For Immediate Release

Majestic Capital, Ltd. Announces Third Quarter Results,

Proposed Settlement With the State of New York,

Reverse Share Split and Consent Solicitation of Trust Preferred Securities

HAMILTON, Bermuda, November 3, 2010 – Majestic Capital, Ltd. (the “Company”) (Nasdaq: MAJC), a specialty provider of workers’ compensation insurance products and services, announced results for the quarter ended September 30, 2010.

For the third quarter of 2010, the Company incurred a net loss from continuing operations of $8.0 million, or $(0.47) per diluted share, compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $15.7 million, or $(0.93) per diluted share, for the same period in 2009. Unless otherwise stated, all further results discussed in this release refer to continuing operations for 2010 and results on a comparable basis for 2009. The number of outstanding shares and per share information in this press release and in the attached financial statements have not been adjusted for the 1-for-10 reverse split of the Company’s common and Class B shares described below.

Total revenues in the third quarter of 2010 were $16.2 million, compared to $21.8 million in the same quarter of the prior year. Net premiums earned for the third quarter of 2010 decreased 22% to $13.5 million from $17.3 million for 2009. This decrease resulted primarily from the December 2009 downgrade of Majestic Insurance Company’s A.M. Best Company, Inc. financial strength rating to a level unacceptable to certain potential insureds and competitive market conditions, particularly in California.

The Company’s net investment income decreased 23% to $2.7 million for the third quarter of 2010 from $3.5 million in 2009 due to a decrease in net realized gains recognized during the third quarter of 2010 compared to 2009, a decline in the amount of invested assets and a lower investment yield on the Company’s available-for-sale portfolio.

Total expenses for the third quarter of 2010 decreased 11% to $25.9 million from $29.1 million for 2009.

The Company’s loss and loss adjustment expense ratio for the third quarter of both 2010 and 2009 was 99%. During the third quarter of 2010, the Company recognized $0.1 million of favorable development of prior years’ loss reserve estimates, compared to $1.4 million of unfavorable development of prior years’ loss reserve estimates in 2009.

Total underwriting and acquisition expenses for the third quarter of 2010 were $8.3 million compared to $7.2 million for the same period in 2009. The expense ratio for the third quarter of 2010 was 62% compared to 42% in 2009, primarily due to the effects of the reduction in net earned premiums. For the third quarter of 2010, general and administrative expenses decreased 19% to $3.0 million from $3.7 million in 2009. The combined ratio for the third quarter 2010 was 161% compared to 141% in 2009.

At September 30, 2010, the overall credit rating of the Company’s fixed income portfolio was AA. The Company’s average portfolio yield on available-for-sale investments was 3.7% as at September 30, 2010, compared to 3.6% as at December 31, 2009. The Company’s effective portfolio duration was 3.7 years as at September 30, 2010.

As announced on September 21, 2010, the Company has entered into a definitive merger and amalgamation agreement with Bayside Equity Partners LLC (formerly known as Bayside Capital Partners LLC)(“Bayside”), pursuant to which Bayside will acquire the Company for $0.45 per share in cash. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2011 and is subject to the approval of the Company’s shareholders, regulatory approvals, adoption of certain amendments to the governing documents of the Company’s Trust Preferred Securities, modification of the Company’s lease for office space in Poughkeepsie, New York on terms that are acceptable to Bayside, and other customary closing conditions.

Proposed Settlement with the State of New York

After extensive negotiations over an 11 month period, on September 30, 2010, the Company and the New York State Office of Attorney General and the New York State Workers’ Compensation Board, which are collectively referred to as the “State of New York,” entered into a memorandum of understanding outlining a proposed settlement with the State of New York on the following terms and conditions:

the Company will pay $4.6 million in cash to the State of New York;

the Company’s errors and omissions insurance carrier will pay $2.5 million to the State of New York;

the Company will turn over to the State of New York $4.1 million the Company has not yet paid under severance agreements with its former co-chief executive officers;

certain of the Company’s current directors and current and former officers will assign to the State of New York the proceeds received on the sale of an aggregate of 1.2 million common shares of the Company owned by such persons;

the Company will commute, on an undiscounted basis, its loss reserves currently held on excess insurance policies the Company issued to four of the self-insured groups previously managed by Compensation Risk Managers, LLC (“CRM”);

the Company will forego its rights to disclaim coverage and/or impose penalties for late notice for certain claims arising under certain excess insurance policies the Company issued to the self-insured groups previously managed by CRM; and

the Company will adjust the attachment points and increase policy limits on certain aggregate insurance polices the Company issued to certain self-insured groups previously managed by CRM.

The completion of the settlement is subject to the following conditions:

approval of the California Department of Insurance and the Bermuda Monetary Authority;

negotiation and execution of one or more definitive settlement agreements;

releases granted in favor of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates by the State of New York, the self-insured groups previously managed by CRM, all members of the self-insured groups previously managed by CRM and any party related to any of foregoing; and

other customary conditions.

If completed, the proposed settlement will resolve the claims by the State of New York and certain lawsuits that are described in Note 12 of the Notes to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2010.

The Company recorded a reserve of $4.6 million in discontinued operations during the quarter ended September 30, 2010 for the amount to be paid by the Company to the State of New York, and except for legal fees to complete the settlement, the Company does not expect to incur further charges as a result of the proposed settlement. The memorandum of understanding values the proposed settlement at approximately $41 million.

There can be no assurance that the Company will ultimately enter into any definitive settlement agreement with the State of New York or that the other conditions described above will be satisfied. In such event, the proposed settlement as contemplated by the memorandum of understanding may be terminated. The Company denies all liability with respect to the facts and claims alleged in the investigation and lawsuits. However, because it will eliminate the uncertainty, distraction, burden, and expense of further litigation, the Company has agreed to the terms of the proposed settlement described above.

If the proposed settlement is not completed, the Company intends to defend the investigation and lawsuits vigorously. If this were to occur, these matters, or other claims or lawsuits that may arise later, if decided adversely to or settled by the Company, individually or in the aggregate, could require the Company to pay significant damage amounts and could result in a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Defending such actions would divert financial and management resources and result in a general business disruption, and the Company could continue to suffer from adverse publicity and harm to its reputation, regardless of whether the allegations are valid or whether the Company is ultimately successful in its defense of the action. The Company cannot estimate what impact, if any, the litigation may have on its business reputation, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Reverse Share Split

The Company’s Board of Directors has approved a 1-for-10 reverse share split that will become effective at the close of business tomorrow, November 4. The split-adjusted shares of the Company’s common shares will begin trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market on November 5. The Company’s shares will continue to trade under the symbol “MAJC,” with a “D” added for 20 trading days to signify that the reverse share split has occurred. A new CUSIP number has been assigned to the Company’s common shares as a result of the reverse share split.

At the Company’s Annual General Meeting of Shareholders held on May 5, 2010, shareholders voted to approve a proposal authorizing the Board of Directors, at its discretion, to implement a reverse split at a ratio between 1-for-5 and 1-for-10 of the Company’s common and Class B shares without further action by shareholders, and as authorized, the Board of Directors has elected to effect a reverse split at the ratio of 1-for-10.

The primary objective in effecting a reverse split at this time is to enable the Company to maintain the listing of its common shares on the NASDAQ Capital Market. Failure to maintain the Company’s listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market could significantly impact the transferability and issuance of the Company’s common shares under Bermuda law. In addition, the previously announced Agreement and Plan of Merger and Amalgamation, dated September 21, 2010 (the “Amalgamation Agreement”), among the Company, Bayside and Majestic Acquisition Corp. requires the Company to use reasonable efforts to maintain its listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market during the term of the Amalgamation Agreement.

At the effective time of the reverse share split, every 10 of the Company’s pre-split common and Class B shares, par value $0.01 per share, will automatically be consolidated into 1 post-split common or Class B share, par value $0.10 per share. As a result of the reverse split, the number of outstanding common and Class B shares of the Company will be reduced to approximately 1,665,593 and 39,500, respectively, excluding outstanding grants of restricted shares and subject to adjustment for fractional shares. The reverse share split will not affect any shareholder’s ownership percentage of the Company’s common or Class B shares, except to the limited extent that the reverse split would result in any shareholder owning a fractional share. No fractional shares, or cash in lieu of fractional shares, will be issued in connection with the reverse share split; rather, fractional shares will be rounded up to the nearest whole share.

Trust Preferred Securities Consent Solicitation

Majestic USA Capital, Inc. (“Majestic USA”), the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, has commenced a solicitation of consents (the “Consent Solicitation”) from the holders of its Trust Preferred Securities Due 2036 (the “Trust Preferred Securities”)(CUSIP: 12627NAA5).

The terms and conditions of the consent solicitation are described in the Notice of Consent Solicitation dated November 4, 2010 (the “Notice of Consent Solicitation”). The adoption of the proposed amendments is a condition to the consummation of the amalgamation with Bayside.

The Consent Solicitation is scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 3, 2010 (the “Expiration Time”).
