RULING

Application for general and specific disclosure in relation to fair value of shares in appraisal proceedings under section 106 (6) of the Companies Act 1981 Date of hearing: 7 and 8 July 2025 Date of ruling: 4 August 2025 Appearances: Sharif Shivji KC and Delroy Duncan KC of Trott & Duncan Ltd for the Dissenters Alexander Cooke KC and Jonathan O’Mahoney of Conyers Dill & Pearman Limited for the Company 2

Ruling of Martin, J Introduction

1. This is an application for directions in relation to the conduct of proceedings under section 106 (6) of the Companies Act 1981 by which the plaintiffs (the “Dissenters”) seek the appraisal of the fair value of the shares in Enstar Group Limited (the “Company”) that were compulsorily acquired from them as a result of a three-stage amalgamation which concluded on 6 November 2024. This amalgamation process will be referred to as “the Transaction” and the completion date as “the Valuation Date”.

2. The total acquisition price of the shares was in the order of US$5 billion1, at a value of US$383.00 per share. In the event that the acquisition price for the shares was less than their fair value, there are potentially huge sums involved.

3. The Dissenters have taken a comprehensive approach to the need for full disclosure in relation to the valuation of the acquisition shares. The Company has raised a number of objections to the breadth and scope of the documents sought, and the attendant cost and time required to meet the Dissenters’ requests for general and specific disclosure.

4. Thankfully, however, there are quite a number of aspects to the disclosure application which are not in controversy. The parties helpfully provided a draft Order for Directions that incorporated their respective positions on the categories that were in dispute. The Court has used this draft to arrive at a final form of Directions Order that is appended to this Ruling as Schedule 1, taking into account the Court’s decisions on the disputed items that are set out below. Disclosure (discovery)

5. The Dissenters have sought an order for general disclosure (or “discovery”) under the standard provisions that apply to civil litigation under the Rules of the Supreme Court of Bermuda 1985 (the “RSC”) in relation to all documents relating to the Transaction. This is in order to be able to provide as much information as possible to the valuation experts that will be instructed to prepare appraisal reports both on behalf of the Company and the Dissenters, and which will form the basis of the Court’s ultimate appraisal of the fair value of the acquired shares. 1Beaulne 1 paragraph 33 HB1 at 285 3

6. The material covered by the general disclosure obligation extends to all information that is reasonably necessary for the valuation experts (i) to assess the correct methodology or combination of methodologies to arrive at an opinion on fair value of the shares of this particular company at the Valuation Date (ii) to prepare a report to assist the Court in reaching its appraisal of the fair value of the shares at the Valuation Date based on all the relevant information and (iii) to enable the expert valuation witnesses to test the assumptions and methodologies that were used in reaching the Fairness Opinion2 that supported the Board’s recommendation of the Transaction to the shareholders, and to assess the effect of any limitations in the Fairness Opinion.

7. In addition to an order for general disclosure, or perhaps more accurately as part of that process, the Dissenters have also made an application under RSC Order 24 rule 3 for disclosure of specified classes of documents that the Dissenters consider to be relevant. These specific requests are set out in Appendix 3 to the draft Directions Order (“Appendix 3”).

8. The Company has proposed a number of revisions to the requests made in Appendix 3 to limit and restrict the range of documents and materials that are to be produced. The Company has also made a request for specific disclosure from the Dissenters, the details of which are set out in Appendix 4 to the draft Directions Order (“Appendix 4”). These requests have been amended and expanded from the range of items originally sought, and the Dissenters have proposed revisions to those requests to bring them in line with what the Dissenters consider to be relevant and established authority.

9. The Dissenters say that the specific requests made in Appendix 3 are not intended to be a substitute or limitation on the Company’s obligations to provide general disclosure, but are designed (i) to achieve an early disclosure of materials which should be readily available in advance of general disclosure, and (ii) to serve as a guide for the categories of documents that the Dissenters consider to have particular relevance to the issues the valuation experts will need to consider. Summary of the positions taken by the parties

10. The main areas of disagreement are concerned with how broadly those requests should be granted. The principal areas of disagreement are as follows (in summary): (i) Company says that the Dissenters’ request for disclosure of material which relates to potential transactions or potential transaction opportunities which did not proceed 2 Goldman Sachs Fairness Opinion at HB 2 pages 831-4. 4

is too broad and is irrelevant; (ii) the Company also says that the documents that were not presented to the Board are irrelevant because the valuation exercise only concerns what action the Board took, and the opinions of others at a lower level of management or the documents they may have prepared or considered are peripheral or no relevance to the task that the valuers will be called upon to undertake; (iii) the Company says some categories are also said to be too broad or if they are potentially relevant, their identification and disclosure gives rise to a disproportionate level of expense and time and volume of material relative to their significance that the court should not order disclosure of it; and (v) the Company says some categories are said to be plainly irrelevant or potentially misleading.

11. The Dissenters’ valuation consultant, Mr Hopkins3, says that the requests are justified because these broader categories of document inform the valuer and provide insight as to the assumptions and expectations of management, which in turn sheds light on the expected future performance of the Company, and its decision-making approach, which leads to a better understanding of the approach to assessing fair value.

12. The Company has (somewhat belatedly) accepted that it will comply with the request for general discovery and has agreed, subject to various proposed limitations and exceptions, to provide a number of the specific disclosure requests made in Appendix 3, but has objected to a number of categories on the basis that they are irrelevant or that it would be onerous and disproportionate to have to search and produce those categories of documents.

13. A number of requests are objected to on the basis that the documents and information requested are irrelevant (based on the expert evidence on valuation provided by Mr. Beaulne4 on behalf of the Company) or its production would be onerous or disproportionate based on evidence provided by Mr. Shettle5, a senior in- house lawyer employed by the Company who has sworn an affidavit setting out the amount of information certain requests would involve and the estimated time and costs of searching for and producing the information requested. Mr. Shettle has estimated the time required to search for and produce the documents requested by the Dissenters would take over 400,000 man hours at an estimated cost of US$100 million6. 3 Hopkins 1 HB 1 213 4 Beaulne 1 HB 1 278 5 Shettle 1 HB 1 251 6 Shettle 1 paragraph 18 HB 1 at 256-7 [e.g. 15 attorneys working 10 hours a day for 2708 days]. 5

14. In response to Mr. Shettle’s affidavit, the Dissenters have adduced expert evidence from Mr. Theron7, who is an experienced edsicovery expert who has explained that (in his view) the costs and time required to comply with the Dissenters’ requests have been much exaggerated by Mr. Shettle, and that in actuality the exercise could be achieved within a relatively compressed timeframe at a cost of US$1.5-2.5 million8.

15. Mr Hopkins also responded to Mr. Beaulne’s affidavit9, explaining the basis on which he disagrees with Mr. Beaulne’s rejection of the relevance of the categories of document requested, and maintaining his position that the documents would be relevant for the conduct of the valuation. The Court’s approach to the relevant legal principles

16. Happily, the Court does not need to grapple with any issues of legal principle or complexity and so a fully developed discussion of all the relevant legal principles to be applied in the context of this application is neither necessary nor useful. It is sufficient to record that this Court is indebted to, and will endeavour to follow and apply, the judicial guidance that has already been given by the courts in Bermuda in recent years. The Court will record by way of summary a few of the general principles that the Court has had regard to in approaching the issues on this application.

17. The exercise the Court is engaged in an appraisal action is a quasi-inquisitorial process, as opposed to a purely adversarial process10. In order to determine fair value, the court needs to have all relevant or potentially11 relevant information to determine fair value. The relevant information will be primarily in the hands of the company and its financial advisers. Accordingly, in the ordinary case, the company should provide general discovery of all relevant information in its possession in relation to the issue of the fair valuation of the shares at the Valuation Date. It will only be in an exceptional case that general disclosure by the company will not be ordered12. 7 Theron 1 HB1. 8 Theron 1 paragraph 14 HB1 at 371-2. 9 Hopkins 2 HB1 314. 10 See APS Holding Corp and Alpine Partners BVI LP v Myovant Sciences Ltd [2023] SC (Bda) 67 Civ (25 Aug 2023) at paragraph 19 per Hargun CJ. 11 See Glendina Pty Limited v NKWE Platinum Ltd [2022] SC (Bda) 31 March 2022 per Hargun CJ. 12 APS Holding Corp and Alpine Partners BVI LP v Myovant Sciences Ltd (supra) per Hargun CJ at paragraphs 23 to 27. See also Re Qunar Cayman Islands Limited [2017] (2) CILR 24 paras 22-31 per Parker J. 6

18. As a matter of fairness, the duty of disclosure also applies to the Dissenters, albeit in a more limited way. If the Dissenters have in their possession documents, reports, analyses, projections and comparative data in respect of the companies in which they invest, their industries, markets, competitors, or other documentary material which relates to the value of the company, then this material is also the subject of the obligation to make disclosure13.

19. The Court’s approach should be guided by the objectives of justice, expedition and economy, adopting a balanced approach to the opposing contentions in a disputed application for disclosure, and to encourage the parties to cooperate14. The Court’s approach to the expert evidence

20. The valuation experts disagree on which categories of document are strictly necessary or relevant to the appraisal process. The Court is not, however, in a position to determine which expert is “right” or to be able to express any determination of their respective opinions. The Court has therefore taken their respective comments and views into account in making its own decision as to where to draw the line in respect of the relevance or proportionality of the request for disclosure.

21. At the trial of the proceedings, the Court will be able to make a determination of the preferred approach to valuation, with the benefit of reports from each side. At that stage, the Court can determine or evaluate the merits of the approach to valuation that each expert has taken and come to a final view. But until then, the Court must allow each expert to have access to such material as they each consider to be reasonably necessary to prepare their respective reports.

22. The Court’s decision in each category is accordingly based on the Court’s assessment of what it considers necessary for the fair disposal of the issues in the appraisal action, and what is proportionate and reasonable. In the analysis, the Court did not find that any request for disclosure made by the Dissenters was so plainly irrelevant that it could (or should) be excluded from production, albeit that in some instances the Court has some doubts as to the weight that might be placed upon some categories. But that is not a reason for exclusion from production.

23. The Court is also not in a position to make any assessment of the potential weight that might be attributed to a class of documents, and until the reports have been produced the Court must be astute not to express any tentative views. 13 See In Re Qunar Cayman Islands Limited [2018] (1) CILR 199 at paragraph 75 per Rix JA. 14 See In re Nord Anglia Education Inc. [2018] (1) CLR 164 at paragraphs 8 and 9 and per Kawaley J. 7

24. As a result, the Court has approached the question of disclosure on the basis of what appears to be reasonably necessary for the respective parties for the fair presentation of their case and the disposal of the issue(s) in dispute. It may well be that in some categories more information may be required and may be sought by the respective experts under the protocol for making additional requests for information.

25. Before addressing each disputed category of documents listed in Appendices 3 and 4, the Court needs to make some general remarks and observations on some specific points that were raised by the parties in the course of argument, and which have informed the approach the Court has taken. Proportionality

26. It is necessary to make some general observations on the objections made by the Company as to the proportionality of the requests based on the evidence given in Mr. Shettle’s affidavit.

27. The Court acknowledges that some of the categories will include large files of data. However, the Court accepts the Dissenters’ submission that the file size of itself is not a guide to relevance or complexity. The Company’s objection as to proportionality on these grounds is premature.

28. While the Court acknowledges that there will be significant cost to the production exercise, but that alone is not a bar to ordering it, the Court is satisfied that the cost and complexity of the production exercise will be greatly reduced from the scale predicted by Mr. Shettle by the efficient use of ediscovery techniques, using AI and other forensic software.

29. Although both Mr. Shettle and Mr. Theron are by necessity making “best-guess” estimates of time and cost at this stage, the Court does not consider Mr. Shettle’s time and cost estimates, which are based on a manual process of search, production and review, to be realistic in the modern context of commercial litigation. It seems to the Court that the disclosure exercise can be conducted at a much lower cost and take much less time if appropriate use is made of available technology and AI resources.

30. In the event that there is a category of documents that is so large that it is not possible to produce the documents within the timetable provided, an application can be made to the Court to revise it, based on clear evidence and specific information that the Court (and the other parties) can assess. Until then, the Company must take 8

all reasonable steps to ensure that the disclosure obligation is fulfilled in accordance with the terms of the Court’s Order for Directions.

31. The Court notes that it is not satisfied (on the evidence presently before the Court) that the requests made by the Dissenters are oppressive or represent a “drains up” approach to disclosure15. On the present evidence, the Court accepts that the disclosure of the classes of documents sought by the Dissenters are reasonably required for the fair disposal of the issues in dispute in these proceedings. Documents that are “potentially relevant”

32. There was debate over the expression of producing documents which were relevant or potentially relevant in Appendix 3 to the Draft Order. The Company took the position that only relevant documents were to be produced. The Dissenters expressed the concern that the Company would exercise its own judgment as to what it (or its experts) considered relevant, and that there was a risk that only documents that were considered from the Company’s view of relevance would be produced, thereby limiting the disclosure unfairly.

33. This concern arose because Mr. Beaulne took a much narrower stance on relevance than Mr Hopkins and invited the Court to exclude categories of documents that he considered to be unnecessary or outside the proper scope of the appraisal process. The Court takes the view that at this stage of the proceedings it is necessary to ensure that ‘relevance’ is to be assessed by reference to what both experts consider will be necessary to take into account in preparing their reports. The words “or potentially relevant”16 have therefore been retained in the Court’s final version of the Order as a shorthand expression for those documents which the respective experts reasonably require to prepare their reports, based on what they each consider to be necessary to approach the task of appraisal of the fair value of the shares at the Valuation Date.

34. The Court's focus is on efficiency and expedition, but above all, fairness and transparency. Limitations placed by the Company on the scope of disclosure

35. The Company expressed its agreement to produce some categories of document on the basis that the Company understood the relevant request was being made on a 15 The court has in mind the court’s duty not to permit a fishing expedition under the guise of disclosure (see e.g. the dictum in APS Holding Corp v Sumitomo Pharma UK Holdings [2025] SC (Bda) 16 civ at paragraph 106 per Mussenden CJ). 16 See Glendina Pty Ltd v NKWE Platinum Ltd (supra). 9

particular basis. The Dissenters pointed out that the obligation to produce documents was not limited to the Company’s interpretation of what was being requested but extended to the general obligation to provide disclosure of all relevant (or potentially relevant) documents.

36. For the avoidance of doubt, the Court accepts the submission made by the Dissenters that the Company’s obligation is to produce all documents relevant or potentially relevant to the issue of fair value, and the Company is not entitled to reduce the scope of that obligation by limiting its disclosure to the Company’s “understanding” of what is being sought. Consolidation of accounts

37. The Company took the position that because the Company is a parent company and that the historic accounting treatment of the group has been presented on a consolidated basis, it would only provide disclosure of the consolidated accounts17. The Dissenters explained that the unconsolidated accounts for each underlying company are important in order to understand the profit centres within the group, which will have an important bearing on the assessment of the approach to fair value18.

38. In the Court’s view, it is not possible to prepare consolidated accounts without the raw materials which would be constituted by unconsolidated accounts. Those materials are therefore available to the Company. It is entirely reasonable and proportionate for the Dissenters to have disclosure of those materials, which the Court is satisfied fall within the category of documents that are relevant or potentially relevant to the issue of fair value. Documents provided to the Board

39. The Company also took the position that it would only disclose documents that had been provided to the Board on the basis that any other documents were not considered by the Board and therefore would be irrelevant19. The Dissenters explained that the documents provided to the Board were likely to be summarised and more limited than the documents prepared by management and therefore would not represent the wider approach that executive management had or were likely to have considered, before presenting those documents to the Board for approval or decision making20. 17 Beaulne 1 paragraphs 52-3 HB1 page 291. Shettle 1 paragraphs 34-5 HB 1 page 262. 18 Hopkins 1 paragraph 56 HB1 page 235-6 and Hopkins 2 paragraphs 73-8 HB1 pages 337-8. 19 Beaulne 1 paragraphs 45-47 and 66-8 HB1 pages 288 and 294-5. Shettle 1 paragraph 27 HB1 p 260. 20 Hopkins 2 paragraphs 18-28 HB1 at pages 320-2 10

40. The Court accepts the submissions made by the Dissenters on this point. The Company is run by an executive team which has a very deep and thorough understanding of the Company’s business and its activities. To limit the disclosure to those documents which were presented to the Board, without including disclosure of those documents which were relevant but which were filtered out in a screening, or which were summarised, would be an unjustified restriction. The test is relevance and the fair disposal of the issues in the proceedings. Privilege Log

41. The Company took objection to the provision of a “privilege log” on the grounds that it would be a disproportionate exercise. The Court does not see that this is a valid objection. RSC Order 24 rule 5 (2) makes provision for such a log in express terms. This is a requirement of the rules, albeit “...more honour’d in the breach than the observance” in practice.

42. The documents will need to be reviewed to exclude items covered by privilege, and it will not add any additional cost to keep a log of the document that for which privilege is claimed, with brief details as to the basis of the claim to privilege. Highly sensitive documents

43. The Company took objection to providing highly sensitive documents, except under strict limitations as to the conditions on which they could be reviewed and by whom. Again, it is premature to make a general ruling on the way in which those documents need to be addressed, and when disclosure has been prepared, if the Company wishes to seek a direction for special treatment in respect of a particular document or group of documents, then application can be made. However, the Court observes that the usual protection afforded by (i) the usual implied undertaking that disclosed documents will only be used for the purposes of these proceedings and (ii) the terms of the confidentiality agreement between the parties should be sufficient protection. In order to exclude a document on these grounds, the Company will need to provide some compelling evidence to support the application. Confidentiality Agreement

44. It was suggested by the Company that the Confidentiality Agreement had to be signed by the individual lawyers and experts who are instructed in the case, so that they would each be parties to the agreement with direct rights of enforcement. The Court does not consider that this is appropriate. The usual arrangement is that each party to the agreement will take steps to ensure that its own advisers will observe its terms, and that it would be inappropriate to allow direct enforcement between the 11

Company and the individual lawyers and experts instructed by the Dissenters (and vice versa). Timetable for disclosure

45. The parties were largely agreed on the time limits for the disclosure process. However, the Court has adjusted the time limits in some areas to give effect to some of the concerns raised by the Company as to the realistic timescale in which some of the disclosure tasks can be accomplished. The time limits are set out in the final form of Directions Order appended to this Ruling. “Look-back” periods

46. It is not in dispute that the Company will provide disclosure of documents for a period that commences 5 years prior to the Valuation Date, as is now standard in cases is such as these.

47. The Company however seeks also disclosure from the Dissenters of all documents in their possession, custody or control that relate to the valuation of the Company’s shares for a period of 2 years prior to the date each Dissenter first acquired his her or its shares. As a matter of fairness as between the parties, it seems to the Court that this is not so unreasonable or disproportionate as not to be justified.

48. However, the Court is not satisfied that there could be any sensible relevance to documents in the possession power or control of the Dissenters that relate to the value of the shares more than 5 years prior to the Valuation Date. Therefore, the cut off date for this request will be a maximum of 5 years prior to the Valuation Date Specific disclosure sought by the Dissenters

49. The Court has addressed the request for specific disclosure on an item-by-item basis in respect of the requests for disclosure by the Dissenters in Appendix 3. Rather than itemize each disputed item, the Court has prepared a table which records each category of request and briefly states the party's positions in relation thereto and the Court has recorded in shorthand its conclusion in relation to each item.

50. It is not necessary to set out the rival positions on the categories of documents sought by the Company against the Dissenters which cover broad categories of documents and are not specifically targeted.

51. The Court agrees that the Dissenters’ version of this request set out in paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 of the Dissenters’ proposed draft capture the range of material which the Dissenters should disclose and covers the items that would fall under paragraphs 2 to 6 of the Company’s version of the proposed Order. Disclosure under Appendix 2

52. The Court agrees that the additional email thread analytics proposed by the Dissenters in paragraph 2A and 11 are sensible and proportionate and they are therefore included in the final form of the Order.

53. The Company’s proposed exclusion of metadata in paragraphs 5 and 12 is rejected, but it is noted that the obligation on the Company is to produce the document in the form it was created, and the Company does not need to recreate any information to meet the requirements of paragraph 5. Principal Directions

54. Paragraph 1: As already addressed above, the individual advisers do not need to execute the NDA directly but will be required to comply with the terms of the NDA by their respective clients. Therefore, the deletion proposed by the Dissenters is accepted. 24

55. Paragraph 2: the terms of paragraph 2 proposed by the Dissenters are accepted by the Court, but subject to the revision of the time for the Company’s disclosure will be: Paragraph 2.1: 60 days from the date of the Order, not 30 days. Paragraph 2.2: 90 days form the date of the Order, not 60 days. Paragraph 2.3: 120 days from the date of the Order not 90 days.

56. Paragraphs 3,4 and 5: the revisions proposed by the Dissenters are accepted by the Court.

57. Paragraph 7: the time for the Dissenters disclosure for Appendix 4 documents will be adjusted from 60 to 90 days from the date of the Order to reflect the additional look- back period up to 5 years prior to the Transaction.

58. Paragraph 8: the proposed revisions of the Dissenters are accepted by the Court.

59. Paragraphs 13 and 13 A: the revisions proposed by the Dissenters are accepted by the Court for the reasons already explained.

60. Paragraph 14: the period of 28 days is too short, and the Court accepts the Company’s proposal of 90 days from the date in paragraph 2.3 for the service of factual witness statements.

61. Paragraph 15: The Dissenters’ factual evidence is likely to be responsive in nature, so a period of 60 days is considered appropriate.

62. Paragraphs 22 to 26: the proposed revisions made by the Dissenters are accepted by the Court. Although there is a risk of “stacking” of requests, the Company can apply for an extension if one is not agreed by the Dissenters. The Court expects the Dissenters to make reasonable and proper efforts not to make multiple requests, and to proceed as efficiently as possible. The usual safeguards in costs will apply in a case of unreasonable refusal to extend time that is reasonably required to answer the request.

63. Paragraphs 27-31: the proposals made by the Dissenters are accepted by the Court.

64. Paragraph 35: the time for setting down has been extended to 180 days from the date of the Order. 25

Costs

65. Paragraph 37: although much was said about the incidence of costs, the Court does not consider it appropriate to make an Order for costs based on the substantial acceptance of the proposals made by the Dissenters. It is not unusual for issues as to case management and disclosure to be contested, and the Court should be slow to penalise parties in costs at this stage unless they take entirely unreasonable and unprincipled positions. Although the Court did not find favour with most of the submissions made on behalf of the Company, the Court considers the appropriate order is that the costs of the contested disclosure application should be the costs in the cause. Order for Directions

66. The Court has also prepared a final version of the draft Directions Order incorporating the conclusions set out above and has appended the Court’s version of the final Order to this Ruling as Schedule 1.

67. The Dissenters are to provide a stamped Order (and sufficient additional copies for the parties) reflecting the terms set out in Schedule 1 for the Court’s execution as soon as possible21. Dated this 4th August 2025 ________________________________

[FINAL] ORDER FOR DIRECTIONS

28

UPON the Originating Summonses of the Plaintiffs (the "Proceedings") AND UPON the Originating Summonses being listed together for a first return hearing (which was treated as a directions hearing) on 27 March 2025 AND UPON capitalised terms not otherwise defined having the meaning ascribed in the Defendant's definitive proxy statement filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and dated 11 October 2024 (the "Proxy") AND UPON hearing Leading Counsel for the Plaintiffs and Leading Counsel for the Defendant

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT:

A. Electronic Data Room and Defendant’s Discovery 1 Within 14 days from the date of this Order, the Defendant shall instruct a data room service provider to open an electronic data room (the "Data Room") and provide access to: 1.1 the Valuation Experts (as defined below); 1.2 any Additional Experts (as defined below) (if appointed); 1.3 each person whom the Valuation Experts or any Additional Experts appoint to assist them with any work relating to the proceedings; 1.4 the Plaintiffs (including their respective investment managers); and 1.5 the Parties' agents, advisers, sub-advisers, representatives, affiliates, service providers and their respective legal advisors ("Representatives"); provided always that, before access is provided, the Defendant and the Plaintiffs shall first have entered into the non-disclosure and confidentiality agreement ("NDA") at Appendix 1. 2 The Defendant shall upload to the Data Room all Documents (as defined in Appendix 2), within the Defendant's possession, custody or power, as follows: 2.1 Within 60 days of the date of this Order all Documents: (a) that were provided by the Defendant to the Reinvesting Shareholders, the Buyer Parties, Party A, Sixth Street, the Sixth Street Filing Parties, or the CEO Filing Party 29

in connection with or as part of their due diligence investigations into the Defendant; and (b) that were made available to Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC for the purpose of preparing the fairness opinion dated 29 July 2024. 2.2 within 90 days of the date of this Order, all Documents set out in Appendix 3 of this Order which were prepared, created, sent or received in the 5-year period ending on the Valuation Date (as defined below); and 2.3 within 120 days of the date of this Order, all other Documents prepared, created, sent or received in the 5-year period ending on the Valuation Date which are relevant or potentially relevant to the determination of the fair value of the Plaintiffs' shares in the Defendant as at the Valuation Date. 3 All parties who have been given access to the Data Room shall be given full access rights to the Documents therein whilst the Proceedings (and any appeal therefrom) are extant, save that no party will have the ability to modify Documents in-situ within the Data Room; however, all such Documents shall be in a form which the Parties can download to their own systems either individually or (upon request to, and facilitated by, the Data Room service provider) as a bulk download and, in turn, modify outside of the Data Room. For the avoidance of doubt, the establishment by the Plaintiffs of any alternative data room shall not in any way limit their rights under this Directions Order to access to the Data Room. 4 The reasonable costs of and associated with the establishment and maintenance of the Data Room, including the Data Room provider's costs of (i) uploading, processing and hosting the Documents added to the Data Room, (ii) producing indexes in the form provided for in paragraph 11 and 12 below and any updated versions thereof, (iii) technical support, including the costs of facilitating any bulk export or download of Documents and (iv) persons seeking access to the Data Room in accordance with this Order, shall be borne initially by the Defendant on an ongoing basis but shall ultimately be costs in the Proceedings. 5 The Defendant shall, on an ongoing basis whilst the Proceedings are extant, bear the costs of 10 access codes for the Plaintiffs, in addition to any access codes the Valuation Experts or any Additional Experts may require, to facilitate access to the Data Room (such costs ultimately to be costs in the Proceedings). Should any Plaintiff require additional access to the Data 30

Room, such Plaintiff shall bear the specific costs of such access, and the Defendant will arrange for such costs to be charged by the Data Room provider to the Plaintiff directly. 6 No Data Room usage report, or any other analysis of any Party's usage of the Data Room, shall be run by any Party on the usage of another Party, its Representatives, or its appointed Valuation Expert, or any Additional Expert, or Appointees without that Party's express written consent or order of the Court. B. Plaintiffs’ Discovery 7 The Plaintiffs shall upload to the Data Room within 90 days of this Order, Documents in their possession, custody or power falling within the categories of Documents identified at Appendix 4 of this Order which were prepared and created in the 5-year period ending on the Valuation Date and which are relevant to the determination of the fair value of the shares in the Defendant as at the Valuation Date. 8 The costs of hosting such Documents in the Data Room (but not in any alternative data room, which costs shall be borne initially by the Plaintiffs on an ongoing basis, but shall ultimately be costs in the Proceedings) shall be borne initially by the Defendant on an ongoing basis but shall ultimately be costs in the Proceedings. 9 Each Plaintiff’s disclosure shall be made available to the Defendant and the Experts but not to any other Plaintiff. C. Disclosure Protocol 10 The Parties shall comply with the disclosure protocol at Appendix 2 hereto when disclosing and producing Documents (by way of upload to the Data Room or any alternative data room). In relation to Documents that have been redacted pursuant to Appendix 2, upon request, Documents shall be provided in their native format manually amended by way of deletion of redacted information. D. Lists of Documents 11 The Parties shall ensure that all Documents they upload to the Data Room are appropriately indexed in an electronically searchable form pursuant to Appendix 2 ("Data Room Index"), which shall be compiled in a manner which complies with the requirements of the Rules of 31

the Supreme Court 1985 ("RSC") O.24, r.5. The Data Room Indices shall be provided (and thereafter updated) at the same time as any Documents are disclosed and uploaded to the Data Room. Any such changes in the content of the Data Room shall be clearly identified at the same time they are made. 12 In relation to the Documents which are to be disclosed pursuant to this Order, the Parties shall, on the respective dates for compliance specified in paragraphs 2 and 7 above, and at any other time when disclosure is provided, produce (or update) their respective Data Room Index in accordance with Appendix 2 and RSC O.24, r.5. So long as the Data Room Index has been compiled and provided in a manner which complies with the requirements of RSC O.24, r.5, it shall be treated as Part 1 of Schedule 1 of the respective Party's list of documents in accordance with RSC O.24, r.5(1). 13 Where a Party withholds Documents, or redacts information contained within Documents, in accordance with the Appendix 2, it shall provide an itemized list of any such documents ("Privilege Log"). The Privilege Log shall include the data described at paragraph 18 of Appendix 2, and a summary of the basis for the privilege claimed. Nothing in this Order or in Appendix 2 hereto shall derogate from each Party's implied obligation not to use the Documents or information obtained thereby for any improper or collateral purpose. DA Enhanced Confidentiality Measures 13A The Parties shall have liberty to apply for further directions for enhanced confidentiality measures in relation to documents individually identified, or within a specific narrow category of documents. E. Fact Witness Evidence 14 Any factual witness evidence to be relied upon at trial by the Defendant shall be filed and served within 90 days of the date referred to at paragraph 2.3 above. 15 The Plaintiffs shall file and serve any factual witness evidence by no later than 60 days thereafter. 16 The Defendant shall file and serve any factual witness evidence in reply to the Plaintiffs' factual witness evidence by no later than 14 days thereafter. 17 Leave is hereby granted to the Parties to cross-examine any fact witness on their evidence and any such witness shall attend for cross- examination. Any Party that intends to cross-examine 32

a fact witness shall give the other Party's attorneys notice of that fact at least 28 days before the witness is required to attend for cross-examination. F. Experts 18 The Parties shall have leave to instruct and to call as a witness at trial one expert witness each in the field of valuation (each a "Valuation Expert" and together the "Valuation Experts") to opine upon the fair value of the Plaintiffs' shares in the Defendant as at 6 November 2024 (the "Valuation Date"). 19 The Valuation Experts shall be appointed, and the Parties shall advise each other of the identities and contact details of the respective Valuation Experts so appointed by no later than 60 days from this Order. 20 No later than 21 days after the date for the Defendant to file and serve factual evidence in reply pursuant to paragraph 16 above, the Parties shall notify each other of any additional expert evidence they wish to seek leave to adduce (including as to deal process or specific industry sectors) ("Additional Expert(s)") and proposed directions for evidence of any Additional Expert. The Parties shall then confer as soon as practicable with the view to determining whether agreement can be reached, subject to the grant of leave, to adduce evidence of any Additional Expert(s) and, if so, directions in respect of such evidence including as to the making of Information Requests. 21 In the event of agreement, the Parties shall, as soon as practicable, file a Consent Order with the Court seeking leave to adduce evidence of any Additional Expert(s) and directions for such expert evidence that are agreed. To the extent of any disagreement over whether leave should be granted to adduce evidence of any Additional Expert(s), or in relation to directions for such expert evidence, any application to the Court to resolve such disagreement shall be made no later than 21 days of the date that the notification was provided pursuant to paragraph 20 above. G. Experts’ Information Requests 22 The Valuation Experts shall be entitled, for the purpose of preparing their reports, to make written requests of the Defendant for (a) the provision of Documents and/or (b) the provision of information ("Information Requests"). Such requests may be made from the date on which the Valuation Experts are appointed, pursuant to paragraph 19 above. For the avoidance 33

of doubt, the Valuation Experts shall be entitled to make Information Requests for Documents and information that came into existence before or after the Valuation Date. For the avoidance of doubt, should an Information Request be received by either Party after 5.30 p.m. (Bermuda time), the timeframes above shall begin to run from 8.30 a.m. (Bermuda time) the following business day (being any calendar day on which banks are open in Bermuda). 23 The Defendant shall respond in writing to each Information Request as soon as practicable and in any event by no later than 21 days from the date of the Information Request. If the Defendant is unable or unwilling to provide the Documents and/or information that is subject to an Information Request, it shall, within 21 days of the request: (i) provide all responses it is able to provide (including requested or responsive documents), and (ii) apply to Court to be relieved of the obligation to comply with the balance of the request and/or to extend the time for complying with the request (if agreement cannot be reached between the Parties). 24 The Defendant will, in all cases, disclose with and cite in its responses any Document(s) that support its answers to an Information Request. Where no such Document(s) exist, the Defendant will confirm this as part of its answer to the Information Request. The Defendant shall disclose and produce (by way of upload to the Data Room) all responses and Documents provided in response to an Information Request in accordance with the disclosure protocol at Appendix 2. 25 Any Information Requests and any responses from the Defendant thereto shall be copied simultaneously by email to the Valuation Experts and the Plaintiffs' attorneys. For the avoidance of doubt, all communications between a Valuation Expert or their Appointees and the Defendant concerning an Information Request (including in relation to the answers to be given thereto), shall be in written form and shall be copied to the Parties' attorneys and the Valuation Expert for the opposing Party. 26 Unless otherwise agreed amongst the Parties, the cut-off date for the submission of the final Information Request to the Defendant is 28 days before the date fixed for the exchange of Expert Reports (as provided for at paragraph 27.2below). H. Valuation Expert Reports and Valuation Experts' Joint Memorandum 27 Signed reports (the "Valuation Expert Reports") of each of the Valuation Experts shall be: 27.1 confined to the issue of the fair value of the Plaintiffs’ shares as at the Valuation Date; 34

27.2 filed and exchanged simultaneously within 120 days of the date for the Defendant to file and serve factual evidence in reply pursuant to paragraph 16; and 27.3 stated to be prepared in compliance with the Rules of the Supreme Court 1985 and the duties of an expert identified at paragraph 48 of the Supreme Court of Bermuda decision, A. Brewster et al. v The Premier of Bermuda et al. [2021] SC (Bda) 45 Civ (9 June 2021). 28 The Valuation Experts shall meet at a mutually convenient time, whether in person, by telephone call or video link or howsoever they shall decide (the "Valuation Experts’ Meeting"), but no later than 14 days after the exchange of the Valuation Expert Reports, to discuss the differences between their respective reports with a view to narrowing the issues between them and producing the Joint Memorandum required by paragraph 27. 29 A joint memorandum of the Valuation Experts (the "Valuation Experts’ Joint Memorandum") recording: 29.1 the fact that they have met; 29.2 when and where they met, and that they discussed the issues of expert evidence; 29.3 the issues on which they agree; 29.4 the issues on which they disagree; and 29.5 a brief summary of the reasons for any such disagreement, shall be completed and issued to the Parties by the Valuation Experts by no later than 14 days following the Valuation Experts’ Meeting. 30 Any supplemental Valuation Expert Reports (the "Supplemental Valuation Expert Reports") shall be exchanged simultaneously by no later than 28 days following the issuance of the Valuation Experts’ Joint Memorandum. 31 The Parties shall be at liberty to cross-examine the opposing Party's Valuation Expert and any Additional Experts on their report(s) at trial. 35

I. Case Management, Case Management Conference and Trial Date 32 Unless the Parties otherwise agree, a case management conference shall be held on the earliest date convenient to the Court and the Parties’ counsel no less than 14 days after the deadline for exchange of any Supplemental Valuation Expert Reports in accordance with paragraph 31. 33 The Parties shall, on an ongoing basis while the proceedings are extant, pay the costs of the recording and transcription of any hearings (such costs to be allocated 50% to the Plaintiffs and 50% to the Defendant in the first instance, but ultimately to be costs in the proceedings), subject to the Parties agreeing on the supplier and fee quote prior to each hearing or to dispense with recording and/or transcription. 34 Liberty for any Party to apply to modify this Order or for further directions in respect of the matters addressed in this Order. 35 No sooner than 180 days from the date of this Order, the Parties shall seek to agree and thereafter provide the Court with a provisional estimate together with mutually available dates of Counsel for the trial to be fixed. In the absence of agreement, any Party may apply for further directions in relation to the listing of the trial. 36 Originating Summons 2024: No. 333 and Originating Summons 2024: No. 334 shall be consolidated, case managed and tried together. 37 Costs in the cause.

APPENDIX 1

Non-Disclosure and Confidentiality Agreement pursuant to paragraph 1 of this Order This Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Agreement (the "Agreement"), effective [date] (the "Effective Date"), is entered into

BETWEEN

Enstar Group Limited (the "Company") a company incorporated under the laws of the Bermuda and having its registered office address at c/o Conyers Dill & Pearman, Clarendon House, 2 Church Street, Hamilton, Pembroke HM11, Bermuda (the "Company")

AND

[NAME], a company incorporated under the laws of [jurisdiction] and having its registered office address at [address], (each herein referred to individually as a "Party", and collectively as the "Parties").

WHEREAS

(A) On 6 November 2024, at a special meeting of shareholders, the members of the Company passed a resolution approving three mergers which resulted in the merger between the Company and Elk Merger Sub Limited (“Parent Merger Sub”), (the "Merger"). As a result of the Merger and upon completion thereof, the Company will cease to be a publicly traded company and certain shareholders' shares in the Company will be cancelled in exchange for the right receive a payment of US$338 per share. (B) Certain shareholders of the Company (each a "Plaintiff", and collectively the "Plaintiffs") commenced proceedings in the Supreme Court of Bermuda on 8 November 2024 to have the fair value of their shares determined by the court pursuant to section 106 of the Companies Act 1981. The proceedings were issued with cause numbers 333 and 334 of 2024 (collectively the "Proceedings"). (C) Pursuant to an order for directions in the Proceedings dated [●] (the "Directions Order"), the Company is to establish an electronic data room (the "Data Room") to which discovered documents are to be uploaded for the purposes of the Proceedings. 1

(D) The Parties are engaged in proprietary and confidential business activities, and could be prejudiced if Confidential Information (as defined herein) is disclosed publicly or to third parties, or used by the Recipient, its Expert, Representatives and/or Appointees (as defined herein) for purposes not reasonably related to the Proceedings. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the mutual agreements and covenants hereinafter set forth, and intending to be legally bound, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

1 DEFINITIONS AND INTERPRETATION 1.1 In this Agreement the following words and expressions shall have the following meanings: (i) "Affiliates" means a corporation that is related to another corporation by shareholdings or other means of control; a subsidiary, parent or sibling corporation. (ii) "Appointee" means each person whom an Expert appoints to assist them in any work relating to the Proceedings, including the preparation of the Expert Reports and the Joint Expert Memorandum (such other terms as defined in the Directions Order) and any other preparations in relation to the Proceedings.

(iv) "Expert" means the respective expert witnesses appointed by the Company and the Plaintiffs in relation to the Proceedings.

2. Custodians means those persons likely to have discoverable Documents in their possession, custody or power. 2A. Email Thread Analytics means the eDiscovery feature that groups emails into threads based on content and metadata (e.g., sender, subject, timestamp) and identifies most-inclusive emails, which consolidate all previous replies and forwards into a single version.

3. Metadata means data about data. In the case of an electronic Document, metadata is typically embedded information about the Document that is not readily accessible once the native electronic Document has been converted into an electronic image or paper Document, for example, the date on which the Document was last printed or amended. Metadata may be created automatically by a computer system (system metadata) or may be created manually by a user (application metadata).

4. MD5 Hash Value means the Message Digest algorithm 5 which is used to provide a 128-bit hash or "digital signature" for electronic Documents and is generated upon the basis of the binary data of a file; where two or more items have the same MD5 Hash Value they are deemed to be duplicates. 1

5. Native File Format means an electronic Document stored in the original form in which it was created by a computer software program (including all metadata).

6. Non-Custodial Data Sources means those data sources (such as shared drives, servers, etc.) likely to contain electronically stored information that would be subject to disclosure.

7. Parent Document means a Document with one or more attachments and/or embedded and/or linked or otherwise connected files. For example, an email is a parent Document and any Documents attached to and/or embedded within the email are its attachments. A parent Document and its attachments are family-inclusive, or family Documents. B. Preservation of Documents

8. The Parties will preserve all potentially discoverable Documents, including the metadata of such Documents, and ensure no metadata is altered during the preservation, collection, review or disclosure process. C. De-duplication

9. Stand-alone electronic Documents or entire Document families with the same MD5 Hash Value will be identified and any duplicates removed, except: 9.1. where duplicates are added to a List of Documents because they are family members of other Documents which are also disclosed. Duplicates which are part of a family are not to be removed, unless the whole of the family is in fact a duplicate of another family; and 9.2. scanned hard copy Documents.

10. A deNIST filter will be applied to the Documents during processing to identify and remove files that are generally created by operating systems or applications and contain no user-generated information or data.

11. Subject to the rest of this protocol, every email in a chain shall be provided in its original, native format as a separate document, together with its attachments (if any).If Email Thread Analytics are used to group emails into the same thread, and a relevant email is part of that thread, then all most-inclusive versions of the thread should be produced as separate documents in native format, in accordance with this protocol. A most-inclusive version means any end-point of the 2

thread that contains unique content or attachments. For the avoidance of doubt, if the most- inclusive version of a thread does not show the full date, time, and sender information for all emails in the thread, then each individual email in the thread shall be produced in native format, in accordance with this protocol. Any email in a thread with a unique attachment must be produced separately with its attachments, in native format in accordance with this protocol. All attachments to any produced email will also be produced with their relationship to the parent email identified by their Bates number. D. Format

Electronic Documents are to be provided in their Native File Format, with all functionality, such as formulae and computations intact and enabled, and without watermarking or hardcoding subject to: 12.1. Documents, other than excel spreadsheets, that have been redacted in accordance with this protocol, which Documents will be produced in Tagged Image File Format ("TIFF") with the relevant .opt file and Document ID coding; 12.2. Excel spreadsheets, that have been redacted in accordance with this protocol, which Documents will be produced in a Native Format or near Native Format by using a software solution that retains the full functionality of the excel spreadsheet while applying redactions, such as Milyli, Evolver, or Redact Assistant. For the avoidance of doubt, documents disclosed in this way will not be hardcoded and will be disclosed containing (or, where that is not possible, together with) all native formulae and computations; and 12.3. For the avoidance of doubt, any documents redacted and not produced in their Native File Format in accordance with this paragraph 12, shall be produced with all required metadata.

13. All PDF and TIFF Documents will be provided with corresponding Document level OCR text files where possible. All PDF and TIFF Documents will also be bates stamped with the Document ID.
