Strategic GoalsN/AN/AN/AMet at TargetN/A33.3% of target
  • The Committee adjusted 2024 STI calculations to exclude strategic review costs, retroactive reinsurance premiums (E&S ADC and Top-Up ADC), and retention awards; payouts ranged 59.1%–93.1% of target depending on role .

LTI (executives): PRSUs based on three-year adjusted operating ROATCE and growth in adjusted tangible common equity per share; service-based RSUs vest over three years .

Other Directorships & Interlocks

  • Compensation consultant: Aon plc’s Human Capital Solutions engaged as independent advisor; Committee evaluated independence under SEC/Nasdaq; concluded no conflicts. Note an Aon affiliate provided insurance brokerage services to JRVR in 2023; independence review considered this and still concluded independence .

Equity Ownership

HolderBeneficial Ownership (Common)% of OutstandingNotes
Peter B. Migliorato25,615<1%As of Sept 3, 2025; directors required to own ≥3x cash retainer within five years; RSUs counted per guideline rules; PRSUs excluded .

Ownership and trading policies:

  • Share ownership guidelines: non-employee directors must reach 3x annual cash retainer within five years; retention requirements on vested shares until compliant .
  • Anti-hedging/anti-pledging: Directors prohibited from pledging, hedging, short sales, margin accounts, or trading derivatives on JRVR stock .

Governance Assessment

  • Strengths

    • Independent director; chairs Compensation & Human Capital Committee; member of Audit Committee, enhancing pay oversight and financial controls .
    • Active engagement: ≥75% attendance threshold met in 2024; AGM attendance in 2024 by all nominated directors .
    • Pay governance: Use of independent consultant (Aon), robust clawback policy for executives, clear STI and LTI frameworks; strong say-on-pay support (97.3% in 2024) indicating investor confidence in pay practices .
    • Director compensation structure mixes cash and equity (RSUs) to align interests; ownership guidelines reinforce alignment .
  • Watch items

    • Committee exercised substantial discretion to adjust 2024 STI metrics upward, increasing payouts despite negative unadjusted results; continued scrutiny warranted on calibration of adjustments vs. performance rigor .
    • Consultant independence: while Aon independence was affirmed, presence of other Aon affiliate services historically (insurance brokerage) may attract investor questions; transparency and continued independent oversight remain key .
    • Significant shareholder influence: Gallatin Point’s preferred equity terms include a board designee (Botein); while unrelated to Migliorato, concentrated ownership may affect board dynamics and should be monitored for potential conflicts across committees .
  • No disclosed related-party transactions involving Migliorato; Audit Committee oversees and approves any director/executive related-party transactions per policy .
