HAMILTON, Bermuda - January 29, 2021 - Blue Capital Reinsurance Holdings Ltd. (in liquidation) (OTC:BCRHF) (the "Company"), a Bermuda holding company, today reported its financial position for the fourth quarter of 2020. The Company, through its operating subsidiaries, previously offered collateralized reinsurance in the property catastrophe market and invested in various insurance-linked securities.

Net assets in liquidation increased $0.9 million dollars in the current quarter largely driven by favorable loss reserve development from 2017 and 2018 events. The Company's fully converted book value per common share was $0.61 at December 31, 2020, compared to $0.50 as of September 30, 2020.

This special distribution will be paid on February 16, 2021 with a record date of February 8, 2021.
