Risks

• The price per Common Share may change significantly following this offering, and investors may not be able to resell their Common Shares at or above the price they paid or at all, and investors could lose all or part of their investment as a result.
• If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about Fidelis Insurance Groups business or if they downgrade the Common Shares or the (re)insurance industry generally, or if there is any fluctuation in Fidelis Insurance Groups ratings, the price of the Common Shares and trading volume could decline.
• If FIHL, the Selling Shareholders or other existing shareholders sell additional Common Shares after this offering or are perceived by the public markets as intending to sell additional Common Shares, the market price of the Common Shares could decline.
• Future offerings of debt or equity securities which would rank senior to the Common Shares may adversely affect the market price of the Common Shares.
• We are currently listed on the NYSE. If we are unable to maintain listing of the Common Shares on the NYSE or any stock exchange, our stock price could be adversely affected and the liquidity of the Common Shares and our ability to obtain financing could be impaired and it may be more difficult for our shareholders to sell their Common Shares.
