2 Forward-Looking Statements This presentation contains, and management may make, certain statements that are not historical facts but that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included or referenced in this presentation which address activities, events or developments which White Mountains expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Please see our discussion on page 109 of our 2014 report on Form 10-K and on page 67 of OneBeacon’s 2014 report on Form 10-K for a more detailed discussion of the types of expressions that may identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond our control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied or projected by, the forward-looking information and statements. In connection with the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, we provide the following cautionary remarks regarding important risks and uncertainties which, among others, could cause our actual results to differ materially from our expectations, including those reflected in our forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: (i) the risks associated with Item 1A of the Company’s and OneBeacon’s 2014 reports on Form 10-K; (ii) claims arising out of catastrophic events, such as hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, fires, terrorist attacks or severe winter weather; (iii) the continued availability of capital and financing; (iv) general economic, market or business conditions; (v) business opportunities (or lack thereof) that may be presented to us and pursued; (vi) competitive forces, including the conduct of other property and casualty insurers and reinsurers; (vii) changes in domestic or foreign laws or regulations, or their interpretation, applicable to us, our competitors or our clients; (viii) an economic downturn or other economic conditions adversely affecting our financial position; (ix) recorded loss reserves subsequently proving to have been inadequate; (x) actions taken by rating agencies from time to time, such as financial strength or credit ratings downgrades or placing ratings on negative watch; and (xi) other factors, most of which are beyond our control. Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this presentation are qualified by these cautionary statements, and there can be no assurance that the actual results or developments anticipated by us will be realized or, even if substantially realized, they will have the expected consequences to, or effects on our business or operations. Our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this presentation and we assume no obligation to update publicly any such forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Non-GAAP Financial Measures Within this presentation, we use the following non-GAAP financial measures: (i) Adjusted Shareholders’ Equity and Adjusted Book Value Per Share (ABVPS); (ii-iv) Investments Total Return, Fixed Income Total Return, and Risk Assets Total Return; (v) Sirius Group’s Adjusted Book Value (ABV); (vi) Symetra Operating ROE; (vii) Symetra Carrying Value; (viii) OneBeacon Accident Year Loss and LAE Ratio; (ix) OneBeacon Adjusted Book Value; and (x) Risk Asset Exposure.

Closed the sale of the OneBeacon runoff business Transition from Prospector Partners / David Linker - CIO HG Global/BAM continues to execute well in a tough environment Insurance Services Businesses: − Low capital, high potential insurance marketing/technology investments around the world − Total committed capital of $340 million − At least three great businesses (~60% of the committed capital) – one miss (small) Symetra had a good year with 10% Operating ROE; good start to 2015 Life Re runoff continues as expected, contracts expire June 2016 Net undeployed capital of about $600 million/low leverage WTM – 2014 and 1Q15 Performance 5

HG Global/BAM 8
HG Global/BAM – Great Execution in a Tough Environment BAM is the leader in its target market: − Strong team, systems and risk management − Licensed in all 50 states and D.C. − Significant market position with broad range of dealers/issuers (1,200+ members) − Strong trading value/broad market acceptance 1Q15: Cumulative $14 billion par insured Capturing 46% of insured transactions/40% of par insured Pricing remains pressured from low interest rates and intense competition Insured penetration continues to improve Quality of portfolio remains high High margin new products 9
Market Environment – Interest Rates Interest rates and credit spreads remain challenging: Competition is limiting the credit spread capture at approximately 25% vs. long-term historical average of 50-60% − Expect credit spread capture to improve as both interest rates increase and credit spreads widen 10
PRIVATE CAPITAL MUTUAL CAPITAL Time HG Global/BAM - The Capital Advantage 4-6% RoC WTM economics derived from: − Interest on surplus notes − Repayment of surplus notes − Reinsurance premiums and float − Long-term franchise value 2-4% RoC 10-15% RoC Surplus Note Repayment 11
HG Global/BAM – BUILT TO LAST Current environment: − Credit quality is on target − Market share is high − Issuance volume and insured penetration growing − Pricing is below target (low rates/spreads – competition) Drivers of further success are: − Higher interest rates/spread − Pricing discipline (Puerto Rico/rating agencies) BAM’s CLEAN BALANCE SHEET NO PUERTO RICO WILL WIN OVER TIME BETTER CAPITAL STRUCTURE UNDERWRITING DISCIPLINE/TEAM 12

Risk Asset Playbook for 2015 Equity valuations are elevated − Global QE encouraging purchases of risk assets − Equity markets have roughly doubled in past five years Equity valuations appear reasonable relative to fixed income − Corporate balance sheets in good shape − Low rates on bonds; negative rates across Europe − Potential for negative price returns on bonds We have dry powder should equities trade off Careful management of existing risk asset portfolio: − Rotated Prospector accounts into liquid broad market ETFs (e.g. S&P 500, Russell 1000) − Patiently consider additional sub-advisors following our value-oriented/bottom-up approach to investing − Maintain a high hurdle rate for new alternative assets 37
Fixed Income Playbook for 2015 We face an asymmetric market landscape: − Low rates as the Fed prepares to normalize − Tight spreads − More downside than upside We are positioned for this market: − Short duration (2.0 – 2.5 years) − Ample liquidity − Dollar cost average on rising rates (entry points matter) − Buy and sell on volatility − Rotate sectors on relative value 38
