Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information and Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

This presentation may include statements which may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws. These statements are not historical facts but instead represent only Transatlantic Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries’ (collectively, “TRH”) belief regarding future events and financial performance, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside of TRH’s control. These statements may address, among other things, TRH’s strategy and expectations for growth, product development, government and industry regulatory actions, legal matters, financial, credit and industry market conditions, financial results and reserves, as well as the expected impact on TRH of natural and man-made (e.g., terrorist attacks) catastrophic events and political, economic, legal and social conditions. It is possible that TRH’s actual results, financial condition and expected outcomes may differ, possibly materially, from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

Please refer to the Transatlantic Holdings, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 and the Transatlantic Holdings, Inc. Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 as well as Transatlantic Holdings, Inc.’s future filings and reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission for a description of the business environment in which TRH operates and important factors, risks and uncertainties that may affect its business and financial results. TRH is not under any obligation to (and expressly disclaims any such obligations to) update or alter its forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

The financial information in this financial supplement includes performance measures called Net Operating Income (“NOI”), NOI Per Common Share (diluted) and Annualized Operating Return on Equity (“Annualized Operating ROE”) which are based on a methodology other than generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). NOI is defined as GAAP net income excluding realized net capital (losses) gains and gain on early extinguishment of debt, net of taxes. NOI Per Common Share (diluted) represents NOI divided by Average Common Shares Outstanding on a diluted basis. GAAP annualized return on equity is defined as GAAP net income divided by the average of beginning and ending stockholders’ equity multiplied by four (for the three month periods) or two (for the six month periods). Annualized Operating ROE is defined as NOI divided by the average of beginning and ending stockholders’ equity multiplied by four (for the three month periods) or two (for the six month periods). TRH uses these measures in analyzing its performance as these measures focus on the core fundamentals of the Company’s operations. While TRH considers realized capital gains and losses and the gain on early extinguishment of debt as an integral part of its business and results, such items are not indicative of the core fundamentals of the Company’s operations. TRH believes these measures are of interest to the investment community because they provide additional meaningful methods of evaluating certain aspects of TRH’s operating performance from period to period on bases that are not otherwise apparent under GAAP. These non-GAAP measures, namely, NOI, NOI Per Common Share (diluted) and Annualized Operating ROE should not be viewed as substitutes for GAAP net income, GAAP net income percommon share and GAAP annualized return on equity, respectively. Reconciliations of NOI, NOI Per Common Share (diluted) and Annualized Operating ROE to GAAP net income, GAAP net income per common share on a diluted basis and GAAP annualized return on equity, respectively, the most directly comparable GAAP measures, are included on page 24.
