For securities with variable principal repayment, the estimated duration should be used with respect to the duration restrictions. All holdings must be denominated in the base currency of the relevant portfolio (but including legacy currencies in the case of Euros). WITHHOLDING TAXES: No investments shall be made that give rise to withholding taxes unless the after-tax returns are competitive with available returns on which withholding taxes are not imposed, which will ordinarily only occur where the investor is able to utilize the withheld taxes as a credit against its domestic income tax liability. In general investments made with respect to the Bermuda account will, in the case of securities issued by U.S. issuers, be limited to securities that are eligible for the " portfolio interest exemption"- i.e., essentially securities that are in registered form and not issued by a 10% or more shareholder of Platinum Holdings. KEY: * General obligation bonds are secured by the issuer's pledge of its full faith, credit and taxing power for the payment of principal and interest. Revenue or special tax bonds are payable only from the revenues derived from a particular facility or class of facilities or, in some cases, from the proceeds of a special excise or other tax, but not from general tax revenues. Municipal bonds will be utilized when there is an after-tax benefit to the portfolio. ** No more than 25% of the portfolio assets can be invested in an industry. *** For Credit Default Swaps, the rating of the reference entity will serve as the rating for the Swap. ****
