Item 5.02 Election of Directors; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
On November 17, 2011, Aspen Insurance Holdings Limited (Aspen or the Company) announced
that Mr. Ronald Pressman has been appointed to its Board of Directors (the Board) as a Class III
director. The attached press release, furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K,
provides additional information. Following this appointment, Aspen will have 12 Directors on its
Board. Mr. Pressman will be a member of the Boards Compensation Committee and Investment
Committee. The Board has determined that Mr. Pressman is an independent Director pursuant to the
NYSE Corporate Governance Standards applicable to U.S. domestic issuers, although the Company is
not currently required to meet such standards as it is a foreign private issuer.
Under Aspens Bye-Laws, the appointment of Mr. Pressman will be subject to shareholder vote at
Aspens 2012 Annual General Meeting, at which Mr. Pressman will be standing for election as a Class
III Director. As a non-executive Director, Mr. Pressman is entitled to receive the same level of
fees and benefits as other Aspen non-executive Directors, including for committee appointments. For
additional information, please see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
