About Peter W. H. Tan

Peter W. H. Tan (age 52) has served on the SiriusPoint Ltd. Board since February 2021 and is currently a Class I director with committee assignments on the Investment Committee and the Risk & Capital Management Committee . He is a lawyer by training (LL.B Honors, National University of Singapore) and admitted in England & Wales, Hong Kong, and Singapore; his background includes founding TGC Private Office and extensive investment and board experience across Asia and the Americas .

Governance Assessment

  • Strengths

    • Full attendance and active committee engagement (Investment; Risk & Capital Management), supporting oversight of capital allocation and enterprise risk, including cybersecurity governance through the Risk & Capital Management Committee .
    • Broad skills coverage and significant investment/board experience across geographies and sectors; legal qualifications enhance governance rigor .
    • Company-wide governance practices (no hedging/pledging; director ownership guidelines; regular executive sessions) strengthen alignment and oversight environment .
  • Risks and potential red flags

    • Independence: Not independent as of Feb 2025 due to recency of CMIG affiliation; while CM Bermuda fully exited ownership and the IRA was terminated in Feb 2025, independence designation remained impacted in the 2025 review, representing a historical conflict signal tied to a large prior shareholder .
    • Related-party exposure: The Company engaged in significant transactions with CM Bermuda in 2024–2025 (settlement/share repurchase and warrant/common share buybacks), which the Audit Committee oversees under the Related Person Transaction Policy; these transactions have now unwound CM Bermuda’s ownership and rights .
    • Director compensation alignment: As a non-independent director, Mr. Tan receives no director cash/equity compensation; alignment is primarily through beneficial ownership (18,596 shares), which is modest relative to the overall float .
  • Implications

    • Post-CM Bermuda exit reduces structural conflict risk going forward; continued monitoring of independence status in future proxy cycles is warranted .
    • Mr. Tan’s presence on Investment and Risk committees is additive for oversight, but investors may prefer evolution toward full independence for committee members over time (noting SPNT’s independent-only composition on Audit, Compensation, and Governance & Nominating committees) .
