ONEBEACON INSURANCE GROUP, LTD. (NYSE:OB) Files An 8-K Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

Long-Term Incentive Award

On February 28, 2017, the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors (the Committee) of OneBeacon Insurance Group, Ltd. (the
Company) approved the grant of performance unit awards to each of
our named executive officers. The awards were made under the
OneBeacon 2017 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the 2017 Plan), and were
conditioned on our members approval of the 2017 Plan. Our members
approved the 2017 Plan at the Companys annual general meeting on
May 24, 2017.

The performance unit awards vest based on performance achievement
for the 2017-2019 performance cycle as well as continued
employment through the end of the performance cycle (subject to
earlier vesting upon a termination of employment due to death,
disability or retirement, or an involuntary or constructive
termination following a change in control). The performance
objective is generally the average of the Companys combined ratio
for 2017, 2018 and 2019. The awards made to our President and
Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer include performance objectives based on
combined ratio and growth in book value per common share
(provided, that following the closing of the merger of the
Company with Intact Financial Corporation (Intact), announced on
May 2, 2017, the performance objective for such awards will be
based on combined ratio only). Performance achievement against
target goals will be determined by the Committee following the
end the performance cycle, and the number of performance units
actually awarded at that time may range from 0% to 200% of the
target number of performance units granted. The target number of
performance units granted to each of our named executive officers
was as follows: T. Michael Miller, President and Chief Executive
Officer, 26,250 performance units; Paul H. McDonough, Executive
Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, 4,500 performance
units; Paul J. Brehm, Executive Vice President, 4,500 performance
units; Dennis A. Crosby, Executive Vice President, 12,750
performance units; and Maureen A. Phillips, Senior Vice President
and General Counsel, 3,750 performance units. Each performance
unit has a fixed value of $100 at grant.

Retention Agreements

On May 24, 2017, the Company entered into retention agreements
with each of its named executive officers for the following
amounts: T. Michael Miller, President and Chief Executive
Officer, $10,000,000; Paul H. McDonough, Executive Vice President
and Chief Financial Officer, $2,700,000; Paul J. Brehm, Executive
Vice President, $3,000,000; Dennis A. Crosby, Executive Vice
President, $4,000,000; and Maureen A. Phillips, Senior Vice
President and General Counsel, $1,200,000. These bonuses were
awarded in recognition of the leadership and efforts demonstrated
by these officers, leading to the execution of the Agreement and
Plan of Merger, dated as of May 2, 2017, among the Company,
Intact, Intact Bermuda Holdings, Ltd., and Intact Acquisition Co.
Ltd. These bonuses were also awarded to encourage the additional
efforts that will be required to consummate the merger while
operating the business at the officers current level of
dedication and excellence, and to encourage continued employment
with the Company after the closing of the merger.

Each retention bonus, other than Mr. Millers, will become payable
as follows: 34% of the bonus will be payable upon the closing of
the merger, 33% of the bonus will be payable on the first
anniversary of the closing of the merger, and 33% of the bonus
will be payable on the second anniversary of the closing of the
merger, in each case, subject to continued employment. In the
case of Mr. Miller, 40% of the bonus will be payable on the
closing of the merger, 30% of the bonus will be payable on the
first anniversary of the closing of the merger, and 30% of the
bonus will be payable on the second anniversary of the closing of
the merger, in each case, subject to continued employment. If the
officers employment is terminated due to an involuntary
termination (as defined in the retention agreement), or death or
disability, a portion of the bonus may be accelerated, in
accordance with the payment schedule and other conditions set
forth in the retention agreement. In the case of Mr. Millers
retention bonus agreement only, if after the closing of the
merger, OneBeacon experiences a change in control, Mr. Miller
would be entitled to receive any remaining unpaid portion of his
retention bonus upon the date of such change in control.

If the officers employment terminates before the final
installment of the bonus is paid, the officer will be subject to
noncompetition restrictions for up to twelve months following
such termination (depending on the circumstances giving rise to
termination and when the termination occurs). The officer will
also be subject to nonsolicitation restrictions following
termination of employment until the first anniversary of such
termination, or in certain cases, until the second anniversary of
the date on which the last installment of the bonus was paid
(depending on the circumstances giving rise to termination and
when the termination occurs).

The retention agreements further provide that, if payments to the
officer in connection with the merger are subject to golden
parachute excise taxes imposed under Section 4999 of the Internal
Revenue Code, the payments to the officer will be reduced in
order to limit or avoid the golden parachute excise tax if and to
the extent such reduction is expected to produce a better
after-tax result for the officer. However, if the after-tax
result before applying any such reduction would not be more than
10% greater than the after-tax result if such payments were
reduced to avoid such golden parachute excise taxes, then the
Company may, in its sole discretion, reduce the payments to the
extent necessary so that no portion of such payments would be
subject to such golden parachute excise taxes.

The above disclosure is qualified by reference to the full text
of the forms of retention agreement, which are filed as Exhibits
10.1 and 10.2 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

Severance Plan

On May 24, 2017, OneBeacon Services, LLC, a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company, adopted the OneBeacon Severance Plan
(the Severance Plan), which provides severance benefits to
eligible employees, including the named executive officers. The
Severance Plan will be effective upon the closing of the merger.
The Severance Plan provides the Companys employees, including our
named executive officers, with severance benefits upon a
termination of employment without cause or due to a constructive
termination (as such terms are defined in the Severance Plan). If
such termination occurs with respect to any named executive
officer, he or she would be eligible to receive a lump sum
payment equal to two times the sum of his or her (i) annual base
salary and (ii) annual target bonus. In addition, like other
employees, the named executive officer would be eligible to
receive outplacement assistance as well as reimbursement of the
company-portion of COBRA premiums, for up to 18 months. Benefits
under the Severance Plan are contingent on the delivery of a
release of claims.

The above disclosure is qualified by reference to the full text
of the Severance Plan, which is filed as Exhibit 10.3 hereto and
incorporated by reference herein.

the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement with Intact, including in circumstances which would require OneBeacon to pay a termination fee or other expenses;

risks related to diverting managements attention from our ongoing business operations and other risks related to the announcement or pendency of the proposed merger with Intact, including on our ability to retain and hire key personnel, our ability to maintain relationships with our customers, policyholders, brokers, service providers and others with whom we do business and our operating results and business generally;

the risk that shareholder litigation in connection with the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement with Intact may result in significant costs of defense, indemnification and liability; and

other factors, most of which are beyond our control.
