Explanation of Responses:

* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) The Performance Share Units ("PSUs") vested on January 1, 2012; however, settlement of any shares took place following the calculation of the factor described in footnote (2). The factor used to determine the number of common shares awarded was determined following the filing of the Company's annual report on Form 10-K on March 13, 2012.
(2) Vesting of PSUs is contingent on the reporting person's continued employment with Flagstone Reinsurance Holdings SA (the "Company") and the Company meeting certain fully diluted return-on-equity ("FDROE") goals. Upon vesting, the PSU holder is entitled to receive a number of common shares of the Company (or the cash equivalent, at the election of the Company) equal to the product of the number of PSUs granted multiplied by a factor based on the Company's FDROE during the vesting period. The factor ranges between 0.5 and 1.5, depending on the FDROE achieved during the vesting period. Based on the FDROE achieved during the relevant period, the number of common shares awarded was determined by multiplying the number of PSUs by a factor of 0.5.
(3) Represents shares used to satisfy tax withholding obligation upon settlement of PSUs described in footnotes (1) and (2).

Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space is insufficient, see Instruction 6 for procedure.
