With brief suspension of dividend payments in 2020 we utilised the time to revisit our dividend strategy
• Beazley will operate a progressive dividend policy going forward, intending to grow dividend each year but
recognising that some earnings fluctuations are to be expected.
• When determining the level of dividend, we consider the Group’s capital position, future investment and
growth opportunities and our ability to generate cash flows. To the extent that our capital levels are significantly
in excess of what we need to invest in profitable growth, we will look to return capital to shareholders.
• Going forward, we intend to align our dividend payments more closely to our capital planning cycle.
Given the strong growth opportunities we see across our business over the medium term, we intend to declare
dividends annually with an announcement on a dividend with respect to the prior financial year as a whole at our
full year results and with payment in March.
Our updated dividend strategy

Capital position remains strong
• Our funding is made up of our own equity (on a Solvency II basis) plus $550m of Tier 2 debt and $450m of
banking facility (of which $225m remains unutilised and not included within the surplus calculation).
• As at 31 December 2021 the surplus capital is 27% of the Lloyd’s ECR* (including Solvency II adjustments)
which is above preferred range of 15% - 25%. This moves to 22% post dividend.
• The ECR requirement already anticipates growth planned in all the business written to the end of 2022.
• Requirement for the US insurance company is based on 300% of risk based capital. We continue to use
a captive arrangement set up in 2020 to manage our capital requirements in the US.
• We continue to use reinsurance as a tool to manage our capital position.
*Note: Ultimate plus 35%

  • 7. 7 With brief suspension of dividend payments in 2020 we utilised the time to revisit our dividend strategy • Beazley will operate a progressive dividend policy going forward, intending to grow dividend each year but recognising that some earnings fluctuations are to be expected. • When determining the level of dividend, we consider the Group’s capital position, future investment and growth opportunities and our ability to generate cash flows. To the extent that our capital levels are significantly in excess of what we need to invest in profitable growth, we will look to return capital to shareholders. • Going forward, we intend to align our dividend payments more closely to our capital planning cycle. Given the strong growth opportunities we see across our business over the medium term, we intend to declare dividends annually with an announcement on a dividend with respect to the prior financial year as a whole at our full year results and with payment in March. Our updated dividend strategy
