Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On January 11, 2011, PartnerRe Ltd. announced that the Company has redefined its financial reporting segment tables. The new presentation continues to include three segments: Non-Life, Life, and Corporate and Other. The Non-Life segment will now have four sub-segments: North America, Global (Non-U.S.) P&C, Global (Non-U.S.) Specialty, and Catastrophe. The Life segment remains unchanged. PARIS RE will no longer be presented as a separate Non-Life sub-segment and its historical results have been recast into the Company’s other Non-Life sub-segments. In addition, management responsibilities for certain lines of business and certain other treaties have been redefined, and the historical Non-Life sub-segment results have been recast to reflect these changes accordingly.
As provided in General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information and exhibits contained in this Form 8-K are not deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, are not otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section and are not incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
Item 8.01 Other Events
