Risk Change Over Time
- Environmental / Social - Risk 1Our business may be subject to affected by governmental and societal responses to climate change which could affect our profitability. climate-related matters.
In addition to the potential impacts that environmental events may have on our business, there are also risks to our business related to a transition to a lower carbon economy, including increased governmental and regulatory scrutiny related to climate-related risk and greenhouse gas emissions. Our investment assets may be affected by market shifts away from carbon-intensive sectors, increased costs of greenhouse gases, and reduced profitability in sectors that produce or rely on carbon-based fuels, or by societal or market shifts related to these trends. Additionally, demand for insurance coverage could be negatively impacted to the extent that carbon-intensive businesses are impacted by this transition, and claims and losses related to those industries could increase, either of which could have a material negative effect on our business and results of operations. Climate-related concerns have led, and may continue to lead, to new regulatory responses. New laws and regulations relating to sustainability and climate-related matters have been adopted and continue to be considered in various jurisdictions. These laws and regulations include specific disclosure requirements or obligations, that may result in additional investments and implementation of new practices and reporting processes, all entailing additional compliance costs and risk. For example, various jurisdictions are in the process of implementing the International Sustainability Standards Board requirements which requires enhanced disclosure of climate and sustainability-related risks, opportunities and impacts. This directive, along with other current or proposed regulations, could significantly increase compliance burdens and associated regulatory costs and complexity.

Risk Factors Full Breakdown - Total Risks 35
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1Some aspects of our corporate structure may discourage third-party takeovers and other transactions or prevent the removal of our current board of directors and management.
Some provisions of our bye-laws may discourage third parties from making unsolicited takeover bids or prevent the removal of our current board of directors and management. In particular, our bye-laws prohibit transfers of our capital shares if the transfer would result in a person owning or controlling shares that constitute 9.9% or more of any class or series of our shares, unless otherwise waived at the discretion of the Board. In addition, our bye-laws reduce the total voting power of any shareholder owning, directly or indirectly, beneficially or otherwise, more than 9.9% of our common shares to not more than 9.9% of the total voting power of our shares unless otherwise waived at the discretion of the Board. These provisions may make it more difficult to acquire control of us by means of a tender offer, open market purchase, proxy contest or otherwise and could discourage a prospective acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, even if our shareholders might deem such transactions to be in their best interests. As a result, these provisions could limit the ability of shareholders to realize takeover premiums for their shares or depress the market price of the shares. In addition, our bye-laws provide for, among other things: - a classified Board, whose size is generally fixed and whose members may be removed by the shareholders only for cause upon a 66 2/3% vote;- restrictions on the ability of shareholders to nominate persons to serve as directors, submit resolutions to a shareholder vote and requisition special general meetings;- a large number of authorized but unissued shares which may be issued by the Board without further shareholder action; and - a 66 2/3% shareholder vote to amend, repeal or adopt any provision inconsistent with several provisions of the bye-laws. Some jurisdictions in which our insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries operate have laws and regulations that require regulatory approval of a change in control of an insurer or an insurer's holding company. Where such laws apply to us and our subsidiaries, there can be no effective change in our control unless the person seeking to acquire control has filed a statement with the regulators and has obtained prior approval for the proposed change from such regulators. Under these laws, control is typically presumed when a person acquires, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the voting power of the insurance company or its parent, although this presumption is rebuttable.
