UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
        The following unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial information is intended to provide you with information about how the acquisition of Flagstone Reinsurance Holdings, S.A. ("Flagstone") might have affected the historical financial statements of Validus Holdings, Ltd. ("Validus") if it had been consummated at earlier times. The unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial information is for illustrative purposes only and has been prepared by Validus' management, after discussion with Flagstone's management, and is based on Validus' historical consolidated financial statements and Flagstone's historical consolidated financial statements. Certain amounts from Flagstone's historical consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the Validus presentation. The following unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial information does not necessarily reflect the financial position or results of operations that would have actually resulted had the acquisition occurred as of the dates indicated, nor should they be taken as necessarily indicative of the future financial position or results of operations of Validus or a combined company.
        The unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial information should be read in conjunction with Validus' Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 (the "Validus 10-Q"), Validus' Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 (the "Validus 10-K"), Flagstone's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, and Flagstone's 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, each as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. The unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial information gives effect to the proposed acquisition as if it had occurred at June 30, 2012 for the purposes of the unaudited consolidated pro forma balance sheet and at January 1, 2011 for the purposes of the unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2011 and the six months ended June 30, 2012.
This pro forma information is subject to risks and uncertainties, including those discussed in the Validus 10-Q and the Validus 10-K under the captain "Risk Factors" and "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements."

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Pro Forma Financial Statements
(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and per share data)
1.     Basis of Presentation
        The unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial information gives effect to the proposed acquisition as if it had occurred at June 30, 2012 for the purposes of the unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma balance sheet and at January 1, 2011 for the purposes of the unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2011 and six months ended June 30, 2012. The unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial information is for illustrative purposes only and has been prepared by Validus' management, after discussion with Flagstone's management, and is based on Validus' historical consolidated financial statements and Flagstone's historical consolidated financial statements.
        This unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial information is prepared in conformity with United States Generally Acceptable Accounting Principles ("US GAAP"). The unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma balance sheet as of June 30, 2012 and the unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2011 and the six month period ended June 30, 2012 have been prepared using the following information:
(a)
Audited historical consolidated financial statements of Validus as of December 31, 2011 and for the year ended December 31, 2011;

(b)
Audited historical consolidated financial statements of Flagstone as of December 31, 2011 and for the year ended December 31, 2011;

(c)
Unaudited historical consolidated financial statements of Validus as of June 30, 2012 and for the six months ended June 30, 2012;

(d)
Unaudited historical consolidated financial statements of Flagstone as of June 30, 2012 and for the six months ended June 30, 2012; and

(e)
Such other known supplementary information as considered necessary to reflect the acquisition in the unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial information.
        The pro forma adjustments reflecting the acquisition under the acquisition method of accounting are based on certain estimates and assumptions. The unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma adjustments may be revised as additional information becomes available. The actual adjustments upon acquisition and the allocation of the final purchase price will depend on a number of factors, including additional financial information available at such time, changes in values and changes in Flagstone's operating results between the date of preparation of this unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial information and the effective date of acquisition. Therefore, it is likely that the actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments and it is possible the differences may be material. Validus' management believes that its assumptions provide a reasonable basis for presenting all of the significant effects of the transactions contemplated based on information available to Validus at the time and that the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial information.
        The unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial information does not include any financial benefits, revenue enhancements or operating expense efficiencies arising from the acquisition.
        Estimated costs of the transaction as well as the benefit of the negative goodwill have been reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma balance sheet, but have not been included on the pro forma income statement due to their non-recurring nature.
        The unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial information is not intended to reflect the results of operations or the financial position that would have resulted had the acquisition been effected on the dates indicated and if the companies had been managed as one entity. The unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial information should be read in conjunction with the Validus 10-Q, the Validus 10-K, the Flagstone 10-Q and the Flagstone 10-K, as filed with the SEC.
2.     Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11, "Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities" ("ASU 2011-11"). The objective of ASU 2011-11 is to enhance disclosures by requiring improved information about financial instruments and derivative instruments in relation to netting arrangements. ASU 2011-11 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance; however, since this update affects disclosures only, it is not expected to have a material impact on Validus' consolidated financial statements. 
In July 2012, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-02, "Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment" ("ASU 2012-02"). The objective of ASU 2012-02 is to simplify how entities test intangibles for impairment. The amendments permit an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment described in ASC Topic 350 "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - General Intangibles Other than Goodwill." The amendments are effective





for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim impairment tests performed as of a date before July 27, 2012, if a public entity's financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued. The Company has evaluated the impact of this guidance and has concluded that it will not have a material impact on Validus' consolidated financial statements.
3.     Purchase Adjustments
On August 30, 2012 Validus and Flagstone announced that the Boards of Directors of both Validus and Flagstone had approved a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger pursuant to which Validus will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Flagstone. Under the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, Flagstone shareholders will receive 0.1935 Validus voting common shares and $2.00 in cash for each Flagstone share.
In connection with the acquisition, transaction costs currently estimated at $20,000 will be incurred and expensed.
As discussed above, these pro forma purchase adjustments are based on certain estimates and assumptions made as of the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial information. The actual adjustments will depend on a number of factors, including further review of Flagstone's books and records, and changes in the estimated fair value of net balance sheet assets and operating results of Flagstone between June 30, 2012 and the date of the consummation of acquisition. Validus expects to make such adjustments at such time. These adjustments are likely to be different from the adjustments made to prepare the unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial information and such differences may be material.
        The share prices for both Validus and Flagstone used in determining the preliminary estimated purchase price are based on the closing share prices on August 29, 2012. The preliminary total purchase price is calculated as follows:

(a)
In connection with the exchange offer, 14,302,018 Validus Shares are expected to be issued for all Flagstone Shares and Flagstone Shares issued following vesting of restricted shares, restricted share units and performance share units resulting in additional share capital of $2,503 and additional paid-in capital of $472,896.
        
(b)
In addition to the cash consideration of $147,824, it is expected that total transaction costs currently estimated at $20,000 will be incurred by the consolidated entity. Based on an expected investment return of 1.87% for Validus and 2.00% for Flagstone per annum, investment income of $3,158 would have been foregone during the year ended December 31, 2011 had these payments of $167,861 been made. Based on an expected investment return of 1.69% for Validus and 2.00% for Flagstone per annum, investment income of $1,441 would have been foregone during the six months ended June 30, 2012 had these payments of $167,824 been made. In addition, an adjustment of $20,000 was made to retained earnings at June 30, 2012 to reflect the transaction costs.

(c)
Elimination of Flagstone ordinary shares of common stock of $845, treasury shares of $150,202, additional paid-in capital of $857,714, accumulated other comprehensive loss of $12,788 and retained earnings of $141,091.

(d)
The unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial statements has been prepared by Validus' management, after discussion with Flagstone's management, and is based on Validus' historical consolidated financial statements and Flagstone's historical consolidated financial statements. With the exception of notes 3(e), 3(f) and 3(g) below, the carrying value of assets and liabilities in Flagstone's financial





statements are considered to be a proxy for fair value of those assets and liabilities, with the difference between the net assets and the total purchase price considered to be negative goodwill. Pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, "Business Combinations" ("ASC 805"), a bargain purchase is defined as a business combination in which the total fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired on the date of acquisition exceeds the fair value of the consideration transferred plus any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, and it requires the acquirer to recognize that excess in earnings as a gain attributable to the acquirer. Negative goodwill of $78,241 has been recorded as a credit to retained earnings as upon completion of the acquisition of Flagstone Shares negative goodwill will be treated as a gain in the consolidated statement of operations.

(e)
It is expected that an additional reserve of $76,300 will be required to harmonize Flagstone's reserving methodology with Validus'. This charge to the balance sheet of $76,300 has been recorded as a reduction to retained earnings.

(f)
On August 20, 2012, Flagstone announced that it completed the sale of its Lloyd's segment for approximately $49,700 million in cash. Adjusting the June 30, 2012 balance for this sale results in Accounts payable of $10,143 and a gain of approximately $1,000 as an increase in retained earnings. This would also result in the elimination of Assets held for sale including discontinued operations of $430,601 and Liabilities of discontinued operations held for sale of $392,044.

(g)
Following a review of Flagstone's books and records and discussion with Flagstone's management, it was determined that an additional payable of $25,037 should be recognized to reflect the costs of winding up certain parts of Flagstone's operations. In addition, a credit of $33,159 to Other Assets and $1,700 to Assets held for sale including discontinued operations was recorded to reflect the realizable value of Flagstone's tangible assets. A reduction to retained earnings in the amount of $59,896 was made to reflect these fair value adjustments.
4.     Adjustments to Cash and Cash Equivalents
        The acquisition of Flagstone Shares will result in the payment of cash and cash equivalents by Flagstone of $15,000 and by Validus of $152,824, reflecting aggregate cash consideration of $147.824 and estimated transaction expenses of $5,000.
        The unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma statements of operations reflect the impact of these reductions in cash and cash equivalents. Actual transaction costs may vary from such estimates which are based on the best information available at the time the unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial information was prepared.
        For purposes of presentation in the unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial information, the sources and uses of funds of the acquisition are as follows:

6.     Earnings per Validus Share
        (a)   Pro forma earnings per common share for the year ended December 31, 2011 and the six months ended June 30, 2012 have been calculated based on the estimated weighted average number of common shares outstanding on a pro forma basis, as described in 6(b) below. The historical weighted average number of outstanding Validus Shares was 98,607,439 and 100,928,284 basic and diluted, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2011 and 98,839,663 and 104,382,030 basic and diluted, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2012.
        (b)   The pro forma weighted average number of Validus Shares outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2011 and six months ended June 30, 2012, after giving effect to the exchange of shares as if the Exchange Offer had been issued and outstanding for the whole year, is 112,230,004 and 112,230,004, basic and diluted, and 113,141,681 and 119,639,574, basic and diluted, respectively.
        (c)   In the basic earnings per share calculation, dividends and distributions declared on warrants are deducted from net income. In calculating diluted earnings per share, we consider the application of the treasury stock method and the two-class method and whichever is more dilutive is included into the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

7.     Book Value per Share
        Validus calculates diluted book value per share using the "as-if-converted" method, where all proceeds received upon exercise of warrants and stock options would be retained by Validus and the resulting common shares from exercise remain outstanding. Flagstone's diluted book value per share has been calculated based on the "as-if-converted" method consistent with Flagstone's presentation of diluted book value per share and Validus' calculation.
