NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of presentation

These interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of OneBeacon Insurance Group, Ltd. (the "Company" or the "Registrant") and its subsidiaries (collectively, "OneBeacon") and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The Company is an exempted Bermuda limited liability company with U.S.-based underwriting operating companies that are property and casualty insurance writers and a Bermuda-based reinsurance company, Split Rock Insurance, Ltd. ("Split Rock"). OneBeacon offers a wide range of specialty insurance products and services primarily through independent agencies, regional and national brokers, wholesalers and managing general agencies.

OneBeacon is 76.1% owned by White Mountains Insurance Group, Ltd. ("White Mountains"), a holding company whose businesses provide property and casualty insurance, reinsurance and certain other products. The Company's headquarters are located at 26 Reid Street, Hamilton HM 11, Bermuda. The Company's U.S. corporate headquarters are located at 605 North Highway 169, Plymouth, Minnesota 55441 and its registered office is located at Clarendon House, 2 Church Street, Hamilton HM 11, Bermuda.

On December 23, 2014, OneBeacon completed the sale of its run-off business to a subsidiary of Armour Group Holdings Limited (“Armour”). See Note 2—"Acquisitions and Dispositions" and Note 15—"Discontinued Operations." The run-off business included the results of OneBeacon's non-specialty commercial lines business as well as the vast majority of asbestos and environmental reserves (the “Runoff Business,” the sale of which is referred to as the “Runoff Transaction”). The Runoff Business has been presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 and in the consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

OneBeacon's reportable segments are Specialty Products, Specialty Industries and Investing, Financing and Corporate. The Specialty Products segment is comprised of ten active underwriting operating segments, representing an aggregation based on those that offer distinct products and tailored coverages and services to a broad customer base across the United States. The Specialty Industries segment is comprised of six active underwriting operating segments, representing an aggregation based on those that focus on solving the unique needs of a particular customer or industry group. The Investing, Financing and Corporate segment includes the investing and financing activities for OneBeacon on a consolidated basis, and certain other activities conducted through the Company and its intermediate holding company subsidiaries.

All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These interim financial statements include all adjustments considered necessary by management to fairly state the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of OneBeacon. These interim financial statements may not be indicative of financial results for the full year and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Refer to the Company’s 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a complete discussion regarding OneBeacon’s significant accounting policies. Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

Recently Adopted Changes in Accounting Principles

Business Combinations - Measurement Period Adjustments

Effective January 1, 2016, OneBeacon adopted ASU 2015-16, Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments, which requires adjustments to provisional amounts recorded in connection with a business combination that are identified during the measurement period to be recorded in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined, rather than as retroactive adjustments to prior periods. OneBeacon has not recognized any adjustments to estimated purchase accounting amounts for the year to date period ended June 30, 2016 and accordingly, there was no effect to OneBeacon's financial statements upon adoption.

Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

NOTE 1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Fair Value Measurements

Effective January 1, 2016, OneBeacon adopted ASU 2015-07, Fair Value Measurement - Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities that Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent) (ASC 820) which eliminates the requirement to disclose the fair value hierarchy level for investments for which fair value is measured at net asset value ("NAV") using the practical expedient in ASC 820. OneBeacon measures the fair value of its investments in hedge funds and private equity funds using this practical expedient. Upon adoption, these fair value measurements are no longer classified within the fair value hierarchy. Prior year amounts have been modified to conform to the current year's disclosures.

Amendments to Consolidation Analysis

On January 1, 2016, OneBeacon adopted ASU 2015-02, Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis (ASC 810) which amends the guidance for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”). ASU 2015-02 eliminates the separate consolidation guidance for limited partnerships and with it, the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership. In addition, ASU 2015-02 changes the guidance for determining if fee arrangements qualify as variable interests and the effect fee arrangements have on the determination of the primary beneficiary. Adoption of ASU 2015-02 did not affect the consolidation analysis for any of OneBeacon's investments.

Share-Based Compensation Awards

On January 1, 2016, OneBeacon adopted ASU 2014-12, Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period (ASC 718). The new guidance requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that can be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. Compensation cost is to be recognized in the period when it becomes probable the performance target will be achieved in an amount equal to the compensation cost attributable to the periods for which service has been rendered. There was no effect to OneBeacon's financial statements upon adoption.

Debt Issuance Costs

Effective January 1, 2016, OneBeacon adopted ASU 2015-03, Imputation of Interest (ASC 835) which requires debt issuance costs to be presented as a deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt, consistent with the treatment required for debt discounts. The new guidance requires amortization of debt issuance costs to be classified within interest expense and also requires disclosure of the debt's effective interest rate. OneBeacon has applied the guidance retrospectively and as a result has reclassified $1.9 million of debt issuance costs from other assets, reflecting these amounts as reduction from the related debt and has modified its disclosures to include the required effective interest rate on its debt. Adoption of ASU 2015-03 did not have a material impact on OneBeacon's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In addition, effective January 1, 2016, OneBeacon adopted ASU 2015-15, Imputation of Interest (ASC 835), which addresses the presentation and subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements. Adoption of ASU 2015-15 did not have a significant effect on OneBeacon's financial position, results of operations, cash flows, presentation or disclosures.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Credit Losses

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASC 326), which establishes new guidance for the recognition of credit losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost. The new ASU, which applies to financial assets that have the contractual right to receive cash, including reinsurance receivables, requires reporting entities to estimate the credit losses expected over the life of a credit exposure using historical information, current information and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the financial asset. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual periods beginning after January 1, 2020, including interim periods. OneBeacon is evaluating the expected impact of this new guidance.

Stock Compensation

On March 30, 2016, the Board issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (ASC 718) which is intended to simplify certain aspects of the accounting for share-based compensation. The new guidance provides an accounting policy election to account for forfeitures by either applying an assumption, as required under existing guidance, or by recognizing forfeitures when they actually occur. The new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods with early adoption permitted. OneBeacon does not expect a significant effect upon adoption.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

NOTE 1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Leases

On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (ASC 842). The new guidance requires lessees to recognize lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for both operating and financing leases, with the exception of leases with an original term of 12 months or less. Under existing guidance recognition of lease assets and liabilities is not required for operating leases. The lease assets and liabilities to be recognized are both measured initially based on the present value of the lease payments. Under the new guidance, a sale-leaseback transaction must meet the recognition criteria under ASC 606, Revenues in order to be accounted for as sale. The new guidance is effective for OneBeacon for years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods therein. OneBeacon is evaluating the expected impact of this new guidance and available adoption methods.

Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurement

On January 5, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (ASC 825-10). The new guidance requires all equity securities with readily determinable fair values to be measured at fair value with changes therein recognized through current period earnings. In addition, the new ASU simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment, and for impaired equity security investments to be measured at fair value. ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. OneBeacon has taken the fair value election for its portfolio of equity security investments and accordingly, does not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-01 to have a significant impact on its financial statements.

Insurance Contracts

In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-09, Disclosures about Short Duration Contracts (ASC 944) which requires expanded footnote disclosures about loss and loss adjustment expense ("LAE") reserves. Under the new guidance, some disclosures currently presented outside of OneBeacon’s financial statements, such as loss development tables and a reconciliation of loss development data to the loss and LAE reserves reflected on the balance sheet, will become part of the financial statement footnotes. In addition, the loss development tables required to be presented under the new ASU must be presented on a disaggregated basis by accident year rather than by reporting year as currently presented. Some of the expanded disclosures are new requirements, such as the disclosure of reserves for losses incurred but not reported ("IBNR") plus expected development on reported claims, which must be presented by accident year on a disaggregated basis. The new guidance also requires new disclosures about claim frequency data together with descriptions of the approach used to measure that data. Qualitative descriptions of methodologies and assumptions used to develop IBNR estimates must be presented together with the disaggregated amounts of IBNR to which they relate, along with a discussion of any significant changes in methodology and assumptions and the related effect upon the loss reserves. The new guidance will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 with retrospective restatement of prior periods required. OneBeacon will modify its financial statement footnote disclosures to conform to the requirements of ASU 2015-09 upon adoption, including revisions to prior year’s disclosures.

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606), which modifies the guidance for revenue recognition. The scope of the new ASU excludes insurance contracts but is applicable to certain fee arrangements, such as investment management fees. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606), which delayed the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. As a result, the standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is in the process of evaluating the new guidance and has not yet determined the potential effect of adoption on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

NOTE 2. Acquisitions and Dispositions

Crop Business

On July 31, 2015, Monsanto Company sold Climate Crop Insurance Agency ("CCIA"), the third party agency with which OneBeacon previously had an exclusive managing general agency agreement, to an affiliate of AmTrust Financial Services, Inc. ("AmTrust"). As a result of the sale, the Company exited the multiple peril crop insurance ("MPCI") business and its related crop-hail business (collectively, "Crop Business"). As a result of the transaction, OneBeacon and CCIA agreed to an early termination of the existing five year agreement. In connection with the termination of the agreement, OneBeacon received a payment of $3.0 million. Also related to the transaction, OneBeacon withdrew its 2016 Plan of Operations, which previously

authorized it to write MPCI for the 2016 Reinsurance Year, and affiliates of AmTrust agreed to reinsure the Company’s remaining net Crop Business exposure for the 2015 Reinsurance Year under a related 100% quota share reinsurance agreement which, coupled with other transfer and assignment agreements as well as communications with policyholders and agents, had the effect of assumption reinsurance. As a result of this transaction, the Company has no material net exposure related to the Crop Business.

Runoff Business

As described in Note 1—"Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," on December 23, 2014, OneBeacon completed the sale of its Runoff Business to Armour. OneBeacon provided financing in the form of surplus notes issued by Bedivere Insurance Company ("Bedivere"), one of the legal entities transferred as part of the transaction, having a par value of $101.0 million, which had a fair value of $64.9 million on the date of sale. See Note 15—"Discontinued Operations" for further information.

Essentia Insurance Company

Effective January 1, 2013, OneBeacon completed the sale of Essentia Insurance Company ("Essentia"), which wrote the collector cars and boats business, to Markel Corporation. During the first quarter of 2015, the Company recognized in net other revenues (expenses) a $3.7 million negative adjustment to the pre-tax gain on sale of Essentia in connection with an assessment from the Michigan Catastrophic Claims Association payable to Markel Corporation pursuant to the indemnification provisions in the stock purchase agreement governing the sale of Essentia.

Except as described above, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, there were no significant acquisitions or dispositions.

malpractice and general liability insurance for extended care facilities, including assisted living, memory care and continuing care facilities. As a result of the continuing loss activity experienced in this sub-line, an in-depth claim file review was performed which confirmed that the increased case incurred was driven by frequency, especially in the more recent prior accident years, as opposed to other potential considerations such as changes in claims-handling practices. In addition, a thorough actuarial review was completed, including analysis of the results of enhancements made to the predictive model deployed in the senior living sub-line. Adverse financial results were primarily observed in high-risk categories of business and in difficult geographic venues identified by the predictive model data. As a result of these analyses, management increased its best estimate of prior accident year losses, and increased its loss provisions for the current accident year based on the updated actuarial indications. In addition, also within the Healthcare operating segment, there were two large claims within the managed care errors and omissions sub-line related to unexpected outcomes from mediation and extended costs associated with claim defense, which contributed to the unfavorable development in prior accident years. In the six months ended June 30, 2016, Healthcare has recorded $30.0 million of adverse prior year development, which included prior year loss activity recorded in the first quarter of 2016 in the complex risk sub-line, which provides professional liability coverage to hospitals, physicians, and physician groups as well as physicians' extended reporting period coverage.

In addition to Healthcare, but to a lesser extent, Programs also experienced unfavorable development during the three months ended June 30, 2016 primarily as a result of two larger auto-related programs; the total unfavorable development in Healthcare and Programs, along with a few other businesses, was partially offset by favorable development in Financial Services and several other businesses.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, net unfavorable development was driven by Healthcare. In addition, to a lesser extent, unfavorable development in Programs and a few other businesses, was partially offset by favorable development in Technology, Financial Services and Accident, as well as other businesses.

Loss and LAE development—2015

During the three months ended June 30, 2015, OneBeacon experienced no net loss and LAE reserve development on prior accident year reserves, as favorable development from several businesses, most notably Specialty Property and Surety, was offset by unfavorable development primarily due to a large claim in Entertainment and an increase in the frequency of small to medium losses in the Ocean Marine business.

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, OneBeacon experienced $1.8 million of net favorable loss and LAE reserve development on prior accident year reserves, primarily attributable to favorable development from Crop resulting from the 2014 crop year and favorable development in several other businesses, most notably Technology, Specialty Property, Government Risks, and Surety. This favorable development was mostly offset by unfavorable development in Entertainment driven by several large losses and small to mid-sized claims and by losses within the Inland Marine business resulting from a few large claims and, to a lesser extent, from Tuition Reimbursement.

NOTE 4. Reinsurance

In the normal course of business, OneBeacon's insurance subsidiaries seek to limit losses that may arise from catastrophes or other events by reinsuring with third-party reinsurers. OneBeacon remains liable for risks reinsured even if the reinsurer does not honor its obligations under reinsurance contracts.

Reinsurance Treaties

The Company's reinsurance coverage is discussed in Note 4—"Reinsurance" in the Company's 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Except as discussed below, there have been no material changes to the Company's reinsurance coverage from that reported in the 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The Company entered into a 50% quota share reinsurance agreement related to its Financial Institutions business.

Effective May 1, 2016, OneBeacon renewed its property catastrophe reinsurance program through April 30, 2017. The program provides coverage for OneBeacon's property business as well as certain acts of terrorism. Under the program, the first $20.0 million of losses resulting from any single catastrophe are retained, with 100% of the next $110.0 million of losses resulting from the catastrophe being reinsured. Any part of a catastrophe loss in excess of $130.0 million would be retained in full. In the event of a catastrophe, OneBeacon's property catastrophe reinsurance program is reinstated for the remainder of the original contract term by paying a reinstatement premium that is based on the percentage of coverage reinstated and the original property catastrophe coverage premium.

Reinsurance Recoverables

As of June 30, 2016, OneBeacon had reinsurance recoverables on paid losses of $20.7 million and reinsurance recoverables on unpaid losses of $162.8 million. As reinsurance contracts do not relieve OneBeacon of its obligations, collectability of balances due from reinsurers is critical to OneBeacon's financial strength. The following table summarizes Standard & Poor's Financial Services, LLC ("Standard & Poor's") ratings for OneBeacon's reinsurers, excluding industry pools and associations, based upon reinsurance recoverable amounts on paid and unpaid losses and LAE:

NOTE 5. Investment Securities

OneBeacon's invested assets are comprised of securities and other investments held for general investment purposes. Refer to the Company's 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a complete discussion.

OneBeacon classifies its portfolio of fixed maturity investments and common equity securities held for general investment purposes as trading securities. Trading securities are reported at fair value as of the balance sheet date as determined by quoted market prices when available. Realized and change in unrealized investment gains on trading securities are reported, on a pre-tax basis, in total revenues as net realized and change in unrealized investment gains.

Short-term investments consist of money market funds, certificates of deposit and other securities which, at the time of purchase, mature or become available for use within one year. Short-term investments are carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.

Other investments primarily include surplus notes, private equity funds and hedge funds. OneBeacon measures its investments in private equity funds and hedge funds at fair value with changes therein reported in total revenues as net realized and change in unrealized investment gains. Surplus notes provided in conjunction with the financing of the Runoff Transaction are measured at their estimated fair value based on discounted expected cash flows, with changes in fair value reported in total revenues as net realized and change in unrealized investment gains. Other investments also include an investment in a community reinvestment vehicle which is accounted for at fair value, with changes in fair value reported in total revenues as net realized and change in unrealized investment gains and a tax advantaged federal affordable housing development fund which is accounted for under the proportional amortization method.

Prospector Partners, LLC (“Prospector”), was previously the primary manager of OneBeacon's publicly-traded common equity securities portfolio. The Prospector-managed separate accounts were liquidated during the second quarter of 2015, and a Prospector-managed hedge fund was redeemed. As the separate accounts were liquidated, OneBeacon reinvested the majority of the proceeds into exchange traded funds ("ETFs") that seek to provide investment results that, before expenses, generally correspond to the performance of the S&P 500, Russell 1000, and Russell 1000 Value indices.

NOTE 5. Investment Securities

Fair value measurements

Fair value measurements are categorized into a hierarchy that distinguishes between inputs based on market data from independent sources ("observable inputs") and a reporting entity's internal assumptions based upon the best information available when external market data is limited or unavailable ("unobservable inputs"). Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities have the highest priority ("Level 1"), followed by observable inputs other than quoted prices, including prices for similar but not identical assets or liabilities ("Level 2") and unobservable inputs, including the reporting entity's estimates of the assumptions that market participants would use, having the lowest priority ("Level 3"). As of both June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, approximately 92% of the investment portfolio recorded at fair value was priced based upon observable inputs.

Investments valued using Level 1 inputs include fixed maturity investments, primarily investments in U.S. Treasuries, common equity securities and short-term investments, which include U.S. Treasury Bills. Investments valued using Level 2 inputs comprise fixed maturity investments, which have been disaggregated into classes, including debt securities issued by corporations, municipal obligations, mortgage and asset-backed securities, foreign government obligations and preferred stocks. Investments valued using Level 2 inputs also include certain ETFs that track US stock indices such as the S&P 500 but are traded on foreign exchanges and that management values using the fund's published NAV to account for the difference in market close times. Fair value estimates for investments that trade infrequently and have few or no observable market prices are classified as Level 3 measurements. Level 3 fair value estimates based upon unobservable inputs include OneBeacon's investments in surplus notes which are measured at their estimated fair value based on discounted expected cash flows using information as of the measurement date, as well as certain investments in fixed maturity investments, common equity securities and other investments, where quoted market prices are unavailable or are not considered reasonable. OneBeacon determines when transfers between levels have occurred as of the beginning of the period.

OneBeacon uses brokers and outside pricing services to assist in determining fair values. For investments in active markets, OneBeacon uses the quoted market prices provided by outside pricing services to determine fair value. The outside pricing services OneBeacon uses have indicated that they will only provide prices where observable inputs are available. In circumstances where quoted market prices are unavailable or are not considered reasonable, OneBeacon estimates the fair value using industry standard pricing methodologies and observable inputs such as benchmark yields, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, bids, offers, credit ratings, prepayment speeds, reference data including research publications and other relevant inputs. Given that many fixed maturity investments do not trade on a daily basis, the outside pricing services evaluate a wide range of fixed maturity investments by regularly drawing parallels from recent trades and quotes of comparable securities with similar features. The characteristics used to identify comparable fixed maturity investments vary by asset type and take into account market convention.

OneBeacon's process to assess the reasonableness of the market prices obtained from the outside pricing sources covers substantially all of its fixed maturity investments and includes, but is not limited to, evaluation of pricing methodologies, review of the pricing services' quality control processes and procedures on at least an annual basis, comparison of market prices to prices obtained from alternate independent pricing vendors on at least a semi-annual basis, monthly analytical reviews of certain prices and review of assumptions utilized by the pricing service for selected measurements on an ad hoc basis throughout the year. OneBeacon also performs back-testing of selected purchases and sales activity to determine whether there are any significant differences between the market price used to value the security prior to purchase or sale and the actual purchase or sale price on an ad-hoc basis throughout the year. Prices provided by the pricing services that vary by more than 5% and $1.0 million from the expected price based on these procedures are considered outliers. Also considered outliers are prices that haven’t changed from period to period and prices that have trended unusually compared to market conditions. In circumstances where the results of OneBeacon's review process does not appear to support the market price provided by the pricing services, OneBeacon challenges the price. If OneBeacon cannot gain satisfactory evidence to support the challenged price, it relies upon its own pricing methodologies to estimate the fair value of the security in question.

The valuation process above is generally applicable to all of OneBeacon’s fixed maturity investments. The techniques and inputs specific to asset classes within OneBeacon's fixed maturity investments for Level 2 securities that use observable inputs are as follows:

Debt securities issued by corporations: The fair value of debt securities issued by corporations is determined from an evaluated pricing model that uses information from market sources and integrates relative credit information, observed market movements, and sector news. Key inputs include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-

NOTE 5. Investment Securities

sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and reference data including sector, coupon, quality ratings, duration, credit enhancements, early redemption features and market research publications.

Municipal obligations: The fair value of municipal obligations is determined from an evaluated pricing model that uses information from market makers, broker-dealers, buy-side firms, and analysts along with general market information. Key inputs include benchmark yields, reported trades, issuer financial statements, material event notices and new issue data, as well as broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and reference data including type, coupon, credit quality ratings, duration, credit enhancements, geographic location and market research publications.

Mortgage and asset-backed securities: The fair value of mortgage and asset backed securities is determined from an evaluated pricing model that uses information from market sources and leveraging similar securities. Key inputs include benchmark yields, reported trades, underlying tranche cash flow data, collateral performance, plus new issue data, as well as broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and reference data including issuer, vintage, loan type, collateral attributes, prepayment speeds, default rates, recovery rates, cash flow stress testing, credit quality ratings and market research publications.

Foreign government obligations: The fair value of foreign government obligations is determined from an evaluated pricing model that uses feeds from data sources in each respective country, including active market makers and inter-dealer brokers. Key inputs include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, local exchange prices, foreign exchange rates and reference data including coupon, credit quality ratings, duration and market research publications.

Preferred stocks: The fair value of preferred stocks is determined from an evaluated pricing model that calculates the appropriate spread over a comparable security for each issue. Key inputs include exchange prices (underlying and common stock of same issuer), benchmark yields, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and reference data including sector, coupon, credit quality ratings, duration, credit enhancements, early redemption features and market research publications.

Level 3 valuations are generated from techniques that use assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect OneBeacon's assumptions that market participants would use in valuing the investment. Generally, certain securities may start out as Level 3 when they are originally issued but as observable inputs become available in the market, they may be reclassified to Level 2.

The fair values of OneBeacon's investments in hedge funds and private equity funds have been classified as net asset value as prescribed by ASU 2015-07. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, OneBeacon did not record a liquidity adjustment to the net asset value related to its investments in hedge funds or private equity funds.

As of both June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, other investments reported at fair value represented approximately 5% of the total investment portfolio and consisted of the following:

⁽³⁾	The increase in the fair value of the surplus notes during the six months ended June 30, 2016 was driven primarily by the narrowing of non-investment grade credit spreads as well as the time value of money benefit generated by moving six months closer to modeled cash receipts, partially offset by the impact of an interest payment received in the first quarter of 2016.

The largest investment in a single hedge fund or private equity fund was $13.6 million and $12.9 million as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, OneBeacon held one private preferred stock that represented approximately 84% and 85%, respectively, of its preferred stock portfolio. OneBeacon used quoted market prices for similar securities that were adjusted to reflect management's best estimate of fair value; this security is classified as a Level 3 measurement.

Surplus Notes

In the fourth quarter of 2014, in conjunction with the Runoff Transaction, OneBeacon provided financing in the form of surplus notes, which had a fair value of $62.8 million and $51.5 million as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The surplus notes, issued by one of the transferred entities, Bedivere (“Issuer”), were in the form of both seller priority and pari passu notes.

The internal valuation model used to estimate the fair value is based on discounted expected cash flows using information as of the measurement date. The estimated fair value of the surplus notes is sensitive to changes in U.S. treasury rates and public corporate debt credit spreads, as well as changes in estimates with respect to other variables including a discount to reflect the private nature of the notes (and the related lack of liquidity), the credit quality of the notes – based on the financial performance of the Issuer relative to expectations, and the timing, amount, and likelihood of interest and principal payments on the notes, which are subject to regulatory approval and therefore may vary from the contractual terms. An interest payment of $2.4 million was received in the six months ended June 30, 2016. The Company has assumed for estimating value purposes that subsequent interest payouts will begin in year five (2020) and principal repayments begin on a graduating basis in year ten (2025) for the seller priority note and year fifteen (2030) for the pari passu note. Although these variables involve considerable judgment, the Company does not currently expect any resulting changes in the estimated value of the surplus notes to be material to its financial position.

Represents the value of the surplus notes, at current market yields on comparable publicly traded debt, and assuming issuer is allowed to make principal and interest payments when its financial capacity is available, as measured by statutory capital in excess of a 250% score under the National Association of Insurance Commissioners' risk-based capital standards for property and casualty companies.


⁽²⁾	Represents anticipated delay in securing regulatory approvals of interest and principal payments to reflect graduated changes in Issuer's statutory surplus. The monetary impact of the anticipated delay is measured based on credit spreads of publicly traded debt with roughly equivalent percentages of discounted payments missed.


⁽³⁾	Represents impact of liquidity spread to account for OneBeacon's sole ownership of the notes, lack of a trading market, and ongoing regulatory approval risk.


⁽⁴⁾	The increase in the fair value of the surplus notes during the six months ended June 30, 2016 was driven primarily by the narrowing of non-investment grade credit spreads as well as the time value of money benefit generated by moving six months closer to modeled cash receipts, partially offset by the impact of an interest payment received in the first quarter of 2016.

Fair value measurements by level

The following tables summarize the Company's fair value measurements for investments as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 by level. The major security types were based on the legal form of the securities. OneBeacon has disaggregated its fixed maturity investments based on the issuing entity type, which impacts credit quality, with debt securities issued by U.S. government entities carrying minimal credit risk, while the credit and other risks associated with other issuers, such as corporations, foreign governments, municipalities or entities issuing asset-backed securities vary depending on the nature of the issuing entity type. OneBeacon further disaggregates debt securities issued by corporations and common equity securities by industry sector because investors often reference commonly used benchmarks and their subsectors to monitor risk and performance. Accordingly, OneBeacon has further disaggregated these asset classes into subclasses based on the similar sectors and industry classifications the Company uses to evaluate investment risk and performance against commonly used benchmarks, such as the Barclays U.S. Intermediate Aggregate and S&P 500 indices.

⁽³⁾

Stochastic modeling supporting the fair value estimation indicates that the average percentage of discounted payments missed on the seller priority note is roughly equivalent to that of a conventional debt security with a credit rating of ‘B’. The corresponding credit spread increased by an additional 250 bps to reflect both a liquidity discount for a private debt instrument and regulatory payment approval uncertainty, which was added to the treasury rate to determine the discount rate for the seller priority note.


⁽⁴⁾	As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company assumed for the purpose of estimating the fair value that future interest payouts begin in year five (2020) and principal repayments begin on a graduated basis in year ten (2025) for the seller priority note and year fifteen (2030) for the pari passu note.

⁽⁵⁾

Stochastic modeling supporting the fair value estimation indicates that the average percentage of discounted payments missed on the pari passu note is roughly equivalent to that of a conventional debt security with a credit rating of ‘CCC’. The corresponding credit spread increased by an additional 250 bps to reflect both a liquidity discount for a private debt instrument and regulatory payment approval uncertainty, which was added to the treasury rate to determine the discount rate for the pari passu note.


⁽⁶⁾	Conditional prepayment rate (CPR) is annualized percentage of the existing mortgage pool that is expected to be prepaid in a year.


⁽⁷⁾	Valuation based on issuer's intent as of December 31, 2015 to call the security in the near term.

The assumed prepayment rate is a significant unobservable input used to estimate the fair value of investments in mortgage-backed securities. Generally for bonds priced at a premium, increases in prepayment speeds will result in a lower fair value, while decreases in prepayment speeds may result in a higher fair value, with the inverse for bonds priced at a discount.

Mortgage and Asset-backed Securities

OneBeacon purchases commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS") and residential mortgage-backed securities ("RMBS") to maximize its risk adjusted returns in the context of a diversified portfolio. OneBeacon's non-agency CMBS are generally short tenor and structurally senior, with approximately 30 points of subordination on average for fixed rate and

NOTE 5. Investment Securities

floating rate CMBS as of June 30, 2016. In general, subordination represents the percentage of principal loss on the underlying collateral that would have to occur before the security incurs a loss. These collateral losses, instead, are first absorbed by other securities lower in the capital structure. OneBeacon believes this structural protection mitigates the risk of loss tied to refinancing challenges facing the commercial real estate market. As of June 30, 2016, none of the underlying loans of the agency and non-agency CMBS were reported as non-performing. OneBeacon did not hold any RMBS categorized as sub-prime as of June 30, 2016. OneBeacon considers sub-prime mortgage-backed securities to be those that have underlying loan pools that exhibit weak credit characteristics or are issued from dedicated sub-prime shelves or dedicated second-lien shelf registrations (i.e., OneBeacon considers investments backed primarily by second-liens to be sub-prime risks regardless of credit scores or other metrics).

There are also mortgage-backed securities that OneBeacon categorizes as "non-prime" (also called "Alt A" or "A-") that are backed by collateral that has overall credit quality between prime and sub-prime, as determined based on OneBeacon's review of the characteristics of their underlying mortgage loan pools, such as credit scores and financial ratios. As of June 30, 2016, OneBeacon held one mortgage-backed security with a market value of $6.9 million that was classified as non-prime. OneBeacon's non-agency RMBS portfolio is generally of moderate average life, fixed rate and structurally senior. OneBeacon does not own any collateralized debt obligations, with the exception of $31.2 million of non-agency RMBS resecuritization tranches, each a senior tranche in its own right and each collateralized by a single earlier vintage Super Senior or Senior non-agency RMBS.

The following table summarizes the carrying value of OneBeacon's mortgage and asset-backed securities as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

OneBeacon holds investments in hedge funds and private equity funds which are included in other investments. The fair value of these investments has been estimated using the net asset value of the funds. The following table summarizes investments in hedge funds and private equity funds as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

Redemptions of investments in certain hedge funds are subject to restrictions including "lock-up" periods where no redemptions or withdrawals are allowed, restrictions on redemption frequency and advance notice periods for redemptions. Amounts requested for redemptions remain subject to market fluctuations until the redemption effective date, which generally falls at the end of the defined redemption period. The following summarizes the June 30, 2016 fair value of hedge funds subject to restrictions on redemption frequency and advance notice period requirements for investments in active hedge funds:

Certain hedge fund investments are no longer active and are in the process of disposing of their underlying investments. Distributions from such funds are remitted to investors as the fund's underlying investments are liquidated. As of June 30, 2016, the fair value of OneBeacon's hedge funds in liquidation was $1.0 million. The actual amount of the final distribution is subject to market fluctuations. The date at which such distributions will be received is not determinable as of June 30, 2016.

OneBeacon has also submitted redemption requests for certain of its investments in active hedge funds. As of June 30, 2016, redemptions of $2.5 million were outstanding and remain subject to market fluctuations. The date at which such redemptions will be received is not determinable at June 30, 2016. Redemptions are recorded as receivables when the investment is no longer subject to market fluctuations.

NOTE 5. Investment Securities

Investments in private equity funds are generally subject to lock-up periods during which investors may not request a redemption. Distributions prior to the expected termination date of the fund may be limited to dividends or proceeds arising from the liquidation of the fund's underlying investment. In addition, certain private equity funds provide an option to extend the lock-up period at either the sole discretion of the fund manager or upon agreement between the fund and the investors. As of June 30, 2016, investments in private equity funds were subject to lock-up periods as follows:

2012 Senior Notes

In November 2012, OneBeacon U.S. Holdings, Inc. ("OBH") issued $275.0 million face value of senior unsecured notes ("2012 Senior Notes") through a public offering, at an issue price of 99.9% and received $272.9 million of proceeds. The 2012 Senior Notes bear an annual interest rate of 4.6% payable semi-annually in arrears on May 9 and November 9, until maturity on November 9, 2022, and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed as to the payment of principal and interest by the Company. Taking into effect the amortization of the original issue discount and all underwriting and issuance expenses, the 2012 Senior Notes have an effective yield to maturity of approximately 4.7% per annum.

Credit Facility

On September 29, 2015, the Company and OBH, as co-borrowers and co-guarantors, entered into a revolving credit facility administered by U.S. Bank N.A. and also including BMO Harris Bank N.A., which has a total commitment of $65.0 million and has a maturity date of September 29, 2019 (the "Credit Facility"). As of June 30, 2016, the Credit Facility was undrawn.

Debt Covenants

The 2012 Senior Notes were issued under indentures that contain restrictive covenants which, among other things, limit the ability of the Company, OBH, and their respective subsidiaries to create liens and enter into sale and leaseback transactions and limits the ability of the Company and OBH to consolidate, merge or transfer its properties and assets. The indentures do not contain any financial ratios or specified levels of net worth or liquidity to which the Company or OBH must adhere. In addition, a failure by the Company or OBH or their respective subsidiaries to pay principal and interest on covered debt, where such failure results in the acceleration of at least $75.0 million of the principal amount of covered debt, could trigger the acceleration of the 2012 Senior Notes.

The Credit Facility contains various affirmative, negative and financial covenants which OneBeacon considers to be customary for such borrowings, including certain minimum net worth and maximum debt to capitalization standards. These covenants can restrict the Company, OBH and their respective subsidiaries in several ways, including their ability to incur additional indebtedness. An uncured breach of these covenants could result in an event of default under the Credit Facility, which would allow lenders to declare any amounts owed under the Credit Facility to be immediately due and payable.

As of June 30, 2016, OneBeacon was in compliance with all of the covenants under the 2012 Senior Notes and the Credit Facility.

NOTE 7. Segment Information

As discussed in Note 12—"Segment Information" in the Company's 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company has sixteen active underwriting operating segments, which are managed by the chief operating decision maker and are aggregated into two underwriting reportable segments, Specialty Products and Specialty Industries. In addition, the Investing, Financing and Corporate reportable segment includes the investing and financing activities for OneBeacon on a consolidated basis, and certain other activities conducted through the Company and its intermediate holding company subsidiaries.

Invested assets are not allocated to the Specialty Products and Specialty Industries segments since OneBeacon does not manage them by segment. Invested assets, net investment income and net realized and change in unrealized investment gains related to OneBeacon's Specialty Products and Specialty Industries segments are included in the Investing, Financing and Corporate segment since these assets are available for payment of losses and expenses for all segments. Debt and the related interest expense on debt also are not allocated to or managed by segment and are also included in the Investing, Financing and Corporate segment.

Substantially all of the Company's revenue is generated from customers located in the United States.

There have been no material changes to the Company's determination of reportable segments from that reported in the 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Financial information for OneBeacon's reportable segments is as follows:

NOTE 8. Retirement Plans

OneBeacon previously sponsored the OneBeacon qualified pension plan (the "Qualified Plan"). During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Qualified Plan finalized its termination by purchasing group annuity contracts from the Principal Financial Group and making lump sum distributions to Qualified Plan participants electing such payments, which eliminated the remaining Qualified Plan liability. As a result of these transactions, the Company recognized an estimated pre-tax pension settlement charge of $0.3 million and no longer has a projected benefit obligation with respect to the Qualified Plan as of June 30, 2016. During the three months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recognized a true-up to the estimate of less than a $0.1 million gain; the final true-up is anticipated to occur in the second half of 2016. OneBeacon ceased administratively paying claims during the second quarter of 2016. The Company transferred $42.4 million of excess invested assets from the Qualified Plan into the trust supporting the OneBeacon 401(k) Savings and Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("KSOP"), which is the Qualified Replacement Plan ("QRP"), during the three months ended June 30, 2016 (see Note 9—"Employee Share-Based Compensation") and will transfer additional assets upon the final true-up, with approximately $12 million of excess invested assets to be held in trust in order to wind-down potential post-termination obligations of that plan, as approved by way of a March 2016 private letter ruling from the IRS. The invested assets related to both the legacy Qualified Plan and the QRP are included in other assets and are accounted for at fair value.

OneBeacon continues to sponsor a non-qualified, non-contributory, defined benefit pension plan ("Non-qualified Plan") covering certain employees who were employed as of December 31, 2001 and former employees who had met the eligibility requirements, as well as retirees. The Non-qualified Plan, was frozen and curtailed in 2002, resulting in the pension benefit obligation being equal to the accumulated benefit obligation. The benefits are based primarily on years of service and employees’ compensation through December 31, 2002. OneBeacon’s funding policy is generally to contribute amounts to satisfy actual disbursements for the calendar year.

The components of net periodic benefit cost for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 for the Non-qualified Plan and Qualified Plan were as follows:



	Three months ended June 30,						Six months ended June 30,

OneBeacon anticipates contributing $2.1 million to the Non-qualified Plan in 2016, for which OneBeacon has assets held in a rabbi trust. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company contributed $0.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively, to the Non-qualified Plan.

NOTE 9. Employee Share-Based Incentive Compensation Plans

OneBeacon's share-based compensation plans include performance shares, restricted shares and restricted stock units ("RSUs"), which are designed to maximize shareholder value over long periods of time by aligning the financial interests of its management with those of its owners. Performance shares are payable only upon achievement of pre-defined business goals and are valued based on the market value of OneBeacon's common shares at the time awards are earned. Performance shares and restricted stock units are typically paid in cash, though, in some instances, they may be paid in common shares or may be deferred in accordance with the terms of OneBeacon's deferred compensation plan. Restricted shares vest either annually in equal installments over the specified service period or cliff-vest in full after the 2 to 3-year service period, depending on the award. OneBeacon expenses the full cost of all its share-based compensation over the requisite service period. The Company recognized expense related to its share-based compensation plans, including the KSOP plan, of $2.5 million and $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $5.2 million and $4.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

All performance shares cliff vest on December 31 of the last year in the cycle. If 100% of the outstanding performance shares had been vested on June 30, 2016, the total additional compensation cost to be recognized would have been $2.5 million, based on current accrual factors (common share price, accumulated dividends and payout assumptions) at June 30, 2016.

All performance shares earned and paid were settled in cash or by deferral into OneBeacon's deferred compensation plan.

Restricted shares that vested during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 had a grant date fair value of $2.1 million and $4.3 million, respectively. No shares vested during the three months ended June 30, 2016 or 2015. As of June 30, 2016, unrecognized compensation expense of $3.5 million related to restricted stock awards is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.8 years.

Restricted Stock Units

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, 227,788 RSUs were issued, and 221,448 were outstanding as of June 30, 2016. The RSUs are scheduled to cliff vest in full on December 31, 2018, at which time the RSUs will be paid out in cash or shares at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, 215,698 RSUs were issued, with outstanding RSUs, net of forfeitures, at 185,004 as of June 30, 2016. The expense associated with the RSUs, which is being recognized over the vesting period, was $0.5 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $0.9 million and $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

NOTE 9. Employee Share-Based Incentive Compensation Plans

Share-Based Compensation under Qualified Retirement Plans

OneBeacon sponsors a defined contribution plan, the KSOP which includes an employee stock ownership component. OneBeacon has recorded $1.3 million and $1.5 million in compensation expense to pay benefits and allocate common shares to participants' accounts for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $2.7 million for both the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. As discussed in Note 8—"Retirement Plans," $42.4 million was transferred to the KSOP plan trust during the three months ended June 30, 2016 and will be used to fund future contributions.

As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the KSOP owned less than 3% of either of the total White Mountains common shares outstanding or the total Company common shares outstanding. All common shares held by the KSOP are considered outstanding for earnings per share computations.

NOTE 10. Income Taxes

OneBeacon and its Bermuda-domiciled subsidiaries are not subject to Bermuda income tax under current Bermuda law. In the event that there is a change in the current law such that taxes are imposed, OneBeacon and its Bermuda-domiciled subsidiaries would be exempt from such tax until March 31, 2035, pursuant to the Bermuda Exempted Undertakings Tax Protection Act of 1966. OneBeacon also has subsidiaries that operate in Gibraltar, Barbados, Luxembourg, the United Kingdom and the United States. U.S. operations are financed with a combination of debt and equity and the financing income and underwriting income currently account for the majority of non-U.S. earnings.

OneBeacon's income tax (benefit) expense related to pre-tax income from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, represented net effective tax rates of (8.7)% and (31.0)%, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 represented net effective tax rates of (17.5)% and 8.1%, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, were lower than the U.S. statutory rate of 35% due to income generated in jurisdictions other than the United States, principally representing interest income and underwriting income taxed in a jurisdiction with a lower effective tax rate. The rate for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was impacted by a $3.5 million favorable settlement of the 2010-2012 IRS exam and the rate for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was impacted by a $12.8 million favorable settlement of the 2007-2009 IRS exam in addition to the $3.5 million favorable settlement of the 2010-2012 IRS exam, as further described below. For the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the effective tax rate on non-U.S. income was 0.5% and 1.8%, respectively and for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 the effective tax rate on non-U.S. income was 0.7% and 1.4%, respectively

In arriving at the effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, OneBeacon forecasted all income and expense items including the realized and change in unrealized investment gains for the years ending December 31, 2016 and 2015, and included these gains in the effective tax rate calculation.

OneBeacon records a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets if it becomes more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. Changes in valuation allowances from period to period are included in income tax expense in the period of change. In determining whether or not a valuation allowance, or change therein, is warranted, OneBeacon considers factors such as prior earnings history, expected future earnings, carryback and carryforward periods as well as prudent and economically feasible strategies that, if executed would result in the realization of a deferred tax asset. It is possible that certain planning strategies or projected earnings in certain subsidiaries may not be feasible to utilize the entire deferred tax asset, which could result in material changes to OneBeacon’s deferred tax assets and tax expense.

OneBeacon classifies all interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits as part of income tax expense. With few exceptions, OneBeacon is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2013.

On January 19, 2016, OneBeacon received Form 870-AD (Offer to Waive Restrictions on Assessment and Collection Tax Deficiency and to Accept Overassessment) from the IRS Appeals Office relating to the examination of tax years 2007, 2008 and 2009. All disputed items have now been agreed to and resolved with the Joint Committee on Taxation. As the receipt of the Form 870-AD described above represents formal settlement, OneBeacon recorded a tax benefit of $12.8 million in the first quarter of 2016 related to tax years 2007, 2008 and 2009.

On May 27, 2016, OneBeacon received the Closing Letter (Letter 1156) from the IRS Revenue Agents relating to the examination of tax years 2010, 2011 and 2012. All disputed items have now been agreed to and resolved. As the receipt of the Closing Letter described above represents formal settlement, OneBeacon recorded a tax benefit of $3.5 million in the second quarter of 2016 related to tax years 2010, 2011 and 2012.

NOTE 11. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

OneBeacon carries its financial instruments on its balance sheet at fair value with the exception of its investment in qualified affordable housing projects, which is accounted for using the proportional amortization method, and fixed-rate, long-term indebtedness. For certain financial instruments where quoted market prices are not available, other independent valuation techniques and assumptions are used. Because considerable judgment is used, these estimates are not necessarily indicative of amounts that could be realized in a current market exchange. Certain financial instruments are excluded from disclosure, including insurance contracts.

As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the fair value of OneBeacon's 2012 Senior Notes (its fixed-rate, long-term indebtedness) was $279.7 million and $276.4 million, respectively. As described in Note 6—"Debt", the net carrying value of the 2012 Senior Notes was $273.0 million and $272.9 million as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The fair value measurement of the 2012 Senior Notes is classified as Level 2 in the valuation hierarchy and determined based on the closing market price at the end of the fiscal quarter.

NOTE 12. Legal Contingencies

OneBeacon, and the insurance and reinsurance industry in general, is routinely subject to claims related litigation and arbitration in the normal course of business, as well as litigation and arbitration that does not arise from, or directly relate to, claims activity. OneBeacon's estimates of the costs of settling matters routinely encountered in claims activity are reflected in the reserves for unpaid loss and LAE. See Note 3—"Unpaid Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense ("LAE") Reserves."

OneBeacon evaluates its exposure to non-claims related litigation and arbitration and establishes accruals for litigation and arbitration if it is probable that a loss has been incurred and it can be reasonably estimated. Disclosure of litigation and arbitration is made if it is probable that a loss has been incurred or if there is a reasonable possibility that a loss may have been incurred. Although the ultimate outcome of claims and non-claims related litigation and arbitration, and the amount or range of potential loss at any particular time, is often inherently uncertain, management does not believe that the ultimate outcome of such claims and non-claims related litigation and arbitration will have a material adverse effect on OneBeacon's financial condition, full year results of operations, or cash flows.

The following summarizes significant ongoing non-claims related litigation or arbitration as of June 30, 2016:

Deutsche Bank Litigation

In June 2011, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, Law Debenture Company of New York and Wilmington Trust Company (collectively referred to as “Plaintiffs”), in their capacity as trustees for certain senior notes issued by the Tribune Company (“Tribune”), filed lawsuits in various jurisdictions (the “Noteholder Actions”) against numerous defendants including OneBeacon, OneBeacon-sponsored benefit plans and other affiliates of White Mountains in their capacity as former shareholders of Tribune seeking recovery of the proceeds from the sale of common stock of Tribune in connection with Tribune's leveraged buyout in 2007 (the “LBO”). Tribune filed for bankruptcy in 2008 in the Delaware bankruptcy court (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Bankruptcy Court granted Plaintiffs permission to commence these LBO-related actions, and in 2011, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation granted a motion to consolidate the actions for pretrial matters and transferred all such proceedings to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. Plaintiffs seek recovery of the proceeds received by the former Tribune shareholders on a theory of constructive fraudulent transfer asserting that Tribune purchased or repurchased its common shares without receiving fair consideration at a time when it was, or as a result of the purchases of shares, was rendered, insolvent. OneBeacon has entered into a joint defense agreement with other affiliates of White Mountains that are defendants in the action. OneBeacon and OneBeacon-sponsored benefit plans received approximately $32 million for Tribune common stock tendered in connection with the LBO. The Court granted an omnibus motion to dismiss the Noteholders Action in September 2013 and plaintiffs appealed. On March 29, 2016, a three judge panel of the U.S Second Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the dismissal of the Noteholders Action. On July 22, 2016, the Plaintiff's petition to the Second Circuit for reconsideration or for a rehearing en banc was denied in full. The Plaintiffs have 90 days in which to file for a writ of certiorari, seeking review in the United States Supreme Court.

In addition, OneBeacon, OneBeacon-sponsored benefit plans and other affiliates of White Mountains in their capacity as former shareholders of Tribune, along with thousands of former Tribune shareholders, have been named as defendants in an adversary proceeding brought by the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of the Tribune Company (the “Committee”), on behalf of the Tribune Company, which seeks to avoid the repurchase of shares by Tribune in the LBO on a theory of intentional fraudulent transfer (the “Committee Action”). Tribune emerged from bankruptcy in 2012, and a litigation trustee replaced the Committee as plaintiff in the Committee Action. This matter was consolidated for pretrial matters with the Noteholder Actions in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and was stayed pending the motion to dismiss in the Noteholder Action. An omnibus motion to dismiss the shareholder defendants in the Committee Action

was filed in May 2014. No amount has been accrued in connection with this matter as of June 30, 2016, as the amount of loss, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated.

NOTE 13. Earnings per Share

Basic and diluted earnings per share amounts are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, including unvested restricted shares that are considered participating securities. Diluted earnings per share amounts are based on the weighted average number of common shares including unvested restricted shares.

The following table outlines the Company's computation of earnings per share for net income from continuing operations attributable to OneBeacon's common shareholders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015:

NOTE 14. Common Shareholders' Equity

Common Shares Repurchased and Retired

On August 22, 2007, the Company's Board authorized the repurchase of up to $200.0 million of its Class A common shares from time to time, subject to market conditions. Shares may be repurchased on the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. This authorization does not have a stated expiration date. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, 850,349 shares were repurchased under the share repurchase authorization for $10.6 million at an average share price of $12.42. No shares were repurchased under the share repurchase authorization during the six months ended June 30, 2015. The amount of authorization remaining is $75.0 million as of June 30, 2016.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company repurchased 64,981 and 112,051 common shares, respectively, for $0.9 million and $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, to satisfy employee income tax withholding, pursuant to employee benefit plans. Shares repurchased pursuant to employee benefit plans do not reduce the board authorization referred to above. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, no restricted shares were forfeited, with 1,500 such forfeitures occurring during the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Dividends on Common Shares

During the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 the Company declared and paid cash dividends to OneBeacon shareholders of $0.42 per common share for a total of $39.6 million and $40.0 million, respectively.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

The pre-tax components of the Company's other comprehensive income and the related tax expense are as follows:



	Six months ended June 30,
($ in millions)	2016			2015
Net change in benefit plan assets and obligations	$	0.3		$	0.6
Income tax expense	(0.1		)	(0.2		)
Net change in benefit plan assets and obligations, net of tax	$	0.2		$	0.4

NOTE 15. Discontinued Operations

Runoff Business

As described in Note 1—"Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" and Note 2—"Acquisitions and Dispositions," on December 23, 2014, OneBeacon completed the sale of its Runoff Business to Armour.

In conjunction with the Runoff Transaction, OneBeacon provided financing in the form of surplus notes issued by Bedivere having a par value of $101.0 million, which had a fair value of $64.9 million on the date of sale. Subsequent to the date of sale, these notes have been included in other investments on OneBeacon's consolidated balance sheet. See Note 5—"Investment Securities" for further disclosures regarding these surplus notes.

The vast majority of the gross and net run-off unpaid loss and LAE reserves were included in the entities that were transferred to Armour. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, gross loss and LAE reserves of $18.2 million and $20.4 million, respectively, related to the Runoff Business were ceded to Bedivere, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Armour, by way of a 100% quota share agreement with ASIC.

Summary of Results of Operations

There was no loss from discontinued operations or loss/gain from sale of discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016.

The loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, of $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, was the result of post-closing expenses incurred in connection with the Runoff Business.

The gain from sale of discontinued operations, net of tax, of $0.3 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 represents a positive adjustment to the estimated loss on sale taking into consideration the final settlement of certain post-closing items.

ITEM 2.	MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion contains "forward-looking statements." Statements that are not historical in nature are forward-looking statements. OneBeacon cannot promise that its expectations in such forward-looking statements will turn out to be correct. OneBeacon's actual results could be materially different from and worse than its expectations. See "Forward-Looking Statements" on page 63 for specific important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements.

Overview—Three months ended June 30, 2016 versus three months ended June 30, 2015

We ended the second quarter of 2016 with a book value per share of $10.83, reflecting a 2.4% increase, including a quarterly dividend of $0.21 per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2016.

Net income attributable to OneBeacon's common shareholders was $24.5 million for the second quarter of 2016, compared to net income of $3.4 million for the second quarter of 2015. Pre-tax underwriting loss of $7.9 million for the second quarter of 2016, reflecting a combined ratio of 102.9%, compared to pre-tax underwriting income of $15.5 million for the second quarter of 2015, reflecting a combined ratio of 95.1%. The pre-tax underwriting results for the second quarter of 2016 were driven by the unfavorable performance of our Healthcare, and to a lesser extent, the challenging second quarter of 2016 for our Programs business, both of which are discussed in further detail below. Pre-tax net investment return was $36.8 million for the second quarter of 2016, representing a 1.5% total return on average invested assets, compared to negative $3.9 million for the second quarter of 2015, representing a (0.1)% total return on average invested assets. The significant increase was driven by a higher return from our fixed maturity investments portfolio, due to interest rate movements in the second quarter of 2016 compared to the second quarter of 2015, and a higher return from our other investments portfolio driven by a positive valuation adjustment on the surplus notes resulting primarily from changes in credit spreads.

Our net income for the second quarter of 2016 included a $3.5 million tax benefit resulting from the settlement of an IRS examination for tax years 2010, 2011 and 2012.

During both the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, OneBeacon experienced $15.4 million net unfavorable loss and LAE reserve development on prior accident year reserves. During the three months ended June 30, 2016, our Healthcare operating segment recorded $20.0 million of net unfavorable loss reserve development as a result of increasing claim frequency, particularly liability claims, as well as higher than expected paid and case activity, most notably within the senior living sub-line, which provides medical malpractice and general liability insurance for extended care facilities, including assisted living, memory care and continuing care facilities. As a result of the continuing loss activity experienced in this sub-line, an in-depth claim file review was performed which confirmed that the increased case incurred was driven by frequency, especially in the more recent prior accident years, as opposed to other potential considerations such as changes in claims-handling practices. In addition, a thorough actuarial review was completed, including analysis of the results of enhancements made to the predictive model deployed in the senior living sub-line. Adverse financial results were primarily observed in high-risk categories of business and in difficult geographic venues identified by the predictive model data. As a result of these analyses, management increased its best estimate of prior accident year losses, and increased its loss provisions for the current accident year based on the updated actuarial indications. In addition, also within the Healthcare operating segment, there were two large claims within the managed care errors and omissions sub-line related to unexpected outcomes from mediation and extended costs associated with claim defense, which contributed to the unfavorable development in prior accident years. In the six months ended June 30, 2016, Healthcare has recorded $30.0 million of adverse prior year development, which included prior year loss activity recorded in the first quarter of 2016 in the complex risk sub-line, which provides professional liability coverage to hospitals, physicians, and physician groups as well as physicians' extended reporting period coverage. In addition, there were two larger auto-related accounts within Programs that experienced adverse claim activity.

As a result of this loss activity in the first six months of 2016, we have taken corrective underwriting actions to focus on more desirable risks. As a result primarily of these actions, Healthcare premiums have decreased by $11.5 million and by $22.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. In addition, Programs net written premiums decreased by $16.8 million and $10.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, respectively, as a result of exiting two larger Programs accounts.

Overview—Six months ended June 30, 2016 versus six months ended June 30, 2015

We ended the first six months of 2016 with a book value per share of $10.83, reflecting a 6.9% increase on an internal rate of return basis, including a quarterly dividend of $0.21 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Net income attributable to OneBeacon's common shareholders was $70.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to net income of $27.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Pre-tax underwriting income was $5.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, reflecting a combined ratio of 98.9%, compared to pre-tax underwriting income of $29.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, reflecting a combined ratio of 95.2%. Pre-tax underwriting

Table of Contents

results for the six months ended June 30, 2016 were driven by the unfavorable performance of our Healthcare business, discussed above, and to a lesser extent, from two accounts in our Programs business. This unfavorable performance partially offset the strong underwriting results from most of our other businesses and also the improved relative performance of our Entertainment business which was significantly impacted by large and small to mid-sized claims for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Pre-tax net investment return was $67.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, representing a 2.7% total return on average invested assets, compared to $20.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, representing a 0.9% total return on average invested assets. The significant increase was driven by a higher return from our fixed maturity investments portfolio, due to interest rate movements for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015, and a higher return from our other investments portfolio due to positive valuation adjustments on the surplus notes resulting primarily from changes in credit spreads.

Our net income for the six months ended June 30, 2016 included a $16.3 million tax benefit resulting from the settlement of IRS examinations for tax years 2007 through 2012. Our net income for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was adversely impacted by a $3.7 million negative adjustment to the pre-tax gain on the sale of Essentia Insurance Company (Essentia) in connection with an assessment from the Michigan Catastrophic Claims Association (MCCA) payable to Markel Corporation pursuant to the indemnification provisions in the stock purchase agreement governing the sale of Essentia.

Gross and Net written premiums are operating metrics used by the Company to measure business volume. The gross written premium metric is calculated by totaling all premium amounts, both direct and assumed, that customers are required to pay for policies that are written, or bound, during the relevant accounting period, with the net written premium metric being net of amounts ceded to reinsurance companies.

Consolidated Results—Three months ended June 30, 2016 versus three months ended June 30, 2015

Our comprehensive income attributable to OneBeacon's common shareholders was $24.7 million for the second quarter of 2016 compared to $3.6 million for the second quarter of 2015, with the change driven primarily by a $40.7 million increase in pre-tax investment results due to higher net realized and change in unrealized gains in our fixed maturity investment and other investment portfolios driven by the factors discussed below in "Summary of Investment Results." The increased pre-tax investment results were partially offset a $23.4 million decrease in pre-tax underwriting results as the second quarter of 2016 was impacted by the significant underwriting losses in the Healthcare and Programs operating segments. Additionally, the second quarter of 2016 included a $3.5 million tax benefit resulting from the settlement of an IRS examination for tax years 2010, 2011 and 2012.

Table of Contents

Our total revenues of $309.0 million for the second quarter of 2016 decreased $5.2 million from $314.2 million for the 2015 period, due to a decrease in net earned premiums of $47.9 million, or 15.0%, primarily from decreases in our Healthcare and Programs businesses and from the exit of Crop, which was mostly offset by the $40.7 million increase in pre-tax investment results.

Written Premiums

Consolidated net written premiums were $261.0 million in the second quarter of 2016, a decrease of 18.7% from the comparative prior year period. The decrease of 18.7% was driven by the exit of Crop ($31.9 million), and decreases which included corrective underwriting actions in Programs ($16.8 million) and Healthcare ($11.5 million).

Underwriting Results

Our pre-tax underwriting loss was $7.9 million for the second quarter of 2016, compared to pre-tax underwriting income of $15.5 million for the second quarter of 2015.

Our combined ratio for the second quarter of 2016 of 102.9% reflected a 66.2% loss and LAE ratio and a 36.7% expense ratio, which compared to a combined ratio for the second quarter of 2015 of 95.1%, consisting of a 60.9% loss and LAE ratio and a 34.2% expense ratio.

The 5.3 point increase in the loss and LAE ratio was comprised of a 0.5 point decrease in current accident year non-catastrophe losses, a 5.7 point unfavorable change in net prior year loss reserve development compared to the prior year period, and a 0.1 point increase in catastrophe losses.

Current accident year non-catastrophe losses for the second quarter of 2016 of $159.0 million, or 58.6 points, compared to $188.9 million, or 59.1 points, for the 2015 period driven by the prior period impact of severe storms in the southern United States which adversely impacted the crop-hail product within the Crop business for the second quarter of 2015 and favorable results in Inland Marine which were partially offset by the unfavorable impacts from Healthcare and Programs.

There were 5.7 points of net unfavorable prior year loss and LAE reserve development in the second quarter of 2016, driven primarily by Healthcare, and to a lesser extent, unfavorable development in Programs related to two larger programs that we have exited. This adverse development was partially offset by favorable development across several businesses, most notably Financial Services. This compared with no net favorable prior year loss and LAE reserve development for the second quarter of 2015 as favorable development from several businesses, most notably Specialty Property and Surety, was offset by unfavorable development primarily due to a large claim in Entertainment and an increase in the frequency of small to medium losses within Ocean Marine.

Catastrophe losses of $5.3 million, or 1.9 points, in the second quarter of 2016, primarily resulting from wind and thunderstorms in Texas impacting Inland Marine and Financial Services, compared to $5.6 million, or 1.8 points, for the second quarter of 2015 primarily resulting from wind and thunderstorms in the midwestern and southern United States, particularly Texas.

The expense ratio increased 2.5 points to 36.7% for the second quarter of 2016, compared to 34.2% for the second quarter of 2015, driven by the negative impact of lower earned premiums in the 2016 period and business mix as the 2015 period benefited from a low expense ratio on the exited Crop business. These unfavorable changes were partially offset by lower incentive compensation expense, and lower salaries expense which was impacted by reduced headcount in the 2016 period.

Investments

Net investment income increased to $12.1 million for the second quarter of 2016, compared to $10.1 million for the second quarter of 2015. Net realized and change in unrealized investment gains of $24.7 million were significantly better than the negative $14.0 million in the second quarter of 2015. The significant increase was driven primarily by a higher return from our fixed maturity investments portfolio, due to interest rate movements in the second quarter of 2016 compared to the second quarter of 2015, and a higher return from our other investments portfolio driven by an $11.0 million positive valuation adjustment on the surplus notes resulting primarily from changes in credit spreads compared to a negative $1.9 million valuation adjustment for the 2015 period.

Other Revenues (Expenses)

The $2.0 million favorable change in other revenues (expenses) compared to the second quarter of 2015 was driven by a $1.6 million pre-tax write-off of certain capitalized software in the second quarter of 2015.

Income Taxes

Our income tax benefit related to pre-tax income from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2016 and 2015 represented net effective tax rates of (8.7)% and (31.0)%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2016 was lower than the U.S. statutory rate of 35% due to the impact of a $3.5 million favorable settlement of an IRS examination for the 2010, 2011 and 2012 tax years. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2015, was lower than the U.S. statutory rate of

35% due to income generated in jurisdictions other than the United States, principally representing interest income and underwriting income taxed in a jurisdiction with a lower effective tax rate, which also provided a benefit to the current period. The effective tax rate on non-U.S. income for the second quarter of 2016 and 2015 was 0.5% and 1.8%, respectively.

Consolidated Results— Six months ended June 30, 2016 versus six months ended June 30, 2015

Our comprehensive income attributable to OneBeacon's common shareholders was $71.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $27.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, with the change driven primarily by a $47.0 million increase in pre-tax investment results due to higher net realized and change in unrealized gains in our fixed maturity investment and other investment portfolios driven by the factors discussed below in "Summary of Investment Results." Additionally, the six months ended June 30, 2016 included a $16.3 million tax benefit resulting from the settlement of IRS examinations for tax years 2007 through 2012. Partially offsetting these increases were pre-tax underwriting results of $5.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $29.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as the current period was impacted by the significant underwriting losses in the Healthcare and Programs business segments.

Our total revenues of $619.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 decreased $2.9 million from $622.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as a decrease in earned premiums of $55.9 million, or 9.2%, was mostly offset by the $47.0 million increase in pre-tax investment results and an increase in other revenues (expenses) of $6.0 million as discussed below in "Other Revenues (Expenses)." The decrease in earned premiums was driven by Healthcare and the exit of both Crop and the lawyers professional liability line within Other Professional Lines.

Written Premiums

Consolidated net written premiums were $541.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016, a decrease of 11.0% from the comparative prior year period. The significant decrease in net written premiums was primarily driven by the exit of Crop ($26.4 million) and decreases at Healthcare ($22.1 million), which included corrective underwriting actions, and in Programs ($10.6 million), as we have exited two accounts, and Entertainment, which decreased $9.0 million.

Underwriting Results

Our pre-tax underwriting income was $5.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to pre-tax underwriting income of $29.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Our combined ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2016 of 98.9% reflected a 61.5% loss and LAE ratio and a 37.4% expense ratio, which compared to a combined ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2015 of 95.2%, consisting of a 59.5% loss and LAE ratio and a 35.7% expense ratio.

The 2.0 point increase in the loss and LAE ratio was comprised of a 0.6 point decrease in current accident year non-catastrophe losses, a 3.1 point unfavorable change in prior year loss reserve development and a 0.5 point decrease in catastrophe losses.

Current accident year non-catastrophe losses for the six months ended June 30, 2016 of $315.3 million, or 57.3 points, compared to $351.0 million, or 57.9 points, for the 2015 period as the adverse impact of Crop on the 2015 period due to the impact of severe storms in the southern United States which adversely impacted the crop-hail product and the improved results of a number of our businesses in the six months ended June 30, 2016 were mostly offset by increased current accident year provisions within Healthcare and Programs.

There was 2.8 points of net unfavorable prior year loss and LAE reserve development in the six months ended June 30, 2016, driven by Healthcare and, to a lesser extent, Programs, which was partially offset by favorable development in Technology, Financial Services and Accident. This compared with $1.8 million, or 0.3 points, of net favorable prior year loss and LAE reserve development for the six months ended June 30, 2015 driven by favorable development from Crop resulting from the 2014 crop year and favorable development in most other businesses, most notably Technology, Specialty Property, Government Risks and Surety. This favorable development for the 2015 period was mostly offset by unfavorable development in Entertainment driven by several large losses and small to mid-sized claims and by losses within Inland Marine resulting from a few large claims.

Catastrophe losses of $7.8 million, or 1.4 points, in the six months ended June 30, 2016, primarily resulting from wind and thunderstorms in Texas impacting Inland Marine and Financial Services compared to $11.2 million, or 1.9 points, for the six months ended June 30, 2015 primarily resulting from wind and thunderstorms in the midwestern and southern United States, particularly Texas, and winter storms in the northeastern United States.

The expense ratio increased 1.7 points to 37.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to 35.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2015, driven by the negative impact of lower earned premiums in the 2016 period and partially offset by favorable business mix.

Table of Contents

Investments

Net investment income increased to $26.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $20.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 driven primarily by a $2.4 million interest payment on the surplus notes, along with an increase in the yield and change in mix. Net realized and change in unrealized investment gains of $41.3 million increased significantly compared to $0.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015 driven primarily by a higher return from our fixed maturity investments portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2016, due to interest rate movements in the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015, and a higher return from our other investments portfolio driven by positive valuation adjustments of $11.3 million on the surplus notes resulting primarily from changes in credit spreads compared to net positive valuation adjustments of $1.1 million for the 2015 period.

Other Revenues (Expenses)

The $6.0 million favorable change in other revenues (expenses) in the current period compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015 was driven by the impact of the $3.7 million negative adjustment to the pre-tax gain on the sale of Essentia in the six months ended June 30, 2015. Additionally, the six months ended June 30, 2015 included a $1.6 million pre-tax write-off of certain capitalized software and a loss on the sale of real estate of $1.2 million.

Income Taxes

Our income tax (benefit) expense related to pre-tax income from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 represented net effective tax rates of (17.5)% and 8.1%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was lower than the U.S. statutory rate of 35% due to the impact of a $16.3 million favorable settlement of IRS examinations for the 2007 through 2012 tax years. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2015, was lower than the U.S. statutory rate of 35% due to income generated in jurisdictions other than the United States, principally representing interest income and underwriting income taxed in a jurisdiction with a lower effective tax rate, which also provided a benefit to the current period. The effective tax rate on non-U.S. income for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was 0.7% and 1.4%, respectively.

Reinsurance Protection

We purchase reinsurance in order to minimize loss from large risks or catastrophic events. We also purchase individual property reinsurance coverage for certain risks to reduce large loss volatility through property-per-risk excess of loss reinsurance programs and individual risk facultative reinsurance. We also maintain excess of loss casualty reinsurance programs that provide protection for individual risk or catastrophe losses involving workers' compensation, general liability, automobile liability, professional liability or umbrella liability. The availability and cost of reinsurance protection is subject to market conditions, which are outside of our control. Limiting our risk of loss through reinsurance arrangements serves to mitigate the impact of large losses; however, the cost of this protection in an individual period may exceed the benefit.

For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, our net combined ratio was higher than our gross combined ratio by 4.5 points and 4.9 points, respectively, as a result of the cost of the reinsurance programs more than offsetting the benefits from ceded losses.

Specialty Products—Three months ended June 30, 2016 versus three months ended June 30, 2015

Net written premiums for Specialty Products decreased to $101.9 million for the second quarter of 2016 from $159.7 million for the comparative 2015 period. The significant decrease was driven by the exit of Crop ($31.9 million), a decrease at our Programs business including the exit of two larger accounts ($16.8 million) and decreases in Healthcare ($11.5 million) which included corrective underwriting actions in the senior living sub-line, as well as a large return premium on a single account. Partially offsetting these large decreases were modest increases at most of our other business units.

The Specialty Products combined ratio for the second quarter of 2016 increased to 113.7% from 90.5% for the second quarter of 2015, as the loss and LAE ratio increased by 18.2 points to 78.0%, and the expense ratio increased by 5.0 points to 35.7%.

The 18.2 point increase to the loss and LAE ratio in the second quarter of 2016 compared to the 2015 period was comprised of a 2.6 point increase in current accident year non-catastrophe losses, a 14.8 point unfavorable change in net prior year loss reserve development and a 0.8 point increase in catastrophe losses.

The current accident year non-catastrophe loss ratio for the second quarter of 2016 was 63.3%, compared to 60.7% for the second quarter of 2015, driven by unfavorable impacts from Healthcare and Programs, and to a lesser extent, the Architects and Engineers sub-line within Other Professional Lines which were partially offset by the prior period impact of severe storms

in the southern United States which adversely impacted the crop-hail product within the Crop business for the second quarter of 2015.

The second quarter of 2016 results included 13.4 points of net unfavorable prior year loss reserve development, driven primarily by Healthcare, and to a lesser extent, unfavorable development in Programs related to two larger programs that we have exited, and unfavorable development in the Architects and Engineers sub-line within Other Professional Lines, which were partially offset by favorable development across several businesses, most notably Financial Services. This compared with 1.4 points of net favorable prior year loss reserve development in the second quarter of 2015, primarily related to favorable loss reserve development in Specialty Property and Surety that was partially offset by unfavorable loss reserve development primarily in our Tuition Reimbursement business.

The second quarter of 2016 included 1.3 points of catastrophe losses which primarily related to wind and thunderstorms in Texas impacting Financial Services, compared to 0.5 points for the second quarter of 2015, resulting from wind and thunderstorms in the midwest and on the east coast of the United States impacting Financial Services.

The 5.0 point increase in the expense ratio for the second quarter of 2016, compared to the second quarter of 2015, was driven by the negative impact of lower earned premiums in the 2016 period resulting from recently exited businesses, including the exit of Crop, and corrective underwriting actions in Healthcare and Programs, and business mix as the 2015 period benefited from a low expense ratio on the exited Crop business. These unfavorable changes were partially offset by lower incentive compensation expense, and lower salaries expense which was impacted by reduced headcount in the 2016 period.

Specialty Products—Six months ended June 30, 2016 versus six months ended June 30, 2015

Net written premiums for Specialty Products decreased to $246.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from $293.3 million for the comparative 2015 period. The significant decrease was driven by the exit of Crop ($26.4 million) and included the $22.1 million decrease in Healthcare reflecting the impact of corrective underwriting actions and increased competition, and to a lesser extent, a decrease at Programs of $10.6 million, as we have exited two accounts. Partially offsetting these large decreases were increases at most of our other business units, most notably Environmental ($4.3 million).

The Specialty Products combined ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2016 increased to 109.0% from 90.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as the loss and LAE ratio increased by 15.9 points to 73.3%, and the expense ratio increased by 2.7 points to 35.7%.

The 15.9 point increase to the loss and LAE ratio was comprised of a 1.5 point increase in current accident year non-catastrophe losses, a 13.9 point unfavorable change in net prior year loss reserve development and a 0.5 point increase in catastrophe losses.

The current accident year non-catastrophe loss ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was 60.7%, compared to 59.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2015, driven primarily by Healthcare, as well as a higher accident year provision in our Programs business. These unfavorable changes were partially offset by the adverse impact of Crop on the 2015 period due to the impact of severe storms in the southern United States which adversely impacted the crop-hail product.

The results for the six months ended June 30, 2016 included 11.8 points of net unfavorable prior year loss reserve development, driven by unfavorable development resulting primarily from Healthcare, and to a lesser extent, unfavorable development in Programs and in the Architects and Engineers sub-line within Other Professional Lines, which was partially offset by favorable development in Financial Services. This compared with 2.1 points of net favorable prior year loss reserve development for the six months ended June 30, 2015 driven by favorable incurred losses on the 2014 crop year within Crop and favorable development in Specialty Property and Surety that was partially offset by unfavorable development in our Tuition Reimbursement business.

The six months ended June 30, 2016 included 0.8 points of catastrophe losses which primarily related to wind and thunderstorms in Texas impacting Financial Services, compared to fairly benign catastrophe losses of 0.3 points for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

The 2.7 point increase in the expense ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015, was driven by the negative impact of lower earned premiums in the 2016 period and partially offset by favorable business mix.

Specialty Industries—Three months ended June 30, 2016 versus three months ended June 30, 2015

Net written premiums for Specialty Industries decreased slightly to $159.1 million for the second quarter of 2016 from $161.5 million for the comparative 2015 period. The decrease in the second quarter of 2016 was driven by a $6.4 million decrease at our Entertainment business due to a refinement of our underwriting appetite, which was partially offset by an increase of $5.1 million at our Accident business.

The Specialty Industries combined ratio for the second quarter of 2016 decreased to 93.4%, compared to 100.1% for the second quarter of 2015, as the loss and LAE ratio decreased by 6.2 points to 55.9%, and the expense ratio decreased by 0.5 points to 37.5%.

The 6.2 point decrease to the loss and LAE ratio was comprised of a 2.9 point decrease in current accident year non-catastrophe losses, a 2.7 point favorable change in prior year loss reserve development and a 0.6 point decrease in catastrophe losses.

The current accident year non-catastrophe loss ratio for the second quarter of 2016 was 54.5%, compared to 57.4% for the second quarter of 2015, driven by the improved performance of most of our businesses, most notably Inland Marine and Accident driven by favorable case incurred activity compared to the 2015 period.

Results for the second quarter of 2016 included 1.1 points of net favorable prior year loss reserve development driven by Technology and Accident generally resulting from better than expected case incurred activity, which was partially offset by unfavorable development in Government Risks given a recent increase in law enforcement professional claims and commercial auto liability claims and Inland Marine due to an increase in mid-size claims. This compared to 1.6 points of net unfavorable prior year loss reserve development in the second quarter of 2015, primarily driven by a large claim in Entertainment and an increase in frequency of small to medium claims in Ocean Marine, which was partially offset by favorable prior year loss reserve development in Inland Marine, Technology and Government Risks.

Results for the second quarter of 2016 included 2.5 points of catastrophe losses, driven by wind and thunderstorms in Texas impacting Inland Marine. This compared to 3.1 points of catastrophe losses in the second quarter of 2015, primarily related to wind and thunderstorms in the midwestern and southern United States, mainly Texas, impacting Government Risks and Inland Marine.

The 0.5 point decrease in the expense ratio for the second quarter of 2016, compared to the second quarter of 2015, was primarily driven by decreased insurance acquisition expenses due to business mix and lower contingent commissions.

Specialty Industries—Six months ended June 30, 2016 versus six months ended June 30, 2015

Net written premiums for Specialty Industries decreased to $294.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from $315.0 million for the comparative 2015 period. The decrease in the six months ended June 30, 2016 was driven by declines at nearly all of the business units resulting from decreased appetite and competition, and most notably due to a decrease of $9.0 million in Entertainment as a result of a refinement of our underwriting appetite.

The Specialty Industries combined ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2016 decreased to 90.0%, compared to 99.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as the loss and LAE ratio decreased by 10.6 points to 51.0%, partially offset by the expense ratio which increased 0.7 points to 39.0%.

The 10.6 point decrease to the loss and LAE ratio was comprised of a 2.3 point decrease in current accident year non-catastrophe losses, a 6.9 point favorable change in prior year loss reserve development and a 1.4 point decrease in catastrophe losses.

The current accident year non-catastrophe loss ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was 54.3%, compared to 56.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2015, driven by the improved performance of all of our businesses, most notably Inland Marine, which experienced favorable case incurred activity compared to the 2015 period and Accident resulting from favorable case incurred activity in the Transportation and Vehicle Physical Damage sub-lines.

Results for the six months ended June 30, 2016 included 5.3 points of net favorable prior year loss reserve development driven by Technology and Accident, generally resulting from better than expected case incurred activity. This compared to 1.6 points of net unfavorable prior year loss reserve development in the six months ended June 30, 2015 primarily driven by several large and small to mid-sized claims in Entertainment and several large claims in Inland Marine, partially offset by favorable prior year loss reserve development within Technology, Government Risks and Ocean Marine.

Results for the six months ended June 30, 2016 included 2.0 points of catastrophe losses, driven by wind and thunderstorms in Texas impacting Inland Marine and winter storms in the eastern United States, primarily impacting Ocean Marine. This compared to 3.4 points of catastrophe losses in the six months ended June 30, 2015, primarily related to winter storms in the northeastern United States impacting Ocean Marine and Entertainment, and wind and thunderstorms in the midwestern and southern United States, particularly Texas, impacting Government Risks and Inland Marine.

The 0.7 point increase in the expense ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015, was primarily driven by the unfavorable impact of lower earned premiums in 2016 more than offsetting the decreased insurance acquisition expenses due to lower contingent commissions and business mix.

Investing, Financing and Corporate—Three months ended June 30, 2016 versus three months ended June 30, 2015

Investing, Financing and Corporate reported pre-tax income from continuing operations of $31.2 million in the second quarter of 2016, compared to a loss of $12.2 million in the second quarter of 2015. The significant increase was driven by a higher return from our fixed maturity investments portfolio, due to interest rate movements in the second quarter of 2016 compared to the second quarter of 2015, and a higher return from our other investments portfolio driven by an $11.0 million positive valuation adjustment on the surplus notes primarily resulting from changes in credit spreads compared to a negative $1.9 million valuation adjustment for the 2015 period. Additionally, the $1.9 million favorable change in other revenues (expenses) compared to the second quarter of 2015 was driven by a $1.6 million pre-tax write-off of certain capitalized software in the second quarter of 2015.

Investing, Financing and Corporate—Six months ended June 30, 2016 versus six months ended June 30, 2015

Investing, Financing and Corporate reported pre-tax income from continuing operations of $56.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $2.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015. The significant increase was driven by a higher return from our fixed maturity investments portfolio, due to interest rate movements in the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015, and a higher return from our other investments portfolio driven by positive valuation adjustments of $11.3 million on the surplus notes primarily resulting from changes in credit spreads compared to net positive valuation adjustments of $1.1 million for the 2015 period. Additionally, the $5.9 million favorable change in other revenues (expenses) compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015 was driven by the impact of the $3.7 million negative adjustment to the pre-tax gain on the sale of Essentia, a $1.6 million pre-tax write-off of certain capitalized software and a loss on the sale of real estate of $1.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Discontinued Operations

Investment Returns—Three months ended June 30, 2016 versus three months ended June 30, 2015

Overview

Our total pre-tax investment results were $36.8 million, a return on average invested assets of 1.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to negative $3.9 million, a return on average invested assets of (0.1)% for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The increase was due primarily to a higher return from our fixed maturity investments portfolio, driven by generally declining interest rates in the second quarter of 2016 compared to generally rising rates in the second quarter of 2015. Additionally, our other investments portfolio generated a higher return for the 2016 period, driven by an $11.0 million positive valuation adjustment on the surplus notes, resulting primarily from changes in credit spreads, compared to a negative $1.9 million valuation adjustment for the 2015 period.

Fixed income

Our fixed income portfolio, which includes fixed maturity and short-term investments, returned 1.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to 0.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2015, with the increase driven by the impact of declining interest rates in the second quarter of 2016. We maintained a high quality fixed maturity investments portfolio with a relatively short duration of approximately 2.1 years excluding short-term investments and approximately 2.0 years including short-term investments, as of June 30, 2016. Our fixed income portfolio underperformed the longer-duration Barclays U.S. Intermediate Aggregate Index return by 30 basis points for the three months ended June 30, 2016, and outperformed the Barclay U.S. Intermediate Aggregate Index return by 80 basis points for the three months ended June 30, 2015.

Common equity securities and other investments

Our total common equity securities and other investments portfolio returned 3.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to (1.0)% for the three months ended June 30, 2015. Our common equity securities portfolio returned (0.5)% for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to (0.1)% for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The results underperformed the S&P 500 Index return by 300 basis points and 40 basis points for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

The following summarizes OneBeacon's investments in ETFs by exposure to each index:



	Fair Value ($ in millions)
Index	June 30, 2016		December 31, 2015
S&P 500	$	55.9	$	153.1
Russell 1000 Value	21.8		20.6
Russell 1000	9.8		9.6
Total	$	87.5	$	183.3

In the second quarter of 2016, the ETF investments earned the effective market return, before expenses, in each respective fund. OneBeacon continues to invest in publicly-traded common equity securities which are actively managed through White Mountains Advisors LLC. The portfolio had overweight exposure to the communications, consumer discretionary, and healthcare sectors and underweight exposure to the financial sector as compared to the S&P 500 Index.

Other investments, which are composed principally of hedge funds and private equity funds, as well as surplus notes, returned 10.2% and (2.4)% for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Our other investments portfolio outperformed the HFRX Equal Weighted Strategies Index return by 860 basis points and outperformed the S&P 500 Index by 770 basis points for the three months ended June 30, 2016. This outperformance was due largely to an $11.0 million positive valuation adjustment on the surplus notes resulting primarily from changes in credit spreads. When excluding the $11.0 million positive valuation adjustment on the surplus notes, the portfolio outperformed the HFRX Equal Weighted Strategies Index return by 250 basis points and the S&P 500 Index by 160 basis points for the three months ended June 30, 2016. This outperformance was driven by investments in energy-focused private equity funds, which benefited from generally rising energy prices in the three months ended June 30, 2016. For the three months ended June 30, 2015, our other investments portfolio underperformed the HFRX Equal Weighted Strategies Index by 200 basis points. This underperformance was due to unfavorable results in energy-focused private equity investments and a negative $1.9 million valuation adjustment on the surplus notes.

Investment Returns—Six months ended June 30, 2016 versus six months ended June 30, 2015

Overview

Our total pre-tax investment results were $67.8 million a return on average invested assets of 2.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $20.8 million, a return on average invested assets of 0.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The increase was due primarily to a higher return from our fixed maturity investments portfolio, driven by generally declining interest rates in the first half of 2016 compared to modest rate increases in the first half of 2015. Additionally, our other investments portfolio generated a higher return for the 2016 period, driven by positive valuation adjustments of $11.3 million on the surplus notes resulting primarily from changes in credit spreads compared to net positive valuation adjustments of $1.1 million for the 2015 period.

Fixed income

Our fixed income portfolio, which includes fixed maturity and short-term investments, returned 2.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to 1.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2015, with the increase driven by the impact of declining interest rates during the six months ended June 30, 2016. We maintained a high quality fixed maturity investments portfolio with a relatively short duration of approximately 2.1 years excluding short-term investments and approximately 2.0 years including short-term investments, as of June 30, 2016. Our fixed income portfolio underperformed the longer-duration Barclays U.S. Intermediate Aggregate Index return by 150 basis points for the six months ended June 30, 2016, and outperformed the Barclays U.S. Intermediate Aggregate Index return by 40 basis points for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Common equity securities and other investments

Our total common equity securities and other investments portfolio returned 4.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to 0.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Our common equity securities portfolio returned 1.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 2.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The results underperformed the S&P 500 Index return by 200 basis points for the six months ended June 30, 2016, and outperformed the S&P 500 Index return by 100 basis points for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Other investments, which are composed principally of hedge funds and private equity funds, as well as surplus notes, returned 10.5% and (1.5)% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Our other investments portfolio outperformed the HFRX Equal Weighted Strategies Index return by 1,030 basis points and outperformed the S&P500 Index by 670 basis points during the current period. The performance included a $13.7 million return on the surplus notes, which included net investment income of $2.4 million resulting from the receipt of an interest payment, along with an $11.3 million positive valuation adjustment, resulting primarily from changes in credit spreads. When excluding the $13.7 million positive total return on the surplus notes, the portfolio outperformed the HFRX Equal Weighted Strategies Index return by 130 basis points but underperformed the S&P500 Index by 230 basis points, for the six months ended June 30, 2016. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, our other investments portfolio underperformed the HFRX Equal Weighted Strategies Index by 300 basis points. This underperformance was due to unfavorable results in hedge funds and energy-focused private equity funds.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating Cash and Short-term Investments

Our sources and uses of cash are as follows:

Holding company level. The primary sources of cash for OneBeacon Insurance Group, Ltd. (OneBeacon Ltd.) and certain of our intermediate holding company subsidiaries are expected to be distributions and tax sharing payments received from our insurance operating subsidiaries, capital raising activities, net investment income, and proceeds from sales and maturities of holding company investments. The primary uses of cash are expected to be interest payments on our debt obligations, repurchases and retirements of our debt obligations, dividend payments on our common shares, common share repurchases, purchases of investments, payments made to tax authorities, contributions to our operating subsidiaries, and holding company operating expenses.

Operating subsidiary level. The primary sources of cash for our operating subsidiaries are expected to be premium collections, net investment income, capital raising activities, contributions from our holding companies, and proceeds from sales and maturities of investments. The primary uses of cash are expected to be claim payments, policy acquisition and other underwriting expenses, interest payments on internal debt obligations, repurchases and retirements of internal debt obligations, purchases of investments, and distributions and tax sharing payments made to parent holding companies.

Insurance companies typically collect premiums on policies that they write prior to paying claims made under those policies. During periods of premium growth, insurance companies typically experience positive cash flow from operations, as premium receipts typically exceed claim payments and other operating expenses. When this happens, positive cash flow from operations is usually offset by negative cash flow from investing activities, as the positive operating cash flow is used to purchase investments. Conversely, during periods of premium decline, insurance companies typically experience negative cash flow from operations, even during periods in which they report net income, as the claims and other operating expenses that they pay exceed the premiums that they collect. When this happens, negative cash flow from operations is typically offset by positive cash flow from investing activities, as invested assets are sold to fund current claim and expense payments.

Both internal and external forces influence our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Claim settlements, premium levels and investment returns may be impacted by changing rates of inflation and other economic conditions. In many cases, significant periods of time, sometimes several years or more, may lapse between the occurrence of an insured loss, the reporting of the loss to us and the settlement of the liability for that loss. The exact timing of the payment of claims and benefits cannot be predicted with certainty. Our operating subsidiaries maintain portfolios of invested assets with varying maturities and a substantial amount of cash and short-term investments to provide adequate liquidity for the payment of claims.

Management believes that our cash balances, cash flows from operations and cash flows from investments are adequate to meet expected cash requirements for the foreseeable future on both a holding company and operating subsidiary level.

Dividend Capacity

Under the insurance laws of the states and jurisdictions under which our insurance operating subsidiaries are domiciled, an insurer is restricted with respect to the timing and the amount of dividends it may pay without prior approval by regulatory authorities. Accordingly, there can be no assurance regarding the amount of such dividends that may be paid by such subsidiaries in the future.

Table of Contents

Our top tier regulated U.S. insurance operating subsidiary, Atlantic Specialty Insurance Company (ASIC), has the ability to pay dividends to its immediate parent during any 12-month period without the prior approval of regulatory authorities in an amount set by formula based on the lesser of net investment income, as defined by statute, or 10% of statutory surplus, in both cases as most recently reported to regulatory authorities, subject to the availability of earned surplus and subject to dividends paid in prior periods. Based upon the formula described above, most recently calculated as of March 31, 2016, ASIC has the ability to pay $29.8 million of dividends during 2016 without prior approval of regulatory authorities. As of March 31, 2016, ASIC had $631.9 million of statutory surplus and $71.5 million of earned surplus. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, ASIC paid $26.5 million of dividends to its immediate parent.

The Company is in the process of seeking regulatory approval of the redomestication of ASIC from New York, its current state of domicile, to Pennsylvania. Under the existing dividend capacity formula, most recently calculated as of December 31, 2015, for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, which is the greater of 10% of policyholder surplus or net income of the previous year, ASIC would have the ability to pay $62.2 million of dividends in 2016 if it were to be redomesticated to Pennsylvania. In April 2016, a dividend paid by ASIC to the Company of $26.5 million, reduced the $62.2 million calculated under the Pennsylvania dividend capacity formula. The Company anticipates receiving regulatory approval for the redomestication during the second half of 2016, however, there is no guarantee that this approval will be granted.

During 2016, Split Rock has the ability to pay dividends and make distributions without the prior approval of regulatory authorities, subject to meeting all appropriate liquidity and solvency requirements, of up to $37.4 million, which is equal to 15% of its December 31, 2015 statutory capital and surplus. As of December 31, 2015, Split Rock had $249.5 million of statutory capital and surplus. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, Split Rock paid $25.0 million of dividends to its immediate parent.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, our unregulated insurance operating subsidiaries paid $4.7 million of dividends to their immediate parent. As of June 30, 2016, our unregulated insurance operating subsidiaries held $100.4 million of net unrestricted cash, short-term investments, fixed maturity investments, and other investments which included surplus notes which had a fair value of $62.8 million.

As described in Note 14—"Common Shareholders' Equity" to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, we declared and paid dividends totaling $39.6 million and $40.0 million, respectively, to our common shareholders.

As of June 30, 2016, OneBeacon Ltd. and its intermediate holding company subsidiaries held $94.6 million of net unrestricted cash, short-term investments and fixed maturity investments and $26.3 million of common equity securities outside of its regulated and unregulated insurance operating subsidiaries.

Insurance Float

Insurance float is an important aspect of our insurance operations. Insurance float represents funds that an insurance company holds for a limited time. In an insurance operation, float arises because premiums are collected before losses are paid. This interval can extend over many years. During that time, the insurer invests the funds. When the premiums that an insurer collects do not cover the losses and expenses it eventually must pay, the result is an underwriting loss, which can be considered as the cost of insurance float. One manner in which we calculate our insurance float is by taking our insurance liabilities and subtracting insurance assets. Although insurance float can be calculated using numbers determined under GAAP, insurance float is not a GAAP concept and, therefore, there is no comparable GAAP measure.

Insurance float can increase in a number of ways, including through acquisitions of insurance operations, organic growth in existing insurance operations and recognition of losses that do not immediately cause a corresponding reduction in investment assets. Conversely, insurance float can decrease in a number of other ways, including sales of insurance operations, shrinking or run-off of existing insurance operations, the acquisition of operations that do not have substantial investment assets (e.g., an agency) and the recognition of gains that do not cause a corresponding increase in investment assets. We intend to generate low-cost float over time through a combination of organic growth and acquisitions. However, we seek to increase overall profits sometimes by reducing float, such as in the Runoff Transaction.

Certain operational leverage metrics can be measured with ratios that are calculated using insurance float. There are many activities that do not change the amount of insurance float at an insurance company but can have a significant impact on the company's operational leverage metrics. For example, investment gains and losses, debt issuances and repurchases/repayments, common share issuances and repurchases and dividends paid to shareholders are all activities that do not change insurance float but that can meaningfully impact operational leverage metrics that are calculated using insurance float.

Table of Contents

The following table illustrates our consolidated insurance float position and two operational leverage ratios based on insurance float as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015:



($ in millions)	June 30, 2016			December 31, 2015
Loss and LAE reserves	$	1,376.6		$	1,389.8
Unearned premiums	556.4			560.3

Insurance float as a multiple of total capital	1.2		x	1.2		x
Insurance float as a multiple of OneBeacon's common shareholders' equity	1.5		x	1.5		x

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, insurance float decreased by $20.2 million, primarily due to the slight contraction of our insurance operations.

Financing

Debt

The following table summarizes our debt to capital ratio at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015:



($ in millions)	June 30, 2016			December 31, 2015
Senior Notes, carrying value	$	273.0		$	272.9
Non-controlling interest	3.7			3.6
OneBeacon's common shareholders' equity	1,022.2			1,000.9
Total capital	$	1,298.9		$	1,277.4
Ratio of debt to total capital	21.0		%	21.4		%

We believe that we have the flexibility and capacity to obtain funds externally as needed through debt or equity financing on both a short-term and long-term basis. However, we can provide no assurance that, if needed, we would be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing on satisfactory terms, if at all.

On September 29, 2015, the Company and OneBeacon Holdings, Inc. (OBH), as co-borrowers and co-guarantors, entered into a revolving credit facility administered by U.S. Bank N.A. and including BMO Harris Bank N.A. as an additional lender, which has a total commitment of $65.0 million and has a maturity date of September 29, 2019 (Credit Facility). As of June 30, 2016, the Credit Facility was undrawn.

In November 2012, OBH issued $275.0 million face value of senior unsecured notes (2012 Senior Notes) through a public offering, at an issue price of 99.9% and received $272.9 million of proceeds. The 2012 Senior Notes bear an annual interest rate of 4.6% payable semi-annually in arrears on May 9 and November 9, until maturity on November 9, 2022, and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed as to the payment of principal and interest by the Company.

Table of Contents

The 2012 Senior Notes were issued under indentures that contain restrictive covenants which, among other things, limit the ability of the Company, OBH, and their respective subsidiaries to create liens and enter into sale and leaseback transactions and limit the ability of the Company and OBH to consolidate, merge or transfer their properties and assets. The indentures do not contain any financial ratios or specified levels of net worth or liquidity to which the Company or OBH must adhere. In addition, a failure by the Company, OBH or their respective subsidiaries to pay principal and interest on covered debt, where such failure results in the acceleration of at least $75.0 million of the principal amount of covered debt, could trigger the acceleration of the 2012 Senior Notes.

Interest payments on the 2012 Senior Notes totaled $6.3 million for both the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

As of June 30, 2016, the Company and OBH were in compliance with all of the covenants under the 2012 Senior Notes and the Credit Facility, and anticipate they will continue to remain in compliance with these covenants for the foreseeable future.

Effective January 1, 2016, the Company adopted ASU 2015-03, Imputation of Interest (ASC 835), which requires debt issuance costs to be presented as a deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt, consistent with the treatment required for debt discounts. OneBeacon has applied the guidance retrospectively and as a result has reclassified $1.9 million of debt issuance costs from other assets, reflecting these amounts as reduction from the related debt.

Capital Lease

In December 2011, we sold the majority of our then-owned fixed assets and capitalized software. We entered into lease financing arrangements with US Bancorp and Fifth Third whereby we sold furniture and equipment and capitalized software, respectively, at a cost equal to net book value. We then leased the fixed assets back from US Bancorp for a lease term of five years and leased the capitalized software back from Fifth Third for a lease term of four years. We received cash proceeds of $23.1 million as a result of entering into the sale-leaseback transactions.

In December 2015, the lease agreement with Fifth Third expired and the Company purchased the leased assets under the agreement with a remaining book value of $1.3 million for a nominal fee. At the end of the lease term with US Bancorp on December 31, 2016, the Company will purchase the leased furniture and equipment assets for a nominal fee, and all rights, title and interest will transfer back to it. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had a capital lease obligation of $0.7 million and $1.7 million, respectively, included within other liabilities and a capital lease asset of $1.8 million and $2.4 million, respectively, included within other assets.

Share Repurchase Authorization

Shares may be repurchased on the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. This authorization does not have a stated expiration date. Since the inception of this authorization, the Company has repurchased and retired 6.7 million of its Class A common shares. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, 850,349 shares were repurchased under the share repurchase authorization for $10.6 million at an average share price of $12.42.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company repurchased 64,981 and 112,051 common shares, respectively, for $0.9 million and $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, to satisfy employee income tax withholding pursuant to employee benefit plans. Shares repurchased pursuant to employee benefit plans do not reduce the board authorization referred to above.

All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included or referenced in this report that address activities, events or developments which we expect will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. The words "will," "believe," "intend," "expect," "anticipate," "project," "estimate," "predict" and similar expressions are also intended to identify forward-looking statements.

Table of Contents

These statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by us in light of our experience and judgments about historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors believed to be appropriate in the circumstances. However, whether actual results and developments will conform to our expectations is subject to a number of risks, uncertainties or other factors which are described in more detail beginning on page 18 of the Company's 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K, that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations, including:


•	changes in interest rates, debt or equity markets or other market volatility that negatively impact our investment portfolio;


•	competitive forces and the cyclicality of the property and casualty insurance industry;


•	recorded loss and loss adjustment expense reserves subsequently proving to have been inadequate;


•	claims arising from catastrophic events, such as hurricanes, windstorms, earthquakes, floods or terrorist attacks;


•	the continued availability of capital and financing;


•	the continued availability and cost of reinsurance coverage and our ability to collect reinsurance recoverables;


•	the outcome of litigation and other legal or regulatory proceedings;


•	our ability to continue meeting our debt and related service obligations or to pay dividends;


•	the ability of our technology resources to prevent a data breach and the ability of our internal controls to ensure compliance with legal and regulatory policies;


•	our ability to successfully develop new specialty businesses;


•	actions taken by rating agencies from time to time with respect to us, such as financial strength or credit rating downgrades or placing our ratings on negative watch;


•	changes in laws or regulations, or their interpretations, which are applicable to us, our competitors, our agents or our customers;


•	participation in guaranty funds and mandatory market mechanisms;


•	changes to current shareholder dividend practice and regulatory restrictions on dividends;

•	our ability to retain key personnel;


•	our status as a subsidiary of White Mountains, including potential conflicts of interest;


•	changes in tax laws or tax treaties; and


•	other factors, most of which are beyond our control.

Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this report are qualified by these cautionary statements, and there can be no assurance that the anticipated results or developments will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences. The forward-looking statements in this report speak only as of the date on which they are made. We assume no obligation to update publicly any such forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Management’s Quarterly Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required financial disclosure.

The Company's management, with the participation of the CEO and CFO (the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively), has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

PART II.	OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1.	LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

OneBeacon, and the insurance and reinsurance industry in general, is routinely subject to claims-related litigation and arbitration in the normal course of business, as well as litigation and arbitration that do not arise from, or directly relate to, claims activity. We believe that the outcome of these proceedings, even if determined adversely, would not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
