Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
Effective as of March 23, 2018, RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd. (the "Company") terminated the Standby Letter of Credit Agreement, dated as of May 19, 2015 (the "LOC Agreement"), among Renaissance Reinsurance Ltd., RenaissanceRe Specialty Risks Ltd. (no longer in existence), DaVinci Reinsurance Ltd., Platinum Underwriters Bermuda, Ltd. (no longer in existence) (collectively, the "Applicants"), the Company and National Australia Bank Limited. The Applicants are (or were, in the case of those Applicants no longer in existence) subsidiaries of the Company. The LOC Agreement provided for a secured, uncommitted facility under which letters of credit in an aggregate amount of up to AUD 50,000,000 could be issued from time to time for the respective accounts of the Applicants, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein. The Company determined that it no longer required the LOC Agreement, which had originally been entered into to support certain reinsurance obligations. The Company maintains sufficient capacity under its continuing credit facilities to meet its estimated future needs.
