Hamilton Insurance Group, Ltd. Value Appreciation Pool Rules and Form of Award Agreement

I am pleased to inform you that you have been granted an Award under the Hamilton Insurance Group, Ltd. Value Appreciation Pool (the "VAP").

Your Award was granted on XXX, or the first day of your employment, if later, and comprises a fixed number of units which form part of the VAP.

Your Award is subject to the terms of the VAP as specified in the Hamilton VAP Rules (see attached). Unless otherwise defined herein, the capitalised terms below shall have the meaning given to them in the VAP Rules.

Your Award gives you the right to a payment in cash, shares or a combination of both (as determined by the Board) equal to the value of the units on the date your award is triggered. In the normal course of events, the first 50% of your Award will vest (i.e. you will become entitled to receive a payment in cash, shares, or a combination of both) on the first anniversary of a Trigger Event (an IPO, a Change in Control or a Major Sale) and the second 50% of your Award will vest one year after the first vesting date. If a Trigger Event has not occurred by 31 December 2025, the first 50% of your Award will vest on that date, and the second 50% of your Award will vest one year later.

If you leave the Group before any part of your Award has vested your Award will ordinarily be forfeited. Exceptionally, if you leave before a Trigger Event due to retirement, disability evidenced to the satisfaction of the Board, or if you die in service, then your Award will vest early.

1.I understand that this Declaration will apply to the Award granted to me under the VAP.

2.I am aware that the VAP Rules have been made available to me.

3.I agree to be bound by the VAP Rules as amended from time to time.

4.I confirm, understand and agree that:

(a)the fact that I have received an Award under the VAP does not give me any right to receive further Awards under the VAP;

(b)on cessation of employment with the Group, my Award will lapse (save in specific circumstances);

(c)in circumstances where my Award may vest following cessation of employment, the extent of vesting may be less than would have been the case had such employment continued;

(d)my participation in, and the operation of, the VAP will not form part of or affect my contract of employment or my employment relationship nor will it give me the right to continued employment;

(e)specific provisions are included in the VAP Rules under which I waive any claims to compensation in respect of the VAP when I leave employment; and

(f)benefits under the VAP do not constitute pensionable earnings or remuneration.

I agree that any personal data I supply in relation to my Award may be transferred and/or processed for any purpose relating to the operation of the VAP by Hamilton Insurance Group, Ltd. and any other relevant third parties acting on their behalf.

to any person who is eligible to be granted an Award under Rule 2 (Eligibility).

3.2Method of grant

Each Award will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that specifies the number of Units awarded, the Vesting of the Award, and such other provisions as the Board determines; provided, however, that the terms of the Award Agreement will not contain any provisions inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, and in the event of any conflict between a provision of the Plan and a provision of an Award Agreement, the provision of the Plan shall supersede and control.

Subject to Rule 3.5 (Approvals and Consents) an Award may be granted at any time at the discretion of the Board.

4.2Lapsed Awards

If any Units subject to an Award are forfeited, cancelled or terminated, or expire or lapse for any reason without payment, any such Units thereunder will again be available for an Award under the Plan. For the avoidance of doubt where an Award has lapsed the Units comprising the

5.VESTING OF AWARDS

5.1Timing of Vesting: Normal Vesting Dates

Subject to Rule 8 (Good Leavers) and Rule 7 (Lapse of Awards), provided that the Participant is employed by the Group and has neither given nor received notice to terminate their employment with the Group, either for Cause or not for Cause:

(a)following the Trigger Event Date each Award shall Vest as follows:

(i)50% on the one year anniversary of the Trigger Event Date, and

(ii)50% on the second anniversary of the Trigger Event Date

(b)on the Deemed Trigger Event Date each Award shall Vest as follows:

(i)50% on the Deemed Trigger Event Date, and

(ii)50% on the one year anniversary of the Deemed Trigger Event Date.

6.CONSEQUENCES OF TRIGGER EVENT OR DEEMED TRIGGER EVENT

6.1Amount of Award

However, if on the Trigger Event Date the price-to-book ratio of the Company is less than 1.15 the Underpin shall apply and the Board shall determine the amount of the Award using the Underpin to provide the Goodwill Growth Value.

The Underpin shall not apply to Awards that Vest on an Early Vesting Date or on the Deemed Trigger Event Date.

6.2Payment

Subject to Rule 5 (Vesting of Awards) and Rule 8 (Good Leavers):

(a)The Company will make a cash payment or issue shares, or a combination of cash and shares (as determined by the Board), to the Participant within 30 days of:

(i)each Normal Vesting Date following a Trigger Event; or

(ii)the date the amount of the Award is determined under Rule 6.1 (Amount of Award) following an Early Vesting Date or the Deemed Vesting Date,

in each case based on the amount of the Award determined under Rule 6.1 (Amount of Award), subject to Rule 6.5 (Payment of Tax Liability).

(b)Where an Award is satisfied in shares, the Company shall issue shares equal to the value of the Award determined under Rule 6.1 (Amount of Award), based on the prevailing Fair Market Value as at the applicable Vesting Date per share.

6.3Conversion

Where an Award is satisfied in cash, any payment shall be converted into the local currency of the employee at the rate of exchange prevailing at the close of business on the Vesting Date as reported on the website openexchangerates.org or equivalent.

6.4Termination of Employment by the Company

Subject to Rule 8.4 (Redundancy), if a Participant leaves the employment of the Group as a result of termination by their employer of their contract of employment or their contract for the provisions of services, for Cause or not for Cause, no payment shall be made in respect of any Award regardless of whether such Award has Vested.

6.5Payment of Tax Liability

The Participant authorises the Company to deduct from the cash payment any Tax Liability due in respect of the cash payment.

Where an Award is satisfied by shares the Participant authorises the Company to withhold from the number of shares otherwise issuable a number of shares with a Fair Market Value equal to the Tax Liability (but no more than the maximum required statutory withholding liability).

6.6Section 409A and Section 457 of the Code

On the basis that the Plan does not confer any right (contingent or otherwise) on a Participant to receive a payment until a Vesting Date (except in the event of death, Disability or Retirement so long as Goodwill Growth Value occurs), any benefit provided under the Plan should not be subject to the provisions of Section 409A. The intent of the Company is that payments under the Plan comply with Section 409A and 457A of the Code to the extent subject thereto, and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, the Plan shall be interpreted and be administered to be in compliance therewith. Any payments described in the Plan that are due within the "short-term deferral period" as defined in Section 409A of the Code shall not be treated as deferred compensation unless applicable law requires otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan no payment or distribution under the Plan that constitutes an item of deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code and becomes payable by reason of a Participant's termination of employment with the Company will be made to such Participant until such Participant's termination of employment constitutes a "separation from service" (as defined in Section 409A of the Code). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, to the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A of the Code, amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided during the six (6) month period immediately following the Participant's termination of employment shall instead be paid on the first business day after the date that is six (6) months following the Participant's “separation from service” (or upon the Participant's death, if earlier). In addition, for purposes of the Plan, each amount to be paid to the Participant pursuant to the Plan that constitutes deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. The Company makes no representation that any or all of the payments described in the Plan will be exempt from or comply with Section 409A or 457A of the Code and makes no undertaking to preclude Section 409A or 457A of the Code from applying to any such payment. The Participant shall be solely responsible for the payment of any taxes and penalties incurred under Section 409A and 457A of the Code.

7.LAPSE OF AWARDS

7.1An Award shall lapse:

(a)in accordance with the Rules; or

(b)to the extent it does not Vest under these Rules or becomes incapable of Vesting, if earlier; or

(c)subject to Rule 8 (Good Leavers) on the date that a Participant receives notice of termination of employment for Cause or not for Cause, or on the date of cessation of employment for Cause or not for Cause, whichever is earlier, or where a Participant is subject to redundancy prior to the Trigger Event Date; or

(d)on the date that a Participant gives notice of termination of employment, or on the date of cessation of employment, whichever is earlier, other than where notice is given by a Participant as a Good Leaver.

7.2No payment shall be made in respect of any Award that has lapsed, or in respect of any Award that has Vested but is not yet paid, or where the Participant leaves the company in the circumstances set out in Rule 7.1(c) and 7.1(d) above.

8.GOOD LEAVERS

8.1    Good leavers before a Trigger Event Date

If a Participant ceases to be an employee of the Group before the Trigger Event Date by reason of:

(a)death,

(b)Disability; or

(c)Retirement;

then such Participants shall be considered Good Leavers and, subject to Rule 8.3 (Pro Rata Reduction in Payment), and provided the Participant is not in breach of the terms of their Non-Compete Agreement, if any, all of the Participant’s Award, or any unvested part of their Award, shall Vest on the Early Vesting Date with the amount of the Award calculated by applying the formula in Rule 6.1 (Amount of Award) on the Early Vesting Date, with payment made in accordance with Rule 6.2 (Payment), subject to Rule 6.3 (Payment of Tax Liability).

8.1Good Leavers after a Trigger Event Date

If a Good Leaver ceases to be an employee of the Group after the first Normal Vesting Date, then provided the Participant is not in breach of the terms of their Non-Compete Agreement, if any, any unvested part of the Participant’s Award shall Vest on the Early Vesting Date with the amount of the Award calculated Date by applying the formula in Rule 6.1 (Amount of Award) on the Trigger Event Date, with payment made in accordance with Rule 6.2 (Payment), subject to Rule 6.3 (Payment of Tax Liability).

8.2Pro rata reduction in payment

Where a Good Leaver ceases to be an employee of the Group before a Trigger Event Date the Board shall determine the payment of the Award by applying a pro rata reduction to the number of Units comprising the Award based on the period of time from and including the Pro Rata Reference Date and ending on the Early Vesting Date, relative to the period between the Pro Rata Reference Date and the Deemed Trigger Event Date, unless the Board, acting fairly

and reasonably, decides that the reduction to the value of the Award under this Rule 8.2 is inappropriate in any particular case, when it shall increase the value of the Award to such higher amount as it decides is appropriate up to a maximum of 100% of the Units subject to the Award.

8.4Redundancy

If a Participant ceases to be an employee of the Group by reason of Redundancy after a Trigger Event Date, then all of such Participant’s Award shall vest according to the timetable set out in Rule 5.1 (Timing of Vesting: Normal Vesting Date), with the amount of the Award calculated by applying the formula in Rule 6.1 (Amount of Award) on the Trigger Event Date with payment made in accordance with Rule 6.2 (Payment), subject to Rule 6.3 (Payment of Tax Liability).,

8.5Meaning of ceasing employment

Solely for the purpose of this agreement, a Participant shall be treated for the purposes of this Rule 8 (Good Leavers) as ceasing to be an employee of the Group when: (i) the Participant issues a notice of termination to the Company not as a Good Leaver, or (ii) where the Company issues a notice of termination, either for Cause or not for Cause.

9.ADJUSTMENT OF AWARDS

9.1General rule

In the event of any variation of the structure of the Group, which leads to a material effect on the Plan to the disadvantage of the Participants, the Board may, acting reasonably, make such adjustments as it considers appropriate to the number of Units subject to the Award.

9.2Effect of adjustment

Any adjustment to the number of Units under Rule 9.1 (General Rule) shall not be treated as triggering an increase to the percentage of the Goodwill Growth Value shared by the Value Appreciation Pool (as set out in Rule 10.3 (Increase to the Valuation Appreciation Pool)) unless the Board determines otherwise.

10.ALTERATIONS

10.1.General rule on alterations

Except as described in Rule 10.2 (Alterations to disadvantage of Participants) the Board may at any time alter the Plan or the terms of any Award.

10.2.Alterations to disadvantage of Participants

No alteration to the Plan which results in a material adverse effect on the rights of the Participants shall be made under this Rule 10 unless:

(a)the Board shall have invited every relevant Participant to indicate whether or not they approve the alteration; and

(b)the alteration is approved by a majority of those Participants who have given such an indication,

provided that, if the alteration has a disproportionately material adverse effect on the rights of any group of Participants, the affirmative consent to the alteration by all Participants disproportionately affected is required.

10.3.Increase to the Value Appreciation Pool

The Board may increase the number of Units that comprise the Value Appreciation Pool provided that in such circumstances the percentage of the Goodwill Growth Value shared by the Value Appreciation Pool shall be increased by the same proportion.

By way of example:

If the number of Units increases to 11,000,000 (a 10% increase) the percentage of the Goodwill Growth Value shared by the Value Appreciation Pool shall increase to 11%.

11.MISCELLANEOUS

11.1Employment

The rights and obligations of any individual under the terms of their office or employment with the Group shall not be affected by their participation in the Plan or any right which they may have to participate in it. Save for those Participants identified in Rule 8.1 (Good Leavers before a Trigger Event Date), Rule 8.2 (Good Leavers after a Trigger Event Date) and Rule 8.4 (Redundancy), an individual who participates in the Plan waives any and all rights to compensation or damages in consequence of the termination of their office or employment for any reason whatsoever insofar as those rights arise or may arise from them ceasing to have rights under an Award as a result of such termination. Participation in the Plan shall not confer a right to continued employment upon any individual who participates in it. The grant of any Award does not imply that any further Award will be granted nor that a Participant has any right to receive any further Award.

11.2Disputes

In the event of any dispute or disagreement as to the interpretation of the Plan, or as to any question or right arising from or relating to the Plan, the decision of the Board shall be final and binding upon all persons.

(a)by personal delivery or by internal or ordinary post, in the case of the Company at its registered office, and in the case of an individual to their last known address;

(b)in an electronic communication to their usual business address or such other address for the time being notified for that purpose to the person giving the notice; or

(c)by such other method as the Board determines.

Where a notice or document is sent by ordinary or internal post, it shall be treated as being received 72 hours after it was put into the post properly addressed and, where relevant, stamped. In all other cases, the notice or document shall be treated as received when it is given. A notice or document sent to the Company shall only be effective once it is received by the Company, unless otherwise agreed by the Company.
