Exhibit 99.1

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements:
This presentation includes statements about future economic performance, finances, expectations, plans and prospects of Max and Harbor Point, both individually and on a
consolidated basis, that constitute forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking
statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by such statements. For further
information regarding cautionary statements and factors affecting future results of Max, please refer to the most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K (as amended by Max’s Form 
10-K/A on March 12, 2010), Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed subsequent to the Annual Report and other documents filed by Max with the Securities Exchange Commission
(“SEC”) and, in the case of Harbor Point, please refer to the joint proxy statement/prospectus included in the registration statement on Form S-4 filed by Max with the SEC.  These
documents are also available free of charge, in the case of Max, by directing a request to Max through Joe Roberts, Chief Financial Officer, or Susan Spivak Bernstein, Senior Vice
President, Investor Relations, at 441-295-8800 and, in the case of Harbor Point, by directing a request to Gayle Gorman, Senior Vice President, at 441-294-6743.  Neither Max nor
Harbor Point undertakes any obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statement whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.
This presentation contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about
our beliefs, plans or expectations, are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on Max’s or Harbor Point’s current plans, estimates and expectations. Some forward-
looking statements may be identified by use of terms such as “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “project,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “will,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,”
“continue,” and similar words, terms or statements of a future or forward-looking nature. In light of the inherent risks and uncertainties in all forward-looking statements, the inclusion of
such statements in this presentation should not be considered as a representation by Max, Harbor Point or any other person that Max’s or Harbor Point’s objectives or plans, both
individually and on a consolidated basis, will be achieved. A non-exclusive list of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in such forward-looking
statements includes the following: (a) the occurrence of natural or man-made catastrophic events with a frequency or severity exceeding expectations; (b) the adequacy of loss
reserves and the need to adjust such reserves as claims develop over time; (c) the failure of any of the loss limitation methods the parties employ; (d) any lowering or loss of financial
ratings of any wholly owned operating subsidiary; (e) the effect of competition on market trends and pricing; (f) cyclical trends, including with respect to demand and pricing in the
insurance and reinsurance markets; (g) changes in general economic conditions, including changes in interest rates and/or equity values in the United States of America and
elsewhere; and (h) other factors set forth, in the case of Max, in its recent reports on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q and other documents of Max on file with the SEC and, in the case of
Harbor Point, in the joint proxy statement/prospectus included in the registration statement on Form S-4 filed by Max with the SEC. 
Risks and uncertainties relating to the proposed amalgamation include the risks that: (1) the parties will not obtain the requisite shareholder or regulatory approvals for the transaction;
(2) the anticipated benefits of the transaction will not be realized; (3) the parties may not be able to retain key personnel; (4) the conditions to the closing of the proposed amalgamation
may not be satisfied or waived; and (5) the outcome of any legal proceedings to the extent initiated against Max or Harbor Point or its respective directors and officers following the
announcement of the proposed amalgamation is uncertain. These risks, as well as other risks of the combined company and its subsidiaries, may be different from what the companies
expect and each party’s management may respond differently to any of the aforementioned factors.  These risks, as well as other risks associated with the amalgamation, are more
fully discussed in the joint proxy statement/prospectus included in the registration statement on Form S-4 filed by Max with the SEC.  Readers are cautioned not to place undue
reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made.
Additional Information about the Proposed Amalgamation and Where to Find It:
Participants in the Solicitation:
Max and its directors and executive officers may be deemed to be participants in any solicitation of Max’s shareholders in connection with the proposed amalgamation.  Information
about Max’s directors and executive officers is available in Max’s Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on March 12, 2010.
John Berger, Chief Executive Officer and President, and Andrew Cook, Chief Financial Officer, of Harbor Point, may also be deemed to be participants in any solicitation of Max’s
