statement


What We Heard
What We Did
Establish rigorous performance objectives tied to defined pay-out levels for Annual Incentive Plan Awards, rather than relying on full discretion
The 2018 award cycle under the new Annual Incentive Plan built upon the changes made for 2016, when, in response to shareholder feedback, the Compensation Committee moved away from our previous fully discretionary plan and adopted performance objectives based on a combination of financial and operational goals, corresponding to threshold, target, and maximum annual incentive award payments.
Use of discretion under our Annual Incentive Plan should be limited and, where used, explained thoroughly
The Compensation Committee's authority to make an adjustment on the Annual Incentive Plan payout was used in 2018 to make downward adjustments for the CEO, President and COO and to make upward adjustments for the CFO and U.S. CEO. The Compensation Committee believes this flexibility is necessary for our business, but takes into consideration shareholder perspective that it should be used in limited circumstances. We have also disclosed the rationale for such adjustments in "-Annual Incentive Compensation-Committee Adjustment Amount."
Individual performance objectives carry meaningful weight under our Annual Incentive Plan and may be challenging for shareholders to assess
We understand that our shareholders are more accustomed to a smaller allocation to individual performance objectives than the 50% that our Operational Performance Objectives comprise and have included detailed disclosure on why we use this structure, as well as on how the Compensation Committee made its 2018 assessments.
Develop long-term incentive ("LTI") awards that vest over at least a three-year period and are weighted at least two-thirds to performance-based awards
We discontinued the use of SARs, which our shareholders expressed in prior years were not sufficiently performance-based. We developed a PSU and RSU program and made executive awards in 2017 and continued that program in 2018. The PSUs "cliff vest" following a three-year performance period, subject to performance conditions, and comprise 75% of the LTI award for our CEO, President and COO. RSUs comprise 25% of the awards and vest pro-rata over three years. For our CFO and US CEO, the split between PSUs and RSUs is 65% to 35%, respectively.
Where possible, avoid using the same metric in Annual and LTI awards
We clarified that although book value per share is one of the performance metrics used in our Annual Incentive Plan award program, this is an annual measure, as distinguished from the three-year growth in book value per share metric used in our LTI awards. Nonetheless, the Compensation Committee values this input and will continue to consider it in designing future awards.
Disclose LTI metrics for in-process awards unless competitively harmful
We have disclosed the metrics for our material executive PSU awards below under "-Long-Term Compensation."
Focus on board composition, director nomination processes and diversity
In response to shareholder comments, we have enhanced our disclosure of the mix of skills on our Board. We have also included a Board skills matrix to give shareholders a view of our board composition. Those we spoke with were also pleased to hear that we adopted a Board Diversity Policy in early 2019 as discussed above in "Corporate Governance - Director Nominations, Qualifications and Recommendations."
Objectives of our Executive Compensation Program
Our Compensation Committee is responsible for establishing the philosophy and objectives of our compensation program, designing and administering the various elements of our compensation program, and assessing the performance of our executive officers and the effectiveness of our compensation program in achieving their objectives.
We are a growth 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:
Incentivize performance consistent with clearly defined corporate objectives
Align our executives’ long-term interests with those of our shareholders
Fairly compensate our executives
Retain and attract qualified executives who are able to contribute to our long-term success
We have specifically identified growing our net book value per share as our primary corporate objective over the long term. 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: (i) successfully completing new acquisitions; (ii) effectively managing companies and portfolios

Enstar Group Limited
36
2019 Proxy Statement


of business that we have acquired; (iii) executing our active underwriting strategies; and (iv) prudently managing our investments and capital.
We use additional financial metrics in our annual incentive compensation program, which included net earnings, growth in fully diluted book value per share, and return on equity. We also incorporated operational performance objectives similarly designed to drive success in these measures and to achieve long-term growth and success.
Roles of Executive Officers
The Compensation Committee makes compensation determinations for all of our executive officers. As part of the determination process, Mr. Silvester, our CEO, assesses our 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 adjustments and annual incentive awards for each executive officer, taking into consideration each executive's achievement of his or her operational performance objectives. He also makes recommendations regarding the overall size of the executive/employee bonus pool for our 2016-2018 Annual Incentive Program.
The Compensation Committee discusses all recommendations with Mr. Silvester and then meets in executive session without Mr. Silvester present to evaluate his recommendations, review the performance of all of the executive officers, discuss CEO compensation, and make final compensation decisions.
Ms. Gregory, our COO, attends portions of the meetings of our Compensation Committee from time to time to provide information relating to our financial results and plans, performance assessments of our executive officers, and other personnel-related data.

Principal Elements of Executive Compensation
Our executive compensation program currently consists of three principal elements: base salaries, annual incentive compensation and long-term incentive compensation. Executives also receive certain other benefits, including those pursuant to their employment agreements. The table below describes the elements of our executive compensation as well as the other components of our program, each of which is described in more detail later in this proxy statement.
Principal Element  
Description
Key Features
Base Salary
Provides the fixed portion of an executive’s compensation that reflects scope of skills, experience and performance
•  Provides a base component of total compensation
•  Established largely based on scope of responsibilities, market conditions, and individual and Company factors
Annual Incentive Compensation
Provides "at risk" pay that reflects annual Company performance and individual performance
•  Aligns executive and shareholder interests
•  Designed to reward performance consistent with financial and individual operational performance objectives
•  2018 was our third year using defined performance objectives, following our previous use of a fully discretionary program
Long-Term Incentive ("LTI") Compensation
Includes PSUs that "cliff vest" following a three-year performance period subject to the Company's achievement of financial performance metrics selected by the Compensation Committee. RSUs vest in three equal annual installments beginning on the one-year anniversary of the grant date
•  Aligns executive and shareholder interests
•  Drives long-term performance and promotes retention
•  Shareholder dilution issues are considered when making equity awards
•  PSUs do not vest unless performance measurements are met and can vest from 50% to 150% depending on the level of achievement
•  The top three executives received LTI awards in 2017 comprising 75% PSUs and 25% RSUs; other executives receive annual awards comprising 65% PSUs and 35% RSUs
Other Benefits and Perquisites
Reflects the Bermuda location of our corporate headquarters, as well as specific local market and competitive practices such as retirement benefits, Bermudian payroll and social insurance tax contributions
•  Provides benefits consistent with certain local market practices in our Bermuda location in order to remain competitive in the marketplace for industry talent
•  Promotes retention of executive leadership team
Employment Agreements
Provides certain protections for executives and their families in the event of death or long-term disability, termination, or change in control
Change in control contractual benefits are payable only in a "double trigger" situation where employment is terminated following a change of control
•  Provides Enstar with protections such as restrictive covenants (non-competition, non-solicitation, confidentiality, etc.)
•  Promotes retention over a multi-year term and a sense of security among the leadership team
•  Consistent with competitive conditions and legal requirements in Bermuda and the U.K.
Compensation Allocations among Elements
For 2018, consistent with historic practices, we did not have a pre-established policy or target for the allocation of the components of our program, and the Compensation Committee considers all compensation components in total when evaluating and making decisions with respect to each individual component. Although it does not mandate a specific allocation among the components of pay, the Compensation Committee believes that a meaningful portion of each executive’s total compensation should be "at risk" and performance-based.
Performance-based compensation during 2018 reported in the Summary Compensation Table constituted 22% of our CEO's total compensation because Mr. Silvester was not granted a long term incentive award during 2018 following the 2017 grant intended to cover a three-year period. Our CEO's annual incentive award was significantly lower than in previous years due to the impact of the Company's 2018 financial results; if "target" levels of performance had been achieved, his annual incentive award would have constituted 52% of total reported compensation.
For our other executive officers, the percentages of performance-based compensation during 2018 reported in the Summary Compensation Table was impacted by Mr. O'Shea and Ms. Gregory not being granted a long term incentive award during 2018 following the 2017 grant, and lower bonuses for these executives. Messrs. Bowker and Brockman's reported compensation includes PSUs granted in January 2018. The percentage of performance-based compensation for 2018 for our other executive officers was as follows: (i) Paul O'Shea - 27% (target: 60%); (ii) Orla

Enstar Group Limited
38
2019 Proxy Statement


Gregory - 27% (target: 59%); (iii) Guy Bowker - 61% (equivalent to target); and (iv) Paul Brockman - 57% (target, including his 2018 PSU award: 63%).
Role of Compensation Consultants
The Compensation Committee has the authority under its charter to retain compensation consultants and outside legal counsel or other advisors and, before selecting a consultant or advisor, must consider its independence. During 2018, the Compensation Committee engaged McLagan, an Aon Hewitt Company ("McLagan"), to provide analysis regarding annual incentive plan performance objectives for our executive officers in comparison to our peer group. McLagan reported directly to the Compensation Committee and has no personal or business relationship with any Committee member or member of Company management. McLagan provides no other services to the Company. McLagan's fees for its services were $19,000. McLagan is a division of Aon plc ("Aon"), the parent company of subsidiaries that provide insurance brokerage-related services to our subsidiaries and affiliates unrelated to the compensation consulting services. Fees for these Aon services were approximately $2 million for the year, and constituted a de minimis portion of Aon's 2018 revenue (less than 0.018%).
The Compensation Committee assessed the independence of McLagan in light of applicable SEC and Nasdaq rules and reviewed responses from the consultant addressing factors related to its independence. Following this review, the Compensation Committee concluded that the firm was independent and that their advisory services did not raise any conflicts of interest.
Peer Group
In making compensatory decisions with respect to the 2018 performance year, including assessing whether we were meeting our goal of providing competitive compensation, the Compensation Committee reviewed publicly available executive officer compensation information described in the periodic filings of a group of other publicly traded companies. The Compensation Committee reviews our peer group annually. During 2018, the Compensation Committee added Arch Capital Group Ltd. and Everest Re Group Ltd. to our peer group following the loss of several peers to merger activity in the industry and several other peers falling below our size criteria.
The Compensation Committee generally seeks to include in our peer group companies that fall approximately within our size guidelines and include comparable aspects of our business (e.g., acquisitive business models, active specialty underwriters, and a property and casualty insurer with run-off business). However, establishing a reliable peer group presents challenges for Enstar because our primary business is acquiring and operating companies and portfolios in run-off, whereas most in our industry focus primarily on writing new (re)insurance business. Run-off is a niche within the insurance industry, fragmented with only a handful of smaller specialist managers, and divisions within significantly larger insurance franchises. Our run-off businesses generate the substantial share of our earnings. Certain aspects of our business also resemble that of private equity firms, but funds with publicly available data are typically size mismatches for Enstar. We have not identified another company that lists Enstar as its peer.
While pay at our peer companies is generally relevant to provide a frame of reference to the Compensation Committee in determining executive compensation, the Compensation Committee reviewed the compensation paid by these companies for informational and overall comparison purposes only. We did not compensate our executives to align with a specific benchmark or target percentile or precise position within our peer group. Instead, we sought only to be generally competitive relative to our peers with the compensation we offer our executives. Given the significant differences between us and our most similar peers relating to business, operations, and executive team structure, we believe that formulaic benchmarking against our peer group or other companies to set 2018 compensation would not have provided meaningful guidance, although we will continue to evaluate our methodologies and views in future years.
The following companies were reviewed to provide an overall backdrop to the Compensation Committee’s decisions:

The peer group selection process focused on three criteria, which was consistent with prior years: (i) industry; (ii) geography (with a significant preference for the use of Bermuda companies); and (iii) size, with reference to: (A) total shareholders’ equity within approximately 0.5 to 2.5 times of our total shareholders’ equity and (B) total assets within approximately 0.5 to 2.5 times of total assets.
Industry. Given the lack of companies directly comparable to Enstar, we have designed our peer group around companies primarily focused on property and casualty (re)insurance, which are the companies against which we compete for talent. Where possible, we look for aspects of other companies that reflect elements similar to operations or strategies we have.
Geography. Publicly traded Bermuda companies (or publicly traded companies domiciled elsewhere with prominent Bermuda operations) are most relevant because these are the companies against which Enstar generally competes for talent, and the Compensation Committee believes market conditions across other Bermuda-based companies are largely what drives executives’ views as to whether they are compensated fairly and competitively. In recent years, we added several companies domiciled in the United States (Alleghany Corporation, Hanover Insurance Group, and W.R. Berkley) to our peer group for diversification given our significant U.S. presence.
Size. Run-off profits are derived primarily from reserve releases rather than revenue, making peer comparison on the basis of revenue a much less relevant metric for us. The Compensation Committee designed our peer group targeting companies with approximately 0.5 to 2.5 times our shareholder equity or total assets (measured using financial data available at the time of consideration), which are metrics we find most relevant for purposes of comparison. The Compensation Committee also considers market capitalization in selecting a peer group.
Base Salaries
We set the base salaries of our CEO and our other executive officers as one element of total compensation, based on the scope of the executives’ responsibilities, taking into account the Compensation Committee's view of competitive market total compensation figures for similar executive officer positions based on publicly available information. Our goal is to provide base salary amounts at 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. Given the competitive market for highly qualified employees in our industry and our geographic location, we believe that below-market compensation could, in the long run, jeopardize our ability to retain our executive officers.
Any base salary adjustments are generally based on competitive conditions, market increases in salaries, individual performance, our overall financial results and performance, estimates of the cost of living and changes in job duties and responsibilities. Pursuant to the employment agreements we have with Messrs. Silvester and O'Shea and Ms. Gregory, once increased, such executive officer’s annual salary cannot be decreased without his or her written consent.
The Compensation Committee did not increase base salaries for Messrs. Silvester and O'Shea and Ms. Gregory during 2018. Pursuant to his contract, as a U.K.-based employee, Mr. Silvester is paid in British Pounds, and therefore the Summary Compensation Table indicates an increase to his base salary even though no such increase was made, as a result of the conversion of his salary into our reporting currency of U.S. Dollars.
In connection with his promotion to CFO from Deputy CFO, Mr. Bowker's base salary was increased to $575,000 effective January 1, 2018. In connection with our annual compensation review, Mr. Brockman's base salary was increased by 1.5% to $468,930 effective April 1, 2018.
Annual Incentive Compensation
Operation of 2016-2018 Annual Incentive Compensation Program
Our 2016-2018 Annual Incentive Compensation Program (the "Annual Incentive Plan") rewards performance consistent with our primary corporate objective of increasing our net book value per share over the long term through growth in our net earnings year over year. The Annual Incentive Plan provided for the grant of annual bonus compensation (a "bonus award") to all bonus-eligible employees, including our executive officers, and excluding StarStone and Atrium staff. StarStone and Atrium have different bonus programs, in which our executive officers are not eligible to participate.
Executive Officer 2018 Annual Incentive Plan Targets
In 2018, we continued the use of Company financial and operational performance objectives under our Annual Incentive Plan and established a threshold, target, and maximum annual incentive award payment structure. This change to our program followed an evaluation of the voting results from our 2015 annual general meeting and our

engagement with shareholders. Our longstanding prior practice was to use a fully discretionary annual incentive award plan as a way of addressing our acquisitive business model, in which our executives are encouraged to pursue new transactions on an opportunistic basis. We often adapt our financial, strategic, and operational plans during the course of the year to pursue these developing opportunities, and our results during early years of integrating new business can be difficult to predict. In moving to the different approach, the Compensation Committee designed a program it believed was better aligned with the expectations of our shareholders and would incentivize our executives to achieve our strategic goals.

Bonus Potential
The Compensation Committee establishes threshold, target, and maximum bonus potential levels for each executive officer, each of which is expressed as a percentage of base salary. In connection with shifting from a fully discretionary plan to the target-based program in 2016, these levels were initially set taking the historic compensation levels of our executives into consideration to ensure the new program would continue to reward strong performance, as well as motivate and retain our executives. Minor realignment adjustments were made in 2017 for Messrs. Silvester and O'Shea and Ms. Gregory, and no changes were made to the bonus potential levels in 2018.

Mr. Silvester's annual incentive award was calculated with reference to his annual base salary rate denominated in and paid in British Pounds ("GBP"). The annual incentive award amount paid to Mr. Silvester in GBP was converted to U.S. Dollars for presentation in this proxy statement using the prevailing exchange rate on the date of approval.
Company Financial Objectives
To determine the Company financial objectives, the Compensation Committee reviewed the 2018 business plan with the full Board and the executive officers and put in place a challenging set of financial objectives. The Compensation Committee used three financial metrics:
net earnings;
growth in fully diluted book value per share; and
return on equity.
The Compensation Committee then selected a threshold, target, and maximum objective for each of these metrics based on the Company's business plan, which correspond to each executive’s bonus potential. The financial objectives were set as follows:

In establishing financial objective levels, the Compensation Committee maintained targets relatively in line with 2017 actuals, taking into consideration the 2018 Board-approved business plan and noting that 2017 was a year of record net earnings, and moderately increased the return on equity target. The Compensation Committee also considered the Company's risk appetite and the anticipated market environment. Specifically, the selected financial objective levels reflected the persistent low interest rate environment, regulatory constraints on our capital and investments, the impact of integrating recent transactions on short-term results, as well as the very challenging active underwriting environment. The Compensation Committee established metrics that it believed would be challenging and only achievable with strong performance and precise execution, with maximum levels achievable only with extraordinary performance.
Despite our executives' achievement of many operational objectives as described below, the Company did not achieve the threshold level of performance for any of the financial objectives. The primary reasons for this as described above in the "Executive Summary" section. As a result, the Company Financial Performance Objective component of annual incentive plan awards for 2018 was not paid to any executive officers.
Operational Performance Objectives
In early 2018, the Compensation Committee asked each executive to provide a proposed set of individual operational performance goals to the CEO. The CEO reviewed and discussed these goals with each executive and provided the agreed goals to the Compensation Committee for review, deliberation and revision. The CEO submitted his proposed set of individual goals directly to the Compensation Committee.
In the third quarter of 2018, the Compensation Committee reviewed interim self-appraisals to track each executive's progress. Following year-end, each executive submitted a final self-appraisal of his or her performance versus the goals to the Compensation Committee and the CEO. The Compensation Committee discussed each appraisal with the CEO before making a determination and considered his thoughts and views on overall achievement levels. The Compensation Committee considers achievement of "threshold" level to partially meet operational performance expectations, with "target" level corresponding to meeting expectations, and "maximum" level corresponding to exceptional performance.
Dominic Silvester: Mr. Silvester's operational performance objectives included several strategic and operational objectives as follows: acquire at least the specified level of new non-life run-off loss reserves, including by fostering relationships with new and existing partners; develop and implement enhancements to the Company's investment strategy and asset deployment opportunities; evaluate, recommend and oversee several contemplated strategic transactions; oversee the implementation of a new capital management function; strengthen the leadership team; and continue the development of the Company's succession planning in identified roles.
The Compensation Committee determined that Mr. Silvester partially achieved his collective operational performance objectives, exceeding or meeting his objectives in some areas and not fully achieving them in others.  The Compensation Committee assessed that he exceeded his run-off acquisition objective and met his investment strategy objective. Under Mr. Silvester's leadership, Enstar completed run-off transactions in 2018 involving approximately $3.2 billion of gross loss reserves, our largest year to date in terms of acquired reserves, and Enhanzed Re, a joint venture launched with Allianz and Hillhouse capitalized with $470 million.  Mr. Silvester also oversaw the implementation of a new private equity mandate and the successful completion of several private company investments and other transactions, such as the acquisition of KaylaRe. While many other objectives were met or partially met, the Compensation Committee determined that additional progress was needed. The Compensation Committee also took into consideration the underperformance of StarStone, although it recognized that he significantly strengthened StarStone's leadership in the second half of 2018.
The Compensation Committee reduced Mr. Silvester's formulaic annual incentive plan award amount by 26%, resulting in a total award amount of 29% of his base salary. This determination, which Mr. Silvester recommended, reflects the Compensation Committee's view that the awards for the CEO, President, and COO should be impacted the most by the Company's $162.0 million reported net loss, given their positions as the most senior leaders in the group.

Enstar Group Limited

2019 Proxy Statement


Paul O'Shea: Mr. O’Shea's operational performance objectives were as follows: deliver the acquisition of at least the specified level of new non-life run-off loss reserves; oversee process advancements within the acquisitions function; oversee the Company's interactions with global regulators and rating agencies; further develop the long-term strategic direction of the Company and complete approved projects aimed at providing accretive returns; oversee specified leadership and strategic objectives in our StarStone segment; and improve leadership development and succession planning within specified functions.
The Compensation Committee determined that Mr. O’Shea partially achieved his collective operational performance objectives, exceeding or meeting his objectives in some areas and not fully achieving them in others. The Compensation Committee assessed that he exceeded his run-off acquisition objective, met his acquisition processes objective; met his regulatory and rating agency objective; partially achieved his strategic transaction objective; and did not sufficiently achieve his StarStone-related operational objective, although the committee recognized that progress was made in many areas. Mr. O'Shea was a primary contributor to our significant acquisitions of new run-off business. He also engaged with several of our key regulators and rating agencies during 2018, which resulted in favorable outcomes, and played a key role in the accretive purchase of KaylaRe and the launch of Enhanzed Re. The Compensation Committee also took into consideration the underperformance of StarStone in determining Mr. O'Shea's 2018 award.
The Compensation Committee reduced Mr. O'Shea's formulaic annual incentive plan award amount by 28%, resulting in a total award amount of 38% of his base salary.
Orla Gregory: Ms. Gregory's operational performance objectives were as follows: oversee enhancements to the Company's risk management function; drive specified organizational efficiency projects; re-define IT strategy under new leadership; support the CEO and President in completing strategic transactions and opportunities aimed at increasing long-term value; oversee our large-scale effort to optimize our IT infrastructure to support future growth; and implement a new capital management function.
The Compensation Committee determined that Ms. Gregory partially achieved her collective operational performance objectives, meeting several and partially achieving others. The Compensation Committee assessed that she met her risk management, organizational efficiencies and IT strategy objectives, and partially achieved her strategic transaction, IT infrastructure and capital management objectives. Ms. Gregory drove significant enhancements in the Company's risk management function, advancing our capital modeling, investment and other risk analyses and improving reporting. She managed organizational efficiency projects and successfully oversaw the implementation of a new IT strategy framework. She has been instrumental in the implementation of our transformational IT optimization project, which went live during 2018 although it experienced some delays. The Compensation Committee also took into consideration the underperformance of StarStone in determining Ms. Gregory's 2018 award.
The Compensation Committee reduced Ms. Gregory formulaic annual incentive plan award amount by 41%, resulting in a total award amount of 36% of her base salary.
Guy Bowker: Mr. Bowker's operational performance objectives were as follows: provide executive support and leadership to key functions; manage strategic rating agency and regulatory interactions; oversee the development of the finance operations function and its management reporting; oversee the finance portion of our IT infrastructure optimization project; lead the provision of capital management information and design and develop greater organizational capabilities in this area; implement specified organizational efficiency initiatives; and further develop the finance function.
The Compensation Committee determined that Mr. Bowker achieved his operational performance objectives collectively at his target level. Mr. Bowker led several significant financing and treasury initiatives that improved our capital position during 2018 and oversaw finance support for the M&A function as the Company acquired $3.2 billion of gross loss reserves in run-off transactions. He also successfully managed interactions with the Bermuda Monetary Authority (our Group Supervisor) and led rating agency interactions that resulted in improvements to our credit ratings. In addition, Mr. Bowker drove significant enhancements to our capital planning and budgeting processes, and oversaw the successful completion of the first phase of the finance portion of our IT infrastructure optimization project. He also successfully led capital management work and implemented enhanced capital modeling and capital forecasting capabilities. During the year, Mr. Bowker strengthened the finance function and improved its efficiency.
The Compensation Committee increased Mr. Bowker's formulaic annual incentive plan award amount by 102%, resulting in a total award amount approximately equal to his base salary. The Compensation Committee determined that this adjustment to Mr. Bowker's annual incentive award was appropriate in recognition of his success leading the completion of $2.2 billion of financing initiatives and capital markets transactions, notable improvements in the strength of the finance function, and additional responsibilities taken on during the year.

2019 Proxy Statement


Paul Brockman: Mr. Brockman's operational performance objectives were as follows: deliver on challenging U.S. technical business plan; execute our acquisition strategy in the U.S.; support U.S. operational and acquisition integration initiatives; manage U.S. regulatory interactions; oversee the U.S. claims portion of our IT infrastructure optimization project; implement specified organizational efficiency initiatives; and develop U.S. leadership team succession planning.
The Compensation Committee determined that Mr. Brockman achieved his operational performance objectives at his target level. Mr. Brockman led the U.S. business to achieve its challenging technical run-off plan, which contributed significantly to our reserve savings for the year, and which the Committee weighted heavily. He was very involved in acquisition sourcing and provided critical support to reviewing and integrating several new deals, including with respect to several loss portfolio transfers and our acquisition of Maiden Reinsurance North America. Mr. Brockman continued to strengthen our U.S. regulatory relationships, which are critical to our ability to operate effectively and grow, and was actively involved in landmark regulatory and legislative initiatives. The U.S. claims IT infrastructure optimization project was completed, and he implemented several important organizational efficiency initiatives.
The Compensation Committee increased Mr. Brockman's formulaic annual incentive plan award amount by 34%, resulting in a total award amount of 84% of his base salary. The Compensation Committee determined that this adjustment to Mr. Brockman's award was appropriate given impressive U.S. technical plan results and the overall success of the U.S. business, his vital support of acquisition sourcing and integration and his continued strong leadership as U.S. CEO.
Committee Adjustment Amount
The Committee Adjustment Amount allows for a positive or negative discretionary adjustment of up to 10% on the formulaic bonus outcome described above. Any Committee Adjustment Amount is applied based on the Compensation Committee's judgment of the executive’s overall performance, including for exceptional individual or team achievements.
The Committee Adjustment Amount set forth in the 2018 Bonus Calculations table reflect the views of the Compensation Committee summarized above. 2018 was a difficult year in which to apply a strict formula and stay within the 10% limit because the Company reported a net loss that was driven primarily by the accounting treatment for unrealized investment losses that occurred due to market forces outside of management's control and losses in the StarStone segment. The Committee determined that these factors masked strong underlying performance of our core non-life run-off business, which had a successful year in terms of claims reserve savings, and the notable acquisitions of record levels of new run-off business.
Mr. Silvester recommended, and the Committee agreed, that awards for himself, Mr. O'Shea, and Ms. Gregory should be reduced from the formula in excess of 10%, given their greater involvement in overseeing strategic initiatives and StarStone, while awards for Messrs. Bowker and Brockman should be increased. While the Committee prefers to stay within the formula of the annual incentive plan, it determined these adjustments were appropriate, noting that the aggregate negative discretion of over $700,000 significantly outweighed the aggregate positive discretion of $392,250.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation
We established the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Equity Plan") to provide our employees with long-term equity-based incentive compensation, which we believe furthers our objective of aligning the interests of management and the other plan participants with those of our shareholders. The Equity Plan was approved by a 99% vote of our shareholders at our 2016 annual general meeting and is administered by the Compensation Committee. In considering whether to make long-term equity-based compensatory awards and how to design them, the Compensation Committee takes into account shareholder dilution and burn rate issues and related concerns.
Following the adoption of the Equity Plan, the Compensation Committee worked with our independent compensation consultant to develop a long-term incentive program for senior management based on principles of equity compensation it believes are aligned with shareholder expectations and best practice. The awards included a combination of three-year cliff-vesting performance stock unit awards ("PSUs") tied to growth in fully diluted book value per share ("FDBVPS") and three-year tranche-vesting restricted stock unit awards ("RSUs"), with the ratio of PSUs to RSUs increasing with relative levels of seniority. In 2017, the Compensation Committee worked with our independent compensation consultant to make long term incentive awards to our CEO, President and COO using the using the framework of the senior management program.

Equity Awards
No new equity awards were made to Messrs. Silvester and O'Shea and Ms. Gregory during 2018. In 2017, they each received long-term incentive awards consisting of 75% PSUs and 25% RSUs that are intended to cover a three-year period. The PSUs for Messrs. Silvester and O'Shea and Ms. Gregory vest according to the performance targets following the performance period from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2019 (set forth in the table below). Due to the negative impact of our 2018 financial results, we currently carry the 3-year 2017 PSU awards granted to our CEO, President and COO at "threshold" value based on our current expectation that these awards will vest at or below the “threshold” level of achievement, which would result in either significantly diminished or zero payout upon vesting. “Threshold” represents 50% of the original number of PSUs granted.

Messrs. Bowker and Brockman received grants of PSUs under our senior management long-term equity incentive program in early 2018 in the amounts set forth in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table. These awards were intended to accompany RSUs granted in late 2017, such that the total award comprised 65% PSUs and 35% RSUs. Unlike the current treatment for Messrs. Silvester and O'Shea and Ms. Gregory, Messrs. Bowker and Brockman are considered eligible for annual long-term equity incentive awards, and the amounts of such awards are subject to the Compensation Committee's determination each year.
In addition, Messrs. Bowker and Brockman received grants of 65% PSUs and 35% RSUs under our senior management program in early 2019. The performance targets applicable to Messrs. Bowker and Brockman's outstanding PSUs relate to succeeding three-year performance periods measuring growth in three-year fully diluted book value per share from the year of grant.

Other Benefits and Perquisites
We provide certain additional benefits in furtherance of our objective of retaining and attracting key talent and pursuant to contractual provisions. In 2018, our executive officers participated in the same group insurance and employee benefit plans, including long-term disability insurance, life insurance, and medical and dental benefits on the same basis as our other salaried employees, and Mr. Silvester received certain additional expense reimbursements for non-plan medical and dental items. We pay the employee’s share of Bermudian government payroll and social insurance taxes for all of our Bermuda employees, including our executive officers, which we believe is common practice at other Bermuda-based public companies. Our executive officers also receive payment in lieu of a retirement benefit contribution, as described below in the "Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table" under "Retirement and Other Benefits," and Mr. Brockman participates in our U.S. 401(k) plan, which has matching contributions.
Executive Employment Agreements
Employment contracts are required in most jurisdictions in which our NEOs are based. During 2017, the Compensation Committee negotiated new employment agreements with Messrs. Silvester and O'Shea and Ms. Gregory, as their respective contracts were due to expire at the end of 2017 and the Board determined it was critical to retain these executives for additional terms. The Compensation Committee also approved Mr. Bowker's employment contract, which was entered into on December 28, 2017 and took effect January 1, 2018. We entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Brockman effective January 8, 2018. See "Executive Compensation Tables - Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan Based Awards Table - Employment Agreements with Executive Officers" below for a summary of the material terms of these employment agreements.
Post-Termination Payments
Our employment agreements with our executive officers each provide for certain benefits in the event of a change in control followed by termination of the executive’s employment for specified reasons (referred to as a "double trigger"), including a cash payment, accelerated vesting of equity awards, family medical benefits, and, in certain circumstances,

payment of annual incentive bonus. We believe these benefits are common features in many of our peers’ compensation programs. See “Executive Compensation Tables - Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan Based Awards Table - Employment Agreements with Executive Officers" below for a summary of these employment agreements. The terms of the employment agreements reflect arm’s-length negotiations between us and each executive officer.
Separately from our employment agreements and equally applicable to any participant, our Equity Plan only provides for plan participants to receive accelerated vesting upon a change in control if the acquirer does not assume or convert the awards, or substitute new awards. In the case of performance-based awards granted under the Equity Plan, if the acquirer does not assume, convert, or substitute awards, absent a Compensation Committee determination otherwise, only a pro-rata portion of the target opportunity for the performance period would accelerate upon a change in control, based on the portion of the performance period that has been completed.
Clawback of Incentive Compensation
Our Clawback Policy (the "Clawback Policy") applies to all cash and equity incentive awards granted after its adoption. The Clawback Policy allows the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee to recoup or "clawback" incentive compensation if an employee: (i) engages in misconduct pertaining to a financial reporting requirement under the federal securities laws that requires a restatement to correct an error; (ii) receives incentive compensation based on inaccurate financial or operating measure that when corrected causes significant harm to the Company; (iii) engages in any fraud, theft, misappropriation, embezzlement or dishonesty to the detriment of our financial results; or (iv) engages in conduct that is not in good faith and disrupts, damages, impairs, or interferes with our business, reputation, or employees.
In addition, our Annual Incentive Plan works in conjunction with our Clawback Policy in that it allows the Compensation Committee to cancel an award if the program participant has engaged in conduct or acts determined to be materially injurious, detrimental or prejudicial to the Company's interest, and allows us to recoup any amount in excess of what the participant should have received under the terms of the award for any reason, including financial restatement, mistake in calculations or other administrative error. Awards made under our Equity Plan are also subject to the Clawback Policy. In addition to the policy, our equity plan provides that the Compensation Committee has the authority to require disgorgement of any profit, gain or other benefit received in respect of restricted shares, options and stock appreciation rights for a period of up to 12 months prior to the grantee’s termination for cause.
Once final rules are adopted regarding clawback requirements under the Dodd-Frank Act, we will consider and adopt any additional responsive policies required. As a publicly traded company, the mandates of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requiring clawback of compensation under specified circumstances also apply to us.

Other Matters
Hedging Prohibition
Under our Code of Conduct, our employees, officers, and directors are prohibited from engaging in any hedging or monetization transactions involving our securities, such as zero-cost collars and forward sale contracts, and are also prohibited from trading in derivatives in our securities, such as exchange-traded put or call options and forward transactions.
Share Ownership Guidelines
Our Share Ownership Guidelines require our executive officers and directors to achieve and maintain ownership of our ordinary shares at the levels specified in the table below within five years of becoming subject to the guidelines. An individual may not sell or otherwise dispose of Company shares (including during the five year accumulation period) until he or she has met his or her minimum ownership requirement except that shares may be withheld upon vesting to satisfy tax obligations.

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. This limitation has not historically impacted our decisions regarding executive compensation, including because nearly all of our executive officers are based outside of the U.S.
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.
Compensation Risk Assessment
As part of our risk management practices, the Compensation Committee reviews and considers risk implications of and incentives created by our executive compensation program and our compensation policies and practices for the Company as a whole. At the Compensation Committee’s direction, representatives from our risk management and legal departments conducted a risk assessment of our compensation policies and practices for executives and all employees, which was discussed and reviewed by the Compensation Committee.
The review analyzes compensation governance processes, situations where compensation programs may have the potential to raise material risks to the Company, internal controls that mitigate the risk of incentive compensation having an adverse effect, and program elements that further mitigate these risks.
Through this review, the Compensation Committee has concluded that our compensation program does not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us.

Chief Executive Officer, Enstar (US), Inc
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
(1)
All base salary amounts are presented in United States Dollars ("USD"). The change in Mr. Silvester's salary from 2017 to 2018 was the result of exchange rate fluctuation between British Pounds ("GBP") and USD; his salary was not increased in 2018. Mr. Silvester's nominal base salary is £1,848,090. Amounts paid to Mr. Silvester in GBP have been converted to USD for presentation in this Summary Compensation Table as described below in footnote 4.
(2)
The amount shown in the Stock Awards column represents the aggregate grant date fair value of time-vested restricted shares, RSUs, and PSUs granted to our executive officers in the applicable fiscal year, computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, excluding the effect of estimated forfeitures. Amounts reported in the table in respect of PSUs granted in 2018 reflect a "target" level of performance. If the maximum level of performance were to be achieved, then the number of shares that would be received in respect of such 2018 PSUs would be 150% of the number of PSUs granted, and the grant date value of such awards would have been as follows: Guy Bowker - $560,458 and Paul Brockman - $337,593. Whether the recipients of PSUs will receive any shares in respect of PSU awards depends on whether Enstar achieves certain levels of growth in fully diluted book value per share. Due to the negative impact of our 2018 financial results, we currently carry the 3-year 2017 PSU awards granted to our CEO, President and COO at "threshold" value based on our current expectation that these awards will vest at or below the “threshold” level of achievement, which would result in either significantly diminished or zero payout upon vesting. “Threshold” represents 50% of the original number of PSUs granted.
(3)
The amounts reported reflect the actual performance-based annual incentive bonuses paid to each named executive officer for the applicable fiscal year pursuant to the Annual Incentive Plan. The bonuses paid pursuant to the Annual Incentive Plan are described above in "Compensation Discussion and Analysis - Annual Incentive Compensation.”
(4)
All Other Compensation for 2018 represents: (a) perquisites valued at aggregate incremental cost to Enstar, comprising additional medical and dental expense reimbursement pursuant to employment agreement ($27,401) and accommodation expense reimbursement and (b) other compensation consisting of a payment in respect of retirement benefit contribution ($247,013). The retirement benefit contribution is a payment we provide to all of our U.K.-based employees. Pursuant to his employment agreement, we began compensating Mr. Silvester in GBP in April 2017, and amounts paid to him in GBP have been converted to USD at the then-prevailing exchange rate on the relevant payroll date or, in the case of annual incentive awards for 2018, on the date of approval by the Compensation Committee.
(5)
All Other Compensation for 2018 represents other compensation, including: (i) cash payment in respect of retirement benefit contribution ($57,500) and (ii) payment of the employee’s share of Bermudian payroll and social insurance tax ($204,380). Both the retirement benefit contribution and the payroll and social insurance tax payment are payments we provide to all of our Bermuda-based employees.
(6)
All Other Compensation for 2018 represents other compensation, including: (i) cash payment in respect of retirement benefit contribution ($127,154) and (ii) payment of the employee’s share of Bermudian payroll and social insurance tax ($168,143). Both the retirement benefit contribution and the payroll and social insurance tax payment are payments we provide to all of our Bermuda-based employees.
(7)
All Other Compensation for 2018 represents other compensation, including: (i) cash payment in respect of retirement benefit contribution ($112,200) and (ii) payment of the employee’s share of Bermudian payroll and social insurance tax ($178,370). Both the retirement benefit contribution and the payroll and social insurance tax payment are payments we provide to all of our Bermuda-based employees.
(8)
All Other Compensation for 2018 represents other compensation, consisting of a Company matching contribution under our 401(k) plan ($18,500). This Company matching contribution under our 401(k) plan is offered to all of our U.S.-based employees.

The amounts reported in these columns represent estimated possible payouts of performance-based annual incentive cash bonuses under the 2016-2018 Annual Incentive Plan ("AIP") in respect of 2018, assuming threshold achievement, target achievement and maximum achievement of the applicable performance metrics and assuming full negative and positive exercise of the Committee Adjustment Amount for threshold and maximum awards, respectively. The Committee Adjustment Amount is described in detail in "Compensation Discussion and Analysis - Annual Incentive Compensation - Committee Adjustment Amount." The actual amounts paid to our named executive officers in respect of 2018 are included in the Summary Compensation Table in the "Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation" column. 
(2)
The amounts reported in these columns represent grants pursuant to the Equity Plan during 2018 of PSUs that cliff vest following a three-year performance period, subject to the Company's of achievement of certain levels of growth in fully diluted book value per share selected by the Compensation Committee. Failure by the Company to attain at least a threshold level of financial performance during the performance period in respect of an award would result in zero vesting of PSUs under such award.
(3)
The amounts reported in this column represent the grant date fair value of time-vested restricted share units and performance share units granted to our named executive officers in the applicable fiscal year, computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, excluding the effect of estimated forfeitures. The assumptions made in the valuation of stock awards are discussed in Note 19 - Share-Based Compensation and Pensions to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table
Employment Agreements with Named Executive Officers
We have employment agreements with all of our named executive officers. Our agreements with Messrs. Silvester and O’Shea originally became effective as of May 1, 2007 following our public listing on the NASDAQ stock exchange and have been extended on subsequent occasions. Our employment agreements with Ms. Gregory and Mr. Bowker originally became effective as of August 18, 2015 and July 28, 2015, respectively.
On March 28, 2017, we entered into a new employment agreement with Mr. Silvester (subsequently amended on April 12, 2017) with a three-year term extending until April 17, 2020, which reflects his relocation to the United Kingdom on such date, among other changes. On May 19, 2017, we entered into new employment agreements with Mr. O'Shea and Ms. Gregory with three-years terms extending to May 19, 2020. The new agreements for Messrs. Silvester and O'Shea and Ms. Gregory no longer contain an automatic renewal clause, nor a mandatory cost-of-living base salary increase (as existed in the prior agreements). Contractual clawbacks have also been added to supplement our Company policy.
In connection with his appointment as Chief Financial Officer, we entered into a new employment agreement with Mr. Bowker effective as of January 1, 2018. Mr. Bowker's employment agreement continues for an indefinite term until terminated in accordance with its terms.
Mr. Brockman's employment agreement was entered into on January 8, 2018 and continues for an indefinite term until terminated in accordance with its terms.
The material terms of each of the employment agreements are described below in the section entitled "Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control," and are substantially similar for the executives other than as noted. The employment agreements also provide for certain benefits and certain restrictive covenants upon termination of employment for various reasons.

Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control
This section describes payments that would be made to our executive officers following termination of employment or upon a change in control of the Company. In the first part of this section, we describe benefits under employment agreements and general plans that apply to any executive officer participating in those plans. We then provide estimated amounts of benefits assuming the occurrence of certain hypothetical termination events as of December 31, 2018.
Employment Agreements for our Named Executive Officers
Our executive officers are entitled to certain benefits under their employment agreements upon termination of their employment.  An executive officer’s employment may terminate under any of the following circumstances: (i) by us for "cause" (as defined in the applicable executive’s agreement) or by the executive without "good reason" (as defined in the applicable executive’s agreement), (ii) by us without "cause" or by the executive with "good reason," (iii) following a "change of control" (as defined in the applicable executive’s agreement), (iv) upon the executive’s death or disability and (v) after expiration of the term of employment.
Upon termination for any reason, each executive is entitled to any salary, bonuses, expense reimbursement and similar amounts (including pension benefits) that were already earned, but not yet paid.
Termination for "Cause" or Voluntary Termination without "Good Reason." If we terminate the employment agreement of Mr. Silvester, Mr. O'Shea, Ms. Gregory or Mr. Bowker for "cause," or if one of them voluntarily terminates his/her 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. If we terminate the employment agreement of Mr. Brockman for "cause," we will not be obligated to make any payments to him other than amounts that have been fully earned by, but not yet paid to, him.
Termination "without Cause" or Termination with "Good Reason." Our executive officers are entitled to the benefits described below if: (i) we terminate the executive officer’s employment "without cause" or (ii) the executive officer terminates his/her employment with "good reason": (A) 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; (B) a lump sum amount equal to three times the executive officer’s annual base salary (for Messrs. Silvester and O'Shea), two times (for Ms. Gregory), one time (for Mr. Bowker) and a continuation of base salary payments for a period of 6 months (for Mr. Brockman); (C) continued medical benefits coverage for the executive officer, his/her spouse and dependents at our expense for 36 months (for Messrs. Silvester and O'Shea), 24 months (for Ms. Gregory) and 12 months (for Mr. Bowker); (D) vesting of each outstanding unvested equity incentive award, if any, granted to the executive officer before, on or within three years of the effective date of the employment agreement (for Messrs. Silvester and O'Shea and Ms. Gregory); and (E) 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 or she been employed by us for the full year (an "Incentive Plan Payment") for Messrs. Silvester and O'Shea and Ms.

Enstar Group Limited

2019 Proxy Statement


Gregory and an Incentive Plan Payment reduced on a pro rata basis to reflect the amount of calendar days during the year that he was employed (a "Pro Rata Incentive Plan Payment") for Messrs. Bowker and Brockman.
Termination following a Change in Control. Our employment agreements with our named executive officers are "double trigger" in nature, meaning that in the event of a change in control as defined in the employment agreements, the executive officer is entitled to the prescribed employment agreement benefits only following termination of employment. Termination of employment must be either: (i) termination by us "without cause" or (ii) termination by executive with "good reason." The termination must also occur within one year of a change in control. If these conditions are met, the executive would be entitled to the same benefits described above under "Termination without Cause/Termination with Good Reason."
If the executive ends his/her employment following a change in control without "good reason," the executive would receive only earned but unpaid compensation as of the termination date under his/her employment agreement. In the event of termination by Mr. Brockman for any reason (other than for "cause"), we will not be obligated to make any payments to him other than amounts that have been fully earned by, but not yet paid to, him unless we elect to make his termination effective prior to the end of his six month notice period.
Death of Executive. In the event of an executive officer’s death, his/her employment agreement automatically terminates, and his/her designated beneficiary or legal representatives are entitled to: (A) a lump sum payment equal to five times the executive officer’s annual base salary in effect at the time of his/her death, pursuant to life insurance benefits we maintain (for Messrs. Silvester and O'Shea and Ms. Gregory); (B) a Pro Rata Incentive Plan Payment; and (C) continued medical benefits coverage under the employment agreement for the executive officer’s spouse and dependents for a period of 36 months (for Messrs. Silvester and O'Shea), 24 months (for Ms. Gregory) and 12 months (for Mr. Bowker) following death.
Disability of Executive. For Mr. Silvester, Mr. O'Shea, Ms. Gregory and Mr. Bowker, either the executive officer or we may terminate his/her employment agreement if the executive officer becomes disabled (as defined in the applicable executive’s agreement). If the executive officer’s employment ends because of disability, then he/she is entitled to: (A) 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 such termination; (B) base salary for a period of 36 months (for Messrs. Silvester and O'Shea), 24 months (for Ms. Gregory) and 12 months (for Mr. Bowker) - with base salary payments being offset by any payments to the executive officer under the Company's disability insurance policies; (C) a Pro Rata Incentive Plan Payment (for Mr. Silvester, Mr. O'Shea, Ms. Gregory and Mr. Bowker); and (D) continued medical benefits coverage for the executive officer, his/her spouse and dependents at our expense for 36 months (for Messrs. Silvester and O'Shea), 24 months (for Ms. Gregory) and 12 months (for Mr. Bowker).
Restrictive Covenants. In addition, the employment agreements of Messrs. Silvester and O'Shea and Ms. Gregory provide the Company with certain protections in the form of restrictive covenants, including that if the executive fails to remain employed through the current term (other than in the event of termination by the Company "without cause" or by the executive with "good reason"), he/she may not compete with us for a specified period following the date of termination of employment. Such specified periods are 18 months with respect to Messrs. Silvester and O'Shea and 12 months with respect to Ms. Gregory. These agreements, and the agreements for Messrs. Bowker and Brockman, also include restrictive covenants regarding non-solicitation, confidentiality, and non-disparagement. Messrs. Bowker and Brockman are subject to restrictive covenants regarding post-termination non-solicitation for periods of 12 months and 6 months, respectively.
Annual Incentive Plan
Under the Annual Incentive Plan, a change in control would accelerate payment of bonuses by changing the measurement period to determine bonuses from the calendar year to a period that begins on the first day of the calendar year and ends on the date of the change in control.
Equity Incentive Plans
Our Equity Plan provides that the Compensation Committee will not fully vest outstanding awards and will not make any payments in respect of outstanding awards if the Compensation Committee determines, prior to a Change in Control, that the surviving or successor corporation will assume all outstanding awards, or substitute a new award of the same type for each outstanding award. If such assumption or substitution does not occur, the Compensation Committee may fully vest all outstanding awards in the event of a Change in Control and may terminate such outstanding awards in exchange for a settlement payment based upon the price per Share received in connection with the Change in Control. Unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee, performance stock and PSUs with respect to completed performance periods shall be paid if earned and with respect to in-progress performance periods, a pro-

CEO PAY RATIO
SEC rules require the Company to determine the annual total compensation of our median-compensated employee for 2018 and present a comparison of that person's compensation to the annual total compensation of our CEO, Dominic Silvester. Our pay ratio was calculated using the ratio of Mr. Silvester's annual total compensation (as reported in the Summary Compensation Table) to the annual total compensation of our median employee (calculated in accordance with the Summary Compensation Table rules), for fiscal year 2018. Mr. Silvester's 2018 annual total reported compensation was $3,444,588. The 2018 annual total compensation of our median compensated employee was $89,410. Accordingly, our pay ratio for 2018 was 39 to 1, compared to 185 to 1 for 2017. The decrease was primarily attributable to the inclusion of the grant date fair value of an equity award intended to cover a three-year period in Mr. Silvester's 2017 total compensation figure that did not reoccur in 2018. In addition, his annual incentive award for 2018 was significantly lower than the prior year.
To calculate our CEO pay ratio, we identified a median-compensated employee for whom 2018 annual total compensation could be determined. We determined the median-compensated employee by collecting compensation data for all of our full- and part-time staff employed by us across all jurisdictions on October 1, 2018, excluding Mr. Silvester. We excluded from this population all personnel classified as independent contractors whose compensation is determined by third parties. This process resulted in the use of a different person as the median-compensated employee than the prior year.
To identify the median-compensated employee, we used total cash compensation as our compensation measure, which included (i) base salary or wages, including overtime, and (ii) annual incentive payments made during the one-year period ended September 30, 2018. Equity compensation, including any equity awards settled in cash, was not included in total cash compensation. We did not make any cost-of-living or other adjustments, assumptions or estimates. Total cash compensation paid in a foreign currency was converted to U.S. Dollars at prevailing exchange rates as of September 20, 2018.

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, 2018 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 Auditing Standards No. 1301, as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, under which such firm must provide us with additional information regarding the conduct of the 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, 2018 be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for that year.

PROPOSAL NO. 1 — ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
Three Class I directors are to be elected at the Annual General Meeting to hold office until our annual general meeting in 2022:
Robert J. Campbell
Jie Liu
Paul J. O'Shea
Messrs. Campbell, Liu and O'Shea are currently serving as directors, and their biographies are available above under "Corporate Governance - Board of Directors." Included in each nominee’s biography is an assessment of his specific qualifications, attributes, skills and experience.
Our Board nominated Messrs. Campbell, Liu and O'Shea following the recommendation by our Nominating and Governance Committee, a committee comprised entirely of independent directors. Each nominee has consented to serve if elected. We do not expect that any nominee will become unavailable for election as a director, but if a nominee should become unavailable prior to the meeting, the proxies to vote for such nominee will instead either be voted for a substitute nominee recommended by our Board, or not voted, if the Board determines in its discretion that the position should remain vacant.

PROPOSAL NO. 2 — ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
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 executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement.
Before you vote, we urge you to read the Compensation Discussion and Analysis and the Executive Compensation Tables sections of this proxy statement for additional details on our executive compensation, including its governance, framework, components, and the compensation decisions for our executive officers for 2018.
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 executive officers and our executive compensation principles, policies and procedures.
We ask our shareholders to approve the compensation of our executive officers by voting "FOR" the following resolution:
RESOLVED, that the Company’s shareholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the executive officers, as disclosed in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2019 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.

PROPOSAL NO. 3 — RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Audit Committee of our Board has reappointed KPMG Audit Limited ("KPMG"), as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2019. 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. KPMG has served as our independent registered public accounting firm since our shareholders ratified its appointment at the 2012 annual general meeting. 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 2019 AND THE AUTHORIZATION OF OUR BOARD, ACTING THROUGH THE AUDIT COMMITTEE, TO APPROVE THE FEES FOR THE INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Audit and Non-Audit Fees

Audit-Related Fees for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 consisted primarily of professional services rendered for financial accounting and reporting consultations.
Tax Fees for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 were for professional services rendered for tax compliance and tax consulting.
All Other Fees for the year ended December 31, 2018 were for professional services rendered for certain subsidiary matters.
Consideration of Auditor Independence
The Audit Committee has concluded that the provision of the non-audit services by KPMG is compatible with maintaining its independence.
Procedures for Pre-Approval of Audit and Non-Audit Services
Our Audit Committee has adopted a policy to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm. During 2018, the Audit Committee also granted its pre-approval for specific types of tax and other non-audit services with specified fee structures that may be provided by KPMG. Any engagements falling within these pre-approved outlines can be entered into, with KPMG and management reporting the details of any such pre-approved engagements to the Audit Committee at its next meeting. The Audit Committee will review the scope of the pre-approval annually. In the event it becomes necessary to engage the independent registered public accounting firm for additional services not contemplated in the original pre-approval at a time that does not correspond to a committee meeting, the Audit Committee has delegated authority to review and approve such services to the Audit Committee Chairman, who would report any such approvals to the full committee at its next meeting.

PROPOSALS RELATED TO THE AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT OF THE BYE-LAWS OF THE COMPANY
On February 20, 2019, the Board of Directors approved the amendment and restatement of our Bye-laws, subject to shareholder approval pursuant to Bye-law 76. Set forth in the below proposals are descriptions of the proposed Bye-laws amendments. This is not a comprehensive description of each and every proposed change. Shareholders should review Appendix A to inform themselves as to the specific text of the proposed changes to our Bye-laws.
PROPOSAL NO. 4 — AMENDMENT OF BYE-LAWS TO REMOVE VOTING CUTBACK
Bye-law 4.7 of our existing Bye-laws contains “voting cut-back” provisions that limit any U.S. shareholder from owning or controlling ordinary shares constituting 9.5% or more of the voting power of all of our ordinary shares (the “Voting Cutback”). The purpose of the Voting Cutback was to reduce any risk that the Company and our non-U.S. subsidiaries be deemed a “controlled foreign corporation” (a “CFC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Pursuant to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) enacted by the U.S. government in December 2017, the definition of a “United States shareholder” for purposes of the CFC determination has been expanded to refer to economic ownership in addition to voting power. Because of these changes, the Voting Cutback is no longer effective in preventing “United States shareholder” status for U.S. Persons who hold 10% or more of the value of our ordinary shares, and therefore is no longer effective in reducing any risk of CFC status for the Company and our non-U.S. subsidiaries.
Since the Voting Cutback provisions are no longer effective in accomplishing the tax purposes for which they were created, we propose removing those provisions from our Bye-laws.
The proposed amendments are set forth in Appendix A. We urge you to review Appendix A before you vote.
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE FOR THE AMENDMENT OF OUR BYE-LAWS TO REMOVE THE VOTING CUTBACK.
PROPOSAL NO. 5 — AMENDMENT OF BYE-LAWS TO REMOVE SUBSIDIARY VOTING
Bye-law 78 of our existing Bye-laws provides that if we or any of our subsidiaries are required or entitled to vote at a general meeting of any of our subsidiaries, our shareholders have certain voting participation rights in matters relating to the appointment, removal or remuneration of directors of the subsidiary (“Pass-through Voting”). Bye-law 79 requires all of our non-U.S. subsidiaries to include similar provisions in their organizational documents. The purpose of Pass‑through Voting was to reduce any risk that our non-U.S. subsidiaries be deemed CFCs for U.S. federal income tax purposes, by ensuring that the voting power of our subsidiaries was in line with the voting power of our shareholders. Because of the changes described above in Proposal No. 4, whereby the Tax Act expanded the definition of “United States shareholder” for CFC determination purposes to consider economic ownership in addition to voting power, Pass-through Voting is no longer effective in preventing “United States shareholder” status with respect to our subsidiaries for U.S. Persons who hold 10% or more of the value of our ordinary shares, and is therefore no longer effective in reducing any risk of CFC status for our non-U.S. subsidiaries.
In light of the fact that the Pass-through Voting provisions are no longer effective in accomplishing the tax purposes for which they were created, we propose removing Bye-laws 78 and 79 from our Bye-laws. In addition, removing Bye-laws 78 and 79 will result in expense savings related to the customization of our proxy card and internet voting platform.
The proposed amendments are set forth in Appendix A. We urge you to review Appendix A before you vote.
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE FOR THE AMENDMENT OF OUR BYE-LAWS TO REMOVE SUBSIDIARY VOTING.
PROPOSAL NO. 6 — AMENDMENT OF BYE-LAWS FOR GENERAL UPDATES
A.    Removing List of Required Officers
Bye-law 48 of our existing Bye-Laws requires our Officers to consist of a President and a Vice President or a Chairman and a Deputy Chairman and a Secretary (as well as additional Officers as the Board may determine). This provision conformed to a historic requirement of the Bermuda Companies Act.
Because amendments to the Companies Act removed the requirement for Bermuda companies to have these specific Officers, we propose replacing this provision with a general statement that the Board may appoint such Officers (who may or may not be directors) as the Board may determine.

Enstar Group Limited
63
2019 Proxy Statement


B. Election of Directors
Bye-laws 37.1 and 56 of our existing Bye-laws require a majority of the Board to consist of directors who are not residents of the United Kingdom or Switzerland.
Because the restrictions on Switzerland are no longer material to our business, we propose revising Bye-laws 37.1 and 56 to remove references to Switzerland.
C. General Amendments to Update the Bye-laws
Various provisions in our Bye-laws refer to classes of shares that are no longer outstanding or include terms related to historic investments in the Company by certain shareholders’ (namely, affiliates of Goldman Sachs and First Reserve). We propose removing those references because those classes of shares are no longer outstanding, and the related provisions are no longer applicable. The provisions we propose to remove have no further effect, and therefore, these changes to our Bye-laws are not substantive.
The amendments also include certain other non-substantive changes.
The proposed amendments are set forth in Appendix A. We urge you to review Appendix A before you vote.
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE FOR THE AMENDMENT OF OUR BYE-LAWS FOR GENERAL UPDATES, INCLUDING THOSE DESCRIBED IN THIS PROPOSAL NO. 6.
PROPOSAL NO. 7 — ELECTION OF DIRECTORS FOR OUR SUBSIDIARIES
Background
Under our bye-laws, if we or our subsidiaries are required or entitled to vote at a general meeting of our subsidiaries, our Board must refer the subject matter of any vote regarding the appointment, removal or remuneration of directors to our shareholders and seek authority from our shareholders for our corporate representative or proxy to vote in favor of the resolutions proposed by these subsidiaries. We are submitting the election of the directors identified below for each of our subsidiaries whose shareholders are required to elect directors to our shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. Our Board will cause our corporate representative or proxy to vote the shares in these subsidiaries in the same proportion as the votes received at the meeting from our shareholders on these matters. Biographies for the subsidiary directors are set forth in Appendix B to this Proxy Statement.
Directors Nominated are for Privately Held, Consolidated Enstar Subsidiaries
The subsidiary companies whose directors are nominated in this Proxy Statement consist of our operating insurance and reinsurance companies, internal holding companies, and service companies, the substantial majority of which are wholly owned by Enstar, with some entities majority-owned by us alongside shareholders with non-controlling interests, such as our joint venture partners and co-investors. None of these subsidiaries are publicly traded companies. The subsidiary directors largely consist of our own employees, which is consistent with commercial practice in the jurisdictions in which we operate; although, where appropriate, many of our subsidiaries also have non-employee and independent directors (for example, where applicable regulations require or where we believe such directors can add value to our subsidiary boards).
Special Voting Instructions
Shareholders have the ability to vote for the election of all subsidiary director nominees, to vote against the election of all subsidiary director nominees, or to abstain from the election of all subsidiary director nominees. Alternatively, shareholders may vote for, against, or abstain from the election of each subsidiary director nominee on an individual basis either by mail or Internet voting.

OTHER GOVERNANCE MATTERS
Shareholder Proposals for the 2020 Annual General Meeting
Shareholder proposals intended for inclusion in the proxy statement for the 2020 annual general meeting of shareholders pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act should be sent to our Corporate Secretary at Enstar Group Limited, P.O. Box HM 2267, Windsor Place, 3rd Floor, 22 Queen Street, Hamilton, HM JX, Bermuda and must be received by December 28, 2019 and otherwise comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8 in order to be considered for inclusion in the 2020 proxy materials. 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 December 28, 2019 deadline is missed, a shareholder proposal may still be submitted for consideration at the 2020 annual general meeting of shareholders if it is received no later than March 12, 2020, 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 2020 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.
Householding
Some banks, brokers and other nominee record holders may be participating in the practice of "householding" proxy statements and annual reports. This means that only one copy of the Notice and, if applicable, the proxy materials may have been sent to multiple shareholders in your household. We will promptly deliver a separate copy of the Notice and, if applicable, the proxy materials to you if you request them by calling or writing to Investor Relations at Enstar Group Limited, P.O. Box HM 2267, Windsor Place, 3rd Floor, 22 Queen Street, Hamilton, HM JX, Bermuda (Telephone: (441) 292-3645). If you want to receive separate copies of the Notice and, if applicable, the proxy materials in the future, or if you are receiving multiple copies and would like to receive only one copy for your household, you should contact your bank, broker or other nominee record holder, or you may contact the Company at the above address or phone number.
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.
WE WILL FURNISH, WITHOUT CHARGE TO ANY SHAREHOLDER, A COPY OF ANY EXHIBIT TO OUR ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2018 UPON WRITTEN REQUEST TO INVESTOR RELATIONS, C/O ENSTAR GROUP LIMITED, P.O. BOX HM 2267, WINDSOR PLACE, 3RD FLOOR, 22 QUEEN STREET, HAMILTON, HM JX, BERMUDA

2.2
Without limitation to the provisions of Bye-law 4, subject to the provisions of the Act, any preference shares may be issued or converted into shares that (at a determinable date or at the option of the Company or the holder) are liable to be redeemed on such terms and in such manner as may be determined by the Board (before the issue or conversion).
3.    Power of the Company to Purchase its Shares.
The Company may purchase its own shares in accordance with the provisions of the Act on such terms as the Board shall think fit. The Board may exercise all the powers of the Company to purchase all or any part of its own shares in accordance with the Act.
4.    Rights Attaching to Shares
4.1
At the date this Bye-law 4.1 is adopted, the share capital of the Company shall be divided into three classes: (i) 90,000,000 ordinary shares of par value US$1.00 each (the “Common Shares”), (ii) 21,000,000 non-voting convertible ordinary shares of par value US$1.00 each (the “Non-Voting Convertible Common Shares”) and (iii) 45,000,000 preference shares of par value US$1.00 each (the “Preference Shares”).

The holders of Common Shares shall, subject to the provisions of these Bye-laws (including, without limitation, the rights attaching to Preference Shares):

be entitled to one vote per share;
(b)
be entitled to such dividends as the Board may from time to time declare on a pari passu basis with the Non-Voting Convertible Common Shares;
(c)

(d)
generally be entitled to enjoy all of the rights attaching to shares.
Any Common Shares held by GSCP or its BHC Affiliates shall, for the sake of clarity, vote together with all other Common Shares, but may be converted at any time at the option of the holder in its sole discretion into Series B Non-Voting Common Shares, Series C Non-Voting Common Shares or Series D Non-Voting Common Shares, at a one-for-one exchange ratio, subject in each case to any necessary adjustments for any share splits, dividends, recapitalizations, consolidations or similar transactions occurring in respect of the Common Shares or the Non-Voting Convertible Common Shares after the date of the adoption of these Bye-laws.
4.3 (a)
The Non-Voting Convertible Common Shares shall be divided into the following series: (i) Series AC Non-Voting Common Shares, (ii) Series B Non-Voting Common Shares, (iii) Series C Non-Voting Common Shares, (iv) Series D Non-Voting Common Shares and (viii) Series E Non-Voting Common Shares, each with the respective rights hereinafter specified. All Non-Voting Convertible Common Shares issued as of December 31, 2010 shall be designated Series A Non-Voting Common Shares. All Non-Voting Convertible Common Shares issued to GSCP or its BHC Affiliates (x) pursuant to Section 2.03(b) of the Investment Agreement or (y)

Enstar Group Limited
A-4
2019 Proxy Statement


upon the conversion of Common Shares into Non-Voting Convertible Common Shares pursuant to Bye-law 4.2, in each case, shall be Series B Non-Voting Common Shares. All other Non-Voting Convertible Common Shares issued to GSCP or its BHC Affiliates pursuant to the Investment Agreement shall be Series C Non-Voting Common Shares shall consist solely of such shares outstanding as of June 11, 2019. Series D Non-Voting Common Shares may only be issued upon conversion of (i) Common Shares in accordance with Bye-law 4.2, (ii) Series B Non-Voting Common Shares in accordance with Bye-law 4.3(g) or (iii) Series C Non-Voting Common Shares in accordance with Bye-law 4.3(he). All other Non-Voting Convertible Common Shares are Series E Non-Voting Common Shares, including the Non-Voting Convertible Common Shares issued to First Reserve or its Affiliates upon the conversion of Series B Preference Shares.
(b)
The holders of Non-Voting Convertible Common Shares shall, subject to the provisions of these Bye-laws (including, without limitation, the rights attaching to Preference Shares):
(i)
be entitled to such dividends as the Board may from time to time declare on a pari passu basis with the Common Shares;
(ii)
in the event of a winding-up or dissolution of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary or for the purpose of a reorganisation or otherwise or upon any distribution of capital, be entitled to the surplus assets of the Company on a pari passu basis with the Common Shares; and
(iii)
generally be entitled to enjoy all of the rights attaching to Common Shares, but shall be non-voting, except (1) as required by law, (2) in accordance with Bye-law 15 or (3) for the limited voting rights specified in Bye-law 4.3(c).
(c)
The holders of the Series B Non-Voting Common Shares, voting together as a separate class, and the holders of the Series C Non-Voting Common Shares, voting together as a separate class, shall be entitled to vote such shares, but only with respect to the following limited matters, which shall constitute a variation of class rights for the purposes of Bye-law 15:
(i)
any amendment, alteration or repeal of any provision of the Company’s memorandum of association or these Bye-laws (including any amendment, alteration or repeal by means of a merger, amalgamation, consolidation or otherwise) so as to significantly and adversely affect the rights, preferences, privileges or limited voting rights of the Series B Non-Voting Common Shares or the Series C Non-Voting Common Shares, as applicable;
(ii)
any consummation of a binding share exchange or reclassification involving the Series B Non-Voting Common Shares or the Series C Non-Voting Common Shares or of a merger, consolidation or amalgamation of the Company with another corporation or other entity (except for any such merger, consolidation or amalgamation in which the consideration paid to shareholders is entirely in cash), unless in each case (x) the shares of Series B Non-Voting Common Shares or the Series C Non-Voting Common Shares, as applicable, remain outstanding or, in the case of any such merger or consolidation with respect to which the Company is not the surviving or resulting entity, are converted into or exchanged for securities of the surviving or resulting entity or its ultimate parent, and (y) such shares have such rights, preferences, privileges and limited voting rights, and limitations and restrictions thereof, taken as a whole, as are not materially less favorable to the holders thereof than the rights, preferences, privileges and limited voting rights, and limitations and restrictions thereof, of the Series B Non-Voting Common Shares or the Series C Non-Voting Common Shares, as applicable, immediately prior to such consummation, taken as a whole.
provided, for the sake of clarity, that the holders of the Series A Non-Voting Common Shares, the Series D Non-Voting Common Shares and the Series E Non-Voting Common Shares shall not be entitled to vote such shares, except as required under Bermuda law.

Enstar Group Limited
A-5
2019 Proxy Statement


(d) Each Series A Non-Voting Common Share and Series B Non-Voting Common Share shall be automatically converted into one Common Share, subject to any necessary adjustments for any share splits, dividends, recapitalizations, consolidations or similar transactions occurring in respect of the Common Shares or the Non-Voting Convertible Common Shares after the date of the adoption of these Bye-laws, immediately prior to any transfer by the registered holder, whether or not for value, to a third party, except for transfers to a nominee or Affiliate of such holder in a transfer that will not result in a change of beneficial ownership (as determined under Rule 13d-3 under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) or to a person that already holds Series A Non-Voting Common Shares or Series B Non-Voting Common Shares.
(d)
(e) Each Series C Non-Voting Common Share, Series D Non-Voting Common Share and Series E Non-Voting Common Share shall be automatically converted into one Common Share, subject to any necessary adjustments for any share splits, dividends, recapitalizations, consolidations or similar transactions occurring in respect of the Common Shares or the Non-Voting Convertible Common Shares after the date of the adoption of these Bye-laws, only upon the transfer by the registered holder thereof, whether or not for value, to a third party in a Widely Dispersed Offering. As used herein, “Widely Dispersed Offering” means (i) a widespread public distribution, (ii) a transfer in which no transferee (or group of associated transferees) would receive 2% or more of any class of voting shares of the Company or (iii) a transfer to a transferee that would control more than 50% of the voting shares of the Company without any transfer from the holder. For purposes of the Series C Non-Voting Common Shares and Series D Non-Voting Common Shares, the term “registered holder” or “holder” means GSCP or its BHC Affiliates and any direct or indirect transferee of GSCP or its BHC Affiliates except a direct or indirect transferee that receives the Series C Non-Voting Common Shares or Series D Non-Voting Common Shares in a Widely Dispersed Offering.
(f) The holders of the Series A Non-Voting Common Shares shall not be permitted to convert such shares into any other class of the Company’s share capital or into any other series of Non-Voting Convertible Common Shares, except pursuant to a transfer permitted by clause (d) of this Bye-law 4.3.
(g) The holders of the Series B Non-Voting Common Shares shall have the right to convert all or any number of such shares into Series C Non-Voting Common Shares, Series D Non-Voting Common Shares or Common Shares at any time, in the sole discretion of such holder.
(e)
(h) The holders of the Series C Non-Voting Common Shares shall have the right to convert all or any number of such shares into Series D Non-Voting Common Shares at any time, in the sole discretion of such holder. The holders of the Series D Non-Voting Common Shares shall have no right to convert such shares, except that, upon the receipt of all applicable regulatory approvals, all or any number of such shares may be converted into Series C Non-Voting Common Shares at any time, in the sole discretion of such holder. The holders of the Series E Non-Voting Common Shares shall have no right to convert such shares.
(f)
(i) If at any time the Company declares or pays a dividend or distribution to any holder of Common Shares in the form of Common Shares or other voting security of the Company, the Company shall declare and pay to each holder of Non-Voting Convertible Common Shares a proportional dividend or distribution in the form of the same series of Non-Voting Convertible Common Shares.
(j) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the consideration payable to GSCP or its BHC Affiliates or First Reserve or its Affiliates as holders of Non-Voting Convertible Common Shares upon a Reorganization Event consists (in whole or in part) of property or securities that would, in the sole judgment of any holder thereof, create, aggravate or exacerbate any issue, problem or concern for any such holder or any of its affiliates, then the consideration payable to such holder shall be adjusted (e.g., by the issuance of non-voting securities that are economically equivalent to the voting securities they replaced and would convert into such voting securities on transfer to an unaffiliated third party, subject, if applicable, to the conversion restrictions set forth in Bye-law 4.3(e)) to the maximum extent practicable to

Enstar Group Limited
A-6
2019 Proxy Statement


eliminate or address such issue, problem or concern, so long as such adjusted or different securities have the same value as, and are pari passu with, the securities that they replaced.
4.4
The Board is authorised to provide for the issuance of the Preference Shares in one or more series, and to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each such series, and to fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each such series and the qualifications, limitations, or restrictions thereof (and, for the avoidance of doubt, such matters and the issuance of such Preference Shares shall not be deemed to vary the rights attached to the Common Shares or the Non-Voting Convertible Common Shares or, subject to the terms of any other series of Preference Shares, to vary the rights attached to any other series of Preference Shares). The authority of the Board with respect to each series shall include, but not be limited to, determination of the following:
(a)
the number of shares constituting that series and the distinctive designation of that series;
(b)
the dividend rate on the shares of that series, whether dividends shall be cumulative and, if so, from which date or dates, and the relative rights of priority, if any, of the payment of dividends on shares of that series;
(c)
whether that series shall have voting rights, in addition to the voting rights provided by law, and if so, the terms of such voting rights;
(d)
whether that series shall have conversion or exchange privileges (including, without limitation, conversion into Common Shares), and, if so, the terms and conditions of such conversion or exchange, including provision for adjustment of the conversion or exchange rate in such events as the Board shall determine;
(e)
whether or not the shares of that series shall be redeemable or repurchaseable, and, if so, the terms and conditions of such redemption or repurchase, including the manner of selecting shares for redemption or repurchase if less than all shares are to be redeemed or repurchased, the date or dates upon or after which they shall be redeemable or repurchaseable, and the amount per share payable in case of redemption or repurchase, which amount may vary under different conditions and at different redemption or repurchase dates;
(f)
whether that series shall have a sinking fund for the redemption or repurchase of shares of that series, and, if so, the terms and amount of such sinking fund;
(g)
the right of the shares of that series to the benefit of conditions and restrictions upon the creation of indebtedness of the Company or any subsidiary, upon the issue of any additional shares (including additional shares of such series or any other series) and upon the payment of dividends or the making of other distributions on, and the purchase, redemption or other acquisition by the Company or any subsidiary of any issued shares of the Company;
(h)
the rights of the shares of that series in the event of voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, and the relative rights of priority, if any, of payment of shares of that series; and
(i)
any other relative participating, optional or other special rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions of that series.
4.5
Any Preference Shares of any series which have been redeemed (whether through the operation of a sinking fund or otherwise) or which, if convertible or exchangeable, have been converted into or exchanged for shares of any other class or classes shall have the status of authorised and unissued Preference Shares of the same series and may be reissued as a part of the series of which they were originally a part or may be reclassified and reissued as part of a new series of Preference Shares to be created by resolution or resolutions of the Board or as part of any other series of Preference Shares, all subject to the conditions and the restrictions on issuance set forth in the

resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board providing for the issue of any series of Preference Shares.
4.6
At the discretion of the Board, whether or not in connection with the issuance and sale of any shares or other securities of the Company, the Company may issue securities, contracts, warrants or other instruments evidencing any shares, option rights, securities having conversion or option rights, or obligations on such terms, conditions and other provisions as are fixed by the Board, including, without limiting the generality of this authority, conditions that preclude or limit any person or persons owning or offering to acquire a specified number or percentage of the issued Common Shares, other shares, option rights, securities having conversion or option rights, or obligations of the Company or transferee of the person or persons from exercising, converting, transferring or receiving the shares, option rights, securities having conversion or option rights, or obligations.
4.7 (a) The voting power of all shares is hereby adjusted (and shall be automatically adjusted in the future) to the extent necessary so that there is no 9.5% U.S. Shareholder or 9.5% Direct Foreign Shareholder Group. The Board shall implement the foregoing in the manner provided herein; provided, that the foregoing provision and the remainder of this Bye-law 4.7 shall not apply in the event that one Member of the Company owns greater than 75% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company.
(b)
The Board shall from time to time, including prior to any time at which a vote of Members is taken, take all reasonable steps, including those specified in Bye-law 4.9, necessary to ascertain, through communications with Members or otherwise, whether there exists, or will exist at the time any vote of Members is taken, a Tentative 9.5% U.S. Shareholder or a Tentative 9.5% Direct Foreign Shareholder Group.
(c)
In the event that a Tentative 9.5% U.S. Shareholder exists, (i) the aggregate votes conferred by Common Shares held by a Member and treated as Controlled Shares of that Tentative 9.5% U.S. Shareholder shall be reduced to the extent necessary such that the combined voting power conferred by the Common Shares and the voting power that would be conferred by the Common Shares into which the Series B Non-Voting Common Shares are then convertible, in each case that are treated as Controlled Shares of the Tentative 9.5% U.S. Shareholder, will constitute 9.5% of the voting power of all Common Shares (taking into account the reduction effected by clause (ii) of this Bye-law 4.7(c)) and (ii) the aggregate votes conferred by the Common Shares held by GSCP and its affiliates and treated as Controlled Shares of such Members shall be correspondingly reduced to the extent necessary such that the ratio of (x) the voting power represented by the sum of (A) the votes conferred by such Common Shares and (B) the votes that would be conferred by any Common Shares into which the Series B Non-Voting Common Shares are then convertible to (y) the voting power of all Common Shares (taking into account the reduction effected by clause (i) of this Bye-law 4.7(c)) is not greater than the ratio as if the adjustment described in clause (i) of this Bye-law 4.7(c) had not occurred. In applying the previous sentence where shares held by more than one Member are treated as Controlled Shares of such Tentative 9.5% U.S. Shareholder, the reduction in votes shall apply to such Members in descending order according to their respective Attribution Percentages, provided, that in the event of a tie, the reduction shall apply first to the Member whose shares are Controlled Shares of the Tentative 9.5% U.S. Shareholder by virtue of the Tentative 9.5% U.S. Shareholder’s economic interest in (as opposed to voting control with respect to) such shares. The adjustments of voting power described in this Bye-law shall apply repeatedly until there is no 9.5% U.S. Shareholder. The Board may deviate from any of the principles described in this Bye-law and determine that shares held by a Member shall carry different voting rights as it determines appropriate (1) to avoid the existence of any 9.5% U.S. Shareholder or (2) to avoid adverse tax, legal or regulatory consequences to the Company, any subsidiary of the Company, or any other Member or its affiliates. For the avoidance of doubt, in applying the provisions of Bye-laws 4.7 through 4.10, a share may carry a fraction of a vote. In the event any Non-Voting Convertible Common Shares of any registered holder are entitled to vote on any matter under Bermuda law (including, but not limited to, any Reorganization Event), such shares shall be deemed for purposes of this Bye-law 4.7(c) to be that number of Common Shares into which such Non-Voting Convertible Common Shares may be converted upon a qualified transfer, and the

voting power adjustments set forth in this Bye-law 4.7(c) shall apply to Common Shares and such Non-Voting Convertible Common Shares, collectively, on such basis. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the aggregate voting power of the holders of Series C Non-Voting Common Shares and Series D Non-Voting Common Shares with respect to any merger, consolidation or amalgamation of the Company with another corporation or other entity shall in no event exceed 0.01% of the aggregate voting power of the Company’s issued share capital, and this sentence shall not be amended without the affirmative vote (or written consent) of the holders representing a majority of each of the Series C Non-Voting Common Shares and Series D Non-Voting Common Shares. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the aggregate voting power of the holders of Series E Non-Voting Common Shares with respect to any merger, consolidation or amalgamation of the Company with another corporation or other entity shall in no event exceed 0.01% of the aggregate voting power of the Company’s issued share capital, and this sentence shall not be amended without the affirmative vote (or written consent) of the holders representing a majority of each of the Series E Non-Voting Common Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, the voting power adjustments set forth in this Bye-law 4.7(c) shall not apply to the voting rights set forth in Bye-law 4.3(c). (d) Immediately after completing the adjustment of voting power provided for in Bye-law 4.7(c), in the event that a Tentative 9.5% Direct Foreign Shareholder Group exists, the aggregate votes conferred by shares held by the Tentative 9.5% Direct Foreign Shareholder Group shall be reduced to the extent necessary to cause such Shareholder or Shareholders to no longer constitute a 9.5% Direct Foreign Shareholder Group.
(d)
“9.5% Direct Foreign Shareholder Group” means a shareholder that is not a U.S. Person or a group of commonly controlled shareholders that are not U.S. Persons, in either case who owns shares that constitute more than nine and one-half percent (9.5%) of the voting power of all shares of the Company and that are attributable to a U.S. Person under Section 958 of the Code.
(e)

(h)
“Tentative 9.5% U.S. Shareholder” means a U.S. Person that, but for adjustments to the voting rights of shares pursuant to Bye-laws 4.7 through 4.8, would be a 9.5% U.S. Shareholder.

4.7
[Intentionally omitted.]
4.8
In addition to the provisions of Bye-law 4.7, anyAny shares shall not carry any right to vote to the extent that the Board of Directors determines, in its reasonable discretion, that it is necessary that such shares should not carry the right to vote in order to avoid adverse tax, legal or regulatory consequences to the Company, any subsidiary of the Company, or any other Member or its affiliates, provided, that no adjustment pursuant to this sentence shall cause any person to become a 9.5% U.S. Shareholder or a 9.5% Direct Foreign Shareholder Group.

Prior to granting access to the Confidential Information to any such persons, the Company shall inform them of the information’s confidential nature and of the provisions of this Bye-law 4.10 and shall require them to abide by all the provisions hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall be permitted to disclose to the Members and others the relative voting percentages of the Members after application of Bye-laws 4.74.8 through 4.10. At the written request of a Member, the Confidential Information of such Member shall be destroyed or returned to such Member after the later to occur of (i) such Member no longer being a Member or (ii) the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations with respect to any Confidential Information obtained for purposes of engaging in any tax related analysis.
(c)

(e)

The Board may differentiate between the holders as to the amount of calls to be paid and the times of payment of such calls.
5.2
Any sum which by the terms of allotment of a share becomes payable upon issue or at any fixed date, whether on account of the nominal value of the share or by way of premium, shall for all the purposes of these Bye-laws be deemed to be a call duly made and payable, on the date on which, by the terms of issue, the same becomes payable, and in case of non-payment all the relevant provisions of these Bye-laws as to payment of interest, costs, charges and expenses, forfeiture or otherwise shall apply as if such sum had become payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.
5.3
The joint holders of a share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all calls in respect thereof.

11.    Registered Holder Absolute Owner.

An instrument of transfer shall be in writing in the form of the following, or as near thereto as circumstances admit, or in such other form as the Board may accept:

DATED this [ ] day of [ ], 20[ ]
Signed by:    In the presence of:
            
Transferor                Witness
Transferee        Witness    
12.2
Such instrument of transfer shall be signed by or on behalf of the transferor and transferee, provided that, in the case of a fully paid share, the Board may accept the instrument signed by or on behalf of the transferor alone. The transferor shall be deemed to remain the holder of such share until the same has been transferred to the transferee in the Register of Members.
12.3
The Board may refuse to recognise any instrument of transfer unless it is accompanied by the certificate in respect of the shares to which it relates and by such other evidence as the Board may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer.

12.6
Shares may be transferred without a written instrument if transferred by an appointed agent or otherwise in accordance with the Act.
12.7 (a)
The Directors may decline to register any transfer of shares if it appears to the Directors, in their reasonable discretion, after taking into account, among other things, the limitation on voting rights contained in these Bye-laws, that any non-de minimis adverse tax, regulatory or legal consequence to the Company, any subsidiary of the Company, or any other holder of shares or its Affiliates would result from such transfer (including if such consequence arises as a result of any such U.S. Person owning Controlled Shares that constitute 9.5% or more of the value of the Company or the voting shares of the Company (but subject to the provisions of Bye-laws 4.7 through 4.10)). The Directors shall have the authority to reasonably request from any holder of shares, and such holder of shares shall provide, such information as the Directors may reasonably request for the purpose of determining whether any transfer should be permitted.
(b)
Subject to any applicable requirements of the Nasdaq NationalStock Market or other applicable quotation system or exchange, the Directors (a) may decline to register any transfer of shares, unless (i) a written opinion from counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company shall have been obtained to the effect that registration of such shares under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, is not required or (ii) an effective registration statement under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, is in place covering the shares to be transferred and (b) shall decline to register any transfer of shares if the transferee shall not have been approved by applicable governmental authorities if such approval is required in respect of such transfer.
(c)

13.    Transmission of Registered Shares
13.1
In the case of the death of a Member, the survivor or survivors where the deceased Member was a joint holder, and the legal personal representatives of the deceased Member where the deceased Member was a sole holder, shall be the only persons recognised by the Company as having any title to the deceased Member’s interest in the shares. Nothing herein contained shall release the estate of a deceased joint holder from any liability in respect of any share which had been jointly held by such deceased Member with other persons. Subject to the provisions of the Act, for the purpose of this Bye-law, legal personal representative means the executor or administrator of a deceased Member or such other person as the Board may, in its reasonable discretion, decide as being properly authorised to deal with the shares of a deceased Member.
13.2
Any person becoming entitled to a share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of any Member may be registered as a Member upon such evidence as the Board may deem sufficient or may elect to nominate some person to be registered as a transferee of such share, and in such case the person becoming entitled shall execute in favour of such nominee an instrument of transfer in writing in the form, or as near thereto as circumstances admit, of the following:
Transfer by a Person Becoming Entitled on Death/Bankruptcy of a Member
Enstar Group Limited (the “Company”)
I/We, having become entitled in consequence of the [death/bankruptcy] of [name and address of deceased/bankrupt Member] to [number] share(s) standing in the Register of Members of the Company in the name of the said [name of deceased/bankrupt Member] instead of being registered myself/ourselves, elect to have [name of transferee] (the “Transferee”) registered as a transferee of such share(s) and I/we do hereby accordingly transfer the said share(s) to the Transferee to hold the same unto the Transferee, his or her executors, administrators and assigns, subject to the conditions on which the same were held at the time of the execution hereof; and the Transferee does hereby agree to take the said share(s) subject to the same conditions.

13.3
On the presentation of the foregoing materials to the Board, accompanied by such evidence as the Board may require to prove the title of the transferor, the transferee shall be registered as a Member. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board shall, in any case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as it would have had in the case of a transfer of the share by that Member before such Member’s death or bankruptcy, as the case may be.
13.4
Where two or more persons are registered as joint holders of a share or shares, then in the event of the death of any joint holder or holders the remaining joint holder or holders shall be absolutely entitled to the said share or shares and the Company shall recognise no claim in respect of the estate of any joint holder except in the case of the last survivor of such joint holders.
13.5
If the Directors in their reasonable discretion determine that share ownership by any person may result in a non-de minimis adverse tax, legal or regulatory consequence to the Company, any subsidiary of the Company, or any other holder of shares or its Affiliates (including if such consequence arises as a result of any such U.S. Person owning Controlled Shares that constitute 9.5% or more of the value of the Company or the voting shares of the Company (but subject to the provisions of Bye-laws 4.7 through 4.10)), the Company will have the option but not the obligation to repurchase or assign to a third party the right to purchase the minimum number of shares held by such person which is necessary to eliminate such non-de minimis adverse tax, legal or regulatory consequence at a price determined in the good faith discretion of the Directors to represent such shares’ fair market value; provided, that (a) if the shares are not traded on a quotation system or securities exchange in or outside the United States, the fair market value per share shall be determined by the Directors without a minority discount and without a liquidity discount or (b) if the shares are traded on a quotation system or securities exchange, the fair market value per share shall be determined by the Directors based on the average of the last sales price per share or if there is none, the average of the bid and asked price per share, without a minority discount and without a liquidity discount, in each case for the eight business days prior to the repurchase date. If a Member disagrees with any price so determined by the Board, the fair market value per share will be determined by an independent appraiser retained by the Company at its expense and reasonably acceptable to such Member.
ALTERATION OF SHARE CAPITAL
14.    Power to Alter Capital
14.1
The Company may if authorised by resolution of the Members increase, divide, consolidate, subdivide, change the currency denomination of, diminish or otherwise alter or reduce its share capital in any manner permitted by the Act.
14.2
Where, on any alteration or reduction of share capital, fractions of shares or some other difficulty would arise, the Board may deal with or resolve the same in such manner as it thinks fit.
15.    Variation of Rights Attaching to Shares
If, at any time, the share capital is divided into different classes of shares, the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class) may, whether or not the Company is being wound-up, be varied with the consent in writing of the holders of three-fourths of the issued shares of that class or with the sanction of a resolution passed by a majority of the votes cast at a separate general meeting of the holders of the shares of the class at which meeting the necessary quorum shall be two persons at least holding

or representing by proxy one-third of the issued shares of the class.

DIVIDENDS AND CAPITALISATION
16.    Dividends
16.1
The Board may, subject to these Bye-laws and in accordance with the Act, declare a dividend to be paid to the Members, in proportion to the number of shares held by them, and such dividend may be paid in cash or wholly or partly in specie in which case the Board may fix the value for distribution in specie of any assets. No unpaid dividend shall bear interest as against the Company.
16.2
The Board may fix any date as the record date for determining the Members entitled to receive any dividend.
16.3
The Company may pay dividends in proportion to the amount paid up on each share where a larger amount is paid up on some shares than on others.

17.    Power to Set Aside Profits

18.    Method of Payment
18.1
Any dividend or other monies payable in respect of a share may be paid by cheque or warrant sent through the post directed to the address of the Member in the Register of Members (in the case of joint Members, the senior joint holder, seniority being determined by the order in which the names stand in the Register of Members), or by direct transfer to such bank account as such Member may direct. Every such cheque shall be made payable to the order of the person to whom it is sent or to such persons as the Member may direct, and payment of the cheque or warrant shall be a good discharge to the Company. Every such cheque or warrant shall be sent at the risk of the person entitled to the money represented thereby. If two or more persons are registered as joint holders of any shares any one can give an effectual receipt for any dividend paid in respect of such shares.

and cease to remain owing by the Company. The payment of any unclaimed dividend or other moneys payable in respect of a share may (but need not) be paid by the Company into an account separate from the Company’s own account. Such payment shall not constitute the Company a trustee in respect thereof.
18.4
The Company shall be entitled to cease sending dividend cheques and warrants by post or otherwise to a Member if those instruments have been returned undelivered to, or left uncashed by, that Member on at least two consecutive occasions, or, following one such occasion, reasonable enquiries have failed to establish the Member’s new address. The entitlement conferred on the Company by this Bye-law 18.4 in respect of any Member shall cease if the Member claims a dividend or cashes a dividend cheque or warrant.
19.    Capitalisation
19.1
The Board may resolve to capitalise any sum for the time being standing to the credit of any of the Company’s share premium or other reserve accounts or to the credit of the profit and loss account or otherwise available for distribution by applying such sum in paying up unissued shares to be allotted as fully paid bonus shares pro-rata (except in connection with the conversion of shares of one class to shares of another class) to the Members.
19.2
The Board may resolve to capitalise any sum for the time being standing to the credit of a reserve account or sums otherwise available for dividend or distribution by applying such amounts in paying up in full partly paid or nil paid shares of those Members who would have been entitled to such sums if they were distributed by way of dividend or distribution.
