RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd. 2026 Long-Term Incentive Plan
At the 2026 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd. (the “Company”) held on May 5, 2026 (the “Annual Meeting”), the Company’s shareholders approved the RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd. 2026 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”). The LTIP replaces the RenaissanceRe First Amended and Restated 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Prior Plan”). The following paragraphs provide a summary of certain terms of the LTIP.
Consistent with the Prior Plan, the purpose of the LTIP is to assist the Company in attracting, retaining, motivating, and rewarding certain employees, officers, directors, and consultants of the Company and its affiliates and promoting the creation of long-term value for shareholders of the Company by closely aligning the interests of such individuals with those of such shareholders.
Under the LTIP, the Company may grant options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance awards, and other stock-based awards. Subject to the terms and conditions of the LTIP, the number of common shares of the Company authorized for grant is 1,250,000 shares plus the number of shares that remained available for future grant under the Prior Plan as of the effectiveness of the LTIP. The LTIP’s share limit will be reduced by the aggregate number of common shares of the Company which become subject to outstanding awards.
The foregoing description of the LTIP does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the LTIP, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
