Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On September 9, 2024, Enstar Group Limited (the “Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries entered into (1) Amendment No. 1 to Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement, by and among the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, as borrowers and guarantors, National Australia Bank Limited (“NAB”), as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto and (2) Amendment No. 1 to Amended and Restated Letter of Credit Facility Agreement, by and among the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, as guarantors, its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cavello Bay Reinsurance Limited, as borrower, NAB, as administrative agent and several L/C issuing bank, and the lenders party thereto (together, the “Amendments”).
The Amendments were made in connection with the Company’s entry into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Elk Bidco Limited (“Parent”) and the other parties thereto, dated as of July 29, 2024, as disclosed on the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on the same date. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company, certain wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent intend to effect a series of mergers, with the Company surviving such mergers as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Transaction”).
The Amendments make certain changes to the respective underlying debt agreements that will take effect immediately prior to the consummation of the Transaction, including:
(1) revising the definition of “Change of Control,” amending or adding certain other definitions and amending certain covenants to accommodate the consummation of the Transaction and the Company’s post-Transaction ownership structure;
(2) modifying the financial covenants to test compliance on the last day of each fiscal quarter and resetting the calculation of the minimum consolidated net worth covenant such that (x) the $4.3 billion floor amount will be replaced with an amount equal to the greater of (a) $3 billion and (b) an amount equal to the product of (i) 70% times (ii) an amount equal to (A) the consolidated net worth of the Company immediately after the Transaction less (B) $500 million and (y) the portion of net income available for distribution to common shareholders and proceeds from common share issuances that are added to the minimum consolidated net worth covenant will be measured from the first fiscal quarter-end date that occurs after the consummation of the Transaction rather than June 30, 2022; and
(3) adding a customary right to cure breaches of financial covenants, subject to certain limitations, including on the number of times and frequency with which such cure right may be exercised during the term of the applicable debt agreements.
The Amendments also serve as a consent from each lender party to such Amendments to the consummation of the Transaction and a waiver of certain cross-defaults under certain of the Company’s bilateral debt agreements that may otherwise result from the consummation of the Transaction.
Certain of the lenders and other parties to the Amendments, and their affiliates, have in the past provided, and may in the future provide, investment banking, underwriting, lending, commercial banking and other advisory services to the Company and its subsidiaries. Such lenders and other parties have received, and may in the future receive, customary compensation from the Company and its subsidiaries for such services.
The foregoing description of the Amendments is qualified by reference to the full text of the Amendments filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, each of which is incorporated herein by reference. For a complete description of the material terms of the credit agreements, please refer to Item 1.01 of the Company’s Report on Form 8-K filed on June 1, 2023, and Item 1.01 of the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 2, 2023.

AGREEMENT
The parties to this Amendment, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
1. Amendments to Existing Credit Agreement. Upon the occurrence of the Bidco Acquisition Effective Date (it being understood and agreed that the amendments set forth in this Section 1 shall be deemed to occur immediately prior to the Bidco Acquisition Effective Date):
a. the following definition appearing in Section 1.01 of the Existing Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
“Change of Control” means (a) prior to an IPO, the Permitted Holders shall cease to beneficially own or control, directly or indirectly through one or more holding company parents of the Parent, more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting Equity Interests in the Parent unless the Permitted Holders otherwise have the right (pursuant to contract, proxy or otherwise), directly or indirectly, to designate, nominate or appoint (and do so designate, nominate or appoint) 50% or more of the board of directors or equivalent governing body of the Parent and (b) after an IPO, the acquisition of ownership, directly or indirectly, beneficially or of record, by any Person or group, other than the Permitted Holders (directly or indirectly, including through one or more holding companies), of Equity Interests representing 50% or more of the voting Equity Interests in the IPO Entity, unless the Permitted Holders (directly or indirectly, including through one of more holding companies) otherwise have the right (pursuant to contract, proxy or otherwise), directly or indirectly, to designate, nominate or appoint (and do so designate, nominate or appoint) 50% or more of the board of directors or equivalent governing body of the IPO Entity. For the avoidance of doubt, the consummation of the Bidco Acquisition shall be deemed to not be a Change of Control.
For purposes of this definition, (i) “beneficial ownership” shall be as defined in Rules 13(d)-3 and 13(d)-5 under the Exchange Act, (ii) the phrase Person or “group” is within the meaning of Section 13(d) or 14(d) of the Exchange Act, but excluding any employee benefit plan of such Person or “group” and its subsidiaries and any Person acting in its capacity as trustee, agent or other fiduciary or administrator of any such plan, (iii) if any Person or “group” (other than a Permitted Holder) includes one or more Permitted Holders, the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of the Parent or the IPO Entity, as applicable, directly or indirectly owned by the Permitted Holders that are part of such Person or “group” shall not be treated as being owned by such Person or “group” for purposes of determining whether this definition is triggered, (iv) a Person or “group” (other than a Permitted Holder) shall not be deemed to beneficially own Equity Interests (x) to be acquired by such Person or “group” pursuant to an equity or asset purchase agreement, merger agreement, option agreement, warrant agreement or similar agreement (or voting or option or similar agreement related thereto) until the consummation of the acquisition of the Equity Interests in connection with the transactions contemplated by such agreement or (y) solely as a result of veto or approval rights in any joint venture agreement, shareholder agreement, investor rights agreement or other similar agreement (in each case, so long as such Person does not have the right to direct the voting of the Equity Interests subject to such right), (v) a Person or group (other than a Permitted Holder) will not be deemed to beneficially own Equity Interests of another Person as a result of its ownership of Equity Interests or other securities of such other Person’s parent (or related contractual rights) unless it owns more than 50% of the total voting power of the Equity Interests of such Person’s parent and (vi) the right to acquire Equity Interests (so long as such Person does not have the right to direct the voting of the Equity Interests subject to such right) or any veto power in connection with the acquisition or disposition of Equity Interests will not cause a party to be a beneficial owner.

Amount and if, after giving effect to the foregoing pro forma adjustments, the Parent shall then be in compliance with such applicable financial covenant for such fiscal quarter, the Parent shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of such applicable financial covenant as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or default of such financial covenant that had occurred shall be deemed cured for the purposes of this Agreement.

3. Representations and Warranties. Each Loan Party hereby represents and warrants, as of the date of this Amendment, that:
a. The representations and warranties in each Loan Document to which it is a party are true and correct in all material respects with the same effect as though made on and as of the date hereof, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date; provided that, in each case, such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that already are qualified or modified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect in the text thereof;

c. This Amendment is a Loan Document. Henceforth, this Amendment and the Credit Agreement shall be read together as one document and the Existing Credit Agreement shall be modified accordingly. No course of dealing on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any of their respective officers, nor any failure or delay in the exercise of any right by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, shall operate as a waiver thereof, and any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude any later exercise of any such right. The failure at any time to require strict performance by the Loan Parties of any provision of the Loan Documents shall not affect any right of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance.

f. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.

As used herein, “Electronic Signatures” means any electronic symbol or process attached to, or associated with, any contract or other record and adopted by a person with the intent to sign, authenticate or accept such contract or record.

C. In accordance with Section 10.02(b) of the Existing L/C Facility Agreement, the Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent and Lenders constituting the Required Lenders have agreed to amend the Existing L/C Facility Agreement, in accordance with the terms, and subject to the conditions, set forth herein.
AGREEMENT
The parties to this Amendment, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
1. Amendments to Existing L/C Facility Agreement. Upon the occurrence of the Bidco Acquisition Effective Date (it being understood and agreed that the amendments set forth in this Section 1 shall be deemed to occur immediately prior to the Bidco Acquisition Effective Date):
a. the following definition appearing in Section 1.01 of the Existing L/C Facility Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
“Change of Control” means (a) prior to an IPO, the Permitted Holders shall cease to beneficially own or control, directly or indirectly through one or more holding company parents of the Parent, more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting Equity Interests in the Parent unless the Permitted Holders otherwise have the right (pursuant to contract, proxy or otherwise), directly or indirectly, to designate, nominate or appoint (and do so designate, nominate or appoint) 50% or more of the board of directors or equivalent governing body of the Parent and (b) after an IPO, the acquisition of ownership, directly or indirectly, beneficially or of record, by any Person or group, other than the Permitted Holders (directly or indirectly, including through one or more holding companies), of Equity Interests representing 50% or more of the voting Equity Interests in the IPO Entity, unless the Permitted Holders (directly or indirectly, including through one of more holding companies) otherwise have the right (pursuant to contract, proxy or otherwise), directly or indirectly, to designate, nominate or appoint (and do so designate, nominate or appoint) 50% or more of the board of directors or equivalent governing body of the IPO Entity. For the avoidance of doubt, the consummation of the Bidco Acquisition shall be deemed to not be a Change of Control.
For purposes of this definition, (i) “beneficial ownership” shall be as defined in Rules 13(d)-3 and 13(d)-5 under the Exchange Act, (ii) the phrase Person or “group” is within the meaning of Section 13(d) or 14(d) of the Exchange Act, but excluding any employee benefit plan of such Person or “group” and its subsidiaries and any Person acting in its capacity as trustee, agent or other fiduciary or administrator of any such plan, (iii) if any Person or “group” (other than a Permitted Holder) includes one or more Permitted Holders, the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of the Parent or the IPO Entity, as applicable, directly or indirectly owned by the Permitted Holders that are part of such Person or “group” shall not be treated as being owned by such Person or “group” for purposes of determining whether this definition is triggered, (iv) a Person or “group” (other than a Permitted Holder) shall not be deemed to beneficially own Equity Interests (x) to be acquired by such Person or “group” pursuant to an equity or asset purchase agreement, merger agreement, option agreement, warrant agreement or similar agreement (or voting or option or similar agreement related thereto) until the consummation of the acquisition of the Equity Interests in connection with the transactions contemplated by such agreement or (y) solely as a result of veto or approval rights in any joint venture agreement, shareholder agreement, investor rights agreement or other similar agreement (in each case, so long as such Person does not have the right to direct the voting of the Equity Interests subject to such right), (v) a Person or group (other than a Permitted Holder) will not be deemed to beneficially own Equity Interests of another Person as a result of its ownership of Equity Interests or other securities of such other Person’s parent (or related contractual rights) unless it owns more than 50% of the total voting power of the Equity Interests of such Person’s parent and (vi) the right to acquire Equity Interests (so long as such Person does not have the right to direct the voting of the Equity Interests subject to such right) or any veto power in connection with the acquisition or disposition of Equity Interests will not cause a party to be a beneficial owner.

p. the following new Section 7.03 shall be added to Existing L/C Facility Agreement:
“7.03 Right to Cure.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 7.01, in the event that the Parent fails to comply with the requirements of the applicable financial covenants set forth in Section 6.12, at any time after the beginning of such fiscal quarter in which such non-compliance occurs until the expiration of the fifteenth (15th) Business Day subsequent to the date on which the financial statements with respect to such fiscal quarter (or the fiscal year ended on the last day of such fiscal quarter) are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or (b), as applicable, the Parent shall have the right to issue Equity Interests for cash or otherwise receive cash contributions to the capital of the Parent as cash common equity (or other Equity Interests on terms reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) (collectively, the “Cure Right”), and upon the
receipt by the Parent of the net proceeds of such issuance (the “Cure Amount”) pursuant to the exercise by the Parent of such Cure Right, such applicable financial covenant set forth in Section 6.12 shall be recalculated such that Consolidated Net Worth shall be increased with respect to such applicable fiscal quarter by an amount equal to the Cure Amount and if, after giving effect to the foregoing pro forma adjustments, the Parent shall then be in compliance with such applicable financial covenant for such fiscal quarter, the Parent shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of such applicable financial covenant as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or default of such financial covenant that had occurred shall be deemed cured for the purposes of this Agreement.
(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to all financial covenants set forth in Section 6.12, (i) in each four consecutive fiscal quarter period of the Parent there shall be at least two (2) fiscal quarters in which the Cure Right is not exercised with respect to any financial covenant, (ii) no two Cure Rights may be exercised in consecutive fiscal quarters, (iii) during the term of this Agreement, the Cure Right shall not be exercised more than four (4) times with respect to any financial covenant, (iv) for purposes of this Section 7.03, the Cure Amount shall be no greater than the minimum amount required for purposes of complying with such financial covenants, and any amounts in excess thereof shall not be deemed to be a Cure Amount and (v) during any period in which the failure of the Parent to comply with Section 6.12 would be an Event of Default but for the provisions of this Section 7.03, the Finance Parties shall not be required to make a L/C Credit Extension until the Parent has received the Cure Amount required to cause the Parent to be compliant with the financial covenants set forth in Section 6.12.”
2. Consent to the Bidco Acquisition. Each Lender party hereto (which, for the avoidance of doubt, constitutes the Required Lenders) (i) consents to the consummation of the Bidco Acquisition and the transactions to be consummated in connection therewith on or about the Bidco Acquisition Effective Date in each case, for all purposes under the Credit Documents and (ii) waives any Event of Default under Section 7.01(f) relating to a “default”, “Event of Default” or any equivalent term under any bilateral agreement between the Parent and/or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and a financial institution, on the other hand, that results, on the Bidco Acquisition Effective Date, in a “Change of Control” or equivalent concept under such bilateral agreement as a result of such financial entity refusing to consent to the Bidco Acquisition or to amendments to such underlying bilateral agreement that would result in the Bidco Acquisition not being a “Change of Control” or equivalent concept under such bilateral agreement.
3. Representations and Warranties. Each Credit Party hereby represents and warrants, as of the date of this Amendment, that:
a. The representations and warranties in each Credit Document to which it is a party are true and correct in all material respects with the same effect as though made on and as of the date hereof, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date; provided that, in each case, such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that already are qualified or modified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect in the text thereof;
b. The execution and delivery of this Amendment has been duly authorized by all necessary organizational action of such Credit Party; this Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by such Credit Party and is a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Credit Party, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and to general principles of equity;
c. The transactions contemplated by this Amendment (a) do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (b) will not violate any Law applicable to such Credit Party, (c) will not violate or result in a default under any other material Contractual Obligation binding upon such Credit Party or affecting its assets, and (d) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of such Credit Party; and
d. No Default has occurred and is continuing or would result after giving effect to this Amendment.
4. Ratification and Confirmation of Credit Documents.
a. Except as expressly set forth herein, the execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment shall not alter, modify, amend, or in any way affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants, guarantees or agreements contained in the Existing L/C Facility Agreement or any other Credit Document, all of which shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be impaired or affected, and shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power, or remedy of the Administrative Agent or any Lender under the Existing L/C Facility Agreement or any other Credit Document.
b. Each Credit Party hereby acknowledges that it has read this Amendment and consents to the terms hereof, and hereby confirms and agrees that notwithstanding the effectiveness of this Amendment, the obligations of such Credit Party under the Credit Documents to which it is a party, including all guarantees thereunder, shall not be impaired or affected and such Credit Documents, including all guarantees thereunder and all promissory notes and all other instruments, documents and agreements entered into by such Credit Party in connection with such Credit Documents are, and shall continue to be, in full force and effect and are hereby confirmed and ratified in all respects.
c. Each Credit Party further agrees that nothing in the Existing L/C Facility Agreement, this Amendment or any other Credit Document shall be deemed to require the consent of such Credit Party to any future amendment to the L/C Facility Agreement, except to the extent that the consent of such Credit Party to such amendment is expressly required under the L/C Facility Agreement.
d. Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment, each Lender shall continue to be a party to the L/C Facility Agreement as a Lender.
5. Effectiveness. This Amendment shall become effective on the date first written above only upon satisfaction of the following conditions precedent on or prior to such date unless otherwise waived in writing by Lenders constituting the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent:
a. The Administrative Agent shall have acknowledged receipt of a counterpart of this Amendment signed on behalf of each Credit Party and Lenders constituting the Required Lenders.
b. Each Credit Party shall have paid all fees, costs and expenses (including all reasonable and documented legal fees and expenses) agreed in writing to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection herewith to the extent due (and, in the case of expenses (including legal fees and expenses), to the extent that statements for such expenses shall have been delivered to the Borrower on or prior to the date hereof.
6. [Reserved.]
7. Miscellaneous.
a. The Credit Parties acknowledge and agree that the representations and warranties set forth herein are material inducements to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to deliver this Amendment.
b. This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto, and their respective permitted successors and assigns.
c. This Amendment is a Credit Document. Henceforth, this Amendment and the L/C Facility Agreement shall be read together as one document and the Existing L/C Facility Agreement shall be modified accordingly. No course of dealing on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any of their respective officers, nor any failure or delay in the exercise of any right by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, shall operate as a waiver thereof, and any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude any later exercise of any such right. The failure at any time to require strict performance by the Credit Parties of any provision of the Credit Documents shall not affect any right of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance. Any suspension or waiver of a right must be in writing signed by an officer of the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders, as applicable, pursuant to and in accordance with the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, Section 10.02 of the L/C Facility Agreement. No other person or entity, other than the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, shall be entitled to claim any right or benefit hereunder, including, without limitation, the status of a third party beneficiary hereunder.
d. This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without reference to conflicts of law rules. The provisions of Section 10.09 and Section 10.10 of the L/C Facility Agreement apply to this Amendment mutatis mutandis as if they were incorporated herein.
e. If any provision of this Amendment or any of the other Credit Documents shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that portion shall be deemed severed therefrom, and the remaining parts shall remain in full force as though the invalid, illegal or unenforceable portion had never been a part thereof.
f. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to this Amendment and/or any document to be signed in connection with this Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures (as defined below), deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be. As used herein, “Electronic Signatures” means any electronic symbol or process attached to, or associated with, any contract or other record and adopted by a person with the intent to sign, authenticate or accept such contract or record.
g. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Bidco Acquisition Effective Date has not occurred upon or prior to the valid termination of the Bidco Acquisition Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof, this Amendment shall be of no further force and effect and none of the amendments provided herein shall be made to the Existing L/C Facility Agreement.
For purposes of this clause (g), the “Bidco Acquisition Agreement” shall mean that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 29, 2024, among Elk Bidco Limited, Elk Merger Sub Limited, the Parent and certain other parties thereto, as amended, restated, amended and restated or otherwise modified from time to time.
