REMOVAL OF SECURITIES FROM REGISTRATION
White Mountains Insurance Group, Ltd., an exempted Bermuda limited liability company (the “Registrant”) and the Sirius International Holding Company, Inc. 401(k) Savings and Investment Plan (formerly known as the FolksAmerica Holding Company 401(k) Savings and Investment Plan) (the “Plan”) filed a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-82563) (the “Initial Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 9, 1999. The Initial Registration Statement covered 200,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Registrant to be issued under the Plan and an indeterminate amount of plan interests. The Plan also filed a Post Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Initial Registration Statement (File No. 333-82563) (the “Amended Registration Statement”) on February 15, 2000.
As of April 18, 2016, Sirius International Holding Company, Inc. 401(k) Savings and Investment Plan ceased to be an affiliate of the Registrant. The Registrant’s Common Stock is no longer an investment alternative under the Plan, and no further offers or sales of the Registrant’s Common Stock are being made through the Plan. In accordance with an undertaking made by the Registrant in the Amended Registration Statement to remove by means of a post-effective amendment any securities that remain unsold at the termination of the offering, this Post-Effective Amendment is being filed to remove from registration the Common Stock and plan interests not heretofore sold pursuant to the Amended Registration Statement. The Amended Registration Statement is hereby further amended, as appropriate, to reflect the deregistration of such Common Stock and plan interests.
