Fidelis Insurance Group Expands Capital Management Initiatives

Increases common share repurchase authorization, bringing the total current authorization to $400 million

Announces quarterly dividend of $0.15 per common share payable March 27, 2026

Fidelis Insurance Holdings Limited (NYSE:FIHL) ("Fidelis Insurance Group" or "the Company"), a strategic capital allocator and risk selector in specialty insurance and reinsurance, announced today an expansion of its capital management initiatives. The Company's Board of Directors approved an increase to the current common share repurchase authorization to $400 million and additionally approved and declared a dividend of $0.15 per common share, payable on March 27, 2026, to shareholders of record on March 16, 2026.

This announcement builds on the $313.7 million in capital returned to shareholders in the year ended December 31, 2025, including the repurchase of 15,184,976 common shares for $261.4 million and $52.3 million in dividends. Notably, shares repurchased within the fourth quarter of 2025 included an aggregate of 4,075,726 common shares repurchased through two privately negotiated transactions totaling $75.0 million with CVC Falcon Holdings Limited.

Dan Burrows, Fidelis Insurance Group CEO, stated, "We are, first and foremost, strategic capital allocators, focused on identifying the most compelling opportunities and prioritizing initiatives that drive shareholder value creation. With our strong capital position, we continue to pursue attractive underwriting opportunities - both through new partnerships that are driving growth and with The Fidelis Partnership - while also returning capital to our shareholders through dividends and highly accretive buybacks."

Burrows further commented, "Today's announced increase to our common share repurchase authorization provides us with additional flexibility to capitalize on the considerable discount between our current stock price and net book value. We look forward to continuing to opportunistically execute repurchases both in the open market and through privately negotiated transactions, as we return capital to shareholders."

Additional details: Share Repurchase Authorization and Dividend

Share Repurchase Authorization: The Company's Board of Directors has approved an increase to the current common share repurchase program (the "Program"), bringing the total current authorization to $400 million.
