Everest Group, Ltd. 69 Reinsurance business description Reinsurance Segment Our reinsurance segment writes worldwide property and casualty reinsurance and specialty lines of business on both a treaty, facultative and large corporate risk basis. Contracts can be written on a proportional ("pro-rata") or non-proportional ("excess of loss") basis. Pro-Rata contracts indemnify the reinsured for a percentage of losses in exchange for the same percentage of premium charged for the covered insurance contracts issued by the ceding company. Excess of loss ("XOL"), including stop loss, contracts indemnify the reinsured against a portion of losses related to specific claim event(s), generally subject to a deductible and a limit of coverage. Premiums collected for XOL contracts are not directly proportional to premiums collected by the reinsured.

Casualty Pro Rata: Predominantly contracts providing coverage to cedents for losses arising from, but not limited to, general liability, professional indemnity, product liability, workers' compensation, employers liability, aviation and auto liability from their underlying portfolio of policies at an agreed upon percentage for both premium and loss.
