Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.

As a matter of good corporate governance, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Audit Committee") of RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd. (the "Company") has been taking a number of steps in consideration of a potential audit firm rotation. Ernst & Young Ltd. ("EY"), the Company's current independent registered public accounting firm, has served as the Company's auditor since 1993. Earlier this year, the Audit Committee invited several registered public accounting firms, including EY, to participate in this process.

Following an extensive evaluation process, on July 28, 2021, the Audit Committee determined to select PricewaterhouseCoopers Ltd. ("PwC") as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the Company's fiscal year ending December 31, 2022, subject to completion of PwC's standard client acceptance procedures and execution of an engagement letter. The appointment of PwC is also subject to the approval of the Company's shareholders at the Company's 2022 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. EY will continue as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2021. On August 2, 2021, EY delivered a letter of resignation as auditor of the Company, to be effective immediately following the filing of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021.

EY's reports on the Company's consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the subsequent interim periods through August 2, 2021, there were no disagreements within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions between the Company and EY on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to EY's satisfaction, would have caused EY to make reference thereto in their reports, and no "reportable events" within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The Company has requested that EY furnish a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements. A copy of EY's letter, dated August 2, 2021, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 and the subsequent interim periods through August 2, 2021, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf has consulted with PwC regarding the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that PwC concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue, or any matter that was the subject of a disagreement (within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or any reportable event (within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
