Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(b) XL Group plc (the "Company") announced that Ms. Sarah Street, Executive Vice President, Chief Investment Officer of the Company, informed the Company of her decision to move from her current role and assume other responsibilities with the Company effective as of the closing of the Company's proposed acquisition of Catlin Group Limited (the "Acquisition"). Having led XL's Investment Team for the past eight years, Ms. Street had expressed an interest in working in a different role at XL in line with her prior and ongoing strategy and innovation responsibilities. In her new role, Ms. Street will partner with members of the Company's leadership team post-closing to establish the Company's Strategy Council, continue as Non-Executive Chairman of New Ocean Capital Management Limited, the Company's Insurance Linked Securities Manager, assist in the further build-out of other alternative capital efforts, and continue to lead key-innovation initiatives. Benji Meuli, currently Catlin's CFO, is expected to assume the role of Chief Investment Officer effective upon closing of the Acquisition. The Acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions including the receipt of competition and regulatory approvals.
