Hamilton, Bermuda, March 1, 2024 - Aspen Insurance Holdings Limited ("Aspen") (NYSE:AHL) announced today that the Board of Directors has declared the following dividends on its Preference Shares:

•Quarterly dividend of $0.5996 per share on its 5.95% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Perpetual Non-Cumulative Preference Shares with a $25 liquidation preference per share (NYSE:AHL PRC);

•Quarterly dividend of $0.3516 per share on its 5.625% Perpetual Non-Cumulative Preference Shares with a $25 liquidation preference per share (NYSE:AHL PRD); and

•Quarterly dividend of $351.56 per share on its 5.625% Perpetual Non-Cumulative Preference Shares with a $25,000 liquidation preference per preference share, represented by depositary shares, each depositary share representing a 1/1000th interest in a preference share (NYSE: AHL PRE), with a $25 liquidation preference per depositary share, with holders of such depository shares to receive $0.35156 per depositary share.

The above dividends will be payable on April 1, 2024 to holders of record as of the close of business on March 15, 2024.

In connection with the dividends declared and to be paid on the AHL PRC Preference Shares, given the cessation of LIBOR as from the final publication on June 30, 2023 and the failure of any qualifying banks to provide quotes to the appointed calculation agent as contemplated by the floating rate determination language set forth in the governing instrument, then, in accordance with the provisions of such instrument, the floating rate to be applied to dividends on the AHL PRC Shares will equal the 3-month LIBOR on June 29, 2023 (representing 3-month LIBOR for the previous floating rate period at the applicable determination date), plus 4.06%, being, in the case of this applicable floating rate dividend period, a coupon rate payable of 9.59343%. It is expected, but not certain, that the banks will continue to be unable to provide quotes and this coupon rate will remain at 9.59343% for future dividend periods, as contemplated by the terms of the governing instrument.
