Blue Capital Reinsurance Holdings (in liquidation) Reports Second Quarter 2021 Financial Position

HAMILTON, Bermuda - July 28, 2021 - Blue Capital Reinsurance Holdings Ltd. (in liquidation) (OTC:BCRHF) (the "Company"), a Bermuda holding company, today reported its financial position for the second quarter of 2021. The Company, through its operating subsidiaries, previously offered collateralized reinsurance in the property catastrophe market and invested in various insurance-linked securities. The Company is currently winding down its operations.

Net assets in liquidation decreased $2.5 million dollars in the current quarter, largely driven by the declaration of an interim special distribution of $2.5 million in June 2021. The Company's fully converted book value per common share was $0.15 at June 30, 2021, compared to $0.43 as of March 31, 2021. The interim special distribution announced in June 2021 is not a final distribution; future distributions will occur to the extent sufficient funds are available as the liquidation continues.
