| SALE OF RENEWAL RIGHTS | SALE OF RENEWAL RIGHTS On October 26, 2025, Group entered into a Master Transaction Agreement (the “ROW Master Transaction Agreement”) with American International Group, Inc. (the “Buyer”), pursuant to which Group agreed to cause (i) Everest International Australia and Singapore branches, (ii) Ireland Insurance UK branch and (iii) Everest National Insurance Company, Everest Indemnity Insurance Company, Everest Security Insurance Company, Everest Premier Insurance Company, Everest Denali Insurance Company, Everest International Assurance, Ltd. and Everest Re to sell to Buyer the renewal rights in respect of certain lines of commercial retail insurance business, subject to certain exclusions as set forth in the ROW Master Transaction Agreement, for an aggregate purchase price of $252 million, of which $170 million was attributable to the Company. Pursuant to the ROW Master Transaction Agreement, if the gross written premium paid and payable to the Buyer in respect to the Aggregate Renewed Premiums (as defined in the ROW Master Transaction Agreement) from the closing date of the transaction to December 31, 2027 are less than 80% of the aggregate premiums for the year ended December 31, 2025, Group will reimburse a portion of the aggregate purchase price under the ROW Master Transaction Agreement to the Buyer based on the relative percentage of such 2025 premiums renewed, which amount shall not exceed $70 million. The closing of the transaction pursuant to the ROW Master Transaction Agreement occurred on October 26, 2025. Upon closing of the transaction, Group recognized a $204 million gain on sale included in other income (expense) in its consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025, of which $32 million was recognized by the Company. The remaining $47 million of the aggregate purchase price was recorded as a liability within Other liabilities on Group’s consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 due to significant uncertainty related to factors outside Group’s influence, including the Buyer's underwriting decisions and the period until resolution. Of this $47 million liability recorded by Group, $38 million was attributable to the Company. The final purchase price under the Master Transaction Agreements will be adjusted to equal 15% of the gross written premiums of the subject business for the year ended December 31, 2025, inclusive of year-end renewals as agreed between the Company and the Buyer. Under the Master Transaction Agreements, the Buyer has also agreed to pay Group a total of $10 million per month for nine months for specified transition services starting January 1, 2026, of which the Company will receive $7 million per month.

Legal expenses and merger and acquisition fees related to the sale were $9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025.
