DaVinci intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for

absent registration or an applicable exemption from the
registration requirements under the Securities Act and applicable
state securities laws. The notes were offered and will be sold in a
private placement to qualified institutional buyers in the United
States pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and to
non-U.S. persons in transactions outside the United States pursuant
to Regulation S under the Securities Act. RenaissanceRe owns a
noncontrolling economic interest in its joint venture DaVinci.
Because RenaissanceRe controls a majority of DaVinci’s issued
voting shares, the consolidated financial statements of DaVinci are
included in the consolidated financial statements of RenaissanceRe.
However, RenaissanceRe does not guarantee or provide credit support
for DaVinci and RenaissanceRe’s financial exposure to DaVinci is
limited to its investment in DaVinci’s shares and counterparty
credit risk arising from reinsurance transactions.

solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or
qualification under the securities laws of any such state or
