Aspen Insurance Holdings Limited (“Aspen”) (NYSE:AHL) has priced
an underwritten public offering of 10,000,000 Depositary Shares,
each of which represents a 1/1000th interest in a share of the
Company’s newly designated 5.625% Perpetual Non-Cumulative
Preference Shares (the “Preference Shares”). The Preference Shares
have a liquidation preference of $25,000 per Preference Share,
equivalent to $25 per Depositary Share (or $250 million in
aggregate liquidation preference).
The offering was made pursuant to an effective shelf

subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. Aspen
intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to redeem all of
Aspen’s outstanding 6.00% Senior Notes due 2020 and for general
corporate purposes.
The Preference Shares rank equally with preference shares
previously issued by Aspen and have no fixed maturity date. Aspen
may redeem all or a portion of the shares at a redemption price of
$25,000 per Preference Share, equivalent to $25 per Depositary
Share, on or after October 1, 2024. In addition, Aspen may redeem
shares prior to October 1, 2024 in certain other circumstances at
applicable redemption prices. Aspen intends to list the Preference
Shares on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol
