Explanation of Responses:
( 1)  On June 2, 2013, Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited, a Canadian corporation ("Fairfax"), Fairfax Bermuda Holdings Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Fairfax ("Merger Sub") and American Safety Insurance Holdings, Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company ("ASI") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), pursuant to which, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into ASI (the "Merger"), with ASI surviving the Merger as an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Fairfax.
( 2)  (continued from footnote 1) Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, certain directors and officers of the Company (collectively, the "Signing Stockholders"), each solely in his capacity as stockholder of ASI, entered into Voting Agreements with Fairfax (the "Voting Agreements") with respect to the Shares owned by them. Such Shares (together with any Shares acquired by the Signing Stockholders on or after the date of the Voting Agreements, the "Voting Shares") totaled 1,236,214 (of which 234,913 shares represent options to purchase shares exercisable within 60 days of June 6, 2013) and constituted approximately 12.6% of the total issued and outstanding Shares as of June 6, 2013.
( 3)  (continued from footnote 2) Pursuant to the Voting Agreements, the Signing Stockholders (i) have agreed to vote, or cause to be voted, the Voting Shares in favor of the approval of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, against any action, agreement, transaction or proposal, including any "Acquisition Proposal" as defined in the Merger Agreement that would reasonably be expected to result in a material breach by ASI under the Merger Agreement or a failure of any condition to ASI's obligations thereunder to be satisfied and in favor of any other matter necessary to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and (ii) have granted Fairfax an irrevocable proxy to vote the Voting Shares in accordance with the foregoing if the Signing Stockholders fail to do so.
( 4)  Neither the filing of this Form 3 nor the information contained herein shall be deemed to constitute an affirmation by V. Prem Watsa, 1109519 Ontario Limited, Sixty Two Investment Company Limited, 810679 Ontario Limited or Fairfax (collectively, the "Reporting Persons") that it is the beneficial owner of the Shares referred to herein for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or for any other purpose, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed. For additional information regarding the Voting Agreements and the Merger, see the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with the Securities and Exchange Commission on the date hereof.
